This weekend :)

This weekend was fun ..... it was that good simple ice cream cone with sprinkles after a bad dinner ... Last week was the week from hell!! Had a lot on my mind and just took it out on the world ... ok ok ok one person and she knows who she is ... I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT!!

SAT 7:30pm DISNEY ON ICE :) Disney on ice was so amazing... I wish mom could have been there she would have loved the show. I was sad at the beginning, and at times I had to look away, but over all I did have a blast!! I think a lot of how I was feeling last week was about going to disney on ice without mom!! In the end I am glad I went and ALYSSA thanks for coming with me YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! They say the first of everything is hard the first year. Yeah the world is right because my emotions have been on a roller coaster ride the past few months. You know the more and more I think about it wow really the first year is almost over!! Sometimes you want time to fly right by, but then other times you just want it to takes its sweet little time. Either way if you really think about it time is time ... it does not speed up or slow down!! Ok Ok Ok enough of my useless thoughts!!
SUN MIAMI DOLPHINS FOOTBALL GAME:
Wow is all I have to say ... GO FINS!
The short version:
Michael has season tickets and could not find anyone to go with him so he asked me. Why no right I have no plans. Well the early morning 7am day started off nice. Yes 7am on a sunday because we tailgate with crazy people. On our way to the stadium it was a monsoon no lie we got more rain that day then we did during the hurricanes that have hit fla. The rain lasted from 7am till about noon 30. Yeah perfect timing for the game ... NOT !!! The sun came out and holly skata (shit) was it was it HOT!! Ok hot is not the word lets say AFRICA HOT!! Over all again it was fun and yes they won. They are lucky because I would have pitched a fit if they lost and I had to not only sit in the rain, get my hair wet, walk in the mud with flip flops on, and then sit in the hot sun baking like a cookie for 5 hrs.... O YEAH ARE THEY LUCKY!! I guess we can say I am a true DOL-FAN!!

MON:
Have not been feeling good.... just dont want to get out of bed!! I took Dakota to the vet and he got his stitches taken out ... poor thing ... his ear is still swollen and it still looks bad but they said he will be ok . I guess that is really all that maters!!

Dads hand is doing good so all is great so far!! Lets just see if these people pay for the damage they have done!! The court day is OCT 19 ugh happy b-day to me ... regardless you so know I am gonna be in that court room!!! I will keep you posted on how that goes!!

Till next time take care and keep reading!!

P.S>
COUNTDOWN BEGINS HALLOWEEN HORROR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HERE WE COME .... only all week to go ... TUES WED THRS FRI ...then.... SAT we are on the road to O-TOWN (orlando)!
WHOOHOOO I CANT WAIT!!
O NO this week is gonna go by so slow I can feel it!!

FEELING DOWN

SIMPLE PLAN COULD NOT HAVE SAID THIS ANY BETTER

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me ....

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

I DONT KNOW WHERE I'M GOING

*~*~*~*~* MY HEART IS LIKE AN OPEN HIGHWAY *~*~*~*~~*

This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It’s my lifeIt’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive (it’s my life)

My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive

My heart is like an open highway

DEDICATION TO C.GOMES

..........NEED I SAY MORE ........

This POST is dedicated to CHRIS GOMES who is being deployed today for IRAQ
Lets keep him in our prayers and thoughts

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonligh Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight. Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there. And even though I know how very far apart we are it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright starAnd when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.... Somewhere out there if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true And even though I know how very far apart we areIt helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out thereOut where dreams come true

Alyssa I am here for you so if you need anything just give me a call my line is always open!! For good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more :) THATS WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR!!

xoxo Chrissie

P.S> I'll be there for you :) These 5 words I swar to you !!!

WHY DAKOTA

DAKOTA's new nickname is LAMPSHADE :)

HE LOOKS SO SAD :(

I dont consider my self a bad person .. ok ok ok we all have our moments, angry, happy, sad, crazy, our experimental stages in life but over all I think I am a good person. So I have come to the conclusion that bad things happen to good people, so why the hell cant I be bad so good things will happen to me.

