man-oh-man i'm tired: after the concert we went ot brandon and jeff's house (brandon plays in the band) to hang out with some folk... that was fun. old friends, new ones, laughing hysterically and houston vineyard memories and other things... ahhh. lets just say, 2 am bed time the night before an 8:30 class is NO GOOD!! but, it was worth it to hang out with all of 'em.
alright guys... this is it for now.

i'm bored guys... what's new...
i got up at like 9:30. that was fun. and ever since then i've been watching tv. what an exciting life i lead. HAHA.
yesterday was fun, well as fun as a sunday can get. did the usual- go to church then go to lunch. lunch was the best part. me and lauren went to Jake's with kyle and jeff. Jake's has some pretty awesome bacon cheeseburgers. BUT they are expensive, i mean $8-something for a burger, fries and drink... booooo. anywho, after lunch, lauren and i came home and watched some dance competition and then took naps. YAY FOR SUNDAY NAPS!!
yesterday it FINALLY got cooler here!!!!!! thank tha Lord~!!!! i hate houston weather. as lauren said yesterday "our winter is a cool breeze." that's so true. our weather sucks. it's January and it's cold enough to not wear flip-flops. that's how you measure winter here- if you can still wear flip-flops or not.
ok, i don't think i will eat pop-tarts for breakfast anymore.... they're not feeling too well in my tummy...yuck
so i'm thinking i need a haircut... but i don't know how to get it cut. i want it shorter but how short? and what kind of style? any suggestions??
i'm having a problem with one of my bottom teeth. if i'm eating like hard, chewy bread or something, and i bite down on that tooth- i get a pain that shoots to my jaw. and it hurts for a good 5 seconds. and i was looking at it yesterday and i think it is chipped a little on the side... i should seriously get that looked at.
alright- well i'm sorry i'f i've bored you all to death with my boring stories... ahh well! poo- on- you froo reading it! :) aiight- lata playazzz (oh me and my ghetto self... what to do, what to do...)

Hilary Duff-COME CLEAN
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no lie
I defy
Chorus
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm cloming clean
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind
(CHORUS)
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean
(CHORUS)
Let's go back
Back to the beginning |

well, well, well.... guess who's back?! oh yeah-- that would be ME! i know you are all jumping for joy right about now, huh? man-oh-man... i have soooooo much to update yall on!! where to begin... right, christmas.
my christmas...and Tulsa...
it went well. i already told yall about christmas eve service and all that jazz.. so i'll skip ahead to our oh-so-wonderful trip to Tulsa... it came...it went... we didn't really do too much up there. believe it or not, we (well actually me, lauren, brittany-cousin, and my grandma) went to the mall for 3 days in a row. BUT i did have fun. bought a few things..hung out with the fam.. we had christmas like on that monday night... and then came new year's eve. now THAT was fun..HA! me, lauren, dad, nanny, and lou watching cirque du soleil (or however you spell it), watched the ball drop, and then to top the evening off ... we...........went........to........BED!!!!!!!!!! yeah, what a GREAT night...
but seriously, Tulsa wasn't all that bad... even for Tulsa...
alright, next up... THE CRUISE!!!
well, we left on sunday on our ship called "Rhapsody of the Seas" to head towards Key West. we got there Tuesday and rode a "conch train" around the like 3 X 5 mi. island as a tour. then we walked around some of the little shops. lastly... we ate a 1/2 lb. chocolate-chip cookie!!! it was HUGE!!!!!!! but...sooooooooooooooooooooo good! i even have a picture of me and the cookie :) if you ask nicely, i may let you see it...
