Quirk

Pass on by if DRAMA is not your thing.

This is why I avoid my boyfriend's oldest daughter. And now his youngest daughter is picking up some of the same traits. This will not end with me in the equation. And it's absolutely not my loss.

Only if your dad comes too, and Josh stays home with Stephen. I will be getting ready for Pennsic that weekend and won’t wanna watch him.

2:59 pm
From Deanna Smith
Oh. Well not wanting to watch josh is understandable. I cant help but not feel welcome still though. But don’t feel bad, we probably shouldn’t go to the concert anyway with the money loss from the fire.

I assume Stephanie is buying you ticket. Of course you are always welcome. I just know how busy I will be on the weekends before Pennsic.

I am truly sorry that you still have misplaced anger and or resentment towards me. Thank you for consideration regardless I had hoped that after almost a year after something that you have taken responsibility for that we could get past it
Live for love

From Stephanie Smith
I really like you and hate the idea that you are uncomfortable with me

I guess you read what you wanted to instead of what I typed. I don’t have a problem with you coming.

3:18 pm
From Stephanie Smith
Not really I did want to express my regret for our previous differences. We have never really talked about so I thought I would take the chance to let you know how much I appreciate you
Live for love

3:18 pm
My apologies. I took it wrong.

3:20 pm
From Stephanie Smith
Don’t worry about it it’s a theme with me

To Deanna Smith
Sorry, was on phone w Haley.
Because we miss each other and need time alone together. It can’t be that hard to get a babysitter for Friday night.

From Pamela Pickard
To Deanna Smith
What makes me uncomfortable is that Stephanie is feeding you texts. Not cool.

5:02 pm
From Deanna Smith
Well I mean if that was happening I would get your discomfort but I speak for myself

5:04 pm
From Pamela Pickard
To Deanna Smith
Not buying it.

5:04 pm
From Deanna Smith
Stephanie wasn’t even here when the texts were sent she was easter shopping

5:07 pm
From Deanna Smith
Um ok wow. Didn’t realize how much you have a dislike for steph still. even though she tries hard to mend the situation. If you want to call me a liar that’s fine think what you want I really don’t feel like having a feud with you too.like I said we just wont go.

5:09 pm
From Pamela Pickard
To Deanna Smith
It just sounds so much like her.
Look, I know you really want to go to the concert. It can’t be that hard for her to get a sitter for fri til Stephen gets home

5:10 pm
From Deanna Smith
That’s not at all the issue! It’s the fact that it is an hour away from my home and we need somewhere to sleep. And i sound like Stephanie because her and I are similar people.

5:10 pm
From Pamela Pickard
To Deanna Smith
Not feuding. You asked, I answered. I do not dislike Stephanie. We won’t ever be best buddies, but I do not have anger towards her.

5:11 pm
From Pamela Pickard
To Deanna Smith
Of coure you both can sleep here. I told your dad that a week ago!

5:11 pm
From Deanna Smith
Not buying it.

Were opting not to go.

I Do a Little 'Chucking Now and Then

Tuchucking, that is. These are pictures of some of my Tuchux family. The dogs beat each other senseless, then compare bruises, while we wenches prepare mouthwatering meat dishes for us all to gobble.

Our warriors are fierce. They show no mercy. They have honor, courage, and spirit.

This is my dog, Orion. I am his wench. Unless you are Tuchux, you will never understand. Wenches serve, are protected, and will cut you if you disrespect us. Do not fuck with a wench, or, if you survive her wrath, this guy will be your worst nightmare.

Me in my garb. I am Ahmi of the Bear Clan of the Tuchux.

Mini wench takes no shit.

Happy Valentine's Day

Butler Museum of Art in Youngstown, Ohio:

Don took me there Saturday on a special date. We had the best time!

We molested statues as usual.

This security guy's name tag says "Art". Clever.

Ahhh, good times.

Quaker Steak & Lube - the original restaurant in Sharon, PA:
My honey took me out for Valentine's dinner. The food was delicious: steak and shrimp. We cooed at each other across the table like teenagers. He had the waiter bring me a strawberry daiquiri. When it came, placed in the glass was a beautiful, long-stemmed rose. I should have taken a picture. It was so romantic.

We are both so shy.

Such a face. I love that face.

That was an excellent weekend. The best. Don is just the BEST.

Cute Little Cup Sleeve

I've been meaning to make one of these for a long time, but never seemed to be in-between projects. Finally today I grabbed a file folder to make the pattern from my coffee cup and 2 of the first coordinating fabrics at hand and started to play.

I used a scrap of cotton batting for insulation and cush.

Four polyester (iron safe) snaps found in my sewing basket.

So cute. I am happy with how it turned out. These would make great little gifts with new reusable silicon-lidded ceramic coffee cups like mine. I got mine at World Market, but I have seen them sold all over the place. It saves me tons of money because I make my own coffee instead of going to the drive through. It fits just perfectly in my car cup holder. Aaaaaahhhh...warm coffee all the way to work to drink and use as a hand warmer, not a hand scalder. Win.

Some of My Heart

My dad and 2 of his minature dacshunds Sam and Frank. That's my beautiful Nancy daughter. It was Christmas time at my folks' house.

Me and silly Anna daughter out to lunch with my ma and my 2 other daughters on Christmas Eve. That was sooooo fun! The restaurant must have felt very quiet after we left.

My ma and my Haley daughter at the Christmas-Eve lunch. Pretty ladies.

Quilt that I am working on for my bed. Whew, it's huge!

Ink

In case you're curious, here's what I got. My friend Animal drew it after I sorta gave him an idea of what I wanted. I fell in love with his sketch, and right directly onto my leg the stencil was transferred. It was my first tattoo, and it hurt like hell. I am still in love with it. Thanks, Animal.

Then I bartered some handmade garb to Animal's beautiful wifey wench for this tattoo for my sweetie Orion. Animal and Orion came up with the idea, and Animal drew it up. The symbol behind the bear-claw marks is a Tuchux symbol. Do not steal it or the Tuchux will eat your babies and kidnap your wimmins. We might just do that anyway.
