Journal

I started a journal post and didn’t finish it but I will still post it up instead of deleting it!

From 11-27
Oh man!!! It’s just one of those rainy days… NOW WAY!!!! It’s got a little snow in there!! WOOOHOOOOOO This morning I got up and made my family’s biscuits and gravy. My roommate got rained out for the day so I though I would make a big breakfast! It was pretty funny, this morning I called my grandma just to say hi and make sure I remembered the recipe right. She answered with a sleepy voice. Talked to me for a little bit and literally in mid conversation she stopped talking and said ok sugar I’m going. Lol Southern women I swear are notorious or doing what they want and only what they want. Even, when it comes to talking on the phone! She always hangs up on me. So do my aunts… ayy ya yaya Any who, It’s nice to have someone to hang out with during the day 😉

11-29
I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving! I hosted it at my house this year! It went great! I was sick in the morning due to taking prednisone from the week before. I had an asthma attack on 11-17, woke up hopped in the shower and by the time I got out my lips were blue. I went into the doctor they gave me two breathing treatments and my lungs finally opened up! Because of the asthma attack they put me on prednisone to reduce all the inflammation in my lungs. However, prednisone lowers the body’s immune system therefore I got sick. So before I made our families Thanksgiving feast I had to pull myself together and try to over come feeling like complete crap. It’s all good though! The food turned out great! ☺ and everyone had a full belly when they left!

So is everyone getting ready for the Christmas!? I know I am! Sunday I went and got a Christmas tree!! I wanted to cut it down but we went to two tree farms and none of the trees were big enough. The second tree farm we went to had a bunch of planted trees and cut tree’s from North Carolina! They were beautiful! The guy called them the Cadillac’s of trees! We got a 9’6’’ tree and 27’ of garland! The house looks beautiful all decorated for Christmas! Very festive!!!!!

Lately I have been really missing my best friend in Texas! It sucks to be so far away from someone you connect with so well. Yes, we can talk on the phone and text but it’s just not the same. I miss her daughter too! She’s talking now 😉 I can’t wait for her to talk my ear off lol Maybe sometime next year I can juggle the costs of flight school and a plane ticket and get to spend time with them! That would be ideal and would make me feel a lot better. It’s harder for her to come here because of the little one and it’s warm there! Who wouldn’t want a little break from this cold!

Speaking of cold! It’s almost officially winter! SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! I can’t wait to go snow boarding!!!!! Also I would like to drive up to the U.P. in Michigan and go ice fishing with some family friends! They have a cabin up there! That would be so awesome! I have recently became more involved in my brother and nephews love for hunting. I am going to go to a hunter’s safety class and learn more about hunting and safety! It’s always nice to be able to enjoy and partake in the same things that my family likes! Then we are all together spending quality time! I hope everyone is enjoying the change in climate, if you had it that is! Have a wonderful day and a AWESOME weekend!!!

What a week! It feels great to finally sit and relax. I’ve been running around like crazy and “oh my, oh my!” does it feel great to sit in my office and just chill out! Lights are off, fish tank fountain is soothing, and I’m enjoying a huge glass of iced tea! I went through all my mail and bills and everything is sorted and ready to be taken care of! Feels GREAT!

Last Friday was a terrible experience for Madison and I. I took both dogs to the vet to get up to date with their shots and get Madison’s foot looked at. She split one of her nails and I couldn’t get it to heal. So to the vet we went! Malcolm did great! He was good for the nurse and vet! Madison on the other hand was scared to death of the vet L I don’t know if it was his white coat or if he looked the man that abused her as a puppy but she hated him. Poor thing.. it was terrible. She was barking, whining, panting, and so afraid of him. She was trying to protect Malcolm, and me and totally stressing out. Stressing to the point where her hair was coming out. It was sad, literally broke my heart. It took 3 people to hold her down and then they ended up sedating her. I felt so help less, it was such a traumatizing experience for her. My poor baby. However, she is doing great now! She’s on her meds and the nail is finally healing. They both have shots and are happy/healthy little campers!