Anyway its only 10:38am and I have a feeling its gonna be a long ass day. I moved dakota's big bed downstairs OMG to carry an 82lbs dog up and down the stairs was gonna kill me at the age of 25 so after the 7th trip my lesson was learned I said NO MORE and took it all downstairs. Dakota is doing ok the lampshade still gets in the way and he is still acting really weird but then again what did you expect from something like this. I am home alone with Dakota right now and to tell you the truth I am scared. Wow for the first time in forever I am scared of my dog and the shit ass part is I know he can sense my fear. I know he is in pain and I keep trying to help but when I move him or even help him lay down he tends to show me his teeth. He is not at all an aggressive dog so I guess that is normal and he is just trying to tell me to "LEAVE HIM THE FUCK ALONE". I guess I am more frustrated in the fact that he cant talk and tell me whats wrong or what he need so in many ways I feel helpless. I laid down with him for a while a he finally fell asleep ahhhh he was out like a light then when I left the room he started to whine so I went back to lay with him again. I dont think he wants to be alone :( I dont blame him I would not want to be left along either!!

I cant help but wonder what if I lost my dog, what if the outcome was worst than it was with my dog and my dad. Wow is all I have to say about that and DAMN YOU "WHAT IF's" .... over all thankful it was what it was and nothing worst, but I dont know what I would have done if something worst happened to Dakota or my Dad.

I am out for now gonna try to catch some ZzzzZzzZZzz's I am so tired but I will keep ya posted

Dog Attack on Dakota & Dad

Just when you think your day your month or even your year cant get any worst ... HA HA HA HA someone finds a way to fuck all that up!!

At around 6:30pm Sept 14,2005 Dakota and Dad were attacked by a neighborhood dog. It started off as a regular night they both ate din din, and then it was time for Dakota's after din din walk. Yeah they both didn't get very far when this dog (pitbull) 3 houses away attacked dakota. Dad and 2 of the owners dog did what they could to get the other dog off Dakota but when those jaws lock that is it.

I get a phone call from my dumb ass brother and raced to the 24hr animal hospital. When I got there the dog only got a part of Dakota's face, neck but mostly his ear. They had to keep him for a few hrs to stitch it up and place a drain in it . Poor thing is right!! Now he has to walk around with this lampshade on his head. When I saw him come out of the back I was like O SHIT NO WAY hahaha no walks during the day for him for the next 7 days!! No lit its gonna be before the sun comes up and when it goes down!!

We also took hard headed dad to the hospital to get a shot ... OMG dont get me started on that. I tell you my dad can be stupid sometimes!!

Its 3:30am and we just picked him up from the ER vet. He is doing ok you can tell he is a little traumatized plus he hates this lampshade. I feel so sorry for him because he will bump into something and stop walking. I cant help but laugh at that but also feel bad at the same time.

I AM A MEAN DOG!!

The Court date for this shit is Oct 19th ... yeah my birthday happy birthday to me ... you so better believe I am so going to that.

I will keep you updated on how he is doing.

Dakota's Tail is between his legs

The lamp shade
He cant lay down with this shade on :(
His ear ..

it keeps touching the lampshade I bet it hurts like hell too

... POOR THING..

WHITE LIES

Click on link
>>>The White Lie Test <<<

Chrissie's Results of "The Test"
How many white lies do you tell?Your score = 35





What does your score mean?
You seem to believe in the virtue of honesty, but don't apply it blindly without consideration for the specifics of the situation. You level with others when it seems like the best thing to do, but also know when it's better to keep your mouth zipped. The truth, you know, can be cruel and sometimes it's simply kinder to tell a little fib. If you've ever seen the movie Liar Liar, you know what can happen if we share everything we think! Continue using your judgment, and make sure you soften the harsh truth when you do decide to deliver it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Its pretty ironic ... dont ya think hahaha did ya bust out sining ... you so know you did!!

So yeah I had to take this lie test and wow is all I have to say !! Anyway so yeah wow talk about a crazy over the top weekend. First off I have to say I hate to lie ... OMG why do people lie its just more shit they have to remember in the end!! Well we all know when you lie the truth will come out in the end .. that is what I have learned!!

Pretty Ironic how this weekend was a big fat lie and just the other day I was watching a morning show ... yeah yeah yeah I know I have no life hahaha but this one was interesting no lie all about lies and little white lies.

The Today Show
2:58 p.m. ET Sept. 9, 2005

Everybody lies. It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes.

We start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language. This first lying is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can manipulated in a child’s environment. Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want.

White lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all. The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem.
We often call these folks pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis). They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment. Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied.

A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law.
Lying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves.

We hold different people to different standards when it comes to telling the truth. We expect, for example, less honesty from politicians than from scientists. We have a vision of purity about those who are doing research, while we imagine that politicians will at least shade the truth about themselves in order to get elected.

