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!

Man where do I start!? I have been crazy busy between work and school so far. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will have to go straight from class to work..literally. My class is over at 3:20 and I am technically late to work at 3:30. My boss should understand that it is impossible to get there in time though and should not count me late. My classes are good though. Biochem is kinda scary, but I think I might like it. One of my classes requires a lab, but not just ny lab...I have to work at the Tech restaurant doing all the prep work. Since I have done that kind of stuff before, I really don't think I will mind doing the work, just the early morning time.

Raider's girlfriend from the apartments is coming over on Sunday to see him. I ran into my friend from the apartments and she was all excited about bringing her dog over. Apparently her dog, Lady, never plays with other dogs, just Raider and it is a really cute flirt-play! I am super excited about this weekend because I am off. Ryan and I will be going to the football game and then getting more supplies we have to have for school. Anyway, I need to go to bed.

Quick Catch up!

Not too much new around here. Friday Ryan had fun taking care of me and Mom and Sue got a call from me! I smashed my finger at work and I couldn't get it to stop throbbing still six hours after I did it!! Ouch! Luckily, I don't think I will have to have it drained, buddy wrapping it was just enough to get through it all.

School starts tomorrow. Ryan is already asleep and I will be heading there soon. I have class from ten til twelve. Not bad at all. Plus I am off tomorrow, so that gives me some time to get a parking permit and look into my books that I need.

Here is a quick pic of the new Wal Mart. I am really impressed. It does not look like all the other ones I have seen!

New Job!

It looks like all that working in the morning and putting up with silly stuff at work is paying off! My boss asked me Thursday, (but we actually discussed it today) if I would like to be a supervisor!! Woo hoo!! It doesn't sound all that great, but I will be staying downstairs the whole time I am at work, taking temps., loading the carts, etc etc. Basicly I will be the one in charge at night when all the managers are gone! There are perks to it and pitfalls, but right now I am just honored taht he asked me. I will start out as a back up if someone gets sick or the other three supers are gone. Then eventually just be supervising and not delivering trays at all. It is another step up and it will look really great on my application for internships and for jobs.

Just like everyone else's posts, I am pretty tired. Ryan and I decided along with a new school year, we would start new habbits. After work tonight we went jogging. Plus, we are making better plans for cooking and snacks during the year! Healthier lifestyles. Kinda like a New Year's resolutin with a new school year. So, I think I will follow in Amanda's footsteps and just post a couple of pics.



This is a picture from the wedding yesturday. Ryan looked awesome in his suit! Everyone thought I made him wear it, but the truth is that he picked it out. I just helped pick out the tie!!



He is a picture of my new additions in my room. I now have art above my bed and then new curtains! My room is soo much cooler during the day now.



Another project finished. Now I have to buy some more crystal to put in them! ;)

Saturday Smash

Wow today was an exhausting day! I thought Tuesday and Wednesday were, but I was really wrong. Satruday started with me waking up at four forty five to go to work. I vowed taht I would not work anymore mornings because I am so tried afterwards,but I wanted to be off in the afternoon for Brandi's wedding. Anyway, work was never ending! I think I had to walk up to my floors at least five extra times ontop of the five other times I went up. My legs hurt so bad and I just wanted to pass out! Onve I got home at three in the afternoon though, I showered, got dressed and we were off again! Ususally after working a morning I take a long afternoon nap so my body was really hating me last night when I didn't. The wedding was so much fun! No one was realy dancing so all the girls from work were dancing the whole time in an effort to get everyone else dancing. It didn't work! At least we all had a good time plus while I was on the dancefloor I didn't feel how bad my legs hurt! As soon as we got home at nine thirty, I ate something quick and layed down to relax. However I didn't plan on falling asleep at ten and laying threre-lifeless- until two in the morning! Ryan said he gave me a kiss, Raider jumped on the couch a couple of times, and he was even barking at one point! I didn't hear one peep! Apparently my body was too exhausting for anything else!! It was all so worth it though. I hope you all had a great Saturday.

Lots to catch up on!

It has been an exhausting past two days! I stayed up late (about three!) on Monday night to make sure I had everything ready for Tuesday's re-bachelorette party that I was hosting. Jordan and I spent all morning Monday shopping for a red KitchenAid mixer that was not an Artisan. Then we both had to work. So, on Tuesday she baked cakes, I cleaned some and then went to work again. Tuesday night was so much fun too! What I didn't have time to clean-Ryan cleaned! It was amazing to come home to such a clean house! He had moped, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen sink and counters and then lite(how do you spell that?) some candles so it was fresh and homey feeling. Fantastic!!! After work we all went to eat at Rosa's and gave Brandi her gifts, which she was soo excited about, then came over here to party. I had fun and I think everyone else did too. I got to be the bartender all night long then once we were drunk, we played twister. One friend did get sick, but we all took care of her. So Tuesday night I went to sleep about 4:00am!! Yikes. It was a good thing I was off Wednesday becuase I slept in until eleven. Meagan came to wake me up and tell me when she left in the morning, but her nor three other girls could wake me! ;)

Ryan and I met some of our neighbors last night. It is a family of five I think and they have a little boy that is about three. He came over to pet the dogs and we got to meet the whole clan. Their names were really weird though so I don't remember them yet. Anyway, the three year old was hugging on my legs and then when I picked him up he gave me the sweetest hug!! It really made me miss Garrett and Lance's hugs and kisses! The husband and wife were real sweet too. I am so glad that we have nice neighbors that are not college kids throwing parties everynight!!

