thursday Morning

whew went to bed early last night just went in and laid down and fell asleep.. woke up at midnight or so to try to do my thing LOL nothing.. went back to bed.. woke up at 6 am thinking i had to do my thing nothing... so Im staying up and drinking a bunch of water to see if can get that going today... god this all sucks! Im supposed to start my new job today and I really want to do that job well... but it is gonna be hard as hell in this condition... I am still going to go try ... maybe taking my mind off the fact i cant pee will make it easier to pee LOL..


Hope you all have a great day...

the new season of lost starts tonight wooohoooo!! cant wait to see it!

found a urologist not an easy task.

going in for an appointment at 3:45 today.

they are talking about doing a scope into my bladder OMG that does not sound like fun at ALL!!

but I have to meet with the doctor first.

Ill be glad when I can type something happy and fun on here again.

Oh i do have that dinner date tonight with James..

Hope im feeling ok to go.. im doing pretty well right now just sore and crampy from pms and of course i gotta pee... LOL...

Just got home from the hospital

No uti no stds no infection of any kind... I have a bladder problem possibly induced by the pain medication i took for my teeth .. They wanted to place a catheter and bag on me but i told them no... i mean how could i work like that... they said i need to set an appointment at a urologist to figure out whats going on with my bladder... so more to come but at least its not an infection or worse and that makes me happy... 8). even if i cant pee right!

The Rexster leaves for the road

well my buddy rex is heading out today His new classes and on the road training start on wed but he has to catch a bus in the morning to go to TN to meet up with his Mentor... It was fun to see him again and go fishing... and just hang out but it will be nice to have my house back again too LOL. I think im getting spoiled on being single and enjoying the freedoms it affords.. running around naked and stuff LOL..

Not feeling too hot....

the pain meds i took for my teeth have caused me to have a uti and i didnt pee for 26 hours
ive been drinking cranberry juice and i had another round of antibiotics here so i was taking them but ... to not be able to pee for that long is so painful i almost had rex call the ambulance last night until i finally got went p just because my bladder was so full it had no choice.

ughhhhhhhh if it aint one thing its another..

what really sucks is i got a part time job at party city I start next week and i got a wedding tomorrow and I really really don't need a hospital bill right now.... f***! But i cant go through that pain again today that will knock you to the floor crying like a baby.

I havent tried to go this morning i figured i would start out with another glass of cranberry juice to get it started ... Im scared i wont go and that will be the note to send me to the doctors.

pray for me!!!

hugs
Anna

the whole catch!

Rex and our big catch ... lol we will try again tomorrow night and maybe have enough for a fish fry by Saturday night woo hoo!

I caught one!

Woohoo!!!

Chilled out day

Well rex came over today and we hung out went and he got a haircut and I laid in the tanning bed then we went and had coffee at the koffee Kup in Saint cloud, after that we headed down to Crabby Bills and had some dinner.

Then we stopped in at the tackle shop and got some minnows and we are going to go fishing tonight as soon as it stops raining. which i think its starting to do now.
Ill let yall know if we catch anything. Supposedly tonight the crappie are gonna be biting big time we shall see!

Have a great night everyone

meeting someone new

This is James.. I'm meeting him on Tuesday next week... we've been talking for a few days now online and on the phone. He seems like he has his collective act together. Wants a lot of the same things I am looking for in a partner. and well he thinks I am beautiful funny and smart... so he cant be all bad. He is a Pc Engineer, and is being transfered to melbourne next week.. Maybe he will be my new best friend... hes 6'4" so he shouldnt have stumpy arms and I already told him about onion breath boy so hopefully that wont be an issue LOL.. we will see.... cross your fingers he might be a keeper!

tried to get a part time

job as a face painter in the theme parks... would have been cool for me but.. they couldnt work with my wedding schedule ... the bastards LOL.. oh well...

Back to the grind... and New oppritunities on the Horizon

Well its back into wedding mode Thursday, Saturday and Monday for me. time to start thinking make um pretty!!

a new opportunity is on my horizon within the modeling world. My good friend Craig Seay is starting an online magazine dedicated to the modeling world. It will be on a subsccription basis after the first two issues so there will be money involved and they are asking me to have a section in the magazine where i do articles and interviews with famous makeup artists and wardrobe stylists... dont know where it could lead but fun!!! im kinda stoked!

LOL

Click the Picture for a surprize ....HA HAA!

Days Like this ...

you know these cold days , it really sucks to be alone.. although i did enjoy a few hours with a wonderful friend today watching a movie.. I miss those days when you don't even have to get out of bed when its cold like this. You just stay in there drag in some snacks and drinks some good movies and just snuggle all day long! yeah I miss that!

Sunday Mornings Rawk!

Waking up to a beautiful however cold Sunday morning.

