Half-way

Here's a rundown of the trip so far. I'm having a blast. The plane rides were uncomfortable. I sat by strangers which makes even more comfortable. I tried to sleep and was woken up as my elbow slid off my tray which jerked my head into the isle and was then yelled at by the foreign flight attendant "Get out of isle." I'm wishing for a window seat on the way home. The plane made strange noises and for some reason I'm the only one who looked around, I guess they were normal.

Drew lives on a farm but not a farm its hard to explain. There are horses and the prettiest house ever. They have 3 dogs and a bird. Did I mention the house is lovely. I wish I had more time to spend. We went to a place called Frankie's, it was like a Dave and Busters we won lots of tickets 698 to be exact. I won 75 at some kind of gambling game. We won 250 and 102 at Deal or No Deal......That was so fun. We played laser tag where I totally lost, but thought I had won until later I realized I had not and felt stupid for telling them I had even when they said no. Then we went to a Hockey game which is now my favorite sport. I screamed and yelled, everyone laughed at me. A few fights broke out which made it even more exciting. They Canes won! Yahoo! Oh and we made it on the big screen!

Today I got to Ashley's. She came to Raleigh and picked me up and we were so excited to see each other we talked the whole two hour ride home and would start talking about one thing and switch so quick we had so much to say and just kept going we were talking so fast we could not keep up. Andrew got home from school and we went to pick up pictures from wal-mart on our way home we ended up behind Monroe at the red light the got home and waited and waited on Zach to get home and he FINALLY got here and then I gave them the gift I brought. A game called Apples to Apples and then we played while dinner cooked and laughed tell we nearly peed. Ate dinner, played again, nearly peed again. We watched some TV, I of course fell asleep and now everyone is asleep and I'm awake.

Tomorrow Ashley and I are having girl cousin day and driving to Myrtle Beach! I will upload pictures when I get home.

Packing, Packing

I'm waiting on a load of clothes so I can finish packing for my trip. I leave on Monday for North Carolina. I'm going to mom's tomorrow cause Maddi is going to take me to the airport. I'm afraid all that I want to take will not make the cut.

I just finished paying all my bills, I feel so relived that I will not have to worry about any of that while I'm gone and the semester is over. This will be just a FUN relaxing trip. I should just pack jammies, HA.

I fly into Raleigh where I will stay till Wednesday with my buddy Drew. We are going to a Hockey game on Tuesday. I have no idea who is playing. I'm excited cause I hear they get pretty rough. We all know I am not a sports fan but I do get excited if I'm there in person.

On Wednesday I will travel 3 hours to Jacksonville where my cousin Ashley lives and spend the remainder of my time there. Ashley and I are going to take a girls day and go to Myrtle Beach on Thursday and the rest of the time we will just have "THE MOST FUN!" That quote is from an old movie called SHAG that my cousins watched and quoted ALL the time. Finally I was able to see and and now well we all three quote it.

Cookies

We had some friends over on Monday and made Christmas cookies it was lots of fun. Here is a picture before we started Icing them.

Maci and Carson has a blast cutting cookies. I cooked some of them to long and they ended up burning. Then some of them did not even cook long enough. Maci and Carson cut cookies from about 5-6:30. We made LOTS! We also ate LOTS! Gave LOTS away. It was a big mess but very worth it.

Shelby says she wants to work in a pizza place cause she loved playing with the dough. All Addi wanted to do was eat the dough. She didn't get to help long.

Parade and lights

Addi going to Santa's house. He was not home.....:(

On Saturday I went to visit the family and took Shelby and Addi with me. We had so much fun that Addi did not wake up until 1 on Sunday. I played taxi taking kids to lunch, cheer, picking them up and so forth.

My kids for the night. Brie is missing cause she was at cheer practice. We really missed her that night.

When I got there I thought that it was the night of the parade. I called mom and YES it was. I being the most fun Aunt EVER. Loaded up the kids and we went to the parade. We loaded chairs and blankets and went to the square.

Alex and Austin waiting on the parade.




Addi shoving cotton candy in her mouth.

