Final note..

Well we have roughly four weeks left. This semester has been insane. I wish one of my grades was higher than what it is but its not. I hope that when I take the final test I pass with a C. I dislike classes where the teacher doesn't offer extra credit. you don't have to give much but some times a little is better than none.

Anyway, I hope each of you pass your class and I hope you are able to graduate when you need to.

This weekend has definitely been a weekend for slacking. I have so much to accomplish for school and other non school related items that I just keep putting it off. Once I finish watching The Knowing, I will get started on everything else. I want to go to the movies tonight, but I am not sure if that is going to happen. I hope like heck it will.

Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday season as well.

Friday night..

Well it's 10.27 p.m. on a Friday night. You ask yourself "What in the world are you doing school work for?" Oh my goodness. It has been a busy semester, but It is coming to an end rather quickly. I find it harder and harder to concentrate the closer it gets to the end of a semester. I often wonder do other people feel this way? If so how do you cope with it? The worst part of the year for me is Spring. I have a really hard time concentrating especially when it has been a long winter. 


I enjoy the trees and flowers when they come back to life. I will sit doing homework looking out the window. I often wish I was outside doing something fantastic. I end up staring out the window more than I do school work. I also tend to gravitate outside when my younger nephews are out there. I generally end up pushing them on the swing set. 


Holiday's are coming they should be entertaining for lack of better words to describe it. I like Thanksgiving only because the day after is Black Friday. There are only a few places I like to go. I used to get there like everyone else as early as possible, but now I take my time. I hit a couple of places especially Bath and Body Works. I love the Peppermint lotion. Its a great wake up smell. 


Anyway.. I hope everyone enjoy's the rest of their semester. I also hope you each pass your classes.. 

Horse meat.. lol..

Horse Meat

I haven't laughed really hard in a long time until I read this title. I personally don't think I am up to eating horse meat. I used to work at Louisiana Downs. In the morning's I would have to drive around to the backside of the track. I enjoyed viewing the racehorses. That is definitely one thing I miss. The power they have is amazing. Where I worked was just on the backside of the grandstands. So when racing was going on you could hear people yell, and cheer for hours. It was fantastic to hear.

I'm not really sure I could eat horse meat. I have a hard time eating beef and chicken. I don't eat deer, rabbit, duck, or any animal. So I'm not really sure how I could eat that. Then you hear stories of people eating cats and dogs. That really grosses me out. I have issues, however, I did find this story interesting. The article says that horse meat is better than cow, but I just can't eat it.

Weekend plans

So my friends and I were supposed to be going to the corn maze this weekend. However, due to a few technical difficulties we aren't. It's alright. Things happen for a reason.

I'm not sure what is in store other than studying for a test next week. And working on class work for my other classes.

This week has really been difficult my father passed away three years ago. I can't stop thinking about him. He was a great father. I miss him all the time. I am beginning not to like the month of October. Last week a friend of mine lost her mother.

 I'm ready for the fair. Not really sure why. I am afraid of heights. The thought of getting off the ground freaks me out. I love flying but cant stand the thought of getting off the ground. I don't eat a lot of the foods but I do like an elephant ear. When we were younger my parents would take us to the fair. We would buy one and split it between 5 people. Those are some of the greatest memories. Now they cost $5.00 or more. They are smaller than I remember them. However, they are still good.

Usually when November gets here things start changing. I'm looking forward to the cooler temperatures. I'm not sure what is in store with the holidays coming. I look forward to a break when school is over this semester.

today

So today was a day! It was the day to end a week that well wasn't all that great. It could be worse I tell myself. I have two great nephews and one turned 5 today. I haven't even had time to buy him anything. What do you buy for a 5 year old who has all the toys he wants? I'm not sure but I will come up with something. I have some Batman balloons in my closet that I bought last year on clearance . I am sure I will have one blew up just for him. He loves Superman, Batman, Ironman, and well anything to do with a superhero man. I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I don't have children mostly by choice. I do, however, have lots of nieces and nephews that I dearly love. The best part about being an aunt. Is spoiling them rotten and then sending them home. The best part is when they really appreciate what you do for them. You know the sleepless nights, the phone calls, the shoulder to lean on, and the laughter. That is what makes memories great.

We celebrated Boss's day today. It was fantastic my sister made a one of a kind cake for them. I have two boss's. They are really great. I have worked for random people before that i was unable to get along with but them they make every feel like they are part of the team. That's what is great about where I work.

My nephews..

I take my oldest nephew to school in the mornings on my way to work. This is his senior year in school. When he graduates May 2012 he will leave for the Marine Corps soon afterwards. I’m going to miss him. We do all kinds of things together such as; the movies, eating out, and playing video games. I am not sure which one we enjoy the most. He is a great person. I hope he stays on the path he is on now and he will succeed at anything. I do encourage him though. I want him to go and see the world. I keep telling him I am going to go visit you. I hope he goes to Japan or Germany. I think it would be fascinating to fly overseas. Well ok I am not sure about that since I am afraid of heights. He wants to go to Japan for the real sushi. That freaks me out only because I like the California Roll (No raw fish). Oh yes I have tried the ever so popular raw fish and I just couldn’t swallow it. I’m not sure if it was the thought of eating raw fish or what. Now my nephew he ate it and was ok with it. That is the only reason I tried it. The things we do for our nieces and nephews.  

