Here...
I'm posting just to be posting. Not happy with self. Not in a good space at the moment. Not much to tell. I'll tell more about Vegas later. It was awesome, but now is not a good time to talk about anything. Just wanted whoever is out there that reads this to know that I didn't fergit that I have this thing. I'm just not as motivated to post that much. Crappy weekend. Crappy day. Can't wait to get back on those meds. Hate the idea of meds but they sure do even things out sometimes. Dealing with life is crap right now.
Later.
Later.

WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, wha-had-happened-wuz........................
We went out for fast food, like any other tummy-grumble moment before work at the bar. We were offered some postcards to fill out for a free trip, we filled them out like we fill out TONS of those little cards each month, ate our food and went on with our night.
Well, about 3-4 weeks later, MJ got a phone call from a lady claiming she was from Z107.7/Clear Channel Entertainment, "claiming" that we had won a trip to Vegas. MJ cleared the crumbs from her eyes (and ears) and simply said, "huh??" The lady then proceeded to ask MJ if she remembered filling out a card for the trip, to which MJ replied, "uh, yeah??" The lady confidently replied, "Well, YOU WON!" ...*silence*... MJ: "Excuse me??" This conversation went on, so I'm told, for a few minutes until MJ was sure the lady was telling the truth. She then called me to fill me in, and she must have forgotten to ask me to sit down, because my knees buckled and I started squealing like a straight girl. "What?? HUH?? FOR REAL???" Then of course, I did the happy-yay-we're-goin-to-Vegas dance.
Wow, it's still hard to believe we're really going, and it's a little surreal, which I'm sure will break when we land and see our first slot machine in the airport! Jeez, in the AIRPORT?! Crazy. Anyway, we're "planning" to do stuff like go to the Mirage and see the white tiger habitat, garden, aquarium, and dolphin habitat, and we want to ride crazy insane roller coasters at CircusCircus, The Stratosphere, and one of those other casinos with rides... Hey, you never know-- our entire vacation very well could be spent between the room, casino, buffet, and the POOL. Who needs the strip, when we can strip our tight clothes off our buffet-filled bellies, squeeze into our swimming suits that used to fit when we got there, only to STRIP them off and go to sleep? Hey, sounds like a plan.... (hee hee) MJ really wants to see the tiggers, I really want to see the dolphins (and the tiggers) and we REALLY want to visit Slots-O-Fun!!! I heard they have HELLA penny slots!! Yay! Oh, and of COURSE we have to go to Coyote Ugly. *giggle* Rowr!! ;)
So, that's what I have to make up for all the time I haven't made an entry. See, this way, I HAVE to tell all about my trip! Along with pictures, of course.
Peace,
Nia