alright, after Key West, we sailed to the Caymans(we got there thursday). man-0-man, that place is so pretty. very colorful and lively. i loooove the color of the water! i have pics of that too. while there, we went on an excursion to a rum cake factory, HELL, and a Turtle Farm! rum cake is very good by the way (pina colada is the best!). after the rum cake factory, we went to Hell. yes, i didn't stutter...i said Hell. they have a little town there and it's name is actually Hell. that wasn't too fun, we just looked at some rocks, 2 itty-bitty shops, and that was that. after Hell, we went to the best part... the Turtle Farm!! oh the turtles are too cute! i took pics... awww :) we even got to hold a pretty big turtle! that's something i didn't think i'd ever do in my lifetime.. i took a picture of me holding one, but it's not the best. see, i felt like crap so i didn't really smile, and yeah.. you get the pic. but at least i got to hold it!! and that's all that matters.... :) while we were on our way back to the ship... i decided to throw up in the street. that was fun.. i was walking, was super duper hot, looked up, got really dizzy, and PA-DWAH.. a part of me is left in the Caymans... i'm seriously thinking of going for a record of how many different places i can throw up in (i've already done it in my 5th grade classroom, and Disneyland...and i think that's it) anyway... after Caymans, came Cozumel (friday). the water is the prettiest color of blue/green i've ever seen. at Cozumel, we just shopped around, then got back on the ship. and relaxed til dinner. lauren and my grandpa played shuffle-board, while me and my grandma walked around the top deck of the ship. then we played some good-'ol ping-pong. i had never really actually played.. it was pretty fun! after Cozumel, our adventure was over, and we had to sail back to grody old Galveston. we got back on Sunday. man! i had soooo much fun! i HIGHLY recommend all yall go on at least ONE cruise before you die!! seriously though... it's GREAT!! geez- the food was AMAZING! if you don't want to visit the places, just go for the food and you'll be happy!! honestly, it's THAT good... mMmmMmmMMmmmMMMmm so yes..... i had an AMAZINGLY-WONDERFUL-HAPPY-GO-LUCKY time... ahhh....
after the cruise, came school...
yes, the very next day we had to go to school. blah... san jac south sucks. it's way confusing. but by today (the 4th day of school) i finally found my way around without hesitating which way to go next. i am taking 13 hours; 5 classes: yoga, government (MW, yoga- MWF), and speech, geography, and psychology (TTH). i like all my teachers- which is grood. i mean good. and great. great and good. *w00t w00t* haha;sfha;roha;skdh(i'm stealing sommer's computer laugh :)) but yeah... school is pretty good, hopefully it won't be too hard.
whew.....
i'm finally done. that's all i said i'd update yall on. wow... that's a lot of crap! sorry if it's boring.. alright..i'm out!
"...we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/for a moment i just left it all behind/we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/i'd give anything to feel it one more time//i blinked and it was over/i wish i'd never said goodbye/i hope for you hopelessly/and hold onto the memory/of you and i and the starlit sky..." |

ALWAYS ALONE
[lyrics]
if it's what you want/give it up/if it's what you think that you need/well it's not enough/you try to be everything to everyone/why can't you see/what you've become has made you numb/to everything you need//every day is the rest of your life/and who are you if you won't ever look inside/are you ever gonna let it all go/you're always changing/always alone//do you ever stop to wonder why/you hide yourself between the lines/it's all a lie/you try to be everything to everyone/why can't you see/what you've become has made you numb/to everything you need//every day is the rest of your life/and who are you if you won't ever look inside/are you ever gonna let it all go/you're always changing/always alone//you're wasting my time/you're wasting my time/you kill yourself by only getting by/you try to be everything to everyone/why can't you see/what you've become has made you numb/to everything you need//every day is the rest of your life/and who are you if you won't ever look inside/are you ever gonna let it all go/you're always changing/always alone//every day is the rest of your life/and who are you if you won't ever look inside/are you ever gonna let it all go/you're always changing/always alone
I DON'T KNOW
[lyrics]
you never look my way/you don't even care/do i freak you out/can't help it if i stare/i'd give you everything/if you'd show me what to do/but i'd settle for one glance/after all you've put me through/i'm tired of being nothing/something's got to give/can we just be something/ something//cause i don't know what to do/tripped up over you/i'm helpless here/why can't you read my mind//stuck inside my head/i lose my point of view/you make such a mess of me/does it matter what i do/i'm tired of being nothing/something's got to give/i've got to do something/anything//cause i don't know what to do/tripped up over you/i'm helpless here/why can't you read my mind/i don't know what to say/you always turn away/you don't even know that i'm alive//i've got to say something/so tired of being nothing/i've got to do something/anything//i don't know what to do/tripped up over you/i'm helpless here/why can't you read my mind/i don't know what to say/you always turn away/you don't even know that i'm alive/i don't know what to do/tripped up over you/i'm helpless here/why can't you read my mind/i don't know what to say/you always turn away/you don't even know that i'm alive
