Mikala’s blog

This is a bulleting I just posted on myspace PLEASE READ and help out in any way you can!

Also, here is the URL for Camp Lickalotta's myspace page. Please check them out and read about the wonderful thing they are doing for the LGBT community!

In my top friends you will find Camp Lickalotta. This is a lesbian couple who happens to be GREAT friends of mine, who are starting an LGBT campground where everyone is welcome and safe. These women have worked so hard to finally get this thing off the ground and now, out of the blue, the couple that owns the campground they are buying the land from are discriminating against their cause, making false comments and ultimately saying they want my friends and their LGBT camp site out of there. Here is the article http://www.shelbystar.com/news/campground_29228___article.html/beasley_camp.html

Please help us to contact anyone and everyone that would be of use to help these ladies out! Here is their original Bulletin  (from Myspace):

" Lickalotta's their is an article that will go out in print tomorrow. Joe and Lynn Hoyle, from Golden Valley Campground have written this article. Go to shelbystar.com They have sold us out and have opened the flood gates of Hell for anyone that is full of bigotry and hate to destroy us. Yes, that includes the religious right...

Here is what we need for you to do, contact the news media, the HRC, the NAACP. everything, anything...newspapers, gay and straight, radio shows, tv stations and tell them that this is nothing less than religious persecution and terrorism here in America directed at fellow Americans. WE are tired,,,but we know with every one's help we can get through this. This article will stir up so much bigotry and hate it will have serious repercussion for ALL people.

Pray for our safety, pray for our event to be held, and pray that this will have a positive outcome. We are not only concerned for ourselves, but for all the other people that have to face this bigotry on a daily basis.

as always, never above you, never below you, always beside you...Love and peace...Nancy & Joanie

How did you celebrate Valentine's Day?
Submitted by Stephen.

Well, Katie and I couldn't do much for V-Day this year, because it was during the week and we just wanted to have a chill night at home.  So I came home and when i came through the door, I heard katie leave through the side door.  Then the front door bell rang... So I opened the door and she was standing there with a tuxedo shirt on and holding flowers for me!! It was so cute! Then, I walked into the kitchen and saw this:

She decorated our entire kitchen and made some hors d'oeuvres and had a glass of wine waiting for me when i got home. It was so nice... here's a close up of the table.
hahahah Chez Katie... and she wanted me to say it Chez Kay-tay so that it rhymed with chez... hahahah.  So then she made me a card...
and on the inside, she made a pop-up heart....
This is what it says, she made up the poem herself.... :
  Happy Valentine's Day from me to you,
  I made you this card with some scissors and glue.
  I love you more than I've ever felt,
  And calling me Bubba makes me just melt. (Bubba is my pet name for her)
  This day is for you, you have my whole heart,
  Your face wakes me up with a beautiful start.
  I swear I've loved you since my own birth,
  I can't believe I'm with the prettiest girl on earth.

I love you baby,
Katie.

Is that not the CUTEST thing you ever read??? hahah i guess the poems are becoming a tradition... she wrote me one for my birthday too... so cute.  I thought I blogged about it, i guess not... anyways.. so then, after that when we went to bed, she gave me my gift!!! It was a Journey Necklace!!

i love me some diamonds... I told her that I loved the necklace!  I think it's so pretty! but it's sort of not practical for me, because it's pretty dressy... and i would never get to wear it! So she completely understood and we went back to the jewelers and i got diamond earrings instead!

I felt bad about taking the necklace back, but I wanted to be able to wear it all the time, and katie totally understood, she wanted me to have something i would get a lot of use out of... so she was happy too.  I know Im a bitch, but frankly, I don't care.

So that was my V-day.  it was pretty awesome. 

I did a little something for Katie too... I don't have a lot of money right now with my new slave job and all.. but i managed to do something meaningful...

Katie and i don't have any pictures of us around the house. so I went out shopping and got a couple of cool collage frames and filled them with pictures of us and our animals.  I hung them on the way V-Day morning and so she saw them right when she came in! She really liked them.

I thought it was cute...

Anyways, that's it! I'm a pretty lucky girl!

 

Yesterday was my bestest's birthday!!! she's the big 25! wow, a half a century, you old bag! hahahah no sir...

I most certainly cannot top the wonderful birthday tribute that she did for me on here, but I just want to say Happy Birthday to my favorite friend and I'd like to wish you love, peace and happiness!  You've been an awesome friend and im so lucky to have you! Here's to many many more!

So, here is a pic of us together and then of course, the shameless... enjoy!

how does that smell dude??

PS i can't wait to give you your present next weekend!!!!

alison loves the goggles.

WARNING: loooong rant about my new job...

