oooh, where did the time go

So yea, its been a long ass time since I've wrote on here. Craziness. School is still trying to kill me, but I think I can win. I am having an art show this Saturday. It should be awesome. I will have a couple prints in the show. Check it out!

School is trying to kill me...

...or at least trying to make me age prematurely!! Seriously, all my tests and projects due at the same time is just too much. I kinda screwed up and wasted some time. Well I wouldn't say wasted. I had other things to get done (bills, errands, eatting, getting sick) and that put me behind schedule. So now I am a little worried!!! I gotta eat and get ready and get to Tampa ASAP!!! I over slept today and that makes it all even worse! ahh!

It's been a while

So yea, it's been forever and a day since I last wrote. School has kept me crazy busy. This weekend and upcoming week will be the worst, but hopefully after that it won't be as bad for about a week. Today I am home sick. I have a female issue and it is no fun. I do have some homework I need to get done today as well as some cleaning. I am a little frustrated right now because Abe and I got into a fight this morning and I over heard my mom talking about me being a cry baby over the phone. She said it a little nicer, and I am not fully sure that is what she said, but it is what it sounded like. I just wish I was back to normal so that I didn't have to worry about that. Abe got mad at me over nothing major because he wasn't feeling well and that made me mad. And anyone who knows me, knows that when I'm mad I cuss. Well he takes major offense to cussing at him. I don't feel like its that bad and it just gets out my anger. So I don't feel like I need to try to change, but he wants me to. I don't even know if I can, its just habit. *sigh*
Other news... Abe almost cut off the tip of his finger. He had to go to the ER and can't work for a couple weeks while it heals. Crazy. Oh, I haven't wrote about this yet, however I've known for a little while now. We found out that his mom has breast cancer. It was a shock. They did a surgery on her already and now they want her to go through chemo and radiation. She seems in high spirits about it which is great. I am honestly a little surprised that this didn't worsen her depression.
As to my surgery, I am surviving. I have had quite a few bad days. I am moderately dehydrated and I can't seem to fix it. I am eating lots of salt, or at least I feel like I am. The only other thing is maybe I'm not getting enough fluids. But if I drink more then I am too full to ever eat. It is quite a tricky situation. I go to see my surgeon tomorrow for a check up. I am scared because I know he's gonna ask if I've been taking my supplements and I don't always because sometimes they hurt my stomach. They major one that I know he is concerned about is my multivitamin that I am supposed to take 3 times a day. I am in the process of finding one that works for me. I have Flintstones chewables because they are better than what I had, but I have a hard time taking 3 of those a day. As of yesterday I have lost 38lbs in just over a month. It will start slowing down quite a bit now. In fact it has started slowing already. I'm hoping in a couple months I will feel better and can start exercising.
School is school. Lots of homework and always keeping me busy. Next week I have 3 tests and a photo project due. The photo project is about memory. I am reprinting old family pictures with a little twist. Unfortunately my mom doesn't keep negatives, so I have to pay $4 a picture to have them converted into a negative. That takes a few days to do, so I will be in the lab all weekend. *sigh*

MGB update

BTW, it has been a little over 2 weeks since I've had the surgery and I've lost 24lbs. I think I'm eating too much salt (I have to sip sip sip, and eat salt salt salt) because I believe I'm retaining fluid. But I am happy that I am on my way. I am having some problems getting down all my pills and getting in my protein, because that shit tastes nasty!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach. But i am doing great for the most part.

family

My sister and brother-in-law are coming down Sunday. It will be nice to see them. They can see me while I'm still fat, and then the next time they see me they'll be shocked at how skinny I am!

McCain's VP

So I was very suprised to learn that McCain picked a woman as his running mate. I just didn't see him being open to that. Plus she is pretty inexperienced. I think he did it to appeal to female voters and to try to gain some popularity. I am voting for Obama!

Back 2 school

So school started on Monday. Fun fun! It was a lot of work to get Abe's and my schedules to work, but they did finally. I am taking: Research Methods in Psych, Biology for non majors, Intro to Art online, and Color photography. Let me tell you, I am pretty scared of color photo. First of all, everyone in there as had way more photo classes than me and they all know each other. I am like a inexperienced loser in there. But my teacher, who was my beginning photo teacher, thinks I'll do great. I have a project I have to shoot this weekend, that I have to use 2 cameras for, so I had to borrow his. And I can't figure out how to open it to load the film! I will feel like such a lamo asking! We also are eventually going to get into digital and photoshop, so that's exciting. I am just worried that I will have the lamest photos compared to everyone else. My other classes seem cool, so harder than others. I actually have quite a bit of homework to do this weekend. So the big new is that Abe's course load and other things (CLEP and GRE tests) are a bit overwhelming and if he has any shot getting accepted into the architecture program this year he'll have to quit his job. If he does we should get more aid, so that's good. And so we are pretty much gonna do it and move to Tampa. Because the best apartments are full we may have to wait a month to get in one. Other wise we can rent a much smaller, crapper apartment for the same price or more. We pretty much have one picked and were told that we could move in at the end of Sept. Its pretty exciting. Of course we will end up being the typical poor college student. But it will be worth it.

Luckiest girl in the world

So I woke up this morning (way to early I'd like to add) to find this:

You are my blessing,
Who makes my heart sing
You are my love, my queen, and my wife.
I don’t know what I’d do, without you in my life.
I’d be sad and lonely--miserable too,
But now I’m happy and joyful, all thanks to you.
Have a great rest, to avoid feeling sleepy,
And know you are, the best thing that’s happened to me.

I love you

Abe.


Abe writes me quick poems from time to time. Isn't that so sweet!! I love my husband!

HP push back

So I'm a little sad that the new Harry Potter movie is being pushed back to July. All because they think it will sell more tickets then. But i am not surprised. This has not been the first push back. So by then I'll be so much thinner and maybe I'll enjoy it more. haha.

surgery complications

Okay, so I had my surgery on 8/13/08 and I was a problem maker. My liver was covering my stomach so the surgeon couldn't work on my stomach from the normal 5 small incisions (its laparoscopic) he makes, and had to make 8 to be able to do it. I was in excessive pain, and after I was released (because I said I was fine, but I was on pain meds) I had to be readmitted for 3 days. It was pretty crazy. The pain eased and then i got nausea, but the surgeon (Dr. P) quickly fixed that. there were issues with sharing a thermostat and roasting at 90 degrees, getting sicker and having to be moved to a cool room, but then I was fine. So Sunday after I got home I slept most of the day away. Which I had to sleep on my back for an entire week. that gave me problems! And for 2 weeks I am only allowed liquids (mainly Gatorade), yogurt, and crackers. It is very hard to get in all the liquids I need. Especially drinking Gatorade all the time. I literally have to sip (you can only take small sips at a time) constantly. The first day I over did it and made myself so full that I couldn't do anything for a few hours. I have had a couple other weird things... pains and stuff at weird times. But all in all I am doing much better. I had my staples removed yesterday and that's when I was given the okay to sleep on my sides again. I have lost 14Lbs of water weight this first week. So that's pretty good. I can't wait to be on stage 2 in a week, which is adding mushy foods. The stomach is really sensitive right now, which is why I must ease my way back to a normal diet. And this is mainly what I have been having to deal with the past week. It is a pretty dramatic change. The first day after I was released I kinda freaked out. I was balling my eyes out about not being about to drink enough and not feeling normal and on and on. But I slowly but surely am feeling better and better about everything. I can't wait to see where I am 6 months from now.

