I'm crossing posting this here because I can *lol*

I had a little surprise in my email this morning. One of my best friends is a song writer and has mentioned many times since I moved that she was writing a song about me. I knew it would eventually get done, but I was not expecting it this soon. Well let's just say that it took me by surprise and got me tearing up this morning. I honestly didn't know what to expect. She has a great sense of humor, so a part of me thought it might be something humoruous, but another part of me knew it was going to be about our friendship. I guess you don't know what you mean to somebody until they do something like this !!

My Rock

Verse 1: Fresh air to replace the stale
Two rosie cheeks when I feel pale
A good strong back when mine would fail
A gentle breeze strong as a gale
She’s everything I’m not
She’s my rock.


Chorus: My Rock of Gibraltar
Is gone, gone, gone
I was part of two, now
I’m one, one, one
My confidence is cut in half
And inner strength, well that’s a laugh
Can’t even walk and talk
I miss my rock


Verse 2: Life lessons that she’d often teach
A good listener, but never preach
Refreshing as a private beach
My ladder when I just can’t reach
She’s everything I’ve lost
She’s my rock.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge: Will I find my strength without her? I don’t know
Can the memories sustain me? I hope so

Repeat Chorus

Well I wish it was *lol* The subject should read, Another day in the life of Mona, the boring Mona...... Ever since I started to work again, I haven't had much time for the computer anymore. I could easily make time, but I have a million and one things to do in the mean time.

My place still looks like a dump. It's still overflowing with boxes and it's a mess. I need to seriously start getting something done about it. It's driving me nuts living in a pig pen. I hate it. I guess I just need to put my foot down and start getting things done. I've been slacking about it the last month, but after getting home last night and seeing everything lying all over the place, I knew I had to get my ass in gear and get it somewhat livable.

I finally got to talk to one of my best friends last night one the phone. It was GREAT. I MISS HER SO MUCH. It's hard going from either seeing somebody everyday and talking on the phone everyday to not seeing them for god knows how long, and only talking on the phone once a month. We spent two hours on the phone last night just catching up. I definitely needed that. I've been so worried about her lately, that it was great to hear her voice. They finally have their condo up for sale now and her hubby is already talking about her flying out here to see me. So when they sell the condo and get somewhat organized, she thinking about flying out for a few days or so, so she can spend some time with us. I'm excited.

Now I just need to catch up with my twin. It's been impossible the last little while to be on the same time as her. I miss her dearly and wish I was there to keep her company. Hopefully things go right this weekend and we can finally catch up.

I'm slowly getting over my cold...thank god. I hate working and having a cold. It sucks big time. But what can you do. Actually on Tuesday, the 2nd assistant manager sent me home cause I looked and sounded like shit. Fine by me. I felt and looked like shit too. But didn't really relax that evening because we ended up going grocery shopping.

But I have been resting up after the kids leave for school. I've been going back to bed for a few hours to get a bit more rest.

Well, the kids are about to head off to school and I need to get ready for work. Till next time.....

I've been wanting to start my livejournal again, so I thought I would start with a completely new journal. I do have another one that is years older, but the name just doesn't suit me anymore, and I thought this was the best way to start over.

Hopefully I can keep this up. I think I will. It's another place for me to play and post my thoughts. I do need to find a layout that I like and add more things to my profile and such, but that comes with time.

I will keep my other account until I get this one up and going to where I want it, then I will delete my other one, maybe. I might keep it for sentimental reasons though. I have stuff from Angela on there, so I just might tuck it away for now and just go back every now and then just to reminisce.

Well this girl needs to jump into the shower so I can get ready for work. Let the friendlist begin !!!!!
