    <content type="html">Howdy Ho,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am trying to keep up better on this thing. I read everyone's posts though and comment when I feel I have something of substance to add. I've been in a funk for a bit, for a lot of reasons, none that I really want to hash out right now. Sometimes things are not all as happy and bright as I'd like them to be, and I can admit I'm not handling everything as well as I should be. I guess sometimes we need to wallow in despair and sadness, before we pull up the big girl panties and deal. I am here. I might just be quiet, is all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers.</content>

    <content type="html">So I know I need to post more and update things, and I saw this on a friend's page and stolen it happily. I hope this helps to motivate me to post more, and keep it up better than I have been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please feel free to take as many dates as you like! Just put a question or a topic you want me to post about with a coordinating date. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 1: &lt;br /&gt;June 2:&lt;br /&gt;June 3:&lt;br /&gt;June 4:&lt;br /&gt;June 5:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 8:&lt;br /&gt;June 9:&lt;br /&gt;June 10:&lt;br /&gt;June 11:&lt;br /&gt;June 12:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 15:&lt;br /&gt;June 16:&lt;br /&gt;June 17:&lt;br /&gt;June 18:&lt;br /&gt;June 19:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 22:&lt;br /&gt;June 23:&lt;br /&gt;June 24:&lt;br /&gt;June 25:&lt;br /&gt;June 26:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 29:&lt;br /&gt;June 30:</content>

    <content type="html">Howdy Ho,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it's been several months since I've actually updated or that, but things are just chaotic as all get out in all honesty. I'm currently working like 12-13 hour days, I've already put in 44 hours this week and I've not even gone into work on Friday, or Saturday. I feel a bit of my sanity is gone, and I'm just trying to get through until Saturday afternoon where I can drink a lot and pass out until Monday rolls around and the entire thing starts all over again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll try and make a better effort at updating here, but I really have very little time where I don't feel overwhelmed, exhausted, cranky, or a plethora of other various negative emotions. Someday things will calm down and that, I love what I do, and who I work with, and who I work for, it's just a bit stressed right now with the sheer amount of overtime and work load we have.That's normally how it seems to be in the lending world, it is either feast or famine and I would much rather have feast than the alternative. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone is doing well, and I will try and have an actual more update this weekend, if I can find some time to sleep and get thoughts gathered and what not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Darkling</content>

    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There seems there are not enough hours in the day.  I will be training a new group this coming week so need to get to work early each day this week. I am also starting a new class so here's hoping I ended the last class well.  I'm not happy with the last few assignments I've done.  I know I could have done better, but what is in is and I cannot change anything about it at this point.  Just need to go forward better than before.  I'm not sure what the new class is, but I will find out tomorrow.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The husband and I have joined a gym.  I got a year membership from my mom as my Christmas gift and tomorrow I will get my first appointment with a personal trainer. I'm a bit nervous but also excited to see how it goes.  I've not worked out in such a long time I hope not to make a fool of myself too much.  The hubs also joined the gym but did not want to do any personal training.  I need to find some work out shoes for him and work out clothes as well.  It is hard with his height and shoe size, 14, to find something that will fit him. But I will find something for him.  I also joined weight watchers again, the first meeting I did not like the leader at all and am going to see about finding another one and meeting time.  This one was just awful, she was kind of mean and rude and not all supporting. It will not work out with her personality type and what I am looking for in support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is busy, we are going to be moving to a new building at the end of this week. So we shall see how that goes.  I hope it goes smoothly but there is normally small hiccups that come across that way.  I've learned to just roll with the punches.  Everything ends up working out in the end and I'm looking forward to seeing how the new building is.  I'll get to see some of my fellow past co-workers I've not seen in awhile and I'm looking forward to the new possibilities that come with the move.