what a "got a lot done" weekend i've had. friday was washing the walls and today we went back and painted some of the walls. we didn't get it all the way painted but finished the two bedrooms, the living room and the two hallways. all we have left are all the closets, the bathroom and the kitchen. those shouldn't take too long but i don't want to have to go back up and finish. i have blisters starting on my hands from the stupid rollers and my feet hurt from standing for two days straight.
the highlight of the day? seeing erin chrystowski again. man, it's probably been *thinking* years since the last time we really talked...i mean in person. she, of course, looks great and seems to really be enjoying herself at Texas A&M.
sorry i missed the stars tonight, jordyn. chris and i looked at them a few times through the windows while we were on our way home, but...it's kind of hard to REALLY look at the stars when you're moving. hope y'all had fun, though!
i have lots to do tomorrow. i really need to write my chemistry lab report and do my precal homework...maybe i can hold off on my chem practice problems until monday, but...we'll see what happens, right?

"does your face hurt?" "no." "it's killing me! *haha*"
mr. rau used to say that to me all the time. man, i miss that guy! anyway, the reason i started my post with that really DID have a purpose (besides to bring up old friend's parents!) i have this facewash that i would recommend to ANYONE who asked (ask brian). it's really no secret. i use clean and clear. anyway, i use it everytime i take a shower. (i'm big on cleaning my face and brushing my teeth while i'm in there because then i get out TOTALLY clean!) so, i should know how to use it, right? well, tonight i just kinna forgot what i was doing and left it on my face too long. not too much time had to pass, though, before i remembered that it was there because my face started to burn. when i got out of the shower, after washing it off, my face from my eyes down was really red. i forgot that brian has my face lotion, so i had to go wake mom and dad up so i could use some of mom's stuff. she took one look at my sunburned-looking face and asked WHAT HAPPENED! so i told her about the facewash and she told me i shouldn't use it anymore (which won't happen because i LOVE it). anyway, i put that stuff on and...well...let me go see what i look like now. oh...the rash look is still there, but the burn is gone...which is all i really care about. so now i'm just hoping the red goes away tonight (which i'm pretty sure it will).
as for the rest of my day... chris, dad and i went to the apartments in college station today to wash the walls in "B" so that we can paint the walls tomorrow HOPING that someone will decide to rent that one out. we left here about 12 and didn't get home until about 10. that was a LONG day. washing the walls was hard. painting the walls is going to be even harder. (by harder, i really mean take longer...i think...i HOPE!)
i guess that's kind of it. looks like we ARE painting tomorrow, jordyn, so i don't think i'll make the stars. we'll have to do it again some other time...when it gets a little warmer. i'm a whimp. i don't really like the cold weather. sorry. but Y'ALL have fun!!!

well, my psychology class got canceled today because my prof's son is sick so i decided to go to the cypress creek library to do my precal homework. anyway, so i'm sitting at this table by myself but there's an older guy (like, 60s) on my right and another guy (about 45) on my left. the guy on my left kept looking at me. like, everytime i looked up--or that direction because someone was making noise and i'm easily distracted like that--he was looking at me and smiling. it was kind of creepy. anyway, after about 30 minutes, he came over and asked if he could borrow a sheet of paper. i (accidently) gave him two so he gave one back...which i thought was kind of weird, but whatever. anyway. that's the only story i have about him. the older man, though...he was kinna funny. ok, so i'm sitting there totally engrossed in a precal problem when i hear this REALLY gross sounding fart (you know, like the really bubbly ones!...i know, you care)...coming from him! he didn't even flinch. it was crazy. i don't know if he didn't know he was doing it or if he just didn't care that he was in public when it happened. anyway...those are my two stories from my library experience today.
rick drove with me to the library and andy drove me home from the library. such sweet boys! hehe. i miss talking to rick. too bad we're not closer...and stuff. anyway, yeah. and jace left me a nice message off of my shower away message! i LOVE getting messages while i'm away (ps). makes me feel like someone actually cares to say something to me. *sigh*
no one's been updating their blogs/xanga/livejournals recently so i'm starting to think maybe i should stop mine, too....except i'm too addicted to stop now. :)

