Wow, look at the time!

So I am currently sprawled out over my bed typing away on my laptop at three minutes to 5 AM. Why you ask? Well, I will tell you why. I have a huge research assignment which is also our final grade for my computers class and since my computers class ends this Wednesday, I have to get this baby done. I chose to do my assignment on Clara Barton because I really wanted to pick a woman who I considered influential. Not only is she inspiring to nurses but also to teachers as Clara was a teacher before she ever was a nurse. She often found herself working for little to no pay in the poorest of areas just to be able to educate and reach out to those children that were less fortunate. That is very inspiring to me.

So I’ve decided to take a break from my research paper for the night and since I had my laptop out, I thought I’d blog for once. I still have not got a new monitor but I might do that tomorrow. I had to wash all my clothes and tidy up my room before I decided to do anything else this weekend. I also really want to get this paper done so I can be lazy all Spring Break. Yes, the week of the 16th is Spring Break for me. I am so excited. Hopefully I will get to spend some time with the loverboy. We spent last Thursday night through Tuesday night and it actually went a lot better than I thought. You see, I get tired of people. No idea why but I tend to be a moody little pain in the ass. Well with him, I didn’t get annoyed with him or tired of him, I generally liked spending all of that time with him which says a lot since I was on my period!

On the whole Prozac front, I’m still feeling a lot better. I think that I didn’t need medicine originally because the medicine really made me feel awful and have a lot of horrible thoughts. I was even having suicidal thoughts at one point and after those thoughts I had to go off the medicine. I love my life and for me to feel that bad, something had to change. My mom has also noticed I’m not as moody now that I’m off of it and I’m generally a lot happier. Hell, even the boyfriend noticed my stableness. So I am happy to be me and actually feel like I am me. It’s like a brain fog has finally been lifted and I can see clearly now.

Since it is after 5 AM now, I think it’s a given I should take my happy butt to bed. The rest of my research paper will be a breeze since I’m now to the point where Clara starts the Red Cross and all that jazz. So I got smooth sailing from here on out on the research paper and I can do my Power Point presentation in class. Hooray. I am excited to have a 4.0 in that class since he only accepts 100′s. Lol. Also, I found out some interesting news on the financial aid front from my college thanks to the fact I can file independent. Hoorah! I need that money big time and now I am not in fear of having to quit college due to money problems. Okay, enough jabbering, I’m off to bed. So until next time, later gators!! I’ll put my new theme up after my paper is done as well.

Blah

Yes, it’s been forever and a day since I’ve last blogged. My bad. I’ve been super busy with school and I’ve been down in the dumps thanks to Prozac. Now I’m Prozac free and happy. Yay me. Lol.

I will change themes and update my blog regularly again as soon as I get a new monitor. My monitor decided to blow up and the temp one is only 15 inches which is teenie tiny compared to my old 19 inch one. So until next time, later lovelies!

Slow down Christmas!!

Today and yesterday have been so hectic it’s not even funny. I am fully stressed and worried I won’t get everything done in time for our dinner tomorrow and not to mention get all the presents wrapped. I still have to wrap Rans’ presents for Pete’s sake!!

Yesterday morning we left around 10:30 AM and ran to Wal-Mart to pick up some last minute gifts, wrapping supplies, and also got some pictures printed off. I got the pictures of me and Rans from our trip to Atlanta when we went to the hockey game with my sister and Mary. They turned out pretty good. After Wal-Mart we had to rush home, unload my car, and then head to get everyone’s haircut. Of course me and my mom got our color redone. Yes, my hair gets dyed a slightly lighter shade than what it usually is. Basically it’s got some copper tones and it brings out my natural highlights a lot better. I love it. My younger sisters and brothers both got their haircuts as well. So all in all at least everyone’s hair will be looking good for Christmas. Lol. After haircuts, we stopped by Sonic, picked up some dinner, and then headed to Fashion Bug because I was in search of a new bra since my favorite one got ate by the washer. I also got some cute socks to go with my Sperry’s. After Fashion Bug, we had to run out to the mall so I could get Rans’ present. It was pretty expensive but so worth it. Then after the mall we stopped by the Honeybaked Ham store to pick up a ham and turkey breast. I love their ham, it’s so good. After that we finally headed home and ate dinner. We didn’t get home until 7 PM and we had to wait on Beth to get home so we could leave again. My step-dad ended up calling before we left so Beth picked him up and we finally headed back to Wal-Mart around 11 PM. We did not get home, get everything unpacked, and ready for bed until 3 AM. I was so tired.

This morning I thought I was going to die. Every muscle and bone in my body hurt like crazy. I think my body was definitely telling me I over did it. I didn’t mean to but things had to get done. Today I’ve spent the whole day cooking and cleaning up the house while washing loads of laundry. We have to be at my aunt’s by 5:30 PM and then we’re headed to church for the Christmas service. At least we are supposed to. A little while ago we got a call telling us that my step-dad’s Uncle Edward died. That is really sad to lose a loved one, especially during the holidays ya know. My step-dad is really tore up. I don’t even think he’s going to go to my aunt’s with us. I don’t blame him for wanting to have some time to himself. I’d be the same way. After my aunt’s house and church we have a crap load of wrapping to do. I still have not wrapped Rans’ presents or any other gifts I got everyone. Ugh, I hate being so behind and unorganized. I am not the neatest person but I freak out when I have a long to-do list and feel like everything is unorganized.

