THANKS RENEE WILLIAMS!

You know what you did...........and I really appreciate it. I thank God I have friends like you around! You ROCK!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

It's my favorite holiday today! Yay! Happy Halloween everyone! I love it. Everyone in my office today dressed up like our Clinical Director Brett. He does kinda always wear the same kind of outfit-dress pants, button down Polo shirt and loafers. It's pretty funny to see everyone being "Brett" for Halloween. Hey, this is the same guy that has a fart machine in his office-I think he has a pretty good sense of humor. Quick shout out to my peeps at the crisis line-I had fun hanging out with you guys last night-I'll be back next Monday for some more fun good times! Well, everyone have a fun and safe Halloween! Later.

Thanks SB!!!!!

Again, my real friends just keep showing their true selves. Thank you SB for trying to boost my self confidence and self-esteem. Even if it was all crap, right now, I'm buying it! Thanks for talking with me tonight-it made me miss our nightly chats (while we were supposed to be working). But it also made me miss our friendship. You rock SB, I don't care what Amy has to say about you! :) And, FYI...I'll be sending that email out real soon!

Thank you

Even though it feels like my entire life is turned upside down right now, I do still have the realization that I have a wonderful support system around me. My friends (and you know who you are) have been GREAT. I really don't know what I would do without you guys. Thanks to everyone who has tried to keep me busy and offered me a place to crash-your friendship means more to me now than it ever has. And I want to take this time to apologize. I know that over the last year, I have neglected a lot of my friendships (and family) and I want to say that I am sincerely sorry. I have no excuse. The fact that you can forgive me and still be my friend means the world to me. You have no idea.....and to my family, I know you are waiting for the Old Kerri to return. All I can say is, have patience, she will return someday, hopefully soon. Know that your love and support will be the one thing that gets me through.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Just wanted to wish a very happy 20th birthday to my cousin Ben. I seriously remember when he was born, making me feel really, really old today. Anyway-I know you are half a world away, but I hope over there in Qatar you are having a great birthday! I miss you and can't wait until you come home!

Congrats Cardinals!

Just wanted to congratulate the Cardinals on winning the World Series. Now, everyone knows I am a diehard Cubs fan, but I have to remain true to the NL Central not to mention the city I live in, so I am very happy the Cardinals won. Besides, who wants De-toilet (aka Detroit) to win anything? I mean, seriously? And besides, Albert Pujols and Mark Mulder look hot drenched in champagne.......

Happy Birthday Christi!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Christi! Hope you are having a great day. We will ignore the fact that you are now 31-Good lord! When did that happen. Do you realize we met when we were 18? We have freakin' been friends for 13 years now! Where does the time go? Wow.....Well, I hope you have a great birthday. I miss you, we must get together soon!!!!!!!!!!!

How cute is this????????

This is my friend Sarah's little girl, Elizabeth (almost 3). This was her first school picture. Doesn't she look thrilled? I seriously think this is about the cutest thing I have ever seen! She looks kinda like she wants to kick someone's ass! :)

Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu Red and Jon!

Uh....thats Happy Birthday in Japanese-just for you guys! It's so funny that my sister and her husband have the same birthday-even the same year. So-enjoy the big 2-8 guys, as I told Jon-you're almost as old as me-congrats! In all seriousness, I hope you both have a great birthday, Red I'm glad we got to do dinner last night and I'm sorry Chloe pooped in the basement. She's a bad, bad dog.......Have a great Halloween weekend, have fun and be safe! I love you both!

My neice is a trained KILLER!!!!

My neice Chloe is a Tiger killer! Check her out in her Pujol's t-shirt (yes, my sister is officially insane). Given Chloe's destructive nature, it isn't at all surprising that she tore apart this stuffed tiger. The girl is a Cards fan, that's for sure. I hear she thinks Jim Edmonds is hot-especially when he wears his eye liner! Red-I better NEVER see her tearing up a cute little stuffed CUBBIE BEAR! :)













She looks awful proud of herself, doesn't she?

Happy Birthday Krista!

Just wanted to wish a happy birthday to my friend Krista! Hope you have a wonderful day!

