Fighting Sleep To Fight MD.
You all must be wondering what this is about. well let me explain what MD is. MD stands for muscular dystrophy. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of illnesses which affects the muscles, making them deteriorate over time. There are 42 forms of muscular dystrophy. now for the fighting sleep to fight MD project. What this is, is a fund raiser which raises money to help with research and medical equipment for the patients. I stay up all 21 hours of the MDA telethon, and if I stay up all 21 hours people who wish to can donate money to my local MDA office. No amount is to small. This fund raiser starts on September 5, 2010 and goes through the 6th of September. The deadline for your donation is October 5th. Please send your donations to:

that’s a question I ask myself a lot tonight. the reason I ask this is because today I was playing with Julius. he started acting strange, nudging me with his paw and whining. thinking he needed to go out, I took him outside and let him go. however, he refused to leave my side and kept nudging me with his paw and whining. I took him back inside, and started playing with him again. after about five minutes of this, he started licking me non stop. after about three or so minutes, I saw the flash of light, that means that I am getting a migraine. could he have predicted it for me, even before it struck? if so, how did he know

Hey all!
well we thought it best to get the pups earlier. we got one for me, and one for my nieces. mine is sound asleep beside me, in a box we have till we can get a bed, which will be tomorrow. he is the cutest little thing, but you guys probably already know that. mom and I gave him his first bath tonight, and I just have to say, I am glad mom helped, because he is so small, I was a bit scared of hurting him. he didn’t like the bath much, but after it was done and I dried him off, he got tired, so off to bed he went. he’s already woken up once, and it looks like the potty training is going well. I am not sure how much posts will be posted to this for awhile, but I gotta get him settled in, get him in to the swing of things, get him all the way potty trained Etc. anyway, I’ll be crashing very very soon, I am tired.

Hey all!
I have a question for anyone who uses gold wave. how on earth do you make two tracks and mix them together? could someone please help me here? maybe send me a PM and giving me the steps, maybe posting a comment here? I am using jaws ten. thanks.

today I had a massive migraine. one that made me feel really shaky. well I was asleep. I woke up to the feel of something licking my face. and when I reached down, there was Julius, laying on my chest, licking my face to wake me up. my youngest niece had brought him in and laid him there for me. it is so nice to be woken up by a puppy! I got to spend time with him, and I know this much, I know for sure now, he is made for me! I can’t wait to get him in nine days! nine days and he’ll be mine forever and I can spoil him, like I did gypsy! granted, I still miss gypsy, but Julius has been helping me so much.

I know
by CMP.
I know that you are gone,
I know you can never talk about peace again.
But I will,
I will keep your message alive.
I know you don’t want us to grieve,
And I know you are happy,
But it’s hard not to grieve,
It’s hard to be happy, because I know,
The world lost,
A grate teacher,
And a wonderful poet.
I know you are having a blast in heaven,
With your two brothers and your sister,
And I know you got a hug from god,
Like you wanted to.
I know how hard it must be,
To look down on this world,
And you think you didn’t help us,
But you did,
You showed us,
That there is so much fighting,
So much hate,
So much wrong doing.
I know you are wondering,
What people think of you,
All of us
Are sad that you are gone,
All of us
Wish you can come back,
All of us,
Wish we could still hear you speak,
Of love and peace,
Joy and Heartsongs
And we all were inspired by you.
I know you wanted,
To have peace in this world,
And you felt like you didn’t acomplish that,
But you did,
In a big way,
You helped me see,
That I can help,
Spread your message of peace.
And I will,
I will help keep your message alive.
Now, and forever.
And now that you know,
What I know,
You can rest in peace mattie,
Knowing that,
Your message won’t die,
Knowing that,
You are still in my heart
Now and forever.

not much has been happening lately, but as usual I have not updated this in forever so I thought I better do it now. my pup will be coming on July fourth, and it feels as if it’s going so slowly! the MDA has not called yet, and I called to see what was going on. the person I talked to told me that they don’t know, because the people over the talent portion is a third party thing, so she told me “I know it’s frustrating, but I’m afraid you will have to wait.” I am not as patient as I seem to be, believe me, waiting is killing me! I rehearse everyday and hope I can do it, I pray I make it, because I do feel this is my heartsong. anyway, I’ll go for now.

today has been totally amazing! I went to a talent show that was held in my niece’s school, and loved every minute of it. when we got there people greeted me, I went to this school in kindergarten, and some of the teachers remembered me. one of the staff members pulled me aside and asked me to be a guest singer for the talent show. I was not expecting this, and at first said I was not prepared. however mom whispered to me,
“honey, I would do it.” and while I was unprepared, I went ahead and did it, because I felt like I needed the practice singing in front of crowds. these people are from my small town so I did not feel as intimidated by them. granted I was not a member of the show itself, but I gave it my best, and was surprised by the reaction I received after the song was over. I sang “you’ll never walk alone.” a lot of the staff thanked me for a great performance, and while my voice did crack at the start, I guess no one really noticed. I believe if they do this next year, I am going prepared, just in case I am asked again. oh and also, I will get to see my pup tomorrow! isn’t that awesome?

got to see my dog tonight. you guys, nothing is as moving is having a puppy, who’s eyes are just opening fall asleep in your arms, and cuddle up to you. the mommy was keeping a watchful eye on him, and I did not mind that. I even showed her that I was not hurting the pup. my neighbor and friend put the pup in my arms, and let me hold him for a few minutes. almost at once he cuddled up to me, and stopped crying. he lay in my arms, and kind of fell asleep, letting me hold him. when it was time to go, I didn’t want to hand him back, but he is not old enough to be taken away from his mother just yet, he is still nursing Etc. she told me she would try to bring him out tomorrow, let me hold him longer, let him bond with me. Julius is a precious gift, and it was as if he was meant for me.

I have some Exciting news, I am getting a new puppy in about 6 or 8 weeks. he is all black, except for two of his paws, which are white. I had fought to find a name, and mom and I talked about it, his name is Julius Windle. there are dogs named max, there are dogs named bubba, but none of them that I know of are called Julius. I fell in love with the pup, and the pup seems to like me. it’s as if it was made for me. I can’t wait to see him again, and I can not wait to have him in my house, and I can take care of him. I am not saying gypsy is replaced, I am not saying she is forgotten, but I feel happier since I got the dog. he is still with his mom, and will be there for 6 to 8 weeks, but I already clamed him. anyway, that is the new addition to our family.
