it was nothing a night out with the girls couldn't cure :)

so i'm doing a LOT better. thanks to Lasheka and Kim i got my mind completely cleared of everything going on and i'm taking things one day at a time. we went out to Cheeburger Cheeburger (mmmmm yummy!) and then went back to Kim's and hung out with Brittany then watched Prison Break and played Disney Trivial Pursuit and i dominated! :D hahaha. all of this to say that yeah things are rough right now but really? things will slowly get better...i just have to be patient and kinda float along with all the bumps, twists, and turns. and now i'm happy to present the most recent set of family pictures for the year :) (Laura we're definitely interested in using your services when i come home for that week in the spring).....enjoy! :)

this is not for the faint in heart.....simply ranting

i wish i could just completely spill my guts on this thing but because i'll never know who's eyes will rest on this i have to be careful what i say.....although i've been clearly shown that i have few people i can trust as it is whether it's written or not.

it's killing me that someone i felt i could always trust turns around and makes life just that much more difficult to deal with. i can't contain all the emotion inside me. i've never felt this way before. betrayal is so new to me. especially when it's within family. i can't stand it. i feel like screaming out and just ripping my body apart in hopes that this feeling will go away. days like today make me that much more excited to leave for Idaho. Idaho is my escape. i can be myself and not have to worry about anyone else but me. just me. sound selfish? well....maybe. but right now? that's what i need. i need a way to focus on me and only me. everything else will just have to fall where it may. i can't spend more time worrying about making everyone happy or trying to confide in people to only have a big knife stabbed in my back.

i'm sorry for being such a downer but the emotions i've gone through in the last week have been immense and uncontrollable it seems. i just needed an out....unfortunately there's so much more going on but i couldn't possibly BEGIN to go into it. if you're really curious give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. i'd be more than happy to explain......

i hope everyone's day is wonderful

"Houston we've got a problem"

so i haven't updated in a while....sorry about that. we were without internet for almost 2 weeks which makes updating rather difficult lol.

so let's see....nothing really to update on. we're quickly coming close to needing to work into high gear since i'll be leaving for school again soon (about 27 more days!!!) and we've got Christmas and New Year's coming up which means my house will be once again run by a million people running through my house.

My last day of work is quickly approaching...YAY! Now normally I wouldn't be this excited about my last day of work approaching so soon because I love the people I work with but this month we had an added......um......complication i guess? Now I will have it be known that I have no problem whatsoever with working with people or giving jobs to people who are mentally handicapped but in a business where you're working with children they need to be able-bodied enough to be a full-fledged working staff member, yes? So we got a new staff member recently who fits this description. She's fine to be around as a person but it has caused somewhat of a wrench in our gears, if you will, because we honestly didn't necessarily need any more staff members for starters but they sent her our way anyway. The unfortunate thing is that we're in a position where we're kind of well.....kind of "stuck" with her is the best way to put it. She really should have been put under a 2-interview process but wasn't and so basically if she's not at our center working for Bar-T she'll be out of the company. It's a very frustrating, stressful situation and I'm kind of glad I'll be leaving it. It sounds horrible I know but had the situation been handled the way it SHOULD have been? It wouldn't be so bad. :/ *shrug*

so anywho....as far as everything else goes life is ok for the time being. I'm a little tired of always being asked about my love life and what not but that kinda comes with the territory of being almost 23, not married, not dating anyone and a good portion of my friends around me off and getting married and having kids.....

Just filling in the hours....

well since 2 of you did it i figured i should join the bandwagon.....lol

CMA's anyone??? :)

okay so i know i haven't updated in a while but life got kinda crazy when i got back from Vegas. Pictures to come i promise. For now though I HAVE to put up my favorite performance from the CMA Awards :D i TOTALLY want Taylor Swift's dress from this video!!!

"Love Story" by Taylor Swift

happy Tuesday everyone!

it's Election Day....have YOU voted today?

wow. what a day.

so the day started off ok enough. went and voted. my mom and i actually got in and out of there in a matter of 10 maybe 15 minutes. pretty painless.

then i went to work.

so first of all i find it completely ridiculous that we were open today when technically we weren't allowed to be in the building in the first place since it was a polling location. *rolls eyes* don't ask. so we had a fieldtrip today to Old Country Buffet AND Regal in Germantown to see High School Musical 3: Senior Year (which, i might add, was pretty good : ) surprisingly). so needless to say it was a lllllooooonnnnngggg day. especially for my poor ankle that seems to be rather worn out and in pain. all in all it was a rather productive day.

Prison Break was AMAZING last night. it totally blew me away. i'm really sad Bellick died : ( but to be honest, as horrible as it may sound, i'm glad it was him and not someone is in the main cast. i'm serious. if Michael dies i refuse to watch it anymore. period.

well tomorrow is a big day since i still need to pack for Vegas. so to bed i go...very willingly i might add ;)

to close the day i leave you with a couple breathtaking views from my family vacation (including with my best friend Kim) to Florida this summer:



TTFN


p.s. i leave for Vegas tomorrow!!! i can't wait! :D

so i can't keep track...sue me :P

ok so I know I said I would update this thing on a regular basis but life always gets in the way. what can i say?

So today was my first day back with the banged up foot and DANG it was the longest day of my life. *phew* so I'm not on crutches anymore which I can honestly say my arms are thanking me for. But my foot is still amazingly swollen and just for kicks (haha no pun originally intended but I liked it so it's staying) I'm inserting pictures so those of weak stomachs.....BE WARNED!!! (the 2nd picture is the worst to be honest)






i apologize that this is all i have to post but it's also getting late and i have to vote in the morning!! : )

TTFN

p.s. 2 more days til VEGAS :D