THIS PERFECT THING
[lyrics]
she awakens with a chill by the open window/as the wind breathes it's cold/it hurts to know that what he needs/is someone she can never be/and it runs from her eyes uncontrolled/"give it time" she thinks/and hope still lingers in the air/but denial is a fleeting remedy/she squeezes skin with painted fingers/and the bleeding is a cruel reminder/that everything she's suffering is real//this perfect thing called love/can leave you ripped up broken-hearted/waiting for the sky to fall/this perfect thing called love/can make you wish you never started/if you knew you would lose it all//he stands alone but satisfied as the dust clears/and the scars he wears have only made him stronger/for a wasted year he stayed and tried/a thousand times to make it right/but how could he ignore it any longer/"give it up" he thinks/and wishes she could just move on/but he can't undo this thing he has done/and as she sees him slip away/she looks for ways to kill the pain/is this what you get when you love someone//this perfect thing called love/can leave you ripped up broken-hearted/waiting for the sky to fall/this perfect thing called love/can make you wish you never started/if you knew you would lose it all//what are you waiting for/what are you waiting for/what are you waiting for/let it go//this perfect thing called love/can leave you ripped up broken-hearted/waiting for the sky to fall/this perfect thing called love/can make you wish you never started/if you knew you would lose it all//this perfect thing called love/can leave you ripped up broken-hearted/waiting for the sky to fall/this perfect thing called love/can make you wish you never started/if you knew you would lose it all
NINE 'TIL MIDNIGHT
[lyrics]
i lie awake and wait for sunrise/there'll be no sleep tonight/surrounded by your sweetness/and dizzy from your smile/only hours are between us/i guess i'll be here for awhile/i hope for you hopelessly/and hold onto the memory/of you and i and the starlit sky//we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/for a moment i just left it all behind/we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/i'd give anything to feel it one more time//i blinked and it was over/i wish i'd never said goodbye/i hope for you hopelessly/and hold onto the memory/of you and i and the starlit sky//we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/for a moment i just left it all behind/we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/i'd give anything to feel it one more time//i can't save this/am i faithless/i can't save this/am i faithless/i hope for me hopelessly/and hope that someday there will be/a you and i and a starlit sky//we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/for a moment i just left it all behind/we walked the streets from nine 'til midnight/i'd give anything to feel it one more time
STRANGE WAY
[lyrics]
who will i be today/when all is said and done/if i ask will you stay/forever is never long enough/your eyes they see right through me/all that surrounds me/all i've become//you downplay my downfalls/in a strange way/you take away my faults/you take it away//it's getting harder to unwind/and my confidence is gone/i can fake it half the time/but i never feel like i belong/your eyes they see right through me/all that surrounds me/all i've become//you downplay my downfalls/in a strange way/you take away my faults/you take it away/you downplay my downfalls/in a strange way/you take away my faults/you take it away//what is there left to say/after all i've said and done/ should i ask you to stay/forever is never long enough//you downplay my downfalls/in a strange way/you take away my faults/you take it away/you downplay my downfalls/in a strange way/you take away my faults/you take it away |

well dearest friends, i am back. back to entertain your happy little eyes for a moment with a look into my life... ahhh... *a moment of silence...*
ALRIGHT!!! where to start... i'll start with christmas eve eve day. tuesday was dedicated to baking. TONS of baking... but, it was all worth it. after stephan and i went to randall's to buy all the stuff i needed, it was back home to "slave" over a hot oven... i ended up making these cut Santa cookies. i was very pleased with how they turned out. i also made "chocolate-mint bars". i wasn't too sure of how those were gonna taste, but surprisingly, they were good! and the last thing i ended up making took the longest to make. they're these things called "chocolate-cherry dips". yeah- those were crazy. vanilla wafers sandwiched with cherry/cream cheese filling, dipped in chocolate with white chocolate drizzled over them. i must say they did turn out well. so i was again, very pleased. so that was christmas eve eve.
