Big Plans!!

For those of you that get to watch the Tech vs. AM game... I am sooo jealous! Yes, that is right, I have to work today. Apparently being the only one out of everyone at work that went to AM still doesn't qualify me to have off to go to the game! It makes me a little irritated!! So, I am about to leave for work. You guys have fun watching the game.

Phenylalanyhistidylglycylanlanylthreonine

Can anyone tell me what that is!? Here is a clue....biochem!!!

Pics for fun

Just a couple of pictures. I am off to bed and have a big day tomorrow.....school and read biochem! I am off of work, but not from school!

This about explains our weekend I guess. I was soo excited about it because I asked off on Saturday to go to the game and clean up a bunch of stuff here at the house. So, Friday kicked it off ok beacuse they came to tear up the concrete in the back yard. The down side of that though was the noise and the shaking!! At first they used a sledge hammer to knock some holes and then they started with the jack hammer. All was well though since it was being done. Then Saturday I got a TON of things done at home. I even was able to detail my car! About three o'clock I started making Ryan and me some soup, and wouldn't you know that at three thiry they call me in to work?! They wanted me to be there right away since two girls ahd called in sick. What could I do tell them not to feed the 5th floor because I had made pther plans?! I hadn't even taken a shower; just a quick bath after I washed my car to get the soap off of me. Needless to say I was in a really pissy mood since they called me on a day I had requested off rather than someone else who had just been given the day off. There are other reasons, but to keep it shorter I will leave it at that! They did need help this morning though again and I told my supervisor not to even bother asking me since I had already come in a day when I had made plans....I am the only person they did not call at four this morning looking for help. :)

I was realy looking foward to the weekend and now I can't wait to start the week. I think it is funny that I look foward to any day that I have off, whether it is a Thursday or a Monday. I love my days off! This week is Thursday so I am really grateful for Thursday to coming rolling in. Sorry all I really have right now is work BS. Ryan and I both were irritated that I had to go to work on Saturday so that is our big highlight of the weekend! I will post a pic of my hair once it is fixed and not just in a ponytail.

Loud House

All my tests are over!!! Yeah! I made great grades too so far. ON Biochem I made a 86!!!!! WOO HOOO!!! Oh and then I made 92 on Essentials and 93 on skyviews exams. I took my stats today but I won't know what I made on that for a while. It felt like I did good though. Tests are over and right in time too...they decided to tear up our backyard today!! They are outside our patio door with a sledge hammer just taking swings at the concrete!! It is crazy becuase the whole house is shaking. I took my crystal down from my shadow baxes just in case they hit too hard and made the glass fall! I will send pics of it all.

I cut my hair on Monday too! She took off two inches all over, layered it again, then thinned it out a lot! Now my ponytail is tiny! She did a really cool technique too that gave my hair more body and volume at the roots. I was pretty worried when I saw who was going to do it because she wsa really young, but she did a great job.

I will post more later when I have more to say and some pics of the things going on around here!

You have got to read this!!!

I really need to study for Biochem tomorrow, but before I get started I wanted everyone to see this! This is what we talked about in my class today!!!

I can't believe it!!

Test Week!

You remember that one week at the beginning of every semester when ALL your teachers have their first tests? Well, that is this week for me. I have Biochem on WEdnesday, Essentials and Skyviews on Thursday and then Stats on Friday. At least my tests aren't all four in one day like a lot of people I know have. Still, I have been reading my biochem book all weekend. I am so tired of it, but I still feel like I have not absorbed any of the info I need to know!

It is a lot cooler here as of this morning. Ryan and I took the dogs for a walk to the park and let them run a while. It was great. Then we let them run in the couryard here too with the neighbor kids chasing them. Star was too prissy and wouldn't play, bue Raider was chasing, running, barking and fetching for about thirty minutes with the kids.

No more rain. It is funny that we actually want it to rain and make sure the water isn't going to get into our hosue and now it won't rain! There are storms all around us, but no rain since we got home.

