All my weird random thoughts

What's in my purse?

2009-03-04T21:25:00.002-06:00

I really need to clean out my purse... But first I'm gonna go over the contents of it just for fun!

my cell phone
its my lifeline! haha no really if i didnt have it with me i would go crazy and be needing it all day.. but half the time when i HAVE it i dont use it/need it.. so safe to say its pretty much all in my head!

my wallet
its got my debit card, drivers license,school ID, etc

Marlboro Lights & lighters
i'm addicted.. its a fact of my life.. deal with it.

tanning lotion
I recently started tanning 2-3 times a week, so its just easier to keep it in my purse.

junk that i rarely need
theres always quite a bit of stuff in my purse that i may or may not actually need.. it turns into a sort of catch-all at times!

Spring Break

2009-03-03T17:40:00.003-06:00

So I have one more day of classes (Thursday) standing between me and Spring Break. Now for most people this would be pretty exciting because that means they get to go somewhere. I am not going anywhere nor have I ever gone anywhere during spring break week. I will just be enjoying the week of no classes and working. I'm only working Sunday, Monday and Wednesday though so I will actually have some free time to hang out and do whatever! Every spring break I have had since I started college I have spent working. So it will be nice to have a couple extra days off this time to just relax. Last year my parents went out of town the week of spring break and so I had the whole house to myself so that was a vacation in and of itself! haha Anywho nothing too exciting here. I'm quite a boring college student lol More tomorrow!

My nickname

2009-03-02T14:29:00.001-06:00

I have several nicknames.. The first one would be Sarah-Bara-Boo and it was given to me by my grandmother when I was very young... My friends in junior high shortened it to Sarah-boo. I had a teacher in highschool who called me Wheels (shortening my last name). I once had a manager who called me Rah-Rah, she said I was just so cheery it reminded her of her friend Sarah. My whole life there are people who have called me Sari. So anyway theres a list and reasons for the various names I will answer too!

NaBloPoMo

2009-03-01T23:30:00.003-06:00

So I think I am gonnna give NaBloPoMo another shot. I don't think I'm gonna do the theme for the month. I find that I often can write more and more interesting things if I am not trying to fit to a theme! Last year I participated in April and made it all the way to the 23rd before I messed up and didnt post! Hope you will join me on my journey to post everyday!

Funny Photo Friday

2008-10-03T14:56:00.003-05:00

Let me just start off by saying I got the idea to participate in Funny Photo Friday from my friend over at Under The Arch.

Now I will explain the picture. Its from a family game that we play every now and then around the winter holidays when its too cold to venture outside. Its kind of like musical chairs with a twist. We take one of the kids "Bop It" toys and pass it around all while someone is playing music on the stereo, whoever is holding the Bop It when the song stops must reach into the bag full of assorted clothing items without looking and take out an item and put it on. so I thought I would post this pic of my cousin because its just goes to show how silly we are. It starts to get real interesting after a while!

waiting impatiently......

2008-09-13T00:49:00.003-05:00

I recently applied for a new position at work. My manager interviewed me for it last night but there are 4 others who also applied for this position. Of the people I know that put in for it they would all do a good job I think. I'm just kinda nervous because I really want to get this position. I think I can be really good at it and that it would be a good experience..... So I am awaiting a response.. all of the interviews are done.. now just waitin for the answer which should come early in the week...... so I am impatiently awaiting an answer... did i mention I freakin HATE waiting? haha The fact that theres a current stressor in my life that is making me crabby has made waiting even worse... Oh well.. wish me luck!

inappropriate dreams...

2008-05-09T01:44:00.005-05:00

so what does one do when they have generally 100% inappropriate dream. i mean the kind of dream that throughout the day when it pops into your head you turn bright red with embarrassment because you feel like everyone can read your thoughts. GAH! lol or better yet when you see the person from said inappropriate dream you cant stop thinking bout the dream and then you turn bright red again because you feel like they can read your thoughts. and then they ask you why your face is red... oh bloody hell... i am in trouBLE.

T is for...

