One more short bit of sad news...Alonzo Mourning had to bid his NBA career goodbye today. He will need to have a kidney transplant. Even though I don't know Alonzo personally I will still keep himand his family in my prayers with my Naunie. I have enjoyed watching him play ball for a number of years and I am sad to see him go.
OH and I was FINALLY able to set my radio on my desk in a spot where I can hear 97.1 clearly now!! WHOO HOO!! I still can't get Ryan or Frank, but I'll deal with this for now!!

The only thing on my mind today is my Naunie. My mother called me this morning when I arrived at work to let me know that my Grandma (Naunie) isn't doing well. My parents received a call from the hospital at 2:am saying that they should come up there. My Gradnma had been doing better when my mother left her yesterday afternoon. Apparently she had some pain her side that they know see is some internal bleeding. They are trying to determine where the bleeding is coming from. She is in ICU right now listed as critical.
As I'm sure it would be for anyone...this is VERY upsetting to me. My immediate feeling is that I have to be home right now. My mother seems as if she doesnt want me to come home until it gets worse. What she doesnt understand is that I want to be there BEFORE that happens. If I need to say goodbye to my Grandma I want to do it when she can hear me. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! this sucks so bad.
My mother's parents both died when she was 19. They actually died within 2 months of each other. I never knew them and I can't even begin to imagine how hard that was on my Mother. She NEVER talks about it. I have never pressured her to either. To be honest I don't even know where they are buried. She goes there alone sometimes I guess. She never tells us.
I don't have any vacation time left at work so all the time I take off from now until Feb. 1 will be leave without pay!! Some girls that I work with are headed to Pennsylvania tomorrow and that is only 2 hours frommy momma n them. I want to go so bad. But I have to be at work. The other girls in the office took the day off so I have to be here to answer the phones. I also will not be able to pay my rent or any of my damn bills if I have to take off one more day without pay (I had to take one yesterday to be home with Sierra). And its like..I dont care!!! but I do! UGHHH!!!!
It's already lonely as hell here for the holidays now. I wasn't invited to spend the holiday with Quis. SO even if I can go to Kellys and grad a slice of turkey it still wont be the family atmosphere I want or need!! her grandparents just came in town to see her baby. I dunno....Im just really fucked up right now!! I am feeling many different things!! and none of them have to do with WORK!! UGHHH..I hate being at my desk right now...I just want to scream!!
Dear SHELBY,
You are in no mood for jokes at the moment. At home, the situation with your husband or children, which you normally tolerate with ease, will be totally unbearable today. But don't let your irritability get the better of you. Keep a cool head, compromise, and make the decisions necessary for a brighter tomorrow...
Okay not exactly the reading I was looking for on my daughter's birthday!! *sigh* I'mjust gonna go ahead and start taking deep breaths now so I can prepare myself for this evening.
My weekend sucked as usual. Who am I kidding??? I might as well be fyckin 80 right now!! UGHH!! I don't do shit! I am in a VERY bad mood today..I guess my friends could take this as a warning..my monster is here..do NOT fuck with me today!! okay..good!!
Friday night I chilled with Nicole and Mark. We had a nice boring evening in the house watching movies. Saturday afternoon I spent at Kelly with her and the baby watching the Bulldawgs beat Kentucky!! (WHOO HOO GO DAWGS)
That evening I was supposed to go downtown withs ome friends of mine. They never showed so I made plans with my friend Christy instead. I had to struggle for a sitter and after all that I ended up sitting home alone. Mark got mad at me and left. I dissed Bruce for Mark. Go figure!! *sigh*
Last night my friend Perez from back home (he lives in ATL now) stopped thru to see me on his way back from NC. He hung out for about 2 hours or so before heading back to ATL.
Quis called to say he would like to come by today for Sierra's birthday (still thinking about that one).
My Grandma (naunie) is still in the hopistal. They had polanned on releaing her yesterday, but after checking her heart rate and finding it rather adnormal they decided to keep her and have her see a cardio doc today. This situation has me very upset. I cant get home this week and its really pissing me off!!! I need to be with my Naunie right now. I hate being this far away.
Let me go start my day and try to shake off this horrible mood I'm in before someone gets cut up in herre!!!!

Dear SHELBY,
You may act out in a negative, aggressive manner in order to get attention from the ones you love, SHELBY. Instead of drawing people to you, you are actually driving people away from you. If you act as your normal, witty, kind self, people will naturally want to be around you. If you do this, you will be the center of attention without even trying. You don't need to put on any special act or become someone you are not in order to get the love you deserve.
