1-800-GHOST-BUSTERS

So as I’ve mentioned before, we road into Savannah while in Harbor Island to partake in a Ghost Trolley tour. Even though the events on the way there and back were horrible, I had a fun time with Rans. The tour was very informative and our tour guide was hands down off the chain. Her voice was what really got me and her evil laugh was so spot on. She made the stories fun to listen to. I also took tons of pictures but since it wasn’t dark yet, I didn’t get any orbs.

After the tour was over, I had Rans drive back by the cemetery so I could take some more pictures since it was turning dark. I didn’t know if I caught anything until I got home and looked at them on my computer. Wow, I caught a lot actually. The most orbs were found around the mass grave in the center of the cemetery were evidently six hundred sixty-six people were buried. Kind of creepy, eh? They were buried during the Yellow Fever epidemic so the tour guide informed us. Another interesting tidbit is how the Spanish moss grows all around the town of Savannah except in one square where this guy was buried who hated Spanish moss. I found that interesting. I know, I know, you really want to see the pictures so here are a few.

Those are only a few of my pictures. I tried to pick the ones with the best orbs that can be seen when resized. I am about to head out to run some errands with my mom. Tomorrow is Rans’ birthday so I am getting all of his birthday goodies squared away. I would say what I’m getting him but he knows my blog address so I’d rather not say! We also need to pick up the siblings school supplies. Lovely. I will post more pictures from vacation in the next coming days. I have a final on Thursday for English and another quiz on Thursday for Art but am unsure of when my Art final is. So until next time, later lovelies!!

Ohh, it’s so crazy!

So enough of all the stress and other stuff revolving around my hectic life. I’ve been keeping my mind on other things. Although this morning has been okay between me and my sister. It felt like old times but I am not dropping my guard down. I’m just done with fighting and feeling uncomfortable. I’m just going to be me and if that isn’t what people want, too bad. I’m me and that’s all I will ever be. I know that I have faults just like anyone else but I’ve been trying to work on them. I used to be a negative person all the time because I was used to constantly being let down. Now, I realize that it was me that allowed myself to be let down by putting faith in the wrong types of people. So, I’ve been working on having a positive attitude and finding the positives in every situation.

Moving right along, I’ve been wanting to paint my room for so long it isn’t even funny. For my past birthday, last September, my mom bought me the comforter set that I wanted. It’s my fave colors and so my style. It’s a plaid with colors that are “all me” so to say. Since then, I’ve been wracking my brain over what color to paint my room. I keep saying I’m going to go get samples but never do. One day before vacation, I saw a Home Depot commercial talking about their Behr paint that already had the primer in it and they sold little samples. So when we got home from vacation, the next day me and Rans took a trip to Home Depot to get paint samples. I got two samples because I’m trying to decide between a yellow or green. I love both but I’m really leaning toward the yellow because it will make my room all bright and cheery. I also want to paint an accent wall which will be the green. So, I thought I’d post a picture of the painted squares along with my new comforter pattern and see what you lovelies thought of the color. So I bring to you, my new colors:

Ignore the ugly hunter green because I want to get rid of it. Uh oh, my step-dad needs me to shut down my computer because he’s repairing a light switch in the hallway to our attic fan since it keeps shocking the piss out of all of us. So until next time, later lovelies!

I’m at a loss

The first part of my vacation was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed the beach and spending time with Rans was definitely high up on my list. We all got along as a family and really enjoyed each others company. However, the day before we left that all changed. On Thursday, we went to Savannah to go on a ghost trolley and tour the city. It was just me, Rans, my mom, Donna, and Beth. I thought everything was going fine but evidently Beth and Donna were texting about me the whole ride there and back. Evidently per them Rans needed to slap the shit out of me and I needed to be put into my place. Beth also said that she was moving out because she’s so tired of me.

I didn’t find all of this out until the next day when I went to use Beth’s cellphone to call my mom. I left my cellphone at home, I’m a genius I know. So I went to text my mom since she wasn’t answering but went to the outbox by accident since I only have to press two buttons and my phone will go to “create a message” but Beth’s won’t. In the outbox I saw my name mentioned so of course, I read. I was completely floored and felt really betrayed. I just couldn’t believe Beth was talking about me but then when I saw who the texts were to I was floored even more. I guess I’ve always been the type that if I have a problem with you, I tell you to your face. I don’t lay around and hide my feelings so I can talk about you when you go out of a room. First off, I can’t believe my sister would do that because I considered Beth my best friend. This isn’t the first time she has done this to me though. I finally got a hold of my mom and told her what was going on and she was pretty mad herself.