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welp, I need to head to bed, tomorrow I will be around more with filling graphic requests and relaxing a bit. I hope everyone had a good weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/xbelladollx/jinglehat-darkling-byxbelladollx.gif" border="0" alt="Blinkie made by adorablexi" title="Blinkie made by adorableix" fetchpriority="high"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone had a safe New Years. I am trying to do better this year with my health and eating. I need to really get a better handle on both and stop living in denial of the diabetes. The fact infection was a huge wake up call, and so today marked the day I am going down what I hope is a better path. I have managed to make my breakfast for the rest of the week for work and my lunch as well. Tomorrow&amp;#39;s is all packed up and ready to go, so I do not need to fuss with anything. The only thing I need to do tomorrow morning is blend up the smoothie I will drink on the ride to work, and the rest is ready in my lunch pail of doom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The morning meal is made up of greek yogurt with fresh blackberries and blueberries. Lunch meal is chicken salad (made with chopped up rotisserie chicken, mayo with olive oil and black pepper, chopped up green pepper and chopped up fresh chives, with a sprinkle of roasted garlic), cup of peaches, for a snack I have a cup of tapioca pudding (fat free) and fresh diced pineapple. I will also bring with me some flavored waters. Dinner tomorrow is going to be talipa filets, quinoa and steamed veggies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish me luck, so far I&amp;#39;m starting out more organized than before. I actually have made the items ahead of time and packed up the lunch before bed. This is a huge step for me, as I always say I&amp;#39;m going to do this and never do. So I finally just did it. I&amp;#39;m tired of all the excuses and feeling bad about things. Honestly, nothing is stopping me but me, so I need to just stop whining and complaining about just do it. I did that with school, and I can do it with this. So here&amp;#39;s hoping for a healthier me in 2013!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/xbelladollx/darklingfae-Surprise1-byxbelladollx-RPP-PMD.gif" border="0" alt="Blinkie made by adorablexi" title="Blinkie made by adorablexi" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture behind the cut of the yogurt breakfast numminess of doom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/breakfast_zps13697b63.jpg" loading="lazy"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Happy New Year!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that everyone had a safe and happy new year.  The hubs and I always stay in on New Year's Eve.  We do not like being out with drunks and crazies.  Our idea of a good time, is eating some appetizers, playing some games and watching some bad movies.  We herald in the new year in the way we spend most of the year.  This year though he has an awful cold that seems to be getting worse.  I'm glad he took a few days off of work and will be able to rest.  I am finally feeling better and had a full day with no sinus pain of any kind and no swelling of the face either.  I cannot wait to go back to work on Wednesday. I know that sounds odd but I'm not one to sit around and rest.  I always think on the number of things that I should be doing, could be doing, need to be doing, my mind just does not allow me to rest unless it is planned and even than I have a plan for my rest. Anyways, I hope this year brings us nothing but happiness and good tidings.  Here's to seeing the beauty and joy that will enfold for us in 2013.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/Hisescape/darklingfae-newyears_byHISESCAPE_zps7ea49ac8.gif" border="0" title="Blinkie made by hisescape" alt="Blinkie made by hisescape" fetchpriority="high"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that your holiday's were full of love, laughter and light.  This Christmas was a real stinker for me.  I started off yesterday, Christmas Eve, sicker than I've been in a long time. I was throwing up and so nausea I could not even stand up right.  I had to call into work and spent the entire day and night between my bed and the bathroom.  I was hoping that on Christmas Day I would be better. My stomach was good when I woke up by my face puffed up like crazy and my right eye was so puffy, blinking hurt.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Off to the ER for me! Just how I wanted to spend my holidays, waiting around in the ER to be seen.  I was finally seen and unfortunately not by a McDreamy, but my nurse was pretty cute and had a wicked sense of humor. The doctor thinks I have a kind of skin infection in the face, and wanted to immediately admit me to the hospital. I protested and we agreed to try a strong bout of antibiotics and if they do not work I will go back immediately and be admitted. I'm told infections are common for those with diabetes but it can be hard to battle as well.  I have everything crossed that the iv antibiotics I was given in the ER and the scrip I have will battle and win against the infection. I do not want to call into work again, especially when I just got the trainer position.  I hate missing work to begin with and quite honestly if it was not for work I would have happily been admitted into the hospital but I want to be there and help with training our new hires. So please prayers and good thoughts are definitely needed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On much happier note though my husband got me a set of real pearl necklace and earrings. I've wanted a real set for years now and he totally surprised me with a set of my own! I also think he quite enjoyed his gifts as well. I was not up to cooking though so hungry man tv dinners for us tonight. I know it sounds sad, but I got to spend the day with man I love more than anything in the world and our furry babies by our side, so all in all I still have many blessings to count. I hope that everyone's holiday found them well in health and spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies2/Fission/014-BBPGS-K4U-LPD-by-fission-at-alchemey-DARKLINGFAE_zps0408bcb7.png" border="o" title="Blinkie made by fission at alchemy" alt="Blinkie made by fission at alchemy" fetchpriority="high"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies2/Christie/092412-RPP-bychristie-darklingfae-16_zpscd0da1e6.gif" border="0" alt="Siggie made by chrisite" title="Siggie made by