The haunted clown house from HELL

SO not right. The haunted house we went to tonight had a freakin' clown room!!!! As I screamed "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God", a clown followed me, saying the same thing. All I could do was hide behind Karen and hope the evil clown would get away from me (hey J, it may have been Jo Jo or Sparky-you know they get a lot of work this time of year. About time those bastards got a job.). Then I announced to anyone listening that I needed a drink. I'd say it was well deserved, having to go through that traumatic ordeal. Before we went in, the security guy told us we weren't allowed to cuss. I was like "well, what if I accidentally cuss?". He was like "well, I guess thats ok"....I think I did say "WTF" a couple of times, and I'm pretty sure "oh holy shit" came out of my mouth too. I couldn't help it. The haunted house was as fun as it was scary. I seriously laughed the whole time-my stomach hurt I was laughing so hard. Felt good-haven't laughed like that in a while (I seriously think the last time I laughed that hard was the night J and I went driving around Wildwood and kept seeing deer and the Horse Crossing sign). After the harrowing ordeal with the clowns was over, we went over to Trailhead for a much deserved beer. It was a good night, despite the icky rainy yuckiness. And now I'm home, and going to bed-that one beer made me sleepy. I just know I'm gonna have nightmares about clowns tonight......

The Eye of the Tiger....

Come on! Everyone sing! No? Ok.

Just wanted to wish J good luck tonight in his fight (I'd say break a leg, but since that is a very real possibility, I won't say that). I wish I could be there to support you, but you know I don't wanna see blood and stuff flying all over the place! I do hope you win, however, and will be sending you good thoughts. Are you gonna wear shorts like those guys???? Hmmmm.....Ok, I'm not right. But, GOOD LUCK, I'm sure you'll kick ass. Maybe I'll play a Kid Rock or Slipknot song in your honor tonight! I will NOT, however, sing. I know you appreciate that. Anyway, my only request is that you please don't injure that pretty little face of yours! :)

look what my mama posted for me!

I sooooo love my parents house in the fall. Look at it, it's beautiful. This is the view from their deck. I wasn't able to make it down this year-usually I go home every October because I just love the fall and the trees. Thanks mom for giving me a little bit of home! I love you much and will see you at Thanksgiving (which really isn't all that far away!). If you take any more pics, send them my way! Luv-Ker Ker

clarity

Clarity is a wonderful thing. It doesn't often happen to me, but when it does, it feels like a million pounds have been lifted. I have achieved some sort of clarity this week. Doesn't matter what it's about, what matters is what I learn from it. I've learned that certain things are out of my control and that all I can do is try my hardest and, if it doesn't work, I will know I did everything I could. This really could apply to anything in life. So, KD is in a good place right now. Don't y'all love it when I get all philosophical and stuff? Scary, isn't it????

It's official-we're a goin' haunted house-ing!!!!

Ooooooo.....scary!!!! We are going to haunted houses this Saturday night, Oct 21. Come one, come all! If you are interested in joining us, let me know and I'll give you the scoop. Sue says she's bringing the Depends.....just in case.

so jealous

My friend Sarah totally got to meet Nelly at the Rams game Sunday. She emailed me the pic as proof........................ Sarah was with me when we went to see Nelly in Memphis last year. SUCH a good time. She officially sucks.

blah, blah, blah

Ick-what a nasty Monday morning! It's cold and rainy here in the STL. Dude-I saw a pickup truck upside down on Hwy 70 this morning. Not a good thing. There were accidents everywhere, because, apparently once it starts raining, people think they have the green light to drive like even bigger idiots than usual. It took me an hour to get to work this morning.

I'm in a really good mood today for some odd reason. Not that I'm complaining-I'll take it. Haven't had a lot of good mood days lately it seems. I'm trying to snap out of whatever funk I'm in. For those around me that I am torturing, I apologize. I'm trying, I promise.

Well, I'll keep this short because I have 14 cases today (the most I've ever had), so I will be a busy little bee from probably 11am-on. Have a good icky Monday. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Happy Friday the 13th people!

Today has been pretty crappy, lives up to it's name. I think I'm just gonna go home and go to bed and hope for a better tomorrow. Be safe out there.

Click

Every time I have ever watched a movie with J, undoubtedly I fall asleep. It never fails. Doesn't matter what movie it is (although, if it involves Vin Diesel or Nicolas Cage, you can be SURE I'll fall asleep fast). I don't know what it is, movies just make me sleepy. Must be that short attention span....Anyway, last night J and I watched the movie "Click" with Adam Sandler. And, for the first time ever, KD stayed awake and J was the one that fell asleep! Ha! The tables finally turned. The movie was ok (best line was his like 5 year old kid saying "daddy, have you been smoking crack?"), it got weird near the end (as any movie with Christopher Walken would). Just wanted to have this occasion documented as it is not likely to happen again for a long, long time.

people are Cardinal crazy!

