Have any of you ever played LOGD (Legend of the Green Dragon)? I was quite addicted to it for a while. I played it again for the first time in a long time now though!
It's a pretty cool game if you like that kind of thing which I do! So far I've had 10 dragon kills. I'd have a lot more than that but I haven't played in over two months. LOL
You get a new day twice a day and you get to slay dragons and fight creatures in the forest. If you happen to decide you want to go there and want to know more about the game holler at me. I'll be happy to help.
You can find LOGD in other places but I only play there

glad that's over
Well... the visitation and funeral went alright. It's all over with anyways.
I did go with him to the visitation and funeral. I got to know a lot of his family more and that's alright with me too. for the most part... they are all down home good people.
You know what my biggest pet peeve is about funerals now days though? WHEN did it become ok to wear what you would wear to a nightclub to a funeral. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to be wearing complete black or anything like that but please.
To me ... a funeral is about respect for the family and such but heck even the people even in my generation were wearing something they would wear to go clubbin. Maybe it was because I was taught different because I was raised by my grandparents. But something where you can see the boobs and a tank top shirt with a very sheer shirt on top. Come ON!
It was hot but even with me in my new suit I wasn't that bad. Yeah it was all black except for the pink shirt looking thing. It wasn't actually a shirt but it looked like it. To me .. it looked very classy. Terry's girls all wore pants and either a t-shirt or one of them wore the tank top/sheer top thing. I didn't say anything ... they aren't my kids but after we got home Terry and I talked about it but we were both quite ashamed. Heck even a granddaughter of the deceased wore a skirt that was a mini and a shirt that came down in a v-neck showing her boobs.
Oh well not my thing and I'm not gonna bitch about it. At least I looked good and my daughter looked good (who was wearing a nice navy blue dress) that looks ADORABLE on her. I wasn't about to embarrass my boyfriend.

timing
Ya know ... no one ever does what you want them too. Certainly not die. Now don't get me wrong. I don't expect people to die on a schedule. But doesn't it always seem like you have other plans then end up having to change everything around to go ...
Terry's uncle who taught him everything he knows about fishing died last night. So we'll be going to visitation tomorrow night and funeral the next day. Course we had PLANNED on Terry going to the dentist and taking Nat to grandma's to spend the summer. Now we'll have to wait until the 2nd of June. Which is probably better anyways since we don't really have the money to do it this week anyways.
I really hate the idea of funerals. I really hate the idea of this one. Not because I don't like his family ... I really honestly do. What I hate is being the outsider. I don't know most of his family but the ones I have met have been really nice to me. I don't like funerals in the first place but to go to my boyfriend's family's funeral ... I don't know. I'm not sure I feel good about it. Of course if he wants me to go I'll be happy to stand by and support him. Not that he needs it. But I know when my grandfather died it was nice to have my boyfriend with me. We weren't married yet but we later married. He was there to hold me and let me cry though even though my grandfather didn't like him. LOL
I just don't like funerals. I won't expect Terry to go to my grandmother's when she passes. He HATES them but I don't know how he feels about it. I'm not even sure if he wants me to go.

work at home
I need to find a job. If something should happen to Terry ... I have no where to live, no job to work at and I'm on the streets.
I don't particularly want to go to work outside the home yet so I'm looking for something I can do at home.
Anyone have any ideas?
I really enjoy being at home and being on the computer. I get to spend as much time as I want with my daughter and go to school functions and the like. But when my daughter reaches 18 I will no longer be eligible to get Social Security. What that means is I'll be going back to work at 41. Now I don't have to work because with Terry's income and my income we make it alright. What makes it bad is I'll have been out of work for nine years by the time I go back to work which will probably be close to impossible.
Well anyways if anyone comes up with an idea for working at home. pass it on!

SCHOOL'S OUT SCHOOL'S OUT`
Ok now maybe you're asking why I'm so happy. Can I count the ways?
Number one ... no early mornings unless we have a doctor's appointment or something like that.
Number two ... my daughter will be in Illinois for the next two months visiting with my family and her father's family. Don't get me wrong we'll be up there every couple weeks to see her and we talk to her every night but she always has a great time up there.
Number three ... we are going to run away and hide. We won't be with the stress and the crap that we have been putting up with. Yucko.
They start school back August SECOND! I personally can remember not starting school until after Labor Day. Since when did being back in school that early become such a priority?
My youngest stepdaughter didn't end up getting Nat last night. It was raining like CRAZY and her Blazer broke down.
I'll be glad when hail season is over. There is about 2300 dollars worth of damage to the Nissan Frontier that we have. Well it actually belongs to him. I don't pay the payments and I certainly didn't pick it out. It's a VERY nice truck though and I love to drive it. In any case. We are afraid to have it fixed. About the time we get it fixed it'll come another hail storm and we'd have to have it fixed AGAIN! So ... we've put it off for a bit. Besides the fact we have to pay the 500 dollar deductible. :(

storms
I swear... every time I turn around it's storming here again.
Last night there was a storm, night before last it stormed. And when it storms I'm not saying it rains a little. The wind blows like crazy and it doesn't just rain ... it looks like monsoon season out there. It will storm all night too.
The other day we went out fishing and got caught in the middle of the storm. My loving boyfriend only had one rainsuit in the boat. He put it on HIMSELF. I had a jacket but it only repels water to a certain point. So ... now we've decided we need two rainsuits for the boat so both of us don't get soaked. :)
It's supposed to rain tonight well all this coming weekend I guess. :(
Tonight my youngest stepdaughter (well we aren't technically married yet but she calls me mom most of the time) so I introduce her as my stepdaughter. anyways she's supposed to come and pick up my daughter and take her for the weekend. I don't know if weekend means until Memorial Day or what but in any case it will be peace and quiet around here for at least one day!

