How are you doing? Did you get accepted into college? The other day, I was driving down the interstate to college and Motley Crue's, "Kickstart My Heart", came on followed by Ride the Lightening by Metallica and I am glad the state troopers weren't around...

LOL yup I figured you out, pretty scary huh?

I love going to Toys 'R Us, and especially with finally being able to let My little side out (I have both a big and little side to Me) I'm looking forward to having more of My own playtime as I am also a big kid at heart and that won't ever change. My sister's birthday is coming up in November and she will be 13 but because of her autism she is still very much a big kid and you can't help but be a kid yourself around her. I plan on going to Toys 'r Us to get her birthday present, and I may even indulge My little boy and get him a couple of hot wheels cars or some lego (yay)

I did get accepted into college, however I got put on the waitlist and from what I can tell I won't get a spot this year so I've been putting out resumes in hopes of finding a job ~ I'll work until next year, and then hopefully be able to get approved for funding again and just take a course next fall. Because of My gallbladder surgery this year, I registered for college too late and was unable to secure a seat early. Oh well, atleast if I can find a job I can work for now and see where next year leads Me. Also, I went to get My blood work done on friday and will get a physical done this coming friday ~ and if all goes well, I could be starting testosterone this week so I'm nervous yet excited about this new start ............. I'm finally getting to where I want to be in life, and while its scary its also what I've been waiting so long for

Have a good day hun and hopefully you'll find your brain (guess its taken a hiatus for awhile)

Oh and just to let you know, I go by Matthew now and thats the name I'll be legally becoming when I can afford to change My name ~ no worries, I know alot of people still find it weird to not call Me Braedon

((((Matthew))),

Congrats on getting accepted into college! Waiting is a hard thing to do, but you will get the funding to attend. I had a blast when my 10 year old niece was down for the summer. When I took her to the Hello Kitty store in Orlando, I almost bought myself a Hello Kitty iPhone case, but decided against it. I did treat myself to a Starbucks frappuccino, even though I am not supposed to have one on this diet. I was the same way when I came out as being gay, I was scared of the fact that I could lose my whole family<I am the only gay person in my family> and was happy when my mom started supporting me.

Happy birthday early to your little sister! No GI Joe's or Transformers to go with your Hot Wheel cars?

Hugs my friend and my brain is still MIA, hehe..

Good night Everyone!

Sleep well and to all who don't feel to hot, get to feeling better soon.

I am off to La La Land and finish studying for my midterm tomorrow.

Good evening everyone

Setting down a fresh pot of coffee, a bottle of Baileys and a big bowl of homemade whipped cream...right next to a tray of homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Sorry I've been gone so much friends...things have been both busy and rocky around here. Some of the "blending families" stuff, stress from the house thing (I lost my mind and sent a super bitchy email after midnight....makes me feel crappy but it got them moving at last), and all of us except the Rooster sick with sore throats, draining sinues, coughs, headaches...and for me the special treat of fluid in my ears so I can barely hear. Joy.

Just one of those tough times when I feel surrounded by incompetence and nonsense. The good news...now that we have a bank approved contract we're probably 30 days or less from closing. Now all we have to do is get everyone healthy again, and survive the next month playing "sardines"

I'm off to make dinner in real life....and I'll be back on if the Rooster lets me have some computer time (he's doing homework right now). OH...and Scoote will be re-computered shortly....hers was still under warranty and a replacement should be on the way.

Hugs to all.

[scootebaby]

heeeeeeeeeeeeey kitcheneers....i snagged Jo puter for the day---well she allowed me to bring it to work-so thought i'd pop in and touch base.

Matthew...the dog had issues BEFORE he got to me..i'm just trying to get him right is all....and dont believe that nonsense about loving him-or any of the other animals-up...when they arent looking im pulling tails,soccer kicking them and generally being a mean ass to them---bc i AM mean like that! lol

i am feeling a lot better--not 100% but back at work..and between work and being sick and driving my sweetie completely over the edge of sanity i havent had much time to get online--well plus Rooster is a puter hog.

Welcome Joanie....please jump in and dont be scared--we are harmless--mostly.....might wanna watch out for the she is a lil hyped up on chocolate and REALLY cant drive well

where is Jake and MS? havent seen them around....hope all is well with them...and all of you actually


and honey....thank you for loving me and putting up with my cranky,mean ass!

Hi scoote... glad to see you are feeling better.. I know the flu bug is going around at work.. and given work is like "big brother" when it comes to taking time off.. everyone is coming in not feeling well.. and just spreading germs everywhere.. *knock on wood*.. I have not gotten it yet.. although My immune system usually rocks when it comes to that stuff.. thanks to My BFF getting Me to take echinacea and Ester-C every day.

Glad to see you and Jo finally got the house thing squared away.. although I saw that Jo had to "get on her broom".. it does not surprise Me though.. once you threaten to take your business elsewhere that usually gets people to sit up and notice, sad to say.

I sent a PM to you and Jo in regards to My girl..

Thank you for thinking of us both and wondering where W/we were.

Hi everyone,

Just a snippet for everyone here.. My girl had emergency surgery yesterday.. She is doing well and was up and about today... they expect her to go home by the end of the week. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

So life has been busy with work.. making Myself available as much as I can to My girl while she has been ill... making plans to go there and help her once she is home from the hospital..

Life just has a way .. of turning on a dime that is for sure.

Here is some and .. to help everyone get through their day.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, Joanie, rav, morningstar.. and anyone else I missed. I hope you are all having a good middle of the week.

[JustJo]

Good morning all

Fresh pot of coffee is on, and putting out a healthy breakfast of granola and fruit for everyone. I had a Doctor appointment day before yesterday, and some reminders to get back on the program and mind my diet. Had an EKG and chest x-ray too (just checking since there's lots of heart problems in my family). All came back good though...so now it's just the bloodwork, pap and mammogram to go (ugh).

Sending big hugs to MStar and wishes for a speedy recovery. I know Jake is taking good care of you though my friend, and that's the most important thing.

I keep trying to be better about getting online, but feeling crappy (physically and emotionally) and it's hard to be inspired. Think more than anything I just need to close on this house and get moved....one more month (I hope).

Hugs to everyone. And I do love you baby , even though it's rough right now.

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Jake,

Hope Ms. MountainStar gets to feeling better and quickly! Give her a hug for me..

Hope she is doing better tonight!!!
