where were you a week ago?

I miss this...
Howdy partners, this just out I'm cold. It was so warm here yesterday that I set my heat at 60 degrees and forgot to turn it back up while I was sleeping AND I was wearing summer pjs AND I didn't even have my real cover with me cos I'm taking it home. Oh the insaneness! My nose was so cold this morning I got a wash cloth ran it under hot water and held it on my nose for like 2 minutes. That is my excited already for the morning. Now I'm just having my OJ and cheerios.

I had an amazing time last night! I made some turkey tacos and made my friends wear turkey hats! ha, they even allowed me to take 3 pictures, lol. I really enjoy these ladies though, it's nice to have friends my age here who I can laugh and giggle with, lol. And who love to read! ha. Random but last night they raided my book collection which made me happy and made me want to bring more of my books back here.

Umm ok nothing else. My cat peed on a balloon the previous night at 4:44am and it woke me up and scared the crap out of me, long story to how this happened. But I learned that 1. mopping isn't fun at 4:44am 2. I'm not a cat person. I haven't even looked at my cat since then! ha. Speaking of the devil I hear him pooping, yuck! Why do cats do that??

SOOOOOO. I'm going home this weekend!! I am so excited to see all my lovies! ha. Lovies. And I am excited to go to my church back home, cos I feel like I haven't been there forever. Also, excited to play bingo! Of course I never win when I play, but I love old people and games. In that order.

I feel like I've been in deep thought a lot lately. Which is weird and not me at all! But I just have a lot on my mind. Personal and work things. My friend at work, pretty much has had his life ruined and I feel like I'm taking really hard and I don't know why...Guess it hits close to home. ok. I have to go make the big bucks!

hold on my child, joy comes in the morning.

“Most of us can read the writing on the wall;
we just assume it's addressed to someone else.”
~Ivern Ball
This is how I feel a lot of the time. I just can't believe how blessed and lucky I am. Sometime I'm just like, God why have you given me all this when I'm a crazy crappy sinner, ha. Weird I know. I mean I have great family and friends, what else could a girl want? And what else i do want, I suppose it's not time for me to get! *le sigh*. I dunno I think I've realized lately that I have a strong fear of always being replaced, odd, I know, but I really do... Like people will forget me and go with the newer model. odd, weird, sad, I know...ha.

I took a test from the health and wellness people at work. Even though I'm really fat (duh!) I'm still 75% healthy. So I suppose that's kinda some good/bad news, ha. Made me laugh. I had my one ACE today who is kinda odd. She was trying to talk me into being a foster mom?! Hello I'm 22! She would say something and I'd be like yes but I'm only 22 and I'm single. It was weird, but she's kinda weird too. I told her if I'm still single at 32 then I will definitely consider it, but anytime sooner and single isn't happening. She's Russian, I guess they start baby making and taking at 14.

So nothing else. Sarah King is coming!!! She must be obsessed with me ;) lol. I'm so excited even though I just spent an amazing weekend with her! Also, tonight I had a nice but sad voice mail from an old friend, made me really miss the past and think about how much I took it for granted... Ok, wow it's almost 11. I was waiting to see if Sarah would call, guess she didn't get my e-mail. So I shall read and then sleep, yes in that order.

X marks the spot on the box

You're my guitar hero! I heart that song.

SO I had an amazing weekend times 110!! It was fun. I miss Sarah so much, so it's nice seeing her! I love that I can see her on the weekend and everything just falls back into place like we never spent time apart. That is what I love about my best friend! I had a lot of fun and a lot of good food! ha. I did miss my church and am so thankful pastor eric's sermons can be downloaded as a pod cast! Makes life much easier! :D

Didn't do much of anything today, besides eating delicious waffles! Haven't unpacked yet either, ha, working on it. Sarah did inspire me to write some cards, so I did that. Talked on the phone to Celeste for a while. A guy in our Sunday School class is kinda stalker her. But he ships out for 5 months this weekend, so that is a plus! I think I'm going to go and really unpack and maybe then watch some tv I missed. I keep thinking today's Sunday. I love having days off of work! :D

Poetry, yummie for the brain.