anniversaries
Today would have been mine and my exhusband's 10th anniversary. No I don't really celebrate it still but ... we were only divorced a year and a month before he passed away. Course the other thing is we got along BETTER after we divorced than while we were married. And when he got sick he was living with me. I was with him every day while he was sick and even held his hand and watched as he took his last breath. We got along better and were more in love when he died than the whole time we were married. All the things that were bothering us before we actually had a chance to talk about. He knew he was not going to make it long and I knew it and we got everything out in the open. Even before we divorced we could talk easily but not NEARLY as easily as after he found out his kidney's were failing. I'll be honest I wasn't the best wife I could have been. On the other hand he wasn't the best husband he could have been either.
I know now that I lost a VERY good friend and lover when he passed away. Even though he's been gone a little over two years now there are still times I miss him. I'm happy where I am with another but I'll hear a song or smell the same kind of cologne he used to wear and this ache in my heart HURTS. Terry and I don't dance, never have and probably never will. I think that's the single biggest thing I miss about Gary. That and talking to him. I loved to listen to his voice (if only I had a recording now). But when we danced... it was like no one else in the world was there. Most of the time we would either two step, sometimes waltz though I wasn't all that great at it or line dance. When we started dancing I had two left feet. When we met he told me if I was going to be with him I better learn to dance. I'm pretty good at it now I must say. I can even still remember most of the dance steps. in fact, the other day a song came on and I did the same dance we used to do quite a bit together. Now if I could only get Terry to do the dance with me but since he doesn't like country music I don't see that happening.

fishing!
Terry (my boyfriend) and I went and ran a trot line today. Well he calls it his leg line. A trot line that catches fish bigger than your leg. Well if you picked my leg that wouldn't be hard to do but most anyone's leg. Saturday he caught a flathead (a kind of catfish) that weighed 23 pounds. A BIG FISH! Good eating though :)
In order to run (bait) the leg line you have to of course have fish to put on it. Oh by the way ... it's a TROT line not a trout line. Who knew I was saying it wrong all those years. If I had to I could run it but nah. I'll let him do that.
We went up to the creek and got some bait. The creek isn't too far from here. Less than a mile I'd say but they have the prettiest fish in it. Creek perch is what they are called. He also caught some polys. Apparently that's a little yellow and black catfish type.
He's been fishing Reelfoot Lake for YEARS. Well ever since he was a kid. Even made a living at it when his kids were growing up. We still go about every day when we get the chance. He's teaching me to bass fish. I've only been a few times and caught one bass but it was with a friend of his wife. She wanted to go and knew I liked to go and said hey you and I should go sometime so a few days later I went with her. Worked out great. We get along great and she makes a great fishing partner.
We also fish for bluegill. Terry spends most of his time laughing at me. Just cause I can't get the fish to the boat as effectively as he does. Course he doesn't stop to think I've been doing this a couple years and he's been doing it all the time since he was a kid.
I'll see if I can post some pictures to the site later so you can see the pictures of the lake and some of the fish we've caught. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the 23 pound flathead catfish. I'll take some when we run the line tomorrow.

Voting
Well I voted for the first time in my life. It's kinda funny. I moved down here to Tennessee and I'm doing all kinds of new things. Today I voted in the city primary where I live. I didn't know anybody running. And actually there was only like two races that had anyone running against them. After all it was just a primary. A Democratic primary no less. In the past ... had I voted I would have voted Republican. Only because in Illinois where I'm originally from most of the people that I knew and liked were Republican. But I never voted up there. Mostly cause I hate the idea of doing anything new by myself and two because ... well I didn't ever see the point. LOL
In any case I went and voted today. After I was finished a friend of ours (mine and my boyfriends) came over and he said well who did you vote for and I said I just picked one. He said did you vote for this one and I said nope. he said well what about this what and I said nope. I just went eeny meeny miney mo! and picked that way. He said well I'm not sure I want you voting again and I said well when you don't know anyone how else you gonna pick. So ... I picked. Not the right one of course. They shoulda put the guy I should have voted for in the mo place. LOL
After that I took a nap.

turtles
I've got three turtles now. Terry calls the Mississippi Map turtle that I've got a hicleback (he doesn't know where the term comes from) and the other two are southern painted turtles he calls line turtles. Because they have a line down their back. They are just too cute. One I found as he was crossing my shoe when we were putting the boat on the trailer after fishing. The other he found in the moss lookin at him. His oldest son brought me the other turtle. When I get paid this month I'm going to put them in two seperate tanks. They are just beautiful. When they get a little bigger I'll take pictures of them. They are in a 10 gallon right now but they will soon outgrow it. I haven't named my turtles yet. Not sure what I want to name them. They haven't started begging for food yet thankfully!
