our new kitty, ghost :)

hey,hi,hello :) i havn’t wrote anything in like 2ish weeks. i’ve been really busy. as far as the red cross goes, we started CERT classes (community emergency response team) and i also had a meeting with the general manager at the verizon wireless music center. it went great. not gonna say anything else about that right now. the red cross has been pretty busy in the last 2 weeks. we had a new community service worker come in, turns out i know her. i went to school with her in fayette. she’s been helping me with our fundraiser and that kinda stuff. its been pretty cool hanging out with her. i started talking to ryan again. didn’t see that coming. i saw him today which was great. is it bad to say i’ve missed him? well i have. we aren’t back together….but we are not just friends. we have an odd thing going on. you would think we are dating by the way we talk to each other but we are not “officially” yet. odd i know. he wrote this new song that’s great :) we got a new kitty wednesday. shes so pretty!!! shes also very mean. i swear i think she is PMSing 24/7. halloween was great. mom & i took lexi trick-or-treating. she hit the mother load! after we got home from taking her, i went to a halloween party at a friend of mine’s house. it was fun. halloween was when i first saw ryan again. i don’t know what to say about the whole me and ryan thing any more than i already have. so i’ve been working on a website for my record label. it should be finished soon. i’m so excited. so anyways, i’m really tired so i’m gonna stop writing for now. write more later :D

Cheston Lane :) 8lbs 4oz…20in Long!!!

They are already raising him right! War Eagle!

こんにちは :) hope everyone is doing ok. i’m doing pretty dang good! i went to see linny and the baby wednesday. he is sooooo adorable!!! he’s got some cute chubby cheeks :) when i got there the lady was in taking his pictures for the hospital. they had him in his auburn onesie which was adorable. i got some cute pictures of him while i was there too. i was gonna take some pictures over the ladies shoulder while she had him posed and stuff but i didn’t wanna mess up the ones she was taking. i spent the rest of wednesday at the red cross. we didn’t get back home until like 7:30. i was freaking tired. yesterday, i stayed home and slept most of the day. it was freaking cold which made my joints hurt because of my EDS. when i woke up i ate lunch (PB&J) it was yummy! by the time i got finished eating it was time to get lexi off the bus (yeah i slept that long). she got a happy face so when she got home we played a couple of games of candy land. fuuun right? the rest of the night went by pretty fast. nothing really interesting. today, i stayed home again. once again it was cold so i was hurting. i took pain medicine like i did yesterday but today i couldn’t go back to sleep. i wanted to but i just couldn’t. i watched tv and played around online for most of the day. i talked to ariel for a while and texted ryan like twice (i asked if he wanted his tie back). i was trying to avoid making any more of a conversation than i had to. now lexi is home and dad is taking a nap. lexi got off the bus with blue lipstick around her lips (not on them) and she was like, arn’t my lips pretty?!?! what do you say to that? after mom got off work she said she would run to coaling to the recording studio to get a disk with the pics from when we were in the studio. as soon as she gets home its supper and then spending some time with the family. lexi and i were gonna go see granny and papa for the weekend but they didn’t feel like coming so now we are home for the weekend. well i’m gonna go. goodbye :)

oh & i came up with a nickname for my goddaughter, gloria……bugga :) like the bugga bugga babies from dora (yes i totally watch that show, thanks lexi *sarcasm intended*)

hola :) it seems like forever since i’ve wrote anything even though it hasn’t been that long. i’m not gonna go into alot of details about my week because it was fun but boring. i went to my grandparents house last sunday and came back yesterday. we came back friday for a little bit to get my little sister but then we went right back. sunday, when we got to jasper i hung out with richie for a little bit :) monday & tuesday, i spent most of the day in birmingham at trinity medical center. my grandpa had to get some tests done. it was pretty boring. tuesday night, i hung out with a friend of mine, james. it was fun. wednesday, i stayed with my mawmaw for the night. thursday, we stayed home all day. friday, we came back to moundville for a while to get lexi and watch the homecoming parade. saturday, we took lexi & her friend hannah to the zoo in birmingham. that was pretty hectic. sunday, we came home. i was pretty happy to get home because i was getting homesick. so yeah, thats pretty much what happened in the last week. yesterday (monday), mom & i took lexi to the doctor where they diagnosed her with adhd to go with her autism. we pretty much knew thats what they were going to say. last night mom, dad, lexi, and i watched a marathon of gene simmons family jewels that ended with the first of 2 episodes that features gene and shannon’s wedding. the part with the actual wedding comes on tonight. lexi fell asleep on the couch at around 8:30 and we moved her into my room. at around 10 ariel’s husband, jeremy, brought ariel over and she stayed the night with me. we stayed up pretty late getting caught up on everything thats been going on since i havn’t seen her in about 2 weeks. this morning, we all woke up and got lexi ready for school. mom and ariel left as i was putting lexi on the bus. i went back to bed and woke up at around 10:30. i’ve spent the day talking to linny. she isn’t biologically my sister but she might as well be. she has been around since i was a baby and shes like a big sis to me. she got induced to have my 2nd nephew this morning at 5 am so i’ve been talking to her to get updates. she still hasn’t had him but hopefully she will soon. she has a daughter named lacey thats 5 and a son, teagan, that will be 2 in february. mom and i showed up at the hospital about 10 minutes before teagan was born so we got to see him be born. this time, we havn’t had a chance to get to the hospital yet. we will probably go up there later on tonight or in the morning. i can’t wait to see him. they are going to name him cheston :) cute right? i’m so excited. well other than that i’ve spent today on the computer and watching tv. oh and i did some laundry. oh and i’ve been trying to pick out a nickname for ari’s baby (my goddaughter) even though she hasn’t been born yet :P well i’m gonna go for now but i’ll probably write more tomorrow. toodles :)