Why do we dislike liars, especially sociopaths, so much? It’s a matter of trust. When a person lies, they have broken a bond – an unspoken agreement to treat others as we would like to be treated. Serious deception often makes it impossible for us to trust another person again.
Because the issue of trust is on the line, coming clean about the lie as soon as possible is the best way to mend fences. If the truth only comes out once it is forced, repair of trust is far less likely.
As a parent, the most important message you can send your children about lying is that you always — always — want them to come clean with you. No matter how big a whopper they have told, remind them that you would always rather hear the truth, no matter how bad it is, than be deceived. Tell them there is really nothing more sacred in your relationship than your trust of each other.

Of course, all this presupposes that we have discovered an untruth — some people are so expert at deception that it often takes a long time to find out that we have been lied to.
How, then, can we best detect whether we are being misled? There is no foolproof way, but there are often clues you can see in behavior that should make you suspicious:
Avoidance of eye contact: Usually someone makes eye contact at least half the time they are talking to you. If you notice them avoiding eye contact or looking down during a specific part of a conversation, they may well be lying.

Change of voice: A variation in pitch of voice or rate of speech can be a sign of lying. So can lots of umms and ahhs.
Body language: Turning your body away, covering your face or mouth, a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs can indicate deception.
Contradicting yourself: Making statements that just don’t hold together should make you suspicious.

I dont need another mom in my life

The 6th ....

"YOU DONT NEED ANOTHER MOM IN YOUR LIFE" ... a comment made by a dude to me.... you know yeah ok the truth is I dont need another mom in my life, but sometimes when that void is emtpy inside and then touched it reminds you that people do care and are watching over you!!

Had a long talk with a good friends mom today ... OMG it was so weird but we talked about so much ... good times, bad times, had smiles , tears (lots of them) ... I had so much on my mind that it was nice to actually talk to a mom. I really miss that about mom not being around the just talking to a mom part. Friends are there, but for some reason a mom understand all plus in the end they are always right hahaha we all know its so damn true!!!! Anyway all is well and the 5th is finally over, but also this time around it was different. I cried more on that day than I have the past few 5th's since Jan. I guess I just have so much inside that I pick one day a month to let it all out. I cant do that anymore because not only am I pushing family away but also friends who want to be there for me!!

Its weird how everyone is in search of something but at times when we dont know what it is we all tend to go crazy!! ASKING A LOT OF WHY's and also thinking about shit!!

At 25 you should not be lost you should have found yourself and on that path you are gonna travel down for a long time, but I have not. My life use to be all planned out and the not knowing part use to bother me a lot, but not anymore. I guess because I see life so different now. I look at life as an open book, an endless journey, a right and wrong way of life ..... you live for life rather than live for work ... in Chrissie English "LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WAS YOUR LAST"!! Anyway I know no matter what all will turn out ok. I mean look at me ... ok ok ok bad example haha but really come one I am crazy but turned out ok!!

Well I feel this week is gonna be a good one!!

ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!

COME HOME SAFE CHRIS

Well today was not only about mom .. it was also about Chris my friend (Alyssa's) Brother who is leaving for Iraq soon, so this weekend was his last time home with his family.... She is taking it well, but only because she is strong :)!! That is what I admire the most about her, so my heart goes out to all of them!!

The 5th :(

The 5th well what can I say ... another month of missing mom and who knows how many more to go.

Why is it that I dread the 5th of every month. I so hate that day!!! From 12:01am to 11:59pm the day just starts off bad, drag on, and it seems to just never end.

On the 4th of every month I am like "O got tomorrow is the 5th" then on the 6th Im like "yes, its over I got trough it but in 30 more days it will be here again AHHH". Yeah ok and I wonder why I keep getting gray hairs.

Why cant I just forget about the day and see it as just another day in the month. Well my concussion to that is I feel guilty. No sure why I guess because as each day passed I know that mom is missing out on so much in my life, even if its just a thought I want to tell her or a funny I read or heard I still feel like she is missing out on everything !!

Well I am out of here for now. I will be Missing in Action (MIA) for a while ... gonna surf a few days away to clear my mind!!

CATCH YA ALL SOON!!

MY MISSION

I was on a mission this week

My friends brother is in the army ... need I say more?? Well he is leaving for Iraq this month and she has been bummed out about a few things so my mission was to try and cheer her up.

Then let the Fast and the Furoious driving begin. Hey you have to TURBO it up sometime why own a TURBO BUG if you dont use it. We hit the beach for a surpirse QUARTER WISH and then made it back home with time to spear.