This week has been pretty darn good. My back is starting to feel better and I am hopefully going to get some good rest after trying a couple new remedies to help sleep. Doctor recommended no caffeine and about a half hour of wind down time before I even lay down to sleep. Maybe a nice bubble bath tonight will help!

I am excited for tonight! My mom and I are going shopping for winter clothes and then dinner! I haven’t gotten to hang out with her in toooo long! It’s going to be awesome! Then tomorrow I am spending the day with my big brother! We are going to race go carts!!!!!! Not regular ones either! These ones go over 70 mph! Booya! He rounded out a group of people to go! Were all putting $20 into a pot so whoever wins gets some $$$$$ 😉 Wish me luck!!!!!

It’s getting colder her. Heat is turned on in the house. The leaves are all changing. Fall colors are absolutely beautiful! The fields are almost all harvested. Before you know it, it will be time for snow! I’m very excited about snow boarding! Hopefully we get a ridiculous amount of snow this year! Last year we didn’t get enough! I don’t know if I am going to plow again this year though… I think I’d rather take my nephews to play in it than push it around. 😉

I hope that everyone has a awesome weekend! Love ya tons! Stay warm 😉

Hey guys!!!! Just wanted to do a post on here instead of Twitter or ID! Couldn’t sleep last night! Got a late start on today but now I am getting stuff done! Lots of laundry done today! I took on doing every roommates laundry lol It was driving me nuts laundry sitting in the basement. So now I do it all! Haha Why not!? At least it doesn’t stress me out now when I go down there! I kind of feel like a mom. haha Guess it’s good practice for the future! The pups are outside on their leads running out some energy and I’m in here with the blinds and windows open enjoying this nice breeze and sunshine listening to Texas Country on pandora! Hopefully I can go down to Texas soon! I’ve been missing my girls! And Cali. I think I need to start planning some trips! Hope everyone makes the best outta their day! XOXO

Today started off awesome! I went and had coffee with my mom, went on a walk with the dogs, bought air filter oil, oil filter, and oil for my quad and was ready to work on my baby! Then… I got home oiled my air filter put it back on. Went to drain the oil from the bottom of the engine case and I couldn’t get the damn bolt off!!! I tightened it too tight last time and now I can’t get the son of a bitch loose. So I said screw it i’m gonna rip for a little bit anyways then, even after sitting on the charger all the night the battery was dead. Now I have to buy a new battery for it! AND the dealerships around here don’t have one in stock. I am planning on racing in two weeks and NEED as much track time as possible! I need to new tires, new battery, axle nut and fucking A i’m sure there’s going to be something else! UGH. And my pants are all the way burnt through and now my boots too cause the header gets so hot by my leg. Nothing like everything needed all at once! woooooo saaaaaaaaaa akuna matata. lol

Besides that mess lol everything has been going awesome! I loved the set that came out of Andi and I it turned out very sexy and FUN! She was a blast to work with! It was nice having another girl again! I’ve been super stoked about the weather lately! It has been gorgeous out! A person couldn’t ask for more beautiful days! I rode for 2 hours last night and felt great! I could breath and wasn’t over heated at all! I think I need to move somewhere where the weather is like this all the time! Maybe colorado someday 😉 Not any time soon though! LOVING living back at home close to my family!!! My new nephew is doing great! GOD I LOVE HIM! He is such a little bundle of joy! My family and I went to cabela’s last week to get a bunch of decoys. Getting ready for goose and duck season. I can’t’ shoot an animal. But I like going with! We shot trap last weekend and I nailed almost all of them! Only missed 3!!!!! My nephew and I had to shoot together cause the guys all nail them way too fast then we have nothing to shoot at! hahaha

Earlier in the week I went to the museum of science and industry! It was awesome! Theres some pics at the bottom for ya!

