Supposidly A Quick Update...

Bryan and I went down to my mom's.
My little sister got sick with strep.
She gave it to my little cousin
and my mom.

I got to see my aunt Kimmy.
She's so beautiful.
Her and my mama both.

My grandparents looked good.
I got to run around looking for film with my grampa.
We were in search of good film.
It was so great talking with him.
He's such a wonderful man.
The best anyone can ever meet.
I married one of the few left that are like him.

My grama is so wonderful herself.
The epitome of what all women should strive to be.
And my grampa what all women deserve.
They are beautiful together.

They also got a kitty.
My grampa doesn't like cats...
However, he was caught sleeping with Simba on his chest.
Simba the kitty is so tiny.
Bryan played for two hours with him.
Bryan wore out before the cat did.
When Simba finally did he fell asleep on me.
Slept near my neck...
so tiny.
Teeny tiny...

In other news:
Bryan started his new job today.
We got to sleep in til 8:15.
Woo-hoo.
He had a good day.
I hope I can be as happy as he is with his job.
He's doing what he loves.
Programming to him is what art is to me.
I'm so happy for him.

A big blanket and tea sounds awfully nice...

It's so cold out.
The wind is strong and makes it colder.
You can hear it while inside.
Sounds like people are wrestling-
on the outside of our third story apartment.

Bryan and I have a new roommate.
My brother-in-law's fiancee has moved in.
Long story but for your entertainment:
Her parents are stupid
and very manipulative.
She's fed up and said she was leaving.
So they kicked her out
and said she could only have what
she could take right then and there.
So she only has a bag of clothes
and her bedding.
That's it.
But they said she's more than welcome
to come back...

Anyway,
We told her we'd take care of her.
I'm sure she thinks we're angels
comparatively to her parents.
Especially since they were severely strict.
It was nuts the rules they'd enforce.
Then being happy with her one moment
and the next being disappointed because
she didn't do what they wanted.
Oh the stories I could tell
(second hand of course).

I've made another painting.
It's really cool.
Since my mom and I feed off each other
I put a twist on something she did.
It's always fun when we do that.

School is cool.
That's right,
I went there.
I'm getting A's in all my classes
except for one which may be a B or C.
Very sweet.
I'm actually nervous
that I won't keep it that way.
Ack!

Photography is awesome.
We're learning to develop our film.
So now I get to figure out
how to load the stinkin' camera
and then take pictures.
I'm way more pleased with my digital
that way I can delete as I please.
Oh well,
Maybe I'll just be that more awesome at it.
Hopefully.

I have to go to the dr.'s tomorrow.
7:30 in the morning-
That's crazy.
I didn't know the day started until eight!

We also have Capoeira tonight.
That means I have to go back out in the cold.
But it's so cold out.
The wind is strong and makes it colder.
You can hear it while inside...

Doot doo doo...

I had a good weekend.
On Sunday we realized we could have gone to see my family.
It's Mattie's birthday tomorrow is why.
(Happy Birthday sweetie.. the Big 0-5)

But we did nothing-
At all.
It was great.

I have a test on Thursday.
A BIG test.
I'm excited.

I made note cards for it-
Then I got made fun of for them-
By people my age...
I thought we were in fifth grade for a moment.
However, I knew just about everything on everything...
And I'm gonna ace the test.
So booya.

The house is a mess.
It always gets that way after the weekend.
I come home early today so I'll clean it.
Bryan works really hard so I hate to leave it.

I had my Algerbra test on Friday.
I'm hoping for a C but I may, may have a B.
Here's hopin.

Last night there was yelling outside our window.
It made me nervous.
Sometimes I wonder why we moved to this part of the city.
That would be my bad.
But the rent is way good for the apartment we have.
Can't complain too much.

I've been doing lots of thinking lately.
More than the usual anyway.
In that thinking there are a lot of realizations...
And new understandings.
Not to mention wants...
Hopes and dreams.

...Lots of thinking...

Once Upon A Time...

So, I stole this entry from Karadyan's site. So, making sure to give her credit, it's a very good entry and I feel the exact same way with a few moderations.. Sorry Karadyan but I didn't have asthma.

I miss being a little girl. Everything was so much easier then. The only boys that hurt me were bullies that didn't want to admit they liked girls. My hospital visits were because of checkups, not depression. Money wasn't an issue, and no meant no. Mom's opinions were all that mattered, And the only person I needed watching over me was Jesus. Walking around barefoot was less dangerous, and splinters were the only daily drama. Selling lemonade on the corner made me enough money to last and we played barbies instead of gossipping. Playing with people meant playing actual games, and you could only cheat on a test. "Best friend" was more than just a title, friends forever didn't seem so impossible, and laughing wasn't a chore. Curfew was when it was dark, all my friends lived within walking distance and the neighbors didn't care if we played in their yards. Walking to McDonalds or the pool was exciting for us because we got to cross the railroad tracks. I cried over scraped knees and elbows, not broken hearts. We were more concerned with each other's well being than the newest zit on our own face. Pinky promises actually meant something and "getting away" meant going to the treehouse next door. It wasn't so hard to love each other and we didn't notice each other's imperfections. Yes, I miss being a little girl.

Updating....

Everything is well.
I'm still getting over the last of my cold from what seems forever ago.
I just hope I'm not getting sick again.
That would suck.
School is going well.
I have a test on Thursday in Biology.
A possible quiz today in Algerbra... or friday -She's trying to be tricky.
But on a good note I'm getting lots of exercise from walking on this dang large campus.
So that's nice.
Bryan and I are trying to save money so we can pay off our loans and the credit card.
Because it's our gas card we're having a hard time getting it down.
That means limiting our driving especially down to play Capoeira.
It uses a quarter of a tank everytime we go to play.
It's crazy.
Target called and wants to interview me for the bakery dept.
I don't know if it'll work anyway because they may want me to work from 4am til noon.
That's just crazy.
I like my sleep and really I don't do well before 7:30ish but 8 is better.
A nap sounds good...
