Hey everyone!!!  Carrie Iltzsch here...as some of you know my best friend/brother is in the Army and in November or December he will be getting shipped off to Afganistan or Iraq. 

I am opening up a program called Adopt a Soldier I will be collecting donations of either money or various items that they would need, such as the essentials and what not. 

I do understand not everyone will be able to donate so if you would like to get involved but cannot donate I will be getting the names of a few soldiers and I can get addresses and set up a pin pal type thing.

Letters may not seem like much but I talked to somebody and they told me that even a simple letter helps keep them going.  Thankyou very much!!!

If you could please repost this so I can get the word around.  Word of mouth is the best thing!!! :) 

If you have any questions please contact me...

Yea, so a lot of you probably know because of Eddie's lastest blog, if you've read it...our car is being stupid...yet again.  It sucks majorly, I wish I could just take it all away. But, it's not how things work in the real world...huh?  I wanna be strong because I feel like I should being holding my head up high even though every time I turn around either at work or finanical I'm getting a blow left and right.  And, if it's not that I have people pretending to be my friends that in all honestly don't even give a crap.  They sit there and talk crap behind my back thinking it's not going to come back around to me but 9 times out of 10 it does I just keep my mouth shut.  And, I'm just about done keeping my mouth shut any more.  I'm just about done dealing with people treating me like dirt just because they think they know more then I do.  And I know there are going to be a few select people who are going to read this and think it's to them specifically but that's B.S. because it's more then just a select few.  Anyhoo...I'm done griping for now...I just wanted to vent I hope ya'll don't mind or whatever.  And there are a few people that I just want to say thankyou to because if it wasn't for you...more specifically if it wasn't for Eddie and my family (eddie also of course) and a few close friends of mine I would have lost it by now.  And, I love all of you for being there for me and being honest with me and I appreciate that.  Love ya'll for it!!!  Talk to ya'll later....

Rain....wow.  Such an amazing thing don't ya think?  I mean it's the one thing in the world that I believe you could be any age and being out in the rain makes you feel like you are a child all over again.  I mean, just that feeling of a rain drop hitting the back of your neck and rolling down your back.  And jumping in a puddle and feeling the cool water hit against your feet and legs.  Watching it go all over and not being able to do anything but giggle.  Everybody has that one memory of being in the rain.  Weather it be playing in the rain with a friend, or expieriancing that first kiss that makes you see fire works...and the list goes on.  Some memories great or some not so good.  But, no matter what, just about anybody who walks out into a rain storm and feels the water hitting them and the sound of the drops hitting the ground.  It's just an amazing feeling.  It's like a time machine taking you all the way back to your child hood.  Any age...8-80 it doesn't matter.  It's still fun and relaxing.  It can help you forget all the bad and just focus on the now, or when you still looked at the world with child's eyes.  The innocent eyes that don't judge based off of skin, size, or disabilities...when you saw a person for who they truly were and loved being their friend.  But then you have junior high, then high school and all you can do is have the faint memories of those friendships because of all the trends, and the "popularity" wars.  I don't know....I think the world would be better off if it rained more often.  LoL.  I love the feeling that I have when I just sit and listen to the rain.  It's so relaxing and helps me get a lot of thoughts that have been bothering me out.  Things are just a lot better.  But, anyhoo...I went outside to watch the rain and started thinking about all the different things rain did for me and I wanted to blog about it. LoL...so I hope I didn't bore you to much.  Talk to ya'll later.

I'm so sick of things happening on the days that I want them to happen.  How come even though I might have had something planned for a while if somebody else has something they're like "oh, I'm going to do this instead!!!"  And, do they let me know???  No!!  That would be the intelligent thing to do.  They let somebody tell me for them becaue they are to much of a freaking moron!!!!  I know nobody probably has any idea what I'm talking about and that's fine with me.  Because, I really don't feel like going into it and everybody knowing my sad story and feeling sorry for me.  If we are close enough I'll tell you because you're not going to feel sorry for me.  But, be there to say hey look...there's a brighter side to this.  Even if to me there isn't at that point and time.  You're either going to read this and know exactly what I'm talking about, or read this and be like what was she on when she sat down and wrote this...but, either way....things happen for a reason I guess, some might be more painful then others...like a death, or getting wronged by someone who is supposed to give a crap about you.  And, others turn out for the best....maybe a friend moves away and it sucks at first but then it does't hurt so bad when you start to hang out with other people. Butm anyways I am going to get going....

OMG...I finally get to see the movie that I have been wanting to see since I saw the trailer for it.  Usually when I see a trailer and want to see a movie I don't get very excited...I'm just like oh that looks cool and then if I see it that's great but if I don't I'll just wait until it comes out on DVD...but,  Juno was different.  It looks SO funny and it looks like it's going to be an all around GREAT movie!!!  I mean don't get me wrong I do occasionally get this movie that I HAVE to see....but, it's been a while...all the movies that have been coming out I am not dying to see....LoL...but there are a few on my list to watch right now sadly enough and I'm batting 0 right now.  LoL and this would make it 1 hehe...see I've wanted to see Juno, One Missed Call, Untraceable, and The Water Horse....OMG....so I'm definitely excited that I finally get to see this movie.  Believe you me I will definitely blog about how GREAT or horrible it is...LoL

Talk to you all later...
