Another Update ..........

I dont know how many of you read my blog but, I pray that a few of you might.

My brothers doc called my mom or my mom called my brothers doc (I dont know which) and they are discussing the option of my brother having a bone marrow transplant. Now, this means that my sister and I would have to have a "screening" and that means that someone would have to swab our mouth to see if we are a donor.

I'll let you know more as updates become available to me.

Please pray that if necessary we can find a donor within the family!!!!!

A funny Story that my friends and I made up

“Freaky One Accord Nuns: In Gossip Form”

This all started on Sunday, December 16, 2007:

It started as a personal “note” to Mary and it snowballed from there.

Kate: I love you, Mary! If you get married before I do, I will kill myself.

Mary: Correction; You will become a nun.

Kate: I don’t think that they will let me in because I talk too much.

Mary: and because you are Baptist

Kate: What else could I be?

Mary: A nun

Kate: We have been through this, I cant be a nun b/c I talk a lot and I am Baptist

Mary: Well, you could be a nun if not for that. Right?

Kate: Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I should ask Patricia. What I could be.

Mary: How about a penguin?

Kate: Hold on. Patricia, What could I be Besides a nun?

At this point Kate slides the paper over to Patricia and she (Patricia) passes it to Grace.

Grace: If it is a problem of talking to much contact Jennifer. She has some duct tape.

Jennifer: What color would you like?

Then Erica gets a hold of the paper

Erica: This is insane!!

Mary: No it’s not, Crazy Head. Continue…

Grace: Kate, are you sure a nun is the best job you could have? I mean you would have to wear black all day. Wait! Is being a nun a job? Hmmmmmm

Grace: another thing, what if you met your husband-to-be at Mary’s wedding? Would you still become a nun? Just wondering.

Kate: Is he good looking?

Erica: Not sure

Grace: How would we know if he is good looking or not, he is your husband-to-be not ours. Anyways, I was just wondering.

Jennifer: I’m with Grace. What if you met some nice lookin’ hunk at Mary’s wedding?

Kate: I might recant

Erica: In reference to what Grace said, what if the nice lookin’ hunk asked you to dance at Mary’s wedding?

Grace: Yeah, would you say yes or would you refrain from boogieing with your Prince Charming since your almost a nun?

Elizabeth comes in

Lizzy: I am Batman. That is all

Kate: That makes no sense whatsoever to the story, Elizabeth

Grace: Kate, you never answered Erica’s question: Would you dance or not?

Kate: I would not get down and funky if that is what you mean

Grace: Since you wont be getting funky, would you maybe waltz with him if he was extremely cute?

Kate: If he was really cute and charming I would think about waltzing with him

Mary: What if he was a complete Cheese Head? Just wonderin

Kate: Mary what is a “cheese head” and how dare you call my future husband-to-be that!

Erica: Why not get down and Funky? Just wondering

Kate: ‘cause I already got down and funky at Will’s wedding already

Erica: Ha! Ha! So just do it again.

Kate: O.K. Back to me being a nun

Erica: LOL

Grace: Whoever said that Mary was even getting married? You know she might end up being the nun. We could start our own, “ One Accord Nunnery”!

Kate: Would it be a Baptist Nunnery?

Mary: A-men, Sister Grace. A-men

Grace: Although, Mary wouldn’t be able to fit all her hair under one of those thingys. We might have to shave her hair off. Any one volunteer?

Kate: Off with your hair!!

Kate: Could this be a future play?

Mary: Freaks!

Erica: We could call the play, “One Accord Freaks: In Gossip form” or “Freaky Nuns”

Kate: Mary, you are one of the freaks

Mary: Of course

Grace: Kate, would you mind wearing black all day? I wonder if those hat things are heavy. How much do penguin costumes cost?

Kate: Not sure. I thought that nuns wear other colors of clothing

Grace: Even if they don’t, you could be the “Hippie Nun” Peace out!

Erica: All I know is that they wear black 24/7

Mary: I think I could be a Baptist version of a nun. You know, an old maid

Grace: No dancing during mass

Kate: Oh man! Now I cant get down and funky

Grace: No, Kate. That’s only at weddings

Erica: Amen, Sister!! Amen!!

Day 2 ~ Of me staying alone

(Day 2) May 1 ~ Well, it was great. I woke up around my usual waking hour and I got dressed and got Paxton's things together and I took him and his stuff to the vet to stay with me all 8 hours so that can take him out when needed. He whined, cried, barked, yelped, whimpered and carried on a lively conversation with the American bulldog next to him. Whenever Paxton would whine ..... it would almost tear my heart out. He was very content on my lap up at the front counter. He couldn't stay there though. The owners wanted him in the back and I completely understand that but, couldn't they make an exception just this one time????? No, rules are rules and I dare not beg. I want to keep my job!!!!!!!!!! This is my first job that I have really actually loved!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I get home about 9:00 last night and I just make sure the lights are off inside but, on on the outside where I can see out but, no one can see in and I also make sure all the doors and windows are locked!!!!!

(Day 3) May 2 ~ Was great. Better than yesterday went. I just st at the desk and listened to Paxton whine and cry and bark and yelp and whimper. I wrote don the times that I was allowed to take Paxton out and I stuck to that. I take him out every 3 hours to let him go do his thing.

Oh, before I forget ..... The vet office that I work at (Southern Regional Veterinarian Emergency Services) is having a open house. The public can attend. So, y'all come out and see me in action (well, those of you who live in the Dothan Area)!!!!

My first night staying alone in my 24 years of living

Well, the day started out with me getting up at 5:00 and staying up until Mom and Dad left .... about 7:00. I fell asleep an hour or 2 after they left and woke up at 10:00 (my normal waking hour). I got dressed to go to town and Paxton and I went to headland to cash a check (the lady at the bank drive-thru gave him a dog bone) and then we went to Dothan to Pets Smart. There I got him more squeakers for his toys and I also bought him a new chew toy which he really seems to be liking.

Anyway, 2 of my friends invited me to go with them to their churches but since they go to seperate churches they both started around the same time and I was having second thoughts about leaving the house and also coming home all by myself to a house out in the country (this woeld is not what it used to be)! So, I wound up not going with them but, then I got a phone call from one of the members that go to First Baptist Church in Headland. She invited me out to her house to ply some games with her and another person since she knew that I would be lonely with Mom, Dad and Grandma gone. Anyway, I had fun and the game we played that I had never played before (or atleast I don't think that I have) was Mexican Train. I won the whole game ..... we only played 3 rounds!!!!!!!!!! I am going to by that game next time I see it.

I got home around 10:25 and I came in and called Mom and told her that I got here ok. She told me to turn on all the outside lights which I did and now, i am praying every second for protection while I sleep b/c like I said ..... this is the first time in all my 24 years of living (except for that one night last year before I wound up in the hospital) that I have ever stayed by myself!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I am going to bednow. I will wrte about day 2 tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! Good night!!!!!!!!!!

My 15 seconds of fame!!!!!

I did a lot more than what they showed but anyway, here I am on TV .....