christmas eve, i finished up my santa cookies. chris came over for a while before going to church. that was fun. me, him and lauren talked a while and he made fun of a few parts in LOTR. then erika came over for a little while. she came and we exchanged gifts. but then she had to go and i had to go get ready for our christmas eve service at church. i swear- i took a shower, got dressed, did my make-up, and did my hair semi-nice looking in less than 35 min! i was impressed. that's the fastest i've EVER gotten ready. ok, so where was i... oh, right. christmas eve service. that was nice. really short. but- we were late. it's not good when the pastor's wife and kids walk in when the service has already started and everyone turns around and looks at you. NOO GOOD! but whatever. so after the service, our family and a fam friend from church continued the christmas eve tradition and went to IHOP. it was really good. i had the bacon, egg and cheese stuffed crepe's. mmMmmmMM after IHOP we came home, and waited for becky to come over. once she got here, we opened presents. i was very happy with everything i got. i think i like the camera i got the most. i've been asking for one for like a year. so that was cool. oh! for those of you who like to bake as much as i do, you'll appreciate this: i got the cutest cookie cutters and cookie decorator set from none other than- WILLIAMS-SONOMA! they're so cute. the cookie cutters are all 26 letters of the alphabet. so YAY! oh- 2 more things i reallllllly like- these 2 books lauren got me: "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" and "Shopaholic Ties The Knot." All of you girls should first read "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella. VERY GOOD!! oh- yall should also read "The Nanny Diaries." also VERY GOOD! anywho... so that was christmas eve.
yesterday- christmas day- we went to becky's house. SO MANY ASIANS, NOT SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE!! we had lunch there- it was pretty good. we watched "The Princess Bride"- i had never seen it before- good movie!! now, i'm not so deprived anymore. SOOO GOOD! after becky's, lauren and i came home and took naps. naps are necessities. yes'm. after that, we watched some tv. later she made me watch a movie called "Memento." crazy movie. it was pretty good, but i did get annoyed with the "oh lets start the movie at the end and go BACK WARDS the entire time!!" the funniest part of the movie was when the main guy says, "ok, what am i doing. oh i must be chasing him. ooop-oh no, he's chasing me.." hahahaha that was funny.
and now we're here. today. i'm gonna go see LOTR- FINALLY!!!!!!!!! so i'm excited... also, on sunday, i'm headed off for Oklahoma til i think friday. that's craziness- i need time to pack for the cruise that we're leaving for next sunday!!!! a girl's gotta have time to pack!!!! geez! but i am excited about the cruise...ahhhhhh relaxin' with the gp's... mmmmmmm :) and i think yall are all caught up. good for you. now you can rest cause you know what i've been up to these last few days... it's ok- you can take a BIG sigh of relief.. go ahead, i WANT you to. alright. don't you feel better? i knew you would.
ok chilin's, time to go...for now at least. i'll be back... "don't fret my pet."
til then................. hasta la pasta playas!!!!!!!!!! |

well, i thought of a couple more things to post on here from my weekend of 'siting.
i gave josiah a bath saturday- yeah, ME giving a 7 YR OLD a bath...- anywho, he's a funny kid. he was sitting there in the tub and busts out with the pledge of allegiance. i was like whaaa? so then he started talking about the pledge and school. it's entertaining listining to a kid talk about school... also on saturday, anna, said she was gonna take a shower and to get her out in 20 min. so, 20 min. later, i go up to their bathroom and hear her singing to herself... then, she started talking to herself. so i had a good laugh. after my laughing, i pounded on the door to tell her her 20 min. was up. she came downstairs and i said "were you singing in the shower?" her-"hahaah...yeah. i was singing jingle bells"- it did NOT sound like jingle bells at all- poor girl, couldn't carry a tune in a bucket if her life depended on it... anyway, so then i asked her if she was talking to herself in the shower too. she was like "yeah... i don that sometimes. i like talking to myself." so then, i had to laugh again... ahhh, kids are the fountain of youth...