christie" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it's been too long since I've updated. I do thank each and everyone of you for still sticking by me. Things have been just over whelming and hectic. This week has been especially stressful with a group project I had to do for my current class. It did not go as well as I would have hoped for. I just hate this projects. I'd much rather just have to do the assignment myself and move on with my life. The one thing I LOVE about my current class though is my instructor. She is so awesome I love it. It helps that this is the first  class I've had that is on topic of my actual degree and I'm learning tons, but she is just so involved and you can tell really is passionate about this information and class that it really does become infectious. When I have an excited professor it makes me excited for the information being taught. Now if I can just get through the next few days before the grade for this group paper is posted and I see what I got without getting an ulcer things will be golden. Thank goodness everything from now on is just an individual assignments. This is also the first class I've had with having to have quizzes at the end of each week. I did the best I've had this week with only 2 incorrect out of 15. So I'm getting better which is a good thing. Onward and upward as they say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work life is going well. Things are busy which is good all around. Normally this is our slow time, but we are still rocking solid and having over time still. I had my mid year finally and things were good. I've gotten a promotion and two raises and I've not worked in the mortgage department for a year yet. So I feel that I'm finally a department at work that does seem to appreciate my hard work and effort. When I worked for equity I was actually told, despite having worked there for over 8 years that I would not be able to move up for another 4 years. That was just really insane to me. I also do not dread going into work each day. I really love the team I am on and everyone I work with. Things are really looking up for me career wise. I know I'm blessed beyond belief. I know what a gift it is to be able to truly love what I do and get paid well to do it. I am so grateful for where life has taken me, and if you had told me years ago I'd end up where I am I would have peed myself laughing. Onward and upward here as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal life is going well. It will be our 7th wedding anniversary on Oct. 29th. It is a Monday so we will most likely not be doing anything on that day as neither of us are off that day. I'm not sure what we are going to do if anything. I am just seriously amazed that I have the most wonderful husband in the world and I get to wake up each and every day with him. I love him more than the day we got married and just when I honestly think I cannot love him anymore, he finds a way deeper inside my heart. I have no idea what I did to be granted God's favor to have such an amazing man by my side but I enjoy it each and every day. That does not mean that we do not argue or have our moments, but we argue over stupid things like the dishes, we never have any real arguments or differences over anything that has real meaning to it. I look forward to having many more years with the hubs. Onward and upward!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will do my best to keep better updates. Tomorrow will be graphics night as well as updating about some other things that I do not have time for right now. Bed calls me right now! I hope everyone had a nice weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies2/Christie/092412-MYG-bychristie-darklingfae-10_zps93aa30a8.gif" border="0" alt="Blinkie made by christie" title="Blinkie made by christie" loading="lazy"&gt;</content>

    <title>Good and Bad</title>
    <published>2012-08-16T05:48:01Z</published>
    <updated>2012-08-16T05:48:01Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the last few days have been a mixture of good and bad, so here they will be in bullet points of doom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star2.gif" fetchpriority="high"&gt; Last Tuesday night we found a strange dead dog in our office. This is not a joke. Leo our dog outside had gotten the door to our sliding glass doors in the family room open. We do not know who's dog it was, as there was no collar. No wounds or blood on the body. No idea what happened, but I really struggled with this a lot. I blamed myself. I really feel guilty as if I killed this dog, even though I know rationally I did not. I ended up getting sick physically as well and had to take the some days off of work, due to stomach issues and other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star2.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; Yesterday at work, I had a co worker yell at me on the floor. Oh joy. We work in buddy groups so that if one of our designated "buddies" are out of the office, the others step in. One of my buddies is out all of this week. I had taken 6 of their files that day, and another rush just one condition needed to be done. I asked my other buddy if he could help this person out. He took the file, the person left, and then he yelled at me and threw the file back at me. I was told to mind my own business and not volunteer him for work. Um, first I didn't volunteer him for anything. I ASKED if he could help out with HIS buddy too. I didn't cry in front of him or punch him in the face. That was all that was good about that day. I've mentally crossed him off the buddy list and he will be out for the next two days, but I'm going to mind my own business and he can deal with his stuff on Monday when he is back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star2.