dear loyal blog readers,
i'm bored. there's nothing on tv. i have nothing to do (besides study for a quiz that i don't want to study for...because i just remembered i have it tomorrow). i went to some tanning place today looking for a job, but don't think i'm going to get that job...mainly because the lady who took my application didn't seem very interested in me. *sigh* BUUUUUUT, wolfie's is hiring! i could always get a job there. (for those of you who don't know, wolfie's is like hooters...kind of.) i just want a job. but don't tell mom that. she thinks i have an attitude problem and i'm not working hard enough to get on as a volunteer. *sigh* whatever.
love,
blog writer

jordyn and i planned a picnic and star-gazing at meyer park for today since it's her 8 month anniversary with jared and my 6 month/6 year anniversary with chris. tonight was NOT the perfect night to do it, however. aside from being cold (and, yes, 40 degrees is cold), it was REALLY windy...which made eating difficult and stargazing not quite as pleasant. it was still nice, though. i mean, we were there with the one we wanted to be there with. what more could i have asked for, right? (besides a bubble bath and a good book! *wink wink* j/k)
before all of this, however, i went with chris, his mother, and his two youngest siblings (kenna and matt) to pick out a new dog. i'm not exactly sure why i went along, but chris asked me to go, so i went. we found one that they like. he's a black cocker spaniel puppy...about 2 yrs old (we're assuming...no one really knew) who was being called "major" but mrs. edman didn't really like that name, so the last names that i heard being contemplated were patch (because he has a little "patch" of white hair on chest) and shadow (because he's black). and he's SUPER cute. and SOOO loving. dutch, however, was NOT pleased that i came home smelling like another dog. actually, a whole LOT of other dogs. but he loves me nonetheless.
chris came over after that, i made us lunch (pizza and salad...and leftover donuts), he took a nap and i cleaned my room. i have homework to do for monday still, but don't really feel like doing it, so maybe tomorrow. doubtful, but still a possibility.
i guess that's probably all i have to say about today. i'm feeling a bit sleepy, so i'm going to go turn on a nice, hot bubble bath and read some more of the book karen gave me.
I LOVE YOU, KAREN!!!! hope you had fun out tonight...hope you were safe!

i wrote to phil today. i wonder how long it will take to get to him. i know that mail is REALLY slow on military bases...at least on marine bases it is...at least with richard it is. *sigh* i love writing notes! it wasn't long or anything. it, actually, didni't say anything at all. just a lot of "blah bluh blah blah blah".
my RA just sent me a message asking if i was married. i said no and asked why. BECAUSE MY FACEBOOK SAID I WAS! how crazy is that? goodness. i must have been editing something on there one day and clicked on relationship then tried to scroll down the page using the roller on the mouse and changed it to married. I'M NOT MARRIED FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ IT AND GOT CONFUSED! while chris and i have talked about marriage, we're not married...nor are we getting married anytime soon. just to clear things up.
i have this HORRIBLE taste in my mouth that won't go away. i'm not sure what it is or why it's there, but i don't really like it. i've tried eating different foods; i've tried plaxing, brushing, scoping; i've tried drinking lots of water...nothing seems to work. AHHHHHH! i really need to do my precal homework since i have my book now (no more excuses) but i really don't want to...so i really don't think i will...not tonight at least. i need to go back over to the chason's to do some more cutting. wonder if they'd mind...

