New Years...

So Christmas has come and gone and i was honestly glad to see it gone. This year just didnt feel like Christmas, i wasnt happy and felt alone. And the sad thing is im not looking that fowards to New Years. I'm always excited about going out on New Years eve, but not this year. I did get a lot of things I needed for my apartment for Christmas which is good, i liked my presents :).

So for the New Years resolution. Everyone makes this resolution and i make it every single year and never go through with it, but this year its going to happen. My resolution is to of course loose weight. I have gained so much weight and i am soooo unhappy about how i look. I lost about 20 pounds my senior year of high school and since 2008 i gained it all back. I call it the boyfriend weight, cause i was in a relationship since 2007 so i didnt pay attention to the way i look since i had someone who accepted me for who i was. I started to become unhappy about my weight over the summer but never did anything about it, but now i am actually going to do something about it.

The first step is to quit drinking soda ONCE AND FOR ALL. That is my biggest down fall is soda, espcially since my favorite is Dr. Pepper (dark soda is worse than white soda). When i lost all my weight in 2006 i went down to drinking 1 soda a day (i was drinking like 4 or 5 a day before then). I also stoped snacking, only had 1 serving when it came to meals and never ate past 8 pm. I'm not going to have a lot of money for groceries so i dont plan on buying snack foods, i also dont plan on keeping soda in my apartment either.

Second step is of course exercising. I have a work out facility in my apartment complex so i will start using that. I also plan on ordering Zumba DVDs. If you havent heard of that, its pretty much an arobic workout where you dance. This is becoming very popular where i am from and they offer classes at a gym every week. It claims that you loose 1,000 calories in one workout and you workout for an hour. Everyone who has done it says its a lot of fun so i want to try it. I dont have anyone to go to a class with in Springfield so im just going to get the DVDs.

I'm ready to start doing this. A friend of mine from my hometown has lost a lot of weight this past year (it was her resolution for 2010) and she looks amazing. She kind of gave me the encouragement to do this, just by seeing how good she looks now. So i am going to start this when i get settled into my apartment. I'll keep updates on my progress on here.

Go away snow!

So it seems to snow at the worst possible times. Yes, i do like it to snow around Christmas cause i love the whole white Christmas thing, but this year i could have done without snow, i just didnt it want it this year. But who knows, maybe we will go for a walk tonight (i can only hope).

I finally got a straight answer from him on why he hasnt talked to me lately. I just really wished he would have taken me and my feelings into consideration. I told him he needed to put himself in my shoes here cause i was so confused as to what was going on. He got a little upset when I asked him and he said "why do i have to keep explaining?" I of course had asked him before but didnt really get a good answer. Sorry but " i hadnt thought about it" is not a good enough asnwer.

This month has not been fair. You cant talk to someone everynight for 2 weeks saying all these cute things and pouring your heart out with these words of regret and then just stop talking to me out of nowhere. If something was and/or is going on you need to atleast say something to me so im not completely lost like I am now. And if those werent words of regret that night then you need to explain to me what they were.

So its Christmas eve and I havent even started wraping presents yet. I dont have much, i have jus been avoiding doing it. I just got to unwrap my Christmas eve present and it was a Charlie Brown tree :). Im sure a lot of people have seen the Charlie Brown trees at Walgreens, I like it :).

Well thats really all I have to say. Hope everyone has a good Christmas :)

So what happened?

Do you ever feel like something is going great, things seem to be looking up and theres a chance that something possitive is going to happen soon? THEN all of a sudden things do a compete turn around and it's completely different? Well thats happened to me this past week. I think someone needs to tell me what is going on. I was telling myself to be patient and just see how this plays out, but i cant take it anymore. I'm so confused and I dont think I can do this. As you can see I am a very impatient person.

The past week has been super crappy. I have started walking backwards with the process of getting over this break up. I never want to get out of bed, all I want to do is sleep anymore (but it doesnt help that I have nothing to do during the week). Also, it hasnt helped that my parents haven't been the way they use to be and I'm not use to that at all. That has gotten me down too and the only person I want to talk about my parents is Kenny.

So the only positive news I have to report about is that my cousin was indused this morning to have her baby. As of an hour ago she was only dialated to a 4 and she went in at like 5 this morning. I guess she is going to be in labor for awhile. So I will hopefully get to meet my 2nd cousin tomorrow. I'm not sure what they are naming him yet, but I will probably post a picture on here later.

In a baking mood.

I have been wanting to bake for a week now. I always hear people say how much a pain baking is, but i love to make cookies and cakes and all kinds of things. I'll admit I only have a couple of recipes that I have made, but im determined to have more. I've been looking at recipes today, I have a recipe box that I have yet to fill so I'm trying to fill it (but now just with baking recipes).



Here are some of the cookies I make (I didnt take these pictures by the way):

Peppermint Snowballs

I make these at Christmas time, however I'm not sure if I'll be making them this year.


Lemon Coolers

I was so happy when i found this recipe! Nabisco had a branch called Sunshine and they made cookies called lemon coolers when i was a kid and I absolutley loved them. They stoped making them and I have tried to find them but no luck. This recipe is actually called Lemon Snowballs, but I like Lemon Coolers better.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies.

