study times

ok..so just some of the randomness that occurs during study time....

Bree's latest thought process

Tangerine, which reminds me of clementine which reminds me of eternal sunshine of the spotless mind which reminds me of jim carry which by the way do you know who he's dating now??
ITs not carmen electra but it makes me think of her...
look it up...oh jenny mcarthy right?

Wow...seriously...all that while studying for neuro....


p.s. Tracy leaves traces.....

more to come i'm sure

long busy week

So my blog has been seriously neglected this week due to 2 exams and several assignments which have basically made this week miserable!!

I'm currently in the cybercafe waiting on the printer so i can print nancy's notes...and my progress note that is due in like two hours...when i get done with it...oops

then there's lab...which i'm sure will prove to be quite interesting...followed by an adventure to find a wonderfully delicious cup of coffee that will stimulate me and make me oh so excited to "begin"...yes i did say begin to study psych for our exam tomorrow..wow...seriously....all you people planning to get up in the morning i'm pretty mad at you!! Cause i will be up doing it tonight since i'll be heading to camp in the a.m....i do love camp..i'll definately have to blog about that later!

and oh....hello...Toni had the camera!! yes for getting my camera back..and I even put the pics up real quick!!

Ok..i have been found out because Giraffe and shell-dawg just came by...they r twinkies today btw...and caught me blogging..gotta go print!! woohoo....


Gene's thurs after class are ya with me??

suspenseful i know

Ok so...i until i locate the camera i have stolen one of Katy's photos....

And Brian Lenger's is a PUNK!! He told me my camera was at the bottom of the pool!! PunK!

camera investigation update

ok..so i just talked to Brian (not cara's brian..or class brian...but the other brian)...who had got my number from Christina. He says last time he had my camera he either handed it to me or Seth. I'm pretty sure I've talked to Seth and he doesn't have it...So i'm thinking the only likely explanation is that its somewhere in Bree's apartment. I think my detective skills are pretty lousy :-P...but i'm still workin' on it!

camera blues...

Ok..so i fully intend to blog about Friday...which was quite the eventful day....however at the moment i'm sad bc I don't know what happened to my camera which has lots of fun pictures on it!!
So...when I find the camera...i'll update....ne ideas??

I'm addicted to Law & Order..... really....

where did the fun weekend go?

Ok so this weekend was so much fun...the day or so has made me wish that I was back in the middle of the fun weekend and not here where things seem to be not so fun right now :-/

So I left Friday morning and went for about a 3 hour drive (which was quite pleasant) to Sunset beach to meet the parents. WHen I called they were already at Captain Nance's Seafood in Calabash where I met them and ate some really good shrimp!
We left straight from there to go on a Dolphin Adventure!! Haha...it was a very nice lil boat ride out to the ocean to see a shrimp boat, LOTS of birds, and some dolphins.




















So i tried to catch the dolphins on film..but it was hard....i'm not a very good boat riding photographer! All I got was the boat! hhaha...oh and a video


So after a very eventful dolphin adventure where i made a new friend named ANDY who was VERY young..and my parents laughed...a lot...we headed to the outlets to do some shoppin'! Then once we wore ourselves out doing that...we went to Carrabas! However, there was like a thirty min wait before they would seat us so we took our little buzzer next door to a WING's store and did a lil shoppin'..where of course there was a little mischief...my parents are so funny..i got them to do all kindsa crazy stuff....

























Aren't they cute?? I love Dad holding the Barbie! haha..its great
And then..I found a hottie and got mom to take my picture with him....while Dad stood guard!









After the exciting adventures at WINGS we ate at carrabas and went to Target for more fun times! :-P Mom and I hit the dollar stuff inside the door and I met this woman and little girl who had found the Napoleon Dynamite stash!! So I got prizes for some napoleon dynamite fans I know! ( I got to bring em today .....ask me about them if i forget!!) Then when Dad finally got us out of there Mom and I had to pose with one of the big read balls :-P









We were pretty much worn out by then so we went back and passed out in front of James bond.....
Then on the way home we stopped at the calabash creamery for some ice-cream..I got Birthday cake of course!!
Then I had a small photo shoot with the cows....for the "cows as still life" art project.






















