3-3-2010; it's been awhile (again)

I'm engaged! Ha, that was a pretty cliche way to start off the blog after you get engaged, but it's true. Well, it actually happened about a month ago (Feb. 6th) and it was a lot of fun. Not sense in boring you with the whole story, but it was perfect for us & that's all that needs to be say. ANYWAY..onto the rest of my life.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting their own great battle."

There are numerous versions of this quote that fly around facebook statuses, tattoos, motivational books, etc. but the point stands very true. This is something I am trying to become more aware of as I live my daily life, but I have to be honest - it's not easy. I have always been a harsh critique on myself and sometimes others. It's something I've had many talks to Jesus about - of course, I tend to not listen. Go figure.

I haven't had the best of days (I really need to start blogging when I have a good day so you all don't think I'm sort of depressed or pissed college chick running around ). I'm feeling overwhelmed with life, people, and all that implies. I get thrown off easily and it's not always the easiest to bounce back from. Basically it's coming to Spring Break & I need it. This is more or less a post that makes no sense to anyone, but myself & I want it that way. I don't need to plaster names across here or situations - I'll remember.

It's been a rough day. That's all there is to know.

01-07-10; who says?

Who says I can't be free from all the things I used to be?
Rewrite my history. Who says I can't be free?

Happy 2010! Only two more years until the end of the world, sad day. I know. Ha!

Anyway...Christmas was good. This year didn't really feel like Christmas for some reason. Don't get me wrong; it was great & I'm extremely blessed, but I just felt like it flew by so quickly. So quickly in fact that I'm sitting in my dorm room right now writing this blog. Yep, I'm already back at school, but that's only because I'm taking an Intensive. Wow, let me tell you, four hours in a class room has been extremely rough, but I'm glad I did it. That's two more credit hours taken care of. I'm honestly not glad to be back - in fact, I want to be at home right now. That would be perfection.

This year I didn't make a New Year's resolution - they never work for me anyway. I guess the one thing I want to do is be a better person, but I hope that's every year. Maybe, if I made a resolution, it would be to capture my thoughts more often - which is hopefully what I do here. I really do need a place where I can just vent, be myself, and talk about crazy trash. I know now one reads this & I kind of like it that way; it's for my benefit.

I've been feeling kind of down lately - or insure, that's a better word for. I know that sounds so foolish, but it's true. There really isn't a specific reason; well, at least that I can pinpoint, but I know there is one. I've felt kind of useless for a little while I think, but it's hard to just tell people that. That's one of my biggest problems: I build up this huge, I'm talking huge-huge, wall around myself so people always think that I'm fine or that I can handle whatever's thrown my way, but maybe it's just wearing. Is this making any sense? Probably not. I'll look back and go, "what in the world?" This is just my pity party entry, I guess. I'm ready to graduate though. Get out of school and figure out what I want to do with my life - which I have still a blank piece of paper about.

My grandma had surgery yesterday & I have to be honest - I was a wreck. I knew that she would be fine; well, I knew God would take care of her, but I just had this sick feeling about the whole thing. She did great, but I think it was just the fact that I've grown up with this strong woman in my life & it's so hard to watch her be anything but perfectly fine. My dad is sick. That's something I haven't told anyone. His blood pressure is through the roof again and I'm worried. His dad was his age when he died of a heart attack, but he still thinks he's too tough for that to get him. Honestly I don't think he's happy - my mom is hardly around & it wears on him. I just pray he gets his act together because I need my daddy.

Life is back into full swing and I'm still trying to push off...

I will rejoice. I will declare; God is my victory & He is here!

On the Bright-Side: Jon is fantastic & I adore him, I'm back with friends, my grandma came through her surgery well (thank God!), God has blessed me so much, pears are delicious, I got a coffee pot for Christmas, John Mayer music is peaceful, I found my pinky ring, I can truly feel God working in me, my search for a great devotional is still in progress, Grey's Anatomy will be returning next week, diet pepsi is still great & going to get diet pepsi in a blizzard is just hilarious, Christmas was a blessing, the snow is beautiful, one more day of intensive week, jay-z is still the man, we came home safely from Vegas, Avatar was fantastic, sour straws are still my favorite, my hair is growing, my face is clearing up, I have new pajama pants, Hillsong gives me peace, fireplaces are great alone - or with loved ones, my mommy had her birthday yesterday, my daddy was in high spirits the other day, somewhere in the world it's warm & tropical, FRIENDS still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, cowboys are in the playoffs, & I was blessed with another day.

Until something truly revolutionary,

12-09-2009; facebook statuses



Don't wear your heart on your Facebook status.
It's not flattering & it's usually overly
emotional & no one really cares.

Especially when you're making an anonymous shout out
to your "haters". Yeah, they probably don't hate you
that much & it's more obvious why they would dislike you
if you're doing all your smack talk via a computer device.

Second; why are you even friends with the people you're hating
on? You must be if you're putting it in your facebook status..
You obviously want them to see it & it's just uncalled for.

Long story short?
Build a bridge & get over it.

12-06-2009; ode to 'fence sitters'

Side note: Make a wish. It's 11:11 right now. Always a good time.




I am starting out this ode by saying this; I normally do what I can to keep this blog crap & drama free because let's face it - it's not even worth it & I have way more to be thankful for than to actually sit here in complain, BUT, with that being said, I have my moments & lets just say it's rounding that time & I'm going to do it - blog style. It's not like this gets read anyway, so I'll take my moment & run with it.

