I can't take it

"I can't take it...this welcome is gone, and I've waited long enough...to make it"

Realizing how much I don't like change, but I'm sure of course as the saying goes: change is good.

I always think I'm moving forward, and then feel the same way weeks later...crashing down once again. Maybe someday life will be like a country song lol...who knows.

The low point of my life was when a new friend (from work) asked (since I have no boyfriend) if I'm a lesbian ONLY b/c I don't have a boyfriend. Has the world really come to this? Must be at that age when if I'm not WITH someone significant, then I'm gay obviously b/c that's the only explanation...even though my cousin-in-law said he was surprised I didn't have a boyfriend-high point maybe?! you tell me...oh void out there

I love country boys

MY SONG: "Ladies love country boys" (sooooo true...)

She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
Ballet, Straight A’s, Most likely to succeed

They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
Put her on the fast track to a law degree

Now she’s comin home to visit
holdin the hand
Of a wild-eyed boy
with a farmer’s tan

And shes ridin in the middle of his pickup truck
Blarin Charlie Daniels yellin, “Turn it up!”
They raised her up a lady
but there’s one thing they couldn’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

(You know its true)

Yeah, you know momma’s and daddy’s want better for their daughters
Hope they’ll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty

They never understand
why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches
and a southern boy drawl

Or why she’s ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Hank Jr. yellin, “Turn it up!”
They raised her up a lady
but there’s one thing they couldn’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

(oooh, get country with it)

You can train ‘em
You can try to teach ‘em right from wrong
But it’s still gonna turn ‘em on

When they go ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, “Turn it up!”
You can raise her up a lady
but there’s one thing you jus can’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

They love us country boys
Ooooooh yeah
It's that country thing you know

WHITE STUFF

I never expected this but here it is: SNOW on Easter weekend in North East, PA (home sweet home)!

I was hoping to never see the treacherous white fluff again, but as God has proven, He is always in control of everything (especially the weather). At least I got some deep fried pickles, MOUNTAIN DEW, and homemade goodness. With those things and seeing some family, I was able to endure the white stuff well.

Katie moment: Not telling Adam that there are many many inches of snow and having him show up in CROCS and a light jacket. My bad as usual...