well, i'm at the tomball library right now. oh, how i love being in the library! ;) anyway, i'm here with chris because he is working on a group project thing and i figured i could work on/finish my chemistry homework in the time it'd take him to finish his project. problem? i'm finished with my chemistry homework. but i guess that's ok because i really need to do my precal homework, too. problem? i didn't bring my precal spiral and i don't have my precal book yet. solultion: go buy the book at the bookstore (although i really don't have any idea where i am in relation to the bookstore right now) and just do my homework on notebook paper in my folder. i know...i'm a loser. what can i say?
chris and i went to meyer park today to run a little bit. THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS OF GEESE!! hehe...it really wasn't all that many, but it's more than we have at school. anyway, dutch and i ran after the geese when we first got there but he wasn't really into it because i don't think he was quite into that kind of mood yet. so we ran the path and it was LOTS of fun. haha...riiiiight. ok, so when we were getting closer to the pond, chris was holding the leash and said something about how dutch seemed ready to play with the geese now. so i told chris that we HAD to let him play...cuz i wanted to see him run after the geese like beagles are supposed to do. ok, a little background on my dog...HE HATES WATER!!! when chester comes with the demars, he always jumps in our spa and dutch looks at him like he's ABSOLUTELY crazy. anyway, dutch started going after the geese and they went into the water...AND HE FOLLOWED THEM IN!! oh my goodness. chris and i went CRAZY! like i said, he HATES the water...but he was in it. and once he got in it and realized it wasn't all that bad (probably because there were other animals in there--including geese, ducks and BEAVERS) he didn't want to get out. it was CRAZY! i want to take him back sometime to see if he'll do it again. but it won't be anytime soon because when we get home, i have to give him a bath. he's been needing one, and now that he's been in that GROSS pond, i think the time has arrived. hmmm...well, chris is finished with his project now, so i guess that's it. i'll write more later if anything else really interesting/fun happens. love you all.
PS--i miss all of you txstate folk. i'll see you in about 21-ish days. YAY FOR ROADTRIPS TO SAN MARCOS!!! i miss you, guys. keep me posted on san marcos life. :(

THIS A REALLY COOL STORY AND NOTICE AT THE END THE DATE THE CANDLE WAS STARTED. GONNA GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS.
I am not going to be the one who lets it die..
I found it believable --angels have walked beside me all my life- and they still do.
A young university student, was home for the summer. She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God" to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Moral of the story.. Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!
Gives ya goose bumps doesn't it?
This is to all of you who mean something to me, I pray for your happiness.

goodness it's been a weekend. went to visit karen at school. that was fun...and sad. i'm going to die here. i think my mom and i are going to kill each other. *sigh*
church with the chasons was fun. jared came with us this week. my knee still hurts so i didn't kneel on it...which made the other one hurt, so...yeah. anyway...that was good.
jordyn (kind of) told me that she wants me to be her confirmation sponsor...if she decides to be confirmed. that's CRAZY! oh my goodness...if i could only express how much of an honor it is that someone wants ME to be his/her sponsor. and for it to be jordyn?! that's great! i'm uber excited. i hope she decides to go through the process...even if she decides not to get confirmed. but i want to talk to mrs. rasch about it. she'd know better than anyone if i'm really ready for a responsibility like that. either way...thanks, jordyn, for thinking of me at a time like this. i honestly can't tell you how much it means to me. *tear* almost makes me want to cry. (seriously, though...i'm touched!) just...think about it. let me know. i'm here for you no matter what you decide.
onto bigger and better things. i think i'm going to put down the book mom gave me for a little bit. karen is letting me borrow a book titled he's just not into you. apparently it was the "book of choice" over the break because it seems like everyone read it...so now it's my turn! so i'm going to take a bubble bath with the book. (if i get it wet, i'll buy you another copy!)