The Great [Intentional] Escape - Part I
THE GREAT [INTENTIONAL] ESCAPE – Part 1
MJ and I left the city around 1:00PM, picking up homemade sourdough bread from Grandma along the way. You can never stay at Grandma’s less than 30-60 minutes, so we had a seat and looked through a Goodwill box that Grandma had prepared. She had to make sure there was nothing sent away that we would have wanted, so we fumbled through the treasure and picked a few items: A gorgeous white lace shawl, a purple/white doily, a small cedar keepsake box, and a red Asian-patterned shawl that could be used to cover a small end table or some other decorative purpose.
To my delight, Grandma’s cat, Sunny, who is usually hidden and is not very approachable, sauntered into the entrance to the living room to rub her chin on the doorframe. She looked directly at me as I used my cartoonish little cat voice to greet her. Sunny walked DIRECTLY over to me!! She rubbed her chin on my hand and purred and let out short, happy mews. I was beside myself!! :)
We visited Grandma a few more minutes, and we also greeted Grandpa, who was in the kitchen, griping sweetly about Grandma’s potato-cakes-gone-wrong. He said he saw how much work she put into them, but they just didn’t quite happen. It was so cute. We said bye to both of them and we were on our way.
We fueled up, and got ON THE ROAD!!!
Heading out Hwy. 44 West, we anxiously awaited the PLBP – the Point of Lower Blood Pressure. It usually occurs just past Hwy. 109, or just past Six Flags, after we ooh and aahh at the rides that we love. From then on, it’s 70 MPH, trees and rolling hills, and a few ornery semi drivers. We then pass St. Clair; totally forget to read the signs after that, until we reach Stanton, and the exit for Meramec Caverns. We hang a left, and then try to settle the butterflies in our bellies, since we know what lies at the peak of the next small hill…
THE EXOTIC ANIMAL AND REPTILE RANCH!!!!!!!!
Whooooooo!!! It has to be one of the best-kept secrets! We found our guide, Steve, paid the nominal fees, and hiked off to visit the alligators. They were beautiful, looking almost like gray stone statues basking in the sun. They didn’t even move a muscle aside from a half-open curious eye just to see what we were doing. We then passed chickens, pygmy goats, and tortoises on the right, then we looked to the left and all time stood still. Walking down the hill in a large enclosure was a picture of beauty unlike most: The lovely Jasmine, a 2 year old, 300-400 pound Bengal tiger. In the background, basking on his rock, lay the regal Jafar-- all 2 years and 500 pounds of him. WOW. We watched the trainer pull a milk jug on a string in front of Jasmine and she jumped and rolled like a giant house cat. Jafar got up to join the fun and decided he wanted to keep the milk jug. Needless to say, that was the end of playtime. Just like a big baby-kitty…
The next few enclosures and cages housed woodchucks, opossums, Arctic foxes, turkeys, and emus. One of the emus is particularly affectionate, so we had to, pause, give her some scratches and lovins, and take a picture. We then stopped to rub the belly on a dog, gaze at a gorgeous silver rabbit, and laugh again at the tiggers goofing off with the trainers.
The next large enclosure holds the majestic KING OF THE… well, it used to be the couch in the owner’s living room… now it’s more like the outside kitty playpen. Leo is a 6 year old, 900+ pound LION, who’s pretty sure he’s an 8 pound faded red tabby. I met Leo about 3 years ago when I started visiting the ranch. I was able to pet him, hear him purr up close, play with him up against the fence, and just relish the time that I was so honored to spend with this incredible beast. Leo was a rescued baby, raised by the owners of the ranch, so they fed him with a bottle and let him sleep in the bed. He grew up with all the dogs and cats of the household, hence his playful, oblivious nature. He rose from his lazy position to his curious, bright-eyed, greeting posture, and rubbed his chin back and forth against the fence. (I’m tellin’ ya: Overgrown housecat) Steve was cool enough to let us sneak through the outer fence so we could touch him again, since USDA will no longer allow the contact with the public. But hey, I’m an old friend, right? I’m beyond the public! :)
After watching Leo have a goofy moment, sticking only his right rear leg into his tire swing and standing there, as if to say, “Look at me! I can stick only my right rear leg into my tire swing! Sweet!” we then ventured to my second-favorite part of the facility: THE REPTILE WING!! I don’t know what it is about those scaly, cold-blooded, slinky creatures, but they intrigue me like the dickens! We met up with reptile-dude Todd, and he took us through. They had three alligator snapping turtles, and one of them is estimated to be 150-200 years old!! They call him Ivan, since he was acquired during the hurricane, and a lady was feeding him carrots (using a VERY long pair of forceps). To our surprise, Ivan was sooo gentle!! Then again, I guess I would move pretty slowly at 200 years old, too.
We also watched Todd wrassle a Western Diamondback Rattler, who was a little pissy when he removed the lid to the plastic container. But they successfully moved the snake to his habitat, and of course he rattled like crazy for about 5 minutes until he settled down into his house. We then took pictures with a baby alligator, young Burmese python (maybe 6 feet long), and a white corn snake. Of course we had to ogle at the gorgeous (yet small) male green iguana in his habitat. We made a point to notice that our baby’s spikes are bigger, her body/tail are longer, she’s greener, and so on. We aren’t in love with our iguana or anything…
So, that was it for the Reptile Ranch, and we headed off to the farm, re-capping our exotic critter experiences as we drove.

Yeah, yeah.... here's a new post.....
Well, this is going to be kind of short, because I have had a lot going on, and I haven't yet figured out a way to share it. So, basically, there's the good and the bad....
YUCK: I put myself into AA, because my drinking binges have gotten out of hand.
YAY: I am at the top of a list for a new job with the city.
YUCK: I got depressed today and would love some form of escape-- in bottle form.
YAY: I'm currently taking part in an online AA meeting (as in, at the same time I'm posting this).
--Okay, that takes too much time to type...... like this guy in AA is doing. I'm on here because some of these folks take soooo long to type. I know not everyone can have lightening fingers like me, but come ON! (jk)
These meetings are in no way a replacement for face-to-face meetings, but when one has transportation issues such as I, what is one to do?
*sigh*
Couple of things before I go:
BIG HUGS TO CHASMYN, WITH HER NEW BUN IN THE OVEN!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!
This is by far the COOLEST quote I have heard in a long time:
Veni, vidi, velcro...... I came, I saw, I stuck around.
I'm going to live by that for a while.
Peace,
~Nia

