"Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks; expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief; sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs that can undermine any tale you're telling."-- Pam Brown

"An older sister is a friend and defender, a listener, conspirator, a counselor and a sharer of delights - and sorrows too."-- Pam Brown

"One's sister is a part of one's essential self, an eternal presence of one's heart and soul and memory."-- Susan Cabill


"A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend
to the spirit, a golden thread
to the meaning of life."-- Isadora James

My heart is very heavy today. I have no idea why.
I have prayed about this all morning. This sinking feeling in
my chest is almost unbearable................
I wish my pain would just go away for GOOD!

A "Southerners" point of view..........

I'll be on you like a chicken on a june bug!
He’s about as handy as a back pocket on a shirt.
She’s so clumsy she could trip over a cordless phone!
He’s about as useful as a pogo stick in quicksand.
If brains were leather, he wouldn’t have enough to saddle a junebug.
Well, slap my head and call me silly!
Well tie me to a pig and role me in the mud!
Well tie me to an anthill and fill my ears with jam!
He’s not particularly intelligent:
The engine’s runnin’ but nobody’s driving.
If his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose
He’s so dumb, he could throw himself on the ground and miss.
He’s so dumb he couldn’t piss his name in the snow.
That boy’s two bricks shy of a full load.
I think that boy’s about two sandwiches shy of a picnic.
I think he’s one fry short of a Happy Meal.
He’s so rich, he buys a new boat each time one gets wet.
You’ve got champagne taste with a beer pocketbook.
He’s tighter than a flea’s ass over a rain barrel.
He doesn’t have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out.
It’s drier than happy hour at the Betty Ford clinic!
It’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table!
It’s so dry the trees are bribing the dogs.

don't you just love the way they talk? The way they react
is funny too. One of my very good friends is from up
north, and she is hilarious! I told her something
today about something that happened to me over the
weekend, I have been laughing so
hard I am lucky I haven't pee'd my pants............lol -

Julie and Me - Weekend Fun!

I just wanted to say thanks to my friends for making last weekend great!
I had a blast with my BF - Jewelzz! It was great seeing her and hanging out.
Hopefully we can do it again real soon! (Maybe this time Jewelzz can leave the TEQUILLA alone!)

"There are reasons for everything, we learn those reasons only when we are open to them." -Me '09-

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. ~Author Unknown

I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people, you can set your watch by them. And that's love, even if it doesn't seem very exciting. ~Sylvester Stallone

Love makes time pass; time makes love pass. ~French Proverb

Lust fades, so you'd better be with someone who can stand you. ~Alan Zweibel and Jessie Nelson, The Story of Us

You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry. ~Author Unknown

True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them. ~Author Unknown

To truly love someone, you have to want to, you have to be unselfish, caring and meaningful, no matter what time of the day or night it is. Love is unconditional and comes with making sacrifices; if you cannot adhere to this, you don't know what love is. ~ PKP
