All My Love...


So, I've been busy the past few days making Valentines. I love them and I think they're so much nicer than store bought Valentines. Each one is special. So, here are just a few of my favorites...

I saw you face in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do, cause I'll never be with you

Hi everyone.

Hope your weekend was bucktes of fun. Mine was. Leslie, Crystal and I went out last night. We ate at Bennigans and then we went to the movies. We saw Brokeback Mountain. We were really curious to see what the hype was about. I'll be honest, it was great. It's a fantastic love story. Plus, I love Heath Ledger. It was a good movie, but I don't think it was/is Oscar/Golden Glode worthy. I honestly believe all thy hype is just because it's controversial. If this movie was about a guy and a girl, I can guarantee that it wouldn't be getting the response it is. I mean, the movie wasn't even released yet and it was already getting nominated for awards. *sigh* Everyone loves a good controversy.... anyway, it was good, so go see it.

Also, I need to mention that I adore James Blunt. He's a brittish singer. I think he sounds like Rod Stewart. Check him out http://www.jamesblunt.com

Also, I'm addicted to the Hanson LiveJournal community. This one Hanson fan was sitting in Starbucks in Utica Square and was wearing her Hanson sweatshirt. So, someone says, "Hey, nice sweatshirt". Bam. Taylor Hanson. Anyway, he sat down at the table next to her and just started talking to her. She even has pictures to prove it. I was really surprised becuase Taylor is probably the quietest/shy of the brothers, so the fact that he sat with her for about 20 minutes, was really cool in my eyes. Yay for Taylor!

So, I didn't really do anything tonight. I made Valentines Day cards all afternoon. They're so pretty. I took a bubble bath and it was delightful. I gave myself a facial and that was great too.

I'm ready to be in a relationship. Shelly and I were talking about that Friday at work. She was engaged 4 times before she got married. She reminds me a lot of myself. I like her a lot.

Hm...it's late, and I have school tomorrow. So, I'm going to go. I skipped my Advertising class on Friday, so I need to go tomorrow. Have a fun week at school!

Stay beautiful baby

Hi everyone. Gosh. It's been a long day.

School was fine. No big deal. Work was good. I got 2 referrals today. *horray*

Jessica is on her way over. We're going to eat BBQ and then come back and study our physical science lab work. SHould be buckets of fun.

Brr!

Hi everyone.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It's been crazy around here. Between school, work and trying to have a social life, it's been pretty stressful around here.

I started at my new bank and it's wonderful. All of the girls are really nice. I'm so glad to be here.

Gotta run to school, but I promise I'll update more this week!

I'm sorry for being me

So, today was my last day at my bank, and I start at my new one Tuesday. It was a pretty good day. Not too busy.

My mom is in a eally pissy mood. I've been on a diet ever since the first of the year. I feel different, but the scale doesn't reflect any change. So, my mom pretty much told me I was fat today. It really hurt my feelings. I asked her what she was making for dinner and after she said we were having left overs, I said something about maybe going out with some friends tonight. She blew up and was like, "Fine, go out and eat, then maybe you can get fatter". Ouch. I think I've been doing pretty good. I eat oatmeal for breakfast and usually get subway for lunch. But, still nothing. I guess I'm just old fashioned. I want to believe that families love and support each other no matter what. I honestly can't believe I've lied to myself for that long. The thing about families is this, they are the most critical of you. They think that since you're related to them, you'll always love them and forgive them for their mistakes, so they can be as mean to you as they want and you'll always find it in your heart to look past that and still love them.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love my mom, dad and sister more than anything in the world, but it's really hard to forgive when they intentionally say something to hurt you. I want to loose weight. I really really do. I'm sorry that I'm not a stick like my sister is. But I feel like I'm constantly being compared to her. She can eat whatever she wants and still, looks great. Me, on the other hand, I look at something and I gain weight. It's not the least bit fair. But hey, life isn't fair now is it?

So, I stayed home and ate leftovers for dinner. I'll probably go to bed soon, even though it's only 7:00. I might even make a trip to the bathroom to puke up my dinner I just ate. After all, I don't want to be known as the "fat one" anymore.

A blissful slavery of mind, body and soul

Hi everyone.

