Long time no blog!

Wow!!!! That's all I can really say right now!! I haven't posted since May and sooooooo much has gone on!!! Normally, what I would talk about in my blogs was: school, work, friends, family, and Riley. Well, we can talk about school for a minute. I had changed my major to Elementary Education back in the spring after working at daycare because I absolutely loved it! Still do, even though I don't work there anymore! I had to take a leave of absence so I could go to school since my semester would most certainly not have allowed me to be driving back and forth everyday. I was SO sad to leave my babies but they were moving up to blue room and becoming big kids and I'm okay with that! I have no idea how I'm going to be a parent because I can't even let go of the kids that aren't even mine! (Don't take that in a creepy way!!)

Anyways, I stopped working and am currently unemployed and the money train is quickly leaving the Andrea Station! :( Oh well...I'm going back to work during Christmas break and have already got that all lined up, which is exciting! I miss my kids and my friends at work!

Anyways, I moved into a new apartment and it's alright! I have to climb 31 stairs to get here but my leg muscles sure like it! I am learning how to cook for myself and live on my own again and it's fun, but sometimes I miss my bed and my Momma's food! (plus, her doing my laundry isn't too bad either) ((but I do know how to do it myself and I do do my own laundry for the most part!!)) I go home on the weekends since Trevor had football games, but now that those are over, I'm not sure what I'm going to do on Friday nights!! I guess I will find stuff, I guess! Maybe a date between boyfriend and I! Hopefully!

Speaking of boyfriend, he is good. Finished fire school and EMT school and still works for his dad at the photo lab. I really wish he would get the job that he actually wants and would make him happy, but what do I know?! I'm just the nagging girlfriend. Oh well....We had our 1 year anniversary on Sept. 11 (coincidence? maybe!) and we spent the day at Trevor's football game that morning and then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for the OU game and then he surprised me with Rangers tickets!! I was soooooo excited!! :) :) ((How 'bout them Rangers!!!! Going to the World Series was UHMAHZING!))




Anyways, Riley Roo is doing great!!! She is almost crawling and she can pull up on just about anything! Her personality is growing every day and I can't believe that she will be 7 months old on the 12th...I'm getting old!!! Oh well! She is absolutely perfect and couldn't get any smiley-er! That's not a word, but she is such a ham! You can put a camera in front of her face and say, "Riley, can we take your picture??" and she will smile even in her worst of moods! She cracks me up! Never cries, just laughs and babbles about!! :) This was her Halloween outfit! She was the cutest witch ever!! :)


So, that's about all that I have for now! :)

Over a month...

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog! There has been a lot that has gone on since little Riley was born. She is a month old today and I love this girl so much. She is sooo precious and there is so much love that surrounds her and she has a great family. I'm so proud to be her "Auntie Andi"!

I moved out of my apartment in Commerce and back home with Mom and Dad for the summer. Trevor doesn't much like the idea of having to share a bathroom again. Oh well! :)

School is over for about 3 weeks until I start summer classes over the internet from Commerce. Oh well! Gotta graduate sometime! :)

I don't have much more to say. I'm tired. Work is long and exhausting and living at home is nice and comfortable. Good night! :)

Riley Elaine...

Oh boy. My life has been super tiring lately. I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with school.

School:
It is literally going to kick my booty, but I'm doing well and my grades are pretty good which excites me. It is a long process with everything going on with research papers, and minor papers, and speeches, and quizzes coming up. I think I'm going to cry a lot before the end of this thing.