Then the next day Mom and Dad got up and went for a walk on the beach while I slept in :-) and then we went for more shoppin' at the mall...and this time..i know its going to be hard to believe but i bout a DreSs!! I know right...i basically hate dresses but mom said i looked like reese witherspoon..i was going for kelly rippa...I know i prolly look silly but i got it...so when ya'll see it ya'll can laugh at me..don't have a pic of that yet :-P Then I went and got More ICECREAM...birthday cake with cookie dough in it yum!
THen we went to see cars....and my favorite character was Mater...i love that truck....dagum!
"I'm happier n a tornado n a trailer park!"




After the movie we tried to find a Japanese steakhouse because everyone was STARVING!! However the first place we found was REAAALy sketchy so we actually settled on OUtback which is always good.
We tried to go to walmart but the lines were INSANE!! I was like "is there a hurricane coming that we don't know about yet??" I mean seriously I have NEVER seen lines that long at a wal-mart in my life!! Crazy..so we left..after we'd already filled up our buggy! Crazy!









Then we decided to play Putt-PUtt..which was really fun..but my mom has like this magical putt-putt ability..she doesn't even try and she basically kicked our butts...Dad and I were struggling..but we did stop in the midst for a Putt-putt photo shoot.....























Ok, so after getting BEAT at putt-putt...we went back for MORE ice cream! I actually switched flavors this time!! I was proud...I got key lime and it was really yummy. I went to sleep so fast when we got back cause I was exhausted!! Then I got up the next mornin early and drove on back to lay out at the pool for an hour and then dive into schoolwork.

SO the last day wasn't the funnest..too much apt stuff and schoolwork and no fuN!!
Can't wait till Friday!! Pool Partay at Bree's for the first years!! Fiesta!! Woohhoo!
I'm a lil excited!! :-)
A girl's gotta have somethin to look forward too! Seriosuly!

Plus! WE have to go see that movie!! You know what I'm talkin bout!! Love summertime movie trips! And We have to try the ice cream at ye old-fashioned that has blue icing in it..i really think it has the potential to be really good!!

Oh, and I invented a new dessert!! I put a chocolate chip muffin..that i added white chocolate chips to also in the bottom of a coffee mug and heated it then put breyers light rocky road ice cream on top of it..add a lil chocolate syrup and i'm tellin you it is AMAZing....just had it for breakfast! Yum!

Time to go get ready for skool :-( I don't wanna go!!

The long day is gray

The long day begins with alarms and the sun

The mind isn't ready but the day has begun

Brewing of the coffee sets the long day in motion

Whistful and restless you bus past the ocean

Gray halls and gray walls when parking is through

Gray desks and gray chairs calling, welcoming you

Three or four hours in one gray spot you spend

A gray laptop the friend on whom you depend

Distractions are endles, the summer sun calls

She whispers goodbye as she silently falls

The day almost over you whistfully gaze

Hoping magical summer will save you from

the long gray days....

thoughts for the morning...

i have been neglecting my fish.....


sorry fish

I am excited about tonight because I have just been informed that I have been included in plans to go get ICE CREAM and watch Pirates of the Carribean for the purpose of educating Shleby who is behind because she is a lil slow but we love her still. :-P


I really like the caprisun that they put in my chicken nugget lunchables! They are really YummY!


I need to pack.


Cross ur fingers cause i think tonight may be the beginning of the "cow as still life art" project....stay tuned for updates...but there is a certain "dissapearing cow" that I will be in search of located in North Charleston tonight!
Gotta love the thrill of the chase! Moo!

“If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman; it would be, I think, an American cow.”

William Lyon Phelps

not so narnia

Ok..so its my fault...I have ruined the "narnia night"...I know..but I do have a good motive..because i'm leavin to go see the parents...I'll make it up to ya'll...somehow...we will just have to postpone narnia night for another night...and i'm thinking anticipation is half the fun right?? Well, I hope so...

And I'm also thinking..I really need some pool time..and its gonna be too long..i need to play pool baseball again! So..I think sunday needs to be a pool day!! Seriously!

