Redneck Riviera

We spent New Year's weekend in Myrtle Beach. Had a blast! Beautiful warm weather! Met a ton of cool people! Craig and Kevin from Winston Salem and the hot boy Eric from North Myrtle, whom now I think living in Charleston. Hope they will give us a call and come visit in Charlotte! We need some more pretty scenery here.

A Change

Thought my blog could use a change..

Brokeback Mountain

I'm counting the days down. I was just reading the heartfelt posts on the website www.brokebackmountainmovie.com and this one from SC really stuck with me:

"You know it's there, this love that you've experienced, you've shared. Secretly, so heartfelt, always understanding and knowing what feels so right is just so wrong to so many others. Always knowing you cannot return to what is real and true, feeling an obligation to maintain an image and continue down a path with which there is no hope for a happy future, and knowing you're lying to the world and to those who you care so much about. Having to hide to keep others out of the knowledge of what's really been going on, and having to keep to yourself something so sacred and true. Something so real.
And then finally coming to the realization of what is right for you, and what is meant for you, and not being able to share that with those you care about most.
Regardless of the situation, love is real. It's discovered, felt, experienced.
I know this story all too well. Peace be with others who share this feeling."

Just wanted to share it with you.. I can't wait to see this movie. I know I'm gonna be a big'ol mess by the time it's over though... Hope the theater is dark.. lol..

Friday again!

It's my favorite day of the week again! Friday! Yay!!! One more hour of work and my freedom begins! It should be a fun weekend with the 3 parties that we will be attending. Tonight our friend's mom is having her Xmas party at the Lake. She is a really cool lady with lots of cool friends. She's alot like I hope to be when I grow up. Tomorrow night our friend is having his annual "Festivus" party. It should be a blast with the "gag" gifts that we always exchange. This year we're taking a "love" pig and a "love" sheep.. Too bad we didn't get to try them out yet. Sunday afternoon my friend from work is having his party with lots of homemade eggnog.. Yum.. Yum..

It's finally warmed up outside. Our little icestorm is over. We only had a couple trees bent over from the ice in the woods behind the house. It was really slick this morning while I was driving in to work. I only slide once in the parking lot. Charlotte got off light as usual. The Western part of the state was seriously iced with a lot of power outages, trees down, etc.
I'm ready for it to warm up. It is up to the mid-40s now, so it feels pretty good outside.

I'm doing ok, despite my "fall from grace" in my healthy lifestyle. I've been really bad lately. Smoking, drinking, soaking up some diet coke, and other things which I'll leave up to your imagination have all been my vices. That is going to change right after Xmas.

Wuzzy's picks for the new residential hotspots!

High density turns me on! I'm such a city development freak!

It's Friday!

Yay!!!! I'm so ready for the weekend. I'm sitting here with 45 minutes left to go at work. I think I'll goof off and surf the internet until I get off.. I'm hoping for a nice relaxing weekend. This has been a crappy week with David sick again with tonsillitis. I've been so worried about him. I can't wait for him to get them taken out. Hopefully he will be rid of those little "buggers" within a few weeks.

My plans for this weekend are going out to eat, cleaning house, visiting my parents, and maybe putting up our Xmas tree to celebrate the life of trees around the world. Hehe.. Note it is artificial cause I'm not into killing innocent trees. Well at least that's what I celebrate on Dec 25! I've been on a major anti-Christian kick these last few weeks. My parents are getting pulled deeper and deeper into the Baptist Church. Uggg. It scares me! They have been so sheltered their entire life, I'm afraid that they will believe anything their preacher tells them. I told them that all I ask is that they keep an open mind and realize that there are millions of different views in the world.

I would love to know how my mom will take it if the topic of homosexuality ever comes up in church. Hopefully, she will stand up for my rights.

Blah.. Blah.. Blah..

What's going on in my life tonight

Today's been a pretty good day. So-so at work as usual. I did get a chance to talk again to the new neighbor across the street.. She is a trip. I got out of my car and was checking the mail and she was all waving at me and wanting me to meet her son Quindell, who was visiting. She was asking me why we were wanting to move and then said that we need to hang out and have a glass of wine one night. I told her that we were all about some wine and she asked what kind we liked and I said usually Merlot and she said "She had never heard of that!" ok.... Then she looks me directly in the eyes and said, "Do y'all smoke refer?" lol.... I about died and of course the answer was "yes, once in a while." Then later in our conversation, she said that she hoped she wasn't too forward in asking me that and I laughed and said no. I thought that was soo funny.. It really made my afternoon. She said that we looked like we liked to have a good time. She must have seen all the wine bottles and Absolut bottles in our recycle bin today. I may take her up on that sometime. I'm expecting a totally shitty week next week with my dad in the hospital and all. He will probably be in ICU from Monday until Wednesday and in the hospital until maybe the weekend. It all depends on how he's doing. He has a cold right now and they are trying to determine whether he will need additional blood platelets for his surgery. He also has a problem with a low platelet count. I'm planning on going up every day and spending a couple nights and trying to work some too. It wouldn't be that bad if the hospital he's in wasn't an hour drive from Charlotte. I am scared. I'm picturing in my mind what he is gonna be like after his surgery. Supposedly, he's gonna have a tube down his nose into his stomach for a few days. I hope he's gonna be ok. They still don't know if he will need any additional treatments after the surgery to kill the cancer. I guess they will know after they get in there. At least we know that it hasn't spread to his liver.

On a brigher note, the weather is still beautiful.. Highs are hitting 80, no rain in sight. I really dread when winter finally arrives. I wish it could be like this all year.