Last Night at the movies

I saw cloverfield the movie.. Now going in I knew what to expect a high budget low craftsmanship film.. the movie was shot similarly to blair witch -project, all on a hand held camera.

the jist of the story line is 1 guy has gotten a promotion and is being transferred to japan to work.
so his family and friends are throwing him a big going away party...
at the party one of the friends is put in charge of filming goodbyes and documenting the party

Your all into that story line when all of a sudden theres a loud bang in the city and something is basically raising hell in the city blowing stuff up and throwing buildings... and everyone from the party runs outside to see what it is...

the funniest part is when the statue of liberties head comes rolling up thier street like a bowling ball. and they just stand there looking at it like WTF ?!!

I wont go into what is doing all this or what happens next ... incase you do want to see it just for shits and giggles but... do be prepared for an unexciting ending similar to those of stephen king when he decides ok Im done writing now PRINT...

on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 4 and thats just becuase I like spfx and there were some good fx makeup artists on this gig!

Id wait for the video though!

Have a beautiful day
anna

MMMMMMMMcdonalds!!!!!!

ok i was starving tonight and i couldn't take one more smoothie!!! so i went to Mcdonald's and got a small cheeseburger... i broke it into tiny little pieces and i gobbled it down and it was the best damn cheeseburger ever.. LOL ahhhhhhhhhhhh i swear my belly feels soooooo good with some food in it now LOL... didnt feel to great on my mouth but my tummy didnt care what my mouth had to say LOL

I spent the whole day doing nothing but those carpets to get them clean again.. I may do one more go through tomorrow just to make them really nice and then its just a matter of cleaning up the rest of the apartment. but for now.. im going to bed soon..

Have a date tomorrow night for dinner and a movie that should be fun...

was gonna go to the movies tonight but it got too late to fast oh well..

Cleaning my Rental Cottage...

Ok I should have taken freaking pictures before I started... but i didn't.. Ive been cleaning all day the living room carpet.. just the living room carpet.. WTF!!!

I'm starting to rethink the renting out the whole cottage idea.. what a pain in the ass it is when people move out...

maybe i should think of some other way to use that space to make money.. maybe turn it into my office studio or something damn man this is ridiculous!

or put some cute furniture and rent it out for the weekends and that way they wont have enough time to trash the place and then i know it will have to be cleaned when they leave but ill charge more LMAO ... man o man what a mess!

ok off my ass and back to work Id like to at least get all the carpet done tonight incase when it dries i need to do more ill know..

feeling tons better today

my friend is flying into town tonight and we are gonna hang out.. looking forward to that alot.. got the doggies except pnut washed only because he is hiding from me right now lmao.. chicken shit dog... its just water for goodness sake! oh well 2 out of 3 aint bad. LOL

ok back to finishing up chores

Have a great night everyone!
Anna

and Then there is RU.....

Ru was Haden's Dog... But while living here he grew close to pnut and him being an old dog like abbie living out here on the lake has really given him a spunk.. plus being friends with pnut makes them all run around and play and be youthful again...

He got really sad when haden was moving and snuggling up all the time with pnut like he knew something was wrong.. so we decided he could stay here with pnut and see how it goes...

Im sure he misses his mommy but she comes to visit him all the time and she brings him food and treats and stuff and when she gets more stable and has a place to keep him where he wont be in a cage all day she will come get him back...

we made a deal though that any time I want to go away or do something she is the official pet sitter and must come out to the house and take care of the kids LOL which is cool ..

I never have to worry about finding someone to take care of them when im not home and im not stuck here becuase I dont have anyone to watch them...

The rest of the lakeside hideaway family

over the last few months my family of me and pnut grew.... well obviously below you see our official mouse chaser OC

Abbie my doggie from a previous relationship has also found her way back into my life... when her father called me a couple of months ago and asked could i come and take her..

she was doing really poorly and he couldn't care for her any more and that she would be happier living on the lake with me being able to run around and get fresh air..

Me and Haden drove over to Lakeland and picked her up.. gotta have back up for these situations as you never know what may happen...

Since being here she has improved tremendously she actually runs and swims and has lost a bunch of weight ... Her coat is shinier and shes much much happier since the first day i brought her back.

she actually goes swimming sometimes just to see if she can catch a duck.. she cant of course but she tries really hard... She is also the momma of the crew... which is cool she keeps pnut in line.

Its wonderful to have her back in my life i really missed her alot ...

I went to go to bed last night and OC (short for Orange cat) had snuck into the house and was sleeping in my pj drawer LOL... Oc is a kitty that haden had but when she moved he just kinda stayed and chases away the mice and lizards.. hes an outside cat but obviously it was cold last night and he snuck in to get some warmth LOL

After 5 hours at the dmv updating my address on the drivers license, and getting the tags transferred from my truck to my new little escort Im sooooooooooo ready for a nap!

