Speaking of being older.... oh wait thats just it... I am getting old. lol I will be 24 YEARS OLD in March. Ohhhh gracious! But on a good note- I am celebrating my getting old by getting a spray tan, putting my Bump-Its to good use, and yelling with a horrible accent :) yeah thats riiighttt alll sorts of Gym, Tan, and Laundry till you puke cause Karen (my roommate) and I are having a Jersey Shore Birthday Party :) It will be wonderful. Details coming later*
Anyways, in other news... I am modelin a new hair-do after one of my favorite Disney Princesses and have gone REDD! Its weird being a ginger... lol No I like it though, it is very.... becoming on me lol
SO on Sunday night me and some of my closest like 22 friends came to my apartment and had Family Dinner. lol I find this extreme joy in A) meeting new people B)making extremely massive amounts of food and C) being hostess of the year lol I just love having people over, serving food, and being all hospitality-like... I should make a job out of that or something...... HMMMMM...... lol
Ummm...last segments of today's post will be featuring the horrific "SNOW FEST 2011" that is supposed to happen. I mean... its 2:15am and it hasnt ever started they like cancelled schools already and all kinds of stuff not to mention the state of Wal-Mart gave me PTSD that I should probably have checked out lol I mean people EVERYWHERE, old people telling stories of snow days "back in the day" during the checkout lines, the bread isle's choices of $1.18 white or $1.34 wheat, and if you wanted batteries- flashlight- candles- propane tanks- etc FORGET ABOUT IT lol SUch a mess and all for????

well alot has happend since my last post of my life events lol so sorry to anyone who reads this to stay up on "whats up in my life" ha Okay well Christmas 2010 happend! This is a good place to start for sure. Of course there isnt a dull moment in my life so be prepared lol
I got to go home for Christmas for like 5 days and it was really good to see my grandma, grandpa, sister, aunt, and others from church and such while at home. There's always a little drama at home so I will spare details of that ha But I took Ava out for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery because St. Albans, West Virginia finally got one... (insert my congratulations to my hometown for moving up in the world!!). So that was fun. We hung out and took pictures and had a grand ol' time. I got a brand-new COMPUTER for Christmas :) So that was exciting! *Thanks Momaw and Popaw* U da u da BESST lol
Okay here is where the trip went ridiculous... I get to the airport at like 5am or something to leave. First off, Charleston WV's airport is as big as...my apartment so I was like okay Ill get there in enough time, but to my surprisetheres a million people there in line and such and whatever. I get through in time and we all board the plane, BUT this is where I started to have astraight-up panic ATTACK.lol The plane was having problems or something (aka exxtra unsafe to be like flying around with lives on it i would say...) and they turn off and restart the plane 3 times. Finally the captain is like okay I think it should be fine. Seat belts on lets GO lol So we are off.... in the sky... for like a half an hour and the seat belt sign is back on and we are hitting some turbulence? I guessed. Well the plane is bumpin all over the place and the four people in the bakc half with me are all FREAKING out and drinking are falling over and all of a sudden we hit one really hard bump or something and the AIR MASKS fall from the ceiling!!! OBBBBVIOUSLY everyone near me is officially in line to see their therapist for airpline PTSD and the man in the aisle over start puking. He pukes, the guy beside him pukes, so I PUKE... there are babies crying people are puking everywhere and I am like uhhh should I use this airmask? Obiously playing LOST the video game prior to flying home and watching Final Destination the night before didnt help my circumstances. lol Worst flight of my life. lol Ohh.... I survived. Thanks for being concerned readers :)
Other than Christmas aka Final Destination 6... it was good. I have been working a lot other than that. I am gearing up to take my GRE once I get my paper in the mail. I am (as of now) still planning on going to Grad School and such so I am just trying to figure out what I wanna do with my life. Ummm... Idk what else. I am in the process of trying to have a love life. I actually tried internet dating... yeah its not creepy I swear. Met a really nice guy on there and thats about all I will say about that lol
I dont know... I am just in that mode of i dont exactly know what to do with my life... I feel useless lol
This is all today... this was Just A Day In My Shoes

