So something to think about ...

So I got this email from my momma this morning and I must say that this poem is pretty much amazing... ENJOY.
I was shocked, confused, and bewildered as I entered Heaven's door
Not by the beauty of it all nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners , the alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal? I would love to hear your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here? God must've made a mistake.
'And why's everyone so quiet so somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock. No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
Anyhoo, thought people wound enjoy reading that.
Today has been really good actually. I think I'm getting sick though which really really sucks monkey toes. I'm trying to stay healthy for this weekend. Who knows? We'll see...
Well guess I better get back to work. Hope everyone has great day! :) Much love!

When you come to a fork in the road ...

.. it sucks!!!

I'm faced with a dilemma [well, it would be classified as a dilemma in a girl's world anyways .. LoL]

But both forks lead to great things. That is what makes it harder for me. I could be just over thinking everything that is involved with this but I just don't know what to do. But then again, I may not have to choice anything. It may work itself out ...

Oh the difference in people...

So this idea for a blog just popped into my mind... It amazes me how different people can be and how different people treat people.. Let me explain:

So there is this guy that I'm kinda "seeing" [we'll call him 'J'] and by 'kinda seeing' I mean we are getting to know each other, we hang out, have fun, ya know - the usual. We haven't set a title to us, which I like cause that means we aren't rushing into anything. We just take it a day at a time and we are both cool with that. Like I said in my previous post, if we wanna hang out with each other, we just text and sometimes we each get the 'i'm busy doing homework', 'maybe later', 'i'm tired' and we're cool with that and we move on to something else. So moving on - in the short amount of time this semester that we've gotten to know each other, he is the most respectful and kind guy that I've gotten close to in a loooong time. He's left me notes when he's came over and that just warms my heart. This past weekend he borrowed my car [i know what some of ya'll are thinking, however, we did battle it out before i told him yes.. haha!] to go home to see his momma and daddy. When he got back today, he did the 3 following things that just warmed my heart even MORE and put him at the top of my list:

1. Told me THANK YOU, that he appreciated me & gave me a hug [& meant it all!]
2. Filled my car up with gas [when he took the car, it only had 1/4th of a tank!]
3. Brought me breakfast [he woke me up at like 11 this morning]

Then he proceeded to make me laugh with some funny stories from the weekend and anyone that knows me knows that if you can make laugh, you've won me over! haha! :) I think what just really wins me over also is that fact that we aren't even boyfriend/girlfriend. The more I get to know him the more and more I'm starting to see the true gentleman he is and girls, that is not easy to find ... especially in Wichita Falls.

Ok - so let me get back to the point of this post. One of my best friends has been going with her guy [we'll call 'ungrateful'] for almost a year now and he is complete A$$. He doesn't appreciate her at all and she dotes on him so much. She is such a great girlfriend and he doesn't do jack-$hit to show his appreciation for her. He fails to even recognize that they are even dating and I always get the vibe that he is trying to 'hide' her from friends and family. It just sickens me sometimes because she is such a great person with such a kind heart. And I got to thinking tonight, of all the things 'J' has done for me in the short amount of time we've been hanging out, 'ungrateful' hasn't done any of them. No notes, no breakfast, no THANK YOUs, etc...

So the point being: it baffles me how a dude that isn't even my boyfriend can treat me sooo much nicer than a dude treats his girl of a year. It just always amazes me how different people can really be sometimes ...

A whole different day ...

Soooo I'm feeling ALOT better now! Thank goodness for that. :) I put all my friends through so much hell last week and I hated it. I did not like the person I was becoming at all! But with one quick call to the doctor, we got it all switched out and all is well now!

Today my brain is mush. I had a test and a midterm today and I'm just soooo tired. But hey, that's college life. And I have a paper due on Thursday that I should prolly get finished up. Next week is gonna be a killer as well. The more I look at it, every week till Thanksgiving break is gonna be a killer! Oh well - I'll get through it! Have no choice .. haha!

This weekend was a good one. Saturday was pretty much dedicated to studying my brains out. Didn't step outside once at all. Then on Sunday is when the real adventure began! My two wonderful friends Luke and Katelyn took me to their hometown of Sachse. Sooo much fun! It was the break that I needed! Left at 8:30 in the morning and jammed out to some old school stuff. *couch*NSYNC*cough*Backstreet Boys* oh I think some 98 degrees was thrown in there somewhere too! It was so much fun and I love them 2 like a brother and sister so it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday! :) We jammed on the way back to some good 'ole country music. Well let me re-phrase that... Luke and I sang our little hearts out while Katelyn looked at us like we were losing our minds. haha! Them two really helped me get out of my funk too. I just heart them so much! :)

So far this week is going good. Just those tests have taken a toll on me. I'm just ready for this weekend because I MIGHT be going home so dad can take a look at my car. It'll be a nice break for a while.

So let's get on to the REAL reason people read this blog: the boy situation is going good. I love how we work too. There is no pressure to call or text or anything. If we want to hang out, we'll just text each other and sometimes we get the response of "i'm studying" or "maybe tomorrow" and we're cool with that. We're just having fun getting to know each other and I like how relaxed we both are. And we don't have a title either, which I like. We have talked about it though. So we'll see on that.

Still haven't decided if I'm gonna go snowboarding with my best guy friend yet. I really want to and then I don't. There are just so many factors that are good and then so many factors that are bad. *sigh* I have until the 31st to make up my mind. What should I do guys?!?!