2008-04-23T23:57:00.001-05:00

TATTOOS. I don't currently have any. However I plan to get one.. hopefully in the near future. I had picked out one of a penguin but now I am leading more towards a 4leaf clover. My friends have been laughing at me cuz I have yet to get it and I have been talking about it for a couple years now. Oh well soon enough I guess.

S is for...

2008-04-22T22:00:00.002-05:00

SCHOOL... Last fall I really screwed up. I was on academic probation and then I did not get my grades back up high enough and was placed on academic suspension. So this semester I am going to the local community college and I am doing really well in all of my classes. I have 2 A's and 2 B's. Hopefully my grades will be high enough that SIUE will let me come back in the fall. I have heard that they make it difficult for people to get back in once they have been suspended, however I have been doing everything they 'say' they require for re-admittance.

R is for...

2008-04-21T14:59:00.003-05:00

RUM! haha I love rum. Especially Captain Morgan. It is one thing that I can drink and not get sick the next day! Many good memories and funny stories of mine have had rum involved..

At one point my friend Bri and I had gone to see the Amityville Horror (the remake) in the theatre. After the movie we went back to Bri's apartment where I got this brilliant idea that I should be drinking lol So I popped open a bottle of rum and started drinking. I only had 2 or 3 drinks. However, I had the strangest freaking dream that night! At one point in the dream I was being eaten alive by a TURTLE. One of the slowest freakin animals in the world! Anywho just a sample of what happens when I drink rum!

Q is for.......

2008-04-20T22:44:00.003-05:00

QUOTES... I thought I would post a few of my favorites!

"You can go to war at 18, drink at 21 and retire at 65, so how old do you have to be to know your love is real?"

"Do you ever wonder if we make the moments in our lives or if the moments in our lives make us?"

"At this moment there are six billion, five hundred and two million, eight hundred and sixty seven thousand, one hundred and twenty people in the world, give or take a few and sometimes all you need is one. For better or for worse."

now for some silly ones from some of my fave shows!

L-"You're special"

R-"Like stop eating the paste special?!"

R-"Focus Please"

L-"I am a camera"

P is for...

2008-04-19T17:54:00.003-05:00

PENGUINS! I love love love love penguins! I just think they are so cute. They are by far my favorite thing to see when visiting the zoo. Even though its freakin cold in the penguin exhibit. So for this post I thought I would post a couple pictures I took last year while at the zoo.

this was my favorite picture. it looked so sweet!

O is for....

2008-04-18T23:48:00.002-05:00

Oy with the poodles alreadY! This is just one of the many wacky things I have learned from watching Gilmore Girls over the years. They talk fast and always say something witty/quirky. It is one of my all-time favorite shows and my best friend bri and I regularly sound like we could be on the show! lol maybe its from watching it so much!

N is for......

2008-04-17T18:30:00.000-05:00

NIECES! I have three of them! They are sweet and adorable... unfortunately they all live far away so I don't get to see them very often. They are 10, 8 and 4. The two oldest I got to see last summer and the youngest I have not seen in 3 years! However, that will be changing this summer cuz my parents and I are going to see her! I was finally able to get the time off work! Gotta luv paid vacation! two of my sweet girls at the zoo!

i just love this picture! its sooo cute!

M is for...

2008-04-16T11:33:00.002-05:00

MEN! why are they so freaking annoying and irritating? gah! I mean I know there is no real answer and that its just the way they are but for crying out loud! As I have said before I work at Lowes which is primarily dominated by MEN! Most of the time its fine and it can be fun but every now and then it gets sorta frustrating. Especially when they start telling me bout the "code 10" in aisle 4 (aka hot chick in aisle 4) and I'm just like I'm sorry did you forget who you were talking to? The other night was an interesting night but I'm amazed no one got punched in the throat lol I was one of two girls working in the entire store.. And the other girl was all the way on the other side of the building. Anywho enough of my ranting about men for today!

L is for....

2008-04-15T01:10:00.003-05:00

LOWES. It just so happens to be my place of employment. I have been there almost 2 years and most of the time its a pretty good job and I like it. I work in Customer Service which I love. I've almost always got something I can be doing, most of the time more than one thing at a time. Its nice because one of the things I hate is just standing around doing nothing at work, it is so boring. At least if I am busy or have something to do it makes the time go by a lot quicker. While Cust. Serv. can be stressful and irritating at times it seems like a good fit for me. Most of the people I work with are great, since I started working there I have acquired some more pretty great friends.