Tomorrow morning after everyone opens presents we plan on eating cinnamon and orange rolls while getting the house ready for our dinner. Between breakfast and lunch/dinner I need to run to my dad’s and exchange gifts there. After my dad’s me and Rans are supposed to come back here, eat, and then leave for his house. I’m not sure what we’re going to do at his house. I think we might exchange gifts. I don’t care, I’m just happy to spend our first Christmas together!

I find myself having a strong urge to just be around my family right now. With all that’s going on with my dad and the drama my brother is going through, I just want to be with everyone and feel all safe for once. I just am scared what 2009 holds for my family. I hate thinking about the what-if’s. I’m just going to put my faith in God and trust him to take care of my family and me. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!! Merry Christmas everyone!! So until next time, later gators.

I feel so .. violated!

I have seriously had the worst day ever. I’m having horrible cramps and I felt sick to my stomach all day but I didn’t let that bring me down. No, I got up and dressed and was headed to Cartersville to Target to get some shopping done. I was going with my sister Beth since she needed to do some shopping as well. Needless to say, the Target trip was a bust. I didn’t find anything of interest except some Fiji water. Heh, I love that stuff.

Upon checking out, I looked down and noticed my cell phone was missing. Beth called my phone and it went straight to voice mail. I knew that was funny because I had just charged my phone earlier. So since it wasn’t working, Beth went back and looked around the store to where I was trying on shoes since that’s where we last remembered me having it for sure. It wasn’t there so we both split up and looked down every aisle we had been on. We also got this woman to page her “team workers” and ask them to look for it as well. Also, the rent-a-cop scanned the store as well. My cell phone was nowhere to be found and obviously someone took it and planned on keeping it since they turned it off. At least they weren’t using it I suppose. It just sucks because I had pictures on there from vacation and personal text messages that were sentimental between Rans and I. That really unnerves me. You have no idea.

After searching for my cell phone with no luck, I headed to the Verizon store nearby to find out what I could do about it. They suspended my phone and I had to call our insurance. Thank God for insurance because I only had to pay a $50 deductible instead of $410 to get a brand new Voyager! After talking to the insurance dude I discovered they don’t make my type of Voyager anymore and he wanted to make sure that the new Titanium Voyager would be an acceptable replacement. Why thank you sir, I do love silver. So I get my new phone on Tuesday. I am upset and I do feel violated that someone stole my phone but I am not going to let it tear my world apart. I did feel like crying in Target though. I was mainly upset about the things I lost like ring tones, pictures, and text messages. Those are things I can’t get back but I can take new pictures and download new tones I suppose. I’m just glad I will be having a phone by Tuesday! I just still can’t believe someone stole my phone though. I’ve never had anything of mine stolen before. It’s an awful feeling.

I just had to get all of that off of my chest. I will blog and post some pictures of my trip with Mary. It was fun going to the hockey game and experiencing it for the first time. It was also cool going to the airport! I do miss my best friend though. We had a lot of fun and I look forward to July when she’s coming back down here! I guess I will have to rely on Rans to cheer me up. Lucky for me he’s spending Christmas Eve here and on Christmas Day we’re going to go to his house and exchange gifts. I hope he likes what all I got him. I also will post a picture up of the two of us. We took some pictures while we were in Atlanta. Anyways, I’m going to go finish watching my Hallmark movie and try to take my mind off of my phone situation. I guess whoever took it needed it more than I did. So until next time, later gators.

Nothing like the run around

I just got off the phone with both Highlands and Coosa Valley. Basically, all my information has not been processed yet and they did not receive my college transcripts yet. Well, after hearing that, I called Coosa Valley. Per the lady I talked with which I know, my transcripts were sent the 3rd of December. Highlands should have received them then because both places are in the same town. My application was received the very next day.

I’m going to try to not even stress about all of this. I’m tired of being stressed. In fact, I was so freaking out over the weekend I gave myself hives I think. I have been itching like crazy to the point you can see claw marks all over my arms and stomach from where I’ve scratched. I can’t stand this. I seriously hate being stressed out and obviously be being stressed is not helping anything so it’s time to calm down.

Tonight is Selena’s Christmas program at her school. I swear I know all the kids’ lines by now thanks to her. She repeats them over and over. She is so excited and she was upset because I was supposed to get my tires aligned on my car but if I did that I wouldn’t be here to help her get ready. I guess the tires can wait until tomorrow because I am not dealing with the wrath of an 8 year old. I need to go to the store and pick up some groceries as well. Rans will be here tomorrow night and then we both are going to pick Mary up Wednesday. I’m so excited!! So I need to get going and take a shower. So until next time, later gators.
