Today marked the 6 month anniversary for my boyfriend and I. What a great thing to celebrate, except for the fact that I felt crappy all day.
5 years ago yesterday our family lost a great man. My Uncle Buddy passed away from cancer. It was such a sad time for our family and I feel like the family has never really healed from it and honestly never will. I know that I will always miss him and his antics, our talks and mostly the advice. I hope that he is in heaven enjoying seeing the accomplishments our family has made, but also to see some other things going on too.
I am already counting down to the week end. We are having a superbowl party. Should be fun, no matter who shows up. I am excited to have people over and to enjoy spending time with friends.
Tonight I am shopping for a Kindle. I am excited with the thought that I might be getting one, but also not sure what to expect.

Math... and all that jazz
I will never understand why the one subject that I cry over gives me the worst professors ever. I also do not understand why the definition of deadline had to be emailed to me today, but that lady needs to get a serious grip on reality! I am not behind, actually my homework is not due for nearly 48 more hours and I dont know why she made a big deal out of wanting everyone to be so ahead. That class is not easy to get ahead in, so she needs to just chill for sure.
We survived the flu... 2 bottles of Thera-Flu cough syrup, doses of Benadryl for itchy throats, Lysol for germy door handles and other things, cuddle time from a very lonely Shepherd and a lot of check in phone calls later.... we are well and lived through another adventure. I never thought I would be so happy to see the outside world. This was also my first time being that sick away from home and honestly I missed my Mom. It was nice to go home last night to my parents and get a few things accomplished there, but also nice to come back here too. Its hard to be torn like that.
I have a lot of work to finish before Sunday at Midnight including a Literature pre-test, Sociology test on the first 4 chapters and I could possibly get a draft of my Literature paper out for 2% extra credit. I dont know if that will happen or not. Also have a math homework and a half to finish and a quiz in that. God forbid its a minute late, even with being sick all week.
Next week end is the Superbowl and our much awaited and anticipated party. I am excited, but know theres a lot to be done before we can have people over and before it can be a success.
Much love to my followers, and hopefully these posts havent bored you all senseless.

Oh No.... Not Today.... Not Ever!!!
So I go to sleep last night with the thought and prayer that I would not wake up sick today.... well guess what. Sick... both of us sick. I am not believing this. This is too much with the fever, upset stomach, cough and sore throat. BLAH!!!!
I am waiting for my sociology discussion topic for this week. Hopefully it gets uploaded soon because Im tired of waiting, but then again do not feel like doing much anyway.
Today I put a roast in the crock pot and hoping that the flour I added will make a decent sauce. I dont know what we will have with it, but it wont be much considering I just dont feel like cooking. Thank God again for the crock pot.
Im watching Hoarders and this show makes me sick, yet I still watch it. I cant believe some of the things people collect. Last night on this same show a woman had dead chickens in her garage... A man was living with over 1000 rats, which began as 2 rats. I was very shocked, and more grossed out.
Supposing I feel better tomorrow I will be going back to Mom and Dads, but if not I might be right here for awhile. I am not going to risk getting anyone else sick and have already sent some warning texts for people to stay away!
Its naptime here and time to close this for now.

The O.C. Reruns and Wireless Internet....
So on this Friday I find myself sitting on the couch under a nice warm quilt after loving on my favorite German Shepherd and watching reruns of The O.C. I do not know why and never will why I enjoy this show so much, even though when it premiered I did not care for it.
Now its Rachael Ray time... I should be working on some homework, but I just do not feel motivated to do that. I feel that being ahead this week has allowed me to be able to focus on other things that are important to me.
Tonight Im going to bingo with Patrick and his Mom. Hopefully I will win something since I won $125 last time.
I am really out of things to type about. Will try to have something more interesting to say this week end.

A Different Attitude....
After my post earlier today I realized that I was just complaining for no good reason. I didnt have a real reason to be in a bad mood, it was just there.
I got out of bed and started going through my clothes. I already have 2 trash bags of things to take to Goodwill and will be adding to that when I go through the others.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day considering I have to sit in court in the morning with Dad to make sure he gets a fair trial against this cop that wrote him a running a red light ticket. I am not too pleased with that since the law code says that pretty much there has to be 100% proof the light was red and it was yellow when he proceeded through the intersection.
I am excited to have an American Idol date tomorrow night... sad to say I dont remember if I mentioned that in my earlier post.
Teen Mom 2 tonight made me so sad for Leah. I feel bad for her and Corey. Their baby looks to have a long road ahead of her.
I took a nap tonight and now Im not sure if I will be able to go back to sleep any time soon. This might be a long night.....

Checking Out, and I dont mean books
Sometimes I will admit to getting really overwelmed. Things like money, bills, homework and life just get a little too hectic for me to deal with. So, to use the term I just heard on Dr. Phil... I check out. I guess its just how I cope.
Today I have checked out. I feel like I just need some time to regroup and deal with things and not do anything at all, but I know its a lazy way to be.
I should be going through this massive amount of clothes I have and getting rid of stuff, but my motivation is negative. I absolutely do not feel like doing anything, although I know eventually I will make myself get out of bed and start working on it, even if its just for a few minutes.
This week has been full of a lot of eye opening things and its only Tuesday. I do not know what the rest has in store and maybe I do not want to know.
On a plus note, I am done all of my homework until the 30th, which is a rare occurance. I dont know how it happened, but it did and Im not going to question it. My intentions are to stay ahead so that I can have some time to do other things as the semester moves on.
In other news... well there is no other news. I am not even really motivated to update this and would rather just take a nap............

A Change Will Do You Good
This week end was so full of change. I feel like I not only grew up a little more, but I also managed to realize that I KNOW Im in the right place. No details needed, but thats just how it is.
I went back to do some more coupon shopping this week end. It was awesome and in 2 trips I saved like $70! I spent less than $20! Its a great feeling to know I can not only provide things for myself, but also things for other people. Todays trip included 4 free packs of Orbit gum, just because I love them so much and a hands free Lysol soap dispenser that has made its new home in the kitchen. Apparently its "the shit."
I have spent the week end in good company with many laughs, although some were after a few very big tears. It feels good to know Im starting a new semester of school in great spirits and ready for about anything that it has to throw at me.
As for school, I have done everything but my math homework which is due next Sunday. An awesome feeling for sure. This weeks assignments included writing some boring as usual discussion boards about myself, an English paper about Christians watching too much TV and not reading enough Bible, a Sociology paper about organizations helping others and families and some boring reading and videos. If the entire semester goes this smoothly I will look back thankful for all of its rewards.
Today I made crock pot BBQ ribs. They turned out well and everyone had a good dinner. I am also fortunate for the crock pot. It has made some awesome meals without costing a lot because I can throw about any meat in there and it cooks into something tender and yummy. I baked some potatoes in the microwave and warmed up some corn... and there was dinner.
Tomorrow I leave here to go back to Mom & Dads with the promise that I am going to go through my closet and get rid of things I no longer need or want. I want to be more organized this year and thats the only way I can do it. Also I will more than likely be bringing more clothes here. Im tired of wearing the same ones over and over.
I am off now to finish watching a movie and then hitting the bed. Course checklists are due in the morning and hopefully they will be open at midnight so I can just finish those and be finished with everything. I have 1 more chapter to read in Sociology that I keep putting off because the book is pretty boring so far, but its only a few pages and I forgot to mention it earlier in this post.
Anyway.... to all of my followers, some advice; if crying a tear or two brings closure to some things in your life, cry away.... you might not feel better right away, but believe me in the end you will be a bigger and better person. Wow... I feel like the end of a Run's House episode....