Oh and wouldn't you know that as soon as we move from the apartments, construction is finally ending! Ryan lived there for two years while everything around him was being built and now they are really close to finishing it all. They finished the Wal-Mart that is just about half a mile from where we were before. It is super nice too! I will post a picture once I get one because it is so different from all the other ones I have seen. There is also a new Chili's restaurant about two blocks from our old place now too!! I am so jealous! Now Jordan is really close to all of that and not me. :(

Busy Busy

I went to my first bachelorette party all by myself on Saturday night! What is funny is that mom called me to check on me and I didn't answer since I was at the party. Then Sunday when I did talk to her she said she was calling becuase her and Dad were worried about their "Little Girl" since they hadn't heard from me all week. hehe There little girl was at a party and playing nasty games! I thought it was ironic that she had to call me at that time! OH and it was the cutest thing when I got home from the party at about three, Ryan was waiting up for me. He said he missed me. :(

The party was fun. It was kinda odd too. SOme of the brides' friends are out going and then some are really shy and sheltered. So, the party was kinda separated. All the girls from work decided it was not the kind of party that we wanted to her basicly. Here was the whole layout-Dinner at 7:00, Lingerie Party at 8:30(drinks, games, presents), Limo at 11:00, clubbing the rest of the time. It was pretty long, then there was only 2 people that were 21 and the bride was not one! So going out wasn't too great and we ended up riding in the limo for several hours-kinda bored!
Anyway, my point is that we are throwing her another party. Not really a bachelorette party, but just a stay at home, drink and play games party. I am super excited because we are all coming over to my house! Guests!! I already told everyone to bring their blankets and plan on staying here. Before we come over here, we are going to eat at Rosa's and give her her gift we all got her. Jordan and I spent all morning looking for a red kitchenaid mixer( the cheapest one). We could not find one anywhere!! So I found a red Sunbeam standing mixer instead. Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun!

Worst Haircut Ever!

Ryan and I gave Raider and Star haircuts yesturday. As you can see by the picture, Raider's looks good, but Ryan wacked at Star a little too much! Her hair is soooo short on the sides that you can actually see her skin! I thought about taking her to a groomer and get it fixed, but I am not sure they could fix it.

Raider and I have a nightly ritual now-hide and seek. It is so funny, and he knows when we are about to go to bed, that it is time to play his game. I tell him to sit and stay, then I go hide. When I say come find me, he runs from my room to Ryan's room looking. It is hilarious! Ryan tried to hide last night for him, but Raider was confused and was jumping at me like," I found you I found you!"

We got a lot done again on my day off yesturday. Ryan turned in his keys at the apartment, we got my oil changed and his car inspected, cut the dogs' hair, then I cooked supper. Man I love my days off!!

Super excited!

I got my first invitation to a real bachelorette party today in the mail!! Not that Sue's wasn't real, but this is one that I am going to because it is a friend and all. Anyway, I am really excited!! I have to work Satruday night though so I won't be able to go to the eating out part of the party. I will be able to meet up with them at the Lingerie party and then to hop in the limo and go out clubbing with the girls! Yeah! Brandi, the bachelorette, was trying to find someone to work for me on Saturday though because she wants me there for the whole thing. So, I will see what happens.

Ryan took me out to the movies tonight. We saw Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. It was really funny, however the beginning was a little ruined by the commercials. They showed a lot of the funny stuff in the commercials from the beginning of the movie and there wasn't any more funny stuff. I still liked the movie though and Ryan did too. I wish that he would have had his racing outfit here. I dared him to wear it to the movies and I am sure he would have!

I have the next two days off and hopefully I can get a lot of stuff done. I have to get my oil changed really bad!! Ryan has been on my tail about it. Oh and he has to get his car inspected and then clean the apartment and turn in his keys.

After reading Sue's blog it made me think.....the drivers here have been terrible too! I thought it was just because of tax free weekend, but it is continuing! Seriously, at one point I was thinking these drivers were worse than College Station drivers. And you all know that I really hate those drivers! So Sue, I can sympathize with your shooting the finger. I gave a couple of dirty looks over the past couple of days.