We walked around for a little taking pictures with the decorations. Then we set up our chairs and waited...and waited...and waited. The kids walked across the street for some hot chocolate...THE OLDER KIDS, and came back with COFFEE WHAT????? Yes turns out the place did not have hot chocolate only swirls which were coffee and hot chocolate. I was a little more than mad that the place would EVEN sale coffee to children. I told them they should not drink it. They said it was fine after the parade we walked away with 4 full glasses of Coffee/hot chocolate, cause "It was nasty." I knew they would choose the right.

We had cotton candy and they still walked by and Addi still cried for more. People walked by with glow sticks and I was NOT giving in and buying those useless things. A lady felt bad for Addi and just gave her one.

After the parade we went home and I made dinner and told Selena that since I'm such a cool sister I would keep the kids and she and David could go to dinner. The kids wanted to look at Christmas lights. After Selena left she called and said to meet her at "Land of Lights." Where you drive around and see the lights. We met them there and the kids loaded in the bed of the truck. Addi and I sat inside the warm truck. After land of lights I took the kids to look at house lights. We didn't have much luck finding them. Then we went home tucked the kids in bed. I drove Shelby and Addi home who both fell asleep before we were out of town. It was a great start to the holiday season.

Addi hanging out the window. (I held on to her she was safe). The kids standing in the back probably were not but we were only going 5 miles an hour.

Addi wanting in the back with Brie.

Big kids all bundled in the back...Aleigh got in the truck half way.

The most wonderful time of the year!

My favorite day of the year other than fourth of July is the day after Thanksgiving! I love to go shopping. I usually stand in the lines grabbing good stuff for my sister to give her kids. That's what I did this year. Since the kids read my blog I can't say what I got but it was good. I left the house about 11:45pm. I went to walmart and set up shop in one of the lines inside the store. Jana went with me, her job was to drive around in a cart looking for other good deals. A friend of ours was in line with me so I was able to leave and come back. Shelby and 2 of her friends came along and I cut items out of the sale paper and had them on the lookout for them. Then they ended up waiting in another line for me. The crates were coming out of the sporting good door so one of the girls set up shop watching for certain items. We made friends with other shoppers and were on the lookout for them also.

The lady behind us in line was a NUT and her blood pressure kept rising and she was well just CRAZY. At 5 when the line opened I was second in line and got my items. Since I had everything with me I paid for all of it back there in the site to store area cut through the deserted food isles made my way to the front and out the door. I was home but 5;30 while others were still waiting in line. I grabbed me a change of clothes and headed out the door. I went to Kristi's through her front door to the garage into her car and shopped with her until 1 or 2, took a nap, at dinner, drove home, went to bed, woke up and went to work on Saturday.

It was "the MOST fun."

I only took the necessity's....Sale adds, Phone, and wallet. The phone came in handy Selena and I called each other all day reporting who had gotten what and so forth.

This picture is just cute!

I am alive

My computer is broken. I will get it fixed I am just to busy right now with finals coming up and I worked 46 hours last week.

I have not been able to keep up with my blog reading or posting. I feel so disconnected with the world.

I will one day have time to sit down and blog about my Thanksgiving and my 13 hour after Thanksgiving day shopping!

Hope you had a good Holiday.

Staying awake

For some reason my boss thinks that I should work, and has scheduled me LOTS the next few weeks. I need the money with Christmas and my spending habits lately. Finals are quickly approaching and I need to study and just get my head out of the pillow...AKA..stop sleeping all the time.

I'm in the process of training myself to not sleep all the time and just sleep at night. I try to go to bed at a decent time and then get up and NO NAPS. I think this is one of the hardest things I have EVER done.

When I go to bed I am so sleepy but when I lay down I am wide awake I have not slept good the last 2 nights. Today I worked from 7-4 and I tried hard not to take a nap when I got home but I did take a small one about an hour on the couch (my normal naps are 4 hours).

Hopefully my body gets out of the night owl stage and starts sleeping at night and not during the day.

My boss has me scheduled for 42 hours the week of finals.......I don't think that is going to work.

Digging in the archive

I had to dig WAY back in my old myspace blogs so you could totally understand.

OLD POST: starts here.........

A stolen froot loop bowl

Let me take you back in time to when I lived with my mother and we went to Brookshire's for some grub! They had some cereal on sale and you had to buy a certain kind and you could get a free bowl!