Old, Coupon Clipping, Cat Lady...
Sooo... its been a while, but I decided to write today after I was prompted by a fellow follower :) let's see... what has been interesting in my life lately? okay *hot topic* I was at my place of dreary employment and I laughed at someone. Okay.. Okay... before you think I am a horrible person- I must tell you first that I cannot help it laugh when people get hurt, fall, etc. Like my initial reaction is feeling bad/awful for them and as my coping mechanism... I laugh. I cannot help so sorry. Anyways... this lady and her daughter and her friend came into the store. The daughter and her friend were joking around and one dropped a bottle of Winter-such and such Body Wash on the floor. It was clear so I didn't see it.... until her friend came flying around the corner, I caught a wiff of pinecones or something and she flew in the stacked area of shopping baskets. She knocked over the entire stack, took out her friend, and (her large friend) broke the shopping basket in half. Ummm... that is a lot of FORCE to break a shopping basket okay? So obviously, there was a HUGE line and I could not help myself... I muttered out... "baha...I mean Oh my gosh are you okay honey?". She got up handed me the basket, her face was as red as the Santa Clause behind her, and she walked past everyone as if her elbow wasn't bleeding and she didnt just fall in front of the entire store and break the shopping basket. Oh geez. Why do I have to see these things? I feel like no one else every witnesses them. lol
Next. We got Christmas parkas for our cats. Yep. For our cats. This covers the subject line. I fear that one day my search for love with come to an end because I will be an old, coupon clipping, cat lady... cats with parkas.... Ehh... I think we all know by now Positivity is not my strong suit, but I choose to think I am a realist which isn't always bad. I think it means that when life happens how we haven't exactly planned- I won't be the one all surprised and heartbroken lol
The past few days I have come to the conclusion that I probably should have switched my major. Yes, I have 12 days until i am completely done with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have thoroughly enjoyed my classes and as well as my awesome professors, but I don't know I just kind of wish I would have done more in college and prepared myself for real life even more than I did. Hey, Evangel was a blast.... err... well it was a good go... but to be completely honest I am nervous about life. After December 14th, I am truly an adult. I have to get an adult job, pay adult bills, schmooz with adult people, and there's just this part of me that is kind of...slightly...terrified. Have I been prepared enough, do i have what it takes to be a professional, will I really end up making a difference in our world? Sure, I have all of these intentions of being great at a job I have, being a wonderful wife, and hopefully raising children to turn out sane and not on drugs or something lol But there's always those little things that make me fear the unknown. I don't know. I guess we will see where my life goes, who I affect, and what I have a hand in changing...
I guess we shall see :)
Until next time. This is just a day in my shoes*

It's more than just the Cornucopia...
This past week or so has been a good one to say the least. So as of November 20th, I am now a Part-Time Sales Associate at Dollar General... yay. The Lord brought me a job- so I thank Him for it :) Then, on Sunday at church Pastor Jordan asked me to give my testimony. That within itself was an interesting experience. For most anyone who knows me knows I am a loud, outgoing, and talktive person, HOWEVER, I do not like giving speeches or talking in front of large groups of people. i get nervous and anxious and all those feelings where you think you are going to die via heart explosion ya know? But giving my testimony was cool. I got up in front of my closest 100 strangers I go to church with at The Barn @ Evangel Temple and told them about my life. I told them of my trials, my struggles, my tribulation and all of how God's saving grace and his compassion can truly change a life. It was overall a good experience.
Speaking of churches... All "four" years at Evangel I never seemed to find a church I really enjoyed or connected with. Over my stint at college, I went through this thing where I discovered that organized religion is NOT for me necessarily. Karen (my roommate) drug me to church the first week I moved in our apartment and I have been going to ET ever since. I found the new Pastor to be one who I respected and thought was a great example of what a Pastor should be and I found that not all churches are judgemental and have an agenda. Since August, I have grown to really enjoy this church and finally found a place I enjoy spending my Sundays...ever more than Bedside Assembly :)
Back to my original topic. I have had a decent week. I work, I met new people, I went to see Harry Potter 7 which was AWESOME, I have watched an extensive amount of movies, I ate at Chili's with Karen, I went to church, I went to the Evangel Temple All-Church Thanksgiving Dinner, and I just genuinely had a good week. It is finiding God and His glories in the everyday things. I am blessed. I sometimes find myself in these situations where all i do/want to do is complain and think "Why am I lacking/ Why don't I have...?" but I realize that I do have. I have so much. It is time to start being thankful for the blessed portions of my life.

