Another good weekend to come!

So I've been sick the past few days. I think I may have had food poisoning. I didn't go to any classes yesterday and I may/may not go to my 12:30 class today. The other night (Tuesday), i went over to Carlie's house and hung out with her, Anna, and Carlie's two roommates, Jordan and Ashley, who are extremely cool.
The gist of it is I ended up leaving a lot later than I thought I would. I had a 9am class the next day. But when I got home and got in the bed I woke up an hour or so later and had the shakes, sweats, nausea and my stomach was tore up bad.
I feel really bad that I was irresponsible and stayed out late when I knew I had a class the next day and I don't plan on doing that again.
I am trying to plan for Spring Break but everything keeps falling through =[

But this weekend my mom and I are borrowing a friends trailer and we are going to get our new horse, Major!!! YAY! I'm soo excited! And Saturday night there is a rodeo in Columbiana that some friends want us to go to.

I am looking forward to being home for a few days, that's for sure. I have to be back for a meeting at work at 6pm...which is good since I didn't work at all this week...
I also got my new debit card! Yay! I may go by the store and open my Angels account and put some money on it since I get paid tomorrow. That will make me feel better.
Anyway,I can't wait for this weekend!

I really hate Mondays....

Ugh...today has been one of the worst days ever...

but first...a weekend recap:
Saturday was beyond awesome! I had a great time. Mom and I got around 50 books between the two of us. I can't wait to move into a bigger room so I can have a bookcase and set all my books out so they don't just collect dust in my closet. Then she and I went to IHOP and ate brunch, lol. Mom and I went took the dogs to the Quad and the pet store, then she and I went to the thrift store. I got some cool stuff. Mom left around 7:45.

Sunday, I worked from 8am-1pm. We did a brainguide, so I could wear my pajamas. We just rearranged the store pretty much. I left there with a headache. I went home and ate soup and a sandwich and slept for about an hour. I went to Mugshots with some friends then watched "Caddyshack". BEST MOVIE EVER!

This morning I went over to April's to study. We studied and played with her puppy, Zoey, who is ADORABLE. Then I had a test in Mass Com. I think I did good. I met April again to study more for Math. Our test was at 3pm. We studied our asses off and could swear up and down that we knew everything we needed to know to pass the test....
We both bombed....
And I'm really pissed at myself.
Just a bad day. Little things have been irritating me.
Then my friends tell me that they really dont want to pay to go to the beach for spring break if its just gonna be cold. i understand that but i was really looking forward to going off somewhere and just relaxing with them. My mom's been helping me by putting away some money..
Oh well...
Today royally sucked ASS....
I really hope this isn't the start of the week to come...
*Tomorrow will be better*
Keep your fingers crossed.

Later...

Goodnight, Goodnight

Anna and I went to the thrift store. I bought a few things. God, I love the thrift store. I don't buy clothes from there...but I did buy a pair of $3 saucony tennis shoes. They are very comfortable. Just got to remember to wash them before I wear them without socks =]
Made a trip to McFarland Mall. There was a bluegrass convention. It was pretty entertaining! ha!
Then we went and worked out. I hope I'm making progress. I'm so sick of what I see in the mirror after I take a shower.
Mom's coming down in the morning! I can't wait! And I found out April is as big a bargain shopper as I am! YAY! =]
Watched Bull Durham. Well, I watched most of it....lots of cussing and sex. Made in 1988...lol

Can't wait til the book sale
And to see my puppies!! Tomorrow is gonna be awesome

Later =]

Finally Friday

So, it's a little chilly outside, but an all around gorgeous day.
Becky brought me a chicken biscuit from Chick-Fil-A so that was really nice. Got my day started off right. My room was freezing this morning cause I slept with the window open.
Well, I thought that I lost the assignment I did for Creative Writing. It was suppose to be our opinion and response to one of the stories we discussed in class. I was just finished writing it yesterday when Carlie and Anna came out of no where and scared the crap out of me. But I found it. How lucky am I?!
I'm really excited about the book sale tomorrow. Mom's coming down at 8am so we can get there early. Mom and I are going to go visit with Brad, my best guy friend.
I miss Brad. I don't get to hang out with him and Fran as much as I'd like. He and I have been friends since high school. He's awesome. And Fran is like, one of the coolest people I've ever met. I really hope she's one of those people I am able to keep in touch with for the rest of my life.
Becky's going home this weekend so mom's bringing the dogs down. Oh I missed Lexi! Maybe I'll be able to take some new pictures of her and Charlie (my mom's poodle) and post them.
April and I are going to meet later and study for our math 110 test that's Monday. I really hope I do better on this one than I did the first one.
We talked about sex and music in MC 101 today. It was really entertaining listening to my (very white) teacher try and read lyrics from rap songs. He cracks me up!
Anyway, gotta go for now!

Later! =]

Gorgeous Sunshine

I was sooo mad last night. I could NOT get the upstairs to cool down...the thermostat was reading 77 degrees and it wasn't even COLD outside! Well, it was chilly, but not cold cold. Oh, btw, I live in a townhouse. There's a thermostat upstairs and downstairs. I tried explaining to my roommate that heat rises and if she sets the thermostat downstairs on 74, the heat is gonna rise and make upstairs unbearable. We tried turning the upstairs unit off and not using it, but that's when it got HOT! It was soo hot and stuffy upstairs that I took the comforter off my bed and slept with just a sheet and a blanket. I was sweating. It was unreal.
I also turned the downstairs thermostat down to 69 hoping it would cool off upstairs. And it did. I woke up this morning and it was 68 upstairs. Now, that was a little cooler than I was hoping for but I'll take that as opposed to 77...
My roommate came in yesterday and was saying that it was colder in the house than it was outside and I said, "have you been upstairs?"
I got so pissed that the upstairs thermostat wasn't doing its job. And that she kept putting it on heat. I swear if our heat bill is high I'm not paying it....

