what a beautiful morning...

So I have the week off from work at Ridgecrest, and my mom thought it would be a good idea to fly to Asheville to see me and then we could drive to Connecticut together to visit my sister and her family. So we did...we did the whole 850 mile drive up here on Saturday. It was incredible. I took Vilac (my car) through Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and many other cities I thought I would really not have the chance to see. Yes, it may have just been the interstate, but still it was cool. So my intentions for the week were to be lazy and sleep and watch t.v. and not move from the couch for hours-HA! My body thinks it is really fun to wake me up at the crack of dawn (also know as 7:00a.) because it is used to being woken that early. I do not appreiate it at all. Why can't I just have one morning to sleep in? Whatev. So the NorthEast is gorgeous. Humid, but still pretty. I do believe we are planning to visit NYC one day-how awesome. Well anyway, I just wanted to swing by xanga and leave a little message.

It's been a while

Okay, so here I sit with the whole weekend at my fingertips. I don't have to work until Monday night!! Awesome, I know. Excecpt the money aspect of work is really nice and I have no kind of life here, so working this whole weekend would actually be okay with me. That and the fact that all the vacations I have taken in the last month are now catching up with me, and me being who I am wasn't the wisest in my financial planning. Also-it is very strange for me to go from a "waitress' salary" (if you will) to a wage where you get paid every 2 weeks.
I have been going through a lot of training/cleaning/organizing/decorating this past week to get ready for all the children that will be coming come this new week. I am really excited b/c this year I am the lead in the infants room and I have never been a lead, nor in the infants room. 2 totally new expierences.
I am just having some issues. I think I am realizing that I am not to big of a fan of change. Like I came with this mind set that I wanted EVERYTHING to be the same from the last time I was here...but that is not necessarily healthy. I believe I am here for a reason, and it may be unknown to me know, but I have no doubt that GOD is going to show me the reason someday. I just wish I didn't feel SO STINKIN ALONE!! It's so strange how one person can make such a HUGE impact in someone's life, ya know. Like how just one single human being in this enormous world can turn another person's world around.
I can't believe that I have stayed away from Xanga soooo long. Darn Myspace. To tell the truth when I was logging on I didn't remember my username or password. I had to have them sent to me. And then once I actually got logged in, I had NO idea how to post a new blog. I am not even really sure how I got here, so hopefully next time I wil be so lucky.
I can only imagine how happy Nikki is right now...reading this and knowing that I am back, and for a good part of the summer will be blogging on Xanga. Myspace to me is just for the "social scene" you know-commenting to people, reading other's profiles, taking quizzes, whereas on Xanga I really can just let it go and let it flow. It's quite nice.
Until Next Time....

for the sake of friendship

I feel as though if I don't update, I may lose a very dear, and good friend of mine; Nikki Carrier. So therefore, Nikki, this blog is for you.

Alright, I don't have a lot of time to sit and type because I have already been out of school for an hour, and have got nothing done, when in all reality, I have about 10 things I need to go do all before work, which is at 5:00p.m. So, last night was the first time in a long time in which I have stayed up late to do homework. I always reason with myself, and find some excuse to not do my homework, and say I will get up in the morning and do it. But last night, I knew that there was no way I could get up this morning and do it, so therfore, I pressed on and did it. I was up till about 3:00 a.m., but I also watched two episodes of sex and the city before I went to bed. FYI, I want to be Carrie Bradshaw. I love her, or her charcter at least. So I haven't been as faithful to my workout routine as I would like to be. So today, I am going to have to get motivated and go workout, and even though I will probably want to quit during my rigourous workout, I will have to continue if I want to look some what decent in a bathing suit while on the BEACH in Ft. Laud over SPRING BREAK!!!! I also have really been fighting with the idea of becoming a waitress again, you just make such great money. And who dosen't need money? well, probably Bill Gates. Okay I am off, I will post again soon, rest assured.

-peace

Currently Listening
Back to Bedlam
By James Blunt

alright, here is my latest dilema, do you ever have one of those thoughts that are so profound that you are just like "I have to put that on xanga" and then you are like, I should right it down, but it is so flippin good, you think you will remember it, and then as soon as you get home, and get to posting, you fricken forget? AHHHHH, that is pretty much me all around. Fricken' A. So....it's been a good while since I have had a decent post. And for that, I do apologize.  I just need to sit for a second, and clear my head so I can just start ramblin all the thought that are clogging my brain. I always have to stop everything I else I am doing when I post so I can only focus on my post; I have been getting these terrible headaches, almost every day. They feel like someone is taking a drill and putting hundreds of screws in my head, now understand, I don't really know what that feels like,but I do think this is a close comparison. Maybe I need a new rx for my glasses? but I just got these ones like 3 months ago? Who knows. School, well, what can I say? it's most definetly school. I have this paper that is due on friday at 4:00p. and I just know that I am going to be working my tail off on Friday trying to finish it b/c I keep procrastinating. I really wish I could be more responsible for my actions. Last night, Tessa came over and we watched a movie and got "chip-faced", yes that is right, I typed "chip-faced". We went to Econo, and bought a butt-load of ice cream (3 diff. flavors to be exact) and then snuggled up in my bed and watch this terrible movie. I couldn't handle it, so after an hour of the most ridiculous plot acted out on a screen, and 1000 calories of ice cream later, i had to shut it off. I think it was called "the truth about love" or something. Claire Danes was in it, and usually I like her, but this movie was a little too much for me. My car is now well over 300 miles past due for an oil-change, and I need to go get it done, but I had to wait until I got paid b/c I couldn't afford it, well I could, but I rather spend my money at the Mystic Blend (M.B. for short), that is where you will most likely find me almost every afternoon. So, now I have been paid, and do plan on getting it changed tomorrow. I just have such a fear of my car breaking down, so I hate when I have to wait to get the oil changed, I am the girl who does it 300 miles in advance. I think it is only normal for me to be so paranoid about my car those, given the history I have w/ cars. Which also by the way, my insurance premium went down $800.00 for this next 6 months, how freaking Exiting is that?!? Praise Jesus! It went from a little over $2,000.00 to $1,800.00. I was so thrilled. What a blessing. hmmmm, so what else? Here in a few weeks I will be taking my little adventure on I-94 to go visit my very loving father, and then to go see all my fantastic friends, who I wouldn't trade in about a gazillion years in Grand Forks. And to put Icing on the cake!!!! Jamey Dixon called me a few nights ago (at the most ridiculous time) and told me he was going to be there that same weekend.  I mean, I know life can get better than that, so I really can't use the refrence "can it get any better" but I mean, come on...how great. I love road-trips, I love driving, I love all my friend and I love the fact that I get to hang out w/ Jamey! I just love him, i just do. so, alright I think that is a sufficient post for now. I just also want to let you know, that if you don't own the James Blunt c.d. yet, ohhh you pour soul-get it now !

-peace

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart".
