Cheer @ MindSay 
camp
James and I went yard sale-ing this morning. it gives us something to do and we never spend much. Maybe a few dollars. Its our Saturday morning routine! We found Morgan a drum set for xbox today! called and woke him up to ask if he wanted them...just $7.00!!! They put everything at half price after 11 am! They are gonna have a great yard sale by doing this and they were cheap anyway! Orginally the drums were $15.00! Came with the rock revolution game. I just hope they work! She said they did and they seem to be in great shape! Wont know til Morgan uses them!
Last weekend we went to Hillsville to the huge flea market there. I didnt think it was as crowded as in years past. Because of the recession many didn't travel for it. Even the vendors were down.We still enjoyed it, just getting away for a day was good! Got to see Morgan too, as he popped home for the weekend cause he bought a drum set and had to pick up his glasses that came in.It was hot though last weekend! I was ready to quit at 2, but James insisted we rest a bit then plow on some more! I was wore out! we got there at 9 that morning, and we finally quit about 4:30...still about 3-4 hours left that next day to cover it all. We got to our room about 5 and collasped. I got a shower and saw that I was sunburned! ouch! I put sunscreen on! anyway, we walked over to Sagebrush to eat. we were too beat to drive anywhere. waited an hour to sit, then waited 30 mintues for our food.... Finished at 8 then went back to room and fell into bed! we were asleep by 10! whew! Up at 7 next day and started again! we finished about 10:30...I will never do that again! I cant take the heat anymore. I feel like i'm gonna pass out in it. today while yard sale-ing I felt like it again. I get really weak all of a sudden and feel shaky, and cant get a good breath... I dont know what it is...but it bothers me. Since I turned 46 this year, I feel like my body is deserting me... Perimenopause... Hot flashes, cold,chills, now this with the heat. I get too hot now...Maybe I should get checked out by the doctor. Mood swings too! I can bite someones head off if they cross me at the wrong time of the month now!!!I cant help it either. Family will just have to deal with it!! looks like I've got a ways to go before I'm out. Most of my friends tell me it ends about the time you turn 50ish!! So I'm looking at 4 more years of this!??? Ouch!!!
We went to the West game last night..It was really wierd with Ariana not cheering... Still saw a lot of parents there whose kids graduated with Ariana. Even saw some there home for the weekend from college. Just as 4th quarter started,it starts raining...I look at James and start laughing...we wait a bit, and it starts getting harder, so pack up and leave. passed several others and we said"No need to get wet this year! Not sitting in any rain!" everyone laughed. last year see, it practically rained every football game! and we had to stay then! With Ariana cheering and James head of concessions, there was no leaving. Sat under an umbrella most of the season and learned to deal with getting wet! So, last night was fun to get up and leave with everyone else!! We sat in car and listened to the rest of the game...West won, 28-21...Its a wonder though as many passes as they threw and missed,dropped or whatever...They lost over half the team as most were Sr.'s. last years team was great..
Of course all the parents still there saw James and tried to get him back,or tell him they miss him doing concessions! Some even told him that it went downhill a bit! Oh well! It's time for other parents to step up to the plate and do it!! The new couple that took over the concessions said they didnt really know just how much work it took to keep it up! Ha! We told em!!its like having a second job with no pay! and then no other parents want to help.."Oh I have to see my child play!" what's one night??? oh well, not our concern anymore! we will go to most of the home games I guess. I especially want to see Homecoming... the athletic director gave James a pass for this year, for all the years he put in as head of concessions. Old saying goes, no one appreciates you until you aren't there!
Wow! 2 days at once on here1 I'm on a roll!!
a girl had a seizure today at practice.
it was the scariest thing of my fucking life. i'm not even kidding. nobody had any idea what the fuck to do.
it was just after warm ups and we just went through the school song and all of a sudden there's just a huge GASP and she just falls. straight to the floor and shaking. she fell and her hand was up in the air and everything. nobody had any idea what happened.
Kim (coach) just went over to her to see what was up and she basically screamed for everyone to step back and that she's having a seizure. someone said to call Penny (other coach) but Ashlee (head cheerleader) already had it covered. Alicia and Miranda (other head cheerleaders) said they were going to tell central office.
so basically, me, manager, someone to help organize and do important things...had nothing important to do in a time like this.
AND I WAS FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT.
i was shaking, seriously. what i did was clear out the room. that was good actually. it helped. but it just wasn't that important. but really though. i was freaking out. shaking and everything. i was SO serious in this whole situation.
i was telling everyone to be calm and such...even though i really wasn't. ha.
i've never seen someone have a seizure. i don't even think i know anyone...or at least didn't know i knew anyone..who even had seizures. it was crazy.
but basically she's fine now. she went to the hospital and everything is fine.
but wow. that just scared the shit out of me.
My true love is a black cat... And here he is giving me a hug. Yes. This isn't a photoshopped picture. Mr. Tommy Snuggles the Midnight Angel likes to give people hugs and kisses! If you came for a visit, he'd greet you the same. Because Mr. Snuggles is a heart healer. Some animals are gifts to us from the Gods.
My sour mood is broken for, say, at least several months now, thanks to being reunited with the cat I rescued. Yes, you heard it right! Mr. Snuggles is my baby now. Kristina had to move after she got accepted into a new apartment where she can't have pets. I assured her that all will be well, that the cat will not be lonely since I work at home as a cartoonist and, while I'm drawing he'll sit next to me just like he did the weekend before when I was watching over him. He has been a great companion so far. Distracting me from any despair that dare creep in!
Last night I did some house cleaning. Poor kitty went wild! I think he might've thought I was playing with him as I swept the floor free of paper debris (paper and plastic garbage tends to accumiliate in my apartment like rabbits) because crumpled paper seems to be his favorite toy.
I also found out that my friend Miya was right (always trust a priestess of Bast to tell you secrets about your cats), Mr. Snuggles' first given name was "Tommy" and he was named after The Who musical of the same name. He comes to me when I sing: "Tommy, can you see me? Tommy can you feel me?" Too cute, eh? Kristina gave him the name "Mr. Snuggles" after she adopted him from the humane society because she felt that Tommy was too common of a name for him, but, hey, the kitty answers to that name more. But, yes, his spirit is definitely a "Mr. Snuggles!"
I'm so happy.
I had a bad dream, bad memories about old friends, low esteem is grabbing more than a few foot holds, and I'm sore in body and mind today. I need a push out of my mood swing. It's sunny out, clear, warm, summery... I miss the cat. I miss my buddies. I'm broke until the first of the month.
Is there anyone out there who can help me lift my chin back up?
SECOND UPDATE: 3:31pm Getting to feel very, very silly. It's a very humid day up in Stevens Point land. I think sitting under the A/C will help. Don't worry. I'm smiles again!
Lala, I'm just really bored and like all of my friends are already heading back to school. I'm excited about the upcoming year though, as I made the co-ed cheer team. You needed a round-off, back handspring, buck tuck and layout, standing back tuck, liberity, heel stretch double down, and the basics. It was pretty easy. I wish I could do both cheer and dance but I figured I'd be dancing enough anyways. The dance team would have been soo easy too, Triple Pirouette, fouette, switch leap and technique in pom, jazz, and funk. I loooove fouettes with a passion.
So I'm pretty psyched. Yet so bored! So I doubt anyone will read this but hey if you do drop me a line! It'll be fun.