Anyway, that was my rant for the day. I've got to work tonight and although I don't want to work until 10pm, I need the money, haha. My mom is coming down for the booksale at the "Friends of Books" bookstore by the Tuscaloosa Library. It's looking like it will be a good weekend.
My friend, Anna and I were going to go to a yoga class at the rec last night but she decided she was too hungry to do yoga and my stomach was hurting. Probably from the chinese I'd eaten that afternoon. So no yoga for us. Now she owes me =]
She and Carlie scared the shit out of me this afternoon when they came to find me in the library. We ate lunch at the Ferg and now I'm just hanging out at home until work at 4pm.

It feels so great outside today. A little cool, but gorgeous. I love gorgeous days. I wish I didn't have to go to work, otherwise I'd be out on the Quad on a blanket just reading or doing homework or something. I am glad I don't have to work Saturday so I can spend time with my mom. One of my favorite things to do.

Carlie was telling me about her cousing this afternoon. She tutors her a few times a week. She was telling me and Anna how bratty her cousin has become. She's 14. Self-explanatory. When I have kids, I better not find out my kids act like that.
As random as that was....

Well, I'm gonna get to work on some homework before work...ha!
Once again, wrote a lot more than I'd planned.

A Little More

So I got like, 5 or 6 books for Christmas or around that time. I always finish reading one book first before I start another one. I've never read more than one book at a time because I like to focus my attention on one story line at a time.
I just recently finished Cross Country by James Patterson. I got it for Christmas and I really liked it.
I really enjoy reading James Patterson and Harlan Coben. They are definitely my favorite male writers. As far as female, definitely Stephanie Meyer. I have a few books by Jodi Picoult. I haven't read either of them yet, but they are on my list. I'm currently reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, which i started yesterday. You almost need a dictionary to read it. If I read carefully, it's not too difficult. I'm enjoying reading it so far and I think I understand how the story is being told.
Reading as many books as possible helps me to be a better writer as well.

Anyway, another passion of mine is music. From new age country, to rap, to alternative, to swing music. It really doesn't matter as long as I like the beat of the song. I recently read a review of The Fray's new CD in the Crimson White (CW). Whoever was reviewing it didn't give it a very high rating, but I personally love The Fray. Currently, I'm hooked on The Fray's song "You Found Me", and Nickelback's new songs "Never Gonna Be Alone", "I'd Come For You", and "If Today Was Your Last Day".
I love the music in all those songs. I love thought-provoking songs more than anything else. Oh, I also love Saving Abel's song "18 Days". I highly recommend it. =]

Anyway, I'm sure I'll post pictures of my life soon. Esp our new horse, Major. I have some pictures of when my mom and I went to go see him in Winfield, AL. And since I'm already majorly addicted to Blogger, I'm sure it won't be long before they are posted.

Another Rainy Wednesday

This is my first post, thanks to April! I definitely have to give her a hand in completely addicting me to Blogger. First Myspace, then Facebook, now Blogger. Who knows what's next. =]

Well, let me tell a little about myself in case anyone wants to follow my blog. I'm a sophomore at UA, soon to be a junior. I transferred from Jeff State in Birmingham, Al. I worked my tail off so i could be at UA with my friends.
Anyway, I am majoring in Advertising, which i finally decided on after about 6 or 7 major changes. I am content with life for the most part. I work at Victoria's Secret and I love it too! I'm still learning everything that goes along with the job and so far I don't plan on working anywhere else.
I am pretty much best friends with my mom. She and I are very close. I confide in her a lot of times when I have a problem or issue. They are by far in the top 4 of the most important people in my life, # being my friends and #3 being my grandfather and #4 being my step-dad. That list goes on and on to include my friends and family who have been there for me through whatever comes my way and I love them all for that.
I have 3 dogs and 2 (soon to be 3) horses. I got Lexi, my maltipoo, last Christmas, and I love her to death. My mom got her poodle, Charlie, at the same time. They are a hoot together. We also have a chow/lab mix named Bruno (aka Pookie) who is nearly 10years old now. My mom and I have two horses, Breezy, who is 19, and Magic, who is 8. We are about to buy another horse and we are going to call him Major for short. His registered name is Mississippi MoonCat. Anyone who knows anything about naming and registering horses knows his awkward registered name comes from his bloodline and his parents name. He's not quite a year old yet. We want to breed and raise horses to sell and we've been working toward that for a long time. Hopefully our hard work will pay off soon.
I love to read and write, especially short stories and poetry. I love to read poetry and pretty much any books I can get my hands on. I've read all the Twilight series books and am completely addicted to Edward Cullen (sorry Gary, I still love you).
As of right now, I can't wait for Spring Break, no matter what I end up doing. Also, be sure to check out my best friend, Carlie's blog. She has a Pampered Chef website and blog that sells professional cookware at pretty affordable prices. I'm looking forward to helping her advertise her catalog parties. They are a lot of fun, so if anyone has any interest, be sure to check out her blogspot at:

www.chefcarlie.blogspot.com

Or her Pampered Chef website at:
www.pamperedchef.biz/cookingwithcarlie

Until next time, I can say I'm now happily a part of the Blogger community!