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; My professor for my current class is horrible. When people asks her questions she is a huge douche about it. Her directions make no sense at all. She hasn't graded any of our work from last week so I have no idea what I should be doing this week for my paper due on Sunday. She never gives any kind of feed back and could be dead in her bathroom and I don't think anyone in the class would notice. She better not ruin my good standing I have. I hate not knowing what I'm suppose to be doing and no one else in the class is understanding it any more than I am. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star2.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; Politics. I'm tired of seeing stupid political stupidity all over live journal and face book. I don't normally comment on politics. I prefer to keep my opinions to myself. But can people please post something rational and sane with their political views. Can there please be a rational reason you don't like the president and don't want to vote for him that have nothing to do with him not being a citizen, a muslim, spending 50 dollars at Petsmart for his dog at Christmas, and shopping at Target. I'd like some real political discourse for once. Not stupid sound bite insanity. There are plenty of reasons to not agree with the current President but his bill at a pet store is not one of them. For once I'd like to hear some real political debate and have an open conversation that is based on facts, not fictional sillyness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some slightly good things though, so I won't leave it all negative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star3.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; In a week my mom will be here. I will be on vacation and enjoying time with mommy. Oh how I cannot wait. The count down has begun. I'm not sure yet other than going to Sedona what we are going to do, but whatever it is, it shall be fun and relaxing and have nothing to do with 15+ hours a week of ot. Here comes to having problems of trying to figure out what to do with my days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star3.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; Daisy. I am sure it is not natural to love a car as much as I do, but I so love my car. I love to drive her. I love to sing along to country songs while I make my small commute to work in the morning. I just love all the looks and compliments I get on her. She is a beauty and all mine. I still pinch myself to make sure it is real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star3.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; My husband is hands down the best man in the entire known and unknown universe of doom. He keeps me sane. He keeps me loved. He supports me no matter what. When I have a bad day, all I need to do is put on his eyes and I see all the love he has for me, and nothing can ever make me feel bad as I see all that. He honestly is my biggest cheerleader. I've never been so fully adored and needed before in my life. It humbles me and keeps me firmly rooted in the clouds of love. Not everything is perfect, but it is perfect for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/Pixels/Tiny%20Pixels/colorful-star3.gif" loading="lazy"&gt; Secret World of Doom. I've fallen hard for this little computer game. It is quite awesome and helps me when I've had a bad day to be able to blast away at zombies and demons. Nothing feels better than being able to destroy the living undead to make my stress slip away. This probably makes me sound more violent than I actually am. I highly recommend this to those who love computer games. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/Bubbly/010-sanne-by_bubbly.gif" border="0" alt="blinkie made by jackie" title="blinkie made by jackie" loading="lazy"&gt;</content>

    <title>Actually Update of Doom!</title>
    <published>2012-08-06T00:13:04Z</published>
    <updated>2012-08-06T00:13:04Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it has been forever since an actual update from moi. Never fear it is finally here! I am back from St. Louis and have been for a little bit. It didn&amp;#39;t last as long as I hoped it would be it was a good experience all around. I wish I had more time to do more tourist things while I was there and of course I&amp;#39;m sad I didn&amp;#39;t get a chance to visit with Bubbly, but one day I shall be back and we shall meet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is crazy busy. I&amp;#39;m on an awesome sauce team, but alas my spiffy supervisor is leaving soon. I do not know who will be taking her place, but all I hope is they are just as awesome and spiffy as she was/is. I&amp;#39;m working tons of hours, 12 hour days, and even on Saturday. I average around 15-20 + hours a week. The extra pay is nice, but at the same time, it can be a bit overwhelming too. I feel like there is not enough hours in the day, for the things I&amp;#39;d like to do. Like graphics, working out, reading, sleeping, eating, spending any time with the hubs and cleaning. Thank goodness I am blessed with an understanding and helpful husband of doom. He has stepped in and really taking over the care of the pets and the house while I&amp;#39;m bogged down with work and getting school done on time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of school, I&amp;#39;ve done something I&amp;#39;ve never done before in my life. I got an A in math. Not an A-, or a B-, but a solid honest to goodness A. If I am honest I enjoyed the class and wish I was getting my degree in math itself. I never in the entire world thought I would say those words out loud, or even think them, but there they are. I might get a master in the math field. I&amp;#39;m debating it. I don&amp;#39;t know what I would do with it, but I might pursue it more. We shall see, I