Mattie Hamilton-Austin my great grandmother


my great grandmother Mattie Hamilton-Austin. The guy at the top is who she was going to marry before she met my great grandfather.



I decided to scan some pictures of my great grandmother as well as my nana and papa. I have a lot to scan. I wanted to have a way to keep them just incase something happened to them. The ones of my great grandmother are from the late 1890's!

something in my teeth

I hate having crooked teeth!! Everything gets stuck in them.
My parents never got me braces as a kid...money...and they didnt think about it and I am now paying the price. My dentist said just a week ago...I wish you had straight teeth they are so much easier to take care of. Well you and me both buddy...you going to pay for it? Cause I will let you!
lol

I am getting a couple of crowns next week, right now I have those fake metal teeth on. GRRRR...I could be that guy from all the James Bond films! lol

weird dreams of Godzilla

I had the craziest dream last night. My son was Godzillas owner and had taken him on a rampage through the walmart shopping area. While there, Gidgra (is that how you spell it?) Anyways, Gidgra pops his head up over by the community college (which is across from Walmart), because the college apparently owned Gidgra who apparently was upset over Godzilla and then a little battle between the two monsters started but my son jumped off Godzillas back while all these police cars came so he could go to Burger King. I was all upset he was going to be arrested.

LOL I told my son Harri about the dream and he loved it. It was the weirdest dream I had had in a long time.

Had my break down yesterday

yesterday I had my once a month "I hate people" break down. lol My mother says I am too harsh but you know...it seems like once a month someone always proves for me that I am right!!

We had one nice day so far in nearly two weeks of rain. RAIN!!! You know...I love a good rainy day...but everyday? The damn river near my house is going to flood, I just know it!!!

On the other side, I have been graudated for a week...where is my job!!??? LOL I have a damn Masters degree!! :sigh: Just a waiting game but I am going to try and enjoy my time off before I am snatched up.

Yesterday I had two crowns put on at the Dentist...OUCH!!! I now have two mental teeth...just like that guy from those Roger Moore James Bond movies!! Okay, well only for two weeks until they make them white again.

stuff and more stuff

well I am DONE!! My German final is on Monday and that is it for this semester. I wont be going to the graduation ceremony but oh well. could not afford the robes.

I send my stuff off for Doctorate school as well as several jobs out at the base. now it is just a waiting game. I am terrified. Terrifed I will get in, or get a job or both...and terrifed that I wont!! Ugh!! LOL

With the price of gas, my husband and I have decided not to go and see my sister this summer. Its only about 4 hours but still...thats a lot for a family of 5, especially when neither my husband or I have a job at the moment. we are going to stick close to home, same thing we do most summers. But we are saving to go to Disney next summer for my daughters 16th birthday. I am just hoping no major disasters happen and that I have a good job WAY before then.
