One bad apple..

Really can spoil it for the WHOLE bunch. I swear folks take my kindness for weakness or maybe my kindness has become a weakness, but I recently found out I was blatantly LIED to and burned by someone I call(ed) a friend. The review is still out on whether or not they'll still be called a friend, but I know I won't be a sucker! I'm really surprised at their actions and I kinda want to put em on blast but I'm not the e-beefing type but I had to get some of this anger out of my head. I talked to them and they gave me this sob story and they apologized (not sure it was an apology because they got caught or an apology for their actions) and said "I'll make it up to you" No, don't make it up to me, make it up to yourself. Folks, your word in most cases is the most valuable asset you can have. If you can't stand behind your word and follow through on what you said, then that means I really can't trust you. And if I can't trust you, I have no reason for you to be in my life. Period. Yea, they say actions speak louder than words, but words are what put actions into motion.

I'm fed up with so many people these days. It's almost as if it's time for me to start over. I always look to myself first to see if it is something that I am doing before I cast blame on others, but it is honestly not anything I'm doing to cause all these "issues".

I'm trying to not let this one bad apple spoil my niceness for anyone else who comes along, but man, it's hard to not say to hell with all of you and your problems, figure it out on your own. Don't come to me for diddly-squat! and someone had the nerve to call me selfish..Angie is a lot of things, but SELFISH is definitely NOT one of them..miss me with that BS!


Brown..out!

Oh hiking we shall geaux..

Today Rockstar and I headed up to Tunica Hills and became one with nature. The Tunica Hills are about 45 minutes driving from Baton Rouge and it's a place that has hiking, scenic views and several waterfalls. The hills can be quite steep in certain areas and will wear you out by the end of a day. I didn't hike the entire trail but I did knock out a chunk of it. Armed with a camera, water, food and my doggy, I set out and had a great time! To my surprise, my allergies weren't even a major issue while out there but man, as I'm sitting here writing this here entry I'm all kinda congested waiting on the meds to let me breathe freely again.

He walked off leash most of the day and by this point I think he was ready for me to pick him up and carry him back to the car

This was the end result of our day of hiking. He was exhausted and so was I!

I had a good time today, even though I was by myself. As of late that has been a semi-issue for me, one friend told me I was the most independent person she knows, well, that's just who I am. Life will go on with or with out me, so I chose to be apart of life and do things, even if I do end up doing them by myself (or with Rocky). This pic didn't come out well but I thought it looked cool anyway..

Moments like this..

make me really miss not living in the same city and state as my nieces and nephews. Although I've had "aunie" called 50-11 thousand times since I've been in town. They're all growing up way too fast! And I actually feel a lil bit sorry for Rocky when all 4 of them are together, he doesn't get a break from the attention, that surprisingly he doesn't always want.

I was the only one who didn't get the be silly memo!

I still got it!Trae (my sister's oldest son)
Dori (my brothers oldest daughter)
Lauren (my brother's youngest daughter)

Stan the man who wanted to take a picture of me instead of me taking his (didn't realize he had all the candy residual still on his face ha ha)

These 2 actually had a moment where they were getting along.

This is my serious face!

Take 2!

It's been great spending some QT with the kids and they don't mind me with all the picture taking, as long as they get to take a few shots with the camera as well and with that I found this lovely gem when I uploaded some pics...ha ha they're funny!