have plenty of time to think of a masters, for the time being I need to just concentrate on getting the bachelor&amp;#39;s done first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m now taking classes that are for my degree itself. My current class is servant leadership. The class might not be bad, but the instructor is awful with a capital A. I don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;ve ever seen someone hate the job of teaching a class before in my life, but she is it. It will be interesting to see what happens. I&amp;#39;m debating dropping it or seeing if another instructor teaches it. I will wait to see how I do on my first paper and go from there. She is just not friendly in any way shape or form. I don&amp;#39;t think that I&amp;#39;m paying money to take a course that I fear having to ask anything of the instructor at all. Really? Really? Why bother teaching, if you don&amp;#39;t want to help your students understand what they are learning or how they need to do assignments. It isn&amp;#39;t like her syllabus is any greater help. Like I said, I&amp;#39;m playing it by ear, but I gave up years ago having to be stuck with bad professors. I want to learn, and if they are not going to help support that, I will find someone who is. I will vote with my funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is odd how I&amp;#39;ve become a bit stronger in my life. I&amp;#39;ve shut off credit cards that have stupid yearly fees. I&amp;#39;m not paying people to not use cards. I have them there in case there is some kind of emergency, where I don&amp;#39;t want to dip into my savings account. No more of that stupidity. I&amp;#39;m getting my credit in better shape than it ever has been. I&amp;#39;m taking it seriously, and really working to get things in better and better order. I really do want to get the mortgage in my name only. I love my mom helped me out with it, but I don&amp;#39;t want her to feel I might mess up her good credit at all. I know she doesn&amp;#39;t but I don&amp;#39;t want her to feel any possibility of that at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is funny how I feel more grown up and am happier than I ever have been. I also took a big step and opted to finally make a big purchase I&amp;#39;ve never made before. I bought a brand new car. An actually brand new car. The only owner of the car is me. I&amp;#39;ve always gotten used. I&amp;#39;ve always gotten the sound choice. I never bought a car that I wanted in my heart of hearts. It was what worked with my payment, or what would be the most prudent of choices. Fehs to all that. If I&amp;#39;m going to have to make a car payment, why shouldn&amp;#39;t it be on a car I love? I have a commute now, and it can be brutal on my soul. So why not drive something that makes me happy? That I don&amp;#39;t mind writing out that monthly check to. A car that when I get to work I&amp;#39;m sad to have to leave behind. I&amp;#39;ve wanted this car since I was 16 old and learned to drive. It was such a huge dream come true moment for me when I drove it off the lot. Despite the issues with the dealership, my credit was solid, they just couldn&amp;#39;t get their paperwork right for the life of them, but she is mine and I ended up with a better deal than I had before. They kept messing up my paperwork, which kept making my payment go down and down. I am just a little bit above what I was before, but I have gap insurance, spiffy security system, and extended warranty. I need to figure out who are great icon makers and blinkie people, to make me some pretties to do justice for her. I&amp;#39;ll put her behind a cut, but without any further moment, I give you my pride and joy, Daisy of Doom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/2012-07-15_10-52-37_787.jpg" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/Hisescape/8-examplebyrel.gif" title="blinkie made by the talented hisescape" alt="blinkie made by the talented hisescape" loading="lazy"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">My computer is crapping out on me. I got some bade mojo and it is eating it alive. The hubs is looking at it, but I'm not sure if it will be fixed or not. I've lost everything. All graphics made for me within the last year, gone, fonts, gone, all my own private works, gone. There are not enough tears in the world right now. My laptop also is a mess, so that is not an option right now. If you see anything I requested can you email it to me? Also I will try and update and that when I can. I hope to get it fixed or worse comes to worse, get a new one. It doesn't help the one I would like to have is quite out of budget. But my eyes might be bigger than my pocket book. Fehs, I might have to give up gaming for a bit, just to get a machine so I can do my school work. Nothing like taking on line courses with one computer in the house of doom. Fehs, on the bright side, work is going well. Really really well. We are busy and I got a promotion. So very happy, it is great department and team I'm on. I'm so lucky. Welp, I'm off to pick up the hubs from work and keeping things crossed he is able to fix it or Frankenstein it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Darkling</content>

    <title>Small Update Before Bed</title>
    <published>2012-03-26T07:57:32Z</published>