One of my best friends bought a river cruiser last week. We went on a nice ride Thursday and watched the sun go down! The sun reflections were absolutely beautiful! We’ve finally been getting some rain so everything is nice and green again! The grass is soft now!!! 😉 it was getting pretty crunchy for a while! Reminded me of Texas! Not one of my favorite things about Texas either! This weekend I went shopping with my mom and found a shirt that totally decribes me! lol Check out the pic!! lol Sorry I haven’t posted in a while I will start paying more attention to my journals! Totally brain farted and forgot! Muah!!!!! XOXO

Have a great week everyone!!!!!!!! XOXO

Hey guys and gals! I hope everyone has some awesome plans for the 4th! I have none <3 I have no plans but keeping myself open for family this 4th! All I wanna do is hang out with them, have some drinks, watch fireworks, and blow shit up! Sounds good to me! lol Sooooo………… Last week I became an aunt again to a beautiful baby boy! My brother and his wifey blessed me again! 😉 I am so proud of them! And the baby looks JUST like my brother! They are truly amazing parents and it is so nice to see a couple be blessed with such an amazing thing. I’ve been over at the hospital with him a lot over last week and this last weekend. He has problems breathing and momma didn’t get to see him for 13 hours 🙁 But now he is home healthy and happy as can be. I feel so blessed guys, I just can’t even explain it! Plus, we didn’t know the sex so it was very exciting! I wanted a healthy baby and it didn’t matter what the sex was but secretly I was hoping for a lil boy!!!! Yaaay! Friday was Lois’s My best friend for years BIRTHDAY!!!! So all of us girls got dressed up and went out to a dance club to shake our bootaaaayyyssss! It was blast!!!! Even one of my best friends that hates dancing was out on the floor shakin it! It’s been 4 years since Lo had a great birthday party! Unfortunately she has some bitchy friends that always start some kind of drama but NOT this year! It was perfect! She was happy as she could be getting down on the dance floor! Plus she had a guy buy her a $250 dollar bottle of champagne which made her feel so special! She deserved it! I can’t tell you how blessed I am to have such a down to earth amazing woman as my best friend. She has been there for me through thick and thin. I’ve watched her grow up to be the most sincere, good hearted person I have ever met. She has taught me so much and always done it with such a beautiful smile on her face. I love that girl! Then Saturday all of ladies woke up at my house and went to breakfast! After that I came home and took a well needed nap! I wanted to get one Friday after I left the hospital but it was so hot I couldn’t! After I woke up from my nap I met one of my buddies and went for a motorcycle ride to a family barbeque! Then went home got my truck, tent, and puppies and headed out to the pond to camp with my friend for his birthday! The dogs and I swam for so long that when I came home on Sunday it was a group nap! lol Great weekend!! Now I am ready for a GREAT 4th!!!!!!!!!! XOXO Madden

What an Epic last couple of weeks! Fun, fun, fun! AND It’s been nothing but sun shine to enjoy all of it in!!! From Mustache bar crawls, camping, to summer fest, and then VEGAS! I couldn’t be a happier girl! And now this weekend I have my sister’s baby shower! I’m going to be CRAZY/busy all week! It’s going to be GREAT!

The last couple weeks I’ve been able to wake up and have coffee or OJ on my porch and watch the birds and horses! Yesterday I dug out an over grown/weed infested flower bed and made it beautiful! I have 5 more to go! lol Cleaned out all the garbages around the farm, washed the cans, set my bunny cage up outside, put the hut together for the chickens, watered the garden, and cleaned the hot tub, and started a nice burn pile for this weekend! 😉 boom! Doing thangs!! haha

So…. Vegas 😉 was EPIC the best vegas vacation of my life! It was insanely awesome!!!! I couldn’t have gone with a better group of people! We literally all had the same tolerance, eating schedule, and FUN FUN FUN schedule! haha We woke up, ate, then headed to the pool for some fun in the sun! By the time we left the pool we were half baked, awesomely intoxicated and ready for a little nap to revive ourselves, then shower time, hair and makeup and then it was time to HIT THE STRIP! from piano bars, strippers, to coyote ugly we got it in! Then Friday was the wedding! What a fucking blast! The wedding was early afternoon which I thought would be hard to wake up for but hell we had already went for a swim before we got ready!!! The bus ride there was disgustingly hot but once we got to the chapel it was nice and cool! The chapel was cute and tacky, just like a vegas wedding should be hahahahaha! Then we went to the original Vegas sign and took pics and drank ourselves silly on the way to the reception! The bride and groom had us all tie-dye t-shirts made! One of the bridesmaids actually dyed them herself! After the reception we were all HOT and loopy! lol so we headed back to the pool and had a blast! Bahahahahaa We all ended up getting escorted (nicely) back to our rooms because we were a little wild! lol They closed the pool at 7 and we were all still having fun! lol they nicely asked us to get out and followed us to our rooms! haha We got the whisle blown on us sooooooo many times for getting rowdy! All they could do was laugh at us, i think they were sad they weren’t in the pool w us having fun! Oh man, such a great time! EPIC VEGAS TRIP! AWESOME WEDDING 🙂 what more could I ask for!!!!???? ( a good baby shower this weekend!!!!!! lol)

