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?

It was just to much.

Lately I have been just overwhelmed with having homework and junk to do and just not enough time. A few weeks ago Maddie and I were both at home and Maddie showed me on her computer how she in excel made a spreadsheet of her week and what times she did what.

I just finished mine for this week and I'm AMAZED at how much spare time I have. Now I'm only working 2 days this week so that really clears up the schedule. I scheduled times for certain homework, running, and watching my shows and I'm still left with lots of blanks.

Hopefully, I will be able to stick to my schedule. Next I think will do a menu.

I LOVE when I do things that help me organize! It makes me feel so good and takes so much stress off of me!

Rain, Movies and productivity

Well as we all know, there was a hurricane. Luckily my family and I only had to endure some rain and wind nothing to bad. My mom's electricity went off early morning, she had to go to work for a few hours and help out with something. Then she spent the rest of the day at my sisters who did have power.

I knew this weekend was going to be full of rain. I do not like rain and unless I have to I would rather stay inside. I went to the movie store and rented us plenty of entertainment for the weekend.



Up first, Baby mama. This movie was funny, but not as funny as I was wanting it to be. It was good and worth the $2.59.



Smart People was next. This isn't one that I had heard about. The box just looked good. Turns out it was a little strange, funny, and romantic. It was also worth the $2.59.



What happens in Vegas. This one was good! I love movies where the couple gets mad and play pranks and such on the other. This one would have been worth $3.00 so it was definitely worth the $2.59.



Hotel Rwanda is a movie I have wanted to see for about 7 years or so. I read about it somewhere and thought it would be really good and still have not watched it. I found it last night in the 2 for $1 section and grabbed it quick. The not so happy ending is that It would not play in my DVD player. I took it back tonight but that was the only copy they had. I still have not been able to see the movie.

I also rented the movie Envy, which hasn't turned out to be all that great. Its on right now and no one is in the living room watching it. The last movie I got was Land of Women. I remember seeing previews awhile back but never watched it. After I got home Jana informed me that movie was on the HBO channels now and its not all that great. I think I will watch that one tomorrow.

Since I was stuck in the house all day I cleaned and somewhat organized my room, straighted the garage, watched 2 movies, did my homework, took a quiz, 2 loads of laundry and took a really good nap. I'm sure I could have done more but that was enough for me to feel like I was productive.

Yearbookyourself.com

I played on this site forever one night just trying to figure out how to save the pictures. Anyway, you upload your face and then it shows your yearbook pictures for different years. Here are some of my favorite.

1950 1958 This I think look like my Grandma Grandma.

1968 and 76 I think both of these look like my mom.

And my most fave.......1978

A small part of family history

My mother's Aunt, my great aunt passed away in June at the ripe old age of.....uh-oh I can't remember if she was 93 or 98. She had a home out in the country, never had any kids. Her husband was my mothers, mothers brother, so my mom's Uncle. Everything in the will was to be split between her 19 nieces and nephew. My mom and my sisters and I went to Aunt Virgie-Mays house labor day and picked up so furniture and stuff that Maddie and I will use in our apartment after I graduate. Aunt Virgie had everything that she and Uncle Lois bought when they first got married. It was so strange being in her house and going every where she would never let us, behind the counters and in the bedrooms. I guess since I was never allowed anywhere but the living room, kitchen and porch, I always thought the house was much bigger.

After we picked up the stuff we drove down this road that takes you to the pasture which is where (I hope I get this right.) My mothers grandparents settled, the first house they had (which is not there now) and where her mother and Uncle Lois grew up.

Here are some pictures from that day.

This is mom walking down the road. Moms 3 girls in front of where the house once stood. Look how fat I am next to them sometimes I think I might be adopted. I'm not sure what she is pointing at. Mom in front of her family history. The shirt she has on is from Honey Grove Texas. She and I went there this summer. Her grandmother was born there in 18??.

This is my car in the pasture. How it got in and out I do not know. That is Maddie sticking her tongue out. HA

What a mess...

My life is a mess right now. My checkbook needs to be balanced desperately. I need to do laundry, I'm getting to the stage where I start wearing clothes no one has ever seen cause all my normal stuff is dirty. I guess it is kinda good since I sometimes find new stuff to add to the normals. My desk is covered in crap, I actually don't think that it is all mine. My bed is piled with junk that I don't even know where I'm going to put it. Probably on the floor with all the other mess that needs to be cleaned up. Until this evening my legs were not even shaved. My life is a chaotic mess.

I meant to....

I meant to post this awhile back but was busy and lazy and whatever. I'm trying an experiment. I'm trying to change. I started another blog where I will blog all that cause its probably pretty boring to most people. I just look at it as a way to keep up with it myself. You can read all about the experiment in my first post I think it was sometime last week or so. The link is over to the side of this blog called "Amber is making a change."

Go me!

I made a 100 on my cognitive psychology quiz today! GO ME!

Here goes the first!