I make these around Halloween and Thanksgiving. My Grandma cant wait for this cookies every year. I gave her the recipe but she says they never turn out the way mine turn out. I love to hear that :)

Cake Balls

Now, I have not made these yet but I am dieing to make them. When i worked at the candy stand just a month ago we sold these and they were sooooooooo good! I cant wait to make them, but i feel like I need an occasion to make them for because it makes so many.

If anyone out there would like the recipes all you have to do is go go allrecipes.com (no, none of my recipes are original) and search for these cookies (remember to search for Lemon Snowballs if you want the lemon coolers recipe). Or I can share them! I love baking, i might just make some tonight :)

Well it snowed

So it snowed here in Union Saturday night, but it was the big snow that im dreading. It covered the grass and streets and the roads were pretty slick. The big snow I'm talking about is where the snow is coming down really hard and its so beautiful and the your prediction is 3-5 inches. This big snow has signifigance thats why I'm not looking forward to it.

You dont know how bad I want to spout off about some things that have been happening, but I'm to scared to post it on here. Remember that confusing I was talking about a couple of posts ago? Well its still there and its gotten worse. I keep telling myself: Good thing, good things come to those who wait. Just be patient, but good god this is going a bit to far.

Chelsey i need that sleep over, i need to get a lot of this stuff off my chest. I'm going crazy.

The Temperature is droping.

So it is getting colder and colder by the hour here in Missouri. I have a Weather Channel desktop thingy on my desktop that i can click on to tell me the weather and theres an icon on the bottom right corner of my computer that tells me the temperature, and everytime i look it has droped. We are suppose to get 1-2 inches of snow, but it hasnt started yet.

So I am becoming more and more obsessed with makeup. I have been wanting to find a good pallete with a bunch of different colors in it so i can take that when i travel instead of putting a bunch of different eye shadows in my makeup bag. I have also wanted to buy some stuff from Sephora for the longest time, but its just so expensive. I may pay the money though to get a good eyeshadow pallete.

These are the ones I have picked out: The Beauty Encyclopedia: Basic Eye Edition $5 at eyeslipsface.com


Smashbox Eye Wish Palette $45 at Sephora

Urban Decay Urban Ammo Eye Palette $36 at Sephora

Now of course I'm sure a lot of people would say to go for the cheapest one, which isnt a bad idea cause i love E.L.F. cosmetics, but i've always wanted to get some makeup from Sephora. So I may spend some Christmas money on that :).

I can not wait to move back to Springfield (i swear i never thought i would hear myself say that). I am ready to go back to school and work, I am so bored here in the house all the time. All of my friends I hang out with here work during the day and one has classes at night during the week, so I dont really get to do anything. So I'm ready to be busy again.

Things are going ok with me, gotten a bit better so thats always good =)

Hope your enjoying the Christmas background!

I have a home

Well i got accepted for an apartment, thank goodness! I'll be moving back to Springfield January 3, but then I'll just be turning around and coming home that weekend for my friends birthday. Oh well!

I have been so down lately. Theres all kinds of problems going on around me and I cant stand it anymore. I dont seem to have anyone to talk to about it either. I text my 2 friends who I normally talk to and they send me 1 text in reply and thats it. I dont have anyone to hang out with during the week either which doesnt help.

It's still 2 weeks until Christmas, but as the days go by and it gets closer I realize more and more that I'm going to be alone this Christmas. Yeah, I'll have family but it's not same. Having a special someone to spend the holidays has been amazing the past 2 years, and now I dont have that anymore. Plus I had grown very close to his family, and I wont get to see them anymore. Thanksgiving was hard, but I think Christmas will be much harder.

Confusion

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my had its not even funny. I'm a believer of the saying "Good things come to those who wait" but I am not the most patient person in the world. I want to know whats going on, but I do hope It's positive, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up but i think they are starting to slip up there.

I feel like the first big snow is just around the corner....and I'm dreading it. I wish it wouldn't snow this year, that would be great. Seeing as I live in Missouri though, I'm sure it will snow big a couple of times this year.

I am starting to get a little more excited about Christmas, sort of. Mitchell has a Christmas program this Thursday and I'm happy I get to see that, if i was still going to school I would be missing it. One of the songs they are singing is Feliz Navidad and he gets to play the maracas :). One thing I do always look forward to every year is watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, I never miss it.

So those cups I talked about in the last post, i ended up returning them and getting a different set. I didnt like the others ones very much.

The end.

Money troubles.

So im starting to completly freak out about money. I have spent all of the money in both of my checking accounts and I am coming really close to maxing out my credit card. I applied for unemployment and got denied, which i was really counting on that. I still want to buy my mom one more Christmas present, I need someway to pay my credit card bill, and I keep thinking of more things I need for my apartment. ugh. I'm sure my dad will give me money, but my parents are having some pretty bad money troubles of their own.

I got a little lucky and go was able to buy a couple of things for my apartment already (i know i'm kind of jumping the gun seeing as i havent even gotten the apartment yet). My dad got $45 in Kohls cash last week. If you dont know what that is, every so often Kohls has a week where if you spend $50 you get $10 in Kohls cash, and my dad earned $45. I use this to get somet things.

I got lucky and found these glasses on clearance for $15 (originally $40). They were marked down cause the set was missing 2 of the small glasses, which didnt bother me any, i'm still getting 6.