I hope everyone had a amazing week!!!!!!!!!! I’ll try to tweet and post as much as possible! XOXO

Hiya guys and gals! So this weekend was so stressful and crazy. It started pretty calm I stayed in Fri night to relax and do some cooking for my spa party I hosted at my house on Sunday. I cooked had a nice glass of wine and jammed out. Totally relaxed until a terrible call came. My dad was in the hospital again. This is the 3rd time in 2 months. I’ve been trying to stay calm and collect but its starting to really scare me. He went in for this lungs and his heart. He is going to see a specialist for both again this week. If your religious please put in a word to the big guy for my family please. Then yesterday morning my 8 month preggers cousin got in a bad accident. She is doing good today and so is the baby. Thank god. So I apologize for not tweeting a lot and being very active. I’ve just had a lot on my mind.

Besides that craziness of trying to keep sane and not a complete emotional wreck I have been spending a lot of time with my family. Helping dad out and being with my brother. I’ve got all the rooms at the house full so I’ve been working on keeping that a healthy and happy house. My friends are mainly sick lately. This fucking weather is really hard to stay healthy. With all the pollen, dust, and dander in the air every one is sick coughing and sneezing and I swear people act like kids and never wash their hands. lol I’ve been pulling fast ones on everyone and being like hey smell this new hand sanitizer I got from bath and body works! It smells great on! hahaha I’m going around sanitizing everyone!!! tehehehe The weather drops and warms up, rains, shine, its all up in the air. I can’t wait to sweat!!!! I’m ready for summer baby! Oh am I ever!!! Wakeboard and boat are calling my name like you wouldn’t believe! Hopefully I can spend lots of time with my dad on the river this summer! 🙂 That would be sweet!

I’ve been spending a lot of time planning and getting things together for my sister-in-laws baby shower. I am doing work on this thing! It’s going to be so amazing! Every time I see her I get so emotional cause I am so happy to be an aunt again!!!!! And I am so happy everything is going good with their pregnancy. Can’t wait to see my new niece or nephew! Ahhhhhhh 🙂 🙂

I’m gonna get back on my grind!!!! I hope everyone has a great day! XOXO

Madden

Can’t wait to be 100%! And not SICK 🙁

After a week of being sick I sure am over it. I hate not being on the go. It really sucks. I hate sitting around. It drives me nuts. I’m about to go loco!! Lol That is if I had the energy to. Lol