Every semester I write a blog about my first day of school. Mainly just because my first day at my university was so horrible that I posted one and every semester since my mom has wanted another. I'm already into the second week of school. It is a strange semester so this blog will actually be a first 2 weeks of the semester.

Let me start by telling you the classes that I am taking. My Mondays and Fridays are free! I have an Internet class called MIS (to tell you the truth I'm not sure what this stands for), It is a business information class. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Understanding human sexuality, and cognitive psychology. Also on Tuesdays is a lab for my sex class. Wednesday nights I have an economics class in downtown Dallas at 6. The reason I took this class is the simple fact that I heard the other teachers are hard and this one is easy so it is worth the commute. I needed one more PE class to graduate and none at the University fit into my schedule. There is a junior college that offers PE classes on the web. Basically you work at your own pace and time and just turn in some sort of info.

Now on to the first week! On Monday I logged into my web classes and I just had an odd feeling that the PE class I registered for was not going to transfer as a PE to the University. I emailed to find out and sure enough it will not. Which really irritates me because I asked when registering and told them my intentions of transferring. I then go to the school to change classes where I am greeted by the same man who registered me who tells me "no that will not transfer as a PE." Well, why did he not tell me this then? JERK! Now I'm in bowling, which is requiring me to have a weekly meeting this week. Which defeats the purpose of taking an online class that you do on your own time!

My MIS class will require lots of time and work so I'm not looking forward to that at ALL!

Tuesday I get an alert from school that there is a power outage and all classes are canceled until 12;30 so I did not even have my cognitive psychology class. I go to my sex class where my teacher is a very funny foreign woman who says "VERY NICE" like Borat. Then I go to lab and my lab teacher never shows up so according to the 15 minute rule I left. (That is the rule that if your teacher is not there 15 minutes after class starts you can leave.) I went to Kristi's house to stay since my class on Wednesday is in Dallas. I went to dinner with her and her sweet family. Then Nathan was so sweet and let us go shopping. On Wednesday I slept in and lagged around then we went to Eat and use the WI-FI at Mcallisters cause Kristi's Internet was down, and we were having major withdrawals. Then on Wednesday I went to class in Dallas to find out there are LOTS more than half the class commuting from commerce just to avoid taking the other Economics teachers like me.

Thursday morning I left Kristi's but not early enough cause I got to Commerce when my first class was starting so by the time I parked and got to class I would have been 15 minutes late and well I just was not going to go to class that late. So I just skipped it all.

Now all that to lead up to today. This weekend I emailed my cognitive psychology teacher to let him know I wasn't in class on Thursday and see if I could still get a copy of the syllabus today. I got a reply yesterday and he says that I need to read Chapter 1 and pg 34-56 of chapter 2 cause there would be a test today. Yah, I crapped a brick when I read that. I also emailed my bowling teacher to find out where this meeting was going to be held since all he gave was a time and no room or building. He rudely emails back the Hunt Center, which tells me NOTHING! I called the school and the receptionist was more helpful than him.

Ok so Starts today.........I am awaken by Addi screaming cause she was acting naughty and got a spanking. I get up go to the bathroom and what to I find that nice friendly monthly visitor AUNT FLO. I eat my cereal and instead of preparing for the test I'm going to have in 2 hours I watch the Hills. Then I leave for school only to find I am going to get to drive through Hurricane Gustov! I get to school and can not find a parking spot. I finally do see someone getting in to leave and so I wait FOREVER and have 3 cars piled up behind me probably cursing me for not moving, but dang it I needed to park. I go talk to teach and he is really nice but lets me know we will have a quiz EVERY week and that this class is hard. I take my quiz which had 6 questions....I got 2 right! Then I have to start my big trek across campus to my next class. It is raining and windy and I have on flip flops. There are a million people around and my umbrella flips up and I'm fighting with it to fix it finally I just close it cause it is pointless. Then I almost fall because the ground is so slippery. I get to sex class where my teacher puts up a slide of the Vagina, its a little uncomfortable. I then go to sex lab where again my teacher does not show up, oh wait no here she is she is 12 minutes late. She has us introduce ourselves BUT, when we say our name we have to also say a body part that starts with the same letter as our name....I was Amber....Anus! Then we divide into groups and are all given a body part and we have to list all the other names it has......my group is given....Vagina. It was strange and odd. I don't quite get what this has to do with Understanding human sexuality, but maybe it was just ice breakers. Then I start my long trek back to the car where my umbrella again craps out, only for some guy to stop and stare as I fight with it.

Tonight I have a meeting with the bowling guy who from the sounds of our emails already doesn't like me. Tomorrow I have economics which my book still has not come in for. Oh and I think I missed a deadline for a test in MIS.

Oh this is going to be a grueling semester.

Oh but on a good note I found out that a psychology class that I need and is only offered by the hardest teacher on campus is going to be taught this winter by another teacher who may be a little on the easier side.

Long post I know but there was lots I felt like saying plus it has been awhile.