goodness. it's been an AWEFULLY long week...and the weekend will be no break for me. i went with chris yesterday to nac to move him home and we didn't get home until 10:30...then unpacked the car where i fell and skinned/bruised my knee pretty well so now it hurts. today i got a phone call from austin, so i ate lunch at arbys with him. THAT was good. i also went to dad's office to pick moby up so i could drop him off at the doctor, which meant i had to leave connie for dad. so i brought moby in and then some guy had to bring me to mom's office so i could pick bertha up so i would have a car. mom has an appointment at 2, so i have to bring her to that and then to the bank. what a day. something else i was going to tell you...*sigh* OH YEAH! ok, so i'm trying to drop all of my classes at txstate so i can get the refund for them and yadayada... last night i went to catsweb to drop everything, but you're not allowed to drop ALL of your classes unless you've talked to the registrar first. sooooo, i called the registrar to find out what i had to do and there was a form i had to sign and so on so i brought it to mom's office so she could fax it for me...but i didn't understand how to fill out one of the sections. she didn't either, so she faxed it to dad (who was going into a meeting) and told him to look at it, leave me a note along with the keys to his car and i'd take moby in. did he leave the keys for me? NO! haha...it was great. i had to wait for him to get out of the meeting so he could (a) look at the sheet and tell me what to do with that information and (b) give me the keys to his car because he didn't do EITHER before going into the meeting. it was great. so NOW...yeah. well, i need to go through my clothes and find out what i need to clean so we can give them away and what i want to keep for myself...then i need to organize my closet...then i need to....oh goodness. ONE of these days i'll be finished...i hope. i ALSO need to go buy a new computer desk. *sigh* WHEN WILL I BE FINISHED?!

wow. i really wish i had something interesting to tell you about today...or my life in general. that, however, is not the case. i don't think i explained how my room looks now (for those of you who know what it looked like before).
ok, so my bed used to be against the hall wall and the closet wall with my desk at the foot of my bed. now the desk is where the head of the bed used to be and my high boy is where the foot of my bed/desk used to be. my bed head is where my high boy used to be and the dresser stayed in the same place. that's mainly because it's too high to fit between the windows and it's too big to fit on my closet wall. my file drawers are next to my high boy on the desk side (because that makes more sense to me) but the brown book shelf is still under the closet side window next to the bed. the chair, however, will be moving. i just don't have room for it anymore and i NEED to clean out the corner that it was hiding. my coaches chair is next to the file drawers next to my desk...but that may move to the infront of the other window.
for those of you who have never seen my room before, i'm sure that this doesn't make sense...and for those of you who HAVE seen my room, if you're not in there often (aka-if your name isn't chris or ann and you're not in the family) you probably still don't know what i'm talking about.
i'm really excited about being reconnected to the internet. i don't like AIM express very much. i mean...it's nice and all but it's NOT AIM. they're soo different. i like having a profile and being able to read other people's profiles...and people being able to read my blog.
my head hurts. austin and i are going to fun church tomorrow. i hope he tells jordyn about it because i want to see her again. we'll see, though. bedtime. GOTTA get some sleep...i think that's why my head hurts. i can't sleep through the night. (pathetic, i know. i'm 20 yrs old. you'd think i'd be able to sleep through the night by now!)

I'M RECONNECTED!!!!!!! I'M FINALLY RECONNECTED TO THE INTERNET ON MY COMPUTER!!! :-D

while i was going through some things that i found while rearranging my room, i found this email from LONG ago. just thought i'd bring it back to life...something to think about...
A Smart Quiz
(this is a closed book quiz...no cheating!)
1. name the 5 wealthiest people in the world.
2. name the last 5 heisman trophy winners.
3. name the last 5 winners of the miss america contest.
4. name 10 people who have won the nobel or pulitzer prize.
5. name the last half dozen academy award winners for best actor and acress.
6. name the last decade's worth of world series winners.
how did you do?
the point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. these are no second-rate achievers. they're the best in their fields. but the applause dies. awards tarnish. achievements are forgotten. accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
now here's another quiz. see how you do on this one:
1. list a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. name give people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. name a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
easier?
the lesson? the people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awareds. they're the ones who care.
tell me what YOU think...