The Mole

So I just watched the season finale of The Mole. And it was awesome. First of all Craig was the Mole, and I had mixed feelings about him being the mole. At the beginning I said he would be a great mole because no one would suspect him (being the funny, lovable, overweight guy). But then I thought that it would be too easy to make him the mole. So I started thinking about who else would no one think was the mole. By the finale 3 I decided that my pick for the mole would Mark who turned out to be the winner. But the cool thing was what I missed throughout the show. Apparently they had clues as to who was not the mole, who was in the finale 3, and who the mole was, but I never really thought anything of them, because I didn't know they were giving clues. they were so hidden, it was awesome. I wish I would've known so I could've been on the look out for them. Next season I will definitely be on the look out.

My birthday

So yesterday was my birthday. It actually kicked off at the pink party pub crawl, which rocked. I got home at like 6am and talked with Abe for about an hour and went to sleep. Then got up at 10:30am, because I figured everyone was waiting for me. We were suppose to go out on the boat. But that fell through. Abe and my dad went golfing while i was sleeping. And they got home around noon and brought home some taco bell. My dad had to work the next day, which meant going to bed early. So he was worried that we wouldn't have time to take the boat out, go out to dinner, and him get to bed. So I axed the idea. I was pretty cranky from no sleep and didn't feel up to debating the day. So I opted for a cheap family day at home playing board games, ordering pizza, and having cake and ice cream. I know, how thrilling. But I had to try to please everyone else, and it got annoying. And I get sick of planning my own birthday every year. So I just decided to relax and not have to worry about everything. I had a very cute birthday cake, it was actually a cupcake cake. I loved it. I got a brand new slim nikon digital camera... well it hasn't got here yet, but its ordered. I got a I.O.U pedi and mani. which I can't wait to use. $20 from my grandpa. A scary movie, shutter, and a DS game. Also a fairy book and some super sweet, emotional cards. I was tearing up like crazy! I may get eyelash extensions too as a late bday present. If you haven't heard about eyelash extensions, OMG they are they best thing EVER! They are actual extensions for your eyelashes, it takes hours to put on cause they are individual. Since eyelashes fallout normally so do the extensions, so after you have them done you have to have monthly up keep. But they make your eyes so gorgeous. Its like having celebrity eyes! I want them soo bad. But anywho, back to my birthday. I also have something coming from my inlaws. They usually send money, so that is always a good good. It may not sound like the coolest birthday, but I enjoyed it.

Pretty in Pink--my last drunken night

So Saturday night I went to pub crawl in downtown Orlando with JimMay!. You pay a cover to go to 4 different bars/clubs and get a free drink, plus cheaper drinks after that. The theme was Pink Party. So I, a self professed pink lover, had nothing to wear. Since I didn't have a car, I had to catch a ride with my parents to good old walmart to try to find something that would fit me, and that looked half way decent. I found a pink Tinkerbell baby doll tee. It was super casual and not the coolest thing in the world. But I had to rock it. So I was pretty reserved at first. I needed to get some drinks in me to really loosen up. Jimmy on the other hand was showing off his dance skills! And people were loving it. He was the pink celebrity! It was awesome. So by the last club I was feeling it. And I was ready to let loose. I was having a ton of fun dancing it up. AND they kept calling ladies on stage for free shots and I always made my way there. I had at least 4-5 free shots! And they tasted so good! Jimmy and I found some new cool clubs we could hit up now. However, since I can't have alcohol after my surgery I will have to just rock it sober. I'll just buy virgins. Jimmy got some retarded footage of me on his flip video camera. But whatever, it will be funny as hell to watch. I definitely missed those good times. And I definitely plan on not letting this no alcohol ruin those good times to come either.

