The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful

having fun all wrong

2007-10-02T14:35:20Z

Keith's hair is very long!!! Last night was the first night that I spent time with Keith since we broke up and although it was only an hour or so, it was one of the best times.

Gotta go to work

missed it

2007-03-31T16:41:18Z

I couldn't believe I missed Mandy's shindig. I was in tears. But, when she gets back I know that she and I will do something amazing to make up for it. I will miss her for the week she is gone. It isn't that I see her everyday, but knowing that I won't be able to makes it hard. She will have the time of her life on her trip and I just want her back safely.

Still hurting from my burn. I am a lobster in pain.

Happy Birthday Mandy!!!

I just have to say that I am blessed. I have a boyfriend who is in love with me, friends who want to hang out with me, and a family who will do anything for me. I am one lucky girl.

Things have been great in the past couple of weeks. I haven't seen Keith that much and it was starting to bother me, but we fixed the situation and I am starting to see him a lot more.

I have been playing catch up with lots of my friends lately. I have spent lots of time with Lara and Joel during which Joel and I started a group called Stalkers United.

I cheated and gave Mandy her birthday gift early so I am ready for that party.

St.Patty's day was fun!!! The one day of the year when my favorite color is EVERYWHERE!!! Plus I made out with a few people that day and that was fun.

Nicholas is gone now. He injured his finger during practice but they are not sending him home. Since he is playing with a broken finger, they figured he wants to be there and will allow him to stay.

I love my parents.

I love my friends.

I love my Keith.

Arriving today!!!!

2007-02-16T14:32:30Z

My new digital camera arrives today!!! I am saying good bye to my old one and saying hello to my new HP Photosmart R967 with 10 megapixels!!!! As you can tell, I am ecstatic!!!!

Valentine's Day

2007-02-15T05:27:12Z

This year, just the same as the last, was amazing. This is my second time celebrating with Keith. I have to say that it gets better and better. And I must be the most simple girl out there or pretty close to it because I am blissfully happy with dinner and a movie, a teddy bear and a card, and to end the evening, a good night kiss. It is the simple things in life. The card Keith gave me brought tears to my eyes. It was lovely. He is lovely. And to share this day with him is unbelieveable. I am so happy that he is himself and that that wonderful, amazing, handsome man loves me.

On a side note, I do miss my original Valentine Shannon. She and I celebrated three years in a row and I am sad to say that last year we retired our tradition, but the memories live on.

Sorry for the sappy love post, but I am in love and wanted to share that Keith treats me well and it was a great day for me. And in the past I have had some awful Valentine's days, but the past two times I have celebrated seemed to have erase those horrible feelings of hatred for this special day.

Keith's Birthday Party

2007-01-16T06:22:36Z

Well being that Keith's birthday is in a couple of weeks I figured I would give out the information. Everyone is invited. It isn't a surprise so feel free to call him about it.

High Cotton Jan. 27, 2007 9:00PM we will be in the back bar outside, but don't worry, they have heaters for the cold nights

Keith would really like for everyone to be there even if you just stop by, it would be nice to celebrate with friends

what a year!

2006-12-09T19:06:21Z

Yesterday Keith and I celebrated our first year together! Our night included dinner at Highlights, taking in some music at the Chill, and settling down at Adventures. All of this was done with two great friends, Judy and Art. We took some photos to document the day, shared laughter, and talked for hours. It was amazing.

In other news...Christmas time is here and I am loving every minute of it. Kim is coming home today and our shopping will start on Monday.

something so awful can be a blessing

2006-12-01T05:02:57Z

I just realized that some things in life seem so horrible, but if you look close enough, they can be a blessing. I just recently went through something like that and it turned out to be for the better. And love is always worth it!

a kiss to remember

2006-11-28T02:29:10Z

On November 27, 2005 the most wonderful first step in my relationship with Keith took place in the late hours of the night. I had gone to the rehearsal for the play that I was working props for and for which he was acting in. After rehearsals I invited him back to my house to help me clean. I never intended to clean, but I had to get him there somehow. He came over even under the pretenses of having to do work. Instead of cleaning we decided to watch a movie. I allowed him to pick the movie as long as it was a movie I wanted to watch. The movie that we agreed on was “Pirates of the Caribbean” and during it we got lost in conversation. I noticed that we kept trying to get closer and closer to each other. We were sitting on the floor and staring into each others eyes. I made a little joke about the ‘end of the night’ kiss and he laughed. He thought it was interesting that we hadn’t kissed and that I was mentioning the awkward moment that was going to happen and we talked about it for a few moments. Then I leaned in more and asked him if he wanted to kiss me. After he said yes, I just closed my eyes and let him take over. It was amazing and beautiful. After it was over I just kept telling him that he was an amazingly good kisser. At the end of the movie it was time for him to go. I am not sure what happened the rest of the night. All I remember was the feeling I had from the kiss. That kiss will always be the best one we will ever have.

