Making my way...

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 15:29:39 GMT

I often ponder why you have to take a class, written test, and hands on test with supervised guidance before getting a driver's license, but any idiot can have a baby....amazing. Maybe we should rethink this?

Boredom

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:53:04 GMT

Dave is out finishing his Christmas shopping for me. Which sucks, that crazy ass keeps deleting every website he goes to. Pisses me off. There is nothing fun about being surprised on Christmas. SURPRISE! Here's a bag of lace, or a bar of soap, or a maroon turtle neck a size to small. No thank you, I want to know what I am getting. I have unwrapped an rewrapped presents before, thus, the wrapped gift he has bought me is at his mother's house. What a load crap.

In the mean time, I may as well be his grandmother, because all I have bought him is a belt. LAME! I have no idea what to buy him. Dave's surprise this year may be "all you got for Christmas was a lame-ass belt, surprise!!!"

And I'm not in the Christmas spirit it was 78 degrees today! WTF?! It is December for crying out loud. I should not be able to sun bathe in December. Ever. Granted, Jesus was born in a desert, and that would make more since, but it isn't what they put in songs! No one sings about a Sand Storm Christmas. It is a White Christmas!

But my apartment is gorgeous and decorated top to bottom every room. Tristan's room has snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, with colored lights around the window, and a fiber optic 3 foot tree. Plus a reindeer that dances and sings (he loves it) and some nick nacks on the tv and windowsill.

The bathrooms have decorative towels and little decorative pieces on the sinks and backs of the toilets. The kitchen cabinets have lighted garland, the table (with my new chairs!!!) has red velvet placemats, a huge vase filled with red ornaments, and candle sticks. We have stockings, lights everywhere a gorgeous tree. And a lighted wreath on the door, a miniature tree inside the door, and on the balcony with have a 7 foot tree of clear lights and clear lighted garland. It looks fancy pants. And every balcony underneath me (I'm on the top floor) is also decorated with lights. Our building is the most spirited. Tristan still hasn't been over to see it. I can't wait until he does!

And I got 3 Christmas cards this year. Talking monkeys, I need your address to send you one. I know you like to get them! :-)

Engagement Pictures

My friend Katie took these pictures of me and Dave at our Engagement party at Lake Cooley in South Carolina. I want to use one for the newspaper announcement, but can't decide which. :-)

BUSY

I'm exhausted. I haven't had tv since November...and I don't miss it. Mostly because I'm never home. I'm stressed, but I'll be glad to have all my friends celebrate with me. It's going to be a party. :-)

SO that is the run down...holler back.

By the way

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:53:36 GMT

Dave proposed, I said yes. :-)

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 16:36:23 GMT

All I want is to win the lottery one time...the big one. I know money can't buy happiness, but it is a risk I will be willing to take. The burden of overabundance, I am willing to bear. I will find ways to occupy my time to not have idle hands, and I will be charitable....PLEASE GOD LET ME WIN THE LOTTERY SO I DONT HAVE TO SIT IN A CUBE ALL DAY CONTEMPLATING WAYS TO BE DECLARED MENTALLY UNSTABLE! PLEASE!

Amen.

Is it wrong that I get a little happiness from logging on to Facebook and reading "So and so is your co-worker. You are friends with so and so."?

I like friends.

Tue, 02 May 2006 17:29:55 GMT

Soon to come...

update on jobs
graduation talk (MAY 12TH!!)
boyfriend talk
me being an AUNT talk!

stay tuned, or miss out.

Reason 478 why I am ready to leave college behind:

A thundering herd of hoes just ran down the stairs of my apartment building. I hate hoes.

When it rains...it pours.

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 02:10:56 GMT

What a great couple of days!

A headhunter phoned after seeing my resume on CareerBuilders and asked to submit it to a medical device manufacturer in Greenwood, SC (about an hour south of Spartanburg-ie David). So I allowed it, turns out it is Tyco's medical division...talking_monkeys any advice?

Then I went to a dinner with the Michelin people who are interviewing candidates tomorrow (the interview I was turned down for). But got to talk with them and personally hand them my resume. The lady who has turned me down more than once was there, she recognized my name. Told me she had heard an excellent referral from David's dad and said if I couldn't get in to interview tomorrow, that at the very least she would have a phone interview for me. I really feel good about this. If I can interview, I think I can get the job. And I want the job.

Then I got a bonus from work $250 for that project I was working on. So in addition to the plexiglass number one I got MONEY!!! YAY!!

Yesterday I went into Bath and Bodyworks and got an amazing deal...buy 3 get one free, plus I had a coupon for free product, and body spray was half off. And they offered me a job. CRAZY. I am thinking about doing it. But I need to make sure I have the time. I don't want to devote myself to something and not be able to follow through.