MGB

So its been forever and a day since I last wrote. I have kinda been putting it off since almost all of my time as been consumed by something I didn't want to talk about. But since now it is definitely going to happen I might as well spill the beans. So I have decided to have the Mini Gastric Bypass surgery. It is of course a weight loss surgery. I usually don't admit anywhere online that I am overweight because it just turns people away. But since this is going to be such a major impact on my life I just have to be able to post my struggles and achievements on here. It has been such a rollercoaster just trying to get this surgery it is unreal.
So first of all the deal with the MGB. It is the best, safest, most affordable weight loss surgery available. It has the lowest complications out of all other weight loss surgeries. And with all other surgeries (ie RNY, lap band, etc) they can fail, (ie able to gain weight back). With the mini gastric bypass people loose the weight and maintain it. Plus it is revisable/revers able, unlike many other surgeries. So if I loose too little I could get the bypass length increased and loose more. Or if I loose too much it can be fixed. So it all seems great right? Well there are downfalls. I can never have Alcohol or soda again in my life. Apparently red wine may be okay after a couple years, but nothing hard. Giving up Dr. Pepper was actually a hard choice. But I know it will be worth it to be thin. Also I will have to take multivitamins for the rest of my life. I am not a pill person. I forget all the time, but I will make it work, because again it is worth it.
This surgery is only about 10 years old and not too well known. This is because the surgeon who created it only lets doctors do it after working with him, and have done it on tons of people for the experience curve. Therefore only him and one other doctor have a clinic open to offer it currently. One is in Las Vegas and the other right here in Florida, right by the hospital I live by. So I knew that it was fate.
So most insurance won't pay for obesity related things, and mine is no different. So I had to come up with the money myself. The usual charge is $17,000. that includes everything; surgery, hospital stay, followups, etc. But employees at the hospital get 50% off and sometimes can get their family the discount. Luckily my mom works there and after talking to quite a few people, including the surgeon who does this, everyone agreed to give me the discount. So I still had to come up with $8500. Abe and I applied for loans and were rejected a lot. We finally found a company to give us $7500, so we figured we could come up with the rest and thought it was a done deal. But there were problems, but I'll get to that in a minute. After thinking I had the money I began trying to get this surgery rolling.
I went to a "clinic" which is where new patients and some post ops go to talk to the surgeon. You can ask him anything and everything. It is a requirement to go to to have surgery. There I got my manual and packet. The manual is 130 pages of information, and I had to read it all. Which was harder than it sounds because of the material. But know I am very well informed about my surgery and others, and what to expect. The packet is all the paperwork and such required, and it is a lot of stuff. I had to go to my doctor and get him on board. He had to write a support letter and do a physical. He was suppose to order my lab work too, but there were issues. He had a family emergency vacation. But his office had the lab orders for me and I just had to pick them up by noon. However when I got there at 11:30am they were gone. I tried everything to get my labs. I went to the lab place at least 4 or 5 times in one day with new attempts. I was able to get a doctor who i used to work for to write the order. And I finally got my labs done.
It was important to get them done that day for a reason. It usually is required to have the packet in 2 weeks before surgery and I needed to have the surgery before I started school on the 25th. So I was rushing everything. The surgeon's office agreed to let me turn it in without the 2 week requirement. They just had to rush it, but it was still a very tight deadline to meet. I had to go get a psych eval. And actually read the manual. I had to write a 9-10 page letter answering all sorts of questions. It was crazy hard and long to do. I had to have a family support letter that was notarized. And I had to contact 10 former MGB patients. The easy part was actually contacting them, since another requirement is to join this web group, and there are tons of contacts that way. plus it is a great place to get information.
It was a crazy time getting the packet done. And there were a lot of ups and down... one day it was working out and I was going to get the surgery, other days stuff would go wrong and appear I wouldn't get the surgery. And that rollercoaster is still going. Thursday we went to get our loan money, and they screwed us. They made a critical error and it turned out they could only give us $3900. So we were a lot short. We ran around Friday trying to get loans and my parents offered to cosign. It was a day of craziness that fell through. But my uncle George, (yes one who I often complained about) had the money and offered it send it to us. So OMG, my Uncle was a life saver. And I am so grateful. Of course we have to pay him back, but without interest! So it was amazing. We had to get the $3900 from the loan company and the rest is coming from my uncle. So the surgery is definitely happening. BTW, it is happening on the 13th of Aug. That's just 4 days away. I will have to stay overnight in the hospital. I am really excited, and sad because I have to stop drinking Dr.pepper today. But I gotta go because I have to go to fill out some paperwork I missed in my packet.

HP half blood prince

So this trailer for the new HP movie came out, and I have to post it of course!! here it is...

I can't wait!

It feels like its been forever

So I feel like its been forever since I wrote, even though its only been about 6 days. I guess its because a lot has been happening. First of all, I have watched last weeks so you think you can dance, but haven't had a chance to do my weekly review yet. And I have watched the wed epi for this week already, so I think I will do a joint post of both weeks. I also happened to catch big brother yesterday. I was a little behind since that was my first epi, but it reminded me how much I love that show. So I am going to start taping it. I am also taping project runway, which as been really awesome so far. So I have been crazy busy going to doctors and getting lab work done. And going and doing all the shopping a junk since Abe is still recovering. Tuesday was the first day in a while that I actually had some downtime, and it was nice. I took Abe to the doctor to get his packing and splints taken out of his nose. It was hard to watch, not because it grossed me out, but because he was in soo much pain. It was awful. However he seems to be doing better now that all that stuff is out. After that the funniest thing happened. We had to take paperwork to Abe's work for his medical leave. There was a meeting going on so we had 10 mins to kill. My dad works there, so I said lets find dad's car and give him a fake ticket or something. So we found it and he was parked pretty funky, so Abe said to write that he needed to stay in the lines or he'd get a coach, which is a like reprimand. So I found a piece of paper and wrote, "This is a WARNING, Lawrence. You must park inside the yellow line. If you do not you will get a coach." And I stuck it on his windshield. I didn't think he would think it was real, I mean it was just on a crappy piece of paper and not signed. Well he thought it was real!! He went in and got managers and they thought it might be real. And they were gonna check with all the other managers to see who wrote it and junk. The manager that went outside to check out the parking job told him, "its just a warning. just don't park like that again." ha ha! My dad was freaked because if he gets another coach he could be fired. When he came home Abe asked him how he liked the prank, and that's when he caught on, lol. He told us the story, and he laughed. He said he was gonna get us back though. But I thought that was so funny. I have a couple other posts I wanna make, but I don't have time right now. Hopefully I will get them up here super soon. oh here is a pic of Abe a couple days after surgery... poor baby!!

Busy Busy Busy

So this has been a crazy week so far. The biggest is Abe's surgery. He had it Wednesday and it went great. However the effects after surgery suck! He feels awful. And is nose is huge and bloody. But I know it will all be worth it. I had to rush him home after because I had to be at a doctor visit and I couldn't miss it. So I felt really bad. Today I had another Dr. appointment and was there forever. Then I had to get prescriptions for Abe and shop. Then I forget stuff he needed for treatment and had to go out again plus get us dinner. I was running around for hours. And I wasn't done there because I had to nurse my hubby. Plus I have a lot of junk I'm trying to do myself. I haven't watched the SYTYCD results show yet, so my post on that will be later. Oh and I got GREAT news today!!! My scholarship that I lost in 2003 was given back to me!! And this time its 100% of tuition instead of 75%! I mean how flippin awesome is that! It really is true that if you are positive and believe good things will happen that they will! Hurray! Well I gotta fill out some paperwork and try to get some sleep. BTW, my sleeping schedule has been kinda stinky. I have been getting tired at night, sometimes midnight, often before that, like at 9pm or 10pm. But I'll wake up after 3 or 4 hours sleep and unable to fall back asleep until like 7am. I have stayed up all day after just 4 hrs of sleep, hoping the next night I would sleep all the way through, but noo, the same thing happens! Oh well. I guess my body wants to be awake at night! Okay, this time I am really going...

OMG! NO! Not Kherington!

I just can't believe it! I just can't! How in the world could Kherington go home. So she had a bad night. She has been awesome throughout the rest of the show. And other people... *cough cough* Comfort, have continually been not good enough. This just blows my mind. Ugh! But I must put that aside to talk about my favorite routines. My favorite was a broadway with Katee and Will. My 2nd Fav was a contemporary with Chelsie and Gev. Yeah, they mixed couples this week. So here they are.

So Gev was the guy who went home. Which, as you can see, he didn't deserve to. He did a great job this week. This was just an insane week. I really wish that the judges still had control for a little longer, because they so would not have let this happen. So I am still in shock! UGH!