Work:
As of yesterday, the lead teacher (Mrs. Pat) in the green room (my room) has quit. Uh-ohhh! She was a grouchy old lady anyways who didn't care too much for the people there. She loved the kids, but not the older people who worked there. Oh darn. I think I'm going to see if they want to hire me full time come this summer so I can earn a little more than I do now. Anyways, that would be good. I just don't want my babies loving someone more than me!! :( :( Anyways, other than that it is going well. I had to take off yesterday for this reason:

Riley Elaine:
7 lbs. 12 ozs. 19 1/2 inches long. 3:58 p.m. April 12, 2010. My bestest friend's little girl entered the world yesterday after a tremendous scare. Lauren was doing great up until about 3 pm when the lady came in to give her an epidural. Apparently, Lauren's body couldn't take the epidural so they tried some other things but nothing worked. All of a sudden, the baby's heart beat disappeared. No one knew where it went, but they all knew that it wasn't good. They had to get that baby out before something tragic happened. I saw them wheel my best friend off to an emergency c-section and before you know, I was a big mess of tears and worry and fear. If anything would have happened to her, I don't know what I could have done. They wheeled her out at around 3:50 and the baby was plucked out of her belly at 3:58. Riley was crying and beautiful and perfect. A full head of dark hair and the squeals of a baby cat wanting dinner filled the nursery as the proud grandma (Tracy, my other momma) watched right beside her. Tracy even got to brush her hair which soothed her for about a milisecond. :) Lauren was sliced open in a hurry so it took them what felt like 6 hours, which was only about 1, to stitch her back up and put her back in her room. She hadn't even gotten to see her baby yet, but when she did, she was all smiles. Good thing she has enough hair for all those bows I had made for her. Lauren and Riley are doing great right now. I talked to Lauren about an hour ago and she sounded super tired which she said the doctors were keeping her all drugged up for the pain. Normal c-sections are planned out and carefully done, but with this case, they had to get the baby out fast. I'm so amazed at how my best friend for almost 20 years can be a mom. She will be a great mom and there are so many people supporting her and loving her. That poor Riley already has me wrapped around her finger and I can not wait to be able to play with her all summer long. As of right now, I have to finish this semester and then it will be Riley's time all summer long. I love my best friend more than anything and everything will change, but I know that everything happens for a reason and Riley is one of the best things that could have ever happened to Lauren. I love those girls more than anything and I am going to be the best Auntie Andi that anyone has ever seen!!!!

I love you, Lauren and Riley. Nothing can stop you now!! :)

Easter candy...

As I stare at the bag of Easter candy that sits on my desk, I am angry with not only myself, but Wal-Mart also. Seeing as they have the Easter candy right beside the door when you walk in means that temptations will rise up and allow the fallen to snatch the candy off the shelf before even realizing what they have done. I, sadly, was one of those fallen. The bag sits on my desk two pieces shy of what was originally there. Rats.

Anyways, my day was good. I had 17 kiddos at work today and they sure keep me guessing as to what they will do next! I dreaded the car ride to work because it was POURING rain. I couldn't see!!! But I made it to Bonham and guess what? Yep, sunshine!!! Soooo that means, we went outside to play!!! We were out there for a while and we were having a great time. One of my favorites, Ethan, talks non-stop. Seriously, non-stop. Anyways, he came up and sat in my lap and looked at me with big brown eyes and said, 'Miss Andrea, I love you.' ...Thanks, way to melt my heart!!! He is so cute and I can't help but love him!!! Everyone else was good today and that made me feel good. I got my wall decorated for our Dr. Suess month. It's his birthday!! So, of course, since I am in the green room, we did 'Green Eggs and Ham'. It looks pretty cool, if I do say so myself!! :)

Well, off to homework. T-minus 2 days until Spring Breakkk!!!!! But I still have to work, so there won't be much breakage of mine!! Good night everyone! :)

You make smile....

So I've had this song stuck in my head for a while and I'm in love with it.
"You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed, sing like a bird, dizzy in my head. Spin like a record, dizzy on a Sunday night." (there is more, but I don't feel like typing it.)

Anyways, I love that song.