    <updated>2012-03-26T08:06:13Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone is doing well. Class is going well, so far I'm getting an A. I'm looking forward to it being over though, as it is just an over view of what is needed to do courses on line with the college. I am very much looking forward to the actual classes themselves. I don't think we are going to be able to go to the Ren Faire this year, with work and games it doesn't look like we will have time. But that's alright, there is always going to be next year. I'm going to try out a new lemon dessert recipe this week. I'll post pictures and let you know how it turns out. It feels good to try my hand at baking and see if I can make any go of it. Sorry this is going to be short, my bed is calling me. I'll try and update more and I have some great new graphics to offer this week. I'm just waiting to see the results of my test with the doctor before I offer them up. I want to make sure I don't have to do any additional testing and that work will not have ot either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Night Night All!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies2/Italic/italic-FWAN17-darklingfae-1.gif" border="0" title="Blinkie made by Italic" alt="Blinkie made by italic" fetchpriority="high"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry I've been quiet I've been so busy with work and getting an awful cold of doom. I'll try and keep this little update short and sweet, and what better way to do that but in bullet form!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Oscars are boring, it is the best way for me to get sleepy without having to take any cold medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I start my class tomorrow. I've my bio all done and am just waiting for it to be Monday to be able to post it. I'm so jazzed to get back into the college swing of things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- My new desk is awesome. Money well spent. Only draw back is the pit bull of doom loves it sit under it as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The huge work project of doom is almost over. This will be the last week of it, the 2/29 project is coming to an end. Whews. It has been a learning experience and I've loved every stressed filled moment of it. This new dept and team just keeps getting better and better. I cannot believe I'm getting paid to work there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- My cold is almost over with. The fever is gone and my throat does not feel like it is ripping apart. Oddly, the thing that has helped the most was the over the counter allergy medicine of doom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you all had good weekends and are doing well!

    <title>Long Time No Update</title>
    <published>2012-02-11T02:47:32Z</published>
    <updated>2012-02-11T02:47:32Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Hello All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry if I've been a bit quiet lately. Work has been in over drive, I've done already 13+ hours this week and shall be putting in roughly 12 to 15 hours of ot until the end of Feb. I will be working tomorrow, so until noon tomorrow I won't be able to relax and unwind. But once that noon Saturday hits, I'm on weekend time! I cannot wait. The nice thing is I love what I do. I've learned tons. I have a great team. I have a great new supervisor and I truly am blessed it all worked out for the best in the move over here. The drive in the morning and at night can wear on me, but if I get some good tunes loaded to bring with me, it shouldn't be too bad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hubs took V-day off, so there went my big surprise plan. So Plan B is to go out to a movie and dinner or play the entire thing by ear. It will be nice to have a week day off work. To sleep in without having to get up to the alarm clock. I cannot believe I'll get the entire day alone with the hubs. I'm not an overly fly by the seat of the pants person. I plan everything out to the tiniest detail, so it will be good for me to just have a day that goes where it goes and enjoy the ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did get accepted into college again. I will start my first class Feb. 27th. I cannot wait! I will have my diploma Dec. 2013 and will finally be able to call myself a college graduate. I hope I can get to the finish line this time. The hubs is super duper supportive of doom. I just need to buckle down right from the start and take everything seriously and I should be fine. I can do it. I know I can. This will be a huge dream come true for me. Than I need to really think about what I want to do with a masters, but first  Bachelors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got little guy snipped. He did wonderful and you wouldn't even know he had any kind of surgery after. He is healing nicely and they are dissolvable stitches so we don't have to have a follow up visit. I also opted to get his teeth cleaned as well since he was going to be under. He is happy as can be and I think it will be better for him in the long run. We never breed any of our pets, so he was the only one we had left to get fixed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not much else is happening. I will post more this weekend, have to go pick up the hubs from work. Love and miss you all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p180/darklingfae/Darklingfae/My%20Personal%20Graphics/Blinkies/Hesmyanchor/darklingfae_purplefairy_lilmommaabc.gif" border="0" alt="Blinkie made by hesmyanchor" title="Blinkie made by hesmyanchor" fetchpriority="high"&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hey All,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry I've not been as active as I would like to be. I'm currently working 50+ hours a week, and when I come home, I just eat dinner, crawl into bed, get up the next day and start the long day over again. I'm going to be a bit quiet until the end of Feb. We have a huge push of loans we need to get through by the end of Feb., so it is going to be ot up the ying yang until that time. I will be back in action at the end of Feb. I really will try and update more often on Sunday's when I have free time, no work on Sundays! Woo hoo! Miss and love you all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Darkling</content>
