hey there...

I am posting this blog from my brand new super cute pink laptop! I just got it today and I am so excited. I have been messing with it since I got home from work and I am completely out of my league, but I'll figure it out eventually. Not a lot has been going on. I went to a bbq at my sister Sam's house on Saturday. Some of my family and a few friends were there and it was a pretty good time. We had some good food and hung out. On Sunday I sat around the house all day. I was sitting on the couch when all the sudden I had the worst spasm in my back and I felt like I could hardly breathe because of it. It didn't go away for a few hours. Then yesterday it came back when I got to work and I almost died. I took 2 muscle relaxers and it didn't even go away. It just finally went away this afternoon after I'd been wearing an icy hot patch on it all day. I swear I don't know what causes it, but it is a killer. My back feels like it's bruised when I touch it now. I had my first class of the semester last night. It was Art Appreciation and I'm not so sure about it. I had to work with a group last night and I'm not sure they like me. I had to take charge because no one else would and I think they didn't like me much. I don't care though...I got us an A on our assignment. I am a little nervous to see how it will go. I am also a little nervous about my math class. It seems hard (mostly because I am so not good at math) and I'm going to have to bust ass to get a good grade in it. As a matter of fact I should be doing my homework right now. I just had to post a blog though...I've been doing so good. I know nothing interesting happens in my life to blog about, but hey...whatever. Tomorrow I have Art Appreciation again and on Thursday I have the Psychology of Dreams...I am really excited about that one. I love looking up what my dreams mean and now I will have a better understanding of them...I hope. Well I guess that's about it...

Wednesdays Suck...

and the 3 days that come before it. I can tolerate Thursday (because Friday is coming), and I mean who doesn't like Friday? Of course I love the weekend (except Sunday because I know I have to go back to work), but I hate getting to Thursday. I guess basically I only like Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! I am very tired this morning and as I type this I am sucking down a sugar free red bull. Hopefully it will help me wake up enough to get some work done. So remember when I was talking about the laptop I was getting? Well the other day Garrett (the guy getting me the laptop) came to talk to me about which one I wanted and Neal (my boss) was standing there. He asked why I need a laptop and I told him I need one for school so he decided that he was going to buy me one as my bonus and now I get a pink one! I am really excited. It shipped yesterday so it should be here soon. Other than that there isn't a lot going on with me. I spent the weekend just hanging out. On Saturday I went to the movies and took a nap...exciting I know! Saturday night I was so bored I ended up watching football and the Olympics. I know...that's not unusual for a normal person, but I have a rule about not running and not watching other people run either...and I was watching the women's marathon! 2 hrs. of women just running. Since I don't have cable I had to switch between those two things...and occasionally I would stop on the home shopping network lol. Sunday I just did laundry all day. I know...I'm pathetic! Well now that I've bored everyone with my life...see ya!

Sigh...

I'm tired. I am also relieved because I had to go to the doctor for my annual today and I freaking hate it! I always get so nervous and I can't calm down. I was seriously sitting there trying to fill out some paperwork and my hands were shaking so bad I wonder if they were even able to read my handwriting. lol After my appointment I went over to Jessica's house to hang out because I had taken the day off of work and we took the kids to the mall. I managed to spend and obscene amount of money in like 10 minutes...big surprise! I took yesterday off too and I spent the day at Jessica's house swimming and being lazy. I have to go to work tomorrow which makes me a little sad, but I'm happy too because I go stir crazy when I don't have anything to do. I don't have any big plans for the weekend...except catching up on laundry. I have massive mounds of laundry that need to be done. Classes start in just over a week and I'm half excited half nervous. I always get nervous and I'm not sure why. I asked one of the guys I work with if he could get me a laptop for school and I would just pay the company back for it and he said he would. Hopefully it will be ready by the time school starts. I always wanted one because it makes everything much easier so I'll be really happy when I finally get one. Well I guess that's all that's going on.

panic @ the disco

I am getting ready to buy tickets to see panic at the disco, dashboard confessional, and plain white t's at the hard rock in October. I am really excited. I haven't been to a concert in such a long time and I really like all 3 of those bands. I am also excited because I have a $50 gift certificate for ticketmaster that I got at our company x-mas party last year so I will only really have to pay for 1 ticket...which is awesome. I have no idea who I'm going to take with me, but I figure I have a while to figure it out since it's not until October. The only down side to the whole thing is that the concert is on a Thursday night, which kind of sucks, but I'll live. I am so happy it's Friday...I am so tired. I am driving to Alamo tomorrow with Jessica to go to my friends grandpa's funeral. I feel really bad for their whole family, but he was really sick so in some ways it's a blessing. Other than that I don't have any plans for the weekend.

we made it....

home without killing each other. Our trip to San Diego was a success for the most part. Of course there was complaining and irritation, but how do you go on a family trip without those things? We had a good time at Sea World. Jaidyn got to have breakfast with Elmo and she loved it. Colin just hung out in his stroller and watched everyone (which seemed to be ok with him). We saw Shamu and the dolphin show and had a lot of fun. We were so tired when we got to San Diego that we didn't do anything Friday night. After Sea World on Saturday we were again tired, and also sunburned so we just hung out in the hotel. We woke up really early on Sunday to drive back. We drove straight through to Baker and then we stopped for some lunch. We made it home around 1 or so which left plenty of time for Andrea, mom, and grandma to get home and so whatever they needed to get done. I was super excited because my new book (Breaking Dawn??) came out on Friday night so I went straight to the bookstore from Jessica's house when we got back yesterday. I got my book and read all the way until it was time to go to bed. I only got about 360 pages read, but I think I can finish it tonight if I try. I really didn't want to put it down to go to bed last night, but I was so tired I had to. I brought Samantha a stuffed animal from Sea World since she wasn't able to go with us..it is the cutest little otter or seal or something lol and I almost don't want to give it to her because it is so cute. I know that's terrible (and I got myself a stuffed Shamu so it's not like I don't have something soft and cuddly), but I can't help it. I was laughing really hard at myself because Friday Sam called me to ask me about a purse she wanted to buy and I was really jealous of her purse purchase because I want a new purse really bad. So anyways, Friday night I dreamt about purses! I've never done something like that before, but I had a dream that I found this purse I wanted and I was asking the sales girl how much it cost and telling her that I wanted it because Sam had gotten a new purse and I was sad. I know...I'm odd! Well I guess that's about all I have to say for now.