It was the bowl of all cereal bowls. It was perfect! It would hold just the right amount and was easy to eat from, and it had toucan sam on it and said froot loops. It quickly became my favorite bowl. I'm pretty sure I yelled at Madalyn for using it before.

I didn't want the cereal I just wanted the bowl and the manager said I had to buy the cereal but the girl let me just get the bowl. It was great.

WELL.........I went to make me a bowl of cereal and GUESS WHAT...My bowl is GONE! Someone has stolen it!!!!!! it is not in the cabinet, dishwasher or sink. When i find it I'm going to press charges on the thief.

I think it is incredibly rude to come to some ones house and take their dishes away! I'm about to go insane! you will read of me in the paper later. "Local girl goes postal over dishes"
Ever heard "that's the straw that broke the camels back" well I think my back is full of straws, please no more.

UPDATE: THE BOWL WAS FOUND AND THE GUILTY PARTY WAS GIVEN A STERN TALKING TO! Moral of the story don't steal my stuff!

NEW POST: starts here....

Here is a picture of the famous froot loop bowl. That I LOVE!

Tonight I was at Brookshires and guess what. They have the bowls again!

The manager was walking by when I saw them and I asked him if I had to buy the cereal or if I could just by the bowl. He said "Well your suppose to buy 4 boxes of cereal and get a bowl free, but if you just want the bowl you can have it for .25. Yup that's right he said that I could get the bowls for a QUARTER. I grabbed 5 and am super super excited!

Here are all 5 of my new ones. Ignore the dirty wall behind my picture. I live in a house with a two year old, it happens. ha!

FOUND!!!

I have been missing ONE shoe. Not one pair of shoes. Just one shoe.

Today I found it. Tomorrow I will wear it.

Extra sleep, read all about it.

I am sick. I have a head cold. I am a person who does not deal well with being sick. A headache is the equivalent to a brain tumor. An upset stomach is more like Rotavirus, and the common head cold is like the flu. I just don't deal well with being sick. I have been ill since Thursday when my throat started itching. I usually have an attack of allergies and take some Claritan and feel better. This time it didn't work. I called in sick to work on Friday, skipped a Wedding on Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday I will most likely not go to work tomorrow either cause I'm not feeling 100% better. Most people still function with head colds not me. I have my vaporizer and Kleenex by the bed. I take meds to help me sleep. and I sleep all day all night. Usually I am better after 1 or 2 days off but since it is the weekend I'm taking extra so I can be all better for school next week.

I probably should not have cleaned the bathroom today because it reminded me of when I did, diagnosed by a doctor, have the flu. I would think I was all better and get up to do something and then be completely worn out and start shaking and feel like I was going to pass out. That is what happened today so I laid in the bed and slept for 4 hours.

What can I say I want to be a kid forever. I want someone to watch over me when I'm ill. I know that when the day comes and I'm a Mom my sick days will end. I will have to suck it up and deal with it but for now I will sleep my colds away.

The end is near.

For this semester anyway. The end always gets hectic cause all the stuff I have put off is coming due. Just for my sanity here is a run-down of classes this semester and what is left.

-Cognitive Psychology
1 more test! What is not so great about this is my grades thus far have not been that great. This test will require extra study time
-Psy 232 (the sex class)
A paper due over a fetish for lab
2 more test since I have skipped quite a few classes. This may require extra study, but not much.
-Economics
Lots of homework I do not understand. I have tried to complete and my computer gives me ERROR messages.
1 maybe 2 more test. My teacher is pretty fair on grading I should do ok.
-MIS
I'm proud to say I have skipped ahead since this is an Internet class and completed all quizzes and homework that is left. I have a Paper due next Sunday and a midterm test early December. Hopefully I can finish that silly paper tomorrow.
-Bowling
I still need to bowl 2 more times for my total of 15 games. I plan to go tomorrow and on Monday since the last day to bowl is on Wednesday. The following week I will have a final test over bowling terms????

That is it. That seems like so much less than what I have stressing me out in my head.

