tag from kristen

so 10 facts about myself? hmmmmm.

1. i hate driving! i don't care if it's traffic or not... i don't know why but if someone else can drive i want them to! lol. and i have major road rage. people are so dumb!

2. i'd rather not pay full price. what is the point of paying full price for clothes if you can go back 2-4 weeks later and get it on sale? and that doesn't mean i'm cheap! ha ha.

3. i love keeping my closet clean. i mean we spend so much money on clothes.. why not take care of them? my room may look like a tornado went through it but my closet looks perfect lol. i like having it organized. i have shirts on one side, pants on one side, and sweaters and dresses on the other. then i have all of my purses on the shelves. i really need to clean those out one day because most of them i will never use again!

4. i cannot turn my mind off. i always find myself daydreaming or thinking about other things. like in class... they will be lecturing and i keep drifting off and coming back. ha. and at work.. a customer will be talking to me or asking me a question.. and i'll be like.. wait.. what? ha ha. obviously i have no interest in what they are saying. lol. but the worst is at night when i'm trying to fall asleep. i can count on anywhere from 30 min to 3 hrs before i fall asleep. and believe me.. i've tried every trick in the book!

5. i love the Christmas season. i mean.. i love the day to. but the season is just the fun of it. all of the decorations, wrapping, cold weather. and just the mood you know. and the music of course. i listen to christmas music all during december. i love it. 99.1 plays it all the time and when they have commercials i have a cd! ha ha.

6. i am very picky. that probably isn't a good thing.. but that's just me i guess. a few examples are i have to do laundry my way. everything has to be folded and hung how i like it! and i am picky about food.. you couldn't tell by looking at me.. lol. but i don't like and won't touch and don't like the smell of certain foods.

7. i love making good grades. i mean i don't mean to sound ignorant but it just makes you feel good about yourself.. like you accomplished something you know.

8. i like staying in a routine... i like having a set schedule every week you know. i'm type A personality so i don't like anything spur of the moment lol.

9. i don't like any conflict. i don't like anyone or thinking that anyone is mad at me. it bugs me and it's all i can think about. i hate feeling guilty too.

10. i love when God answers little prayers. i don't know if i'm the only one who expierences this. but like it'll be something small like Lord, please don't let it rain when i have to walk to my next class. and sure enough it won't and right when i walk into my class it starts raining! it's little stuff that works out that way and you know it's a God thing!

a few thoughts...

in honor of fall and november being next week i wanted to put this picture up... it makes me laugh. lol.

ok so this morning i was thinking that i was determined to post again before another month went by... but i could'nt really think of anything to write about... anyway i was watching the Ellen show earlier this afternoon. i love watching it.. it's hilarious and so is she. the only thing that gets me is that we have totally different political views and today she said something that got on my nerves so bad. she said something about how Palin is trying to change the constitution by saying she wants to outlaw gay marriage. ok what in the world is she talking about??? they changed the constitution when they made gay marriage legal! we have to remember that the constitution is based on the Bible! and in the Bible marriage is between a man and woman. i don't know what constitution she is reading! gosh that makes me so mad! anyway... i just had to put that out there! oh and one more thing... what is the big deal about Elisabeth wearing a McCain tshirt on the view yesterday?? if Joy or Whoopi wore an Obama shirt they would make a big deal if Elisabeth said something!

anyway... i'm kind of excited about how christmas is working out. see.. i was worried that i wouldn't be able to be off the same days mom was... i thought christmas was on the weekend for some reason. but i looked on the calander and christmas eve is wednesday and christmas is thursday! so that works out perfect! i'm really looking forward to it. i'm going to get all of my shopping done before thanksgiving to beat most of the crowds. and wait to wrap in december.. cause that's just the fun of it!

today me and mom went to olive garden for lunch and it was nice to go just the two of us you know... then we ran by old navy real quick. i wanted to see if they had the velour suits. and sure enough they did! i grabbed like 3 different sizes to try on. i had no idea what i would wear since i'm in between sizes. anyway.... i got navy blue. they had that, black and light pink. light pink wouldn't be very flattering head to toe and so i thought the blue would be good so you can wear black or brown or whatever color with it. it's kinda funny cuz average inseam isn't too long for me (except for dress pants) and nina is taller than me and she has to get short inseam.. i guess i have longer legs and she has a longer torso. i told the cashier that i wanted to get them now because last year i waited until it was actually cold to go look for one and they were all out. ha ha. i also got another pair of just like gray pants and they are fleece on the inside.

oh and one more thing. i get paid this friday but the next check i will have over $1,000 in my savings! i'm excited. of course it will get pretty much wiped out when i pay tuition next semester but hey that's better than a loan! i've been putting half of each check in there and it's adding up pretty quick.

so i guess that's all for now.. hope you all have a great rest of the week.

just a little update

ok so it feels like i JUST posted that i couldn't believe it was september and here it is.. october! september flew.. i think partly because of the hurricane and evacuating. it broke up the month and i didn't have school/work.
Anyway... nothing new is really going on. school started back up this week... alot of the campus got messed up and they had a big list of class relocations. luckily only one of mine moved.. my reading class/lab. it was in A building and now it's moved to S building which is obviously clear across campus. so here was my dilimma... my first class is in S and my second is in C with only 10 mins in between. it takes my friend about 7 min to walk from S to the cafe and the cafe is only half way to C building. sooo obviously walking was out because it would take me like 15 mins. so i have to park in front of the S building and then when class is over go and park in the main parking lot. so i tried that yesterday and it went well but it was easier having all of my classes closer together you know.. but oh well i'll get used to it. so anyway it's kinda cool having a class in the S building because that is where all of the health/science classes are in.. all of the nursing classes are in there too. you can see in all of the classrooms cuz they are just windows and the door is glass.. kinda like the patients rooms on the tv show house. so when i'm walking to class i can see people like sticking tubes down those plastic peoples throats and they have hospital beds and stuff too.. just stuff like that. it's pretty cool to see. that will be me one day! the semester was just extended 3 days and that will be finals week. so it's not bad.. i missed 5 class days so i'm glad i don't have to make all of those up!
so i guess that is about it oh and don't forget voter registration in texas ends on monday i think.. so don't forget about that! i don't want to hear anyone complain if obama gets elected and they didn't vote! every vote counts.. wouldn't you kick yourself if mccain lost by one vote?
peace out.