I also got a cute set of salt and pepper shakers for $3, originally $15 (i think). I couldnt find a picture of them but they kinda look like fish, even though i have a feeling they were going for that. And i got a paper towel holder, nothing special but i need it.

I've asked my family for a couple of the things I need. I asked my grandma if she still needed an idea for me to get me a microwave and I asked my parents to get me a pot and pan set. This is the set I want, It literally comes with everything and its only $40.

Well I'm really hoping I come into some money soon, I just dont know how.

My decision has made me feel goood.

Since I've made up my mind about moving back to Springfield I have actually felt a lot better. I am excited to go back and start school again, I've only had a couple of weeks off and I'm going crazy with nothing to do.

I went to Springfield yesterday and had such amazing luck. I went to get my last check at Lady Foot Locker and I ended up getting my job back. I was so happy, i didnt even have to ask, my boss asked me if i wanted it back. The candy stand has now turned into a jewelry stand, but my boss also offered my job back there as well. I couldnt believe it, i was really suprised.

On that note I decided to find an apartment instead of signing up for a dorm. So i got to stay at the hotel that Chelsey works at, it was kinda weird though. I woke up a couple of times expecting to be in my room, but then realized I'm a hotel room. I did decide on an apartment, the building has been remodeled and looks good on the outside, but hallways look crappy but i'm not worried about the halls. The apartment is actually very cute, they have remodeled it (the kitchen doesnt look extremely new but its not bad) and the living room is HUGE! I'm excited to get but now im worrying how I am going to afford some stuff i need. I need cups and pots and pans for the kitchen, a couch and TV stand for the living room and possibly a bed. I could probably take the bed I'm sleeping on now but It's usually the guest bed.

I have signed up for my classes, my schedule kinda sucks though. I'm not positive on my science class just yet.

This week has already been busy, and it's only Tuesday.

Change of plans.

Ok, i've changed my mind. I'm moving back to Springfield.

Heres how i feel:
It just feel like it will be way easier on me if I go back. I'm already a student there, and transfering is a pain in my ass. If I go back I'm pretty positive I will graduate next December, if i transfer to UMSL I wont graduate until Spring 2012, maybe even summer. I want to be done.

I dont care what anyone thinks, I am doing this for myself. NOT for anyone else.

Chelsey, dont be mad at me. I just think it will be way easier for me to just go back and finish what i started. I dont want to take a break from school, I want to keep going. I feel like I made a mistake dropping everything so quickly and and moving home so fast anyway.

I should have finished the semester to begin with and taken time to think about it, i'm super dumb for not doing that.

But anyway, my mind is made up. Making a trip to Springfield tomorrow to see if i hopefully still have time to sign up for a dorm room, and im praying there is a 1 person dorm left. I'd love to have a room all to myself.

I'm done.

Getting started on school

Well I'm starting to apply for school. I started an application but I'm getting confused with it a bit. I have a tour set up on December 10, I'm sure it will be cold but i need to get this school thing going, thats why I've started applying.

I'm craving Mexican food. I have yet to have some good Mexican food since I've gotten home. I tried this new place in Washington and I wasnt to impressed with it. I want my fajita nachos so bad.

Last night.....all i can say is blah. I had a wonderful chat with a wonderful person. It was a bit sad and I cried a couple of times during it but it made me feel ok. To know that someone does miss me and wants to see me just as bad as i want to see them. But sadly, that wont happen until Christmas.

Thats all for now.

See the new picture ---->

I think my hair turned out good :). I like the bangs, but i was a little disapointed in the highlights, they are really suddle and i guess i wanted them to stand out a little more. But it's not bad.

I am not having any luck with finding a job. But, my mom talked to someone lady at family services and she is sending my mom and I something to fill out and it will apparently help us find a job. I did skip this old grocery store in downtown Washingotn, i might end up applying there. It's something. Cause I'm starting to run out of money and i still have Christmas presents to buy.

So Wednesday night was a ton of fun. Some of my friends and I went out, it was raining really bad, but it was still fun. I had a really confusing night though. All kinds of crap going through my head. I'm still a little confused but I dont want to get into details, maybe later.

My Thanksgiving was just eh. Went to my grandmas and i think this was the smallest family get together at my grandmas i've seen in a long time. I could barely eat anything, being as this was the first holiday without Kenny and I've had in awhile. And i didnt stay long, which I kinda felt bad leaving early, but yesterday just wasnt the best.

Well thats all i have for now.

A new me

A brief update, there will be a new me come tomorrow....say around 5ish?

I am getting my hair cut and highlighted tomorrow. No worries on the cutting though, im definently keeping it long, just getting a trim and.....BANGS! And like full on bangs too. I want Kate Hudsons bangs in Bride Wars:

I think there freaking cute and I'm getting them.

As for the highlights, i dont have any idea what I want to do. A friend of mine suggested caramel highlights and nothing bright. But i dont know, i kind of want to to do something different and crazy (but not extremely crazy). I've always wanted blonde and red highlights (i have brown hair). I need to figure this out by 3 tomorrow. blah.

Job hunting = no luck

So I went looking for jobs today, and had absolutley no luck. No one is hiring. Well thats not true, Target and Kohls is hiring for seasonal help. The only thing that sucks is I really dont want just a seasonal job, i'd like a job after Christmas is over. I did apply at target for the seasonal help cause i need the money for Christmas. I'm really trying to avoid Kohls, i know ive worked there before but i didnt really enjoy it that much. I was a super easy job but was really boring.