What else do I need to do before the end of this semester.
-Get cleared for MGT 307 so I can finish registration.
-Find out what to do about the one class not being offered that keeps me from graduating in May.
-Find out why PJC has changed their mind and now wants 2 more transcripts.
-Christmas shop
-Pack for North Carolina - since I leave 3 days after the semester ends!
-Continue to loose weight. Yup I'm at a 12 pound loss right now!
-Kick this diet soda habit and get back to pure crisp clean water.

Let the record show

Today I cleaned the bathroom, I scrubbed the toilet, tub, sink. I picked up dirty clothes that did not belong to me. I threw away empty soap containers that were not mine. I mopped the floors. I almost passed out from still being sick and mixing fumes.

I cut up veggies for my salad, I baked a cake....and washed every dish that I used. Put up every thing I used, threw my trash away. I even washed dishes that I did not use in my food prep.

I just want everyone to know that way when someone gets mad because there is a mess.....It was not me that made the mess.

I pick up after myself! I can't help if no one else does. I refuse to clean up after people who don't.

Also let it be known that I bought the Turkey breast lunch meat for ME! If you would like a sandwich I suggest you buy some groceries.

Oh and I started a load of laundry that did not belong to me either.

Happy Halloween.......A few days later

I worked on Halloween, I sweet talked the Pharmacist to letting me leave 30 minutes early and I drove to Sisters to take the kids trick or treating which is something I look forward to every year. Alex was to old this year, but I did get to drop him off at a lock-in. In his place I took Gabriela's friend "Speedy" her real name is Elizabeth.

Speedy and Gaby dressed like........rappers, heart breakers, something I'm not. They always said something different when you asked what they were.

The wicked witch and Toto.

We stopped off at the church to see Grandma, but we were to late for the games, picked up Speedy, dropped off Alex and got down to business. We walked several streets, then hit houses we knew. Grandma, my friend Jennifer and Matt and Robin. Then went home. The girls put all the candy together and my oh my did we get some good loot.

I went back over to Jennifer's were she was having several friends over. I nearly peed my pants. I can not remember the last time I laughed that hard.

We woke up early on Saturday and went Canton, First Monday. We were there for 3 hours which was plenty we had to leave at noon cause Aleigh had cheer at 1. We took Winston with us and he and Aleigh fell asleep on the way home. I went home and took a 5 hour nap, showered and Aleigh and I went to dinner with mom then had a slumber party at her house. We went to church then made mom lunch then to cheer again, then I came home.

Dipping Dots at Canton. The kids asked for these before the station was even open.

Very sleepy, Winston in his new shirt the girls picked out for him.

It was a busy but fun weekend. I miss my family so much.

Goofy look, new hair

I got my hair cut today and it is so cute! I love it. It still is long but has layers which gives it a much better look. The dead is off and I love it. I tried taking pictures while smiling but they all looked goofy so I choose to make and goofy look.

I have lots I want to blog but I have a migraine and want to go to bed, maybe tomorrow.

Phone picture

I was sending pictures from my phone to the computer and I found this one. Isn't this a doll! It's my best friend Kristi's son, Will. He is got to be one of the happiest babies ever!

Christmas wish

This is it, this is going to be my stress free holiday season. Here's how it's going to happen. I'm not going to go store to store trying to decide what piece of crap I can by for someone in hopes that they like it lots, so they don't take it back and realize just how cheap I am.

Point- If you want a gift.....You need to tell me what you want. Give me several ideas so I can choose and then it is some what of a surprise. If I don't get a list or an idea you don't get a gift.

Hate to be harsh, but I don't think I can handle another stress filled holiday season.

Oh I plan to be done with all my holiday shopping done by December 15th, which is the day I leave to North Carolina till the 22nd.

To help you all out here are some great ideas for gifts for me. (I'm not saying you need to buy me anything but if you just want to)

1. The new pink CD (I don't think it is out yet)
2. Anything from my Amazon wish list (Click here) some of these books are really cheap.
3. Socks, warm ones for my cold winter feet.
4. A day at the spa or just a massage
5. Chocolate covered peanuts (I love those)
6. Pumpkin muffins (I know Tiffany will take care of these.)
7.

I have drawn a blank and can't think of any other stuff at the moment. I will update.