So, nothing new has really happened. I am now food handler's certified, even though I don't really mess with the food at daycare. But I did learn that you have to wash your hands after doing ANYTHING. Literally, anything. Scratching your face, putting your hands on a table, stuff like that. Apparently, germs are bad!!!! (And for those who don't understand me, yes, I am being sarcastic!!!) Came back last night after training and watched "Much Ado about Nothing" with Jessica and it was fun! It really was a cute movie. Better than a lot that we have watched. Plus it was a comedy, and boy, do we love comedies!!! We were cracking up. Who knew Willy Speare was funny???

Anyways, over the weekend, we had Lauren's baby shower for Baby Riley!!! It looked like pink had exploded over everything. It was soooo cute! I think the shower went well, but what do I know! I was just a hostess! :) She got lots of cute stuff: stroller, bedding, high chair, swing, bouncer, clothes (ohh so cute), wipes, diapers (we made a diaper cake and it was awesome!), bows, and all the little necessary items! Lots of stuff!!! So we packed it all up and took it back to the house and helped her unload it all. She wanted to do everything right there, but we were pooped!!! But we did put some of the bedding on and it was ADORABLE!!!!! :) Overall, it was a great weekend!!!

Well, I'm fixing to put my curtains up and see how they look! Hopefully, I can get the bar across straight!!! We shall see!!!! :) :)

Good bye for now!

Wowww!

It sure has been a long time since I wrote on this thing!!!! I'm super sorry!!

A lot has happened in the past few weeks. I moved into an on-campus apartment from nasty yucky Smith hall which is amazing!!!! I don't have to wear flip flops in the shower anymore!!!! I share a room with 3 other girls: Morgan (19, sophomore, photography major), Marissa (21, junior, ag science major), and Courtney (20, don't know, don't know). Anyways, they are great!!!!! I miss Melanie though, but she will come over soon. :)

Anyways, classes have been going good. I have a case of the allergies right now so I think my head is going to explode!!! Mom has some medicine for me later so I will get that!

Today is going to be a good day because I get to see my bestest friend in the WHOLEEEEE WIDEEEEE WORLDDDD!!!!!! YAYAYAYAY :) (if you can't tell, I'm a little excited!)

I have to go to class now, but I will remember to post again later tonight!!! :)

1 v. 100

Watching game shows on GSN is always fun. I really enjoy 1 v. 100 because it asks questions that I would actually know. Previous question: "Who was married the longest? Pam Anderson &
Kid Rock, Britney Spears & K-Fed, or Renee & Kenny Chesney?" I mean, come on. I know that answer!!! Totally Brit & K-Fed!! :)

Anyways, with my speech prepared and a shower calling my name, my housing dilemma is over. I have decided that if an apartment comes available for me, I am going to take it. However, the only thing that is holding me back is my current roommate, Melanie. I feel bad, but I also feel that if I don't take it now, I won't ever get one. Hopefully I do and my decision will be final. I hope....ugh.

Anyways, my day was good. The kiddos got to play with shaving cream which they had on their faces and clothes after I told them to be careful, but who listens to me?? No one really. :) But oh I wish I had the life of a 4-year old. The extent of their worries and decision making processes are that of being invited to another's birthday party. Apparently, that is a big deal and I am just too old to remember that part of my life. Oh well. They are cute and I love my babies. :)

School was school. I have a new professor taking over another professor, but I'm not going into that one. My Shakespeare class was sooooo confusing today, just because this professor goes SOOOOO fast. I thought I talked fast, but oh goodness, she talks 90-to-nothing. Pretty crazy I know!!!!!

Anyways, I went to tan and to the gym and I feel pretty good about myself, but I came back to my room and had a Rice-Krispie treat, but it was sooo good!!!! Well, Derek just called and I'm going to go talk to him!!!! Good night!! :)

Channing Tatum...

Yum!!! Step Up is a great movie. Dancing is amazing. People who can dance amazing me. The talent, skill, and dedication are amazing.