I havent been doing anything lately. This week should be a little fun. Wednesday I'm going out with some friends, its the biggest party night of the year. Then Friday I'm going with my friend Meek to try a new Thai/Japanese resturaunt. But, i'm not looking forward to Thanksgiving. I'm not looking forward to the holidays in general.

I'm starting to get really bored. I hope i find a job soon.

Dr. Pepper you will be the death of me.

I think I've had 5 Dr. Peppers today....not good.

This is the worst Friday ever. I'm super bored....It's only 9 o'clock :(. I'm watching the movie Valentine's Day, which i have seen like 4 times in the past week and still have not seen the begining. I'm so bored, i was watching Degrassi earlier....SERIOUSLY?! I have watched that crap since high school. I liked it back then but for real, it has gotten worse....it's definently high school crap.

Actually i've been bored for almost 2 weeks now...thats why i have been writing so much. Thats why it's time to find a job. I was suppose to go today with my mom (she needs a job too) but she didnt get home until like 3 so i will go Monday.

I really want to go to St. Louis tomorrow and walk around a mall or something but i dont have any money and i want to shop. I do have some money but i need to save it just in case i dont get a job as soon as possible, then i wouldnt have any money for Christmas. I hope something atleast happens tomorrow night, i cant stand staying in the house.

Oh boy.

I guess it's time to start job hunting. I'm having a hard time getting out of bed everyday, the last 2 days i havent gotten out of bed until almost 1 in the afternoon. I've been feeling like a lazy person and it makes me unhappy when I get out of bed that late, but yet again I dont do anything. So it's time to keep me busy. The only thing is I dont know if I want to get a full time, or a part time job since I'm not going to school. I think I'll just go for a part-time job.

I'm pretty possitive that I'm going to find an apartment close to campus when I start school again next fall. I really can't stand living in my parents house. As sad as that may sounds it's true. I want to have my own place again (not necessarily on my own, if someone wanted to get a place together i'd be totally up for that). Plus I'd rather be close to campus than drive an hour to school, even though it would only be 2 times a week. I just want to live in St. Louis.

I'm still not the best, thats why I've had a hard time getting out of bed lately. Chelsey, I know you said i need to start focusing on me and I'm starting to but its's still really hard.

Guess who drove 2 1/2 hours yesterday to Springfield?

This girl did.

So heres what I had planned:
I was going to go to Springfield this weekend and lay everything out there, do the whole romantic movie thing and do everything i could to get him back. But then he called me Monday night and I've became really worried about him. So I woke up Tuesday, got dressed, packed a bag just in case, got in my car and drove. I went down there because i was worried about him and wanted to see him, and I thought he might like a visit. I went back in forth in my head on weither i should try and get him back, and I was going to do it....but i didnt.

I brought it up while we were talking just to see what he would say, and he said it would have made everything akward and he eventually said it wouldnt be the right time. So I had apparently missed it. To me honest, i thought just me showing up spur of the moment would have been really romantic, but i guess it wasnt. Sure I had played out in my head that maybe he would come running to me and kiss me or something, but I knew that wouldnt happen. He ended up leaving around 8:30 to go to this study group with the club he is in....and i drove 2 1/2 hours back home.

Luckily, he was really suprised and liked the visit. When i left I felt a super embarrased and dumb, but he said I shouldnt be and that it was really nice to see me. I was also embarrased thinking he might ask me to stay the night... but I didnt tell him that.

I just cant believe that that was it, nothing happened. But I did want to make sure he was ok, I care about him to much not to.

Really...nothing yet?

I cant believe I havent heard from you yet....I seriously thought I would have heard from you by now....but no nothing. No call, no text, not even a message on facebook or messenger.

I'm dieing to talk to you, i figured you would be too. Who knows maybe you are, i just thought you would actually talk to someone if your dieing to do it and if you miss them and love them.

I'm sure some people are thinking why dont you just talk to him? Well I feel like its's his turn to talk to me. But it seriously driving me crazy that he hasnt said anything to me.

I cant help but think thats he is ok. That him telling me that he was going to miss me, crying and saying he's never going to see me again was all an act, that he was actually happy for me to be gone. I'm sure he's not ok, but i still have these thoughts in my head. I'm also driving myself crazy wondering what he is doing, who's he with, whats he thinking?

I know with time it will pass....but i seriously have lost the love of my life and my best friend. I want him back more than anyone knows. I really dont think i'm going to find anyone as good as him, i feel like if we never get back together that i'll have to settle on someone who's 2nd best.

I'm sorry for all this sappy sad stuff, but i'm afraid this is all everyone going to get for awhile.

Fucking nightmare.

So i think i might have made a mistake in moving back home. Now i really feel like I should have stayed in Springfield and gotten an apartment and just thoughed out the rest of the year.

Dont you think that if your daughter was moving back home that you would get the spare room cleared out and ready for her before she got home? But no, I had to make them do it finally.

And another thing is I dont feel at home. I have felt so uncomfortable and not welcome. My parents haven't been get along very well (I'll just leave it at that), so it hasnt been the best week so far. I dont know how much longer I can take it

Chelsey if you were serious about getting an apartment sometime in the future, i might just take you up on that offer.