K is for...

2008-04-14T00:49:00.003-05:00

KYLE.... I was having trouble thinking of a topic for the letter K. Then while talking a girl from work I was reminded of something... One afternoon my friend April and I went to the local Applebees for after work drinks. While sitting at the bar we began to notice something. There were two bartenders, a guy and a girl. At lease once or twice per minute the girl would say "Hey Kyle...". This was making us laugh because not only were they the only two workers in the bar and were standing right next to each other she said it EVERYTIME she had something to say to him. This was driving me and April quite crazy. It was so obvious by the way she acted towards him and the nervous "Hey Kyle" that she was into him. After awhile and a couple drinks we started in with the "Hey Kyle". All in all it was an entertaining afternoon..

J is for...

2008-04-13T00:53:00.000-05:00

J...

is for jealousy. One thing that I can't stand about my personality is that I can be a bit of a jealous person sometimes. I am not sure why I am this way because in all honesty I can't stand it. I hate the way it makes me feel and I definitely hate the things it makes me say and do. I'm working on it though and its getting a lot better.

I is for......

2008-04-12T00:25:00.000-05:00

I...

is for INTERESTS. I am basically like any other 21 yr old college student. I like going out with my friends, watching movies, music. I love shopping, especially for shoes and purses. Just spending time with the people I love.

H is for....

2008-04-11T00:30:00.001-05:00

H...

is for Hate.... That sounds not so great I know but I was having a hard time trying to figure out what to put. So lets talk about some things that I hate...

1) I hate when people act hypocritical or they are not trustworthy.

2) I hate the annoying high pitched noise when someone touches the Pneumatic Drills at work.

3) I hate when people tell you their whole life story when you ask a simple question.

4) I hate when someone comes to my line to check out and is on their phone and I have to ask them a question and then they get pissed at ME!

5) I hate liars.

cant think of anything else at the current moment.. this may get updated later today.

G is for........

2008-04-10T15:05:00.000-05:00

G....

is for Gilmore Girls. It is one of my all-time favorite television shows! I can't help it I just absolutely love it! Its kinda funny be because me and my best friend Bri often sound like we belong on the show... being that we both talk fast and some of the things we say occasionally. Even though the show ended last year I still watch the re-runs on television and I own all seven seasons on dvd. I am a dork I know haha!

F is for....

2008-04-09T00:05:00.001-05:00

is for FAMILY. My family is a very important part of my life. They are all a little crazy but I love them so much! My dads family lives down in Mississippi, so we usually only see them once a year. My dad's side of the family is fairly small, my dad is the only one left of his brothers and parents. There are 6 grandkids and 3 great-grandkids. Moms family all just lives within about 30-45 minutes from us. Her family is a LOT larger than dad's. There are 11 grandkids and 8 great-grandkids. My two brothers also live pretty far away. The oldest lives in Delaware and we last saw them when they came here to visit last year. My other brother lives in Florida and I haven't seen him in 3 years!

E is for......

2008-04-08T00:08:00.002-05:00

E.....

is for Emmie! She is the youngest of my three neices. She is 4 1/2. I am going to see her this summer in July for the first time in 3 years! I can't wait I am so excited!

D is for...

2008-04-07T00:03:00.005-05:00

D....
is for Dan....he is my other best friend next to Bri... he is in the Army and is currently stationed in Kandahar, in Afgahnistan. He will be gone for the next 15 months. He's only been gone a couple weeks and I miss ya already goober!

C is for.....

2008-04-06T12:21:00.000-05:00

C....

is for c**t..... while I agree this is quite a naughty word and I do not typically use it I recently heard someone say something funny about it. One of the guys I work with was complaining bout someone and he was like "shes a C u next tuesday!" Which made me laugh hysterically. I refrain from using this word but if I am extremely pissed it may slip out.

B is for....

