The Countdown Begins.

Almost 2 weeks until we move. I cant wait, im really excited for this! To finally have our own place. And.....that means it almost time to get a puppy! By the way, we have decided against a Jack Russell, my mom says they are extremely hyper and crave attention (my cousin has owned 3 Jack Russells). I think we are just going to go to the humane society and fine one that we like there.

So....i really hate it when i buy something new i want to try, say like shampoo, and i end up hating it. I hate wasting my money. Dont buy this crap:





I had been wanting to try the Oranix stuff for a really long time, i finally got it and it sucks! I dont know what is with the shampoo but its really hard to work through your hair and it feels disgusting. I need really need to stick with what i know i like (which is Pantene).


I dont have any plans for the 4th yet, which makes me super sad :(. I love the 4th of July and as long as i see fireworks, ill be a happy person. Living back home it was easy to find fireworks displays, especially since there was one about 5-10 minutes away. But living in Springfield not so much. The only thing I've heard of is this "I Love America" thing, which its pretty much like a fair during the day then they but on fireworks and some christian band is going to play afterwords. Not so sure if i want to go to that.


All this week has consisted of is doing homework and studying. I have to tests tomorrow, and i have to get atleast a C on one of them (since i failed the first test in that class), in order to keep my grade up if i want to pass. So the plan for today is: go to class, come home, make lunch, immediatley sit down and study until 3:30, go to work at 4 and work a 2 hour shift which is not worth my time of getting dressed and going in, then come home from work, eat dinner, sit down again and study until i have to go to sleep.

fun day.

A feeling of need.

Do you ever get that feeling that your needed? I definently got that feeling when i was home Wednesday and Thursday. I always hate coming back to Springfield whenever i go home, but this time it was worse.

My dads health is starting to go down the drain, and its going fast. He is really confused as to weather or not he should still work. My dad has always done labor work and has always worked in the factory setting. In the past 2 years he has had open heart surgery, a knee surgery, then his entire knee replaced...so going back to work was really hard on him. He even had a spell at work and they made him go back to work when he suffering a mini heart attack, so my dad did not want to go back to work at all. He applied for dissability 2 weeks ago and hasnt heart anything yet, and i think he is starting to worry about being able to pay the bills. He has become more sad as well.

He seems to get in a better mood when i come home. So i never want to leave. I'm also very scared because my mom works 2nd shift and my dad watches my brother at night. Keep in mind my brother just turned 7. My mom told me my dad has been having dizzy spells, so bad that he even staggers. My mom has taught my brother that if something happens to dad, like he falls or calls for help to dial 9-1-1. She asks him everyday before she goes to work, the only thing is she hasnt taught him how to actually operate the phone (which i suggested a Firefly phone to my mom). I just feel bad for my brother cause he is getting all this responsiblity to look after my dad when he is only 7.

I just cant wait for Kenny and I to graduate so we can move back closer to them. I miss my family a lot, i know a lot people dont ever say this but i think that i could live in Union/Washington and be content.

I'm suppose to be doing research...but...

I'm writing a blog instead. Oh by the way, im in class too. Slacker.


So, i have this friend named Chelsey, and she is doing a journal challenge. Her current promp was to make a page describing a special person, and guess who she picked :) :



I stole this from Chelsey (if i knew how to link to her blog, i would do it.)


This totally made my day. I was actually having a super bad night lastnight. I just got this feeling all of a sudden that my friends back home have completley forgot about me. They get all excited and text me a bunch when im coming home to visit and we hang out, but as soon as go back to Springfield, i dont hear from them until the next time i plan on coming home. But, luckily Chelsey lives in Springfield, and i know she wouldnt forget about me even if she did live back in Union.


Even her blog made me smile, cause she included somet things that are not on the journal page. Of course im going to text her and tell her that Bone Thugs n Harmony was at the ball...and doing rap battles (duuuudddddeeeeee, i wish you could have seen that).

She posted this on her blog which made me drool:

Sookie!

Anyway, im heading to Union today. I have a doctors apointment and an eye exam tomorrow. blah. Having lunch today with the boyfriend before i leave, i cant think of anything on Glenstone besides Ziggies, so ill probably go with that, cause it does sound good. Diner food, yum.

I think im done for now, i just had to obsess over Chelseys blog :)

Loving the layout

I finally found a blog layout that i like, i think this totally cute. And i plan on changing my layout with the season....im weird i know.
I just found out that there is definently going to be a season 4 of True Blood. I just hate waiting a whole year for the season to come on though, it wont come on untl Summer 2011.

So i had my first test in my theory class and....i totally bombed it. I got a 44 on it :(. I did have an 84 in the class but that brought me down to a 57. Damn. Im banking on the quiz's to bring my gade up and keep it up now. I have to pass this class, its a required class for my major.

I get to head to Union this week, but im only going to be home for a night. I have an eye exam and a dr.'s appt. I tried really hard to get my dr's appt here in Springfield, but the earliest i could get in was August....but i need in now. I am happy I get to see my dad, since i wasnt home for fathers day.

