Text before I blow your Dial-Ups to hell. So I was SUPPOSED to be flying up to Ann Arbor, Michigan today to visit my BF (who I miss TERRIBLY), but since I left the travel plans to my husband (I'm using his miles) he didn't pick the weekend I asked for. Guess when I'm flying out? EASTER WEEKEND. And it's a done deal. So, have fun kids! Dye those eggs with daddy! Not that I'm a Christian, my husband is - well, kind of - but the kids like Easter. But: I get to be in cold, blowy, ugly weather! For four days! Ha. It's going to be near 80 here. *cries* But I get to see my BF in the whole world, so life is good.


In gearing up for my trip, I've been going through photo albums and laughing about pictures. My BF's mom is my dream mom, and we like to hash out how terrible my mother is. (An aside: Joyce kills me, because she is my dream mom, too) No seriously, my mother is a HORRIBLE person. Without going into ugliness - that's not what this journal is about - I give you pictures of OMG and funny and awww.


Here's my older sis and me with our dog, Muffin. Do you see his eyebrow??? We left the back gate open one day and he ran away. Sad day in my house, let me tell you.


Ooh! Here's me being hammysilly at my wedding reception. My ex and I eloped in Vegas (classy) then had an Open House when we got back to Texas one month later. (Shh! I'm four months pregnant in this picture. Err, that's ecru, not white. Hee!)


Oh My God. My mom is wearing HER wedding dress to MY wedding reception. WOW!! Look at me!! Now, to be fair, it is from her third wedding. Or was it her fourth? HA HA HA!! In case you wondered where my self-centeredness comes from? That'd be my mom.


Here's me and my awesome sisters, both are on LJ. My older sister had just whispered to me: "Did you see Mom is wearing her wedding dress? Why is she such a bitch?" I think my younger sister is wondering why my mom is telling dirty jokes at my WEDDING reception in a very loud voice so people will look at her and comment on how lovely she looks. In her white wedding dress. At my reception. Confidential to Breath: I miss your long, blonde hair. Just sayin'...


I found this pic of me and my ex with my boy on a hike trip. I was about four or five months pregnant in this pic, too. Don't take pictures of me. It makes me pregnant. Huh? I am standing on a boulder, BTW. My ex was 6' 8". Niiice. Too bad he wasn't.


On my own... This is nine months after our divorce, just me and the two kiddos. GAH!! Aren't they the cutest?? I miss short hair. So easy to do...


Hee!! One of my favorite pics of me and Mr. Stoney. This was a fun office party in the CFO's backyard. They had a huge fort and swing set for people with kids, and fun stuff for grownups. Whee! I think this was the first official "outing" of us as a familial unit. I didn't expose my kids to men I dated (not many, it isn't fun dating as a single mom) but he and I knew we weren't going anywhere. Isn't he the CUTEST??? He came home today!! Weekend with my baby...

Pics!! I want to see pics of everyone. Indulge me. Make it a meme or something. Post a picture of yourself from ten years ago or whatever. Do it! I'm giddy and hyper today. Been walking a minimum of 6 miles everyday, feeling strong and healthy again. Sun is shining, the tank is clean... Life is good. *muwah!* to my Flist!

Best. Icon. Ever.

[dusty273.livejournal.com]

Love the pics, honey! You look so pretty in all of them. And I love your icon!

*hugs*

So much so that I have to temper it with "Dude!"

[solipsiae.livejournal.com]

Dude, you are breathtaking.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Fist of all , I love you.
Second , I adore your pictures. You were a delicious ( pregnant )little bride . I like your expression on the pic with your oldest boy strapped on.
But the one with your two cute kids is adorable.
And i wholeheartedly agree : the last one is so lovely. You look so happy with Mr. Stoney , you are really good together and it shows.

*Need to kiss you now Laura.*


I found a pic of me when I was five but I didn't put it on the computer yet. Will do. And pictures when i met my love ( sixteen ! )

Re: So much so that I have to temper it with "Dude!"

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

I'd have to second that. And your husband, and your kids! Dude.

And your mom! Hilarious!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hee!! I do love my little jokes... 10Q!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OMG, aren't my kids so CUTE??? My little boy breaks my heart in that one with the cuteness and the big brown eyes.

I was so happy to find that picture of my sister and me with our dog Muffin. He had laugh lines around his mouth, too. I'll show you in the accompaning icon.

*hugs you, too!*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Crud. He isn't in this picture! I'll have to find him elsewhere...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Whatever. I have jacked-up teeth (overbite - massive!) and a flabby ass.

And your cat icon makes me laugh EVERYTIME.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

My mom is a CLASS act. That is the LEAST of her sins. Best one: (not of the depressing variety) I've left my abusive, drug-addicted husband without a penny to my name (okay, I had 38 cents) and two babies under the age of 2. But somehow it's all about HER and how this is affecting HER. HA!!

