It's been a LONG time since I've used this website! Let me catch you up to speed.

1. I have graduated from college and I now teach 6th grade English.

2. I have postponed my wedding again, and the date is set for July 20th.

3. Chelsea and I are not on great terms (due to moral issues).

4. Even making $60,000 will not help you get out of any financial troubles you get yourself into while in college.

My step sister had a baby yesterday. It's kind of wierd, because I never got to see her pregnant. So, to me it's like she was never pregnant. It's kind of like Brandon's mom... except I'll get to see her pregnant. I haven't seen it, so I don't believe it. I will probably get used to the idea once I see the pictures. I hope that when I am pregnant, I will have enough sense to name my child something that sounds good. My step-sister has no sense. I don't think she could have picked a wierder name.

So, Brandon was out of town all weekend and it was fun. Except for the part where I was bored and lonely because the love of my life was not at home to greet me when I came home from work. I called him this afternoon to discuss our future wedding plans. I found out recently that Bed Bath and Beyond is now selling CHINA! I am so excited about it that I have to go register this week or I might die!!! So, I made plans with Brandy to go on Wednesday. When Brandon found out, he got a little sad sounding over the phone. He said he wanted to discuss it at home. I think that he actually wants to go with me! I am kind of mad at myself for assuming that he wouldn't want to go. I just figured that the kind of registering I was going to be doing would not be of any interest to him. But, apparently it is and I am kind of excited about it! I am so thrilled that I think he wants to go with me. It means that he cares... and I'm not saying that I think he doesn't care, but going with me to register is a little extra.

Chelsea and I got into it yesterday. It wasn't an argument or anything, but she thought I was trying to hurt her feelings so she intentionally hurt mine. We were discussing how long it has been since we've been out of high school, and she took my comments to mean that she's done nothing with her life and I've got like 7 months until I'm out of college, so I am better than her. It is not what I meant at all, even though the part about me being in college and her not doing much is true. I understand that she's had a hard time with school, love, her mother, and just her life in general. I do not judge her quality of life based on if she's in college or not. She has a great life and I am so jealous of some of the things that she has done. She has lived by herself, and she has had the courage, strength, and willpower to leave her boyfriend of 3 years. Not that I want to leave Brandon, but if I had to, I don't think I could do it. I am not that strong. So, after she though I was trying to hurt her feelings, she ignored my phone calls and I didn't get to go bowling with her and all of her friends. I got left out because she misunderstood what I said. It really hurt my feelings when she did that, and I knew that she had been avoiding me... but she should have said something at that very moment that she thought I was hurting her feelings, and then it owuldn't have been misconstrued. What she did was far worse than what I did not do to her. Now that we have spoken about it, we're fine again... although I don't think I'll be making plans with her anytime soon, or assume that I'm invited. I'm not going to risk getting my feelings hurt by her anymore.  

A lot has happened since my last blog in January. My twins moved to North Carolina and I miss them so much that thinking about them makes me tear up. So... once they moved, I had to get a regular old job. I am now working at the AmeriSuites Hotel here in Hoover. WHOOPEE!!! I really like this job because it allows me to do my school work, and they also let me use their office supplies... and it's not even considered embezzling. LOL. OK, so I'm now in my final year at UAB and I student teach next semester. I am so excited about school.

Yesterday I was elected Historian of the SAEA( Student Alabama Education Association). My schedule didn't allow for me to run for Prez, or even Vice-Prez, but historian is cool because I am in charge of the scrap book! I love scrapbooking.

I got a new car because the old Blue Bastard finally broke down. I also found a whole bunch of furniture on the side of the road. I picked up a cedar chest, and some little cute nick-nacks. I bought some lamps at Target and spent over $100. My new car is a 2001 Nissan Sentra. I am so excited about it!!!!! It's still clean too, and it's been over a month. Birds keep shitting on it though, so I've been to the carwash like 3 times since I bought it on August 8th.