I'm super worried about Kenny. Unlike some break up's i dont hate my ex (since we didnt break up on bad terms). I checked on him yesterday to see how he was doing, he said he wasnt doing very good so I'm sure he's still not doing the best. I want to be there for him so bad, i wish he would call or text me. But I feel like I've talked to him to much so I should let him talk to me this time.

UGH!

Hello Union.

Well....here I am, back in Union. I wish i could say home sweet home, but not so much.

I feel really uncomfortable in my own house. I cant stand it. I guess I had made home in Springfield, but now thats gone.

I had to say goodbye lastnight, and that was the worst and hard thing I have ever done. Walking away hurt more than anything.

I dont have a room here yet. I thought my parents would have gotten it ready before I came home, but nope. I'm in the spare room where theres so many things in the room you can hardly walk.

I miss even more now that I am 2 1/2 hours away. I'm miserable, and I think I will be for awhile.

The worst feeling in the world...

is a broken heart.

So I may not be writting for awhile. My boyfriend of 3 years and I broke up Thursday officially.

I have decided to move back to my home town. I dont have any friends here in Springfield, the only one I have will be moving back to our hometown in December. If I had friends here I would stay and get my own apartment....and hopefully rekindle things with Kenny. I want to stay here more than anything to see if we could still patch things up, honestly i think we would if I stayed. But unfortunatly, i cant do this alone. I would be miserable by myself because i know Kenny and I wouldnt be seeing much of each other for awhile.

I'm not quitting school, but i do think I'm going to take a semester off and start back up next fall at UMSL in St. Louis.

So I made up my mind about moving back pretty quickly but i feel like it's the best thing. And I've talked to quite a bit of people who think this would be the right thing for me to do too.

I'm not giving up on Kenny and I....theres no way i can. Deep down I know that he is the one, I just hope someday he realizes the same thing....but i can only hope.

Halloween is over

Well of course, Halloween is over so it's time to change my layout, which i have. So I put up a Thanksgiving one or course!

This is me in my costume, It doesnt show everything but its the only picture i have:

Halloween was kind of a dissapointment. The pub crawl wasnt as fun as it was last year and we couldnt find anything to do after. Sunday was fun though, we did a scavanger hunt with some of our friends, but i ended up screwing up the end of the night.

So it's almost time to register for spring classes, i'm actually really suprised at how fast the semester has been going by. I've already got my classes picked out, so here they are: Political Sociology, Social Movements, Statistics, Survey of Astronomy (i think). From my calculations I only have to take 12 credit hours my last 2 semesters.

This last month has been a rough one. I'm not going into to details but I'll just say it hasnt been the best.

Hollister started playing Christmas music last week. It pissed me off because I hate how early they are playing the music now. It makes me upset because I do like Christmas music, but i like to hear it at Christmas time, not around Halloween and Thanksgiving. By the time Christmas comes now, I'm sick of hearing it.

As of right now the only reason I'm excited for Christmas is because it's the next time i should be able to go home. I'm not going home for Thanksgiving cause I'm going to work and hopefully get off for Christmas. I would rather go home for Christmas than Thanksgiving.

Bleh.

Nevermind.

Ok, so I ended up buying a costume yesterday. My attempt at finding an old prom dress to make into a witches dress failed, i didnt find anything. So I went to Wal Mart and found this Greek goddess costume and I didnt think it looked to bad. I bought a costume at Wal Mart causet it's only $20. I'll buy a cheaply made costume for $20, but not for $50.

This is what it looks like:

The head piece kinda sucks so i might find another one. Also i have to find shoes to go with it...which might be tricky cause i really dont want to wear heels.

Oh, and i decided against being a referee cause i didnt want to end up ruining my uniform for work....plus i really didnt want to be a referee for Halloween.

Thats it!

New job = back up Halloween costume

So yes, i have another job. But have no fear, i still work at the candy stand. I now have a second job at Lady Foot Locker. If some of you havent been to Lady Foot Locker, they wear the referee outfit as their uniform. Soooooo if I cant find a dress to work with for a witch costume (which is what I want to be) I'm going to wear my uniform and be a referee. I would be so comfy, wearing black pants and tennis shoes. All i would have to buy is a whistle.

I only work at Lady Foot Locker one day a week so far. But I have a feeling I'll be there longer than i thought. I thought i was just going to be there for the holiday season but i dont think thats the case. I heard that the candy stand probably wont be open past Christmas. So I think my boss at the candy stand got me the job at Lady Foot Locker because of that. This sounds confusing. Sorry.

I cant wait for next weekend, i get to go home. I dont have much going on excpet for Sunday. I would like to go to the Winieries in Augusta. I love going over there in the fall, its so pretty. My parents and I normally go over every October and first we stop an apple orchard and get apples, they have a bunch of stuff to do for kids. Then we go to Augusta and my parents get wine (I finally got to get wine last year) and we got homemade bread from the Bread Shed....but now the Bread Shed is closed :(. Sunday we have the Pumpkin Party with Kennys family and then I have my cousins baby shower (I'm super excited for that).

Well I dont have much else to talk about. Hope you enjoy my Halloween background :)

Finding jeans = fail for Taletha

So I've been to like 10,000 places this week to find jeans, and I have only found 1 pair i like, which brings me up to having 3 pairs of jeans. I need a couple more if i want to make it through winter.