Kids crying
Drunkards swaggering
moms yelling
men swapping drugs in dark alleys
cars crashing
people on the street
dogs and cats fighting
in all but forgotten neighborhoods

But… maybe
Just maybe
We can give the kids candy
Help the drunk
Cool down the moms
Take away the drugs from the men
Help people get out of their cars
Invite the homeless into our homes
and separate the cat from the dog
and maybe
Just maybe
We can make a haven and not a hell

–Isaiah Scandrette

Say hello how are you how do you do?

So Today was a wonderful day!! I love the Esther Bible study I've been going too. Tomorrow 2 gals from my Sunday School class are coming over for dinner, I am excited! Also, during the day while I'm at school Ashley is coming over to bake cup cakes for me to take to school Friday! What an amazing friend!!

So not much else is new... Did I tell you my note card verses? ha, I could type them up to take up space... because I really have nothing else to write about. Ok, so my note card verses, are pick me up verses to remind me that God hearts me and I'm His, I try to look at every day kinda like a pick me up sorta thing. ok Here we go....

1. Col. 2:10- I have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
2. SoS 7:10- I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.
3. Ps. 90:17- May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon me; establish the work of my hands for me- yes, establish the work of my hands.

So what I'm not your average girl?

Who wants to take me here?? (Norway)

So ladies and gents. I just so the best movie ever! Matthew McConaughey (one of the world's sexest men!) loses the girl to a midget!!! Isn't that justice. It was a really good movie, but hard to explain right now. It's called Tiptoes and I enjoyed it!

Today I cleaned out my closet. Didn't find any treasures, but I did find the Valentine's day window cling's I was looking for all month...yeah.

I was a bum today and made frozen pizza, now I feel sick. yuck, not even much of a pizza person.

I got the 1st two Dexter books at the library today, which I am pumped for. But I decided to do laundry and stuff instead of picking up my package at the post office and mailing my surprise packages.

So yesterday, I think I wrote about it, that it was a horrible day!! Today was much better and with 70 degree weather I really can't complain about anything. The library I go to is right next to the beach and there was a ton of people out there today, it made me smile! :D

Today has been good though. Did some house work, which even though I put it off, I find joy in taking care of my apartment and cleaning is pretty relaxing. I even fully finished 4 VAAP's today! hip hip hooray, only like 20 more to go, ha. Not much else is new. Tomorrow is Bible Study which I am excited about. I love Esther SO MUCH! It's just like the perfect story to make me feel proud to be a woman, ha, dorky I know. But when she goes and confronts the king I always play the Rocky music in the background when I read or think about it!! ha.

So one sad note. Valentine's Day is Saturday. So I have another Valentine's Day single. Being single doesn't bother me most days, but some days it does. Especially when February 14th is a reminder no man wants you...ha. ok. even pity, you will not hear another complain about V-day from me. I actually like the holiday and am excited to spend it with my kiddos!! And then Valentine's Day weekend with someone even cooler then my kiddos! ha ;)


Nothing else is really new. The top of my mouth feels weird... My cat is sleeping in the middle of the floor, what a bum. I have to put a towel in my bathtub now cos he goes in there when I'm not home. So I was sick of washing my bathtub every day, since I already sweep the bathroom floor everyday as it is... darn cat. How long do cats live for?? 2 years?

Somethings I'm really private about, dunno why, just am...

So you had a bad day...

Yes I did have a bad day. I don't even remember the last time I had a bad day though, so I guess that's good. It was the first time I cried over my job! I know, a wuss. But my one kid was going so crazy and it just broke my heart that I couldn't do anything at all to help him. I wish I was a doctor so I could give him medicine, the boy needs it! Tomorrow will be good though. Cos Tammy's coming! Her car is still dead dead so I'm gonna pick her up before work, which will be fun like a car pool! :D

My apartment is kinda a mess right now cos I'm cleaning out my closet and getting stuff together that I want to take home, even though I have 2 weeks. You can never prepare too much you know. I need to stop though cos I need to clean up!