Friends and Vacation day..

I have a friend who doesn’t understand school. Almost, every day near lunch time we have the same conversation.  She says, “Do you have a test this week?” I say, “No, but I have papers to write.” She just looks at me as if I just told her a lie. The problem is this; she is used to eating lunch with someone else. I have studied during my lunch time for so long, that when I don’t I panic. I know people who do not attend school outside of high school generally do not understand studying.  On one hand I can understand, but on the other I can’t.  If someone tells you politely they can’t eat with you every day because of homework. I would get the picture especially if I have known them for a year. I do keep telling her, “Don’t worry. When I finish with school we can eat lunch together every day! 

We had a great time on our two day adventure. We ended up in Hot Springs, AR. The weather was perfect at 78 degrees or there about on both days. We walked along Bath House Row, entering in and out of small shops. The next day we visited the only bath house that is open to the public for viewing. It was an interesting piece of history. I took a couple of my school books with me. I was able to read some information as we drove to and from Hot Springs. I really enjoyed just spending time doing nothing. I wish the trip could have lasted longer, but reality sets in when deadlines fast approach. I hope I am able to go on another trip like that before next year.

Out of town

I am going out of town for a couple of days. The little kid in me is happy the adult in me is stressed out. I don’t know how people can go out of town during school. It’s only for a couple of days and technically I can’t study while I am at work but that is not the point. The adult inside says “What is wrong with you?” and the little kid says “It’s about time!” I’m sure many of us have these same thoughts and/or feelings. My sister is ready for me to be finished with school of course for many selfish reasons. I am going out of town with her in fact. She also has a side business that she makes me help her with. So I am looking forward to getting away from everything except my books of course because at some point I will be reading, writing or typing about something. I’m still excited about this coming weekend because I have no idea what we will do or where we will go. I have not been in that situation in awhile. The adult is telling me to cancel all plans and suck it up about not going anywhere in the last few months or at all this year I should say. I am feeling confined and suffocating. I feel like the walls are closing in and the books are stacking up. What to do what to do?? Well I know the answer I am going on a brief road trip. Lol.. The stupid little kid wins this round.. 

Speed Limit

I was driving down I-20 the other day on my way to work. I was in the middle lane and I realized that everyone seemed to be flying past me so I looked down to check my speed and I was driving at 70 mph.  I then moved over to the far right lane to get out of line of traffic. I began to think about when I first started driving almost 20 years ago now. My dad taught me that the far right lane was for slow traffic less than 55 mph, the middle lane was for faster traffic over 55 mph, and the far left lane was for passing only. Those rules have stuck with me for almost 20 years. On my way to work this morning it happened again I was in the middle lane driving at 75 mph this time when a lady in an SUV tried to run over me because I wasn’t going fast enough. I thought “Wow lady I am doing 75 mph”. Then I realized that the lane speeds have changed. The far right lane now is for traffic less than 75 mph, the middle lane is 75 – 85 mph, and the far left lane is 85 mph - ?. When I say “?” it means to whatever because people just get in their vehicles and drive as fast as they can. I often wonder why they are so late and where are they going.  When I speed I think is someone else watching me and are they wondering why I didn’t leave my house sooner? Then when The Texas Department of Transportation changed some of the speed limits on Texas roads it just made me wonder where we are in a hurry to get to so fast. In my opinion the faster you go the faster time speeds by. You can almost see it and wave to it as it passes you by. The people with children in the vehicle are the ones I really don’t understand why they drive so fast.

So this morning 9/16/11 I am driving down interstate at 70 mph when I realized traffic was quickly gaining on me again. I just put on my blinker and moved over to the slow lane. Which now I am beginning to wonder exactly where is this slow lane? 

If tea cups could talk

I was at a friend’s house when I saw a book titled “If tea cups could talk”. I thought what an interesting title. I had never been in her house until that Friday evening and when I looked around my friend’s home I realized that she had a lot of tea cups. The title of the book got me to thinking what would happen if tea cups could talk. What would it say and would it repeat what you and your friends were talking about? When I think of tea cup parties I instantly think of “Alice in Wonderland” which I thoroughly enjoyed the remake featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. I just keep thinking about what a tea cup would say if it could talk. If I had a tea cup that could talk it would probably say random things and laugh hysterically. They all have one thing in common they listen to the stories that are told by the person drinking out of it. Tea cups are just like people they come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes. I found that book very interesting even though I never opened it.

I think the next time I visit my friend I will have to open the book to see what it is about..

My first blog..

This is my first time ever to do a blog. This should be very interesting. When I was younger I loved to write however the older I got the less I write. I think this class will be very good for me.

There will be more to come once I figure out what I am doing.. lol..