Get smart

Abe and I went to the movies last night. It was great except for all the raining. I got a new umbrella from the Cirque store though =) We walked around Virgin until it was time for our movie. We saw Get Smart and it was really funny. I am a huge Steve Carrell fan and he totally was way funny in this one. Anne Hathoway was great too! So it was good for me. I and the audience laughed out loud many times throughout the movie.

CSI loses another!!!

So now Grissom is leaving the show, sometime midseason. He too said that he was a actor and needed to do other gigs. But he intends to keep working with the show as a producer and making appearances from time to time. I just can't believe so many amazing characters are leaving. I really feel like some stars just don't know when they have it good. I seriously don't see Jorja Fox breaking out as an A-list movie star anytime soon. She had a great thing going for her. I feel she should have road that train until it went no more. But they are trying to live their dream and wanted other things, so I guess I can't really blame them. A familar face (at least to me) will be joining the CSI team. Lauren Lee Smith, who played Lara on the Lword, will be one of the new CSIs. I think that she will be great at this show. I just am still in shock over losing so many characters!!!

stuff

So what have I been doing? Well, I have been working on a few things. My parents are trying to do a major change, that at this time don't really want people to know about, so I will keep it secret. Its nothing bad or crazy, so quit jumping to weird ideas. But I have been going places with them to give them my opinions and such and helping them. And today.. well I guess yesterday I had to work my butt off!! I had to do some insane cleaning and I still didn't finish. I am pooped. Abe and I were trying to move to Tampa by the end of the summer, but then found out that the new home buyer grants for FL have been used up. And we were kinda counting on those. I guess my parents figured that we a given up hope for a year, but we still are going to try. We have been pre-approved for a mortgage, but Abe will have to stay at my parents on the weekends until he found a job in Tampa. So its a lot to consider. We haven't went touring houses yet, but I found a few that we liked. Most of what we can afford are fixer uppers, which I kinda like. Just as long as its livable. Otherwise it can't happen. So that been my main stress. I also have had another major thing on my mind, but I do not wish to disclose that now. But just know that if I seem like I am feeling blue or distracted that I have something I am trying to deal with. But anyway, that is whats been going on.

Last weeks SYTYCD

So my couple that was next in line to go home did, Comfort and Thayne. So I wasn't shocked. I was surprised that Kherington and Twitch were in the bottom. I just thought even though they didn't have the best night people liked them more than Courtney and Gev. I was very impressed by the solos this time. And now I am worried about who will go next. I have a feeling that unless Jess does some pretty amazing stuff she will go, but I have no clue which guy would go. I really don't want Jessica to leave yet either. Who knows, I'll find out in a few days. So my favorite routine was the Bollywood dance by Katee and Joshua. My second fave was... well I'm not sure. Either the contemporary one by Jessica and Will or The Broadway by Chelsie and Mark. I also was crazy impressed by the Krump by Kherington and Twitch. hmmm. Hard choices. There were quite a few routines that just were wow material. But I don't know if have one that I think was the worst. But here is the Bollywood.



And instead of posting my other faves, I'm posting the solos I liked because they grabbed me more. So here is Kherington. Which took me back to her audition. She is just amazing.



And finally Twitches was just too cool. He has such amazing musicality. It's insane.

Surgery

So Abe found out today that he has to have another surgery. This time for his nose. And he'll be outta work for 2 weeks. Since he won't have vacation time for a while, its gonna be crazy tight. But I want him to be able to breathe out of his nose!! I want him to be able to smell!! At least, I think I do. lol.

foot updates

So my crazy blister story keeps getting weirder. My mom drained it and it came back. And then two days ago it filled up with blood! I was totally freaked out, because I mean half my toe was bloody and puffy. Then yesterday as I was changing my band+aid a big chunk of my skin, from the blister tore off and stuck to the band+aid. I was really freaking out. It was totally gross!!! I went to the doctor yesterday and the doctor was just like, "your young, it will heal". I was there for a check up on the part of my toes she actually worked on. And hurray I'm not infected and I can get my feet wet again. my toes still look gross though, and it may take a while for them to look normal. And I can't get my pedicure until this damn open sore blister crap goes away. It is still all bloody looking, since only part of the blister riped off. ugh! I want my pedicure.

feeling blue

Well today everything seems to be going wrong. I just haven't had luck with some things I'm trying to do. Plus I have a bad headache and other annoying things have happened today. So yea, I am just not very happy right now. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Happy 4th

Happy Independence day! Today I am not doing much of anything. I thought the family was going to have a cookout and go out on the boat but that isn't happening. I guess everyone had plans so we are having a cookout tomorrow. It's for the best anyway with my toe still messed up it would be a big risk to try to do any of that. Abe and I might just get the house to ourselves. So anywho, Happy 4th of July!

SYTYCD faves and goodbyes

So this week Jazz and Contemporary ruled the show for me. Mia Michaels and Many Moore are so awesome! They both had 2 different routines and they were all great. So I'll just get right into it. It was incredibly hard for me to pick my favorite. But I have picked Joshua and Katee's contemporary with Mia as my number 1. I couldn't pick a next favorite. Its a tie between Jessica and Will's Mandy Moore's Jazz and Kherington and Twitch's Mia Michaels contemporary. So since they are all soooo freakin good, I will post all 3. First up Joshua and Katee's:



Next is Jessica and Will:



And Finally Kherington and Twitch:



So as for the results show. Well I was right on who was going home. It was Kourtni and Matt, so I wasn't shocked and that made it much easier. And they weren't in my top 3 couples, so I guess I shouldn't be too upset. I did cry a little though. I just thought that they were soo good. I was kinda surprised that Courtney and Gev were in the bottom three, I thought Will and Jess might have been, even though they would not have deserved it. But I must say, out of all the solos Courtney and Gev's were the best. I was surprised and that helped me like them more. So they are growing on me. I predict that Comfort and Thayne will be the ones who go next week. My 4 favorite couples are Joshua and Katee, Jessica and Will, Kherington and Twitch, and Chelsea and Mark. If any of them go home I will be crushed. And I know eventually some of them will, but I don't want to think of that.