So this weekend, I am going to use my bonus to buy my graduation dress, take Dave and I to a nice dinner, and get the lights for my car...I have a brake light, at least 1 fog light, a signal light, and side reflector light out. HAHA.

I laid in the tanning bed today for 8 minutes Kell, and I think its okay! I knew you would want the 411 on that. Yeah, I went there, I used "411". That's how good of a mood I am in.

I am going to work on my resume tonight so my brother can give it to Day and Zimmerman for their Greenville office openings!

WOOO-HOOOO!!!

I keep getting calls on my cell from an unknown number, but everytime I have been unable to answer cause of class or dinner tonight...I am hoping it is about a job.

On a serious note, please pray for my uncle. He has been very sick since before Christmas and goes for another surgery on Friday. He has had 2 or 3 already and has been in and out of the hospital for months, mostly in.

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:13:58 GMT

I am so bored. I have checked my email about a thousand times.

I just showered, and in a few minutes I think I will go for a walk.

No energy whatsoever. Blah.

BORED.

Now aint that the fucking truth..

A Woman's Rule of Thumb:
If it has tires or testicles,
You're going to have trouble with it.

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yours" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1.) I hate odd numbers, and refuse to eat an odd number of colors of M&Ms. 1 Blue on each side of my mouth, etc.
2.) I talk to myself all the time until I laugh out loud. I do this even at work. But my favorite is in the shower.
3.) I salt my pizza.
4.) I build a fort around me with pillows in order to go to sleep. 1 at my head two on either side, and one blocking the light from my alarm clock. And I can only sleep on my belly.
5.) I lose my breath, and at random times gasp to catch it. Probably something seriously wrong, but what I don't know won't...well it might, but I'm taking that chance. It freaks my friends out.

I love diamonds. And I want one for my right hand...more specifically I want this one...

http://www.ice.com/customer/product_detail.jsp?product=94766508

That website is awesome, they have an initial pendant in white gold and all diamonds for under $200.

Damn it. I need a job. Or a rich boyfriend. I'd rather have the job. Buy it for myself and not have to wonder if other motives exist.

I have a serious shopping addiction. Seriously, someone stop me.

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 13:35:19 GMT

I'm off to catch my first plane to anywhere, ever. And its raining here, and snow flurry possibility in Pittsburgh.

I like pictures...

Fri, 28 Oct 2005 15:51:59 GMT

One of my girls came up for the game! This is Rena, we've known each other since the first week of college. On November 12th, Blakelyn and I are heading up to DC for the weekend to hang out with this cool-ass chick! I am so white! And we were talking about wearing shorts during the summer, I said I like capris cause I'm always white, Rena responded with "You're white?!?! What? I swear I thought you were Indian and I was white!" She is such a goober.

And, of course, me and Mogs right after he got groomed. He's so pretty.

Fri, 28 Oct 2005 04:26:37 GMT

Me and Dave at the game tonight. Hokies beat Boston College!

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 18:23:34 GMT

Happy Fall, we are expecting snow this week. Today there is sleet and I am freezing my butt off. Blacksburg is dumb.

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 03:04:21 GMT

take me on a carousal ride, to a fireworks show, drive me through the mountains in the fall, hold my hand and walk with me, take my picture, look at me like you are so grateful to see me, hold me, flirt with me, make me smile, make me feel like I want to feel, make someone passing by take our picture, want to be with me, let me know, make me be the only one.

Here's a diet I can do...

Boondocks

Sun, 09 Oct 2005 16:56:38 GMT

(Chorus:)
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

And I can feel
That muddy water running through my veins
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train
It sings to me and it sounds familiar

(Chorus)

And I can taste
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old camp creek
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing

(Chorus)

It's where I learned about living
It's where I learned about love
It's where I learned about working hard
And having a little was just enough

It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowing where I stand
You can take it or leave it, this is me
This is who I am

Give me a tin roof
A front porch and a gravel road
And that's home to me
It feels like home to me

(Chorus)

I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

(2x)
You get a line, I'll get a pole
We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole
(Down in the boondocks)
Five-card poker on a Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

Say a little prayer for me

****************
You may not agree but country music right now, rocks my face off. But, I've ALWAYS been a fan. Its just that right now there are a shitload of songs I want.

This will be gross. God save us all. The gush fest will continue to spread until these people are stopped. N A S T Y

My dog likes to hump his stuffed bear...a lot. He starts out on the couch ends up falling off into the floor and panting with "sex hair". Its the funniest thing ever. Cause he looks like a little dust mop giving the bear hell. He bites its nose while making sweet monkey love to it. Needless to say this is our entertainment on a nightly basis.

And in unrelated news, I'm starving.

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 14:20:45 GMT

now what.

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:39:07 GMT

Damn it. Happy birthday to talking monkeys....too many days too late.