I'll say this: I have AWESOME sisters and a great dad.

[poshcat.livejournal.com]

Squeeeee! What a great picspam post! You're so beautiful, and your mom is such a wanker. Heh. That dress, O.M.G. Poor, attention-whoring mom.

How old were you when you got married the first time? Not very, I'm guessing. And how tall are you? 6'8"?!!? Cripies. I would literally have a view of his crotch. Make up your own punchline to that.

Your kids are adorable! And look quite frightened in that picture. Who's taking the shot - Freddy Krueger? Your mom? Hee.

Your husband is just as adorable!!!!! You look very happy in that pic - no wonder it's one of your favourites.

PS You look like Elle McPherson in that wedding pic that was possibly taken in the bathroom. :0)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OOOOH!!! I wanna see pics of you at 16!! I LOVE that picture of me and my husband - we are practically LEVITATING with happiness at finding each other.

(He had a bad first marriage, too. We really appreciate each other, having experienced the worst type of relationships)

Pictures make me so happy! When crazydiamondsue first came out to visit/meet me, the first thing we did was pull out photo albums. She brought hers. Hee!! I'm going to have to dig out my yearbooks now. Shaved head Laura! *cries at the ugliness*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, my mom is HILARIOUS in her awfulness. Strap a Southern-Belle attitude with a dash of Texas-twang, and that's her. Nice. It's a wonder the three of us turned out.

I was 22 when I married the first time. I LOVED how tall he was. "View of his crotch." Let's just say he wore a size 15 shoe. Too bad he was an idiot. And unable to learn. *insert dick joke here*

I'll say this about my kids: they used to be afraid of getting their pictures taken (not sure why - maybe they know they lose a bit of their SOUL) but they do not have that fear any longer. Total hams.

I am LAUGHING at the EMcP comment. I have seen her in real life and she's GROSS. A skeleton with shiny skin. I am far from a stick, I'll tell you that. But I take the compliment with thanks and a giggle.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm 5'6".

Mr Stoney wins on grounds of Reasonable Height alone, never mind any other qualification.

You're so beautiful! Your mum is such a cow!

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

Oh, my god. Is this something that ladies of a certain southern generation learn? Because... Oh, my god, that's horribly familiar, though more with the date-raping boyfriend than your thing and oh my goodness, did this mean I wasn't a virgin?!?!?!?! Hadn't she taught me differently?

::hugs you retroactively and buys you a drink::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

There's also the attempted pimping of me to her wealthy friend (after it was apparent that he wasn't going for her), the gold-digging, and on and on... She's a peach. but I'll have a terrific novel one day!

*hugs you back, buys you the next round*
*takes us both disco/roller-skating, just because*

[mirasol.livejournal.com]

Babe, you are all just so beautiful! And smile-y!

I refrain from saying anything about your mom, because she's your mom, apart from "My god, how could she!"

I have just the one photo of me here at the moment, but I'm scanning it in right now.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Isn't she awful? But in a hilarious, lemme tell you a story way, to be sure. (Um, I really liked how tall my ex was - I felt TEENY) But kissing Mr. Stoney is far easier. Plus? The blue eyes of GORGEOUSNESS. Like, JM blue. You know, the color of the sea after a storm? *snerk*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Sheeeeeyit. I kicked my mom out of my life years ago to maintain sanity, so no harm would be done. It isn't one of those, "I can say it but you can't" thing.

I can't wait to see your pics!!!

[sangueuk.livejournal.com]

You look gorgeous!

Did you say you wanted pic spam? Here ya go. Btw, I have no idea who this woman is...

[spikefan.livejournal.com]

What zyrya said. You and Mr. Stoney are so gorgeous it's unearthly. Your kids are adorable, of course. Your mom, however, is one of those women Mr. Spikefan and I call a Piece of Work. Some P.O.W.'s are otherwise normal women who are a little (or a lot) overdone. Then there's someone who will wear her wedding dress to her own daughter's wedding. Thank you for a good laugh.

Now that you've opened the photo invitation to photos of any age, I will oblige you with the few I have digitized. See my LJ soon.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

My leetle sanguelina!! Joo are bee YOU teeful. GAH!! I need to drink with, er visit you so badly!

Spam me more, bay-bee!!

[sangueuk.livejournal.com]

:::blushes:::

I'll search for more pics and put them on my lj when I get the scanner up and running. I'll find ones of me as a kid. :::shudders:::

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Don't take pictures of me. It makes me pregnant. Huh?

Heeeeee. Awesome pics, and you're cute, I don't care what you say. ::clamps hands over ears:: LA LA LA, I can't hear you!