Pics from Thursday :) Me with the Syn Gates Custom, Richie :), & Heath playing the Syn Gates Custom!

hi :) i hope everyone’s doing ok. i’m oddly doing pretty good. ryan & i broke up a few days ago. i’m actually happy. ok, as for what all happened this week…. wednesday, we went to the red cross for a little bit and then we went to the VA. i got my tb skin test read which was simple, all they did was look at it for like 2 seconds and then they told me i’m fine. i went to see mr.randy who has been helping me get everything situated so that i could volunteer. we talked about music for like 2 hours. it was fun :) after that i went and hung out with my marine friend and my army friend for a few hours. my army friend is becoming like a big brother to me. wednesday night i spent alot of time on my computer listening to music. i put lexi to bed at around 8:30 and then mawmaw went to bed with her. thursday, we went to the red cross again for a little bit. oscar was there which was cool. oscar used to be the executive director at the west alabama chapter but now he works for the regional office in hoover. i made some copies of the capgun suicide demo while we were there since i had nothing else to do. i did my makeup and then we left to go to the VA. when we got to the VA we signed into the volunteer lounge and then we made our way to the other building where we volunteer. as soon as we left the volunteer lounge the fire alarm started going off saying that there was a fire in the building that we were in. we had to evacuate the building with the rest of the people but instead of waiting outside we took a detour to get to the building where we volunteer. when we got over there and got all of our stuff situated i went to my army friends room and talked to him & jammed for a while. he was listening to alice in chains which was awesome. a little while later i left his room and went to get something to eat with mom. we both had 2 grilled cheese and french fries. i didn’t eat all of mine so i took it with me. when we left from eating i went to meet heath, richie, & trent from capgun suicide so that i could show them where the VA was. we went inside and they did a short acoustic set for the guys at the VA. they did an amazing job! richie didn’t bring his drum set so he used a trash can. he did great lol. after they got done playing they went outside to smoke and then came back in and mom and i played uno with our marine friend while the guys played around on the guitar which our marine friend loved :) we set up another time for them to go play another show and we went to check out where they would be doing it and then we went outside so that they could smoke again. we went back inside for a few minutes and left shortly after that. me, mom, richie, heath, and trent went to best buy and played around in the musical insturments department. we had a blast. richie and trent played a bass & heath played the schecter syn gates custom and the schecter hellraiser. it was amazing. while mom, heath, & trent were playing in the guitar room, me and richie walked around best buy. i think i had the most fun while we were walking. we had a great conversation. i think i really like richie. me and mom left after a little while of hangin out. i texted richie most of the way home and until they left heading back to jasper. granny and papa had came to get mawmaw and lexi while we were gone. when we got home i got a shower and when i got out me & mom & dad watched 13 ghosts. it was a blast. when 13 ghosts went off i went to bed. friday, i slept until around noon & spent the rest of the day watching tv and online. when mom & lance woke up from their naps i asked if ariel could come over and they said that she could so her husband jeremy brought her over. while we were waiting on her to get here we jammed to some old school music. it all started with the safety dance. when ariel got here we talked and hung out until about midnight and then she went to sleep. i stayed up a little longer talking to richie and then i went to sleep as well. we woke up at around 8 and ariel left pretty soon their after. her mom came to pick her up. TODAY IS HER 20TH BIRTHDAY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISZER! mom & i went back to bed and since ive been awake ive been watching tv. now mom is asleep, dad is taking a nap, and i’m watching step brothers. its funny :) Soooo i think this entry is too long but it will be ok. but anyways, bye for now!!!