It all started Thursday nigh. I went out with my girl friends to dance and while I was dancing I just didn’t feel right. My joints hurt. I felt achy, so I quit drinking alcohol, started drinking water, and kept dancing. At midnight my girl Lo and I went home and went to bed. She said I tossed and turned all night. I did because my legs hurt so badly. Then I felt like crap the next day. I didn’t think about it, I just though I was hung over because I only had soup and a grill cheese for dinner that night and not a lot to absorb the alcohol. Well that was not the case. I was getting sick and that did it. I slept almost all day on Friday. I ran some errands then went back home and went to bed. I’m never that tired. I always have a ton of energy. Well on Saturday I started to feel better. I figured I just needed a lil more sleep. When the weather changes so much like it has it really take a toll on my body. I hate it. That’s one thing I miss about California I barely ever-got sick. Here in IL my immune system is always put through the ringer. L Did I ever tell you guys that when I was born my mom had pneumonia and I was sick with it too? The doc says that’s one of the reasons I’ve always been so susceptible to getting whatever’s flying around. That why I juice, take vitamins, and eat so much lol I need those calories to fight things off! So any who… Then I felt pretty good on Sunday just stuffy but it was weird cause when I went to brunch with the girls I had a grill cheese and soup and I only ate half the grill cheese. Usually I can eat quit a bit, and I have to tell myself to stop. lol Then I went riding and I ran out of endurance so fast. I knew something was going on cause I had been riding on and off all week. I went to bed early and when I woke up Monday I felt dead. Absolutely NO energy, no desire to eat, my stomach was upset, my throat hurt, and I couldn’t breath, it was bad. So that was that it was time to chill out and take it easy. Ever since then I have been laying around and pretty much sleeping all day. I went to the doctor and have a viral infection in my intestine and upper respiratory infection… no good. He said I must have eaten something bad or got it from someone. I haven’t been kissing on anyone so I must have eaten something. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies so I guess that makes it easier for me to get something like that. I can’t fucking win. Lol I do.. I get it, I don’t.. I get it. The worst part of this whole deal is one.. work, and two.. it’s PEAK time for me to ride. This weather is cool, it rains every once in a while so the tracks tacky, it’s perfect. Well, not for a couple weeks now. I will not push it but I can’t go that long with out riding. Even if I have to cruise around, I will. It’s always something! Wish me back to health guys! I need the help! 😉

I’m leaving on a jet plane, but I’ll be back Monday. 😉

Heading down to Texas to visit friends and family for a Easter party. I am very excited and blessed to be getting away for the weekend. It’s been on hell of a week. I got into something last weekend and this week outside and it made my skin super sensitive, with an allergic reaction. I am not sure what it is that I am allergic to but it got me good! I did some serious work this weekend though. I raked out the flower bed around my house, got all the dead stuff out, burned it then raked the soil around all the plants. Some of them are already coming up. Hopefully it doesn’t get cold again. I don’t want them to die. Although, I would love for all these little nats everywhere to die. OMG the things are terrible! It hasn’t froze over at all so all those little nats are all coming out at once. I fucking hate bugs, I can get dirty but I hate bugs! Then this week I went and found a bunch of stones and lined the flower bed with them. I also cleaned out the pond and fixed the pump for the waterfall!! It’s coming together! It’s looking very nice! Very relaxing to sit on the porch and drink coffee, or a beer lol. On Wednesdays I did a bunch of yard work and then my two friends came over with their dogs and we hung out side and let the dogs play.

Madison went swimming for the first time! My friends dog Rizzo, went down by the pond and got in a little bit. He was cooling off and we were all watching the dogs play when out of nowhere Madison came running and jumped straight into the pond! She went all the way under and came up freaking out! Poor thing! I don’t think she realized how she would go under. Needless to say by the end of the day she nailed it! Lol The first time she came up she was only using her front paws to swim but the third time she nailed it she was swimming like a pro! I am very excited to take her to the lake and rivers this summer. After a full day of playing outside she actually laid down and chilled in the house the rest of the night!

I am headed to Texas right now! When I left it was raining and a little nippy out. It’s supposed to be 85 all weekend in Texas!!!!!! Woohoo!!!! I am going to use this weekend to chill out and relieve some stress. Then when I get back its back to business, and school. I can’t wait to get back in the studio and shoot! I am hopefully going to start doing some affiliate work as well. I’ve been talking about it for awhile, I want to get my ass in gear before fall semester!!! Hopefully it will help me pay a good chunk of tuition if I can get it up and running fast enough. I really don’t want to have 70k in student loans when I graduate!

Anyone have any good plans for the summer? I am going to wake board every weekend!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol I can’t wait!!! Hopefully if I’m not wakeboarding I will be riding, or working! I wanna keep as busy as possible. I am in the process of designing a chicken coop. lol That’s right! 😉 I have started to gather all the materials! My buddies are going to come over and help me build it! I can’t wait! FRESH eggs! This winter I am going to get some of the butchered so that I have fresh chicken breasts as well! Can’t wait!

Me and my accidents… What the f***!! First someone rear ended me, then almost ran me off the road, now I hit someone! Hopefully that “everything comes in 3’s” thing is true and I will be done dealing with accidents! I have to fix my truck still…. Ugh my poor baby. I wish I could just get the whole thing painted and every little scratch on it fixed. I tell ya, one thing after another. Just when ya get caught up, something else comes up! Just gotta keep on truckin.