2008-04-05T00:27:00.001-05:00

is for brothers. I have two brothers. One is my dad's son from his first marriage, and the other is my mom's son (whom my dad adopted when they married). My oldest brother's name is James Owen, he is going to be 42 years old this year. My other brother's name is James Robert, he just turned 31 years old a few weeks ago. My oldest brother lived with his mother while growing up and by the time I was born he was out living on his own.

A is for....

2008-04-04T15:06:00.001-05:00

A..

is for Amersfoort in the Netherlands. Which is where I was born. My dad was in the Air Force and that is where he was stationed when I was born. We lived there for about 8 months after I was born before my dad got moved back here to Illinois. While overseas my parents also took me to Germany, Belgium and Francem, so technically the U.S. was my fifth country I had been to. When I was just 22 days old I had gone to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Dear Guy Without a Clue,

2008-04-03T00:10:00.001-05:00

So for about 5 months or so we were "seeing" each other and hanging out. I was having a great time and you appeared to be as well. However the two of us were in different places and it became obvious that it wasn't working out. I was ready for a relationship and you had just gotten out of a serious one and were looking for fun. Well let me just say that I had fun during those 5 months. I enjoyed spending time with you. And if I had a second opportunity I wouldn't change a thing, because it was a sort of learning experience for me. I learned some things about myself and dating that I hadn't previously know/experienced. . Your need for just having fun is fine and theres nothing wrong with it. However, you were unable to come right out and say it. I am just chalking it up to a learning experience. So I just wanna say Thank You.

Sincerely,
Sarah

Dear Manipulative Ass,

2008-04-02T14:27:00.002-05:00

I let you manipulate me for quite almost 2 YEARS! I don't know why I did.. You had me completely fooled when I first met you, you were sweet and nice and funny. And when you acted like an ass, I figured hey its just a fluke thing. It seemed too good to be true... which I later discovered it in fact was. Maybe because you are so convincing and MANIPULATIVE.... I believed everything you told me the "truths" and the excuses and the but I'm sorrys. I had problems with friends because they tried to tell me you were wrong for me and that you werent a good guy. And I didn't talk to them as often because of it. A few months ago you came to me and apologized for past behaviors and lying. Recently I believed you when you said "can we still be friends", and told me how important my friendship is to you. You had me tricked for a few weeks with that one. But then your true colors showed through and I realized that you are the same person you have been for the last two years. So now I am saying NO MORE. You will not manipulate me any longer. You are not the person I thought you were. So goodbye my dear manipulative ass. Please find someone new.

Sincerely,
Sarah

Dear Ass-hat,

2008-04-01T00:00:00.002-05:00

While I enjoy recieving appreciative looks from members of the opposite sex, I find it slightly awkward to have you standing practically on top of me looking down my shirt....FREQUENTLY. I mean I understand that you are taller than I so you must look down a little when speaking to me. But face is up here buddy! lol Also I feel that there is a time and place for a guy to be that close to me however, your place of choice is not quite it. This is occuring on a regular basis, and don't feel like you are a freak, its not just you, there are numerous Ass-hats that this letter is written for. But next time I may just have to start singing when I see you standing right behind me.......

*Dont Stand, Don't stand so, Don't stand so close to me*

Sincerely,
Sarah

lets try this again...

2008-03-31T14:23:00.002-05:00

So tomorrow being April 1st marks a new opportunity to participate in Nablopomo. And I am going to give my best effort to post every day. The theme being letters, has given me a lot of ideas and I think I have something to go on. So thats a plus! The first couple are going to be letters written to people. Hopefully I can remember and keep up with it this time! Wish me luck!

bad idea...

2008-03-30T01:34:00.001-05:00

So Bri and I went and saw Stop Loss tonight. It was a good movie.. I will definitely admit that.. But probably not the best choice of film for Bri or I to see. I can't stop thinking bout Dan and worrying bout him. While it is two totally different areas and two different type of things going on between the movie and what Dan will be doing I am still now stressing the hell out. I luv ya goober.

Ohio

2008-03-29T00:01:00.000-05:00

So we recently found out where my brother and his family will be stationed when he gets back from Korea next year in May. They will be stationed at a base in Ohio. It sucks that they will not be here at Scott! However, the base is only about 5 or 5 1/2 hours away, which is MUCH closer than they are now or have been in the past. So hopefully we will get to see them more often once they get to Ohio next year.

more recent pic of me...

