My Weekend

Tonight, after class gets out, I am driving four hours to my hometown. On Saturday we are going dress shopping for my bridesmaids and getting my dress fitted. Saturday is my Bridal Shower. We had to do the bridal shower super early so all of the old ladies could still come and not have to drive in the snow. This all seems so weird to me. Like I can't believe it's really happening. Wow. My mind is boggled trying to figure out how this even happened. Like just the other day I was graduating high school and now I'm in my third year of college and getting married!! Yikes! Well anyways it's all pretty exciting and I'm super stoked to go home. I hope you all have a perfectly grand weekend here in dreary Lewiston. I'm going home to be surrounded by my magnificent Cuddy Mountains in my cozy little valley. :) See ya!

Skorts

Today my brother came to visit. Actually, he came to take a tour of U of I. He's only a sophomore, but I suppose that's about the time they're telling kids to start looking at schools now. Anyways, we went out to lunch and there was a girl sitting across from us who got up to go to the bathroom. She was wearing a skort. My brother sighed and went back to his food. I asked "what was that about?" "She was wearing a skort... I don't understand skorts," he said looking very perplexed. "What don't you understand?" I asked. Then he replied, as serious as can be, "Well, it's a skirt in the front and shorts in the back.... it's like a mullet for you butt." I laughed so hard I think I might have died for a few seconds from lack of oxygen.

Interlocked.

When I was younger, I always held hands with my boyfriend with our fingers interlocked. That's how all the young people held hands. When I saw a young couple holding hands with their hands only cupped around one another's, I thought "How weird, that's how old people hold hands." The other day I was walking with Tyler, and I noticed that our fingers weren't interlocked!!!! When did this happen?! What does it mean?? I instantly switched and twined my fingers in with his and I HATED it! If I wanted to get away to go look at something I had to untangle my sweaty hand from his and it was incredibly uncomfortable and inconvenient. This must have happened awhile ago. I don't know the exact moment, but it has happened. *Sigh* I'm getting older every day. This is the way life goes of course, we can't get younger every day. But every once in awhile life has to smack you in the face to remind you that life is happening. Right now. Now, I wouldn't say this was a smack exactly, more of a pinch maybe. Still, it did the trick. At the moment I'm trying to take life a little less seriously and enjoy it. It is difficult with all this homework.. but I'm trying. Anyways this was my epiphany for the week. Glad I could share it with you :)

Maybe? Maybe not.

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo. I need to decide soon because if I do, I want to do it before the wedding which is in like three months. I'm thinking one on my foot.... I dunno. It's just something I've been thinking about. Maybe something with my favorite bible verse, which is John 16:33. Maybe you should all give me ideas or opinions (if you can even get a comment to go through). I want something small and on the side of my foot that I can hide wearing flats. I'm kinda freaked out to do permanent things to my body because when I was 18, I got my bellybutton pierced. I took it out a year ago and it's STILL not all the way closed up. Anyways, this has been on my mind today and I thought HEY! I should blog about this, because I'm still not blogging every day like I'm supposed to. *sigh*. It will get easier, I'm sure. So hey, give me opinions if you can :).

Thursday

I'm still sucking at writing everyday. But at least I know I'm sucking right? No, I don't think that makes it any better. I just need to do better. *sigh* Well anyways. It's Thursday. Thursday is my Friday and today was definitely a friday sort of day. I had no motivation and no energy. I have one class left and I haven't finished the homework for it. I'm procrastinating that of course. On a happier note, my dad and brother are coming up tomorrow to watch the U of I game on Saturday and they are staying with me for awhile. I'm pretty excited because I haven't seen them in over a month. So now I have to go clean my apartment to prepare for their arrival. After that I will frantically finish the homework for my 4:30 class since I will have procrastinated for much too long. Wish me luck!

aliveness

MY COMPUTER IS ALIVE!!!!! It is fixed and almost good as new. I now have no excuse for not blogging on a daily basis. I do have many things to write about at the moment because for the last week I have been writing them down as I think of them. Right now though, it is off to bed for me. I have a pounding headache and an 8:00 class tomorrow.

p.s. The remaining four fish are still alive... Mr. Frog also. :)

Tuesday

So I haven't made a blog in a few days. I know I'm supposed to write every day, but most of the time when I'm in bed at midnight is when I remember that I forgot to do it. People who remember things at midnight when they are in bed generally don't get up to fix whatever they forgot. I'm definitely one of those people, so my blog hasn't been getting done. But I will try to do better, I promise.
Today is Tuesday. Tuesday's are awful. I go to school from 8:00 until 3:30 and I work at 5:00 until about 9:30 or 10:00. So by the time I'm out of class, I have to go home, eat dinner, do as much homework as possible in about 45 minutes time, and get ready for work. Then I go to work for a few hours and come home and finish all of my homework. It's completely exhausting. Anyways, that's how my day is going. I sure hope yours is better. If not, I feel your pain.