Later that afternoon she told Beth and Donna they needed to face things and get it out in the open because the whole day they ignored my mom and me and Beth had her little huffy attitude. When it all came out my step-dad tried to say I had Donna’s phone and put his two cents in. First off, he needs to stay out because when he drinks he imagines shit and that pissed my mom off even more. She knows when I am telling the truth and if I am not and so she knew I WAS being honest unlike everyone else. Needless to say Beth decided to show her ass and try to swing and push on me. While trying to hit me she hit my mom. Yeah, that pissed me off even more so I shoved her in the corner of the door frame. I wouldn’t hit her but if she kept on I would have dropped her to the ground to defend myself. It’s kind of funny that I was the only one that handled myself with maturity and tactfulness. Beth wanted to fight and Donna wanted to be silent. I just don’t understand people at all.

Right now, I’m at a loss because I don’t know how to act anymore. Beth acts like nothing has happened but her half-assed apology isn’t going to put a bandaid over this wound. To be honest, I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t trust her and I feel betrayed. Feelings like that don’t change over night. I was upset all day yesterday because I was really bugging over what I should say or do because I feel weird about the whole situation. Luckily, I have an amazing boyfriend who helped me through everything. Rans just told me that I can’t make people change and I don’t need that in my life. Yes, I do have to live with her but that doesn’t mean we have to be friends again. I can be civil without setting myself up to be betrayed by her yet again. She really needs to grow up and realize that how she acts is the spitting image of her mother which is someone she hates. When she tried to fight me, that proved exactly who she is like. You don’t handle situations like that, you talk things out. I guess I’ve really proved that I have grown up a lot lately because six months ago I would have busted her ass like there was no tomorrow. I used to let my anger get the best of me and that is one thing I’ve really worked on toning down and I think I’ve succeeded.

I really felt like I needed to blog and get that out there since it’s really been bugging me and eating away at me. Now, I really do feel better. All of the stress from that was far from what I needed considering I’m in the last week and a half of full session and then next Tuesday I have my substitute teacher training course in the morning so I can officially sub! I have a lot going on for me in my life and I’m trying to not let things bog me down. I’ve now come to the realization that I do deserve more out of my life and I won’t take less than I deserve! So until next time, later lovelies.

Life is AMAZING

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. I can’t help it really; I’ve been uber busy with family and school. In good news, I seem to have my school finally under control some what. I have been feeling a lot more confident in my writing. Regardless over what my professor thinks, I am proud of my work and that is all that matters in the end. The only bad thing is my test in English over fiction and drama terms didn’t go so well in my opinion. Half of the terms were not defined in the book or on the DVD’s. Thankfully, everyone else felt the same way and wasn’t able to find all the terms either. Hopefully I did okay but if not, it’s not a big deal. I have decided to just let things flow and try my best. If my best isn’t good enough then that’s okay because I did not slack off in anyway.

In other news, the whole health issue with my mom worked out as well. The doctor ran all the tests and blood panels which came back fine. Her doctor believes it’s related to her back. My mom is upset that it is her back since it seems to be the root of all evil but thankful at the same time that it is not something worse. I am just glad my mom is okay. Lord knows, I’m a momma’s girl and when my momma isn’t doing so well neither am I.

Oh the big news would be I am at the beach. Harbor Island, South Carolina to be exact. It’s between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA right beside Hilton Head Island in the lowcountry. It is absolutely amazing here. The trip up here was quite eventful as it took us an hour to get around Cedartown which is ten minutes from our house due to all of the road work. Our GPS ended up getting us lost. I was trying to rely on MapQuest because their directions made more sense and would be less highways but the GPS wanted us to go major highways the whole way. Luckily, we found our way after a little while. The really cool thing was going behind the airport where the plans take off. When we were going onto I-75 from I-285 there was a plane landing that went right over our car. It was kind of scary but neat at the same time seeing the plane take up all of our vision at that moment and hearing the engines even above our already loud radio. I’ve never been on a plane or even seen what a real plane looks like. Sure, I’ve seen the little planes at our local airport that houses planes people fly for hobbies but never a commercial jet like from Delta or whatever.

After going through Savannah, the ride to Harbor Island was beautiful with all of the scenery of marshes and the ocean. I loved the bridges even though they freak my mom out. After we got here, we immediately went down to the beach. It was so pretty and Jack enjoyed himself being the curious little pup that he is. The owner of our house left us two bottles of wine, free vouchers for chocolates, and even brought us milk since we didn’t get a chance to go to the store and brought Jack some frosty paws ice cream. Jack is in Heaven and so are we. The thing that was neat about the beach is how the tide is out so there were sand bars so we could go even further out. Hopefully the tide will come back in so we can get some fun in the ocean. Until it does, we’ve had fun playing in the sand and collecting sea shells. We’ll be headed to the pool later as well.

This trip is exactly what I needed. Sitting on the beach last night really put things in perspective and made me realize how amazing life is. I just think people need a chance to get away and reflect. It made me so thankful for the little things in life God has provided me with. I have Him to thank for everything in my life.

I will blog later when I have time! For now, I’m going to take a short nap before going sight seeing and then to Wal Mart to get some things we need for later in the week. I can’t wait until we decide to go into Savannah! Donna’s friend went to Paula Deen’s restaurant and met her so hopefully she will be there when we go. So until next time, later lovelies.
