OH THE DRAMA...

oh, i know it's been a while, but i don't think anyone reads this anymore anyway.
good news! my computer is working again. this time it was the ram...we think. rob thinks i should get MORE fast ram so my computer will be even faster than it is now...which would be super awesome for me! *tehe*
the meet this weekend was great...and not great at the same time. I SAW COACH GENNI FOR THE FIRST TIME IN QUITE A WHILE which was really nice. she said that she saw a lot of good things with the londonderry swimmers and that it was nice to see some of her techniques coming out in my coaching style. wow. it was really nice to see her again. my coach, my mentor. she taught me everything i know about swimming (including how to yell and scream at the kids). for those of you (VEEEERY few) who know who i'm talking about, she's still living in colorado but is no longer giving ski lessons. she has moved onto working at a dude ranch up there. not quite sure what she does there, but the thought of her on a ranch is a little funny. i still love her, though! ;)
the not so great thing? got BLAMED for losing a few races. i knew we were having problems with the new parents this year but i didn't know that the old parents were catching onto the new "hate the coaches" trend as well. sure makes me feel like crap, though, to be personally blamed for stuff like that. it's just...not right. oh well. wish i could brush those things off my shoulder and pretend they don't hurt me, but you all know how i am. can't let those personal attacks go. *sigh* oh well...
got a call from lauren o'neil today asking if i could guard for her at lifetime on saturday...then she asked if i was going to be at work today. too bad they didn't tell me i was on the schedule. their fault not mine! how am i supposed to know that i have to work if no one tells me and no one gives me a schedule. i don't feel bad at all...even though i probably should.
david has an interview at kroger on friday morning. i have to leave practice early to get him there, but it's not going to be a big deal. i already asked vanessa, so...yeah.
i got a new phone yesterday! it's super cool...compared to my last one. david got one too, but he doesn't know he has it and won't get it until he gets a job and his license. he told mom yesterday that he wanted one...maybe those will be incentive enough for him to be able to get it! until then, it's sitting in my room. (yes...that means i have two activated phones!)
i feel like i should be writing more, but i don't really have anything to say. oh...chris and i both got 99s on the history test we took friday. our last grade of the mini-mester is this friday...and neither of us will be going to class all week since swim practice is in the mornings now instead of the afternoons. we'll see what happens! (cross your fingers for us, will ya?)

on a brighter note, if we get out of here fast enough (don't test for too long) i get to go home and make lasagna for my family for dinner tonight. man, i sure hope it's a good meal. i'm gunna be uber sad if it sucks big toes. (sorry for those of you who hate that expression.)
well, back to studying the quizzes for me, i guess. WISH US (chris and myself) LUCK!!!!!

well...it was a good meet. CLOSE meet. good meet. we had some funny things happen, some not funny things happen and LOTS of close races! what a good meet! we swam against coach dirk's team...which is funny because kim, vanessa and i all know him for different reasons. he works with vanessa's dad, he swims with kim at bally, and he was my first year round swim coach! cool, huh?! funny things that happened today!? well...during the 7-8 girls medley relay, the last swimmer (freestyler) on the other team crossed the lanerope a little more than halfway down the pool and finished her swim in our lane. LUCKILY emily had already finished and gotten out. that was crazy, though! then in 6 and unders freestyle, eric (my little boy) jumped in, turned on his back, and swam a 25 free instead of a 25 back. i'm not sure if he ended up DQed or not, though, because he swam it legally...and techniqually, you can swim whatever competitive stroke you want to. anyway, we had lots of close races. almost TOO many close races. our 7-8 girls swept free, back and fly. CRAZY! they're good...too bad the rest of the team isn't quite like that. NOT that they're not good, but it seems like everyone moved up or decided not to come back so we don't have that many swimmers in some age groups and LOTS in others.

short post:
HAPPY 10 MONTHS, BABY!
first real meet tomorrow.
UTI's back :(
first round of meds wouldn't work because i couldn't be out in the sun...which doesn't work since i'm a swim coach requiring me to be in the sun.
mom ordered new meds.
don't work as well as last semesters, but i guess they'll do.
4.0 last semester...mini-mester started on monday.
first test was today. chris and i both got a 96.
haven't been sleeping well.
sorry i haven't been writing.
bob's dead again.
night!

another day, another post. i didn't sleep well AGAIN last night. i can't decide if it's too hot in my room or if i'm just not able to fall asleep for some reason. eventually i'll figure it out, i guess...i HOPE!
chemistry was...interesting today. i don't remember learning HALF of that stuff since the last test but...oh well. i have an entire page (front and back) full of stuff that needs to go on my 3x5 index card. i HOPE i can get it all to fit. AAAAND i just found out that my precal professor sent me an email on webct (i never check it) asking where i wanted my final to be. i hope it's there when i go looking for it tomorrow. otherwise that could be really bad. speaking of my precal final tomorrow, i have to make my flashcard for that too...and do the extra credit stuff. man...i sure let this stuff sneak up on me.
government final went alright. i forgot most of the info for the second essay but NAILED the first and the third! YAY! problem is, each essay was worth 34 points, so if i bombed the second one, then i'll only get a 66. that makes me uber sad :( i was doing SOOO well in that class. *sigh*
well...it's just about time for our swimming final and i need to tinkle, so off i go! good luck on finals, everyone who is still taking them (no one, i guess).