This past week has been one of the longest weeks of my life. Nothing bad happened, but going to school and then working with my 4 year olds and then studying is wearing me out. I love my days, but they are long and tiring. I went to Derek's house on Friday because I hadn't seen him all week and I just wanted to see him. I spent the night because Mom and Dad had gone on a youth conference with the youth group from church. I woke up Saturday morning after Derek had gone to school and met Lauren and her mom to go shopping for some baby stuff. We ate at Panera Bread for breakfast (yummmmm) and then made our way to Lewisville to pick up some stuff from her father-in-law (I guess you could call him that??) Anyways, we went to Babies-R-Us after that to find some stuff for Riley! I'm sooooo ready for her to be here. :) Then I came home, took a shower, and went to bed!!!! It was great. Finally, when Mom and Dad got home, I was soooooo happy to see them. I love my momma and daddy! Then, today, Mom let me and Trev sleep late and they went to church and then when they got back, we went to Sherman and had Olive Garden (SOOO GOOD!!!!) and went shopping! I got a new pair of sandals, which are amazingly cute and two new shirts. They are AMAZING. One had Oscar the Grouch on it, and the other has the Cookie Monster on it. I figure I can wear it to work and let my kiddos talk about it. Fun stuff...

Anyways, now I am back at school and I'm fixing to take a shower and fall asleep! Yay. Class at 8, 10, and 11. Hopefully I will get my History test back tomorrow....I'm kind of nervous, but I thought I did okay. So yea, wish me luck!!! I'm getting off this thing and going to bed.

Good night! :)

No title...

Sorry, I couldn't think of a title. My brain hurts and it's going to hurt even more later. Shakespeare test tomorrow and I'm going over to Jessica's to study. Fun stuff.....

I wrote on my blog a few days ago, but it didn't post because it said something about an error. Oh well... Well, today was good. Veryyyyy long. My kiddos were not in a good mood today. All 17 of them. Crying out the wazoo. Is that how you spell it? I'm trying to find interesting things to say about the past week or so that I've not written....Oh, well I got to sleep in today until about 9 and it was GREAT! :) We didn't have speech class this morning, so I slept in. Also, next week, we have to give a speech in class and it is a process/how-to speech. My speech will be over How to change a diaper! Woo hoo! :) Hopefully I can pull that off.

Anyways, Shakespeare test tomorrow. Methods for someone else's presentation. Then work with my kiddos and I have to clos again, but oh well. PAYCHECK tomorrow!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!

And finally, I get to see my honey-bunny!!! (I've actually never called him that....hmmm) Anyways, I miss him like crazy. Enough to make me burst into tears randomly yesterday, but I had also had a long day at work. Anyways, I guess you can say that I kinda like him!!

Well, off to Jess's for Shakespeare. Good night! :)

Virginia...

What is there about Virginia that makes writing a speech about it so dad gum hard??? I'm busy, busy, busy working on it, but decided to take a break and write!

It's been another long, adventureous day!! School, work, tan, gym, homework. Same process everyday.

I didn't have my Methods class today since our professor was at a conference!!!!!! That deserves a big WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! Anyways, History and Shakespeare were good, not much about it there....Then once I got done with class, I was going to go to the library and take up my Methods time by working on the speech, but called Mom who persuaded me to go to Los Amigos with her...twist my arm, why don't you!?!??! Anyways, it was AMAZINGGG!!!!!!!! Yum yum doodle dum!

Work was work. Brittany (Blue Room) had a little boy throw up on her leg and everytime someone walked by her and the air would hit it, the smell came crashing back on us. Disgusting. None of my kiddos threw up!!! YAYYY :) But they were totally grossed out by it. Oh well. :) I bought them some Valentine's which I have to go back to my room and make when I get done with my speech. Woo hoo....Just some foam hearts that I am going to write their names on in glitter glue and stick a lollipop to the back of them. Easy but time consuming. They will love them; they like anything sparkly. Just like a four year old should.