2008-03-28T01:17:00.006-05:00

here is the most recent pic of myself.. as you can see there is a big difference from the previous one with the family. lol

my brothers visit last summer

2008-03-28T01:04:00.007-05:00

So I've decided to post some pics from when my brother and his wife and their daughters came to visit last summer... Since I had talked about them coming to visit last year before they got here.. And just now realized I never posted any pictures.....

my brother, paige (8), sis-in-law and brooke (10)
we all went and took family pictures at the gazebo in my town. it was fun but the sun was in our eyes and most of pictures everyones eyes are shut cuz the pic was taken before we opened them or they took too long taking the pic and so we closed them lol it was an adventure lol

now one of all of us.... Jim, Cheryl, Brooke, Me, Paige, Mom and Dad

my hair has since changed back to blonde... having it that dark was just not me!

NABLOPOMO

2008-03-27T01:00:00.000-05:00

So I kind of screwed up for the month of March. I had forgotten all about Nablopomo till like 5 days into the month so then i was kinda screwed! But I am going to try to do Aprils theme.. which is Letters... trying to think of different things I can come up with for that. We will see how it goes!

update

2008-03-26T00:26:00.000-05:00

So there is basically one more month of ACTUAL classes left for this semester. So thats exciting. And I am doing really well.. Right now I've got an A in one class and B's in at least 2 of the other 3 classes. Can't wait for the semester to be over though. Who knew... Going to class is half the battle! lol

Work is going alright... I'm getting ready to work the next 7 days straight. which will suck but hopefully it wont be too bad...

Heard from Dan today.. he made it to Kandahar ok... It was a 27 hour flight! I would be going crazy being on a plane that long. But he made it alright...And he told me it will be around 130-140 degrees there this summer! HOly shit thats hot! lol

Well thats all for now... off to bed.

update on my life

2008-03-04T22:52:00.004-06:00

So I got placed on academic suspension from SIUE after the fall semester.... NOT GOOD I started this semester at SWIC and I am doing really well. Hopefully I can get my grades up enough and CONVINCE SIUE to take me back for the fall.. Wish me luck!

Work is going alright.... I'm not working TOO many hours which is good because it helps me be able to focus more on school. Which is weird cuz I am actually doing homework and studying and going to class and doing well... I just needed something to make me change my habits... unfortunately getting suspended was not what I had in mind.

Spring Break is next week......I am not going anywhere nor am I doing anything very exciting. I will be working 3 of the weekdays....

news news news!

2008-03-04T22:49:00.003-06:00

In approximately ONE MONTH we will be finding out where my brother and his family will be stationed when he comes back from Korea. AND they listed the base near us as their number one choice! so we are all crossing out fingers hoping they get it!

now he is not actually leaving for Korea until May and then will be there for a year. and then when he comes back next year in May they will move on to their new base. Hopefully here with us!

schoools out!

2007-12-15T01:33:00.000-06:00

anywho more later.........

invisible accident?

2007-11-28T22:24:00.000-06:00

So today I'm driving home from school and I get to this intersection in town where there are several cops who have stopped traffic and some guy with a long stick thingy that has a rolling green thing on the bottom...and the road is wet..... I'm like what the hell? So I call my mom cuz I knew she was out running errands...

ME: whats with all the cops?

Mom: Oh yeah there was a really bad accident in that intersection just a bit ago.

ME: REALLY? cuz I'm sitting at the stoplight and i see nothing.. What the hell, is it an invisible accident? haha

so then come to find out it had just already been cleaned up.. However some poor girl (WHO BY THE WAY HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY) got T-boned by not one BUT two vehicles at the SAME TIME! A truck hit her on one side and a van hit the other... The drivers of those vehicles were ok but the girl had to be cut out of her car... I'm not sure what kind of condition she is currently in though.

Day 5

2007-11-20T14:22:00.000-06:00

Today is day 5 of my vacation... And let me just say I have done a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING! And it is going by way too fast! Today however I am going to be cleaning and getting things straightened up and looking nice for Thanksgiving since the whole family come over here. Tomorrow is my hair appt. and frankly I can't wait! haha..