i don't get it. my computer was working FINE until i restarted it. i didn't think anything bad would happen...now it won't turn on. :( i don't know what i did wrong. better than that? rob's out of town. i can't ask him what to do until thursday...which means i'm computer-less until then. sadness. i don't have any finals today, but chris has two. i wish i had at least ONE today...now i have 2 tomorrow, 2 wednesday and 1 thursday...i hope. anyway...that's about all i have to say.
good stuff happened today. hopefully that means practice today will be easy. we'll see what happens! i need to go study, though, so i'm gunna go do that i think.

chris and i went to nac today to bring some stuff to one of his professors (and so he could visit some friends) and on the way back we saw two "only in texas" things. i wanted to share. the first one was going down 242 on our way back from nac. we're driving along when i noticed a little something...er...different, shall i say? "only in texas can you be driving down a street and notice that there's a horse in someone's front yard." then when we were turning off of 45 and onto louetta, we noticed something not so much "only in texas" but...bizzare either way! anyway, we're making that turn when i realized that the car had CLOWNS in it. not only clowns, like one or two. nope. more like four or five in a little car. it was CRAZY!!! chris laughed. i thought it was crazy.
we stopped on our way home and looked at puppy dogs. they were sooo cute. dutch wasn't too incredibly excited that i smelled like some other dog when i got home, but...he'll cool with it now! i still let him sleep in my bed and i didn't bring another one home, so...yeah.
yesterday before chris and i went to the mall, i was over at his house playing with his dog...when shadow got a tummy ache and throw-up on my jeans. thank GOODness i was wearing jeans or it would have been all over my legs and i probably would have thrown-up as well...and that would have been quite the mess.
chris's back/neck hurts. i tried to massage it but it didn't really work and i tried using icy-hot and a roller thingy but that didn't really work either.
the rockets suck big balls. i hate them. they didn't play like they wanted to win tonight at all. i hope they realize how pitiful they looked. (hehe...i say this like i can play better. but then again, i'm not paid jabizzillion dollars a game to play, so i'm allowed to suck. they're not!) what's almost better than how horribly they're playing tonight is the fact that every commercial break has contained a commercial for next year's season tickets. ha. after this game, you'd have to be STUPID to pay $400 for rockets season tickets for next year. *blah*
we had mother's day early because doug and jen were in town and i wanted them to see what they got mom. she didn't cry when she read my card...or the one i got for her from the boys. she LOVED the CDs we got her, though, and we used both of her new icecream scoops tonight. i told her she could choose which one she liked best and i'd return the other...and she decided that she wanted both of them so i'm not going to return either. sadness. :(
i talked to doug today about getting dad his father's day gift while he's in germany but i have a feeling i'm going to have to remind him of all of that before he leaves and, perhaps, while he's gone.
chris is asleep on my bed. guess he was tired!? and to think...I'M the one who didn't sleep last night.
i was using the icy-hot on his back and my contact started to fall out so i went to the bathroom to put it in the case...and forgot that i had the stuff on BOTH hands. i think i have icy-hot in my eye now. OUCHY!!
i had a tummy ache on the way home from nac. chris let me drive so i wouldn't up-chuck. he's smart! ;)
i think i'm finished! hope you all had a great day, wish your mom's happy mother's day, and good luck on finals/studying for finals!

(this is a downer-pity me post. don't let me waste your time if you're not in the mood.)
well, i was going to blog what was on my mind...until chris got online and i talked about it with him. problem? i don't feel better and i still can't sleep.
do you ever have one of those days where everything's going GREAT until all of a sudden you're uber depressed, don't know why, and can't "snap out of it"? well...that's me right now.
on a slightly brighter note (depending on your side of the conversation, i guess) i talked to rick tonight for the first time in what seems like forever. it was kind of awkward, though. i mean...yeah. with all the stuff from last semester and earlier this semester...i dont know. we talked about 45 minutes and as we hung up the phone my low battery alerted. perfect timing.
ever really need to cry but don't know why or what could just get it out? that's me right now.
ever feel like you're causing someone else serious pain and don't know how to stop yourself? that's me right now.
i just want to go into a corner and cry for about a week...but i don't think it's going to help.
i feel so worthless; so unneeded; so...i don't even know. would anyone care? does anyone care? ...then again, should anyone care? i suppose i wouldn't if i were them.
do you ever think about the people that you treat unfairly or who you wrong? what do you do years later when you look back and feel bad about what you did? what do you do when you look back days later and know that what you did, what you said was harsh and totally uncalled for?
i think i should be heavily medicated for this manic-depressive-ish problem that i really think i have.
i appologize to the very few of you who cared enough to read this and the even fewer (if any) of you who decide to comment. sometimes it's just nice to know there's someone else.
*sigh* i'm going to go contemplate this a little longer in bed. maybe things will make more sense from there than they do sitting here.