The only thing on my mind this morning is my Grandma. My dad took her to the hospital yesterday afternoon and they are running tests for possible pneumonia. I spoke to her last night and she sounded very tired. She was on her second IV so at least she is getting something in her system. She hadn't been eating very much in the past week. Please keep my Naunie in your prayers!
On the happy side of things...today is friday! Tomorrow is the Bulldawgs last home game. They play Kentucky and a ticket to that game would complete my life. I actually met one of the guys the other day (heheh) he came over to my house to chill for a while (This is him) Yes he is an 80's baby..and I don't give a damn!! he is really cool and nice! at this point I am only concerned with how good someone is gonna treat me. And I want to have fun!!! we are planning on getting together again on Sunday after all the game stuff is outta the way. He is a senior this year so they are honoring the Seniors at this game *wishing I met his ass sooner so I could get a ticket to the game* DAMN!!
MsThing and I were talking the other day about an old school pic she found of her and her sister. It inspired me to look through my pictures. I have an online photo album through yahoo in which I already started and old school album. I added some more pictures to it yesterday. Here is one of Kim and I in the photo booth at Arnot Mall. Here is another one of Me and Kim...high as HELL!!! and this is me and Lacy hanging out donwtonw Ithaca at the playground.
Okay I'm gonna get my day started and post more in a little while!!
**Update - Christy just called and invited me to lunch! YAY! Christy is my cool person of the day since she is buying my lunch!! ;) we have to talk about her visit withHawk yesterday and my talk with Quis the other night!!
My sister also called about my drunk cousin Jody. He was calling her at all hours of the night saying he was trying to get a flight to Denver!! Lawd..I have NO idea what he is up to!! lets add Jody to our prayers!! ok!!!

Dear SHELBY,
You may find it quite difficult to focus on anything for any length of time today, SHELBY. This is common during times when the aspects are what they are on this day so take heart. Chances are everyone will feel these effects to some degree. Try to go about your tasks slowly and steadily without putting undue pressure on yourself. Not every day has to be a world record of production.
I was thinking last night about my blog. And about how I really don't share alot of things that happen with me day to day. And thats the whole reason why I started this thing to begin with. To have aplace to vent about all the crazythings that happen in my life. True..I do lead a rather boring life..but still you would be amazed at the amount of drama that comes along with that.
I am gonna try to blog better...so I can release some of this stress that I carry around.
I am really tired of stupid people at my job!! They can't do ANYTHING by themselves!! The students are the WORST! They feel like I am here working for THEM! in a sense maybe thats true! but NOT to the point where I will do something as simple as faxing or copying things their professor gave THEM to do! don't be throwing shit on me!! UGHH!!!
I am trying to practice my HTML skills. So if my blog appears to be REALLY jacked up at times..just ignore it until I can fix it!
Dear SHELBY,
You're right on target in terms of where you need to be and the direction you are headed in, SHELBY. There is an expansive feeling in the air today that is urging you to simply be yourself. Everyone you meet is validating your exuberance and zest for life. Synchronistic events are likely, as you find yourself always in the right place at the right time. Things are coming together in your favor, so make the most of this day.
*thinking about my reading* HMM....
Say it aint so Mike....*sigh* maybe this is a publicity thing related to the recent release of his new cd. Either way its a damn shame!!! UPDATE!!! more drama in Neverland!!
I am hungry as HELL right now!! I so badly want to walk across the street tothe Georgia Center and get some breakfast! BUT I have no loot..and I cant write a damn check either!! grrrrrrr!! The good news is today is Wednesday..free lunch day!! I hope they got something good!!
sheldawg at 11/19/2003 05:11:00 AM
Dear SHELBY,
If there's brainwork to be done today, SHELBY, you might want to put it off until tomorrow. It'll likely be your social side that is strongest. Recent aspects have lent a great deal to your ability to get things done, to organize and to focus but today, this has shifted to an energy that will suit your innate love of getting together with others. Let such activities refresh you and give you an opportunity to unwind. Laughter for you, Gemini is very therapeutic. See about creating as much of this as you possible can today.
First I would like to take this time to Congratulate the DAWGS on their big win over Auburn this weekend!!
And also my girl Kelly on her new baby Ava!! I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with her and was in the room during the delivery!! Ava is an even 8 lbs and 20 inches long!! she has the most beautiful dark hair!! Kelly is doing fine although she did have to have an emergency surgery after the delivery because she was loosing way too much blood. They have decided to keep her in the hospital a few extra days...so please pray for her!!
