why oh why

Why am I blogging when it's 10 and I have work in the morning and still half of my stuff to unpack. I don't know why...ha. well at least I forced myself to pack a lunch for work tomorrow and decorated my Christmas tree and switched out one book shelf. That's a start I suppose. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to unpacking my tub and duffle bag.

I can't believe I only have 3 weeks until my Christmas break! I'm trying to make plans here and I'm freaking out in my head a little that I only have 3 weeks! jeez... Well I'm going to go because Brothers and Sisters is on, I heart that show! Also I need to pay my internet bill now too.

oh jane...

For the record I heart Jane Austen and kinda sure she makes the world go round... oh Mr. Darcy...

My forehead is really dry

This is how excited I am for Thanksgiving!!!

ok, well my forehead is really dry and I don't know why. Also I'm going home today for Thanksgiving! Hopefully I'll get back at a respectable time... I'm so stinkin' tired though! Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake and not die. Ok. I love half days!!! ok well I have to pack up my laptop, pack up my car, and take out the trash!

gonna have the whole world on a plate!

I felt cute at church today, so I was like I need to take a pic! ha, I am a dork...



"How can people worship a homeless man on Sunday, then walk past and ignore one on Monday?-Shane Caliborne




So, I this is dorky, but someone called me pretty today and was serious and not a member of my family. Again, I know this is dorky but it made me happy! So in serious news I had an amazing weekend. I'm really nervous about school tomorrow, because there's a "situation." All I can do is pray all day though and hope everything works out. Hopefully it will, I need to talk to someone on Tuesday as well and I'm hoping that works out good... It's weird having to like "talk" to older people about their actions and behaviors...just plain weird.

Meat nor drink nor money have I none

This is from the summer time, now gas is $1.64 here. These are some crazy times!

Wow! I can't believe it's almost thanksgiving and I've been in this strange land so long, ha. I went to my first crop last night! It was a lot of fun! I got a ton of Christmas cards done, I need to count and hopefully I'm fully done with Christmas cards. I didn't get home till like 12:30 last night, man I was pooped. Mainly because Friday during school we took the kiddos to Naticus, which is SO cool! I want to go back sometime with normal sized people! I always thought it would be really dumb and all about the Navy, but let me tell you folks it is not! It was pretty sweet! So I planned on cleaning up all morning. But I usually put a movie on to clean up to and I did today, but it had subtitles! That always happens to me when I have a lot of work to do. The movie was Real Women have Curves. It was so good! I cried through most of it, but it's one of those movies that just makes me appreciate where I am in life and how much I have. I always try not to take that for granted and trust me God always helps me to stay humble and appreciative of all he has given me! ha. Times when I even have a hint of a thought in my head on how things could be so much better, God shows me how much worse they could be. Well I really do need to clean up. Sharon is coming over, we're going to a the Grand Illumination Parade downtown. I'm so excited! I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and invited her, she really is a good friend and person to have around. I guess she is really more of a mentor, and I'm NOT just saying that because she's old enough to be my grandmother. She looks out for me and offers me great advice and I am so thankful to have that in my life right now. Ok, enough is enough I must go and clean: dishes, put laundry away, scrub tub, Put scrapping book junk away, and then I have to go get gas! My gas light came on last night but I wasn't about to get gas that late at night, mace or no mace!

I just can't wait to be king

I know this is random, but I'm really glad I'm me! Ok, maybe more weird then random. I just couldn't imagine living someone else's life, but mine. It's not the most exciting or the most boring life it's just right for me:) hmmm, now do I have anything to truly update on.

Tomorrow my kids and I are going on a sweet field trip and I'm excited! Then Christi, Rochelle, and Victoria, and I are going to a crop from 5-midnight, which should be fun. My 1st one ever! It should be really fun. Then Saturday Sharon and I are going to the grand Illumination parade, which I am pumped about! yeah, that's my weekend in a nutshell.

I bought my 1st wreath today, it's just really silver bells together, but I heart it!

So yeah, not much else going on. God has really been blessing me which has been sweet to receive, as always.

I'm thinking about joining my church, but I haven't decided yet... weighing pros and cons and how long I'll truly be in the area. yeah

I'm really excited to go home for Thanksgiving!!! :D I'm trying to eat all the food out of my fridge. I made turkey tacos last weekend and I'm still eating them!!!!! Driving me nuts! Good thing they are delicious! ok, well I'm heading to read and then bed.

something new!

So I was going to buy a Wii with my bonus check, but now I think I'm going to buy something else and I am SOO excited!! We'll see if it really happens! :D

So I've been really busy with a lot of school and other stuff to do... But I think it'll be ok, just have to pace myself and then the fun weekend!! :D

frustration

I love the beach, to bad it's to cold to enjoy it...


