Well, let's see. In the last year since my blog updated, I've worked at a smoke shop. I was also given a managers position for 2 stores then been given 2 more. I'm in love with this new pet I was given; 47 year old Red Lored Amazon Parrot named JoJo. And I have watched my daughter turn into this semi-athletic rambunctious amazing ball of chaos.
Nothing short of Beautiful Chaos has filled my life in the last year. And boy, am I proud but also exhausted at the same time. (lol)
So much has changed since i started this blog.
I've been thru so much and i have survived even MORE than i ever thought that i could stand. I wont lie & say that im "okay" but im still here and thats all i can do. Wake up and live each day for what it is. Another day i have.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say i have A NEW JOB and im loving it, honestly!
I've been working at a smoke/vape shop for about 2 weeks and so far its been really great. the hours are good and since a new store will be opening up in BRAZORIA soon im even more excited. that store will be my main location and i'll have been a part of that store since it's first day *love it*
We have so many items!! hand pipes, water pipes, e-nail, dabs, carts of cbd and delta 8, nicotine disposables, delta 8 & cbd flower, gummies and of course kratom.
i've learned so much about this store & its contents!
Stay Tuned for MUCH more to come!!!
As much frustration as you all seem to have with your city officials, most everyone did get out alive except for people who drove into flood waters. Our death toll has and will be far far less than Katrina which was a weaker storm. I think our officials did the best they could with the little time they had.
People are pissed at Bay City for being evacuated. Others are pissed for not being evacuated soon enough.
It's up to you, not the government, to make sure you and your family is safe. We all knew about this storm my Wednesday evening, Thursday morning at the latest. If you don't watch the news, it was all over our newsfeeds. I'm not trying to be rude.. Just trying to explain so next time you can get you and your family out long before the officials ever call for you to do so. We played it safe and got us and our family to safety Thursday morning. We were still in the red but we got us to higher ground.
It is also my understanding that most shelters especially in Matagorda County and the outer lying areas were accepting pets. I have several friends who stayed at shelters with theirs.
There was no excuse to stay behind. I can say that even knowing my dad was one of the idiots who stayed behind. Just because everyone else is staying in a town about to be leveled doesn't mean that you should.
This is the coast and we all knew it was only a matter of time before a storm like this hit. Everyone should have had an escape plan long before this storm ever showed up. Why should the government have to tell you to be safe?

This is just a little something, written by a friend of mine, Katie Kidney
Last Wednesday, Texans woke up to a little bitty tropical storm knocking on their coastline. We all shook our heads at it and went along our way.
Then, we were forced to evacuate our little lakeside lot. We were upset, confused, and frustrated. We really didn't have the means to evacuate, but evacuate we did.. Across town. We weren't sure we were far enough from harm's way, but we knew this storm would be a Category 1 at best.
You all know now that we were terribly wrong but by the time Texans knew this, it was already too late for many of us to evacuate. We knew if we evacuated we probably wouldn't make it back. So we stayed.
For six days, we went without electricity - and for three of those days, we were cut off completely from the outside world - except for those friends who kept me updated via text. I owe Delta Book, Andi Leigh Bradford, and Walter Thompson so many thanks for keeping me updated..
But nothing prepared me for the images and the footage of my home. The destruction goes on for miles and miles along our coast and my stomping grounds are either filled with flood waters, about to be, or flattened to the ground.
All of my friends got out alive. Some have nothing to return to. If you can donate to Texas, please do, but even if you don't, remember, Texas HAS seen worse, and Texas WILL rebuild.
And if you say something about how Texans deserve this, well, honey, we will just bless your heart and continue helping one another (I bet you expected violence from me, huh? 😂)
Two things to remember about us down here: We are #TexasStrong but we are also #TexasKind.
Hurricane Harvey can kiss all of our asses.
Harvey In Brazoria County has been keeping up with all of the goings on, during the last week. This devastating storm took over the major areas from just west of Rockport to, just east of the Louisiana/Texas borders.
Nothing has been easy on anyone, except helping. This storm has brought so many people together by volunteering, it's absolutely amazing.
There's shelters opening thier doors to humans and animals. The county fairgrounds has more animals than they can count, but they're all safe. Schools have become a shelter or safe haven. It's just absolutely heartbreaking to see the photos and videos and witnessing all the devastation that has occured since tropical storm Harvey, became a Category 3, then 4, Hurricane on August 24, 2017.
Many homes, lost forever. Others lost for weeks. Animals, pets and loved ones have been left behind. This entire week has been so emotional for so many people and it's not quite over yet.
The rains have stopped, but the rivers haven't reached their peak yet and are said to continue on the rise till some time tomorrow (Thursday).
I would like to keep going, but this is all I wanted to convey for now.
Please, be safe. Stay dry.
Well, yesterday....my goober baby aka Fatso, was playing with my father at my parents home like she does all the time. She likes to run across the room, jump into a bean bag chair and slide the rest of the way across the living room.... Well.... yesterday (4-19-15) she did one of her regular jumps into said chair, and instead did a home plate slide into the bean bag chair on their hard wood floor, the chair stopped and fatso kept going....chin first into the floor. Me, the hubs and Murphy & groucho were just trying to keep calm.... then I saw blood and we jet out like a bat outta hell.....After 5 hrs of waiting, fatso got 5 stitches in the meat portion of the bobo and 8 on the top layers of skin....She screamed and pleaded to make the doc stop and that she had to pee, and that she was hot, and sweating and scared. For 35 min she pleaded and screamed. They washed and cleaned and numbed and did shot after shot....finally we left and soon after walking out, other than pain, she was fine. The process itself exhausted her poor body. She was however up at 5 am bright eyed and Bushey tailed lol.
We took the bandaid that was protecting the area off today and now she's leary of anything touching it or even looking at it....She's being so good about being careful tho. My big girl.
to love is to lie.
but with out lies,
there's no truth in life
That's needed to be found.
for within life itself,
lies are only becoming truth,
but only long enough
to make us loose perspective.
through tough lies & hard lives
has thruth been lost and found? finding them, believing them,
leaves us running round & round...
To much aingst, and pent up emotions....I blame this on love and other drugs such as my friend...my glass of moscato WINE.