Hope your day was great. I didn't have classes today, so that was nice. I think I'll enjoy my Thursday break. It was nice today. I got up and ran to Hancock's to get some scrapbook stuff. It was all half off! So, I got some really cute stuff.

I went out with Leslie tonight. I haven't seen her in forever, so I missed her a lot. It's been like 3 weeks since I've seen her. We went out to dinner and then went to Best Buy to stare at the guy she's in love with.

Back to school tomorrow. It'll be okay though. I don't have to go to my Economics class because the professor is a grad student at OSU and she has to take some test tomorrow, so she won't be here. Instead, we have a project to work on. So, I'll be spending my time im the coputer lab looking for an article on economics and writing a summary about it. Should be lots of fun....Yea right.

Alrighty, I'm off to bed. Night!

Hey Fred....no one walks out on me....

Hi everyone. So, are you ready for the big school update? Okay, here goes...

Principles of Advertising - My professor is really nice, but she talks a lot. I can tell that this is one class where we'll never get out early. She babbled on and on for 40 of the 50 minutes about herself. She's from Edmond, so I hope she's not too snobbish. *DISCLAIMER* Not everyone from Edmond is snobbish. However, it has been my experience that people from Edmond have an 'I'm better than you' attitude. I love people from Edmond, right Kara?

General Science - To be honest, I was really scared of this class. My professor is this asian guy and he's a little difficult to understand. On the other hand, he seems really cool. He said the lowest grade he gives is a C. Which is awesome. He also cracks lots of jokes but you have to listen really good to catch them. I'm scared, but I have a feeling I'm really going to like him.

Economics - My professor is a graduate student from OSU. She's really cool, but seems like a hard ass too. She told us that she knows what it's like to be a student and have other things going on in your life so she's easy to work with. However, on that same note, since she is a student, she will not accept late work or make up tests.

Humanities - This is my second humanities class to take with this professor. I love her. She's brilliant and really loves to teach this stuff. She's hilarious and talks non stop about her cats. I can't wait for her class.

Technology for Teachers - As I was talking to my sister a few weeks ago about our classes and professors I realized that I have never had a black teacher. Until now. My professor is so cool. She's been at the university for 20 years and is super nice. I think this class will be challenging because there's so many little projects to do and whatnot, but I really like her and I'll try hard to do good.

Jessica is coming over tomorrow morning and we're going to carpool to class since today is our late day with our lab. Kaley and Landon have this same lab with us.

I also forgot to mention that I don't know anyone in my classes, which will be a great opportunity to meet new people, however, it's a little bi scary not knowing anyone. Oh well, it's time to get on with it!

I officially have 1 week until I start at my new bank on Reno and Mustang Road and I can't wait!

New Diet

So I'm trying a new diet. For the next 9 days, I'm only eating furit and veggies. I heard about this diet, so I'm going to try it out and see how it works.

I'll make a smoothie with ice and strawberries, oranges, bananas, etc.

I'll have a salad for lunch.

This might not be so bad....we'll see though. Hopefully the punds will melt off.

Road trip!

So, I'm fixing to leave to go to Dallas with Jessica! It's going to be so fun! We're hitting Sam Moon, Ikea, Stonebriar and Grapevine Mills. It's going to be ultra fun. I can't wait! Speaking of that, it's 6:38, so I better run. I'm picking her up at 7:00 and I still need to get gas!

More updates on Sunday!

Scrapbook Mania

So last night I made the best scrapbook page ever! It's black cardstock and has a black and white picture of Susie on it along with some journaling. But, I added a new touch...buttons and ribbon! That's my New Years resolution, I need to scrapbook more. I've subscribed to 2 different scrapbook magazines, so hopefully those will give me some great ideas. I'm going to enter some pictures in the fair this fall and I'm going to win 1st place! *yes!*

Alright, I need to run to work now, but I'll talk to you later!

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a fun night last night. Mine was good, uneventful. I came home from work and helped my mom make calazones. We ate those and watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was fun. I fell asleep before midnight! *I know I know, I'm a weenie*

So, I've been looking at my school schedule...I think I'm going to swtich my Economics class around a bit. I read lots of bad things about my Econ professor at Ratemyprofessor.com so I'm scared about that. So, I'm switching. I'd rather switch and be safe, than keep it and risk making a bad grade.

Well, I have a lot more things to do on here, so I need to get going. Have a nice day!
