    Mia's Vocabulary

    Mia says "Up." Mia means "up."
    Mia says "Esch." Mia means "Yes."
    Mia says "Mommom." Mia means "Mommom" or "Grammy."
    Mia says "Die-Die." Mia does not mean "Die-Die," or "Dada." Mia means "Dianna."

    Sugaaa.

    I have to work tonight so Sheila's watching Mia overnight and I'll pick her up after work tomorrow afternoon. She wanted to come get her early to avoid all the daytime traffic between Hampton and the Beach...so Dianna and I packed it up and went over to her Mom's to enjoy some good chlorinated fun.

    Swim, swim, swim...

    We left...

    While we were stopped at London Bridge waiting for the light, some HOTTIE Marines approached the car and offered to wash our car...for a donation of course. They said we'd have 10 Marines washing it...nice. So we pulled around and saw 10 Marines alright. 8 UNhott guys and 2 chicks. Right. So we bypassed the wash and filed a complaint with the hotties (something along the lines of, "Why do you guys have all the hotties up here? We don't need our car washed that bad.") Anyway, we donated $5 to the cause...eye-candy is always a nice afternoon treat.

    Diet Kazaaaaaaaaa.

    Kazaa-Lite, really. I've been Kazaa-ing a lot lately and I'm running out of ideas. Recommend a song for me to download, please. And [d], no Lagwagon or any other equally sucky bands, please.

    Anti-Label.

    At the MOMENT...neither of us is interested in seeing other people...but because of reasons semi-detailed in the Monday the 18th post...that does NOT make us anything other than whatver it is we are...if that makes sense. No labels. Just going with the flow. A new kind of thing for me...but I think I can handle this one.

    8.26.2003

    No esta aqui.

    I haven't been around to post, lo siento. I've been running around town and hanging out with "the guy."

    In other "news," my search for a car to replace the Honda may finally have ended. Dianna has a 95 or 96 Nissan Altima she plans on selling when she gets approved on a newer model Honda Accord. Mia and I will hopefully soon be bumpin around in the Nissan complete with its 17" rims and tinted windows. Hehe. We just might officially become Southern.

    Paranoia.

    That is why I have "missing" posts. Everything worked out the way it was supposed to for those of you that saw them.

    8.20.2003

    Movie.

    Good times. We actually stayed in and watched "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."

    Good times. I'll be seeing him again.

    And that's all there is to tell...actually, that's just all I'm going to say.

    Code stealing.

    I stole these two lines of code from [drunkadelic]. They were taken on Friday night...I'm in both pics...and one is only of me...so you won't have any problems picking me out.

    Me, Me + 2.

    Go to [d]'s and check out the rest of the photos :)

    Alan, or Cordle, as some of us know and love him, left this comment on my "crappy hand" post. I want to make this an open discussion.

    Does playing "hard to get" really work?

    If so, and based on the information I've already disclosed...what do you recommend I do in the coming days?

    Eh?

    He called.

    We're going out tomorrow night...probably to see S.W.A.T. I have to be home early :) Sucker.

    Anyway...while we were talking...I mentioned that Mia is going to be at her Grandmother's in Hampton overnight on Friday and he asked what my plans are. Riiiight.

    Then he mentioned he's having a party on Saturday and asked if I was working. Riiight.

    He definitely sounds like a guy that doesn't put forth any effort.
    [edit: This is my attempt at sarcasm in type.]

    BUT...no expectations, no disappointments...just go with the flow.

    8.18.2003

    Looks like you got dealt a pretty crappy hand, huh?

    Brian's away message sums up what I'm thinking right now.

    I went out last night with this GREAT guy, had a GREAT time...and then I talked to him a little bit ago. He was giving me a little background information...he's been divorced for 6 years, yadda, yadda, yadda...and apparently he's incredibly scarred by the whole thing and in the past years hasn't been willing to put forth any sort of effort into pretty much any relationship and either doesn't think he's capable of ever falling in love again or is totally afraid to because of how things ended with the wifey.

    So KNOWING ALL THIS, I'm going out with him again on Wednesday.

    Granted, I've only gone out with him once, and it's ridiculous to have any expectations any time soon, the whole thing just bothers me. Do I continue to see him knowing that it could quite possibly never go anywhere? Or do I walk away now while the only thing I've invested is a Sunday night?

    The realist in me says, "back off, baby." But the romantic in me says, "What the hell?! Give it a shot. There's nothing you love more than a challenge!"

    Unfortunately, or maybe not unfortunately, the romantic beat the realist into a bloody pulp and we're going out Wednesday. I guess I'll at least walk away from the situation with a friend. Maybe.

    Kaka.

    Mia and I sat outside for a little while today. Amanda, the 3 or 4 something-year-old kid next door walked over quietly with her bag of mini-"messmellows" and sat down to join us.