hi :) sooo i havn’t wrote anything since last thursday. My great grandmother came down saturday and she will be here until this friday so i have been entertaining her and havn’t had time to write. saturday, i spent all day cleaning my room that way i could get it done before my mawmaw got here. i was almost done when they showed up. i don’t think i’ve ever cleaned so fast in my life! about 5 minutes after she got here my mom got put on standby for the red cross to go on a fire call so my dad and i ended up entertaining my grandmother while my mom went on the call. that was interesting. how do you entertain an 83 year old? when mom got home we all got showers and went to bed. sunday morning mom, mawmaw, lexi, and i went to church because mawmaw asked if we could. as soon as church was over we came back home and waited on dad to get off work. when he got off work we went to a chinese restaurant. it was really good. i tried some crab which was decent and i ate the normal chinese food (sesame chicken, noodles, sweet & sour chicken, a chinese donut, and an egg roll). it was yummy :) we stopped at publix on the way home and got some groceries. when we got home we watched tv until time for bed. yesterday was FUN! we went to the red cross for a few minutes so that mom could turn in her paperwork for the fire. when we left the red cross we went to burger king to get something to eat. we sat down and ate and at then went to the VA. i love going to the VA. i got a tb skin test done (i have to go back tomorrow to get it read) and i got my id badge made then i went upstairs to meet mom and play uno with my marine friend. my army friend was asleep when we got there and didn’t wake up until it was almost time for us to leave. mom got to talk to him for a few minutes when she went outside to smoke but i didn’t get to. i was a little upset. thankfully, while we were on our way out mom stopped and told me to look right outside the door and there he was. my mood completely changed. he came inside and we all talked for a few minutes. he has 2 bracelets that he wears all the time and one of them broke so he gave it to mom and she is gonna fix it for him. since we were on our way out he didn’t get a chance to restring my guitar. maybe he can tomorrow. he gave me a hug and we left. when we got home it smelled AMAZING! mom had a roast cooking and it smelled great. lexi was being a brat as always. we ate and watched tv until time to give lexi a shower and put her to bed. soon after lexi went to bed mawmaw joined her then dad went to bed pretty soon after that. me and mom stayed up to watch fast and furious and then mom went to bed and so did i. today we got lexi ready for school which was a fight, today is school picture day. soon after lexi left i went back to bed. mom left while i was asleep and mawmaw went and layed down on moms bed. i woke back up at around 10:15 and mawmaw was still asleep. i watched tv for a while and then mawmaw woke up around 12:30ish. we have spent all of the time since then watching court shows. right now she is in the shower so i’m watching gene simmons family jewels. she will be out soon. lexi will be home in about an hour so then the silence will end. after that i don’t know what will happen. tomorrow we are going back to the VA to get my skin test read and then we will go play uno and talk to the guys and then thursday, heath, richie, trent, & brandon from capgun suicide will be going to the VA with us to hang out with the guys and they might play an acoustic set for them. fun right? well mawmaw is out of the shower so i’m gonna go for now. i’ll write more hopefully tomorrow :) 

My Gibson Maestro 6-String Acoustic :) This is when I first got it!!!!

hilo folks. i was busy and extremely tired yesterday so i didn’t write anything. mom and i went to the red cross and the va yesterday. the red cross was the same as usual, boring. i typed certification cards for an upcoming class but i messed up 2 pages of them so mom took over and did them. at around 12:15 we went over to the training center in the mall. mom taught an adult cpr/aed review class. the class was over at about 1:45 and me and mom had to wait on a volunteer to get to the training center because we can’t leave it unattended. the volunteer didn’t show up so at around 2:20 we closed the training center & went to movie stop to get “the fast & the furious” and “2 fast 2 furious” so that we could have movie night with the guys at the va. we have decided to do a fast and the furious movie each week until the new one come out and then we are gonna get that one and take it up there to watch it. i’m so excited :) at the va, i feel so appreciated & loved. once we got to the va we played uno with our friend thats a marine until time for the guys to eat. they ate and then we turned on the movie. we played uno while the movie was on so our attention was torn between the uno game and the tv. i got my butt beat in uno. i didn’t play as well as i normally do. i have another friend there thats in the army. he’s totally awesome. i havn’t wrote about him before. anyway’s i spent all night looking in his room to see if he was there but he was outside most of the time we were there. when it was time for us to leave, mom went outside to smoke (its a 20 minute walk from where we volunteer to the car) & my friend was there with a few of his friends that are also in the army. he asked if he could play my guitar (i took my guitar up there) and of course i told him he could. i never let anyone play my guitar other than my mom. anyways, my guitar was out of tune so he was tuning it so that he could play it and he popped the bottom string. it cut his finger when it popped and he handed me the string and said “here’s your guitar string, it has my blood on it, but here’s your string”. i laughed so hard while talking to those guys. we were talking about making a tattoo machine out of my guitar string which ended up turning it to a show and tell of our tattoos. they asked me the meaning to mine and i told them and they thought it was awesome. we talked a little more, one of them gave me a cookie, and then we had to leave. we finally got home at around 8:30 and i put lexi to bed as soon as we got home. me & mom ate some popcorn chicken and curly fries and then i took some lyrica and a muscle relaxer. the weather change has been making my joints hurt worse so i thought maybe a muscle relaxer would help. i went to bed pretty soon after i took the meds. i slept like a baby :) i went back to sleep as soon as lexi left for school. after i woke up i got some food and i’ve spent the rest of the day on the computer and watching tv. i dont think we have any plans for tonight. just gonna stay home and spend some family time together. tomorrow we are going back to the va. hopefully i’ll get to spend some more time with my army friends :) goodbye for now people. OH and by the way, i’ve talked to heath & richie from capgun suicide (who were both in the army) and they are gonna come hang out at the va next thursday. the guys at the va are SOOOOO excited. the newspaper is gonna be there which will be very cool. so anyways…..bye :)
