spring breakitis

 well first things first, i've got a bad case of spring breakitis.  i don't feel like doing anything. it's been bad all week, but particularly today.  luckily i only have one dinner, one sorority activity, one art project, one night's sleep, one breakfast, one class, and one test before i can go hommmmme.  and luckily, i didn't have to plan said sorority activity, said art project is almost done, said test is online and open book, and said class is parachute activities in pe  :)  i've been so terrible all week, especially the past 2 days, i keep telling myself, yeah i'll just do that after the break, or yeah i'll be remotivated after the break, haa.  this has truly been the longest week of the year.  no bueno.

tuesday, michael decided he was going on a texting fast.  he's only been home 2 weeks, isn't it a little soon to be on a texting fast?  moral of the story, i miss texting him already.  pathetic, right? i need to get over my addiction.  seriously. ha ha.  

today at work i attempted to redesign my blog but then decided against it, but it deleted all my blog lists and people i follow, so if you don't see your name over there ----> and it used to be, tell me and i'll re-add it, i just couldn't remember everyone.   

i really, really like ballroom dance class.  i love the things we are learning, and i love knowing how to dance better.  especially right now we are doing the waltz, which has always been one of my favorites!  however.  today i was yet again awakened to the brutal reality that i really stink at it.  i want to be good but i'm just not, and it's totally embarrassing in class!  either i try to lead the guy, or i get lost in thought and don't pay attention to what the guy is trying to do so we clash knees, or i step on his feet, or put my feet in the wrong place so he steps on mine, or am counting so much in my head an concentrating so hard i forget to talk to the person i'm dancing with, or start singing along with the song playing and make a complete fool of myself.  it's awesome.  daddy, we'll need to practice over the break.  deal?  

one of my favorite parts about college is pictured below:

 that's right.  everyone has to have their own condiments.  four roommates.  five mayo/miracle whip bottles.  tell me how that adds up.

has been taken to a whole new level.

certainly.

and just when you're certain 

you're more certain than 
you've ever been before, 
uncertainty creeps and 
crawls in, banishing certainty until you're not only certain that you've never been this uncertain before, but also certain that you could never be certain about anything again. 


certainly

aggiemail is smart.

on my e-mail page you can pick different themes to put as the background or whatev, so last week i switched it to this sunshiney scene with a lovely green leafy tree to make me happy about springtime approaching.  yesterday in logan, what started as a light jacket day turned into a parka day.  and it snowed.  when I logged onto my e-mail last night, the sun was gone, the formerly blue sky was gray, and there were snowflakes falling on the screen.  The once green tree was covered in white and the ground was totally white too. 

i'm glad my computer knows what the weather is like 
outside and can adjust accordingly. 

the prince dies

a while back my roommates decided to buy all these
fish and name them after boys they had dated that they
now hate.  (go figure).  they also bought 2 frogs that
they named things such as prince charming and prince
phillip.  i think the idea was to see how long it took
for the hated to die.  today one of the princes died.
i find this ironic and hilarious.  sorry, whitney! 
on a happier note, check this out.  i found it on my lovely friend katie jane's page, and just about died laughing watching it.  e.n.j.o.y.

coreman

my not-so-little coleman turned 18 today!

i remember the day he was born grammy 

took parker and i to buy him new toys and i 

really wanted to buy him this sweet rattle 

but she said no, it was too hard and made 

me buy this ugly green but real soft one.  

i wasn't happy.  at least i got a new brother :) 

coleman's pretty much the coolest kid i know.  

happy #18, sir coleman!  love you!

heels that hurt

"you got your feet squeezed into heels that hurt 

cuz they go with the job and they go with the skirt, 

you gotta look good when you're out there climbing ladders.  

you go above and beyond, then way beyond that

you do it all, yeah you wear every hat 

hopin' someone that matters will realize you matter. 

but all that really matters is it's friday

and the sun is shinin' over my way

toss your heels in the backseat, 

drive home in your barefeet...

...just be you when you're with me, 

girl you got nothin' to prove..." 

i wish i had nothin' to prove

i'm going to kill the fish tank

you know your life is wayyy too busy when you 

consider going on a trip to the grocery store 

with a friend a meaningful hangout . . . 

it smells like spring today, and as whitney said, there are 

real live birds lurking about recently.  makes me smile!   

if that stupid fish tank makes that annoying popping noise one more time i swear i'm going to throw it across the room.

6 am departure

 last night michael and i were happily on our way to
a fireside.   we'd been together maybe 2 minutes
when his car totally broke down on the freeway. 

awesome. 

but all in all it was a happy night :)