chris and i rented the movie i robot last night but didn't get the chance to watch it because my family was watching a tv show so he came over today and we watched it. GOOD movie. but it reminded me of something that i saw on tv the other day that really bothered me...and i just didn't blog about it because i didn't blog that day (surprised?!)
anyway, so there was a show on tv with a black woman (don't jump down my throat...i'm not racist) criticizing black men for dating white women. irony: SHE'S MARRIED TO A WHITE MAN!!! anyway, my problem was with her saying "white women need to stop taking 'our' men." WHAT IN THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? just because he's black and you're black doesn't mean he's "your man." just because he's white and i'm white doesn't mean he's "my man." i don't understand that theory. i mean...SERIOUSLY!
think i'm going back to school. overheard mom telling dad that when she came home today the house was a wreck and everything out of place was MINE. and how could i do that. and i took out this pie and it's been out for hours but when i defrosted the freezer and forgot to put the chicken on ice...or back in the freezer i threw it away...even though it was still good chicken and we could have had it for dinner. and when she came home there were dishes everywhere and they were all mine and blah blah blah.
well...i guess that's it. i have to get up at 6:30 to wake david up so he can be at school by 7 to talk to doc about his ribs hurting...he thinks he may have fractured one or something. sooo...since you all know how i am, he's going to go talk to him tomorrow morning. the catch is, if david's not in doc's office by 7 (i think is what he said) then he doesn't get another chance to talk to him until monday (or something like that). well...that's it. finishing up AIM convos then BEDTIME!

so...i'm really not good at this blogging thing, i've decided. school things are really confusing right now. i feel really bad about not going back to fanatics. i REALLY do. but i think it would be best for me right now to stay home this semester to get the rest of my cores out of the way and get some volunteer hours and some contacts. karen understands that but julie and mike (so far) aren't too keen on the idea...and that makes all of this more difficult. julie is the newest member of the fanatics officers and mike's president...and since julie's my roommate that's why she got to know. i just thought mike should know since he's president and all and...yeah. i'm going to miss it all (if i stay...WHICH i still may not do) but maybe this will remind me what i love so much about school--not being nagged by my family...which oddly enough is what i miss most when i'm at school.
i don't do much tv watching at school but i sure do seem to do a WHOLE bunch of it here at home. it's insane. 7th heaven, smallville, step-by-step, family matters, etc. i like abc family. that's a fun channel.
well...time to go make dinner!

ok, so i'm reading this book that my mom gave me called "What I Wish I'd Known Before I Got Married" (something i thought i would hate) and it turns out it's actually a really interesting book. i mean, most of the things in it are common sense things, but some things are put in a way i never thought of before.
from this book, i have two passages that i want to share.
the first is a passage from the book nancy reagan wrote titled "I Love You, Ronnie". in this book, mrs. reagan included a letter that her husband wrote to her and one of the passages stood out to both the author of the book i'm reading (kay coles james) and to me. in the letter, he wrote, "If I ache, it's because we are apart and yet that can't be because you are inside and a part of me, so we really aren't apart at all. Yet, I ache but wouldn't be without the ache, because that would mean being without you and that I can't be because I love you."
how POWERFUL that is. and how BEAUTIFUL it is. wouldn't every woman love to have someone write something so amazing about her? i know i sure would!
then the second one...
how to be a good wife--the 1950 version
1. have dinner ready: plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal--on time. this is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about is needs. most men are hungry when they come home, and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
2. prepare yourself: take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair, and be fresh looking. he has just been with a lot of work-weary people. be a little gay and a little more interesting. his boring day may need a lift.
3. clear away the clutter: make one last trip through the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. then run a dust cloth over the tables. your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.
4. prepare the children: take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necesary change their clothes. they are little treasures, and he would like to see them playing the part.
5. minimize the noise: at the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, or vacuum. encourage the children to be quite. be happy to see him. greet his with a warm smile and be glad to see him.
6. some don'ts: don't greet him with problems or complaints. don't complain if he's late for dinner. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
7. make him comfortable: have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedrom. have a cool or warm drink ready for him. arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. speak in a low, soft, soothing, and pleasant voice. allow him to relax and unwind.
8. listen to him: you may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. let him talk first.
9. make the evening his: never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead, try to tunderstand his world of strain and pressure, and his need to be home and relax.
10. the goal: try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