I've worked everyday this week, and I finally have tomorrow off, which will be spent with Kenny. I had to work Thursday which was our anniversary so we are going out to dinner tomorrow night. I'm so excited for relaxing tomorrow during the day too.

So I have no clue if anyone else has even heard of this movie, but I definently have. This was a childhood favorite of mine and I always watched it with my dad. The animation is super out of this world, but its so cool. It's a story about a boy named Oblio who finds himself in a world where everything is pointed (even the peoples heads), so he wears a pointed hat to fit in....thats all i remember of the story, i know theres more to it.
My dads birthday is November 13th, and I totally just ordered this for his birthday. I was thinking about it a couple of weeks ago and i thought this would be a great suprise to give to my dad. We use to have it on VHS and i think we lost it. I cannot wait to give it to him!

School is kicking my ass. I failed my chemistry test this week (oops). But I can bring it back up as long as I get 10's on the rest of my quizzes, and the good thing is we can take them as many times as want.

So I dont really have much more to say, I've been to busy for anything exciting to happen this week.

Time for another wedding.

So I am goint to be in my second wedding on May 21, 2011. My best friend since kindergarten, who's name is Symone, is getting married. I am very happy for her and very excited. Everyone is getting married....geez.



So this is the best picture of the dress we are getting that i can could find, i tried reallly hard to find picture of it by itself. Our dress is the one on the far left. I love it, i got to see it in person and its beautiful. Our dresses are going to be ivory underneath the lace part, and the bottom and the bow is going to be a chocolate brown. The lace has to say black, and I know what your thinking....brown and black together? But it actually looks good together.

I have finally finished book 3 and I am now starting book 4 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I made it half way through the 2nd chapter in the 3rd book and got super busy a couple of months ago. But since i got my new job where i can sit here and do whatever while we have down time, I've been able to read. Makes me happy.

I didnt want to come back to school this week. I pretty much had a 3 day weekend because my Philosophy class was canceled and I skipped my Race & Ethnicity class. We went home to Union Friday night when i got off work i like always, i didnt want to come back Sunday night.

I have a Chemistry test this Thursday bleh.

But on a happier note about Thursday, It's Kenny and I's anniversary. We will be together for 3 years =).....but I have to work....all week. My only day off is Sunday so we have to wait until then to celebrate.

Oh dear.

I want to shop. Bad.

So i have been wanting to go shopping really bad, but lately the money situation has been getting bad. I still dont have my student loan money yet and I'm just stating to get paid at work.

The worst part is that i NEED jeans really bad, theres no wanting (well maybe a little). I have 2 pair of jeans, and one pair the crotch is about to rip out. Another thing that sucks, is that the weather is going to change drastically over the weekend. It's going from being almost 90, to being in the 70's...thank you Missouri.

I want this make up brushes really bad. They arent the same ones i posted before, but these are sleeker and prettier :). They are the E.L.F. (eyes lips face) Studio Brushes, and i've read good reviews on them. The best thing is is that the brushes are only $3 a piece, and the whole set is $30, i dont think thats a bad deal. I'm obsessed.

I have no clue what to be for Halloween. Last year i was Flo the Progessive Insurance girl and i dont think i can top that. I think I'm just going to be a witch and go the Goodwill and get an old prom dress and cut it up, then all i have to get is a hat. Either that or im just getting a $20 costume from Wal Mart. I'll pay $20 for a cheaply made costume, but not $50.

My boss at work is awesome, she brings food for everyone like once a week :).

A friend of mine just bought me a chocolate covered strawberry from Godiva....soooooo good!!

Well I'm done rambling.

The Candy Biz.

So work is super slow tonight, and I'm going crazy being here. A plus side to this job, i get to do homework while I'm here and play on the internet (if you havent noticed).

Mediacom (my cable provider) has royaly pissed me off today. We got the bill today and it was $69, normally its $40. I had a late fee charge, which i should have because i mailed my check the day after recieving it. And there was also a $20 charge which is stupid and here is the story: When Kenny and I moved in i had to go to work and couldnt wait for the cable guy to come by, so of course Kenny would hang around and wait. I was suppose to leave a copy of my I.D. and a written permission for Kenny to deal with the cable guy (which i was not told). So i gave the guy permission over the phone. There was a $20 charge for installation which Kenny paid for, however the cable company didnt run that payment because the name of the credit card (Kenny) didnt match the name on the account (which would be me). They failed to tell me this, and this was back in July. I called customer service today and all i got was foreign people. I just decided to go to the office here in Springfield and yell at someone.

Ok so i probably won't yell, but this shit needs to get straightened out. We also canceled our HBO today because we want to save money, and they better have gotten that straight cause I couldnt understand a word the guy was saying.

I'm bored.
bored. bored bored

I
I did
I did this
I did this to
I did this to take
I did this to take up
I did this to take up space.

Thats like middle school stuff.

Dear Urban Sociology,

I hate you with a passion. So today i ended up dropping my Urban Sociology class. This teacher pissed me off beyond belief. He didn't write any notes on the bored, no power points, would tell us what was on the quiz and told us he wouldnt give us study guides. I had quiz today and knew i totally bombed it. I thought i would go ahead and drop it cause i had a feeling i was going to fail anyway (plus i get out of a presentation). But seriously, thats not why i dropped.