Other than that there hasn't been too much going on. Sierra's birthday is next week so I am trying to prepare for that. I am gonna take her to see the Dr. Seuss "Cat in the Hat". I can't wait!!! Then I will be off for 5.5 days for thanksgiving!! WHOO HOO!!
Oh and damn charter for making me miss the the American Music Awards....look at my Boi!! how can you NOT love him!! and Dammit...How could I miss DRE..UGHH!!! PLease tell me someone taped this show!
Dear SHELBY,
You are starting to feel a much more emotional reaction to a situation that may have been brewing for quite a while, SHELBY. Up until now you may have chosen to deal with the situation on only a mental level so you wouldn't get too deeply involved with the outcome. Things are starting to come to a critical point, however, and you may feel like you are bursting at the seams. It is OK to feel whatever you do about this conflict. Let it out.
Okay..interesting reading!
Last night was a great evening. After arriving home from work I got a phone call from someone I met recently. He said he would like to come to Athens and hang out. I said "what the hell...come one down" so he did. He is VERY attractive and polite. Nicole satyed at the house with me kinda as a buffer...just in case he was crazy. We all had a great time watching movies. He has a terrific sense of humor and great conversation!! WHOO HOO!!! He is a Virgo so that can go 2 ways for me. Not a good thing or a bad thing!! I am ready to get to know him better. I'll let yall know how it goes. I think I will see him again on Sunday.
It's friday. Payday!! Campus is dead right now. We have a big game against Auburn tommorrow that will basically decide our fate in the SEC. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE win this game!!! my cable is off so I will have to find a location to watch th game (sooo mad @ Charter). Every Friday before a big game it's like no one comes to work or class! they might as well make it a holiday! there is no point being here if there are no students or faculty!!
I won't be at work Monday because Kelly will be in the hospital having her baby. Well we don't know that for sure, but they will be inducing her on Sunday evening. Her mom, Laura and I will be on guard for Ava to be born!
Dear SHELBY,
How sweet life is today, SHELBY! And it's not even fattening. People are calm, gentle, and understanding. It is a joy to be out and about in the world. Even though your viewpoint today could hardly be called objective, you can nevertheless enjoy this little interlude of happiness. However, do be realistic when it comes to financial matters; don't spend beyond your means.
Okay...Im gonna start today right off by saying that THIS is crazy as hell!!! I don't want to come down on anyones luck or anything. I'm sure the nice old bus driver deserved all that...but damn...1 is enough..let someone else get some too!!
And for any of you who have been wondering WHERE IS RUBEN?? here is a little blurb I found about him today!! make it happen ruben!!
Well another young elmira man fell into the trap that is Elmira and will now be spedning the majority of the rest of his life in prison. Usually when I come to work everyday I check a few certain newspapers. I read The Ithaca Journal, The Star Gazette, and the AJC. Since I wasn't at work on Monday I missed catching up with the local news stories from the weekend.
Kim called me late last night to ask me if I had heard the news about our friend Jake. I told her no and she procedded to tell me that Jake killed someone this weekend. No one really knows why Jake killed this dude. It doesn't even matter (well it DOES matter). All we know is that another one of our friends has been lost to the streets. It's just so sad. Its like we are always burying someone or going to their trial. I feel like when I go home for christmas there won't be anyone left to see. Damn Jake!!! what the hell????
Anyway, aside from that I had a pretty good evening. I watched the source awards *sigh*. I'll comment on that mess later!!! One thing is for sure though...I love me some Lil Jon!!!
Well it's HUMP DAY again. That also means free lunch day for me. Every wednesday we have student seminars and they prepare lunch for the department.
Okay I am so ready to go home. I just feel like being lazy. I plan to go home and take a nice shower, fix dinner and perpare to watch the Source Awards to see what drama will unfold this year!
I'm sure Mark and Nicole will come by. Kelly had a doctors appt. today so there will be another sonogram picture to look at. She is due on the 27th but I think they will try to induce her next week. She is getting very large!! her poor ankles were so swollen the other day.
Its nice in my house without my roomates. Sometimes I do get lonely. Ihave never really lived on my own before. I mean I have had my own apt. but there has always been a friend or a guy that ends up staying alot. So it never really seemed like I was alone. Not saying that its not nice, but I'm a skurry kat too!! and too make it worse I am addicted to shit on courttv. So late at night I watch things like forensic files and scare myself!!
Sometimes I have to talk myself to sleep. NO I dont talk TO myself...I call someone. Kim is ALWAYS up at night so I can always call her or Mark since he works 3rd shift. The remote to the TV in my room stopped working so I have to get up to change the channel....which sucks! plus I cant set the timer for it to turn off on its own. If I leave it on all night chances are I wont hear my alarm in the morning!! I gotta get a new remote!! Damn Quis for taking the GOOD tv!! I am left with the 13" we got fromhis mother that we had in Sierra's room. Other than that I would have to fall asleep in the living room and then move to the bedroom!