I have figured out how I'm gonna survive Thanksgiving with my family.... my dear sweet friend the Long Island Ice Tea.......... :) i realized I still have some left so hopefully that will make the day go a little smoother!

Then on Friday I am going to go shopping with Bri and her family until its time to go to work at 3! I cant wait! I did not get to go shopping last year because I had to work 9-5 but this year I dont have to work until 3 so I'm pretty excited!

how i knew santa wasn't real

2007-11-19T19:28:00.000-06:00

So the other night at Dennys Bri and I were sitting with some friends..
One of them C, says the year I found out Santa wasn't real was when I poisoned his cookies and the next morning found Grandpa dead on the living room floor!

Bri and I were talking bout this last night again and I said well ya know that wouldn't necessarily mean Santa isn't real, it just means Grandpa was a greedy bastard!

funny conversations at dennys.....

2007-11-19T19:23:00.002-06:00

just a few lil tidbits of conversations from dennys recently.. first I wanna say that Bri and I were playing Go Fish however we decided to change the name to Go Fuck Yourself.....

Bri made some snarky remark at one point and i responded with this

"Fuck you and your carriage and your merry men and your motherfucking horse!"

she laughs at me cuz one day i said fuck you and your horse AND YOUR CARRIAGE! AND YOUR MERRY MEN! She was confused as to where the hell I got merry men from i dont even know! lol

Day 3

2007-11-18T18:48:00.000-06:00

Today is the 3rd day of my vacation.... and for the most part I have been a bum! I slept in and then helped mom wrap some x-mas presents.. and then wrapped the birthday presents I got for my niece Emily since her birthday is on Thursday and we need to mail them tomorrow. As for the rest of the day I basically layed around watching Lifetime movies.. hahaa I'm pathetic.. and then I cooked dinner and baked some cookies... Now I'm off to work for a meeting.. YUCK!

vacation!

So my vacation from work and school started as of yesterdaY! and it is great! Last night I went x-mas shopping with my mom and cousin.... i bought a TON of stuff! haha it was a good thing though cuz i got a bunch of people out of the way at once...still have to buy for mom and dad and two of my neices and my grandmother, two cousins and my uncle because i drew his name for our x-mas thing... BUT i'm over halfway done x-mas shopping so that is always a plus! Tonight the whole family, aunts, uncles and cousins included are going out to dinner at Outback... that should be interesting! lol Anywhoo off to finish getting ready! thats all for now.

yay!

2007-11-05T22:38:00.000-06:00

so I found out today that I was approved for the vacation time that I requested and let me tell you I am very excited about it! not because I am going to be going anywhere or doing anything exciting....but because it is going to be my FIRST ever PAID VACATION!! hehehe I will be off Nov 16th-22nd. WOOHOO!!!!

Also on a side note I am having a Pure Romance party that I am pretty excited about! haha I had one a few months ago and it turned out to be a blast so we will see how this one goes!

Thats all for now!

visit to mississippi

2007-10-31T01:58:00.000-05:00

So i have been back from Mississippi for about a week now and let me just say it was a fantastic weekend! getting to see the part of my family i haven't seen in well over a year was great. we got there friday evening and then saturday was the big baby shower. it was an all day event haha we left at 1030 in the morning to go set up.. we held the shower at this beautiful old plantation on Pickwick Dam in Tennessee. My cousin runs the restuarant next door which is owned by the same man who owns the plantation house. My cousin and her daughter used to live on the top floor.

visiting with the family was a great time. it was good to see them all again and definitely a fantastic opportunity to get to see Charlee KAte! Can't wait till next summer to go again because then we will get to see the newest baby girl in the family, Channing.

aww! how i love this lil girl! haha Charlee is the sweetest baby ever!

randomness!

2007-10-03T02:18:00.000-05:00

So it is now the 7th week of classes and after tomorrow I will have had a test in each of my classes... However a couple of the tests and surprised me... the one i thought would be easiest turned out to be the hardest and the one i thought would be the hardest turned out to be the easiest... I think I am pretty well prepared for the one tomorrow... it is in my Criminology class.... and it I think is the most interesting of my classes....so we will see how tomorrow goes!