Here is a list of crazy expensive stuff I want but don't expect anyone to spend this amount on money.
1. a cruise
2. a new laptop
3. my credit card paid off
4. the rest of my car fixed
5. a new bed
6. lipo suction
7. a date with brody from The Hills
8. a diamond ring for my right hand
9. an IPod touch
10. A plane ticket to Cali in May
11. A trip to New York


And I could go on forever, Its not hard to think of tons of expensive un-needed material things.

This is going to be a GREAT holiday season. OH if you have moved update me with you address for a great Christmas card.

Best Idea EVER

Why did I not think of this?

Here is the link to the news article where I found this genius idea.

My dating life is so boring, I'm starting to consider becoming a mail order bride and wishing my country believed in arranged marriages.

Carlos

Sometimes I like to hit the button at the top that says "Next blog" just to read what other people blog about.

I just found this blog that is I guess pimped out rides or something I'm not sure it is another language. I had a car when I was a teen it was a 1985 Honda accord hatchback and was a gold color I named it Carlos, some friends called it the golden nugget. This man has pimped it.

$1.99 has Hell began to freeze?

I got a phone call today that gas is $1.99 at Brookshires. Is it true? I need a shower before I grace this town or anyone with my attempt of beauty.

Has Hell began to freeze? What is going on? This is GREAT! I travel more than well anyone I know. When I say travel, I mean drive lots of miles in a short time going long distances. My travel is only to school, family and friends, not to exciting places. Well not that my family and friends is not exciting.

My point is my gas bill is about to go DOWN and I could not be more excited!

Please send gifts

Tomorrow Tuesday, October 21st is national pharmacy technician day. I would not have known this had I not gotten a letter from work telling me thanks for all my hard work. They should have sent a gift.

The worst

This is not going to be a happy post. If you want happy read something else. I'm bitter and sad right now and I'm going to have a woe is me post.

Let me just say today right now this moment I am jealous when I say jealous I mean hate the fact that I am single.

The one thing that is pissing me off today is the fair. Yes I'm once again gripping about the fair. It ended yesterday without me getting to go at all. Not even for 2 hours just to walk in and out. I didn't get to go AT ALL. Why because I'm single. That's why. Yes poor pitiful big lonely Amber didn't get to go the fair one of the best things of October cause she is single.

I asked friends, who by the way are married. YUP I have no single friends. They all went with husbands or kids or someone else. I asked my sisters, they were to busy. One with kids the other with school. I asked ex losers who even turned me down. I asked my dad, who had to work and then told me not to go alone, cause I was going to do that, but when dad says don't go alone I figure it must really not be safe.

I get to hear about everyone else and all their great fair times and see pictures and crap while I'm sitting all alone just wishing I could have gone to the fair.

For all you married un-lonely people that for one second think of being envious of my single life, my ability to go where and when I want. Stop and think of the things you get that I don't. One of those being someone next to you in the morning.

P.s. Madalyn is now my ex-sister for 3 days cause she did go to the fair with out me. Not only did she go without me but she didn't even bother to call and ask me if I wanted to go. After me begging her last week to skip school and go with me.

End of my woe is me post. I hope someone reading this fills sorry me. ha

Slumber Party!

Shelby had a bunch of friends come over last night for her birthday. I think 8 girls total showed up but it felt like 100. Three boys came over, they didn't spend the night. One lives like 2 houses down. The other lives a street over and the other kid I did not know. He drives, I had a little bit of a problem with a boy old enough to drive hanging with my 14 year old sister. I did some questioning and he is a kid from church. I'm still a little uneasy about it but you can't argue with church.

Jana and I had some friends over, Tesha and Debbie. The kids were outside when we were thinking of ways to scare them.

Tesha dressed like this.........

While I gathered the kids in the front yard for some pictures. They chose to line up by the car which worked really good. I happened to take a picture right as Tesha ran around the house. It was way to funny! The night was long. The boys left then I went to bed. I don't remember what time some time after 1:30 I sent Shelby a text and told her to please, shut up and forward to all her friends. It didn't work. I called her at 3 and told her it was 3AM and they needed to go to bed.

Tonight it is quiet and I like it. Addi and Jana are sick I'm not digging that.

I'm getting my flu shot tomorrow, I'm so not digging that.