So before the fall '10 semester starts I am determined to go here:


Thats right, there is a club in St. Louis that does an 80's night every Friday. I've been wanting to go every since i heard of it (which i think Chelsey told me about it). They do awesome events like every May they have an 80's prom, they have vs's nights like: AC/DC vs. Billy Idol, "Lets Get Physical" night. This place sounds like the coolest place ever. And i will go!

Survey about childhood

I stole this survey from Chelsey

1. Where did you grow up? Union, Mo

2. Do you consider your childhood a happy one? Yes, i had very happy one :)

3. Do you have any siblings? 1 brother who is 7. He was born when i was 15, so i didnt have any siblings growing up to play with
4. Who did you think was the smartest person in the world? My dad and grandpa

5. Did you ever run away from home? Ha, no i was to scared.

6. What about being a child do you miss the most? I miss the good cartoons on Nickelodeon! Freakin Rocko's Modern Life (my fav), Angry Beavers, Ren n Stimpy, Doug..... It's crazy to think that they are classic cartoons now, and they were brand new when i was a kid.

7. Where did your family go on vacation? We didn't go on vacations when i was young, but when i was in middle school we started to go the Lake of the Ozarks once a year.

8. What is something you really wish you hadn't started earlier in life? I'd think i'd have to agree with Chelsey, wanting to grow up when i was young. I'd give anything to be young again.

9. Did you have any serious accidents or illnesses as a child? I had a heart murmur (not uncommon though), i had really bad bronchitis and was in the hospital for a long time.

10. Did you have any nicknames? Peanut, Squirt, Teffee

11. Name 5 school days accomplishments. Oh geez....to be honest i wasnt the best student. Lets see: I got perfect attendance awards, I made A honor roll when i was younger, I got a blue ribbon on a science poster i made in 7th or 8th grade, I got an award for best play my freshman year of high school softball....and i cant think of anything else.

12. What stories have been told about yourself as a baby? lots.

13. Did religion/church play a part in your childhood social activities? During my childhood, no. But it played a bigger part when i was in middle school and high school.

14. What objects do you remember from your childhood? Archie comics, old school video games, Barbies

15. What was the number of students in your graduating class? between 200 and 300

16. What is one thing that you never did in high school that you wish you would have done? Umm...nothing really

17. Did you go to college and what was your major? Still in college, only 1 year left! Im majoring in Sociology with a minor in Graphic Design.

18. What was the funniest thing someone wrote in your yearbook? I have no clue, i havent looked at my yearbooks in awhile.

19. How has your hometown changed since you were a kid? Oh man, more stores, more resturaunts, additions to buildings. Its definintly becoming bigger.

20. If you could go back and tell your younger self anything, what would it be? Watch out for some people.

Oh True Blood....im so happy that your in my life again (even though its only been a few short weeks since I watched season 2). But i was too excited yesterday! Now i cant wait for next Sunday.
Another week of class has started, and it was really hard to get out of bed this morning. Actually, its hard to get out of bed every morning, even during the regular semesters.
(i just hit return and it published my post, weird.)
I've been toying with the idea of making a beauty blog. Im by no means a beauty expert, but i thought it would be fun to share the the tips and tricks i know, share my favorite products, my routines, and maybe do some reviews on products. I'm a nerd and watch tutorial videos on make up and hairstyles on youtube, and i look up reviews on products I want to try before I buy it. Nerd.

Grossssss

Today was a crap day at work. First off, Taco Bell messed up my order when i went to have dinner. Then, the girl i was working with came back from the bathroom and said she had thrown up, so i sent her home. And then......a guy, that was my dads age or older started hitting on me....it was disterbing. I was praying for a secruity gaurd to come by.

So the boyfriend and I plan on getting a dog when we move into the new apartment. I am so excited! I am definently a cat person though, i mean dont get me wrong i like dogs and cats, but i lean more towards cats. But, i havent had a dog it a really long time so I love how needy they are lol. Here are some dogs that we (or I) are trying to decide between:


Silky Terrior


Beagle (i have a soft spot for beagles since we had one when i was in middle school)



Jack Russell Terrior

Hello!

So this is my new blog! I was trying for a long time to get rid of the background on my old one and i couldnt, so i thought id starte a new one.

Life has been busy this week. I started my summer classes, and i go Monday through Thursday for 3 hours and 45 minutes, then i go to work. Today was my day off and I didnt get to relax. I ran all around town today trying to find a new swim suit (turns out i should have got a new one in like April). But i finally found one.


I finally started reading today, and im loving it. This is what im reading:


I'm only on the 2nd book and im already hooked. I love....love love love, and some more love the show True Blood, and i wanted to read the books. I read a couple of the later books descriptions on the back....and i have a feeling im going to be super pissed at whats ahead. But im not quiting now.

The boyfriend and I will be moving into our new apartment in almost a month. Im super excited to finally have our own place, just me and him. I will put up some pictures when we move in....we're going to have a fireplace, so im excited to show it off.

And speaking of pictures, i need a better profile picture.

Well, im tired of writing!