Work is going pretty good..... as of yesterday ( i went and talked to my zone manager and the store manager) i am now officially not moving back to home decor... i am gonna be staying up on the front and working customer service.. which is pretty much awesome cuz thats my favorite spot to work on the front! 90 percent of the time I'm doing at least 3 things at once and i enjoy that because 1) makes the time go by faster and 2) i hate just standing there doing nothing! i have been thinking bout it over the last couple months and i just decided that i think customer service is a better fit for me than home decor. so we will see how it goes! haha

i MAY be going to Mississippi in a couple weeks for my cousin Dana's baby shower and to visit with my dads family.. i havent seen them in over a year so I'm really hoping i get the time off work.. it would just be a friday thru sunday thing but at this point its better than nothing... it would be nice to get to see them and as an added bonus it would be three glorious days away from lowes!!! :) PLUS my other cousin just had a baby last Nov. whom I havent gotten to meet yet...

*my dad and Charlee Kate

funny bar stuff

2007-10-02T01:19:00.000-05:00

my friend Toni and I got done dancing and were walking back to the table to sit with Zac. When we got to the table I noticed this girl i work with M and this girl K sitting there talking to him.

ME: hey...

K: Um, hi, I'm a lesbian.... is it ok that I'm sitting here talking to him???

**Appearantly i looked scary or pissed of something but that was just bout the funniest damn thing i've heard in awhile.

school/work

2007-09-05T21:31:00.000-05:00

So the third week of school is almost over.. And I am already stressing a bit. lol Its ok though. My teachers this semester appearantly are like very kind and super on the ball... They have all handed out study guides for our first exams.... None of which are until the beginning of October... now the task is just to utilize them and properly study haha I have my first paper due next Weds. Not sure on the topic yet. I have to pick a minority group and discuss their social status and/or the way they are viewed by society... that should be interesting lol All of my classes this semester are Sociology courses.... BUT thankfully after this semester my MINOR will be complete!!! I am taking Criminology, Race and Ethnic Relations, Women Gender and Society, and Medical Sociology.....

My WG&S teacher is absolutely freakin nutS! lol There is something seriously off about that woman..... not sure what it is yet though....

Anywho all is going well thus far with school......

Still havent transferred to home decor at work yet..... as soon as we get a couple new cashiers to actually stick around longer than a week i will be moving... Or so i'm told.. haha anywho thats all for now.......

hehehehehehe

2007-08-20T23:18:00.000-05:00

(talking on the phone)

ME:...cute shoes, but you'd look like a two dollar whore....

Bri: Not just a whore? A two dollar whore?

ME: Yep, that's a poor ass whore....she don't get no biz-nass...

we need help lol

2007-08-11T18:36:00.000-05:00

so today bri and i were on the phone and heres what happened.....

ME: Hold on just a minute i have another call... *flips to other line*

Me: OK, I'm back now what were we talking about?

Bri: I have no idea..

Me: This is why we shouldnt interrupt our conversations because they are filled with brilliance and yet we are too stupid to remember it!

hahahahahahaaha

just an example.....

2007-08-09T23:36:00.000-05:00

this is just one example of the weird shit said in convos between me and bri.....

Bri: Most of the time our conversations sound kinda boring but like occasionally there is BRILLIANCE.

i laughed at her for quite awhile for that one

Randomness!!

2007-08-09T03:45:00.000-05:00

So school starts in just a lil over a week.... so that should be interesting.... I'm kinda ready for it to start back up but at the same time I'm not... I'm just ready to get back to it so I can start doing better.... kinda screwed up last semester and now I need to get back on track!

Sometime in the next few weeks I will be moving to Home Decor at work...... as soon as we get a couple more freakin cashiers... lol They told me 3 weeks ago I would be transferring so now I'm just waiting for it to happen...

Not really much else going on right now.... things have been kinda shitty lately.... hopefully they will get better within the next few weeks.....

is it too soon........

2007-08-09T03:38:00.000-05:00

my friend and i had an entertaining convo a couple weeks ago

B: do you think its too soon to change my relationship status on myspace?