    [Mia picks up a clump of grass and dirt]
    Me: Nono Mia, that's kaka.
    [Mia hands over the clump of grass and dirt]
    Amanda: No it's not. That's grass.
    Me: [Smile.]

    WOOHOO!

    I love memes. I loved when bears-cave had the two words things. But I found this at mishmish.

  • Miss America:: That deaf chick that won.
  • Cherubs:: Fat babies.
  • Shark Week:: Discovery Channel
  • Sunflowers:: The seeds. Yum.
  • Sorority:: Cleveland State. Ha.
  • Grilled chicken: Tastes like frog legs.
  • 100:: And then some.
  • Tickle monster:: Mommy Hands!!
  • Veronica:: Bitch.
  • Slurpee:: 7-11
    That was fun!

    • Found at bears-cave:

    casablanca
    "You must remember this, a kiss is still a
    kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
    classic story of love in trying times, chock
    full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
    believe in true love, but you're also
    constantly aware of practicality and societal
    expectations. That's not always fun, but at
    least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
    get you down too much.

    Mommy's Secret Weapon.

    Just like her Auntie Meghan, Mia loves some Willie. Nelson, that is. Not Wet. She has yet to hear the end of Willie Nelson & Ray Charles' "Seven Spanish Angels." Good song. Sleepy Mia.

    I'm debating on cutting Mia's hair...not acutally doing it MYSELF...but having it cut. My stylist has a 3 year old and I'm sure she's well practiced. I love her hair...and it's fun to put it up in clips on top of her head, but it's only long on top and it looks awful if it's NOT up. Guidance please!!

    You know how they always say

    that when you're with someone, countless other people want you and then when you're single, you're really single?? Everyone says it's because you emit some sort of "happily unavailable" or "i don't need anyone" vibe.

    The only people this theory is true for are the people that don't have that vibe all the time. I know, because I just found it.

    I'm 22, I'm a single mom, I'm beautiful...and I don't need a man. That's nice. Especially considering I had 3 beautiful men call me today. None of them were the one I was hoping for...but things with him wouldn't work out anyway.

    Jack.

    I was reclined in Great-Grandma's old chair, eating cheesy popcorn and watching The Osbournes Finale. It's all fun and games until Jack kills a dog. Right. I was thoroughly disgusted. I lost my apetite (which is good, because I shouldn't eat at 10:30pm anyway) and then had to relive the whole thing because when they came back from commerical, the show started at the same point it had started at after the PREVIOUS break. And then at the end of the show, the director yelled "cut" and it all turned out to be a big joke.

    Nice, MTV. I'm not laughing.

    A day late and more than a dollar short...

    Here is Promoguy's Monday Mission 3.32: 1. Over the weekend, the folks at work cleaned out the refrigerator. Now this is a wonderful thing when you consider the food sometimes lurking about. Not so good when you have forgotten to take your leftovers home. So when I came in today, they had tossed out my Asiago Cheese Bagel from Panera Breads that I was looking forward to eating for breakfast. They even threw away the Tupperware of cream cheese I brought. Talk about a disappointing way to start your day. Have you ever been looking forward to something so badly that you were just crushed when it never happened? Um yes I have. And at the risk of making myself look like a total loser...refer to this post. 2.Have you ever been told about a wonderful present that you were never given? Maybe they went as far as telling you exactly what it was, how wonderful it would be and how much they would have loved for you to have it, but for whatever reason, they wouldn't be giving it to you after all? How did you feel about that? I vaguely remember being told my Grandpa would be paying for my college courses at TCC when/if I moved to Virginia Beach. That didn't happen. In a word, I felt SUCKERED. 3. What is the longest time you've ever kept a secret from someone, or, are you still keeping it? How did it feel to keep it so long? Can you think of a situation you were in where a secret should never have been told? I have a few secrets that I've been keeping for 1 year+. I keep secrets all the time. Some for myself...some for friends...keeping secrets is fine. It hardly matters anymore though. The person that you're keeping the secret for usually only tells 1 or 8 of his/her closest friends under the belief that whoever he/she's telling won't tell anyone else. Yeah. Right. 4. In past relationships, I've usually been the one who has told the lies. When they came to light, the results were devastating. The few times I found out I was lied to really gave me a sense of what it must have been like. Have you ever been lied to by someone you trust with all your heart? How did it feel when you found out that trust had been broken? Yes I have...and I felt like an idiot. Imagine how dumb I felt after I forgave him and it happened again. 5. When, if ever, is it acceptable to tell a lie? Are "white lies" any different than the "real whoppers?" "White lies" are just as likely to hurt someone as a "real whopper." It really depends on the situation. 6. I've found that when it comes to forgiving, I am a contradiction. If I've hurt someone I get mad when they won't forgive me right away, but when I need to forgive someone else, I find it hard to do. How are you on forgiveness? Are you able to easily forgive someone who's hurt you? Unfortunately for me, yes I am...and usually too soon. 7. When I'm feeling down, or have no energy Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" never fails to perk me up and get me going. What song gets your feet going and your energy flowing? The Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" or Dex's Midnight Runners' "Come On, Eileen."