My definition of a 'fence sitter', it's not Webster, but whatev; an individual or set of people that will not take a stand on anything & basically act as though it's all gravy for them & they couldn't care less.

Seen one? Oh we all have & sometimes I can take them - I mean I'm never fond of them, but in small doses it's something I can handle. Well, lets just say I have had way more than a small dose lately and I'm truly ready to hang them all up by their toes until they decide they actually give a DARN about something (see that, I didn't even curse...& I so wanted too). I'm a pretty outspoken person & I pride myself on that. Now, I'm not always right - as much as I hate that fact, but you'll at least know where I stand or where you stand in my eyes. I don't do fake very well & I've never been a good sugarcoater so maybe this is why these individuals drive me absolutely up a wall. I guess in my mind fence sitters are right up there with liars because that's basically what they're doing. Okay, I shouldn't say all - in THIS specific situation that's what this individual is doing. They have an opinion & their actions speak so much louder than words & as far as I can see all we have is a coward on our hands.

I'm not doing details, because lets be honest; this is for my venting purposes only & I do not need details - I got 'em & they really just tick me off. I think what bothers me the most is that it bothers me at all. Does that make sense? I mean it should bother me now that I have a loved one involved, but seriously I just want to lay this person & most of the time another individual involved, flat on the ground, but then again they are both bigger than me - I'd get my tush handed to me. I just want to shake 'em & then kick 'em in the shine in hopes that'll wake 'em up, but it won't. Dumber than a box of rocks - seriously.

Okay. That was enough whiny, childish venting & was really unnecessary.

On the bright side: Christmas is soon, Finals & Break is even sooner, Going to Las Vegas with my most favorite peeps in the world for New Year's, I have Jon's Christmas almost done, it's going to snow soon, I have fantastically talented & amazing friends, FRIENDS never ceases to make me laugh, watched Dazed & Confused today, wore enough makeup to cover a country (probably even a big one) for 7 performances this weekend, Jon gave me pink roses today :), I'm falling more in love with country music, diet soda runs my life, homework is (basically) done, I think my internship is lined up (hopefully), winter means cute boots & scarfs everyone on everyone - it's fantastic, laundry got done on Friday, I did the dishes(finally), bought pudding, Brad & Angie are on the outs (sorry, that's kinda mean), it's bed time, & lived to see another day.

11-21-2009; bella makes bad decisions.

Saw New Moon tonight. It was great & all, but obviously Bella makes bad decisions.

Case in Point:


Who in their right mind would pick Edward 'I have pasty semi-abs' Cullen over THIS?!
That's just my only complaint with the movie. Well, I already knew this was coming since I've read the books, but it's still so upsetting! I would pick warmblooded over cold any day; plus - Jacob has a PULSE & doesn't plan on taking yours from you at any moment.

-end fangirl moment-

11-18-2009; sometimes it's the rain.



I don't know about where you're at, but here it has been raining almost nonstop since Sunday evening (& it's Wednesday). I'm just talking about a little sprinkle here & there; no, I'm talking about the kind of rain that runs parallel with the ground & is going so quickly that you swear God is playing a mean game of Super Soakers & you weren't prepared to arm yourself. Plus, it's near freezing; let's just say I packed up my things to move to the beach about four days ago - still waiting for the offer to come my way.

Rain was always something I really enjoyed until I came to college & had to walk from class to class in it. ha! I still like rainy days from time to time, but it's seriously getting to be a little much - four days in a row? Come on now. I probably just am feeling negative 'cause I am so stressed over homework & other of life's happenings, but that's to be expected. My latest stress? Internships. That's right, I'm a junior in college - okay breath - that's right a junior in COLLEGE. Wasn't it just last week I was a junior in high school? Apparently not. Once I get past this whole internship thing then I need to look into applying to SLU's law school. Yeah, we're going to save that 'til next year. I refuse to stress over that now - although I've already started if I'm honest. ha! Anyway, I hate to have this be a useless blog about complaining about the stress in my life since I'm still extremely blessed so I'll be done.

On the bright side: going to see New Moon Saturday - I'm too old for this midnight showing crap, The Blind Side comes out Friday, I have a fantastic boyfriend & friends, I'm blessed to know a God who loves me & forgives me, Diet Pepsi is making a comeback, my face is no longer breaking up (extreme bight side), I have found a new love for FRIENDS & The Office, Grey's Anatomy is new tomorrow, FLYLEAF ALBUM!, going back to work next Wednesday, rocked our OB presentation today, finished my paper for CS, & lived to see another day.

Yeah, life's doing pretty good.

11-03-2009; hello, halfway through the semester.



Well, obviously blogging has not been on the top of my to-do-list recently since it's been at least two months since my last post. School is definitely in full swing & it can slow down at ant time & I'd be perfectly okay with that. Been a pretty productive semester so far - well, I think. I've managed to get two different social events off the ground, one business event (kind of) off the ground, manage classes, and work at the business office. I'm really enjoying the semester, but this is by far the most stressed I've been in awhile.
I always start out updating a blog thinking I'm going to get this big huge gushing thing off my chest & then I realize I really don't have that much to gush about. I'm sure I could complain about my tiny problems, but that would be pretty pathetic since God has blessed me with so much & I have basically signed on to do everything that I'm doing right now.
Christmas is fast approaching & that means I get to make a Christmas list! And who doesn't love that?

Another pair of Uggs :)


Nikon 5000, yes please!


North Face jacket


Jessica Simpson coat


Chocolate Lab! I would probably cry if I really got one.