how to be a good wife--the 21st century version
1. have dinner ready: make reservations ahead of time. if your day becomes too hectic, just leave him a voicemail message regarding where you'd like to eat and at what time. this lets him know that your day has been crazy and gives him an opportunity to change your mood.
2. prepare yourself: a quick stop at the loncome counter on your way home will do wonders for your outlook and will keep you from becoming irritated everytime he opens his mouth. (don't forget his credit card!)
3. clear away the clutter: call the housekeeper and tell her that any miscellaneous items left on the floor by the children can be placed in the Goodwill box in the garage.
4. prepare the children: send the children to their rooms to watch tv or play video games.
5. minimize the noise: if you happen to be home when he arrives, be in the bathroom with the door locked.
6. some don'ts: don't greet him with problems and complaints. let him speak first, and then your complaints will get more attention and remain fresh in his mind throughout dinner. don't complain if he's later for dinner, simply remind him that the leftovers are in the fridge and you left the dishes for him to do.
7. make him comfortable: tell him where he can find a blanket if he's cold. this will really show you care.
8. listen to him--but don't ever let him get the last word.
9. make the evening his: never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or other places of entertainment; go with a friend or go shopping (use his credit card). familiarize him with the phrase "girls' night out!"
10. the goal: try to keep things amicable without reminding him that he only thinks the world revolves around him. obviously he's wrong; it revolves around you!
well...that's it, kids! i'm tired now and it's been about an hour since i started this. time to head to bed...after i finish talking to my RA about not being back next semester...

GOOD SONG!!!
LONESTAR
Let's Be Us Again
Tell me what I have to do tonight
Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again
I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I dont why I said the things I said
Lets be us again
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
Us again
Look at me Im way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us
Ohhh
Baby baby, what would I do
Can't imagine life without you
Here I stand with everything to lose
All I know is I dont wanna ever see the end
Baby please I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Oh here I am I'm reachin out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
Oh, lets be us again

oh goodness. it's been a REALLY long time since i blogged. i think that's a new record since, like...a LONG time ago. hehe anyway, sorry it's been so long. it's hard to get my turn on the computer since david is on all day and all night. makes it a little more difficult for me to get on long enough to blog.
christmas was nice. chris went with my family to baton rouge and they all, of course, love him. which is a REALLY good thing since i love him too. *tehe* we went to oak alley on dec. 27 but since my computer isn't connected to the internet at home (i'm on the family computer) i'll have to add those when i get back to school...which reminds me of something else that i'll discuss later.
so i can't really think of anything too important to talk about recently. our internet has been VERY anal so when i finally DO get a chance to get online it doesn't want to work for me so...yeah. my facebooking has also slowed down. good thing i wasn't also totally addicted to that! haha...some of you crazy cats are!
i spent all day yesterday on the couch watching bowl games...many of which i was dissappointed with. a&m sucked pretty big toes. that was NOT an impressive game. the lsu game was a disappointment in the last seconds...literally. what an amazing last play, though. however, the ut game had a nice ending...one that was a little too close for comfort! but they won so i'm happy!
ok, so here's the deal. i've been thinking about staying home this semester. i would go to tomball community college for the spring and summer semesters then transfer back to texas state (hopefully) for the fall '05 semester. why, you ask?! i'm paying nearly $6700 to go to texas state this semester (that's tuition, room and board, and books) to take all core curriculum classes when i could stay home and pay $500 instead...and have homecooked meals. there are pros and cons to both sides, however. for one, i think i might kill my mom and little brother if i had to stay home. *sigh* i miss them when i'm at school, but i really can only handle so much time with them when i'm home. so, we'll see. chris might stay here this semester as well, so that's a BIG pro to staying home...not that i'd stay just for him, though.
i've been HORRIBLE about walking/running/jogging while i've been home. i've been doing a lot of eating and sitting and no working off all these extra holiday pounds. goodness...things just don't seem to be too wonderful now, do they? chris and i DID go to the track to walk 2 miles tonight, though. *sigh* and he danced with me. (if you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!)
tomorrow i get to defrost the freezers and clean the fridge. we'll see how that turns out. chris is supposed to be here at 10:30 tomorrow to help me out. we'll see what happens...since he's ALWAYS late. but i have some errands to run in the morning before we do that, so i better hit the sack. i'll try to write again soon when i have an update on more interesting things! miss writing. hope you all miss reading! leave me some love!! ;)