I hope everyone of you has a GREAT, FUN, HAPPY, weekend!!!! <3 ya!! XOXO Madden

First off, I want to apologize. I just noticed my Texas journal didn’t post. I know it is probably my fault but I don’t know what happened. I must have lost connection while it was posting. If it is still on my laptop I will post it. I am sorry about that.

What a couple of weeks it has been! I went to Texas, came home and we got a bunch of snow! Couldn’t have asked for more! Lol Except I had to plow, I would have rather just played in it! I ended up plowing for 9 hours straight and it did some serious damage to my back L I plowed in a skid loader. It is a nice one, it has heat and an Ipod hookup so it was super sweet to get to jam to my own tunes and stay warm! Problem was that I am only about 5ft tall and they are not made for people that are my height. Therefore I was reaching to hit the foot pedals and sitting all the way forward on my seat to use the arm controls. I didn’t even think about how much I was putting strain on my body until Saturday when my back got really tight. Sitting forward, reaching, and the repetitive movements got me good. I’ve been really sore ever since. It’s a bummer but hey it was good money. Will I plow 80 driveways again? Probably not, it’s not worth the money to hurt this bad but I will still plow lots and stuff like that. I’ve been feeling better energy wise though. I’ve been juicing every morning! Lol Silly bought me a juicer that I had put on my wishlist! I went to the store and bought broccoli, strawberries, blueberries, grapefruits, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and apples! I put all of those ingredients in my juicer every morning and drink up! It gives me such a feel good feeling ALL day! I have energy and I feel healthier in general. It’s a lot of calories so your not supposed to juice anytime but in the am if you’re trying to watch weight. But if you get tired during the am or afternoon I highly recommend trying this! I love it!

I went to a Yong the Giant concert and it was ok. It wasn’t anything special. They sounded good but not a concert that I would go and see again. Marilyn Manson is playing soon so I might be getting tickets for that! The Pretty Reckless is opening for him and I love them too! You guys have heard some of their songs in my videos. “Somebody switched my medicine” is one of them and the one that goes, “wait a minute girl, can you show me to the party!” is another one! Both songs are great and the album it’s self is very good! I’ll tell you it’s been a bummer not being able to stream stuff because I don’t have good internet. It sucks!! L I think I am going to make a trip to my Momma’s to download some goodies!

I enrolled Madison in training classes. She is so high energy, I think it will really be great! It gives us at least a couple hours a week with my full attention to her! It will help stimulate her mind and help with her behavior. She is wonderful but man is she a handful! I love her personality; I can’t wait to see how she does! I tweeted it but for those who don’t know, Marley my beta fish, died. L Very sad day. I know it sounds silly that I care so much about a fish but he was super cool to watch. Especially when I am working in my office or relaxing. I just like to watch him swim around. His fins were beautiful and he was such an active beta. The most active beta I have ever had or seen. Turk (named him that cause he’s turquoise), my other beta just sits there all the time. Waaaay boring to watch, half the time I can’t even find him cause he’s hiding. My friends always make fun of me when they go through pictures on my phone because there were always pictures of Marley. T would always say, “were you high taking pictures of Marley again!?” lol my response was always just a laugh! hahaha He was just so beautiful!! I wish I had pictures on my new computer I would post them so you could see! He was the biggest beta fish I have ever seen. Literally, was the size of a medium sized fantail gold fish when he died. So RIP Mar man! I put Turk in the 10 gallon tank but today I am going to take him out. I put new plants and re organized my tank. I am going to take Madison to get her nails clipped and while were are at the pet store I am going to buy some new fish!!!!!!! It am very excited! I set Turk up with some plants in his little tank so he can still hide and I am going to get some cool, colorful new fish! Active, playful fish! I’ll post pics for you!

As far as other life stuff goes…… lol I don’t care or want to talk about it today! Haha nothing bad is going on but today is just not a day I want to think about it! All I care about today is laundry, working out, tanning, fish, and my lil gal Madison.

Have a GREAT rest of your week and weekend!

XOXO