moving on... today i went to church. lauren and i teach the 4,5 & 6 year old class. every sunday they have a craft. today was the gifts the wisemen brought. they were mezmorized by the "gold", frankincense, and myrrh. it's funny how kids will believe almost anything you tell them. who knows if they actually remembered the story to go along with the craft... ahh well.
after church, stephan and his family came over for lunch. that was fun. the highlight of the afternoon- HANDS DOWN- is when graceful me DROPPED THE SLAW on the floor... yeah. that was fun. their family is hilarious. brant and ryan are just a ball of entertainment to watch- they crak me up. mrs. segraves made some AWESOME desserts: pumpkin pie (yumm..), a cheeseckae type thing- this was SOOOOOO GOOD, and some banana bread with chocolate chips- i've never had it that way but it was also very good. it's my new favorite invention of banana bread!! adn mr. segeraves was just as nice as they come. i love their family... ahhhhh good times, good times...
TITANIC was on tonight, so of course stephan and i watched it. White Christmas was on too. so we also watched it. i like both movies, so we just used the "flashback" button.
on another note, i'd like to give my condolonces to the rivera family. i'm so sorry for your loss. i just lost my great-grandmother, so i've been down this road recently. but it will all be ok. i love you!!!!
alright guys, sorry this entry was so boring!! i'll try not to make the other ones boring... ok. that's it for tonight. lata.. |

well guys... i'm back from my babysitting adventure early. i know- aren't you all SOOOOOO eXcItEd?!! the parents plans changed and they came back tonight. it was fine by me cause i would have left their house at like 830 tomorrow just to get to church on time...but anywho, here's how it all went down...
yesterday, lauren and i had to be at their house by 2 pm. that was ok. when we got there, lucky us got to play games upstairs!! their mom bought 2 board games in one for us to keep the kids entertained with. so we were all up in the game room for FOREVER playing "topple" and some catapult-a-monkey-onto-a-plastic-tree game. then, of course there was the ceremonial running around the pool table til you fall onto a bean-bag. once we were all on laying down on the floor "resting," their 4 yr old son and 7 yr old son wanted to "fly." for those of you who don't know what it means to fly, it's basically this: lyndsay and lauren get to lay on the floor while one kid lays his stomach on your shins and you lift them up with your legs... fun stuff. it would have been A WHOLE LOT better if the 7 yr old didn't weigh like 70 pounds!!! now THAT'S a workout!! holy crap i thought my legs were gonna break in half! :/ after all the "flying" we all went downstairs to watch- what other than- cartoon network. i don't understand how kids can sit in the same spot for HOURS on end watching the SAME types of cartoons over and over- even if they've seen them 7 times before hand... craziness... last night wasn't all too bad though. we really just watched cartoons til around 11- by that time, they were all crashed on either a couch, bean-bag, or piece of floor.