Nothing is really new, I went grocery shopping today, which was dumb cos I didn't really need need anything I bought....silly me...oh well...

I am reading the weirdest book ever! So weird... I'm at a part right now where we learn that there are people who are living inside of whales directing the whale.... weird I know. I love the show Jpod, even more than the book!! :D

I need to go to the post office tomorrow. 1. to pick up a package :) 2. to mail a package :) So I need to get that ready, I love giving Valentine's Day surprises! and I love getting them! Picking up a package is fun:) Makes me feel cool.

Wow, I have some amazing chicken breast in my freezer. I used it tonight and it was so stinkin' good, I could have cried!

Wow, I swear I just heard my cell phone ringing in my bedroom, but it's sitting right next to me, creepy times ten! ok. I need to go and read my book, cos I'm gonna go to the library tomorrow after school. much love


OK wow I need to get a real job! But I'm to tempted to do this, so here you go Sarah!:

so not much to update. I missed church today cos I'm a bum. I had a fun time at Ashley and chris' house though. I bought my converter box this weekend, have no clue how to put it together though...might attempt it...I'm nervous though cos I don't wanna completely mess it up cos I still have like a week I can watch tv without it. I'm thinking if I should go pick up some groceries now...I don't really NEED anything though...so I probaly shouldn't. And I won't I promise you. I have an awesome idea for a pair of pants, so I think I'm gonna bust out the sewing machine, clean, and then figure out this converter box...


I think I might make a chicken casserole, cos I need to use up my carrots...

So I bought my cat a scratching post and I don't think he's used it at all.. what a bum! That's the last time I buy him anything!

I think I'm going to watch Mama Mia! today, I love me some Colin Firth!! :D

I feel giddy!

ha. I do feel giddy, like in a little girl way. I don't know why! haha, just do. I know that was random but today was a sweet day and I think the weekend will be sweeter! who ho! Tomorrow is Monica's last day, I think I'm going to cry... She is so amazing, she's who I want to be when I grow up!! seriously.

Nothing else new. I love second chances!! My cat is crazily playing with his toy fish, since he lost both his balls. Ha, not balls, balls of course. toy balls. I really love 30 rock and I'm glad I gave it a second chance, see what did I tell you about 2nd chances!?! Gosh I feel like dancing!!


:D

Love baby love is my theme for summer, winter, spring, and fallll

How do you do? OH my goodness the newest Office was hilarious!! I almost died from laughter! Not only that my heart melted, dorkily, when pam and jim shared a moment. I so want a jim/pam relationship, minus the whole being fake part! ha, maybe one day. No rush. Today someone was like, "oh sorry I forgot you're not married." I was like heck no I'm not! I'm only 22 are you nuts?!?! haha. I mean I figure I should at least pay off half my student loans before I get married, right? ha.

So not much new. Lame weekend, but I think a lame weekend helped me get over my sickness. Pretty laid back week this week at school, which will be nice. Bust week though otherwise, and it was supposed to be a laid back week. I need to cut back on the after school plans, doing a little to much right now.

So my bestest aide is leaving me to work at a prison, so sad... I am going to miss her so stinking much!! She's like my right arm, with ms. dawn being my left arm. So pray for me because I'm going to be disabled....

So I now have plans for Valentine's Day, ohhhh, with my favorite nonsexual person that I love. If that makes sense, ha! I love Valentine's Day, so much fun!!

So I've been working on my 30by30 list. So far I have going on a ferry with my car on it. ha. A great goal to have I guess. I think I may add whale watching. Since I live so close to the ocean and all now. yeah not much else is going on. Like I said before I'm pretty low key.

Sometimes I don't deal with disappointment very well and I'm selfish. Just saying.

I'm not a diva, but I wish I was so I could sing the diva song with glee!! Whatever that means. okay goodnight folks.

Oh, today I went to Target and bought nothing. I'm sad to say that's the 1st time I've ever done that! But I'm trying to cut useless buying out of my life, one shopping trip at a time!!