Another thing about school that totally sucks is that I'm not going to be able to graduate in the summer like i planned. I'll be graduating in the fall instead. I have a required class i have to take before my Senior Seminar class, and i thought i could take them in the same semester, and of course i was wrong. So I have to wait to take my Senior Seminar class until the fall cause they don't offer it in the summer, and plus i dropped a class today.

Kittens!!! :


So I have really, really, really been wanting a cat lately. Having a dog is hard, and i think our dog is dumb. She just wont learn to go outside and go to the bathroom and she hasnt figured out that when we leave, we are going to come back. But i seriously want a cat and I mainly want one because I am a cat person more than a dog person. But i do still love our puppy.


Autumn is just around the corner and i cant wait! I love this time of season. Perfect weather and its beautiful outside. This also means the Pumpkin party is around the corner. The pumpkin party is a family get together that Kenny's family has the Sunday before Halloween every year. It's really fun, his mom makes all kinds of pumpkin goodies to eat, pumpkin lattee's and everyone carve's pumpkins. Also every October my parents and I go to Augusta and get apples and wine from the wineries =).

One of my favorite pictures my Kurt Halsey

So another thing thats just around the corner is Kenny and I's anniversary. On September 30 we will be together for 3 years. I still cant believe its been that long. Since its on a Thursday I'm not sure what we are going to do, and I dont think we are getting each other because we dont really have the money. But just being with him is enough for me =)

Let see how this round goes.

So I will make a plan to stop drinking soda all together to help me loose weight and get healthy, but I usually make it maybe 2 days. I'm going to seriously try this time. I lost a ton of weight in high school and I only had 1 soda a day, but this time I'm not sure whats going on. I think its because in high school I drank cans, recently I've been drinking bottles and 32 oz drinks. This time I'm serious about it! But we will see how it goes.

A good note: I'm pretty sure I got my FAFSA all figured out, i still havent gotten an award letter yet but the worksheets that were pending and the rejected FAFSA is gone, so I'm pretty sure they are figuring out how much money I'm going to recieve (hopefully). I think they are re-calculating my grant too, cause that's gone also. Geez....now I'm getting a little nervous.

I havent heard from the new boss yet, but i went to the mall today and talked to a lady at Lady Foot Locker thats also working at the stand and she said not to worry. I was starting to worry but she said that they aren't the typical boss's. Just hoping I hear from her soon.

I'm very happy for this 3 day weekend, but if im not working im sure ill be doing homework.
bleh.

So far

Well so far this semester is looking to be a very busy and overwhelming semester. I have papers to write in almost all of my classes, a presentation in one, and group debates in another. Now i am not a public speaking person. I hate getting in front of people. If I'm with a group, im a little less nervous, but this presentation I have to give in my Urban Sociology class, not looking foward to one bit.

I want to have some fun so bad, but i have no money :(. Im dieing to go to Silver Dollar City since i have never been before and its the closest amusment park to us. I really want to go to Six Flags, but I'd have to drive 3 hours for that.

Speaking of having no money, i was planning on a trip to Lake of the Ozarks for Kenny and I's 3 year anniversary. I thought i trip would be nice so we can get away from Springfield and have a weekend of fun...but once again no money. The lack of money has made my credit card debt even worse and when i get paid all of money (except for money that goes to bills or rent) goes to the credit card. I cant afford to skip a week either.

I cant remember if I complained about this in my last post but here it goes anyway. The day before classes started i found out that my FAFSA (which is financial aid) was rejected. I go in to my FAFSA and find out that my mom had left some questions un-ansewred and it said i had dependents. I was extremely frusturated. So i fixed it and my mom signed it again, but it still says that there needs to be corrections. I went to the financial aid office today and they said that it takes about 5 business days for the new signature to go through. Well I'm still freaking out about it. I'm really scared that I'm not going to get money, and if i dont, ill have to drop my classes because i have no other way of paying for them (private loans are out of the question, already tried). That would be devestating since this is my last year :(.

I'm really looking forward to this:

The first day of classes

Oh my day was alright, i was just super tired all day. My classes i had today: Intro to Philosophy, Urban Sociology, & Race and Ethnicity. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like them, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is giving a presentation in Urban Sociology. I hate presentations.

Tomorrow the classes will be: Principles of Human Development, Chemistry for the Citizen lecture and then lab. My first class sounds like a joke class, i really hope it is, I'd like an easy A.

So it would be awesome if i could figire out how to get rid of the thing on my background that says the image is gone. I cant find it in my HTML thing. And i cant find another template i like :(.

So it would be awesome if could post videos.....for some reason when i paste the link, it only pasts a little of it.

Update from someone who hasnt wrote in awhile

So a lot has happened.

First off, we were told a week ago that the candy kiosk i work at is closing at the end of August. We were suppose to be in the mall until October and the mall ended up terminating our lease. Our boss fought to try and sign a year lease but the mall doesnt want us there anymore. This is a total stress factor, cause now i have 3 weeks to find a job and im not sure if its going to happen.

Secondly, our puppy seems to be going backwords with her house training. When we got her she was hourse broken and would go outside, but now she is starting to go in the apartment. I feel bad cause now were starting to crate her, when it should have started when she was a younger puppy. All i have to say is puppys are hard. I've always had cats as pets, and they are so so so much easier!

