Fun times!

oh my gosh!

You guys!!! Oh my gosh..I seriously can't believe this is our last week of classes. Exams next week and then its our last school of semester...i mean semester of school!! haha..see its freakin' me out!! i can't believe it!

So today was a good day...got up..drank some coffee with hazelnut cream and whip cream on top..yum..i'm a coffee maker i am! Then i worked on those vicious neuro questions that no one is done with yet! uh huh...then watched the first half of titanic..slightly silly i know but I've actually never seen it so it seemed like the thing to do. Got antsy so i went and FINALLY finished getting the last stuff from the move out of my car..woopeee!! Yay for me..and actually sat up my seats so i have a normal car again...yay about that.

Tried to work on some neuro some more..wasn't happening at all...so... i convinced shannon to accompany me to Food Lion...a special stop at our "candy shop" hee hee...and then to dolla tree where we hit them up! Ya i'm crazy but we did have fun. We came back all excited cause we got a microphone for our band!! however...the plug on that thing is a lil big so we have to regroup and come up with a new idea...hmmm...either an adapter(not likely) or we need to get a new mike...ya prolly the latter of the two....

Then we had to leave for class..blah..where we have been learning about sex...and poop..not the most exciting thing ever....
Shannon has been planning our porch party for the weekend during class tentatively scheduled for saturday...prolly i should figure out what day our exams is/are?? haha..prolly

ET is tryin' to convince me to to eat after class...but..i'm thinkin i should take my lil behind home and try to finish this neuro stuff and work on the other two assignments that I've blocked from my mind...hmmm...ya maybe that with a lil law and order...sounds like an exciting night to me!! guess i should go try to pay attn now...
i love summer wish it would never end!!!

starbucks inspiration for shleby

So..I was tryin' very hard to be productive this afternoon...I went on over to the food lion to get me some groceries now that we are in the new apt!! So i get my buggy all full with my stuff and I'm walkin down the isle...with the detergent...very exciting isle....and all of the sudden the lights go out..and the bottom falls out of the sky. So they tell everyone to come to the front of the store...and i'm like pushing my buggy tryin not to hit things in the freakin' pitch black dark and there is another guy on my isle and it is just creepy!! So they all scurry around makin calls and stuff and everyone's standin up front with their buggies and i can here this guy who works there sayin' "they tryin' to send me to the back..i ain't goin back there in the dark...dangerous"...well a few min later they are like "we need everyone to leave now..thanks"...so i left.....being that there was no electricity at our apt either i headed on over to the publix to "re-shop"...i'm not sure if that is a word...but that is totally what i did...so i kinda had two fun grocery shopping trips today and now i kinda think maybe sometimes it is better to take a friend with you just in case you end up in the dark!
So i survived and came back to the apt...and we chilled out for a bit...with no power..and then Shelly took me to STARBUCKS!! best part of the day yo! That white mocha was soooo good and i definately needed it! ne ways on my cup was this little saying and I told Shelly I'd put it in my blog just for her so here goes!

The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.
--Anne Morris

So now Et has come over and our power is back and she and shelly and shannon and I are all chillin' in the living room watching practical magic!! Gotta love those midnight margaritas!!


1st night in the new apt!! GOtta make it a good one....definately been the kinda afternoon that makes ya wanna cuddle up with someone special...
night ya'll

thankful

wow what a whirlwind weekend!! Seems like I haven't even had time to breathe!!

It began really with camp on Friday morning...we knew it was going to be a long long....long long...very long busy day..but I don't think we could have begun to prepare ourselves for how very long it actually was.

The waterpark was CRAZEE but lots of fun as well!! One of my favorite days at camp so far!!
Poor Bree..i was feelin' bad for her though...bein hungover that day had to be sheer TORTURE!

Then there was wildwings....Note to self: Never Eat Wildwings before MOVING!! BAD IDEA!
Fun..but a very very very bad idea. So after a much needed break and lunch/dinner at wildwings...Shay Shay and I headed back to the apartment to get our move on!!