Tanning was fun. I almost fell asleep in the bed but then when it shut off, I woke up! Hahahhh. Oops!! Then Jessica and I went to the gym again and I rode the little bike thing and burned 75 calories. Not nearly enough to make up for Los Amigos, but it was a good start for now, I guess. Then we tried the eliptical and that thing nearly about killed me. I rode for about 10 minutes and I couldn't take it any longer. Eventually, I will work my way up!!!

That's all for the night!!!! Good night! :)

GTL: gym, tan, laundry. - the laundry part.

As I write this, I am in the library working on some homework. Yay for homework....

I had a longgggggggggggggggggg day and I feel as if it is just going to get longer, even though it is 9:35 right now. I got up, went to class, came back to my dorm, went to another class, then left and headed to the "Bak, Bak, chicken place" as Nautica calls it. Nautica is one of my four year olds and everytime I go to Golden Chick for lunch she always gets excited!! There is a machine that gives kids a golden egg if they put a quarter in it and she always gets one when she goes, so it is known as the "Bak, Bak, chicken place" to her. I love that kid.

Daycare is good. We got two new little girls, Kylie and Kaydn. No, they are not sisters, just two different girls. They are cute, but I need to get to know them and their likes/dislikes and their behavioral styles. Hopefully, they will be on the good list!!! Yes, there is a list of bad and good, not actually written down, but in my head!

I'm tired. I went and tanned and then went to the gym with my new friend Jessica. We walked on the treadmills for about thirty minutes, which averaged out to 1.51 miles!! Yay us!!! It was fun. I tried to watch the Biggest Loser while I was walking so I could be motivated, but the volume was turned down and I forgot my headphones. Oh well. So now I don't know who got kicked off or anything, but I will figure it out later. Well, back to homework!!

Good night, blogging world! :)

Softly and quietly...

Furniture, boyfriend, family, basketball, cheeseburgers, Shakespeare and so much more have gone on this weekend. I'm exhausted and can't wait to close my eyes. Derek is on his way home and I don't want to fall asleep until he gets there and calls. He came to see me tonight even when he was tired from class and the week, but he still made the drive for forever to come see me. :) What can I say?? He is the best! :)

We got our new furniture today! It's a pretty brown suede microfiber kinda thing, but I LOVE it. It's sooooooo comfortable and plushy and soft and warm and BIG and it's crazy how amazing it is! We got new pillows and lamps and stuff and they want to paint eventually!!! It's gonna be great!

Anyways, I'm going to sleep now. Waiting for him to call and he can be the last voice I can hear before I sleep!!!!!

Good night! :)

(I'll post a picture of the living room in a day or two!)

Untitled...

"But I am in so far in blood that sin will pluck on sin. Tear-falling pity dwells not in this eye."

Skakespeare himself in Richard III, Act IV Scene II. Richard is so far in with the lies and the murder and the 'plan' to stop now. I get it!!

School, work, tan, dinner, Biggest Loser, shower, bed. That's the plan so far. Done with 5 out of 7 so we should be almost there!!! My eyes are getting droopy but it's still early.

I miss Derek. I get to see him on Thursday because it's my daddy's birthday and we are having a family party!! I'm so excited!! Plus, I will probably see him Friday and Saturday so it shouldn't be that bad. I do not like when I only get to see him for only a few hours and then he leaves. It is amazing when he is here, but I get lonely when he isn't here. But then once I know the day that I get to see him, I start my countdown and I get realllllly excited! :) He is the best boyfriend EVER!!!!

Finishing up Shakespeare via SparkNotes is a heck of a lot easier then trying to decipher what the book is telling me. Dad told me that he had his Shakespeare book from college, which is like 20 years old...but oh well! Anyways, he gave it to me and I realized that it is the same book that we are using today, except with a different cover. It made me laugh. So I use his book instead of the book that I bought, which I need to look to see if I can return!!! Yea, just looked, I can't. Crap. Since I ordered them on 12/31/09, I can't return it because I'm two days late!!!!! Crapppp! Oh well.

I'm going to be done with this thing. Good night!