Well none of this will matter in a week when my cable is off anyway!!! I will only be able to watch VHS and DVD after that! They already came and took the box and the modem *sigh*. I HATE not being able to access the interent from home..and I REFUSE to use dial up!! oh well...2 hours and 45 mins. till its time to go home!!
sheldawg at 11/11/2003 10:13:00 AM
Okay...I have finally recovered from my friday night!! YES..it took a few days to recover from that 1 night!! It's been a while since I partied like that! I really needed to have some fun! I am sooo glad I did.
Some friends of mine came over and we smoked a little bit before heading downtown. We decided we would go in toppers (a strip club) for a few drinks. The thing about the strip clubs here in Athens is that ladies cannot enter without a male escort. They do it as a safety precaution for all the crazy dudes that be up in there!! I think mainly because its a college town as well. They worry that if a bunch of girls come in..that a bunch of guys will get all hot from watching the dancers..and harrass the ladies when they leave. SO we had to recruit someone to take us in. Lucky enough for us we grabbed a guy that works there. We all got in for free and didn't pay for a drink or table dance all night! we didn't mean to stay there all night...but we were FUCKED UP!!
They headed home about 6:00am and I went to bed at like 7. The rest is.....secret!! hahahah nah...I just don't really know everything that happened...I know I called Quis several times and left him some interesting messages *sigh*. I was very glad to know I didn't invite him over in my drunken stuper!
Dear SHELBY,
You may have been thinking about advancing your education in some way, SHELBY, but so far other responsibilities may have stood in your way. Today, however, you may finally see your way to moving ahead with your plans. This is, therefore, a great day to sign up for a class or workshop, or to apply for admission to a college or university. This is also a great day to read about what interests you. Get a head start!
FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!! I am SOO happy I can lay in bed tomorrow morning! I am supposed to join some friends downtown tonight! I am very excited since its been awhile since I have gone out. Hopefully I can make it through the evening without running into Quis.
Today will be ANOTHER slow day around the office. I hate these kinda days. Fridays are almost always like around here. Most of the faculty doesnt work. Students are still hungover from last night. The only good fridays are paydays! and thats not till next friday. Not like it will matter since I'll be broke still!!
Well...I dont have too much to say right now. Hopefully something BIG will happen for me toblog about..until then....adios!

Dear SHELBY,
Expect a period wherein you do a lot of traveling, SHELBY, probably by air, and possibly across the ocean. Educational or legal matters might be the reason for much of this travel, and money could come into it as well. A change in partnerships may also come up - perhaps disruptive at first, but very positive in the long run. You're actually going to be very busy. Be prepared!
*GASP* where I'm goin? am I in trouble? another disruptive partnership? jeeesh!!
Anyway, I had a pretty okay evening aside from the fact that I couldn't sleep because of that damn drippy faucet in my bathtub. The hot water will NOT stop coming out!! it has turned my room into a damn sauna and my apt. is hot as hell...not to mention how bhigh my damn electric bill is!! the plumber should be his fat ass there today!!
I had a funny coversation with Kim at about 1:30 this morning. She had just got in from the club. She wanted to let me know how she saw EVERYONE!! she is too funny sometimes. We chatted for about an hour. Then I couldn't get back to sleep! damn you Quinn!!
I got to work late this morning. Not really for any reason. Im just lazy. And after tossing and turning all night in the heat (oh and I think I was delrious for a second because I kept thinking someone was outside my window....I was hella skurred).
I found this website today...it tells you the distance in miles between different US cities!! lmao!! boring I know...but you get desperate in the final hours of the work day!
sheldawg at 11/05/2003 01:52:00 PM
I was contacted recently by an old friend of mine, Shaniqua. I haven't seen Shaniqua since 1997 right before I moved to ATL. Her and I went to school together. We also were pregnant with our daughters at the same time. We went to the same lamaze class. We both went with our mothers (since the daddies arent worth a damn). Our Mothers became good friends. In fact my mom babysat her daughter, Sharoniqa (umm I dont know if I spelled that right so just sound it out..k). Anyway, we had lots of fun together. Her daughter was born on November 6 and Sierra was born on Nov. 24. We used to go to Syracuse together all the time. Thats where her baby daddy lived. I hooked up with his brother Derrick.