    BONUS: Why not come dancing?I did last night!

    I haven't done the mission in awhile. I feel refreshed.

    Working Mommies:

    When I finish the Medical Assisting program at MCI in May, I'll be looking to go back to work full-time. It would be nice if I didn't have to, but I'll be doing something I'll enjoy and I'll be a step closer to getting a place for Mia and myself. So...that brings me to the subject of this post: DAYCARE.

    My mom sent me this helpful guide to help me in my selection. I was just wondering if anyone had any added input.

    Thanks!!

    Never better.

    Tonight was a good night. I had a kick-ass section at work and I made decent money (more than any of the other girls...except for Amber thanks to her $85 tip from a table of 16 year olds).

    I had an Ohio table tonight (I love them) and I was talking to one of the ladies:

    Ohio: Are your outfits one-pieces or is it a tank top and shorts??
    Me: Oh, they're two pieces. Tank top and shorts.
    Ohio: Oh. That's what I thought. It's hard to tell though, they're so tight you can hardly tell where it tucks in.
    Me: Yeah... :)
    Ohio: Well, never have kids...you won't be able to fit in that ever again.
    Me: Oh :) I already have one.
    Ohio: Get OUT!! You look great!! Good job!!

    :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    And since last night...I've been all smiles. I visited the "Greathouse" for a party. Good times. "Never better" times, actually.

    8.08.2003

    I guess it's not such a GREAThouse after all.

    I was about to repost this, but in talking to the "drama-effected," I realized guys are really bigger drama queens than girls are.

    There is a whole HOUSE of guys that create nothing BUT drama. There are guys that don't think twice about trying to talk to girls their friends' just stopped talking to. There are guys (one in particular) that tries talking to girls his friends are STILL talking to. There are friends of the "house guys" that just don't talk. There are guys that talk too much for their own good...and there are guys that don't talk much but somehow manage to say something stupid everytime they do.

    Maybe it's not so much a drama thing as it is a this house thing or a coast guard thing. Who knows?

    Twins.


    8.07.2003

    Aw naw.

    Shuckers. The Edge. Shuckers. I just can't get enough. No boys out tonight. But I'll be seeing a couple later this week.

    Dianna - If you see my hottie before I do, say "hi" for me. ;-)

    8.05.2003

    Post much?

    How about going postal?? I'm not going to mention any names because as she's reading this, she knows who she is.

    I love you honey. But seriously, tonight I realized how Cindy felt for all that time I kept running back to Shawn and then bitching to her about it. Stop this insanity. If you're happy being treated with less respect and adoration than you deserve...it's upsetting to me, and I'll advise you against it...but I'm not going to take too kindly to listening to you bitch about it later. With as many people as you know, and as many people as we meet when we go out, and as many people we've yet to meet, why settle for someone so dramatic this early?? Even Shawn waited a decent bit of time before he pulled the "surprise-i'm-an-asshole card."

    Generally speaking, I guess people never really take advice. Sure, they'll ask for it, they'll think about it, mull it over, even. But when it comes down to it, people are going to do whatever they want and they're going to use whatever justification they're most able to convince themselves with...because it sure as hell doesn't convince anyone else.

    Right.

    Ok. Squawkbox is gone. They suck. Just like Scott-San said...the commenting system has gone to shyte.

    I was wondering why Brian was the only one that commented on the Liz story. Anyway...

    NEVER FEAR. I have found a new commenting system that is easily installed and is free. Here is the link [link]. Good luck darlings.

    UPDATE: I started having the same problems Scott-San has been having with enetation.co.uk where the same comment appears all the way down the site. So I'm temporarily out of a commenting system.

    NEXT UPDATE (posted 10 minutes after the last one): The new commenting system is provided by backBlog. Hopefully this one works better than those before it.

    8.03.2003

    Chris is bad...Liz is worse.

    "When is Mia going to be old enough for you to leave her alone?" she asked.

    "What do you mean, alone?" I didn't understand her question.

    "I mean by herself."

    "Oh...Um...not for about 14 years or so." I said.

    "What?! Can't you just leave her with some food?"

    "Umm, NO!!" I was totally dumbfounded.

    "Alright man. I don't know anything...everything I say is just dumb." When she said that, it sounded like she was really offended that I thought she was a total idiot.

    Hmph.

    8.02.2003

    "Damn...

    the white girls can really break it down." Yeah. That's right. Dianna and I went out again last night. Mia spent the night with Shawn's mom and I spent the night and a good part of the morning dancing like a fool. From Waterman's to Chicho's (on a trolley) to Shuckers (with some hotties) to Shakespeare's (with a broken shoe).

    Dianna and I are dancing fools. Goodtimes...but I'm never going after-hours again. That is just ridiculous. Bars & clubs close for a reason.
