Update

Well, I finally have been able to check all your blogs and update this one. I've been without a computer since early Saturday morning. It has crashed and I am not computer savvy enough to repair it myself. I've contemplated getting it repaired as well as saying f**k it and buy a whole new one. My only concern was that I wanted to get all my pictures from my hard drive and save them to a CD or something.

So, this means that I will only have limited access to the internet until I fix the computer issues. This really sucks but what can I do?

Some Quizzes

I just saw this quiz on Pizzle's blog and had to test myself. this is what I came up with:

You're an Expert Kisser

You're a kissing pro, but it's all about quality and not quantity You've perfected your kissing technique and can knock anyone's socks off And you're adaptable, giving each partner what they crave When it comes down to it, your kisses are truly unforgettable

What Kind of Kisser Are You?

I never knew I was that good. I was always told I was a great kisser but this now confirms it.

I am also:

Your Passion is Purple

Sophisticated and classy, you're a bit picky about sex. You're more likely to be turned on by a fancy hotel room than a dirty flick. Sex is fine enough, as long as it doesn't mess up your hair. For you, sex is more about power and favors than actually pleasure.

What Color Is Your Passion?

The newest member of the family

I just showed Jimmy the pics that I posted of all of us and he so kindly reminded me that we have another family member. It is the newest one. It's name is King Connie because we don't know if it is a male or female. It is an Indian Redtail Boa Constrictor. It's only a foot long now but it could grow up to between 10 and 15 feet long. Let's just hope it doesn't.

*Jimmy was so nice to let me model the snake for him. I'm so great at sarcasm, don't you think?

Me and Jimmy

This is me and Jimmy on our one year anniversary in 2002.

Well, there you have it. I figured out how to post pics but I must say it is a pain in the ass to do.

Some Family Pics

This is my 5 year old Dalmatian, Pebbles. I have had her since she is 3 months old and she is my baby.











This is Belle. She is my 13-week old Lab and the newest edition to my family.

Kind of Inspiring

I just received this email from my very close friend, Ismaru and I thought I would share it with everyone because it is so very true.


Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I
am with you..

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you
cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.

4.. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your
heart

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them
knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is
falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the
world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their
time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right
one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be
grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do
is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time
around

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and
know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?

Hardly anyone I know ! But some of us have all right friends and good
friends!!!

Hubby

I haven't yet fully introduced you to my hubby, Jimmy. Jimmy is a great guy and he has put up with a lot of my shit. We have been together a little over 7 years and have been married for almost 5. Jimmy is a big teddy bear. He can be very mushy too. I've seen him cry on a number of occasions and I totally love it. There is also a very dopey side to Jimmy as well. Jimmy is extremely forgetful. He can truly put something down and completely forget about it in a matter of seconds. We've been through lost wallets 2 times and it was not fun either time. I have also seen my wonderful husband change almost 180 degrees since we've been together. When I first met him, he was going from job to job and didn't have a high school diploma. I don't try to push him but I have helped him to realize that just existing is not always the best way to live your life. He has received his GED, he got his license back, he has a job as an E.R. tech for almost 3 years and he wants to go back to school for nursing.

I don't think I could ever find such a great guy again. He really is forgiving and trusting and very loving and sometimes I feel that I don't deserve his love. Even though he hasn't read my blog yet, I want him to know that I love him more today than I ever did before and I can't wait to make him a daddy.

I wish I knew how to post pictures because I would post some pics of me and him and my poochies, Pebbles and Belle. I'm still working on the pics.

What I need

I was reading Lipstick Covered Lies today and saw this and I just had to check it out. Here is what I came up with.

1. Marina needs Ambassadors. (I didn't know I was so important to need them, but ok)
2. Marina needs a small restaurant and a picnic area with shrubs. (ok, if they say so)
3. Marina needs a facelift. (Hell no. I'm great the way I am. LOL)
4. Marina needs prayer. (I do, especially since I am trying to have a baby. I could use all the prayers I can get)
5. Marina needs her rest. (I do. I never get enough sleep these days)

Finally Tagged!!