HELP

Shelby is having a birthday party tonight. There are 15, 13 year olds coming over. I hope they don't all show up. The noise level right now is already to much, and I think there are only 8 girls here.

I know she has been waiting.

Selena has been checking my blog daily she says waiting for the day she is reinstated as my sister. The day has come. Actually it was yesterday, but I have been crazy busy and haven't posted.

She is once again my sister. We are actually having a sister night on Tuesday cause she will be in Dallas for work. She loves me so much that she invited me to come and stay with her Tuesday night. It will be so much fun.

Because I love her and we are so funny I will post this picture of her in my dads glasses. HA!

Ex-sister

This is my EX-sister. Well, for 3 days anyways. I know she is beautiful and looks sweet and innocent, BUT do not let it fool you.

I am mad at her because I called her last week and left a message and she never called back. I called her again on Saturday at 4pm left a message asking her to please skip work and allow the kids to skip school and go to the fair with me. She NEVER called back. The world revolves around me and she should have the time to call me back, single mom of three kids is NO excuse. I'm AMBER dang-it! Monday night my sweet adorable niece Gabriela called me to make sure I was coming to the football game on Thursday, which I am. I told Brie to relay a message to her mom. I said...."I called you Saturday it is Monday and you have not called me back, for that I am not your sister for 3 days."

For that I will post this goofy picture of her!
She did call me today and said that I called Saturday during her nap, I guess she napped until Monday evening.

Crazy lady

Every neighborhood has one I happen to be the one in mine, and I'm not even technically old enough to be it.

**True story happened tonight***

I walk into the store, notice people looking at me strange. Then I notice I still have my apron with icing on it from the cookies I had baked.

My poor children will be so embarrassed, maybe that is why I don't have any. At least my hair was not in rollers!

I'm shedding...

Pounds that is! I started Weight Watchers with my mom and I'm proud to announce that I have lost 2.8 pounds this week!

Want the boring details go here.

Cracker Jacks

I bought a package of Cracker Jacks the other day and ate them while I watched Jon and Kate tonight. Inside my "Prize" was this joke. I found this to be very funny.

Q: What did the alien say to the plant?

A: Take me to your weeder.

Hahahahahahahahaha.....If you didn't laugh there is something wrong with you.

Bowling

I am taking a bowling class this semester cause I have to have a P.E. class. I just have to go up to the bowling alley sign in and bowl. I took Shelby and a friend of hers with me on Saturday. The friend didn't want to bowl but she took some pictures of us. I have a big butt!

I sure hope I start losing some weight soon. Remember camera adds 10...20......30 pounds!

Kids are fun!

Last weekend I kept Kristi and Nathan's kids (My best friends). Chandler is about to be 6. Kennedy is 3 and little Will is 7 months.

It was so much fun and tiring at the same time.

Friday night we just hung out around the house. I let the kids stay up till around 9:30 since I didn't get there till 8. I told them the could sleep in their parents big bed with me if they wanted. Truth is I was a little scared and if I had been in the HUGE bed all alone I would have never fallen asleep. Kennedy quickly told me that they have their own beds. I REALLY wanted to watch the Greys Anatomy season premiere that I had Kristi tape for me. I had Kennedy pick out a movie. Chandler went in his parents room with toys and books. They were both quickly asleep.

Kristi and Nathan came home that night and the next morning we all went to Chandlers Soccer game. Then the kids and I went to my cousin Annette's house for a play date. The kids all played so well together. Annette's living room was arranged perfect for Will. He and I sat on the floor and he played in the middle of the circle so good. The only time he crawled out was if I left the circle. When we first got there he cried when Clay would look at him, then by the end of the day If clay walked away he would cry.

We left Annette's and went to Kristi's parents house where we decorated Halloween cookies with Grammy, Grampy, Aunt Tiffy and Uncle Matt. It was fun. It was the only time all weekend that I took any pictures. Here is Kennedy eating her cookie.

Grammy asked Chandler if he wanted a Pizza or corn dog to eat. He replied "No, my mom says I need to start eating healthy." Grammy asked if he wanted a salad. At first he said no that he wasn't very hungry then he said that he would have one. Here he is eating it.

Here is the cookie I decorated. I think it should be a witches pot, but it looks more like a pile of poo.

