Hello, I'm not dead

Yeah I am still floating around but I feel the need to introduce someone to everyone...

This is Dixie Lynn Hitt.. Born June 14, 2009

Daisy is so big now, the one picture of the three of us together, they decided to gang up on me and Daisy was in the process of finding somewhere to hide my body lol.


I just been really sick. I don't know what's wrong but I get better for like three or four days and then I am down again which is making me mad. I don't spend as much time online, pitiful huh? So now I am heading off to bed yet again.

Opps

First off my laptop died on April Fools Day of all days. It was sort of depressing. But I was finally able to get back online for the first time yesterday.

Yeah I didn't stay on long because I was in so much pain and the pills didn't help.

I had to get a tooth ( I use this term lightly due to the fact the thing had shattered) extracted yesterday and on top of that,

UPS wasn't on time
Daisy kept me awake
And
MY home phone WOULDN'T STOP RINGING!!!!!!

I know how one of my friends (E) felt when hers wouldn't stop ringing. Uggg..

Even though today I do feel somewhat better, my jaw is throbbing due to the rain. Yeah I get a tooth pulled and it rains the next day.

I post a longer post later. I have a lot to catch up on for the past two weeks. *Sighs* I didn't even get to see the Sasuke Touramant in full.. My computer started acting up that day and then the first went down for good till I got the adapter cord in the mail.

New Pictures and my V-day gift

First is a picture of Daisy with how big she has gotten.

Man my girl's gotten big.

Next my V-Day gift from hubby.






I had actually wanted this four years ago, the first time I ever laid eyes on it. He decided I was getting it for Valentine's Day.


This is the '09 Model Of The Traxxas Stampede. I wanted the red body but all they had was a display so I had to get the blue. It's a 1-10th Scale Monster Truck. Has Waterproof Electronics in it. Good thing, means I can play in the mud, rain and water. Just can't submurge it all the way.

Side Shot of the Stampede.


Over head shot. Man Oh man could I have some fun at Mt. Mydoriama with this one. I am thinking about making some of the first stage obsticales ( in mini format for the truck on our dirttrack we are building.)



Inside of the truck. Yeah I know something is missing but it's the battery which I remove when I am not playing with it. The battery is pictured below.

This is a picture of the rear end, the motor. My truck goes 35 MPH.. Yeah, I can get two to three feet of air off our jump in the backyard.

The remote. I like it, it's small and easy to use.

The battery. We went with a Venom 3000 7.2 Voltage, just for longer running time.
Patrick said Traxxas would have been proud of me on Saturday. The truck will be modified later on with Aluminum parts and upgraded to a brushless motor for more speed. The parts for these RC's are fairly cheep. The most expensive thing (now) is going to be the brushless motor which will run over 100.00 when and if I choose to do it. I doubt I will. I'm going to change out my tires to skull and crossbones and I am going to get me a clear body and paint it in honor of Sasuke. Might have to cheat and print out the vynal part for the name.

The truck cost 149.99 before we got the battery, which we had to buy seperate, as is the norm.

Other than that..

Havent' hear back from the job yet. Oh and Mother Nature decided to visit me on V-Day. I think I have an ear infection but nothing majorly wrong there. Still playing Dragon Cave, still taking care of myself, Patrick and Daisy, and yes, Matt is still here.

Hope everyone is well and safe.

I'm alive...sorta

I'm alive but down with a cold again. Daisy decided she wanted to play in the rain and make me chase her so yeah, not feeling so well. Nose is all stuffy and chest is all hurty.

I haven't been online that much because I am trying to distance myself from the computer. It's not anything particular but I really do get upset whenever people "my internet pests" won't leave me alone.

Over the past few days I have been trying to do research online so that me and Patrick can get financed to purchase this place but low and behold, I can't. I go invisable and she still pm's me and pesters me.

I was rude to her but the girl wouldn't leave me alone. I wasn't too rude but I did tell her when she messaged me that I didn't have time nor the patience to talk with her and she still kept on. Even blocking her doesn't do any good. I had to get on extra early tonight just to be able to update this blog because I don't remember when the last time was I did.

Daisy is still good, hyper but good. Patrick is working long hours but the plus is on March 1st he goes back to third shift.


Plus news for me..

I got a call back for an intereview on Friday to a place I applied. I am extra happy and extra excited. But I forgot my refrences on the application but she said I could fill them out on Friday. Wish me luck.

I'm going to go curl up under my blankets now. I just hope to be better by Friday.

So yeah everyone, I am alive just lurking. Hope everyone is well.

My new tattoo...

Not really but I have a tattoo I got done last night. So now we shall do this...

This is the old one..

