The New and Improved Brenda

So,the hubs and I will be on a cruise from the 7th until the 16th. We
are flying into Vancouver on the 7th, staying at the Westin and then
boarding the ship on the 8th. It's a cruise of the inside passage of
Alaska. I am so neverous. I haven't flown for 4 years and never been
on a flight that long! I am also excited though. Eeek! My nerves are
getting to me!

Does anyone have a phone number or address for the Verizon Wireless
legal department???

Ok... back for real this time? Maybe?

I'm back.

Met my old lover in the grocery store,
The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
And I touched her on the sleeve.

She didn't recognize the face at first,
But then her eyes flew open wide.
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
And we laughed until we cried.

We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
The food was totaled up and bagged.
We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
As the conversation dragged.

We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
But couldn't find an open bar.
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
And we drank it in her car.

We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
But neither one knew how.

She said she'd married her an architect,
Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
She would have liked to say she loved the man,
But she didn't like to lie.

I said the years had been a friend to her,
And that her eyes were still as blue.
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
Doubt or gratitude.

She said she saw me in the record stores,
And that I must be doing well.
I said the audience was heavenly,
But the traveling was hell.

We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence,
Another 'Auld Lang Syne'......

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
And running out of things to say.
She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school,
And felt that old familiar pain .........
And as I turned to make my way back home,
The snow turned into rain ..............

I just can't believe the plaintiff is a JUDGE.

I'm graduating on the 9th. Woohoo!

Oh, and I got an award! Woohoo!

So the other day I was thinking... hmmm I'd like to get a Dyson. Then
I saw a 20% off Bed Bath and Beyond coupon. I was sure that they'd
have Dyson on there as a restriction but much to my surprise, they
didn't!

So, I did a crazy thing. I went out and bought a Dyson Animal DC17.

$549.99 before coupon.

$469.00 after coupon!! (with tax)

See, I didn't really need another vacuum. I already have a $400.00
Kenmore canister vacuum. So what I did really was crazy.

But after vacuuming a 4 foot by 4 foot section, which wasn't even
dirty or anything, I was like ewww! That was in my carpet? This thing
picks up EVERYTHING. It's amazing!

Yawn. Bored.

YAY! My new avatar is approved!

Blah blah blah.

Read this. It's a letter from someone who was stuck on the highway
from a motorist stuck on the highway for over 15 hours.

Here Rendell made a public apology:

http://www.nbc10.com/traffic/11031774/detail.html

"The last of the trapped hundreds of motorists were finally sprung
loose early Friday morning, but the highway remained shut down as
crews struggled to clear ice and snow from the road surface."

Sprung loose FRIDAY morning after being stuck there since WEDNESDAY.


I78 is sill closed 3 days later.


INSANE.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true


_________________________________________________


I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready settled for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you

The Heaven knows those years without you
Shaping my heart for the that day I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

Everyone hit reload because I've got a new avatar! It's dumbo!

Today Rascal got snipped!

He's been sleeping all night. I like that! Poor guy cried when his
daddy dropped him off this morning.

We did get a new vet incase anyone was wondering. They're great.

Rasal lost all his canine teeth so no doggie dentist for him! If
anyone else has this problem, I suggest tug of war. It worked for us
LOL.

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
And plan our dreams where the peaceful river flows, where the green
grass grows.

______

I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin
So tired of searchin
til you walked into my life
It was a feelin
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

Whoops, I pressed enter.

Here's some of the best auditions from American Idol.

She's not a singer but... they can TEACH her!

Rascal lost his 2 top canines (I guess the vet said small breeds don't
always lose their canines) on his OWN in one day. No surgery
required!

Stupid vet.

So, I started my internship. It's different. More later.

I think I revived you

keep making new blogs LOL.

MORE COMMENTS PEOPLE!

So, some of you know me, some of you don't. I've decided to dedicate
this blog to.. ME!

I'm 22 years old and I live in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. We have lived
here for a little more than a year and a half.

I am married to the best guy ever, his name is Joe. We have been
together since September 5, 2004 and have been married since September
7, 2006.

We just bought a really awesome house. Umm it's 4 bedrooms, 3
bathrooms, a kitchen, laundry, you know.. the usual stuff. I think the
best thing about it is being able to do the laundry or vacumn late at
night and not worry about making too much noise and pissing off the
neighbors downstairs!

I have a crazy dog named Rascal. He's a 5 month old Sheltie as I
previously stated. He's a handful! I also have a bengal named Zoe who
is the best cat EVER. She is not too fond of Rascal, to say the least!
Also, we have a yellow headed amazon parrot and a maroon bellied
conure who are... well... NOISY LOL.

I'm in school majoring in paralegal studies and I'll graduate in May.
I'm doing my internship this semester, which is scarey, so wish me
luck on that!

So, that's about it I think. If I think of anything else to post about
myself I'll post it here!

:) *B

So the vet calls today to remind us of Rascal's appointment tommorrow.
Here's what the receptionist says:

"I'm calling to remind you of Rascal's noodle, I mean neuter
tommorrow"

HAHA, his noodle! Ok, does anyone else find that as amusing as I do or
am I just a big cornball?

I'm going to reply to everyone in one blog so I can cut down on the
number of comments I have. I don't want to stay on the top 20 too
long!

Thanks to Brennie, Tracy and Dragonflygrrl for welcoming me back!

I'm glad that I pushed out that letter for you guys but hopefully I'll
drop soon. You see, standing out is not something the new and improved
Brenda does LOL.

Tracy, that's my pup Rascal. He's a 5 month old sheltie and yes he IS
that high strung! But right now he's sleeping so shhhh.

Hi everyone!

I am the umm.. blogger formally known as *Brenda*.

It is my goal to have a "drama free" blog and stick to the topic at
hand!


Thanks for reading!