And...we are so so so lucky and blessed to have friends!! Because shortly after we started moving Christina showed up to help and then shortly after that Sam showed up with his truck!
Christina's new name is "hoss" bc the chick can sure carry some furniture!! We must have made a million trillion trips up and down stairs with all manner of things and truck rides back and forth ....by the end of the night every part of us was aching!! We finally pooped out cause we couldn't do ne more! So the four of us crashed ....Shelly's parents brought us drinks from SONIC, and tina got her some chinese..then all four of us drug our worn out behinds to the pool for a little night swimming which turned out to be more like night vegging in the pool. we were too tired to move!! Afterthat our faithful companions went home and shannon and i camped out in the living room on the couches cause we had no beds haha....and she put in a scary movie "when a stranger calls"...fun times....we woke up in the morning and after a cup of coffee we were back at it hard and strong again!! No showers even..we were hardcore and Sam and christina were back again to help us finish...we all worked our tails off! And Shelly's parentals were really sweet too her Dad took down my curtains and put them back up for me!! He did call me a redneck once...but I'll forgive him for that...cause i laughed when he fell up the stairs..haha...shelly did too!...laughed i mean...
So ne ways...when the moving was almost done we had PIZZA for lunch...i love pizza by the way...seriously love pizza!! Then we all took a short rest break and had a lil much needed quiet time. I really didn't think I was gonna make it that there was no way I could do ne thing..but we pulled it together..got ourselves dressed and headed out to Carisa's for her Redneck/Moonbounce party! I am sooooo glad we went it was a blast!!

I have to say that having a moonbounce was like the best idea ever!! it was quite fun...the whole night was!! It was good to see everyone and shannon was hilarious with her dale earnheart getup....Jenni and Lauren brought the cutest lil OT cake and Shannon and I.....as usual hung in till the end...heck we spent the night!! We're like those gests thta never leave!! Haha...

Shannon made some big steps towards her fear of dogs...We almost let cooper sleep with us..but she said no..haha....

Oh and this morning was great when Carisa's husband came walkkin into the kitchen in a speedo!! I just covered my eyes..haha they are CRAZY....but so are we so its all good....

Moe's for lunch was perfect!! Went back on over to old 621 and finished gettin' the rest of our junk!! We are finally DONE!! yay!! We are moved in woohoo!! finally done!! i'm a lil excited bout it!!! So i should try to get some work done now but i'm just plain pooped....did i mention i love pizza? So I may wash a little clothes..do a little work..watchin a little lifetime...you know how it goes!! Maybe make a fun lil trip to the food lion....gotta love Sunday afternoons after a very busy...but very good weekend...at the moment i'm just very thankful
i'm a lucky girl to have people who care about me and will be there for me when i need them :-)

aqua shaped dreams of optimism

so tomorrow is the waterpark...beaver reunion shortly after at wild wings, and then workin' our behinds off to move our junk!! I can't even imagine what the day is gonna be like.....i'm sure there will be stories...

lesson of the night is...friends are important...even if they make u watch really bad bad corny dorky sappy bad movies...they can save you from having to marry some evil blow fish and help you find love with the man..i mean boy..you choose




on a serious note...i was thinking.....i'm afraid i'm in fact an idealist...i imagine that is why i have chosen the career that i have....however I am also that way in thinking about others and the future. I have this picture in my head of what I expect someone to be like..I always have such high expectations of others.....and I guess this makes it easy to be let down...but what's the alternative?? I think I'll stick with assuming the best ..picturing the future to be everything that I hope...and who knows?? Maybe one day I'll be shocked to find things are even better than I could have imagined.

Unrealistic? Maybe...but quite happy to stay that way!

The Hungry Caterpillar ate Andolinis!

So the Hungry Caterpillar was a success afterall!! It was soooo crazy but lots of fun also!






So glad the three amigos could make it!!



It's been a super busy day...really enjoyed the talk we had from "the General" this afternoon...both of the speakers we have had this week have really made me do a lot of thinking, and soul searching, and definately made me really want to grow as a person. I wish I had people like that to remind me everyday to take a step back and look at what I have...what I have to give to others, and to remind me how important it is to never take anything for granted!