Research is freezin me to death..and I'm already shaking i'm so nervous about lab tonight!! :-O
Ugh..it is SCARY!! Hopefully we'll survive once again feeling a little less inteligent as we leave.

Oh, and we have to have a Pirate's Of the Carribean night because Shelly hasn't seen it yet...she's a dork....and she needs to see it before the next one comes out...cause WE"RE GOING...


And...we have to go to BRUSTERs...sunday after pooltime maybe?? because we relaly have to go back and find the big cow!! I'm beginning a new project..I have to come up with a good name for it...basically its going to be stilll life art...with cows...and me....i like it!! Fun fun!

Yay..break time....can't wait till lunch!! WOOHOO!
Peace out yo!

I just opened up my fish game and it said this:

"you discovered the magic fish of fertility! with this fish in your tank, pregnant fish tend to produce an extra baby. this fish was added to your tank."

you have created a monster:-)
~Shelly

Ok, So we're all ADDICTED...this is absolutely nuts.....

Greenfin Stickfish
Orange Goldbulb
Speckled Beta
Crimson Grouper
Spined Leafish
Oriental Comet
Orange Spontanus
Silky Shark
Spined Beta



I really gotta get a life and quit breeding fish in my spare time! Craziness!

Back to Law & Order....prolly should be doing things to get ready for the LONG day tomorrow..but at the moment..i'm just not :-P


Big plans for the weekend! Drivin' up to the beach to see the parents for Father's Day!
Hope everyone's having a fabulous Tuesday! Love ya'll!

hmm...

Ok so..today has been interesting..I got up and went straight to the pool this morning so that I wouldn't be in my apartment when people came in to look at it :-/
Looks like we might be having to move next month...long story..we'll just see what happens with that...craziness....
So then i came back...drank coffee cause i had a super huge awful bad headache that was most likely due to a lack of caffeine..big problem...So i made some wonderful coffee...and ate some lunch..then I went back to the other pool with Shannon and Erica to escape the second round of people coming in to look at our apt.
We had quite a bit of fun listenin' to music and playin' with pool toys. I'm becoming a very big fan of pool toys. Then we went back, got dressed real quick-like and went to LA HA...good times!
We were early to class...where i wrote some STG's and LTG's REALLY FAST..and didn't read the chapters I was supposed to...Oops! :-O
For the last thirty min i've been goofin' off with ET, Amy, and Shelly..makin' up for lost time...Now EVERYONE is addicted to the FISH GAME!!
I will be here till nine tonight...but tomorrow is gonna be a good day cause the plan is to get up early and ExCerSize...a word that has been foreign lately but i'm implementing a new set of get healthy, feel better, basically all around improve my lifestyle plan!! We'll see how this goes.. I'll have to keep you updated...I have to come up with some rules ..and follow them :-P

Some favorite quotes of the day being....

This is so much faster when you do it with your mouth!
~Erica


I'm bout to start over...I have one fish..and its a baby..and i have no money to buy any growth hormone.
~ Shleby

What did ya'll feed Shelly today??
~ET

k its back to lab for me....i'll have to update about that experience later

perfectly wonderful

What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.
~Gertrude

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world.
~Ada Louise Huxtable

Today...was a perfectly wonderful day.....
It began with a little trip to the pool to relax with some girlfriends...and turned into a trip to the grocery store and a little cookout with the girls!! Food, sunshine, and good conversation, along with some strategically chosen pool toys from none other than the dolla tree....made for a marvelous afternoon! It doesn't get much better. I grilled!! I cooked hamburgers on the grill for the first time ever!! And they weren't bad either! They were good, partially due to Shell-dawgs amazing burger patting skills! A big step in the small life of me! Erica has given me the idea for my first cooking show "Chef Brooke, Let me see ya grill!". Look for me soon on food network! I have to say also, that out of all the pool toys I had the most fun playing BaSeBaLl with pretend bases....except for the few moments where I thought I was going to drown because there are several areas of the pool where I can't touch..and everyone else can! That's always fun and interesting!!

Then...when it seemed that things couldn't possibly get any better...they did!!! Shelly and I went all the way to North Charleston to get BRUSTER's ice cream...and of course i got birthday cake....mmmm....i'm still thrilled just thinking about how great it was!