As you can tell, it isn't finished, not at all. The woman didn't close the tattoo as you can see the stencil marks. It's like she just tattooed within the outline. I didn't really notice that it wasn't fully finished for a few days, until it healed. It honestly doesn't look like a panther, more like a griffin. Even the name was messed up, she redid the lines a few time and on the head, there is a full line that wasn't supposed to be there.



This is the new one..
The picture is mirror imaged. This took a little over an hour to do. If you didn't know I had a tattoo before, you wouldn't know there was one there. The blending is perfect and yes, this tattoo isn't even 24 hours old so it does look rough. He blended the whiskers on the right into the wings on the last one. The white spot was from the gauze I used to blot the leaking ink. Yeah, I have leakage due to the extra ink and the antibiotic ointment. He freehanded all the details, the only thing he used to go by on my skin was the actual head. We had the laptop sitting on the kitchen table and he followed the other one I saw. Which, here is the original that he went from.

He had to improvise certain areas. Also, I believe this is a copy written tattoo from Japan. Yes, the original artist is from Japan. There wasn't a huge improvision but it was more to do with the original and covering it up.


When hubby takes more pics later on this week when it heals more, I will post them.

I am happy because it was very close to what the original picture was. He is so talented to have been able to freehand all the details.

Update since I know people are worried.

With the cold front moving through Florida, ( It's currently 47 degrees) I ended up getting sick again. My throat burns and my chest is all congesty. My feet and hands are constantly cold. Someone sure lied when they said Florida was the sunshine state.

I will say though, I was bawling last night. Mother in law gave us this three shelf glass stand (It only had 2 shelves because one broke).

I have this tea set (Bunny would love it, it has Bunnies all over it, has little tea cups, the saucers for them, little spoons, napkin holders, the tea pot, the cream pitcher and sugar dish) that Patrick got me a few years back. Said set has been through four owners. First Mother in laws friend, then mother in law, then sister in law, then me. She had it in a yard sale so Hubby got it for me. One of the first nice things he got me, in other words, the thing was so old, the box was really faded.

When we lived in the apartment, I never put it out. When we moved here, I took it out of the box and then set it up on the kitchen counter. Once Brother in law moved in, I moved it again due to his microwave.

So I had my tea set displayed on the glass stand. I understand dogs will be dogs but Spaz ( the brother in laws pitt bull, has been really going after Daisy the past few weeks) lives up to her name.

My baby was on the loveseat sleeping soundly, when Spaz ran in and bit at her, waking Daisy. Now she's just like her Momma, mad as a wet hornet when she is woke up. Daisy snapped at Spaz and laid back down to sleep. I told Spaz five or six times to stop and lay down.

I had just adverted my attention for a second when Spaz started bouncing around again..All I heard was Thump, Thump, Crash and a shatter.

She ran into the stand and bumped it enough for the top shelf to slip off it's holding and crash onto the second shelf, which in turn broke in half ( at a diagonal angle) and landed on top of my tea set.

There is only six or seven peices that survived the crash. The entire set as well as one of my shelves are gone. I still get teary eyed when I think about it. That was the first nice thing my husband really got for me and I held onto it for years. I looked online before and that set can't be found anywhere.

While I am upset, I would have been irate if it had been the glass unicorns and horses my dad got for me before he died and I recieved them for that Christmas.

I can't believe it's gone. I know it's just material but still. For once Daisy didn't do anything to Spaz to warrent that behavior. Yeah I know he was supposed to be gone on the first but he is still here. I knew hubby wouldn't kick him out.

Other than that, still raising dragons and still trying to stay warm. I need to update my dragons on my blog but I am so tired. I haven't been doing much online. Now if I could just find Akiyama-san's address I would be set.

I am off to sleep now. This Theraflu is kicking in quick. Hopefully I won't be down for long with this but knowing how hard it is for me to get better, I foresee me being cramped in bed this weekend, which bites because we were going to take Daisy to Petco to be spoiled.

New Years Resolution Thingy

Yep..It's time.

Today as of 2 pm.. I am putting down my cigareetes for good. No more smoking.

I was thinking and remembered that for the past year I have let my father down. I promised him the last time I talked to him before he passed, I would quit. I still haven't full filled that promise.

So today, I am doing so.

I'm going to need super support. But this place will be clean by the time Patrick gets home. We are talking super cleaning. Even if I have to leave Daisy over at Josh's for a while or in the living room, it's gonna get done. So if anyone calls, I'm sorry for them. I won't be answering.


So from what I heard, rumor wise, I can't use the All Stars as inspiration, They all smoke. As I said Rumor... well except for Nagano and Takeda, that was proven that they do. I'm going to use my dad as my inspiration..

*starts to fan her nose* Daisy just farted again. Man does it stink.;........:(