Cheap Trick

I want you to want me...I need you to need me....I love you to love me.... :)

Cheap Trick is great. Just throwing that out there.

Today was good. School started out at 8, but our professor didn't show up so we left; we later found out that he was sick. Oh well! :) Then Shakespeare went well. I actually talked in class!!!!! Asked questions and stuff like that. I was proud of myself! Then for Jessica and mine's presentation, we did pretty dad gum good, if I do say so myself!!! We still have to finish up on Wednesday, but I'm not near as nervous so that's good.

Work was fun. We didn't do much but hopefully we can go outside tomorrow and run some energy out. However, I absolutly love Fridays since I get my lovely paycheck!! Yay for paycheck!

Well, I'm going to work on some homework and and take a shower and do some stretching!

Good night!! :)

Such a wonderful weekend...so far!

Well, it has been a great past two days.


Yesterday started off wet and cold and ewwwy! School was COLD, work was long ( I had to close) but the thing that made everything better was driving to McKinney to see Derek and him standing in the doorway with arms open wide to give me a huge hug! Ohhhhh, I missed him veryyyy much! It's been a week and 2 days since I last saw him and boy, was that toooo long! I told him at the beginning of the semester that I didn't schedule time for him (I didn't really mean it, but so far it has turned out that way) and I hope he is okay with that. It won't be for much longer so hopefully everything will be great! I missed him like crazy and just being with him was very de-stressful and relaxing! Plus, on a bad note, I bought 8 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from his sister and we all know where those are going to end up....on my BUTT!!! But oh, I do love me some Thin Mints!! :)


Then today, I met Mom and Lauren and Tracy and Granny Joy in McKinney and went to register for baby stuff for Lauren and soon to be Riley (April 12!!!!!). I found the CUTEST bib at Babies-R-Us that said "My aunt loves me!!" She doesn't have a sister, but I figured I'm the best person for the job so yayy!!! I have to get that for her.... :)



FYI This is where I parked when she was in my car!! :)

After we got done shopping, me and madre drove home in order to get ready for a wedding. It's one of my best friends, Jacey, her older sister, Jordan. OH man, that wedding was INCREDIBLE! Jordan looked like a princess and everything was amazing. It was fun! I got to hang out with some old friends that I haven't seen in a while and ate cake and had soo much fun!

Now, I am laying in bed and it is so warm and I love it, however the dog keeps barking outside because she hears the horses next door so I have had to go out there twice and tell her to stop. I tapped her on the head, told her "no" and told her to get in her bed and she ACTUALLY LISTENED TO ME!!!! wow...amazing. My new profession: dog training!

Good night! :)

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Soaking wet...

It is a downpour outside and I ran from the library to my car with 7 books in my backpack and rain in my face and cold burning my body!!! It was stressful, funny, and tough at the same time! Me and Jess rannnnnnn fast! Anyone who saw probably had to do a double take and wonder why these two random white girls were doing running across campus! Pretty humerous if I do say so myself!!

Work was stressful today. This week has just been LONG! They have been stubborn and have been hitting, kicking, pushing, and talking smack to each other...and they are FOUR!!!! It's ridiculous...I don't know how many times I say, "Do I need to go get Mr. Mike?!?!" (They are scared of him, and truthfully, I am too!!!!) ((But he is super nice!!)) Anyways, we made bookmarks yesterday and next week we are going to be kitties and puppies!! With whiskers and tails and everything!! Woo hoo!! I took some pictures of the kids so ya'll could know what they look like, but they are on my phone and I left that little doo-dad thing that I have to have to transfer pictures from my phone to my computer at home so ya'll are going to have to wait! :)

School is school. Nothing more to say about that.

I am going to take a shower and curl up in bed with Willy Speare and Sparky (SparkNotes!) Good night, blogging world!! I shall see you soon! :)

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Extremely.....

Tired, stressed, tired, nervous, tired, confused, tired....did I mention tired???

Long day of classes, work, and studying. Still not over yet...Going to take a shower and read some Willy Speare. Such fun....