So, I have been sick.  It started last thursday night, went all through the weekend and then on Monday, I wasn't feeling better at all, so I had to go to the doctor's.  Turns out, I have a viral upper respiratory infection.  FANTASTIC. I was supposed to start my new job on Monday, but was told I was contagious so I had to take Monday and Tuesday off of work.  I started yesterday.  Feeling a little better, I have a little bit of a cough still but OK.  I go to work and it starts off slow.  Charro (the nanny/housekeeper before me) thought I wasn't going to be there until 11:30, but I got there at 11, so I just sort of waited around for her.... when she got there, she went upstairs to start cleaning and I was sent on a couple of errands... pick up some silver and drop off drycleaning... fine. I can SO handle that!  I get back and now I spend the rest of the day with Charro showing me how to do stuff, what she does, what the schedule is like, blah blah blah... I quickly realize these people don't do ANYTHING FOR THEMSELVES.  Charro does ALL the laundry, which is A LOT! There are three older kids and the new baby... thankfully the two parents get most of their stuff dry-cleaned... but anyways.  Then there is alllllll this ironing. This woman wants even her pajamas and the baby clothes ironed. Ridiculous.  Then she goes around dumps out all the trash in all the rooms, and even straightens out the closets if things are out of place or not folded right.  Then she goes into their bathrooms, organizes their drawers and cabinets... The majority of her time is laundry and ironing.  Then it was time to pick up the kids from school.  They all go to Catholic, all girls or all boys schools, private, very expensive... ahhh the Greenwich life.  So we get the kids, bring them home,  the mom is nowhere to be found. The kids start freaking out because they don't know where she is... turns out she is walking with the baby because it was so warm out yesterday... She comes back brings the stroller into the foyer part of the house and goes to me "hey, will you do me a favor?" and of course I say "sure, anything!" and she goes to me, "will you take a wet paper towel and wipe the wheels of my stroller off so i can bring it into the house more?"  And in my mind im like, are you crazy?? but I say "yeah, no problem".  So i get down on my hands and knees and start wiping these fucking wheels off... she walks by me and goes "thanks so much, michelle, I just can't stand the thought of not knowing that we could have run over poop or something while we were walking and then bringing it in the house."!!!! SO ITS OK FOR YOU TO MAKE ME CLEAN THAT POOP OFF THE WHEELS SO YOU CAN BRING THE FUCKING STROLLER INTO THE HOUSE????? I let it slide though... its fine. I did my job, im not a complainer.  So then,  it's Ash Wednesday, and the boys (2 boys, 1 girl) need to get their ashes, the girl already got hers in school. So I'm asked to bring these kids to the church... I bring them to get their ashes... I come home and thank god by now it's already 6 o'clock. I empty the dishwasher, dinner is ready for the three kids and the Husband (BTW, he is not the three older kids father, he's the step-father... just the baby daddy.). So i wait and talk with the kids while the husband comes down to have dinner with the kids. The kids are really awesome though. They are so smart and really funny. For example:  The oldest boy goes "Im going to write FU with ketchup and mustard on my hamburger" and I go. "oh really? what does FU stand for?" and he said " Florida University" and I go "oh, well if that's what it stands for, then that's OK." and the 8-year-old girl looks at me from across the table and goes "He can be so inappropriate".  and i was dying laughing... ANYWAYS... the step dad comes down, i go back upstairs so that i can finish Ironing. I Iron two shirts and go back downstairs because dinner is finished.  I clean up all the plates, and then there is a pan and a spatula but they don't go in the dishwasher and i can't find a sponge... I find the step dad upstairs doing work with the baby and I ask him where it is... he goes to me "Oh, I don't know... i have no idea. (the mom) does all that" so i'm thinking to myself... YOU DONT KNOW WHERE YOUR FUCKING SPONGE IS IN THE HOUSE???? ridiculous... so I go back downstairs and look all over the kitchen for a damn sponge and finally i find a bristly thing and one of the kids tells me thats what the mother uses... so i scrub that pan so hard for like 10 minutes, dry it and put it away... proceed to clean off the counters and the table, take out the trash, say goodnight to the kids and tell the dad i'm fucking OUTTIE. and this is just the first day of this!  oh well.

It will be good for me. It's a good challenge.. and im up for it. i need to be off my ass a lot more anyways... I'm NEVER sitting. there's always something to get done... Charro is going on vacation until next tuesday so I think when she gets back, my work won't be so much because she will be there in the morning so she will do most of the house work and i think i will be more like an errand girl and with the kids mostly.. which is really what I want.. but anyways.. I came home last night exhausted.  I have a new found respect for housekeepers and nannys of rich people... holy freaking moley.  I think the kids like me though... which is all i really care about anyways.. I have no idea what today is even going to be like... cross your fingers and wish me luck!

she looks like she is being blown away by the wind, not jumping into the water! hahah with the palm trees in the background... oh alison.

HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
