If I had a camera phone, I would take pictures of extremely overweight women on motorcycles, wearing black spandex pants tucked into black cowboy boots, with black t-shirts, of course.
If I had a camera phone I would take pictures of all the cars driving on the shoulder of the road. (Because they are scared of oncoming traffic?)
...of the tailgaters who leave five feet between vehicles.
..of all the cute, green, tiny carnicerias.
...and washeterias (that's Texas for laundromat).
...and of logos like this: bluebell ice cream, the national ice cream of Texas. There are more national things of the state of Texas.
...and of all the state law signs. I swear, they are everywhere.
I would get pics of indignant Texas faces when one does not follow Texas state law.
Most especially, I would take pictures of Texas everyday heroes.
The image will forever be burned into my brain. The cars stopped in the middle of the street, the 8 or so strangers surrounding him, four men lifting the huge, white motorcycle off his body, the woman calling out,"Talk to him... talk to him..," while he lay in a puddle of broken glass under the heavy machine. The ambulance making its way forward.
I could cry right now just thinking about it. This is the second motor cycle accident I have seen in a month, and both times civilians blocked off traffic and took over the situation, stopping to help.
They may not help you out with your groceries at the store, rent you movies without a Texas ID, or allow your kids to go to school with out 23,450 different forms of identification and proof of residency, but Texans will help you when your life is threatened.
Thank you everyday heroes, for doing what you do best.
If you had a camera phone, what would you record?

1999
Hey yellowdog granny, remember what we said about Scorpios? Well this guy, Cletus, seems kind of funny. He is a new blogger, so lets all go say hi! (Even though he is a Scorpio. Sorry, I was raised by one, and he's an ass.)
Dreamscape dot com was already taken, so my new domain will be LavenderDaydreams dot com. When it's up and running, I will let you know. Finally, after all these years (1999 is when I made Clouddrifterz), I am getting my own domain! Eek! I am so excited. I hated picking out a host, but I went with one recommended by Wordpress, Laughing Squid. I will most likely be using blogger, but may opt for wordpress. I will keep you all updated!

Ooo, new toys!
I have been known to pitch a fit about people using basic blogger templates. So, for your customization pleasure, I have two sites for you to check out! They are blog template generators; you enter all your information, links, blog roll code, everything! and voila, you have a new template. The styles to choose from are simple and clean, but vary enough that I think you will be pleased. Anything is better than standard blogger templates! Bleck!

Gobulous Hottie Bloggers
Suz has a new site for us girls and I am trying to help come up with a design for it. Right now I am in a state of confusion, which is easy to do when working via email. When she gets time she needs to call me! I swear, I am just lost.
I made something, but she thought the flower had a penis, she is so weird, but whatever. I should go, I have a kid to wake up and take to school, and a kitchen to clean.
Chantz went to Montana, but has a tendency to "surprise" me, coming home early to a messy house and no dinner. I don't like surprises. F@cker head.

Whoop dee do
I have recently been irritated by a blogger- a barely 20 something- who goes off about how she cusses, and fuck off, etc. She is elitist, and has rules for who she rents her blog to- like the world spins only because she wiped her ass this morning. Sorry- it bugged me. I don't care if you swear on your blog- but it doesn't make you super cool if you brag about it. You are not that special. I would go into greater detail, but I really don't give a shit; that's why I haven't bothered to mention it before.
I bring it up now only as a introduction to a blogger who actually is super cool, whose expletives would make a sailor blush, is 62 years old, and makes that other blogger seem even more like an young, annoying twit than she already is. Blogger number one is a bitch- she's mean, annoying, thinks she's cool cuz she swears, gets in your face about her trauma and is elitist- "my blog is best" "my code is perfect" "don't even ask to rent my blog if yours isn't" " sidebars have too much stuff in them" "don't even ask to rent my blog if you use a default design" "I'm a web designer and a blogger so fuck off I know everything and I was ***** so don't fucking feel sorry for me but I am going to mention it in everything motherfucking post because I won't let anyone forget that I was ***** know matter how long ago it happened and all cops suck....."
Oy vey. You won't find that shit at this blog. You will find a very humorous woman, with an attitude deserving of her age, who will entertain you with her wit. She can make a can of diet doctor pepper seem like the most interesting thing in the world. Her sidebar is long, but does use a drop down menu or two, uses a default design, doesn't give a fuck, and she's from Texas!
Go visit yellowdog granny. Now go away and drop a line.
Later.

It is here we express our voice
Jayne got me thinking about my old poetry. I am going to assume all of you were to lazy or uninterested to actually click on my poetry links, so I am going to post one here. I like this one, because it really expresses my internet position; it gives me voice, as well as many of you. I wrote it before I became a blogger, but way back then I just had a regular geocities webpage- who didn't?
It is here that I am.
Voices
Heard in the night
Shifting through the darkness
Can they find the light?
Will our words become?
Or are they destined not to be?
I speak
My words fall like rain
Pouring like my tears
Yet falling from my lips
It is here I express my voice.
It is here that I am.
You will never hear me.

Big, long, heaving sigh
I think I might be bi-polar. This is the first time it's come to my attention. I have been getting hyper- a little spaztastic- over the top- and I notice but I can't control it-or calm down. Then I get veeerrryyy tired and bummed out.
I thought I had hormonal or emotional issues rather than depression. So I got back on my anti depressant because though it makes me tired, I don't spaz with it, pick my head, or get all depressed.
There is a word I can't think of, it is bugging me, and it describes how I feel. Weird. I need to go take a nap. My luck as soon as I get comfy, the phone will ring. It always does.

You guys rock
Too bad the people who received MY stuff aren't as honest! Alice went to our old address and picked it up, only they kept my quilt and shams for themselves! She is going back in the morning to get them back!
At least they gave her the doll house and accessories!