Yesturday was a rough day at work for me. I found out that I won't get to supervise after all at work. It seems like they are having a surplus of supervisors now and I would only add to the cut in everyone else's supervising hours. My boss didn't tell me this, instead he is kinda slinking away from the thought that he even asked me. He has not said one word to me about it. I guess I can just hope that soon someone will get promoted to another job and I will be able to supervise.

Jordan bought our bridesmaid dresses last night too! Since the wedding is outside in June, the dresses are really light and airy. I am really excited.
For now, I am going to get back to studying. This was just a quick escape for me. Oh and here are a couple of my favorite pics from last weekend.

Catching up...

Sorry I have not written anything in a while. I have had a really hard time getting back into the swing of eveything and catch up on my rest too. Everyday it has been the same...rush to school...rush to work...home..sleep. I really don't mind the sleeping part though! I have my first round of tests next week in all my classes, so I have been trying to stay ahead with all my classes.

Oh and I know most of you know by now, but Ryan and Ihad some really great findings when we got home. Ryan had left the de-humidifier hose out of the sink so we had a soaking counter top and plus wet carpet...again! It stunk so bad in the house. Luckily, the carpet is dry, we have padding now and they steam cleaned them too to get out some mildew. Next on the agenda is having the slab fixed. I will keep you updated!

The rain has gone, but problems arise!

So yesturday I discovered what I thought was an accident by one of the dogs infront of our patio door....only it wasn't. Turns out it had been raining so much, water was actually getting into our house and soaking the carpet! I could step on the carpet and have water jump between my toes. It reminded me of "the flood" and of the first water that came in from Mom's closet. Needless to say I freaked out a bit because of that, but all is well. We got the carpet guys out here today since it finally stopped raining!!! They ripped up the carpet and tore out the padding about five feet away from both of the doors, now we have fans in our living room drying it all out. We will see what tomorrow brings now! They were forecasting more rain. Good thing we have renter's insurance!! :)



You can see the little blower we have in our living room in the pic. It is small, but pretty loud!!




Ryan and I made it to the Tech game on Saturday. I wanted to share this one billboard that we really liked.



I have been crazy busy. Today was my first really long day. I had my lab at seven thirty this morning, had class until three twenty and then had to be at work by three thirty! Ryan is so sweet and every Tuesday and Thursday he meets me in the parking lot with a snack and a hug. That makes things a lot better. Plus he is cooking supper a lot too. With taking biochem this semester, I really won't have time to slack off too much on homework and quizzes.

Star made us both really pissed the other night. To begin with she HATES the rain. When it is raining you might as well just put her straight into the bathroom as punishment because even if you throw her onto the grass to potty, she runs back to the door, then we spank her, put her back on the grass and it just keeps going. Anyway, this had been going on Friday and Saturday and Ryan and I were just about to leave her on the back porch except it was cold too. She hadn't went potty outside all day, so Sunday night we took her out. It started all the same with putting her in the grass. This time though the neighbors opened their garage door to leave and she took off! Little Miss ran underneath his car and would not come out! Ryan and I were laying on the garage floor with treats and coxing her out for about fifteen minutes. Grrrrr She got a real nice spank and then slept in the downstairs bathroom all night. Plus we were both really embarassed.

Rain, Rain and More Rain

Mom was pretty astonished when I told her it was raining here on Friday, but it has not stopped! Yesturday it did stop just long enough for the football game, even though it started drizzling right at the beginning of the fourth quarter. That is when we left so that we wouldn't get sick. We had plans to take care of a bunch of stuff during the day yestruday and then some today, but when it is yucky outside you just don't want to do anything! Instead, I have been cleaning and getting binders organized for my classes. Oh another thing about the weather here lately...it is chilly! I wore a jacket to the game and was cold still and then we have the AC turned off completely and it feels great!! I love it when it finally turns to a comfortable fall chilly. I am sorry that it isn't cooler at home for the rest of you. At least the warm weather will be good for the beach next weekend!! I am super excited about that! See you guys soon!