ps- your clients suck.
today was a pretty good day. i went to school and talkec about poverty, homelessness, and drugs... typical- you know... lol might i add here that i just truly enjoy Professor Mackie. He is my Juvenile Delinquency teacher and he is hilarious- just a good class. Anyways, then Karen and I went to Schlotzsky's (Medium Original -no tomato - no onion + raspberry lemonade = amazing) Then we finished stuff with the previous little totaled car and the American Family Insurance people. ps- Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wives, and Hide Yo Husbands Cause they Doge Rammin' Eerbody out here... lol Long story starting with Chapel and ending with riding a T-Rex to school. lol Then we headed off to Marshfield. We tried out cars for Karen and.... SHE BOUGHT A CAR!!!!!! i mean it was defnitely a more lengthy process including car searching in a freezing parking lot, half an hour waiting rooms, me investigating the entire show cars and being fascinated by the cranberry Equinox with motion sensored accessories lol, and ending with car keys and some Dairy Queen :) So overall... good day! I am truly thankful for what God has given me in my life. He has done so much for me even in the past week or more... I was protected from major injury or death in a car accident, I have had rides to and from school, and He has provided me with loving frienship I could never do without. So, although I may still suffer and not have the things I wish I had or desired in my life... i am thankful for what I do have and what have been provided for me.
theend.

and here it goes...
So, I havent had a blog since I had an active Xanga account in like junior high haha so this will be interesting. Sometimes its just fun to write down and document your life, your thoughts, and your actions in hopes that it will make someone smile, laugh, or make their say seem just that much better. Hence... my blog :)
Well, this is the last official day of my last Fall Break of college... ever and might I add that it was definitely... remeberable. lol Some portions remain a little hazy, but here is the overall jist of my doings over Fall Break 2010... On Friday, Karen and I went to see Salt with Angelina Jolie (and by I saw it with Angelina Jolie is referring more to I saw the movie and Angelina was in it... lol) and it was awesome AND you should see it! Then....SATURDAY HAPPENED dumm dumm DUM! lol So Karen and I went out and sent Kate Hooper off to get all engaged and such (ps- congrats!!) at like 745 am. We went to breakfast where Karen took part in the glory of what I call Cracker Barrel = yummy! We came back to the apartment and chilled out and then decided to go to welll.... (insert hazy memory here of what we did that afternoon). Then we went to David's Bridal where Karen tried on some bridesmaid dresses :) so fun! Then is where we start the longest 4 hours of evers... We left DB and within one block stopped at a Red Light only to get completely smashed by a massive Dodge Ram. suckfest. So we assessed our damage, witnessed looks from all the rubberneckers driving by, heard the crunch of Karen's car all over the road, listen to grandma behind the wheel make excuses, and then just waited there for 3 HOURS for a Springfield cop to finally show up. (In case you missed the emphasized portion...3 HOURS we waited...) Then we had no cell phones at that point, no car, and no friends due to Fall Break- so we got a nice little ride to our apartment via the Springfield Police Department and I got to ride in the caged portion where all the crazy felons sit... niiiice :) *Remind me to burn those clothes later...k thanks. lol But amazingly- Karen got a rental car, we suffered minor whiplash, migraines, and soreness so thats not too bad. It definitely could have been beyond extremely worse situation and I am thankful it wasn't. Oh and then our friend Beau, Ally, and Vicki came over to watch a movie :) Love them
Okay okay... I am hurrying. I know- IM LONG WINDED... I get it. lol Then on Sunday, Karen and I went to church with our friends Beau and Denzel. We came home, watched "It's Complicated", chilled out, I watched some Netflix, and we made dinner (Asian Sitrfry... so good). Then our friend Josh came over to the apartment. We basically acted like small children and had a full out water war with squirt bottles all over our apartment! So great :) Sometimes its okay and a good thing to act like a kid and remind yourself to not be serious and have fun ya know??? Then we watched Love & Basketball (one of my favorites). Lastly, I watched some ridiculous movie called Human Centipede.... dont watch it.... just... dont...... lol
Lastly, today. Today was a good day. Karen and I went with our friend Kait to get Karen's rental car. We then got some Little Caesar's Hot-N-Ready! Yummy! We headed to Sequiota Park in Springfield and had a little picnic. We then got some preparations and went "exploring". We went into a cave and did a little mini-adventure hike and got some Emack & Bolio's Ice Cream.... SO GOOD! Then remainder of the day was spent looking at houses in Springfield and watching Just Wright.
Overall, Fall Break was not too shabby. Also, I have realized some things about my life... a) I watch WAYY too many movies... b) I love Springfield. it is a really great town really c) i may love Springfield, but not necessarily their cops... d) i need to take advantage of every day in my life. i take days for granted and do not use them to their full potential. one day we are here and the next we arent. dont take your life for gratned, you know? i need to start doing things with my life i really want before i dont have a tomorrow :)
loveyouguys. this was just a day in her shoes. look out for more to come :)