Me: no, too soon would have been 5 minutes after you broke up with him...

Me: no, no wait too soon would have been 5 minutes BEFORE you broke up with him..HAHAHAA

Oy with the poodles already!

2007-07-21T22:19:00.000-05:00

haha there is one person that i know will understand that......everyone else however will be confused as all hell...... oh well! :) i tend to confuse people and i find it to be quite entertaining...so my "favorite" month out of the year is almost over....and im kinda bummed.... normally july is a lot of fun for me but this year it has kinda sucked.... i had to work on the 4th so i didnt get to fully enjoy all that fun... my good friend whom i normally go to the county fair with no longer lives here so i dont have anyone to go watch combines demolish each other with.. lol small town fun right there!BUT the good part is my birthday is only 8 days away so i am pretty excited about that...no more of this "oh damn you cant get in" bullshit.. i will finally be 21..... its not even really all bout the drinking... cuz im not a big drinker but at least then i will not have restrictions on places to go..... almost all of my friends are over 21 so it will make things a lot easier... dont get me wrong.... i fully intend to go out and get totally smashed on my birthday lol but i mean thats like a law or something lol still not sure where im going...... anyone who wants to go out is more than welcome......the shitty part my birthday being a week away however does mean that school will be starting in about a month... im having mixed emotions about that one.... i want it to start so i can actually get somewhere... but im nervous cuz i really fucked up this past semester but im excited for my chance to fix it and prove to my parents that im not a waste of money :(my friend and i had an entertaining convo yesterday.....B: do you think its too soon to change my relationship status on myspace?Me: no, too soon would have been 5 minutes after you broke up with him...Me: no, no wait too soon would have been 5 minutes BEFORE you broke up with him..HAHAHAACertain things in my life have had me very freaking confused as of late....... Not really sure where they are going or what the f*** i'm doing..... i just wanna figure it out unfortunately its just not that easy........ AAH!

Freaking wisdom teeth....

2007-07-20T13:10:00.000-05:00

So on Tuesday I got a wisdom tooth extracted..... why just one you ask? cuz my dentist is crazy... anyway I was given Tylenol with codeine for the pain... After taking 4 doses of it I woke up on Weds morning with my WHOLE face, not just the side that had been worked on, swollen and i had a rash on my belly, chest and neck, after calling the dr they said well dont take that anymore but you should be fine or at least better tomorrow...... so then thursday i woke up and the swelling in my face was worse and the rash had spread and gotten worse...so we called the doctor and they said to go to the emergeny room.........so off to the ER i went where i spent 3 or 4 hours sitting around for a whole 15-20 minutes with the dr.... i was prescribed with steroids that i am to take for the next 6 days and then hopefully all will be better.... after just a day and half of using the steroids and taking benadryl there is a noticable difference in the swelling of my face and the rash has decreased quite a bit.. so today I am going back to work... it should be interesting...

Randomness in my head....

2007-07-09T12:18:00.000-05:00

So for the most part I say whats on my mind and occasionally I dont think before the words come out or whatever lol However my friend Bri and I were just discussing the other night about the things we say and how sometimes its like we are in an episode of Gilmore Girls lol I donno I mean these weird random things just pop into my head all the time and I just kinda go with it lol Sometimes it comes out funnier than I had intended... like the other night at work for example....theres this new kid and i dont even think i know his name yet. lol
Me: yay only 2 1/2 hours till i get off!

New kid: ya oh uh um.. (stops speaking abruptly realizing i didnt want to hear 'i only have 30 min)

Me: Yeah its a good thing you shut up hahaha

New Kid: I'm sort of afriad for my life right now.

Me: You should be ***laughter*

New Kid: ok, it really scares me that you laughed when you said that.

Some people are afraid of me and I dont really understand it, however I do think its freakin hilarious! My cousin and I were just discussing that the other night, she told me about a story of her boyfriend (who is 3 times her size) running away from her one night when she was yelling cuz he thought she was gonna hit him lol And then it occured to me that I too have seen that look of fear in an ex-boyfriends eyes before....... heheheheh

2007-06-30T19:14:00.000-05:00