Now...to end a perfect day the three of us are curled up on the couches in the living room..chillin' and watching the shining. I have to say..I'm quite content.

And you guys who went home for the weekend need to come back!! You are missin' on some serious sunshine time with us!! I miss u guys already!! Where is my giraffe?? What's a weenie dog to do? :-P

let me let go

time for the glad game

ok..considering the string of recent events...or maybe just that i'm a girl and i'm constantly on an emotional roller coaster cause i'm crazy..it seems like its time for the glad game...so here goes

Things that make me happy....

Sunshine- I love that feeling when the sun hits your skin and you feel warm all over seems like nothing else matters in that moment and you wonder how anything could go wrong when you close your eyes and feel so wonderful

A good cup of coffee or hot tea- makes me so happy when I curl up on the couch in my pajamas with a warm cup of coffee or tea....every sip makes me a little more calm, a little less anxious, and it seems like with each little taste the world gets a little better...my problems get a little smaller and everything will work out ok


The Beach- What's not to love about the beach?? especially right now....when you go out there and see how huge and beautiful it is...seems like it reminds me that someone soooo much bigger and more powerful and so much wiser than me is in control of my life. makes me really thankful cause I have this way of screwing up everything on my own...i'm just glad i'm not completely on my own...that he's there to pick up the pieces when i make huge messes of everything...which i seem to do all the time...
Plus I love the way the sand feels on my fit..makes me feel like a little kid again...and the wind blowing through my hair makes me feel free...if only for a moment from everything that seems to be weighing me down. The salt and the warmth and all of it together just make me thankful to be there..thankful for what I have..makes me wanna hold on to all the good things in my life and think a little less about the bad....

New candles- I love it when you first light a new candle...the smell seems to be everywhere and its so comforting it makes you want to smile...and hold onto someone

thunderstorms- I love the sound of the rain and the wind outside my window..and sometimes even the lightning and thunder..reminds me of how small i am and that its ok to feel like i can't control everything..because i really can't..sometimes i just need to let go and listen to the rain

time with friends- nothing does more than spending time with people who care about you no matter what...who you can be yourself around and let loose....people you can do anything or nothing with and still be happy...watching movies, cooking out...swimming, or just lounging around whatever it is...spending time with friends makes me a happy girl!


scary movies- I don't know why but its so much fun to try and watch them...i don't last long...i always end up covering my eyes or puttting my head in a pillow..but for some reason its fun to see how long I can last....makes my heart jump :-P

A good book- I love to get lost in a good book...its like no matter where I am I can just pick up a good book and travel to somewhere else, be somewhere else, see and imagine things i've never dreamed of, a book can go anywhere I do and even if its only for a moment i can escape to somewhere else...someplace exciting, someplace different....

music- I love music....no matter how you feel or why there is always a song or a sound that can speak to you...something that meets you right where you are no matter what...it can pick me up when i'm down....i love to close my door and sing my heart out...i like to dance to music while i'm gettin' ready in the mornin'...there's something about music that connects to the deepest parts of you...the parts you can't talk about out loud...the things your scared of....things you can't say but you can feel...music goes there


guess a lot of things make me happy..... :-)

Magical Summer

ok you guys..i'm updating..chill out yo! :-)





So lately I've been thinkin'...I know..scary..but I have...about how there really is something magic about summertime. I'm serious. It's like as soon as i spend a little time in the sunshine everything seems so much better. It makes me think of possibility, opportunity, excitement, of meeting new people, visiting new places, and I think most of all, about how quickly life can change. I mean, in one instant your whole life can take a different path you had never imagined. That is exciting! Possibly these thoughts come from the five straight days I recently spent in the sun. But they were wonderful days filled with fun, and frienship, with the excitement that comes with getting to know new people and the comfort and happiness that comes with spending time with the friends wo know me so well. I just think....what more could I ask for?? How could I be any luckier?? Or any happier? So, its only been like two weeks and now i'm wondering...what else does this wonderfully magical summer have in store for me? I can't even imagine...and I can't wait. I just know that whatever it is...I'm going to be ready for it...ready to dive in headfirst and enjoy the magic!
