Echo Angel's blog: "My thoughts..."

This was sent to me in a comment by "Anti-Cupid" and I am very happy to share it. While I do not believe that I am really all of these things, for the women who I think are..This would be for them. One Flaw In Women Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have the compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Ok, so I started feeling better, and decided that I was going to get out of the house. So my wild brainstorm, I decided to call up and old friend, and take my wonderful boyfriend out to his first strip club!!! (Now we had talked about this for a while and he didn't know what to think or even if he would like it. If you know him he is kinda shy..so that would be why he felt that way) So, we go pick up Jeff, and head up to Indiana to Concepts. We walk in and Jamie's eyes got HUGE!! 20-some girls walking around half naked and then the ones on stage...well you know..... We get a seat and I ask him what he was thinking....his reply..."If I was single I would be here every day!!!"and" Guys with girlfriends should not come here...lol. Now let me back it up real quick..Jeff is the guy who took me to my first strip club..which happens to be the one that we went to as well. So Jeff knowing that it was Jamie's first time buys him a lap dance..(and dammit if I was in the bathroom when he did it) I get back I thought Jamie had gone to the bathroom himself...then I find out I had walked right past him getting a lap dance...not that I would have loved to see!!!!!! It was all going so great, we were having a great time, the as I was waiting in line for the bathroom again, I struck up a conversation with a few of the girls. Bragging that I had brought my boyfriend here and it was his first time and telling them what he had said. They started telling me that girls should never be worried about their boyfriends/husbands being there because most of them have men at home and they are just there for the fun and money and don't want the guys that are there. Well I pointed out that he was a cutie and had a babyface, and showed him which one he was..at that point they started talking about how cute he was, another girl walked up behind them and asked who we were talking about...I pointed to him...her response" Oh my gosh, I seen him when you guys first walked in...he is so cute!!" Now I am used to girls thinking he is cute....it does not bother me, in fact it made me feel really good...I just laughed and thanked them..then asked if they would wish Jeff a happy birthday if they had time...(Jeff got four boobs rubbed in his face at the same time.) It was great. Jamie was told by one of the girls that he had the coolest/greatest girlfriends in the world to not have a problem bringing their boyfriends there. Now some girls I was told would take their boyfriends there and get mad because the guys enjoy it. Some of the girls would ask if it was ok that they put their boobs in his face and such..my response "whatever you want to do" it's no fun if set bounderies at a place like that...other than the norm..don't fuck them....lol I thought it was a great night and we are planning another night out to an all nude one, while some of the girls at the other one are prettier, they are not as personal when they are on stage....put I am looking forward to taking him there...I may even let him get a lapdance from my favorite girl...but we will see...lol. Ok I have wasted enough time....I just wanted to share my great night and Jamie's first time at a strip club.....kisses...~Echo~

I am very sorry for the fact that I have not returned any emails or accepted friend requests..I have been pretty sick and not up to really getting on the computer...(if you can believe that..lol). So I will be catching up on everyone soon if you added any new pics let me know..since my alert box has been emptied I can't find out. Well, I guess I will do a quick update...a few interesting things had happened recently. I got a small taste of mother nature at her best..we had had freezing weather, snow, and ice...then it stopped just in time to get a large rain storm. I live near a creek that had been frozen over by 6-10 inch ice, well once that rain started the creek began to rise. Walk part way down my drive way and you could fish in the creek. It was interesting cause all you seen was huge blocks of ice floating down the road and in my yard. By the time it was over and the creek went back down, the ballfield next to my house looked like a ice skating rink. The road was blocked they had to bring in heavy machines to clear a way for the cars. I will have pics on here soon of the flood and the aftermath. So, then I had two sick girls, my mom and myself at home. It was not good. I have been suffering from migrains and a touch of a cold. The others were much worse with the flu virus, sinus infections and such. Ok well enough with all the bad stuff. I hope every one is doing great!! Take care...kisses...~Echo~

These are true quotes from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts', and are things people actually have said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

I know I have not been on here much, nor have I updated much. I have been under the weather for a bit, battling the insomnia and kid bugs. So here is a good update to my life. O.k. So, here's the start to my new year!!! Well, let's back up a bit, Christmas, it was wonderful. The girls got all they wanted and then some....lol. I got the Barbie that I had asked for...Yes, you read that right, a Barbie. I have gotten one every year for Christmas for as long as I can remember. You should see my collection!! New year was spent at home with the kids, playing my new addiction RYL. I have not been much of the partier in a while...lol. Now I am out trying to get a job....waiting to hear back from a tanning bed salon. The girls are doing great....Bre is starting a new program in school...it is directed towards girls to boost their self esteem and teach them healthy eating habits....she is really excited about it. Her grades are coming back up, the change in her meds seem to be doing her well. Peanut is still in piano classes. She had a recital before Christmas, and did wonderful. She is becoming more and more active in her church group too. And then there is Bear......well, as usual she is the rotten monkey she always is. She had a hearing test the other day and scored on the low end of it. The doctor is not concerned just yet, wants to have her tested again in 6 months....after all the surgeries she has had, I really never expected this. Alrighty then, I hope everyone had a great start to their new year, and may you and yours be blessed. Echo Angel