Lastnight we went to the midnight preview of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and it was awesome! I loved it. And the theatre was filled with nerds so it made even more fun.

Lola, L-o-la Lola

So Kenny and I did it, we got a puppy. She is a schnuazer mix. Were not 100% sure what she is mixed with. We were told minuature pintcher, but we think she has terrier in her. And of course, by my title we decided on the name Lola. She is so sweet and lovey! She even slept on Chelsey the first day she met her.

All I've been doing is working and school. I'm finally done with summer classes, now i get a 3 week break until fall classes.

Mystery package

So my mom texted me today asking for my new address and said she is sending me something. Then i talked to her on the phone and asked her what it was, she said it was a suprise and to open the package first before i open the letter. I hate waiting for things like that. The suspense kills me.

So our manager at work got canned (well our big boss said they both decided it would be best if she not come back, but i serioully thing she got fired). Then a coupld of days later one of the other girls quit. So im the only originally employee left. I got a raise though :), i was super happy about that. I'm thinking its going to get taken away though cause my big boss is coming next week to hire a new manager and i only got a raise cause im in charge of doing deposits (which is a manager job). I really hope i get to keep it.

I ordered these:

These are bush guards for your make up brushes. I'm super excited to get them. I've seen them in a video on youtube before and i wanted them. They are to put on your brushes after using them to protect them from dirt and bacteria, and also you put these on your brushes after you wash them and it helps them dry in their regular shape.

Speaking of make up brushes, i want some new ones. I've actually only had my make up brushes for about a year but i saw some really cool ones i want. Right now i have Eco Tool brushes:

I have all of them except the foundation brush and the kabuki (not in the picture). I like them, they are of course made with recycable materials and have sinthetic hair (animal friendly) which is really soft and they work great. It's just these look so freaking cool:

These brushes are from Sephora. I love how they are douple ended, it would so much less room in my make up case. But they are super expensive (like most things at sephora). For the powder/foundation brush its $35. So if i got all of them it would be $121 plus tax. Maybe someday i will get these beautiful brushes. Honestly though...i just want them cause they are colorful lol. I've only bought one thing from Sephora which was an $8 glass nail file. I would love to buy some of the make up from their, its just so expensive.

I think i just might start a beauty blog. I just need to some up with a good name for it.

A new home

Well, Kenny and I are all moved into our apartment.

Well....kind of. We still have quite a bit of unpacking to do. It's kind of weird. I'm so used to living at our old place. But i do like the new place. Even though its a bit of a down grade.

I dont really have much to say. I'll take some pictures of our new place when we have everything unpacked and cleaned.

I want this so bad.

The Xpress Redi Set Go cooker. I see the infomercial for this thing everyday and im still amazed by it. I hate the way they spelt Redi, i think it's stupid and not clever, but this thing still rocks. You can make meals, like a steak meal in this thing in like 7 minutes. For real....i've got to have this.

So my weekend was very interesting. After work on Saturday i went shopping, and while i was shopping I had a girl harrasing me and picking a fight because i caught her boyfriend stealing candy almost 2 months ago. She's cool huh? Holding a grudge for 2 months for STEALING. This girl is also the living, breathing definition of white trash. She has also been at the mall Sunday and Monday. And for the record, im not afraid of her, im taller and bigger around than her so im pretty sure if she actually started a fight, i could beat her ass.

4 more days and we will be in our new apartment. Im seriously getting really anxious. And i cant wait to host True Blood night in our new place!

One interesting night

So, here comes a story about my night lastnight.

There was a police stand off outside my apartment complex lastnight. Kenny and I had went to dinner and i stoped by Walgreens on my way home. He called me to tell me that there was something serious going down across the road. They began shutting down Battlefield, which is the road i live off of, when i got there. The police officer wouldnt let me drive 1o feet to my apartment, so i had to park a 1/2 mile away and sneak my way back home cause the police officer told me that he would rather not have me drive up there cause there was a man with a gun. I later found out that the police officer was letting people walk to the apartment complex....hmmm now dont you think it would be safer to be in a car than walking and being an open target?

So what happened was a guy shot his wife in the ear (which obviously he was aiming for the head) and locked himself up in an office building across the road. There was snipers, a S.W.A.T. team and everything. They tried to negotiation with him but he never answered. Around 11:30 i think they finally went in the building through the back and they found that the guy had shot and killed himself. We stood out and watched the intire time too.

All i can say is this is something for the record books in my life. I come from a small town and would have never thought i would see something like this in real life.

So in other news:
This week is my last week of Sociological Theory class. I'm doing so hot in the class, and our final is comprehensive, so im super nervous about that. I havent had any time to read, i am currently in the middle of chapter 2 of Club Dead. So im falling behind. Only a week and a half until we move into our apartment, getting anxious now!

Some pictures

So i wanted to upload a couple of pictures from a photography class i took about a year ago. The class i took was Large Format black and white photography. This isnt all of them, but they are the ones i like. And by the way, the little boy in these pictures is my little brother Mitchell. Also: there is a really bad looking glare thing on the pictures, this is because the only way i could uplaod them is if i took a picture of the pictures. These are pretty big prints.

Blah

I feel like giving up on bloging. I've got one follower. I feel like my blog is boring.

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!