Here is little Will enjoying part of his dinner. He is so stinking cute and happy. He smiles all the time.

These kids kept me laughing all weekend. It is so fun with them. I get to see them once a week because of school and I love that part of my week. Plus I get to see my best friend.

As much as I want a baby I still enjoy going to the bathroom alone, not having someone on the other side of the door asking me if I'm going "pee or poop?" Only having one person to get in the car...ME. Not having to worry if someone else is hungry just know when I am. Not having to wake up early and get myself and 3 others ready. And the number one reason why I tell myself that it is good that I'm alone and childless because.....I can sleep all day everyday cause there is nothing else to do!

We fought and she won

Jana has been talking about painting the living room well pretty much since we moved in...over a year ago. I try to ignore her, cause I do not like to paint. I love the way it looks after and the actual painting for about 3 seconds. However, I get bored quick, and hate the clean up.

We all pretty much tried to keep from doing it, but she finally won Friday night at midnight. Shelby had 2 friends over they were roped into helping. We painted the walls Friday night I think we finished around 2. Then on Saturday between my psychotic rages Scotty and I did the trim and we all put everything back together. It is nice. The color is PINK. It says craft beige. I would have liked a darker brown, but I didn't want to paint anyways. One day I will have my own home and I will enjoy doing these things but not when I have a million things due for school.

Here is Shelby painting. Yes she has shorts on just not "modest" ones.

This is Amanda painting. Hannah (who I called Hayley all night) would not take a picture.

Here is Scotty working hard. Yes I think that tattoo is very scary also.

I live a boring life.

I stay up all night on the Internet blogging boring stuff that no one cares about, on facebook, just playing on the Internet. I should be doing homework, reading, exercising, sleeping. There are plenty other things I could do but I spend all my time doing crap on the Internet.

Please no one be jealous of this fabulous life I lead.

I am sad.

I love the fair. It ends on October 19th. There is no day between now and then that I can go. That makes me sad. Why can't it last till the end of October.

I have lots...

I have lots of things to post. Tons of stuff running in my head. Tons of stuff that has happened. It is 2am, I just finished painting the living room and I'm sleepy. Maybe tomorrow I will have time to post some of this stuff and relieve my stuffy head! :)

Oh, something great happened today. I checked my information online about the research paper that is due October 5th, and it now says October 12th! That is so great! I know it is because I prayed. I didn't pray for the date to change. I just prayed for peace and to be able to not be so stressed and to be able to complete the paper.

Tomorrow will be spent bowling, and paper writing. Hopefully some blogging will be done also, but for now I'm off to snore!

Oh one more thing....I LOVE MY MOM!

October

I love the 4th of July. I'm not sure why, I just love it. Love the fireworks. Love the hot air. Love the cookouts. Love the day off. Love the swimming. Love the red, white, and blue. I just love it!

I have always said it is my favorite holiday. Spring is my favorite season, the weather is perfect minus all the rain.

BUT...October is my favorite month, and here is why.

It is breast cancer awareness month. I love this charity for several reasons. One it gives me something to donate to and claim as "my charity." It also is pink and everything is pink. Making there be lots and lots of pink items sold! AND this is a little silly but because I have big "ta-tas" and have a strange fear that I will die of breast cancer.


It is also when the state fair happens. I love the state fair. I love the corn-dogs, the car show, walking all over, seeing strange folks, complaining that I'm tired from all the walking, all the free stuff, and BIG TEX! Every year I say I want to go to the fair. It really stinks when your single at this time and all your friends are married with their own families. I don't have a family that I can just pick a day to go to the fair and go. If I want to not go alone, which I do not want to do, then I have to find someone to go with me. Its really tuff sometimes to find people to let me tag along. If I wasn't so scared of the neighborhood I would probably just go alone. Then of course I would be the strange person everyone stared at.


It is also Halloween. I love to dress up. I love to be scared. I love to hand out candy. I love to see others dressed up. I love haunted houses, hayrides, mazes anything haunted.


October is also a busy month of birthdays and such. Boss's day is in October but I don't like my boss and don't stress much about that day.

Yes I would say October is a good month!

I want to cry...