Well I better get back to work! Thought I'd update ya'll [well by request!! haha!] on what is going on and that I'm doing ALOT better!!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far! Much love to ya'll! :)

For once...

...I wish people would find out what's going on with me before a judgment is made on me. I understand I haven't been my normal upbeat self this week due to this new medicine, however, it's not like I'm doing it on purpose...

Oh the lovely adventures that make our lives..

Soo um wow it's been a while since I've blogged!! Let's get reacquainted shall we...

Oh where do I begin?! Let's see... went home for the WT -vs- MSU game. Sooo good to be home! LOVED IT! I love how they start the parade with running the buffalo down the street to kick it off! And as always, the fair food was UH-MAZING! :) Corndogs and funnel cakes, ya can't go wrong!! And to top it off I go to see two of my old high school friends who I haven't seen since graduation!!! Pretty much awesome. But then I did realize how much we all have changed. But it was good to see them though.

However, the game on the other hand was just not that great. First off, it rained and delayed the game for 45 minutes. Thank goodness for thinking ahead and taking umbrellas. It was fun though cause some people embraced it, while others hated it. But my family and I had a blast with it! One thing I like about WT games is that they play some awesome music before the game and it's stuff that you can really jam out to. Great stuff. Also, the buffalo took a dump on the field before the game started. Priceless and hilarious all at the same time. MSU didn't win the game. :( Heck, I don't even think the team showed up. jk. WT is just an amazing team though and they did a great job. We ended up leaving after 3rd quarter cause of my hell-acious headache. It was such a horrible headache that ended with me sleeping for like 12 hours straight.

But it was a great weekend at home. Nice 3 day one. Only sucky thing was that I had to go to the doctor. No bueno. But now at least I know what's wrong with me. Haha! And it involved me and my mother having a bonding experience for sure!!! Haha! But it was a great time at home. Wish I could go home more often but that's just how the cookie crumbles. <-- yes, totally just took that from "Bruce Almighty."

Although that weekend could NOT have landed on a WORSE weekend. This week I had 2 tests and a quiz and plus with it being HOMECOMING week full of madness, I needed that weekend to stay here and get things ready. But it all worked out in the end.

So Homecoming is this week. Always LOVE the week!! One thing that saddens my heart is that this is my first year that I didn't compete in the Banner competition. 2 out of the 3 times I've done it for UPB, we've placed. And I still have all those banners too chilling in my closet at home. I love them though. So much work goes into them and you just feel so proud to see it hanging in the atrium. Bonfire was last night. Sooo much fun! Thursday was just an awesome day in general. Bonfire and torchlight is just a blast anyways. My favorite part is at first we are all crowded around the bonfire and then as soon as they light it, WHOOSH, we all back up!! It's like we can't back up fast enough! haha! And more fun came afterwards when we went out to the Alpha party ... Oh lordy lordy!

First off, managed to rope in Franny to go with me. Sooo glad I did! It was quite the experience for him! Didn't get out there til midnight (which is usually my bed time.) got up to the door and showed our ID and went up to pay cover charge. Let's just say it's awesome to have connections and not pay full price. We get in and it was nice cause it wasn't too crowded. There was just enough people to where you could walk through and not be afraid to grab someone's ass or chest. Although some people like that. However I am not one of those. So we get in, get some drinks (a lovely bacardi and coke for I), find AnTuan and begin the fun. And let me tell ya, we DID have fun. Let me ask something: Do people REALLY look at themselves in the mirror before they leave their place and go "Damn! I'm hot stuff!" Cause I really think all those people were in that joint that night. I mean, I'm no Cindy Crawford or anything but I try to look pretty nice when I go out. But holy moses... Let me just make a list for you of what our eyes saw that evening:

* A 60 year old white lady with a black cocktail dress pop-lock-and dropping it
* 2 little people getting their grove on
* Some air force base men who we really think were in the wrong place
* A guy who totally could have passed as santa clause ... should've have introduced to grandma
* A guy who we really think had on grandma's night gown for the fact that it went past his knees
* A guy with a gold grill that threw up all the liquor that was in his stomach and he had his pants down where you could see his underwear.. AND to top it off, he was shaking everyone's (ours not included) hands on his way out.. priceless
* Blueberry .. enough said on that.
* Proof that a white girl can break it down and show them how it's done ..
* Dance moves that would make Micheal Jackson even go "WTF?"

It was just a hilarious and fantastic evening! I'm so glad we ended up going out! However Friday was not kind to my body! Haha! But it's all in being an adult I guess!

So we lost our own Homecoming game. Pretty sad. I guess I was wishing for a repeat of last years score of 73-6. Oh what a game that was!! haha! But the fireworks were great as always and we had a great time though and that's all that really matters! Kalen came into town and that is ALWAYS a blast within itself! :)

Got invited to go to Keystone, Colorado for a week in December after finals for only $150.00. (plus spending money and splitting gas cost) Pretty pumped about that. My parents however, not too pumped cause that means I'm not gonna be home as early as they thought for Christmas break. But this friend that I'm going with will be leaving MSU after this semester and I want us to able to leave on a good foot. Cause I must admit, for a while it wasn't looking too great. So I think it will be fun! :)

So lately I love how little things have really brightened my day. The other night I got a note from a friend and it just made me smile. It made me see that people really do appreciate the things I do. Which in turn makes me smile. A smile for a smile. :)

Well I'm still deciding if I want to go out tonight or not. I guess I should go figure that out! :) Hope everyone else has a great rest of the weekend! :) Much love to all!