SYTYCD mixed feelings 7/2

So, I felt a little confused after watching the show. I felt the judges were harder on some routines that didn't deserve it and gave great crits on others that just weren't as good as they claimed. For instance, when Matt and Kourtni danced hip hop I was wowed. I mean for the past few weeks all they've been talking about is how Matt dances like he has something stuck up his butt, all high and mighty. But he was smooth and getting down into it. I thought it was a HUGE leap of progress for him. And not one judge said that. I was shocked!!! Yea, he didn't hit the pops hard, but it looked like it was suppose to be smooth to me. Was it my favorite routine, no, but did it deserve such harshness, no way. Vise versa, Joshua and Katee's last dance was a swing dance by Benji. And it was nothing like it should've been and they got rave reviews! I mean the first few dances Nigel and Napoleon were saying if they had to compare people's routines to professionals it was just awful, well so was Joshua and Katee, apart for a few moves. I mean when Benji would dance it was just so powerful. *Pow* kicks here and crazy fast feet there! Joshua and Katee danced it soo soft! I know how Benji moves, and how he would've wanted those moves and they just weren't up to par. I am a big big fan of Joshua and Katee, but I feel like the judges were judging based on who their favorites were. The couples they were hardest on were the couples who are always in the bottom. Also, Jessica and Will. I am a huge fan of them and often I think they are way to hard on Jessica. And tonight they were for sure. Their contemporary routine was amazing!!! I loved every bit of it, and still they said Jessica was pulling Will down. It is only making her self-esteem lower and that is whats holding her back. I hope that she breaks free of it, because her and Will are soo amazing! The couple I care least about is Courtney and Gev. They just don't pull me in. I think they are pretty good, but I have no connection to them. And the sad thing is that they won't be going home for at least 2 more weeks, but Instead couples I am more connected to will be going. And I can already tell by the judges comments that it will be either Kourtni and Matt or Comfort and Thayne. I am way more interested in them than Courtney and Gev. This is going to make these next couple Thursdays hard. But, there were a few super amazing routines that really left me happy and so much more. Mia Michaels is a freakin genius!!! But I'll get into my favs later. It's late and I don't know if the videos I want to add are up yet. But I wanted to make sure I got this out before I forgot the details. So I will post the videos of my favorites dances tomorrow, along with any new feelings about who goes home.

whats the dealio, dealio...

What's the dealio? dealio? What, what's the deal? deal?

So, not much here. Still issues with my toe and showering. Fun times. I've basically been trying to chill at the house until this gets better. My husband has been home for his days off and it been great. This has been the first time in a long time when we both could relax together. Its been soo awesome.

Oh and I watched the mole. I can't believe the players refused to do that challenge. The mole was at work!! I don't know who the mole is, but I know who I think it's not.

feel my pain

Here are some pictures of my messed up toe. And these are all just from the top. The blisster and pain go all the way around to the bottom of my toe. So here is my gross pain!!

more on toes

So something is way wrong with one of my toes. I have a massive blisster on the side of my big toe... the side of the toe that they didn't even work on... My toe is freaking huge. And it is also on the bottom on my toe so it makes it hard to walk. And on the outskirts of the blister its very sore, so I can't put any pressure on my toe at all. So I have to deal for the weekend and try to get ahold of my doctor on Monday. Hopefully it will get better soon, cause it is freaking me out!!!

This week's SYTYCD

Okay, so this weeks SYTYCD... I will pick my two favorite dances and then get into the sad elimination. So my favorite dance was a hip hop dance, choreographed by Tabitha and Napolean. And it was danced by Chelsea and Mark. I really really love dances that have a story with them, they are the ones that seem to crab me the most. So the story was of a workaholic and his lover, whom didn't want him to leave beacuse he was always gone.



I just think that was so freakin awesome!!!! As for my second favorite. Well that was a harder choice. It came down to Kherington and Twitch, Katee and Joshua, or Kourtni and Matt. I think I was really captivated by Twitchington and Kourtni and matt so I'll show both. Twitchington danced hip hop. The video explains it all.



And Kourtni and Matt danced contempory.



So for some reason Kourtni and Matt were in the bottom 3, but I thought the dance was awesome!! The other couples in the bottom were Chelsea and Thayne, and Comfort and Chris. Out of all the routines Comfort and Chris did the worst, so I prepared myself for them to leave, but I wasn't fully correct. They sent home Chelsea, who I loved. I thought she got screwed with her dance draw this week and thats the only reason she got sent home. There are other girls who I would have rather seen come home before her. And as for the guys they sent home Chris, which I understood. I totally cried for this elimination.

toes and crap

So What have I been up to? Well, I have tried to relax for a couple days, but it always seems that something comes up. Monday Abe had jury duty and then he had to go back a second day because they still hadn't picked the jurors for his case. He was going to have to go back a third day, but spoke with the attorneys personally and said why he wouldn't be right for this and they ended up dismissing him. Wednesday I had an appointment with my new foot doctor. I expected just an examine and then a reschedule, but nope. I had two ingrown toenails that were causing me problems and she wanted to fix it right then and there. I had to get 4 shots in each big toe, which was the worst part. Toes are extra sensitive and it is the worst place to get a shot. I felt like my toe was going to explode!! Then, of course, she cut out the sides of the toenails. I thought it was going to be no big deal, but it is worse than I thought. I can't get my feet wet for 2 weeks and I have to constantly have bandages on my toes. Right now, the bottom of my toes hurt, so it hurts to walk normal. So since I can't get my feet wet I have to keep them covered if I take a shower and the doctors office gave me one special foot cover thing that keeps water out. That's ONE, as in for just one foot! What am I suppose to do, have one foot hanging out the shower? I guess I will go to my old school cheapo plan. And that is to use wal-mart bags and rubber bands. lol.

Kherington

So, I really liked Kherington's audtion and just wanted to share it.

This weeks favs on SYTYCD

So this week I thought many couples showed their weaker sides. My favorite dance was a Broadway routine danced by Katee and Joshua. It was awesome! Nigel went nuts for it and all the judges were giving a standing O to them. So here it is so you can enjoy it too.



This is my second favorite of the week. It is danced by Kherington and Twitch. Whom I totally love!!! They have been soo awesome so far. I was moved to tears. The backstory is that the choreographer Jean Marc made this routine "For his daughter who sadly lost motor skills she is only animated when she sees people dance". (fox.com)



I like a few others, but these were this weeks standouts. And I also believed that the right people were sent home.

update

So yesterday was the last day of my drawing class. It has kept me insanely busy, but I have gotten sooo much out of it. I do find it bitter sweet. I was totally ready for a break and ready to have time to get stuff done. And I was sooo stressed out in this class. But I really liked that I was pushed out of my comfort zone. I had to draw things that I didn't think I could, and when I finished a drawing I had such a great feeling of satisfaction! I have a lot of pictures to upload, but I quite frankly am tired and it may take me a couple days to get it done. My sleeping is all out of whack too. I stayed up until 5am working on my final drawing, sleep for maybe 3 hours, got up and cut the matte board and made touch up, and went to class. without ever eating either. Finally, when class was done I had a chance to eat and when I got home I tried to stay awake, but couldn't and fell asleep around 7pm... I think. But woke up at 11:30pm and couldn't get back to sleep. So now that its after 6am, I finally feel like I can get a little sleep. Btw, I did pretty good on my final, I'll post a pic soon. I got an A on it, so yay! He had us grade ourselves, and I said A and he said he thought it was B+ or A-, so I ended up with an A. My grade for the entire class... um, I dunno. I could get a C because he thinks of the grading differently, but last I checked I had a "B".