Anyway, now Shaniqua has 3 children (another daughter Savannah and a son). She is planning on moving to ATL. She is trying to get a job at a local hospital. She just got her nursing degree. She will be in town next weekend to go to some interviews and look at some apts. I am gonna try to take that day off work so I can hang with her some. Hopefully she will be moving here by Christmas.
YAY..another friend!!! Shaniqua is just what I need. That girl is a TRIP!! and it will be nice having someone around from back home.
Dear SHELBY,
Romance is in the air today, SHELBY, so make an extra effort with your grooming so you look your best. No one is immune to the positive vibes in the air. At the office, your coworkers are especially chatty, and one colleague in particular may pay you just a bit too much attention. You are in the driver's seat as far as new relationships are concerned. It may be that you are perfectly happy with your current situation. But if you are not, there is a definite possibility that someone will capture your interest, if not your heart.
Awww shyt siblings!! VERY interesting!! I didn't blog yesterday because I was mad at blogger for my comment section being MIA all day!! HMPH! don't they know I live for my blogger comments in the morning!!! UGHHH!!
Anyway, Donna and her perverted man moved their stuff out of my apartment on Monday evening!! I can't say I am totally happy, because now I have to come up with alot of rent money by myself next month!! and with it being Christmas and all....my trip home is gonna suck! WHo wants to go anywhere broke! UGHH..especially my first time going home as a single woman in 5 years!! not like there is a large selection to choose from. But its kinda like your high school reuinion. Everyone comes in town for the holidays. And who doesn't want to look their past. Especially when your 30, single, no career. LMAO!!! *sigh*
All I know is I am MORE than ready to start 2004!! 2003 was not my year! it was the total opposite actually!! and oh...tax time!! maaaaaaaaaaaaan.....it couldnt come ANY sooner!

Dear SHELBY,
This day may not be as exciting as you'd like, SHELBY. In fact, it could be downright boring. Your mind is filled with exciting new ideas and your body is chomping at the bit for physical activity. It is hard to contain yourself and sit quietly at your desk, sedately typing away on the computer. Even if you're deskbound today, you can at least escape mentally. Do an Internet search for hot vacation getaway spots during your lunch hour. Even though you can't board that airplane tonight, you'll have fun pretending.
Okay...lets' get this out of my system now. UGHHH.....what is wrong with those Gawt Damn Dawgs!! Why can we NEVER beat florida!! DAMMIT!!!
The Panty Sniffing Pervert
Okay..I don't really know that he sniffed my panties, but I came home early from work last Thursday to find out that he had been in my room, in my underwear drawer!!! The reason why I knew was because when I got home and started cleaning. I found a porno hidden under th couch while I was vaccuming. This particular porno in question was one that I kept in my underwear drawer (yes I am woman enough to admit I watch dirties...so what???). I proceeded to go the fuck off on his ass!!! and tell him I don't ever want him in my home again. And that he better think of what he is gonna tell his girl about his actions. I also told Quis about it later that night. Needless to say he wasnt thrilled about his boy going through my shit!!
So then...this heffa doesn't come home thursday night, all day friday or friday night!! Im like ..RENT IS DUE!! where is the money????? so finally Saturday morning I call her at work. She tells me she MIGHT have $200. *SIGH* her share of the rent is $325!!! so I tell her that this is not cool! I don't have the rest of the rent money to make up for her slack! I also told her about her perverted man!! she wasnt happy and asked why I didnt tell her sooner! well for 1)...you have been avoiding the hell outta me..and 2) thats on YOUR man!! he knew what he did..and he knew I was gonna tell you!! so go check his ass!!
Needless to say I didnt see her on Saturday night either...or Sunday. When she did finally arrive home she went straight in her room and didnt speak to me all night!! SO...this morning I went and knocked on her bedroom door and told her that I needed the $200 to deposit today so I can pay some of the rent. She proceeds to tell me that she decided she is gonna move out TODAY! after she gets out of work!! FUCKING HELL!!! UGHH!!! so I said "fine give me your key..now!" and she did. I told her she can wait till I get home to get her stuff.
While Im happy I don't have to deal with her anymore. I still have to come up with $325 more for rent!! Hopefully I will talk to Quis today. If I can get November paid for. Maybe my landlord can put me in a smaller unit for december. Quis and I will need to go make the appropriate changes to the lease.
Sierra didnt want to go trick-or-treating on halloween. Im not exactly sure why, but she had a fit!! I decided that I was gonna push the issue. I didn't get any trick-or-treaters at my house so she can have all the candy I bought!!
Well...time to get to work!! My goal today is to NOT STRESS OUT!! there must be a reason why this is happening!