Welcome back! It's been over a month since my last post. Oh well. Some bitch wrote something horrible on my tag board. So, whoever Shelly is, she can rot in hell. On to new things, I joined a gym. It's fun, and it makes me feel good. I recently found a website that connects me to old friends. WWW.thefacebook.com it's pretty cool. My stepsister is coming to visit this weekend...YUK, but we're going to my favorite restaurant so it's not all bad. My grades for last semester didn't make me jump for joy. My gay graphic design teacher had it in for me and didn't like my project. I don't like him, so we're even. I got a "D", so it's not all bad. At least I didn't fail. LOL. I shouldn't pick on homosexuals... afterall, there are many in my family. Back to business... there's a Bridal show on January 30th. If you want to go with me to increase my odds of winning prizes, e-mail me. I'll pay your way in. :-) My twins are now 8 months old, and they have teeth! They're so cute! My Christmas was great, and so was my New Years. I went to Brandon's mom's for new years, and we burned stuff in her back yard and got drunk. It's fun when you visit the country.

I love e-bay! I've had an account with them for two years and just recently (last week) I found the strength to actually order something. I bought 6 things to be exact. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, I've been busy with school, work, and life.

Lydia, one of the twins that I keep, learned to sit up all by herself yesterday. Thanks to me! I was so proud. Her twin brother isn't quite there yet, but he'll have it by the end of the week. She's just so cute! I'll scan a picture in soon so you can all see my babies. I recently took another job that is Saturday and Monday. Don't worry, I'm not outstretching myself, I am off on both of those days and get bored sitting around. Plus, in those two days, I make as much money as I do at my full time job, so it's pretty cool.

Christmas is around the corner and I'm nervous. I am the type of person that likes to guide people and let them know EXACTLY what I want. Brandon is not taking my suggestions, and I have no clue what-so-ever as to what I will be receiving. I have been hinting at an 8x10 foot Seagrass rug for our living room. I know, you're probably thinking..." why would she want a RUG for Christmas?!" Well, I truly want furniture, but we are getting that in January... so accesories would be cool for Christmas. Along with cash... we're going on vacation in January so spending money would be wonderful. Gift cards are ok, depending on the store. Once, I got one to the local mall and I was able to use it anywhere in the Galleria that I so desired. My left overs were given to me in cash and that was excellent. TTYL and happy December to all!

This morning we are just so lucky that it's tornado season. Here at my apartment Brandon stayed up all night to protect me from the storm. When he was little a tornado took the roof off of his house and ever since then he freaks when bad weather happens. It's 6 in the morning and I'm getting ready for work, and he decides that it's time for bed... but not before turning the tv volume up to 40 something to make sure he can hear it in his sleep. LOL, whatever. Anyways, Thanks Brandon for caring... I guess. ;-)

Christmas comes but once a year... and that sucks. We cannot decide on our Christmas planning. Where to go and when. Christmas day is Brandon's birthday, and this year he will be 21. WOOHOO. But, he can't get wasted on Jesus's birthday, so that sucks. LOL. I need to go... ttyl.

Today, I found out that my uncle does in fact have lung cancer. Yesterday he had his surgery, where they found the lump and removed the lower lobe of his left lung. OUCH! Anyways, the doctor thinks he got it all. Even though I doubt any of you prayed for him, thank you if you did. We appreciate your prayers.

Online Casino's are evil. Brandon and I tried to justify spending money on those websites. Well, we came to the agreement that we'd spend $15. Win/lose, it's not a lot of money. By this time he was too excited to even let m help him set up the account. So, I went into the living room. 2 minutes later he came in VERY sad saying that there was a minimum deposit of $20. So, of course I said no problem. We planned to use my debit card. Boy, were we wrong. Compass bank won't allow my debit card to be used at online gaming sites. Brandon was so sad. It's like taking a kid into a toy store and not letter him get anything. We then tried to use his checking... the minimum deposit was then $50!!!!! I said, NO WAY! But, later... after babysitting, I agreed, but only on special circumstances. Right now he's down to $17 dollars and I couldn't be more pissed. He's won a few hands, but has an overall losing streak. He is convinced that he will win something big playing Texas hold'em. LOL. Whatever. At least it's not my money he's spending. Oh yeah, the special circumstances involve new furniture by May. LOL. What a deal I just made.
