☆9.11.01☆ A Nation Remembers

Below is a picture of me and Eileen McShea from Channel 3 News. I made that collage to express my feelings - in a day we'll never forget.Below is a video of the remix "Heaven" by DJ Sammy. Very sad song but beautiful at the same time.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

The story continues...But with *PICS* ☺

(from left to right) 1st Row: We met at Saddle Ridge out in Parma at a mutual friends b*day, then talked on Myspace, exchanged phone numbers & then a few days later he picked me up to hang out.

2nd Row: Went to this great Italian restaurant nearby *PIZZAZZ* & while I was eating and he was drinking coffee we checked out one another's eyes... From there, we went to see HALLOWEEN & then a few days later he came over to my new place.

3rd Row: That's the "back" view of my apartment. Since I just moved in, Evil-E came along and went shopping with me so I could buy everything from a vaccumm to light bulbs :) and then his quiet "Church Boy" self came out and opened up about things and then I developed a crush on him. Who would have known? --> That a $hopping trip would result in some funny stories? *LOL*

4th Row: We've gone to Squire's Castle numerous times since we've been dating & VOILA! - still strong today :)!!!

OK - by now there's been far too much lovey dovey posts going on. And HOW MANY TIMES can we look at the same pic?

Onto a NEW SUBJECT :)!!!

Saturday Scavenger Shots #3 (ONE)

This week's word *ONE* was chosen by the *one* and only K_Sra. Over the weekends, I tend to take things slow and not go on the internet as much but I did stop by Evil-E's page and was shocked to see how he represented the number *ONE*. Awwwwwwwwwww, he is so cute when he shows his softer side :o) *blushes* and I know I definitely can't beat his creativity!!! Obviously, I know this isn't a competition but I'm not very good with words at times - and that's why I love adding pictures and videos to my posts. Anyways, enough blabbing and back to square *one* ;)! Evil-E is my #1!!!

Saturday Scavenger Shots #2 (Blue)

Although, I'm a tad bit late for Saturday's Scavenger Hunt, never fear... *Renee* is here :)! This week's word *BLUE* was chosen by the one and only Alien. Blue is one of my favorite colors. I have a blue rose tattoo on my upper right arm. Everybody who has seen it has asked the infamous question "Um.....Why is it blue?" And I simply say "Because it's my favorite color and I'm different." Anyways, enough rambling... And here's the story behind the pics. Below, is a bad pic of me (as I was saying Cheeeeeeeeeessseeee) that shows my tattoo. The one thing I regret is getting it on my arm. I wish I chose a spot that was more discreet.

Above are some items I can't live without!!! I am addicted to Calgon's Morning Glory body spray. I started wearing that in high school and even today (over 10 years later) it's my signature scent. Below is a color changing lamp (which is blue but kind of hard to tell by this pic) I have on my night-stand. Right next to it is a card from Evil-E. Every time I'm blue, I read it before bed to cheer me up.

Below is a picture I took of Evil-E, while we were at the beach (Mentor) two weeks ago. The sky was very blue that day :) and oh*so*pretty!

And last but not least, that painting of the blue rose ~> (please look to your right) was created by Evil-E, which he gave to me on my birthday. We just started dating and he knew how much I loved roses and glitter & with his creativity and wonderful heart, he came up with a beautiful blue rose along with some touching words :)! That is one flower that will last a lifetime & because of him, he turned my blue♥ heart back to red♥!