Whatup, dawg? It's just aiit fo' me, dawg...
Lalalalalalalalalala...............
*sigh* Hey, at least I'm consistent with blogging every OTHER month or so...
Aiit, here I am again, dawg... Yes, I've been watching American Idol and my top 3 picks are Carrie, Bo, and Anwar. (if anyone cares)
Anyhoo, hur's the update: I may get a job with the city as an animal control officer. I have to take another test. When I had my interview, they said, "Um, are you applying for the supervisor position??" and I was like, "Um, no", so they were like, "[Dude, like] Why not?", and I was like, "I dunno" and they were like, "[Dude] You should" so I was like, "DUUUDE."
Gotta love that. I was really flattered when they were surprised that I was going for Officer I instead of supervisor. It's just that I don't have that almighty degree, that's all. But Vet-Tech is a 2 year program, so if I get into the Officer I position and they offer tuition reimbursement, we'll talk.
What else........ oh yeah, MJ and I had our FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!! HOLLA!!!! It was sweet. We went out for a relaxed evening and watched a drag show, cooked dinner for each other, and then cooked dessert for each other (hehe). The year went by SO FAST! It's crazy. Everyone around us can't believe a year has gone by since MJ and I got back in touch and got together. It flew by for us too. No matter. It's ALL good!! :D We're ready for the next ones. And if there's another commitment ceremony at PRIDE this year, we'll renew!
-- MOVIE REVIEWS --
Okay, so you know I have to give my 3 cents on the latest thrillers:
The Grudge - Duuuuuuuuuuude!!! Freaky deaky. I sooooo love it when the Japanese do horror flicks. It's the awesome, weird, psychological, unrealistic, imaginative, junk I THRIVE on. Up there with The Ring, but that one's hard to beat. I'll tell you one thing, if any one of my friends calls me up and makes that noise in the phone, I better be wearing Depends.
SAW - Okay, this one deserves a WHOOOOOOOOOAAAA Duuuuuuuuuude!! A good ole' mystery/horror/thriller up there with SEVEN. This is one of those that if you haven't seen it, put your hands over your ears if people are talking about it, because the ending NEEDS to remain a surprise. YOU'LL need Depends for that one!! LOL Awesome flick.
Taking Lives - Ohhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeah, nuthin' like a little Angeliiiiiiiina! Rowrrr!! Lookin' all hot and fine with--- oh, and the story was good too.... (heehee) Another one that was so confusing and surprising, that even my WIFE didn't see the ending coming! I consider that an accomplishment, since she doesn't miss a beat. :)
-- MOVIES I NEED TO SEE --
Hide and Seek (DVD)
The Pacifier (VIN -- need I say more?)
XXX with Ice Cube
THE RING 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm slightly enthused)
Star Wars, Episode III (um, DUH!!!)
Okay, I'm sure there are other goodies out there or are on the way, but I'm sleepy so I'm out for now.

Holiday Recap
Okay, so I haven’t exactly been blogging…. Chasmyn will get me for that, I already know. Let’s see… what’s been going on since December? Um, I got neato things for Christmahanukwanzaayule this year, like a remote control Hummer, a pretty necklace, lots of food, and a ride through the Winter Wonderland by horse carriage. It was wonderful, even though I had to endure a few Scrooges along the way.
Then came New Year…
Well, I went to a holiday party on the 28th, and had a fabulous time. Okay, maybe I overindulged just a WEE bit, but who doesn’t? In the morning, I actually felt fine, most likely because I “got rid” of everything the night before. I got up to pee, and when I stood up, I got a head rush and felt all spinny. That’s the last thing I remember. Then I was on the floor in a pool of yuck and I though I saw blood. That’s when I went into hysterics thinking I was puking blood. I yelled for MJ, who turned on the light to see that I had successfully ripped my forehead and cheek to shreds on the way down to the floor. Apparently, I fainted upon getting up too fast, and totally racked my head on the way down.
ANYWAY, she took me to the ER, where they did a CT-scan (all negative, believe it or not—I know! I was surprised too!!), took blood (I was still over the legal limit—yikes) and stitched me up. This was the first time I have ever had stitches, and I was happy to get one of the best plastic surgeons in the hospital. He sutured me up painlessly, thank goodness. He was even gentle with the anesthetic. I got 5 dissolving sutures in the muscles on my cheekbone, then 5 more in the skin on top, and then I got 4 in my forehead. I really screwed myself up pretty well this time. It was better than the time I fell out the car! (yeah, I know)
So that was the most exciting thing I had happen to me over the holidays. I then looked like a prizefighter for about a month, and now everything is back to normal. –then again… what’s normal again?? Hmm……. ;-)

What exactly IS cud?? Ponder.
Yeah, okay, so it's been like 1 and 1/2 months since I updated. Well, I still felt like poo. There ya go. However, besides my wife helping make my life liveable, I have a re-surfaced interest that has me smiling for a change. I have an odd fancy for the clumsy, cud-chewing critters called COWS. I also found an awesome website on them that ....well, I'm just going to share whether you like it or not. .....rasberries..... :)
www.crazyforcows.com
YAY COWS!!!
(Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm simple)