now we come to today. today, grace decided that since she was up at 7:30- we should also be up. she comes into the guest room where lauren and i stayed, and proceeds to walk over to my side of the bed and shake me til i wake up. she's like "wake up, i don't want to be to only one awake...wake uuuuuuppppppp" so i said, "geez grace, it's ok if you're the only one up right now, just go turn on the tv and watch cartoons. let us sleep a little while longer" so, she left, reluctantly, but she left. so then a little while later..."lyndsay...lauren...wake up you two. i'm bored. c'mon wake up and watch cartoons with me" so of course i check the time- 8:20ish- and tell her again, "grace, just let us sleep a little while longer and we'll come watch cartoons with you." her-"when are you gonna get up?" me-"9:00. now go watch tv, we'll be up later" her-"ok..." so, at 9- as promised- lauren and i woke up and watched cartoons... we didn't really do much today- we didn't evern go anywhere. josiah (the 7 yr old) is sick, so we couldn't leave him behind,(even though he's said before, "you can leave me here by myself. i old enough. i'm not scared"), so we stayed home, played more games, and watched even more meaningless cartoons. seriously, the shows kids watch these days.. they don't even make sense!! this time, along with "toggle" and the catapulta monkey game, there came pictionary. josiah calls it dictionary though. that was fun- of course lauren and i won, because we're awesome, AND we were playing against a 12 yr old, and a 9 yr. old. anna, the 12 yr old, had to draw "bambi"- HA! it looked like a cheetah/cat/horse... but NO bambi... it was funny... we all had a good laugh. after a few rounds of games was lunch. pizza. easy. then- more tv. aren't we AWESOME babysitters!!?lol then, lauren and i helped grace with her indian project- that means we did even MORE weaving. this time we actually hot glued the finshed pieces together so they wouldn't fall apart. after that, dinner. soup and grilled cheese. again, easy. and this time, cheap. then even MMOORREE "toggle", catapulting monkeys, and pictionary. oh lemme tell ya, that was greeeeeeeaaaaaaaat. then- more tv. but this time, lauren, anna, a.j.(the 4 yr old), and josiah we watching 101 dalmatians. me and grace on the other hand decided to be "cool" and dance to music on the computer. oh the things you do when watching kids... we danced to "summer lovin'" and "L-O-V-E" it was awesome- you should have been there. honestly, if you could have seen me- you all would have stopped being friends with me right then and there. it was really THAT BAD. grace wanted to copy me while i danced to "summer lovin'", and i had to copy her to "L-O-V-E" CRAAAAAAZYYYYY!!! lauren and anna had a good laugh. so did grace and i- and the BEST PART- their brother walked in the back door just in time to see my wonderful behind shakin' it to john travolta and olivia newton-john. i was officially embarrassed and beet red. wooo... and not too long after that, their parents came home, paid us, and we went on our merry way...
and that brings us to the here and now. i get to go back to their house monday, but i don't care cause all it means is mo' money for me!! which is ALWAYS a good thing... and on that note- i'll wrap it up. sorry for making your eyes bleed. i didn't mean to... please forgive me... hahahhahahah aiight, LATA!! |

"well helloooooo" quick!- what movie is that from?!! *drum roll....* MRS.DOUBTFIRE!!
ahh, ok, enough of that...
let us see, what happened today?... oh yeah! well, i went shopping today. i wasn't very productive. i only got things for my mom, lauren, and becky. oh yeah, i also got things to make the erika's fam, drea's fam, and stephan's fam. i don't know why, but while i was doing my shopping, i was running around like i was in a marathon! it's not like i had anything totally important to do today, so you'd think i'd slow it down some. no, no. i was seriously walking around from place to place like a chicken with it's head cut off! it was crazy. i got everything done within like an hour and a half.
when i got home i wrapped lauren's present. i even made her a little name tag deal and stuck it on there. :) i need to wrap my mom's gifts. i still don't have anything for my dad. anyone got any suggestions?? feel free to share the ideas...
around 7:30 i got a nice little phone call surprise. it was drea and erika- my two bestest friends in the whole world. they drove all the way out to pearland from good ol' sugar land. i love those two!! they're the greatest friends anyone could ask for. when they got here i of course had to give drea "the tour." after that, it was downstairs for some good old fashioned sitting around the table-talking and laughing- til we come to a stand still. it's good we can sit at the same table and not feel weird if no one says anything- that's how all friends should be. everyone should just have my friends!- then everyone's problems would be solved... in a half hour... just like tv... I LOVE DREA LURIE AND ERIKA LAUREN!!!!!!
alright guys... i know you all will be devastated to hear this but, i will not be updating this dealie til after the weekend... i know, i know, you all are crying your eyes out right now, i can hear the sobs across the miles... "don't cry for me frieeeeeennds, the truth is i'll be back hopefully monday.." (didn't yall like my singing to my made up song? if you could actually hear it, it would have brought you to your knees...) this weekend lauren and i are babysitting the same kids we tutor. so we'll be there friday,and saturday til sunday morning. please God let me survive this weekend... 4 kids running around their massive house, out of school, built up energy waiting to brust out of them like and over-inflated balloon... YEAH- THIS should be fun...
ok, i'll be sure to fill yall in on all of our crazy stories from the weekend. try not to miss me too terribly much. i will talk to all of yall real soon...
oh!- one more note... guess who came home today?! stephan! he's here in from Lubbock for a few weeks... that'll be nice.