Fav dances and dancers

I managed to take some time out and watch SYTYCD on Wed and I really enjoyed it. There were two dances that particuarly stuck out for me. The first was a Mia Michaels routine danced by Chelsie H. & Mark. I am actually not a huge fan of Mark's but Chelsie and Mia are awesome and it was great. I just hope that Mark doesn't pull Chelsie H down. The other was hip hop routine choreographed by Tabitha & Napoleon and danced by Katee & Joshua. I loved the emotion and story behind the dance. Dances that have that are so moving. I haven't pick my favorite girl and favorite guy just yet. But I do have a few favorites right now. But I have fewer that I don't like. My least favorite guys are Gev and Mark right now. Least favorite girl would be Susie, right now... That all can change as the weeks go by. I definately felt that out of the bottom 3 on Thursday that the right couple went. I didn't think Rayven & Jamie dance was the worst of the night, but I wasn't feeling Jamie and out of the other couples in the bottom 3 I felt they were the ones to go. So I want to share my favorite dances for those of you who didn't catch it and want to see some awesome stuff. So the first one is the Mia Michaels one. It is supposed to be like what "Tim Burton's wedding" would be like. Two cooky people in love, at their wedding. It sounds kinda weird, but its good. The second is the hip hop with Katee and Joshua. The story is that Joshua is getting shipped out to war.

drawing, grades, work

So today in drawing class the teacher gave us back all our work and we had little meetings with him where we could discuss our grades. While drawing draped fabric. I found our that I got C's on a couple drawings that I thought I did well on. But he says that a "C" means average, so that's how he grades. I guess I understand that, and I agree with it most of the "C"s I got. There are one or two that I though were at least "B"s. I did get some "B"s and lately I've gotten a couple "A"s. Overall I have a "B" in the class so far. So I am cool with that. And I love the fact that I've improved soo much. I'm going to take pictures of some of the drawings that I like and some where you can see how much I've improved. So, today was mixed for me. We only have one week left and a lot to do. I need to make up one homework. We got two new assignments for the weekend and I have to do a major final project. Plus I know we'll get homework next week as well. So this weekend is going to be killer.

Abe's self portrait

We both saw that something was slightly off but couldn't put our finger on it. The teacher pointed out that the lips were too low, so there was too much space under the nose and too little to the chin. But I think his shading and work on the eyes are just crazy!

Self Portrait

So I have been super crazy busy with school. Next Thursday is the last day and our teacher has kept us insanely busy. We recently had to draw a self portrait. Abe and I misunderstood how he wanted us to do it, but we still got the top A's in the class. In fact the teacher said that if he could pick just one to get to gold star it would be mine! I was super happy. So here it is.

My drawing

So obviously I was at a slightly different viewing angle than Abe was. And I ran out of time to try to fix the ink wash and blending. But I still like it.

Abe's drawing

So this is a picture of a drawing my husband did in Tuesday's class. He is way more experienced in drawing than me, and he did great on this. I have my drawing of the same model and pose that I will post in a different blog. I didn't want to confuse anyone or make it seem like Abe's drawing was mine. The second picture is just a detailed image of the face. We had about 2 hours to draw this and it was on huge brown paper. Like from the ground it could reach my chest, and I'm tall. It was actually kind of nice to work large scale. We also had a requirement to use vine charcoal, pressed charcoal, white pastel, red-ish brown conte, and ink wash (ink mixed with water applied with a Japanese brush). The model had red-ish hair btw.

Travis aka Danielle's audition

Travis Wall in Drag

So on tonight's SYTYCD Travis dressed up in drag and auditioned under a fake name. He danced to "It's Raining Men" It was so funny and awesome!! As soon as I find a video I am sooo posting it! I really didn't realize it was him under he was walking away. It was funny hearing the judges figuring it out during the performance. It was great. And again the show was great. Every audition show I cry, smile, laugh. Some people are so inspirational. I love this show. And I totally love Travis!!

Presidental race

So looks like Obama won and Hilary's out. I was hoping Hilary could take back the lead, but I am not unhappy with Obama. I thought both were awesome, so i will gladly support Obama come November. However, when this race was in its starting stages I thought this would happen. I even wrote about it in another blog. I said that men whom were used to old white guys would put a black man in way faster than a woman. I don't think thats the only reason Obama won, I just think some older democrats may have voted based on gender. I also think that as this campaigne went on both showed some ugly sides at times, which made me double think which canidate I really wanted. But anywho, I think this has been a great presidental race. More people have been interested in politics and thats awesome. Hell, I've been more involved in this one than ever before. I think its been great for our country.

The Mole

So The Mole is back on the air and it is great! The first episode was last night, and luckily I caught it. I honestly had no clue when it was going to start and just happened to be channel surfing. Soo, it is super hard to try to figure out the mole, just within the first episode I could find at least one reason every player could be the mole. I do have a complaint though. I just wasn't feeling the host. He just seemed more like a serious newcaster than a good host. But I think I can deal, because the show makes up for it. I am totally excited about seeing the next episode.

The egg

So here is the egg I had to draw with no lines. (this is a picture I took of the drawing). I got an A on it!! hurray! We had to vote on the best one and Abe and I tied for the best! And I also got called a goddess by the teacher because I did the other homework so well. He said i did the sumi ink and brush part better than anyone in the class! i just had a good day in drawing class. But I am pooped.

Ugh!

I am so F-ing tired, but now I get to do more homework. I had to get up early so that hopefully I will finish. I have to draw an egg with no lines... with one light on it making certain shadows. It will take a while because I will have to do a technique called graining, and that is a very slow process. That was one part of my previous torturous homework. Well off to attempt this and then to school. I pray that there is no homework tonight!!

Still going crazy

Well I am still working on my crazy homework. I am almost done with the first assignment, which was the crazy one. I still have one more that I'm not really looking forward to, but I won't be anywhere near as torturous and this first one. I don't have a ton of time, but I wanted to get in an update. Also I took some pictures of some of the exercises and stuff I've been working on. All of my major drawings I've done so far the teacher has. All of these are geature drawings. Some for 5 seconds. Some for 5 mins. And the first one is a 30 min one. It was the first time we used sumi ink on a drawing.