I think the thing that really hit me the hardest was when he spoke about his wife. I mean, to be devoted to someone so much that even when your entire life..and their entire life changes you love them and do whatever it takes for as long as it takes as she is doing. That's the kind of love I hope I'm blessed enough to find. That's the kind of selfless love and devotion I hope I can give to someone someday. Seems to me that's the kind worth holding out for....

and on that sappy note..i'm gonna go start my article for Nancy...yep i procrastinated...i know you're not surprised!! :-P

Night ya'll

I heart camp

So...this is me and my camper on a hot day at CATR!! Camp has been really great so far!! I'm going to be sad when its over!!
Yesterday Nicole and I spent a couple hours working on the very large rainbow fish (pictures of that to come :-) It is currently resting in my car and takes up the length of the car. Right underneath it are the MoViNg BoXes...busy busy week!!
So I"m currently in ReSeaRch class...obviouslly NOT paying attention..oops! :-P And as soon as it's over Riley and I are headed to camp because today is the big PlAy!! The Hungry Caterpillar!! Get excited!! haha....so glad that Giraffe and Shell-dawg are coming along as well. Et has been appointed the official photographer for the event...basically I put her in charge of my camera..yay! And she's already been practicin' in class..who knows!!
This weekend looks to be an interesting one as well..If I can make it to Saturday night I'm home free!! Time to go to the good ole country party them folks is havin' up in goose crick!! Might be time for Bertha mae's sister to make another appearance...ya'll be ready now! ;-)

As soon as this weekend is over its time to start workin' on Gold Rush/ western scenery for the next camp!! I heart camp!





On a side note I really can't believe this semester is almost over!! SCARY!! Only one more semester and no more class!! How crazy is that? Its hard for me to blieve I'm almost done..and I'm thrilled about my rotations also!!

If anyone is going to be around I will be in Greenville starting in Jan...Anderson after that..and then Greenwood for the summer! Call me cause I will be LoNeLy!! And weekends will be ROAD TRIPS! :-)

Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season.
It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year.
It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow.
Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.
~W.E.B. Du Bois

rasberry flavored turnip greens

Now shell dawg is makin some coffee!!



I can't think of any way things could get any better!! ....well...maybe one ;-)






Currently Watching: Memoirs of a Geisha

some quotes that seem appropriate right now....

“You must constantly ask yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay? Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”
Jim Rohn

“You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.”
Anthony Robbins

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
-W. M. Lewis

"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child."
-Forest Witcraft

I think that children have a power to imagine that is almost magical when compared to the adult imagination, and this is something irrevocable that a child loses when he or she becomes bound by logic. We adults continue to have our children’s power of imagination only in our dreams... Of course it’s awfully necessary that children not run their entire lives on the basis of such thinking; they do need to learn how to think logically. But the world will soon teach that to them -and in overabundance. I think we should do everything we can to make it possible for children to hang onto the power to imagine in the almost magical sense for as long as possible.
-Joseph Weizenbaum

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Keller, Helen

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.
Helen Keller

randomness from the weekend

Don't have time to go into detail about all the random fun craziness of the weekend but i'll try to hit some of the highlights!!




"i'd say it all began with literally about 20 phone calls from erica..along with some rather disturbing ims...from erica..and very nice I love you text messages from ....erica! :-P"

followed by....

"She'll do anything for starbucks and sonic!"


Fun times at the pool:

"Your birth was a mistake?"

"hey shannon where's my drink?"

"you're my servant now"

"What's your favorite....."

"Hey Brenda!!"

" You hold hands with your girlfriend"

"Are you married?"

"Your name is crapola"

"you look like something i found in the toilet!"

"Is that your boyfriend?"

~ How old do i look??
~I'd say fifteen.
~How old does she look??
~umm....42

"do you want to have kids?"
"yes, after i get married....i don't even have a boyfriend"
"if you were my mom i'd prolly see you naked" (~7 yr old boy)