good morning to all!!
i'm so proud of myself. i've been getting up these days AFTER 9:00!!! i usually get up by 9 because that's what i was used to during school... now, i'm a rebel and aren't getting up til a good...HA~ 10:00!! i'm bad. i know.
well, i'm sure all you guys will be happy to know that i am FINALLY getting over whatever cold thing i had. i went to the doctor- excuse me, the PEDIATRICIAN- and he told me that i may might have gotten the flu. i don't think i did, well at least not the super-duper bad type. so now i'm drugged up on 3 different meds. fun stuff :/ these 3 different things cost a whopping $100!! ahh, the price we pay to get to feelin better... isn't it sad that i'm almost 20 and am still going to a pediatrician?! i really need to fix that...
let's see...oh!- on The OC last night,(a great show by the way), one of the characters had on a shirt that said, "have you hugged my shirt?" i thought that was pretty clever. i love random shirts like that.
going back to my medicine, this is how stupid they are. one (monodox) i cannot take with dairy, or food- just a full glass of water, AND i cannot lie down for 30 mn after i take it. the other 2 (tamiflu and zithromax) i can take with or without food. but the tamiflu i have to take avery 12 hours. zithromax just says one pill twice a day. now how screwy is that?!! doctors and their medicine...
i've got a nasty taste in my mouth! YUCK i'ma go brush mis dientos <- bringin back the espanol ha the best toothpaste in the world is crest with whitening AND scope!!! leaves your mouth and breath feeling minty fresh! ahhhhhh
**side note: old women and crop tops DO NOT MIX!! NOTHING good can come from that!*
lets see... what do i need to do today... 1) take a shower and get dressed, 2) go shopping for some special folk, 3) register for classes (i don't really need to do this today, but i should), 4)i think that's it...for now anyway.
alright, i guess i should go get ready, gotta make sure Lauren gets up so she can go to "work." her and her late nights... i don't know how she does it... |

well guys, i'm back! i know, i know... all of you a weeping with excitement...haha
back form helpin the kids with their homework... well, today i only helped one, she has exams this week. we spent 2 1/2 hours looking over her ELA review and her Orchestra review... fun stuff. i'm just glad i didn't get stuck helping her out with her math, science, or social studies reviews-- whew!! after helping anna with all that stuff, grace INSISTED i help her make a rug! yes..a freakin rug!! she has an indian project due after the holidays and has to make like a hut and stuff like that...well, her being the 9-year-old perfectionist that she is, wants to make everything ahead of time, and make everything perfect. she calls me down from where i was upstairs and asks "can you basket weave?" i was like whaaaat?? so i finally got it- once i looked at the kitchen table with pieces of grass on it- that she wants me to weave in and out these little pieces of grass and make it into a teeny-tiny floor mat/rug!! so, being the caring, loving, giving babysitter/tutor that i am... i OF COURSE take the microscopic slivers of grass and weave them into a cute little floor mat/rug. all i have to say is that she better not ruin it-HA! i say that because if she, or anyone else that runs around that house, breaks it apart... I get to be the LUCKY ONE who gets to put it back together... oh the joys of babysitting...
well, as i said earlier, after going to "work" i was gonna go shopping... yeah, that didn't happen. i should really know better than to go to First Colony Mall a week before Christmas... now there's a place NOT to go for chlosterphob's... one word: INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!! so needless to say, i didn't get any shopping done, oh well... maybe Baybrook won't be as crazy...
OH MY GOSH!!~ The Simple Life is on!!! HAHAHA- this is a freakin AWESOME show... and on that note... "I'm Outtie" <- ha, bringin' back the old school "Clueless"
hasta! |