Going Crazy

So yea, I am going crazy. The homework assignments that I have this weekend are total torture!! It is going to take me all day everyday this weekend to finish. Abe had to get a couple days off work just so he could work on it. And he'll still have to try to finish Monday before class. I keep trying to talk him into taking off the last day too because it's going to be even crazier to try to finish if not. I really don't know how to begin to explain the homework and illustrate hoe awful it really is. Just take my word for it. It's its cruel. But I don't have any more time because i need to get back to working on it.

Sick TV Cards

Well today I wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home from school. I am kinda afraid, because I can't make up whatever they draw in class. But what could I do. I did get some chores done though, so today wasn't a complete waste. Last night I finally watched the season finale of Criminal Minds and CSI:NY. I think CBS has to kill someone off every show as a quota, lol. When I first watched the ending of criminal minds, for some reason I thought all the cars with the people got blown up, but I realized later that it was just one. I read a few blogs with people's theories on who it was, if they'll die, etc. I can't even guess, however I thought some of the theories could be very much possible. Yesterday was Memorial Day and we had a family cookout. It was nice. We all ate out on the back porch, which meant a lot to me. I fixed it all up for my mom's mother's day present. So I want my mom and everyone to enjoy it. My husband and I also played cards with my folks after. We don't get too many opportunities to all play with my husband's work schedule, so it was nice. My husband went to school, and I am anxious for him to get home so I can find out how much I will regret missing today. And we have some major homework due this Thursday, so I'm sure we'll work on that too.

Penny ante poker and Grandpa

Well tonight I played penny ante poker with my Grandpa, parents, and my aunt and uncle. We all live on the same street. My sister also has her own place on the street too. This is my families street, haha. My Grandpa is having a hard time right now. He lost his wife last October and now he is starting to go blind. He is often lonely and is too proud to really talk about it. He has broke down and cried in front of my mom a couple times. It breaks my heart. He also has issues with my grandma's kids. When she died she left her son as the beneficiary. Since Grandpa was short on money and she didn't have a ton of family here there was no funeral. We did have a pot luck remembrance dinner though, and she was cremated. Everyone assumed that life insurance money would go to the funeral home to cover the costs of cremation and then the money would go to the beneficiary, including the funeral home. But it didn't. And the son won't even give my grandpa any of the money. My grandpa needs it to pay her hospital bills and the cremation costs, but they are just greedy. It really pisses me off that they are screwing my grandpa over like that. He loved my grandma dearly and would have given her the world if he could. Some of my family had issues with her, she was the step mom and had her own kids that my aunts claim she treated better. I didn't really see any of that, just because it happened before I was born and when I was tiny. My grandpa is just the sweetest man ever. I really wish I was better off so I could help him more. But he really enjoyed playing cards tonight and so did I.

So you think you can dance

So you probably noticed the dancing videos I put up. Well I was reminded of them because Jimmy had a dance on his page which made me think of the show and my favorite dances. Well, last night was the first night it came on this season. I didn't see it when it aired, but I have watched it through my wonderful DVR. So I am really excited about it already and it was just auditions. There were some really awesome dancers that I was moved by just their audition piece. And they're were some tear jerker moments too. For instance, there was this girl who was visually impaired, she literally could barely see in front of her and had to have someone help her on the stage. You could tell that she really loved dancing and was pretty good at it. It just wasn't good enough for the show. She lacked some pop in it. But they were all really supportive of her and Mia Michaels was balling her eyes out. It was very inspiring and hopefully she will kept dancing. Of course the next few weeks will be all about auditions, but they are fun to watch. And for those of you who watched the previous seasons, Sex came back again. Its almost sad to watch him, I mean I'm sure he is just acting, but it really seems like he thinks he could get on the show, and its just sad.

okay one more that i really love

One of my favorite dances

Iron Vampires

So I went to the movies Tuesday after class and saw iron man with my hubby. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I actually really liked it. I also saw a preview for a movie that I totally wanna see. It is called Twilight, and is a vampire movie. It has the actor who played Cedric Diggery in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am super excited to see him in something else, cause he was awesome in Potter.

Tears, pain, and acomplishment

Hola peoples. So I am exhausted! I didn't get like any sleep last night and I had to wake up to do 2 hrs of drawings of my hand. I had to do a blind contour for an hour!!! Of just the outline of my hand. It was torture. Drawing class has really been a lot of work. I actually got really overwhelmed and emotional in class. When it came to making real drawings of stuff the teacher sets up, I felt I was the worst in the class. I didn't know where to begin or how to really size it all out. The teacher came to correct me and I felt pretty embarrassed and he kept coming to help me and hardly no one else. I just felt like I sucked super bad. Then yesterday in class I still felt uneasy about drawing and we had to spend the whole class drawing this assemble of stuff on a mini stage. I was of course overwhelmed and the teacher came and saw how I was starting and was correcting and helping me. I felt like an untalented chump and even started to tear up, which only made me feel even more silly. But the teacher gave me really good advice and it took me a long time and it was a lot of measuring and fixing, but I actually made a pretty good drawing. It was a little small and the shadows weren't as dark as they should've been, but it was pretty damn good for one of my first major drawings. I left feeling very excited, pleased, and hopeful. Today we had our first nude model. I was nervous that I would make the model look awful on my paper, but it was okay. I used what I had learned and did some okay gesture drawings. The teacher did come by and offer some help, but today I was happy for it. I think I will actually improve and make some cool things in this class. Unfortunately, I have some boring, hard, time consuming homework this weekend, but oh well. I also heard that there is an awesome scanner on campus, so I am gonna try to find out more and maybe I will be able to post some of my work.

sleepy drawing

Alright, so today I am super sleepy. I didn't get enough sleep because I had to get up early to work on some homework for my drawing class. In class we worked on gestures and contours which I suck at. And tonight we have to draw a contour of a plant for 3 hours! ugh!! I live an hour away from campus, so that taken a couple of my hours away a day. I believe my husband and I are going to go to good ol' wally world to get some groceries, come home and make dinner, and watch a movie while we eat. Then its plant time. It's been a busy, but not very interesting day.

Not so much

So today I haven't done a whole lot yet. I slept in until noon. I started trying to do homework, but was interrupted because I had to get ready to leave. We planned a dinner with my parents and my grandpa Johnson at Red Lobster. I am currently awaiting my husbands arrival home from work and then we are off. However, surprisingly he is still not home. I bet he is milking the clock, which my dad will be pissed if he was purposely staying late. Oh well. Anywhoo, I need to try to work on my homework some more. I am taking beginning drawing right now, and in the summer B section I will be taking beginning painting. My homework is to define vocab and draw or paste a picture example of the term. yawn! And it is taking longer than I expected. Oh well, back to work I guess.