just remembering a year ago today

that's when I love you

2006-11-27T04:14:14Z

Just thinking about when I love him:

When I hear you stop and laugh out loud
When you're fallin' fast asleep
When you're in the middle of a crowd
When you're lyin' close to me
When I hear you softly say my name
When you're high and when you're low
When you don't need me to explain
'Cause you already know
When you smile that way
I know, every night and day

That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

When you're drivin' in your car
When you dance and sing to the radio
When you're walkin' underneath the stars
Anywhere and everywhere you go
When you're dressed up or you're dressed down
When you're talkin' on the phone
With a million people all around
Or when you're all alone
When you're near, or you're far
You're in my heart no matter where you are

That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

When you smile that way
I know, every night and day

That's when I love you, when I need you
When I care about you
That's when I know without a doubt
That I can't live without you
Everyday I find another reason
Every season we go through
And every little thing you do
That's when I love you

in nephew heaven

2006-11-16T03:44:11Z

I finally met my two nephews and yes, I fell in love instantly! They are the only two nephews I have and they are too adorable to let go. I just LOVE them to death. They are leaving tomorrow and I just wish I had more time with them. Since their arrival last Friday I have hugged and kissed them every chance I got. Now I wish they were staying. There is a house for sale on my block and my sis and her hubby could just live there and I could see them everyday. I have had a great time with all of them. My sister and I got to spend some one on one time that was nice.

We have all had one busy week and it is so amazing that it almost feels too good. I just wish it could continue. But I know all good things must come to an end...

Nephew Heaven is where I want to stay

what a guy!

2006-10-28T15:55:58Z

Yesterday I stayed in pajamas all day long feeling like a wet noodle living in a house with no food. Knowing this, Keith went to McDonald's and bought me dinner. He brought it by and stayed for a bit. What a guy!!!!

ltlantwagon @ 2006-10-01T13:35:00

2006-10-01T18:38:48Z

It was real...it was magic
It was calm...it was savage
It was cool as a breeze
It was warm to the touch
It was never enough
It was always too much
It did all the things love does...and that's how I knew it was.

The first of the month. Is it just me, or is time flying for everyone else?

and yes, she is real!!!

2006-09-26T01:56:38Z

I had a thirty two minute conversation with Mandy tonight and it was the most needed conversation about nothing and everything. I LOVE that girl!!!

Casino Night

2006-09-22T13:15:05Z

Last night after a wonderful meal of beans & rice several of us headed to the IP. It was a great crew consisting of Keith, Nicholas, Pat, and Jordyn. The guys went off and did their own thing and Jordyn and I played blackjack. I won fifty! The night was simple, but it was nice that everyone wanted to go together.

nine and counting

2006-09-08T20:00:59Z

Nine months and still crazy about him. I cannot believe that he has put up with my crap for nine months. Then to go through these past two months and not want to break up with me is a miracle. I love that guy of mine.

a cute but odd family

2006-09-05T14:39:14Z

Yesterday Keith and I were running a few errands together and we decided to take his dog with us. The three of us were so cute. Keith was doing the man thing and driving, I was sitting in the passenger's side with Sammie on my lap. We were so adorable, the three of us. I felt like part of my own family that Keith and I have built.

ltlantwagon @ 2006-09-01T16:22:00

2006-09-01T21:28:52Z

Well it is official...Pat is moving out. Yesterday he told me that his room is ready and that the bed is being delivered. I don't know why I cried, but I did; I guess the thought of him not here when I get home will bother me. He is only moving back into his house in Biloxi, but I feel like my home life will be missing someone, oh, and it will...my Pat.

My brother moved up to single A ball, but the season is over and now he will return home, to where he belongs.

This will only mean something to me, but I received an unexpected but much needed phone call from a man who means so much to me. Jimmy gave me some great advice and it came at a time when I needed it most. He just happened to think of me and decided to check up on me. I was glad to hear from him. He is unsure of when he will visit next. He says he needs the visit to me as much as I need it from him. He also wants to meet the cherry popper, or Keith, as everyone else knows him.

And on a romantic sweet note, last Sunday Keith and I had the most wonderful, simple date. We went to a movie then dinner came second. I cannot speak for him, but it was the most amazing time I have had lately. It was a perfect day with him. The weather was pretty and the company was even better. I love him and miss him.

There are many people missing from my life right now. I know it is ninety percent my fault, and I am sorry. To those of you feeling the emptiness too, I will see you soon.

I miss Keith. Only he will understand this and no, nothing is wrong. He knows what I mean. I miss him.