So I haven't had a GOOD night's sleep in like a week. I dunno what it is, but it stinks! I just want to sleep all night, and not wake up at crazy times. And not be SO tired when I wake up. Norfolk might start a toll for the downtown tunnel? Crazy! That's the only way to get into Norfolk, unless we take the 30 mile tunnel from Maryland or drive all the way down to North Carolina. Gosh, people are nuts, nuts I say. Well I guess I should get ready for work, man I'm pooped....

Super Sunday!

So this has been an exciting week and weekend! Nothing extra special happened just little stuff. Church was really great today! I love talking about Paul, such an inspiration. After church I went to an amazing Mexican restaurant with the single's Sunday School class. It was really good. Then I went shopping and I was hit on for the first time ever! ha. I know a weird thing to notice, but yes first time. ha. I was in Target listening to a voice mail from Elma, and I laughed cos she is crazy. This guy came up to me put on his sunglasses and was like, "your smile was so bright I needed sunglasses!!" LOL LOL LOL LOL!! It was the funniest thing ever, I just wish someone was there. I said thanks and he asked for my number and I told him I have a boyfriend ( i know I lied after church!) It was too funny though! Yeah that's the end of that story. I bought a nice sweater and shirt...ha. Oh I made turkey tacos tonight! Stinkin' delicious! But I have a ton left so I'll be eating it for a while! ha. I don't think anything else is new. Went to the library and got some new books. They had Sex God by, Rob Bell! Exciting!!! Well, I guess I'm gonna go get ready for work tomorrow! This is gonna be a FUN week!

So i have an opportunity in front of me...I just don't know if I should go for it. If I do I think it may be a huge step towards what I feel is my life long goal and purpose in life... I am ready to start working on it? I've never even spoken my goal and passion out loud to another person, but God knows and he set this opportunity right in front of me... I know I don't have to make a decision right now, but I should soon. I think I'm stalling because I picture all this coming into place later in my life, once I was more settled down and secure. I guess God doesn't follow a time line though. In other news life in Norfolk has been going pretty well. I'm start to feel more comfortable around people from church and people from school are awesome, as always. Some time's awkward in bible study, but I'm working on it. So yeah nothing else to report. This Friday was rainy and crappy so I ended up staying in. Tomorrow I think I'm gonna try out the farmer's market. Also Sharon is gonna come over at watch Autism the musical! I'm excited! Sunday I'm going to lunch with Ali after church. She's a really nice gal who just moved here 2 weeks ago. We have a lot in common though, but she's leaving Norfolk in like February, a downside of being military. ok.

Also I have some really happy and exciting news :) We'll see where this goes!

you never know what you're going to run into

Ash and I at the Obama rally!



So I'm a little red in the face. I had no school today, so I was bummin' it! But I wanted to hit up the local thrift stores so I took my ugly self out. I found a nice shirt and some shoes! :D But that's not the funny part of my story.

I was in Thrift Store USA just looking around the store, to see if there were any potential awesome finds. And this moderately attractive foreign man who works there came up to me. He said, "Hey, can I help you with anything?" I was like"um no thanks I'm okay." Then I walked away and he kept following me. At first I thought he thought I was a thief and he was watching me to see if I was gonna steal. Then he asked me again, if I needed any help. I said, "actually I'm really okay thank you though." So like a minute or two pass and he comes up again, and said, "Do you need any help with the prices of anything. If you need to ask how much something is you can just ask me." So I said, "Doesn't everything have a price tag?" and he looked at me weird and walked away. ha. I really wasn't trying to mean! I did regret saying it the second after it came out!! Yet, not since now, like 6 hours later, did I realize maybe he wanted to actually like start a conversation with me but didn't know how to.

It made me think how many people we push out of our lives unintentionally (not just good looking guys, ha). Hopefully this will help me to be more aware. I kinda just speak my mind sometimes without thinking first... not to good.


I did other things today. Actually I got a lot more done today then I do on Saturdays. I cleaned, did my laundry, watched tv, read, went shopping, cooked, and then night time came and I crashed, ha. Oh, I bought a purple Christmas tree today!! It's only 4feet tall, but I'm really excited for it!

Yes, the true highlight of my day. It was a good and regular day. Danced around the apartment, made faces in the mirror, added some pages to my novel, started a new art project, played air guitar, took something to the dumpster, talked to Ashley on the phone, talked to g-ma on the phone, lit some candles, wore a hoodie, made the bed, and packed my school lunch...yea the usual... Now I'm watching tv and relaxing and maxing...

my soul aches

Deep down it's getting to me, but I have no idea how to change or fix it...

when life gives you lemons...sleep

I truly feel like I'm in a valley... I even tired hard today and it ended up being the worse yet...