My husband

So here's the deal with my husband if you don't know much about him. I met him while I was staying with one of my sister's in Illinois. I got a part time job at walmart in fabrics and crafts thanks to my brother-in-law's mom. Abraham worked full time in the GM (General merchandise) backroom. He was a superviser over the unloading crew. I remember seeing him in the breakroom and I thought to myself that he was pretty hott. The first time we spoke I had some trash to throw away after putting up new frieght so on my way back to the sales floor he passed me and said, "I like your hair." He continued walking very quickly, so I didn't even have a chance to respond. But I was taken back and was like, "wow, a hott guy complimented me!" haha. So I wondered about him from time to time. I liked working in the backroom organizing the overstock and working old frieght because it was boring on the sales floor, plus I often got a chance to peek at Abe. He helped me with boxes a couples times and we had some very short converstions on occasition. Then we actually spend time talking about ourselves and stuff over a break. It was the first time I really found out much about him. Shortly after that he came and asked me if I wanted to go hangout with him and some of the guys from work at a poolhall. So I said sure. I was definately excited. I remember texting a friend, "OMG, a hot guy just asked me out." So I drove where he told me it was and since I never played pool, I just leaned on a wall. But I talked with everyone there a lot. I felt like Abe was definately flirting with me a lot. All in all I thought it was a good night. However, we didn't start dating and there were issues. The next week all the guys who were there asked me if I was going to go again, because it was a weekly thing for them. I told them that I didn't know, I was waiting on an invite from Abe. One of the guys openly liked me and tried to tell me that Abe wasn't that great of a guy and said that he invited another girl to go. So I definately wasn't going, but I was shocked. Abe was acting like he really liked me, but asked out another girl. He also told me that they were teasing Abe about liking me and he claimed that I wasn't his type, that I didn't have a nice enough body and etc. However to this day Abe denies ever saying that. He thinks that the guy just said that so I wouldn't like Abe. I don't know which is true, but it doesn't matter anymore. After that Abe starting asking me to go bowling and renting movies and hanging out. That went on for a while, and we were "just friends" hanging out all the time. Then, he was staying at my house one night and I asked him if he was ever going to ask me out; that we like each other and had been hanging out for months, come on already. And thats how we became a couple. Things weren't going well at my sisters however. I was working and going to school so I didn't have much time to work around the house and they weren't happy about that. So a couple months after Abe and I started going out I decided that I needed to move back home to Florida, because I had out stayed my welcome at my sisters. Abe and I decided to continue dating, and he said that he wanted to move to Florida when he got his AA degree. He drove down to Florida with me and loved it and it was hard for us to part. I flew there for a short trip after a while. But after a couple months he dumped me. He gave some weird reasons and I was devistated. I decided that I was going to fly up there and find out for sure it was over. Looking back on it it seems a little irrational, but it was worth it. We actually got back togther before I got there so they trip was like make up time. He said that he just couldn't stand being without me, it was too hard on him. But we toughed it out. He came down from Christmas and I went there for valentines day. He finally said the L work on V-day. And then he finally moved to Florida that summer. And the following spring we got married. We didn't have the money but didn't want to wait, so we had a court house wedding and decided we would have a big wedding for family and friends when we had the money. He really is a great guy and puts up with a lot of crap from me. I can tell that he truely loves me, and I feel like I am truely lucky to find one of the good guys.

He is also a full time student at USF. He is trying to get a masters in architecture. He also works a very hard job at a warehouse. He wants so badly to make all my dreams come true. I love him so very much.

The purpose of Life

"The purpose of life is a life of purpose."
-Robert Byrne

Shocked by CSI!

Okay, so I couldn't watch the CSI finale when it aired because (as you may have read) I went to the movies with Jimmy. So I watched it tonight and I am sooo shocked!! ---Quit reading if you haven't seen it yet and plan to--- After all the drama of Warrick maybe being a killer, they killed him! ugh!!! I was already crying when I had to see him in such pain when he didn't know if he did it or not, but I suspected something had to happen when that guy came to the car. What a A$%h@%*!!! But I think there is a chance he survived if Nick runs out in time. A very very slim chance I know, but here's hoping. I mean this season we lost Sarah and Warrick! Thats too many main characters to lose!!! And now we have to hope that the CSI's figure out that their boss is the bad guy, but I bet it will take the entire season for them to get the evidence on him. Well it was a good season finale, I am just sad that we had to lose him! Now whos going to be causing the drama within the dapartment, I mean since Cathrine's mob dad is dead she doesn't have drama and with sarah and warrick gone there's no one to cause problems. I mean Nick is always the good guy who always knows better than to cause problems... I don't see any other drama makers. I guess there could be new people or maybe they'll make Nick or Greg have issues. Only time will tell I guess.

This is me and my husband Abe!

Baby Mama, friends, and games

So my restart to the day has gone well. I went back to sleep and when I awoke no one was home. It was great because I need time to wake up, I am usually a little cranky in the morning. Last night I went to the movies with my best friend Jimmy. We say 'Baby Mama'. It was very funny. I predicted the ending, but I would still recommend it. After the movie we walked to the parking lot and stayed there for a while talking. We laughed, we cried, we had a much needed talk. It was great because we used to have talks like that all the time, but we both have been pretty busy and haven't had the chance to do that in a while. It was a good night. However, I almost made my husband late to work because he had to drive my car to work. Luckily he called just in time for me to make it home.
So today I totally plan on vegging out. Watching TV, playing video games, just relaxing. And yup I play dorking video games. Thats all thanks to Jimmy and my husband, Abe. But I know who I am. A girlie girl who likes pink (the color), faeries, shoes, musicals, and dorky video games. Oh yea, and I am a big Harry Potter fan. I just like a huge variety of things. So there's another peek at me.

bad start and a little info

So usually when I start some kind of journal or in this case blog, where I speak about myself, I always feel the need to give a huge back story. So that new stories won't be confusing and to help establish who I am and where I am in my life. However I am simply not in the mood for that right now. I will get to that, but I just woke up and am a little cranky. Especially because I was woken up way before I had enough sleep. And not to a nice start either. My dad called and was yelling at me about finding my mom. It was rather annoying and on top of that I had to seriously go pee, but I couldn't because my dad was yelling at me. So the day hasn't started great, but I think I will try again. I'm going to go back to bed and then see if the day starts off any better. But I will start a little of my back story now.

I am 23 years old. A college student at the University of South Florida. I am married. And my husband and I are currently living with my parents.... well we are renting a room in their house. So that's it for now. I'll probably write more later today because I am excited about this.

Starting

Okay, so I decided to start a blog. Hurray! hehe. I will use this space to say whats on my mind, vent, express myself, and let everyone know whats going on in my life. Right now I just got home from a night out with my best friend, Jimmy and its 4am, therefore I am going to bed. I just wanted to get this started. More to come soon.