Wow-there is a woman at work walking around with a Scott Spezio goatee on her face...good times (she also just happens to be related to Harry Caray-coincidence?). Yes, people are Cardinal Crazy around here! Good luck Cards-hope you beat the crap out of the Pond Scum!

Ugh...I hate sleepless nights

I so couldn't sleep last night. I don't know why, because I was really tired. As I laid there staring at the ceiling fan, I grew more and more frustrated. As I watched the clock go past midnight, I grew more and more frustrated. I really, really hate nights like that. Especially when you get up to start your day after having virtually no sleep and it's nice and cloudy outside-perfect sleeping weather. So, I'm thinking it's gonna be a Skittles and Diet Coke kind of day. Consider yourselves warned.

me sleepy

yea......I slept in today. Then I took a nap. And I wasn't even out that late last night...I'm a wuss. My girls and I went to see Ivory Tiger play last night. A good time was had by all. I saw my Aunt Diane do shots...that was some good times! I was waaaaaay hyper last night (ok, maybe a little drunk-don't worry mom-I wasn't driving!!!), don't know why. I had fun and was home by 2am. Not bad. Now, here I sit on a Saturday night, blogging...exciting, huh? Guess I'm just too damn old to go out two nights in a row. Wow-when did that happen?

Too bad the Cardinals didn't win today-hope they do tomorrow. Hope they get to play the Pond Scum. Ok. I really have nothing else to say. Is it wrong to want to go to bed at 8:16pm? Nahhh.....

Just for J.....

Suppan is bringin' da HEAT!

Ok, so Suppan doesn't really "bring the heat", it's an inside joke that my brother and sister would get. In all seriousness, I wish the Cards luck this weekend, hope they win the series tomorrow. Hope they get to play the Pond Scum (sorry Aunt Diane!), that would be cool.

Have a good weekend y'all. Ivory Tiger tonight baby! I'll see ya there. Later peeps.

supporting Uncle Jimmy

Ok, so me and a couple of my friends are going to see Ivory Tiger tomorrow night. Should be some good times. I haven't seen them in awhile. Other than that, not a whole lot of exciting stuff going on this weekend. There will be the usual grocery shopping, laundry and apartment cleaning-that's always good times.

I haven't really had any blog material this week. My life is boring, sorry.

TV freak

I can't get enough of Deal or No Deal. Dude, the contestants on that show are FREAKS. It's such good times. I mean, really my choice in TV shows is limited given that I only have two channels-4 and 5 (because I am too cheap to spend $50 a month on freakin' cable!!!). So maybe that show isn't really all that good, but it's all I got.......

Woo hoo! The Cubs finish DEAD LAST in the entire NL!

Yes, it's true, my boys finished dead last in the entire freakin' league. Did you expect anything other than that? And now Dusty is unemployed. Can't say I'm surprised. He took them from playoff material in 2003 to dead last in 2006. That doesn't say much about his managerial skillz. I feel sorry for the poor fool that inherits the Cubbies. Then again, sometimes all it takes is the right coach to turn a team around, so if Joe Torre is available, that would be great.....thanks.

I still love the Cubs, always will. And, yes, I'm gonna say it.............THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!

well I thought I was feeling better....

This illness just doesn't want to go away. Now everything is draining, which I know is a good thing but it still sucks. What also sucks is that I am so freakin' hungry. What is up with that???? This post will be short and sweet. We are swamped at work because you know the weekend is a good time to get admitted to a psych hospital, so my caseload today is bigger than it's ever been. Yee haw! Hope everyone has a good Monday. I'm just gonna try to get through the next 8 hours then go home to my bed and my box of Kleenex......

Happy October to ya!!!!

That's what our crazy drunk neighbor said when we were living at Georgetown-remember Red? That guy sucked!

It's October! Yay! My absolute favorite month. I put up my Halloween decorations today. I had fought the urge for long enough. It's officially Halloween month, so let the decorating begin! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, it doesn't really feel like October since it's 80+ degrees outside, but that's ok!

I'm feeling a little better today, but still way weak. At least my head doesn't feel like it weighs 100 pounds anymore.

Mom-love that courthouse web site! Of course, we always knew the Salem government was corrupt. Whomever started that blog is pure genius!

Have a good week y'all. I'm thinking of an Ivory Tiger outing this coming Friday. If anyone is interested, let me know. They are playing somewhere in Fenton. Go to the link for their site to see for sure!