Day 5

today i went back to the dentist.. he checked out the stitches and adjusted my teeth some where they were rubbing and hurting a bit.. told me to keep taking the antibiotics reordered some more painkillers thank god i was in misery ..(i promise i wont be addicted to them people!!) I have legitimate pain not just trying to be all high and stuff LOL besides these knock you down they dont even come close to making you high LOL they do make it possible to smile though without looking like im dying from the pain!


the stitches will come out on Monday Im thinking thats probably gonna hurt a bit too .. ive never had stitches before... so i have no idea hopefully not as bad as what ive been going through surely it cant be LOL

i did manage to put on some makeup today so i could camouflage some of the swelling.. LOL tired of looking like a chipmunk!! If it works on Tonys abs it can work on my face LMAO.. look in the picture you can actually see one of my dimples woohoo it must be going down some!!!
ok have to get some stuff done around here my good friend will be here in a couple of days and I guess i need to pick up my panties off the floor and wash a few dishes LOL


Ok talk to yall later maybe
Have a beautiful day
anna

Day 4

the swelling is still there but its down enough for me to share a glimps at the new teeth..They look really nice.. Im happy ! well ill be happier when it all stops hurting for sure LOL and I can eat again.. best diet i ever went on .. You can only drink your food and trust me Ive tried to eat soft food NOOOOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYY liquids only.... oh what i would give for a burger right NOw LOL but that aint happening for a while.. no fizzy shit either that hurts too.. so water and smoothies YUM lol

well back to take a nap..
Hugs to ya all

3 days of agony..

omg I know having a tooth pulled is no big deal and maybe two or three at once might suck a little but try 23 in one day.. and you will wish to god you were knocked out for the duration of healing time..

Im actually getting better now but the first two days forget about waiting 6 hours for a pain killer that would have been utter torture.. Heck it took 3 to just dull the pain after the Novocaine wore off Friday. just so i could close my eyes and rest for a few minutes and I was up in 3 hours to take another one..

Its not because i like the crap either its because the pain we excruciating... Today the pain is down to painful but i may survive .. the stitches are a bit itchy and irritating but I know its just healing..

The swelling in my face is still pretty bad.. cant wait to get it down so I can show yall my new smile!

Still having a hard time talking and swallowing... but I have been saying a few words lately and trying to teach my self how to talk again.. alot of sssssssssssssss sounds in my words..


I have to go in for a post op check up either tomorrow or Tuesday... Im gonna see if they will give me my xray from right before they pulled the teeth LOL..

well enough about this just wanted to update on the progress..


Hope your all having a beautiful day
Anna

Today is the big day..

hmmmm dont even know what to write.. scared and excited all in one. I wont be online for a couple of days probably but ill check back in on the break between appointments today.. if i have time.

Big Changes for Anna

well hopefully tomorrow i get a brand new smile and to be honest its one of those scary things that will keep you up all night... im dreading this change in a lot of ways but it has to be done and I will surely be much happier when its over with...
Ill post a picture after.. may not be blogging for a few days so bare with me..

Last night i had a friend over for dinner... it was nice to hang out and listen to some good music and just chit chat...

gonna get some serious work done today so no time for blogging fun Just wanted to check in and say aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! LOL

So im Pretty stoked about August

My Friend Julie and I are going to Mexico for 3 or 4 days and God knows I need a vacation... I hope business picks up enough to get everything together in time but i have plenty of busy months before the trip so it should all work out fine...

7 months and counting down wooooooooooooohooooooooo!

Thinking about getting a part time job somewhere in the evenings to just add to my income... hope i can find one that will work with my schedule.. doesn't have to be anything fancy but an added source would sure make me feel more confidante about my finances and it would get me out of the house some.. i dont want to get in a rut of being home all the time again.

Still looking for a roommate gonna put some ads out today say a prayer i find someone to rent the cottage soon!!

ok i have to get busy and start getting some stuff done around here..

Hope everyone is having an amazing day!

Sunday Mornings

Have you ever gotten up in the morning and the dream you had the night before was so real you almost felt like you were still there and not really back in the bed you fell asleep in.. thats a weird feeling..

I spent my morning marketing for makeovermajic then went to church after having guilt trip haden into going because she tried to get out of it since she went out drinking last night.. LOL oh no thats no excuse! she showed up dragging her friends with her but at least she showed up.. since we made a pact to go every sunday i wasnt letting her out of it!

Haden is my former renter for those of you who dont know... let me find her picture..there she is at halloween dressed up like anna nicole lol.. shes a good kid and I like her but shes still trying to find her way in this big old world too..

we all went to the new day cafe in st cloud for lunch then i came home and did a few more things took a nap and chatted with my friend bruce who is on his way to live in maryland... all my friends seem to be moving away lately.. kinda sucks im stuck here but oh well life happens and everything has a purpose.. but it sure does make my vagabond soul feel moved to move away to some far away place and see what kind of mischief i can start up..

Hope your all having a beautiful day
anna

Happy new Year!!!

So Here it is 2008 .. a new year with new possibilities, new opportunities, new adventures.

The Year is starting out on a dreary day at the lake but thats ok we kinda need the rain.We don't really need the 33 degree weather they are predicting for tonight though. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! if you know me at all I hate the cold weather! I'm a summertime girl all the way!

I'm spending my new years day cleaning house. Its ok though it needs to be done and Im enjoying the peace and quiet listening to some jazz on the radio and when i get done I think Ill watch some movies.

Tomorrow I have to be at Disney to do a makeover at 4 am so I guess it will be another early to bed night for me!
