math is going great.
i hafta wonder about the muslim girl.
i don't wanna say that she's stupid,...
she's just led a very sheltered life.
vista is okay.
some good,
some irritating.
but alright overall.
we got our glider outta the woods yesterday,
to revitalize it.
we saw one in Decatur at that antique shop selling for $750,
so we were like well damn.
i sanded it down yesterday to get the rust off,
and today,
we're painting it.
we couldn't find the retro teal color i wanted,
so it'll be navy-ish.
oh well.
life as a newly wed is wonderful!!
it feels SUPERBLY WONDEROUS to dance in the purple rays of the sun!!

so tomorrow shall prove an exhausting day.
we hafta fold a mountain of clothes,...
and i do mean a MOUNTAIN.
then, we'll clean the house to our satisfaction.
and sometime during the day,
my Pookie wants to get her hair cut,
although i dunno why cuz i think she is adorable just the way she is!!
cook supper,
watch grays anatomy,
shower,
and go to bed.
rise 'n shine & out the door at 6 a.m.
then,
its off to Georgia to become a Mrs.
how about that?
"the time has come, the walrus said..."
to jump on the back of the horse,
she's there to help me up,
its almost sunset.

its funny how a song on the radio can kidnap you and yank you back to an earlier time.
i found THE WILKINSONS songs on AOL Music.
i used to play them in the mornings on my way to school in my CD player in my car.
i thought i was hot to trot,
let me tell you.
LoL.
it was my "feel-good" CD.
my days began with an easy going smile.
then, i'd walk into school.
gosh, how i hated and loved that place.
i remember walking through the hallways,
dreaming of true love
and a life outside of Florence's choking boundries.
a life with my own identity,
not being known as "Missy's daughter."
i didn't know what was out there,
but i salivated at the very thought of a life i didn't yet have.
i didn't know how,
but somehow i was to be rescued by that knight in shining armour.
we'd run off into the sunset to happily ever after.
in retrospect,
oh i see so many things wrong with that dream.
i wish i'd been taught to not believe in fairytales.
but i guess i had to learn all on my own.
now that i am the woman about to make a committment to my wonderful partner,
i cannot help but to look back at my old selves.
the unhappy little girl scared of her friends,
so she became the neighborhood bully nobody picked on...
that little girl was so sad.
i haven't yet figured out why she was so damn sad.
she began to blossom with girl scouts,
but still she was forgotten by the two of whom she most wanted their attention and affection.
a bitchy, angst riddled teen emerged.
she sat at home on friday nights watching steve urkel,
and waiting impatiently for that call from CMA.
then on monday mornings,
she turned green with envy looking at the preps,
who had some sort of secret, preppy life.
she wanted that invite to dance with them.
to see what it'd be like.
but super nintendo summers at the lake,
a true disgust for one sibling,
total awe for the twins,
and upset tummies after weekends at her dad's....
that is what her life was like.
then came the magical series of events that would shape who became next...
senior spring break,
prom,
losing her virginity,
totaling her car,
being forced into a pint sized miserable dorm at a college she hated.
what self worth she had,
went circling down a dirty drain,
like the one in her dormroom.
FMU was her quintessential prison.
and her mama was the warden who had the key.
years of lonliness, heartache, self destruction, and hatred
followed her like a dark cloud above her head.
drugs, revenge, and rock bottom couldn't penetrate her stone cold heart.
a devestating mistake reverberated within her soul
and she swore to never lose the one she truly loved again.
then came a sky of beautiful purple,
with her lover standing strong beside her,...
the healing began.
now, i am getting married.
and that little girl,...
she's happy now.
that teenager,...
well, everyone is entitled to their "Vadar" side.
but she's not dark anymore.
the woman i am,
i am ecstatically content.
contentment.
maybe that's the real life fairytale?
i think so.
i've never been so sure of something in my life.

Libby found guilty for the CIA leak.
Libby, the fallout guy for Dick...
Dick with the blood clot &
Dick who survived an assination attempt (damnit).
The Attorney General has found that the FBI used the Patriot Act illegally.
Meanwhile, Baby Bush attempts to assert his "Fatherly" presense,
to blindly lead us in to another war.
He fooled us the first time,
but alas,
America, like Rip van Wrinkle, is slowly waking.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall...
On the personal side,
an 'A' on a math test I did not expect,
a new PC is fast on its way,
exactly one week until our big day,
and happy birthday to margaret & mawmaw!!
15 & 78.
WoW.

16 days left...
we go to florence tomorrow.
saturday we head to myrtle beach for shopping.
get to see everybody.
and i gotta find
something old
something new
something borrowed
and something blue.
only a phone call stands between my moving on.
the cloud is lifting.
rays of purple are streaming through.
elisabeth is "ignorant."
how fucking GREAT is that?!
lmfao!!
anna nicole gets laid to rest tomorrow.
even that will be a media circus.
this story,
though beautifully tragic,
is dominating the news.
our government has executed GAG ORDERS
to prevent the TRUTH from being told to Americans.
our government is full of war criminals.
bush, cheney, & rumsfield are murderers.
they are calling for a surge of troops for iraq,
and possibly iran (bc gosh knows, we need another war).
this is a distraction, people!!
bin laden and al quieda are REBUILDING.
they are QUIETLY REBUILDING.
how many more American murders will it take to impeach bush?
after the next next al quieda attack,
and there will be one
bc the bush administration is trying to blind the American public to this,...
when it happens,
we NEED to FULLY PROSECUTE BUSH & CHENEY for war crimes & hang him.
we can throw them on top of sadam's grave & piss on them.
everything this country fought for --
its all gone.
we now live in a censored country,
who's president believes gay Americans are 2nd class citizens,
& to further prove his moronic theory,
he wants to CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION to DENY us the RIGHTS OF EVERY AMERICAN.
this SAME president
signed into law the patriot act,
which takes away our right to privacy.
no longer am i proud to be an american,
bc bush does NOT represent me.
its funny how the dixie chicks once condemned him,
now have 5 grammys.
maybe there is hope.
if not,...
welcome to the demise of this country.