What would you do if...
...UPS delivered packages addressed to your address, but not your name, and that you didn't order? And then did it again 2 more times in one week, all to the same name but wrong address? And if all the packages were from LTD?
Answer me honestly.

Stuff and a dream
Tessa is having a sleepover... her friend Hailey who had a birthday sleepover last weekend. They took Bruce for a walk, made a huge mess in my house, and Hailey made us a cake- chocolate, yum! Her grandma taught her how. I supervised. Hailey has a sister named Stormi. Chantz wanted to name Brandy Storm, but I didn't think it fit. Why didn't I think of Stormi? That is cute.
Austin is all pouty because his friends can't play. The neighbor, shelby's dad, yelled at Austin and told him he couldn't ride his motorcycle on this road anymore or he would call the cops on him. Hmmm, he rides in front of a cops house all the time and he has never said anything. And other kids rides them around here, too! Asshole. He and his family moved out here first, and boy do they act like they own the whole neighborhood.
weird Brandy dream-

weird Brandy dream-
Brandy was carried by C in this pouch, which he washed and forgot to take her out! I got her out of the machine and she was fine. I was soo freaked out. Her arms and legs were all tangled up but she came out fine, except her eyes! I thought she had stayed above the water, but they were tiny and cream colored! The soap hurt her eyes! I told C we had to take her to the hospital because she might be blind! Then I woke up, all panicky, and in my sleepiness wanted to go back to sleep to find out if she was ok.
I ended up having other weird dreams instead. I only remember fragments of those.

the drama queen is back!
"Where is my brown shirt?"
"My teacher is mean!" (cries, wails, balls)
"I don't want to wear the black shirt!" (throws stuff, whines)
"That won't match my jumper!" (pissy, bitchy)
"Tessa, you don't have to wear a uniform. Wear regular clothes today!"
Why me?

I'm done!
I finally finished Gail's blog (you know, my mother, lol!). It didn't take me long actually, it just took me a while to get finished. It's cute; it has this neat angel/fairy floating above some clouds. All Ma said was she want something purple, with fairies, that didn't look too witchy.
Like that's a lot to go on! So I started with the fairy- I emailed her a bunch of fairies I found and told her to pick one- and once that was done I was able to NOT get started. It took me a little while to figure it out. It's simple, but pretty, and I like it. I thought thecode would take me forever, but it didm't; I must say this is the fastest work I have ever done!
Now I want to change mine!
Whatever. It's 6 in the morning and I can't sleep; Brandy can't sleep, and Rocksy won't go to sleep! So your commandment (hehe) is to check out my hard work at Cloud Nine.
This is cool, too. Found this: Starwars last supper.

I was so excited...
...when I saw this, I just had to blog about it. It just made my day that Amy Brown now has pottery, that I instantly wanted to share it with the world! Or, at the very least, my few fellow bloggers.
But I am a multitasker. I have anywhere from 3 to 6 tabs/windows open at a time. It's a sickness, ok? And while visiting Lady Tawodi, I learned of this.
How very, very sad. I started to cry, disconnected the internet and called C. He said, "the world has lost a very good man."
I couldn't agree more. You will be missed, Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter!

"I want my real mommy!"
In 2 weeks we are getting satellite internet! Finally, I can blog like I used to!
Austin's friend is staying the night. His name is Austin. They are playing terminator; they are underground. Boys are cool!
I have a candy addiction. Everyday I get a sugar jones and have to have me something sweet. Juice or coolaid works in a pinch, but I make many trips to the gas station.
On the 26th, the day after Austin's 11th birthday, we went to incredible pizza with grandma Alice. We raced gocarts and I did not come in last! How cool is that? Oh, and Austin took second, and got a cool ribbon... but I didn't come in last! We played minigolf, too! Lots of fun; we were there for three hours.
The kids had to get there shots the other day. Tessa went first; the second nurse had to lay on her, while I held her upper body and the first nurse poked her. Just a skin prick, not a muscle punch or anything! She needed her varicella vacs or she couldn't stay in school. That's chicken pox, btw. Afterwards, Tessa was all like, "it didn't hurt!" But her screaming hissy fit antics freaked out Austin, who then also had to be restrained in the same manner, hollering, "I want my real mommy!" and then, "I want my daddy!" He blubbered like that for another 30 minutes, ensuring that we couldn't go to the cool Walmart in Lake Conroe. His was just a little poke, too! He needed an MMR.
The next day I went back with just the babies, and got Brandy her (missed) 2 month old shots. She had 3 one inch needles JAMMED into her thighs. She cried for about 5 minutes, and got some ibuprofen. She has to go back in 2 weeks to get her 4 months shots. what a big girl she is!
The first day we were late, because Stupid gave me bad directions. "Go on the 45, take the 105 exit, take a right, go past the lake, then past the walmart. We are on the right." Soo.. I asked her if she meant exit 105? She said yes.
Note that she didn't tell me which direction to go in, north or south from Willis. There is no exit 105. After discovering that, and going north instead of South, way out of my way in the wrong direction, i figured it out. I headed back to Willis, then to Conroe, took exit 87 and got on Highway 105, witnessed a motorcycle accident, sent up some prayers, thankful that the man was not under the car with the bike and wasn't covered in blood. We got there and we had to wait because we were so late. The next day I was late again, this time because I suck, and we had to wait even longer. Why go to Montgomery to get shots? Because they are $10 cheaper per shot than in Conroe and take CASH. The other ones were medicaid only. F@ckers.
Thanks everyone for your support! St John has not called, and for that I am also thankful. And I did make it to the other Walmart, and it was all shiny and nice, and had different products. Expensive stuff, too! What's up with that? Oh, and Tess is at her friends house having a slumber party. Yee haa! Kidding!
