I love Jesus but I curse a little

I love Jesus, but I curse a little....

Okay, y'all guys, that's a damn lie. I curse a LOT, like, ALL THE WORDS. I say them. Probably at least a few times a day, just ask my friend Rachael who can hear every breath I take over our shared wall in our gallery offices. I do love Jesus, that part is true.

On Saturdays and Sundays, I curse even more, and I say "Jesus!"

Sometimes, I am asking him to intervene. For instance, when the Razorbacks were down 21-zip, Stephen and I were sitting in Chili's getting our pregame on before the Texas Tech kickoff and after checking the Razorback score, I said, "Jesus". In my heart I was begging him to get into those Hogs and help 'em out. I mean, seriously, y'all guys, I thought it was bad then! And you know what else? I heart me some Gus Malzahn. I am on the Gus Bus, every game, rooting for Auburn except when they bend my Razorbacks over and spank the hell out of 'em! Shit.

Sometimes, I am praising him, like when my Razorbacks pulled out that TD at the end of the TCU game in overtime a few weeks ago. It was a frenzy of praise in our house, "Jesus! Thank you Lord, Sweet Baby Jesus!" and I meant it with all of my tiny little grinch heart.

And then sometimes, I am just calling out to him, like, "Dude, are you seeing this shit?" This was the case at the Texas Tech game this weekend.

And before I get any further into this, let me just say, that generally speaking, we really love the folks we sit around at the Tech games. We get to sit in the section next to where all the players' parents sit, and the group of us in our little block of season tickets are all pretty passionate about our team. The seats immediately in front of us are purchased by maybe a group or something, because it is different people every game, but the same folks that were showing up last year if that makes any sense. So you know, familiar faces, but not friends. Acquaintances.

So we are standing the entire time on Saturday night, rooting for our Red Raiders. The stadium is buzzing with anxiety and excitement, the place is packed and our boys are playing well. It was glorious compared to the previous game. Keke Coutee, which is super fun to say, is running down the field, slowing a bit on his way out of bounds on the Visitor side and an OU player, who is supposedly hurt, and not even dressed out, Samaje Perine, shoves the hell out of Coutee, to the point that he grabs another OU player to keep from hitting the damn ground, and no flag is pulled. In my anger, I call out, "Jesus!", you know, in my "Dude, are you seeing this shit?" tone, and the man standing in front of me turns around and says to me, "Yeah, He walked on water and you shouldn't use His name like that."

So I'm kind of shocked, because a) Mmmkay. and b) he isn't my dad, but I give him a small smile feeling a bit like an ass for offending someone.

Shortly thereafter, The OU QB, Baker Mayfield picked up a personal foul for taunting and the student section, along with the man in front of me, who just reprimanded me, starts shouting "F*ck you, Baker"! Hypocrite much? Sheesh.

With me, you get what you see. I am exactly this girl. I love Jesus, but I curse a little.

And to all y'all who are whining about Tech being hard on OU, get your thumb out of your damn mouth and quit acting like you've never been a passionate asshole for your team. Pussies.

I did it!

Remember last year when I went on and on about why I couldn't finish any of my books that I had started? When I had a plan to write so many words per day to finish my book, and how I had figured out what I was missing? Well, its done. I finished it. 192,327 words. I did it. And I'm not sharing it with you. at all. I worked on it for months making it about someone else, but the story, my story, was so painful and it left me raw and angry and dark; I simply couldn't pretend it was someone else's story. So, you know what I did? I wrote honestly. I used the real names and literal events. I wrote down every single thing, regardless of who did what to whom, regardless of whose fault things were and I got it all out. 192,327 words of it. It was the most cathartic experience of my life and it took me so much longer than I thought it would. Sometimes I would write for hours, and it left me so drained I'd have to leave it for weeks, re-healing wounds, putting it all...

TWENTYEIGHTEEN Y'ALL GUYS!

Y'all. How has another year already gone by? And seriously, has it really been almost five months since I blogged last? What the actual F?!? Where did 2017 go? I wasn't done kicking ass and taking names yet... honestly though, I'm not even a little sad its over. I got a whole new freaking year to kill it. Right? I'm pretty sure I have hit those years that my parents used to talk about 'time flying'. SLOW DOWN. Or, you know, speed the hell up, like, get me right to retirement, I'm moving to Honduras! jaykay, jaykay. I am loving all the kids, and soaking up all the memories. I know. It only happens once. all that. So many of my high school friends/acquaintances have either just had their last baby, or are about to. And I'll be honest, I'm super jealous. There have been tears. Many. And I don't even like to cry. But then, I start doing some simple math, and I'm like, I will not even be 45 yet when my youngest graduate high school... y'all ...

Oh, how far we've come!

Y'all guys, I know you have seen the photos I have posted of the progress on our house, and each time I add some, I have this niggling thought that tries to steal my joy. I truly hope that no one sees these photos and thinks I am being braggadocious, to borrow a word from my least favorite president. If you do think so, then hopefully you will choose to get to know me better, because that isn't who I am. This post is quite long, but it will give you a fair glimpse of why I am so damn excited! This house building thing is truly a dream come true and has been such a humbling experience. Stephen and I have learned a lot about each other, and we haven't even considered divorce yet! Well, maybe over my mirror wants...*joking* mostly. We have been dreaming about this for 3 and a half years and have spent that much time working our asses off to make it happen. We have scrimped and saved, we have given up extras and trips and other material things so we could do this for our ...