Good night!

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

The eyes are drooping...

I am watching Jay Leno right now and I didn't know Mel Gibson had a new baby...but okay, more power to him!

Today was a good day. Classes went good. I went to Speech and I got my grade for a speech I did last week...I made a 50....out of 50!!! Woo hoo!!!! He said that I was a naturally funny "kid" (yes, he did call me a kid...) but anyways!!! I was still really excited. I am my father's child! :) Then my Political Science class went well after I had my allergy medicine in my system. Apparently, my body doesn't like the Mountain Cedar crap that is floating around everywhere. So DayQuil/NyQuil are my new best friends.

Work was work. No one threw up so that was a good day. I did have a little boy wet his pants during nap time and he didn't have any other change of clothes so we had to give him a pair of shorts that were WAY to big and he walked around comando and with a string tied around his waist for about 4 hours. It was humoreous! But he didn't mind. I love that kid!! :)

So then I came back to C-town and met with a girl from my class and worked on a project. Don't ask me what it was about...because I really don't know. But oh well, we are going to talk to our professor tomorrow and see what we can do to understand this crazy thing!!

Okay, well I'm off to read some Willy Speare! Hopefully the boyfriend will call soon and relieve me from that!! He played with real fire tonight so we will see how that went!!! :)

Good night, blogging world!

Monday, January 25, 2010

My new friend...

I shall now refer to him as Willy Speare. How we will ever understand each other?!?!?!?!



This is where I want to be right now....good night.

So much to do, so little time!!

Well, today was a good day!

As I sit in my dorm room reflecting on my day, I realize that overall it was a good day. Somewhat overwhelming, but okay. I had class this morning and realized that it was going to be a long day. History, Shakespeare, and Literary & Research Methods (which I learned that I have to do a presentation for in less than a week...eek!!) My day started at 7:00 a.m. with history and my professor is literally 4 years older than me. Oh well! Shakespeare (which my professor is CRAZY and I can't understand her because she talks sooo much faster than I do) is going to be a challenge...I don't understand what it is all about!!! Ugh. And Literary & Research Methods...we aren't even going to talk about that. It's going to be a long semester...

Daycare. 4 year olds. 1:30 to 6. Everyday. Need I say more??

But I really do love them!

Then I started on my way back to school for dinner and homework. I called my boyfriend (Derek) and he informed me that tomorrow is the day that they get to play with real fire instead of sitting in the classroom (he is going to school to be a fireman) so that made me nervous!!! But it is what he is excited about and I'm supportive and I know he will make an AMAZING fireman one day!! :) Picture of us!





That's about all for now!!!

Sonnets, Saints, and Smiles

Well, hello!!!!! This is my first post and I doubt anyone will read this!! :)

As of right now, 10:38 p.m, I still must read some of the sonnets from "The Riverside Shakespeare" 2nd edition. Fun stuff!!! I have to read a few and then write a very short response of which one I liked best and WHY I liked it. Hopefully everything will come easily! Maybe I will understand Shakespeare, but then again, maybe not!

The game for the NFC Champions is over and now the Saints and Colts are in the Superbowl!!! Woo hoo!!! I'm all for the Saints. For the regular season, I am a super Cowboys fan, but seeing as they lost to the Vikings, I was for the Vikings losing, which they did! Miles Austin is absolutly, hands down, my favorite Cowboy! He can catch any pass that is thrown to him and he makes some great plays! Anyways, I like the Saints because Reggie Bush plays for them and Kim Kardasian is his girlfriend and I think she is pretty! :)

This has been an amazing weekend. I made the trip to Arkansas to see all my friends from Ouachita Baptist and even though it was Bid Day (for the social club pledges), I still had fun and saw most of my old, but great friends!!!

Okay, well I guess that's all for the day! History at 8 am so that should be interesting (my professor is literally maybe 4 years older than me...wow!) Have a great night, blogging world!!