I have a paper due on Monday. It is different from any other paper I have ever done in my college career. I have waited till the last moment thinking it was easier than it is. Every time I sit down to work on it I freak. I either start to cry or can't catch my breath. How am I going to get this done???

Crazy guy in sex class

Today in the famous "Sex class." For those who don't know I'm taking a class this semester called Understanding human sexuality. It is a psychology class I need. We have a test Thursday I really can't see not doing well on it. It is over the penis, vagina, menstruation, sex research and a few other things. Most of it you can read about in Cosmo. ha!

Here is the crazy guy part. He decided to sit next to me today. He tells me that he read the chapter on conception and child birth. Let me just quote him.

"That was a bunch of boring gross stuff. I'm not having kids I don't care what bleeds and what comes out or any of that junk."

One of the girls next to us said "Your not having children physically." He says "No my wife will not have children."

I have to chime in with "That is so sad. Why would you not want children? Your going to die a lonely man. Who is going to take care of you?"

I guess it's ok if someone doesn't want to have kids. I just think my life will be incomplete if I don't have any. Today at work, two people made reference to setting me up with someone. I said "Yes, I'm young and single. Well not real young my eggs are drying up!" ha

Ahhh The life of a Carny!

The fall festival is this weekend in this fabulous redneck town I live in. Shelby went with her friend and I was at home chasing Addi around and dealing with her not wanting to mind. She is so stinking cute but she is really having a hard time listening. One of Jana's friend Debbie's daughter Ashely came over and we decided to go to the carnival to play a game.



We rode this slide. We walked up this stairs that hardly accommodated my large bootie! The rail shook the whole way up. I wondered if there was a weight limit. I wondered it this was safe. I wondered if the creepy man at the bottom was going to touch me. It was fun even with all the wondering.

Then we hit the games. I only wanted to play one that I could for sure win. I saw one that said "A winner every time." I clapped my hands and said "That's what I'm talking about!" It was the duck one. I picked up 3 ducks, a total of 8 points and won a stuffed cat! Ashley won a red bear with only 4 points. Then I needed a pickle. Here I am with my pickle and my big win! I look much like a Carny.


The hat Ashley is wearing is from this dumb game of trying to get the ring on the bottle. For $10 we got the hat filled with rings. We didn't win. I did talk the creepy carny guy into another hat full of rings, we still didn't win. :(


Thought everyone would like a picture of a true blue Carny! My future husband ha just kidding. After I took this picture the entire thing shut down all the lights went out. All these kids on the rides were screaming. It was dark, I didn't know what was going on and there were creepy carnies all around. I WAS SCARED! Ashley said the the carny was going to grab my butt. I told her....."I might be 27, but I'm scared, poopless." Ok I was scared and poopless is not the word I used, but It was dark and I was surrounded by carnies!

What A fun $20 night!

P.S. These pictures were taken with my phone, not so great.

I have a headache

I have a really bad headache. It could be because I have not eaten in 8 hours. It could be the weather change but I'm betting it is because Addi has been screaming at the top of her lungs for the past 2 hours.

My hair woes.

I love long hair, and I love short hair, but I don't know what I love on me. I have had both and right now it is just growing. Everyday it is in a ponytail. I can not stand it in my face. Even when it is short I still find a way to pull it back. I wish wish wish that I could just wear it down and it not bother me. The last time I had it CUT was sometime in Kristi's pregnancy with Will, he is now 6 months old. I did have a trim in January and another in May. Gosh that sounds like I never get it cut, well I guess I don't.

On to the woes. Here is a picture of it now front and back.

I'm not naked I have on a tank top I just didn't want a shirt to hide the hair. Not having it cut in so long I would think it would be a little bit longer. Oh and that is Shelby's mess in the background.

Back to the woes....I don't know what to do with this hair. I don't know what to do to allow me to keep the long hair but wear it down. Seriously I break-out into a sweat when it is down. I wish there was a way to wear it down but up. Then if I was to cut it short I don't know what to do with it either.

Maybe I should just get a mullet cause they look pretty simple plus "It's business in the front, Party in the back." ha!

Ok so someone help me out, even if I don't know you leave me some tips!

Here is a picture of me from August of 2007, so a little over a year, Ok my hair did grow! There is short and long which is me?
