  • Catching up on some summer and fall pictures I never got to post. 

  • Rain: 

    It's a hard thing to photograph.  But I kinda like it.  It almost looks like stars in space.

    Tree:

    Ah, I love warm sunny days.

  • So
    what's the deal with Christmas anyway?  Lately it seems more like
    a torture device design by crazy people than anything that's meant 
    to be good. 

    Sunday my family went to buy a Christmas tree.  My mother wanted
    to come.  It took us 10 minutes to load everyone into the car, 5
    minutes to drive to the place 30 seconds to pick a tree and 15 minutes
    to get back home with the re-loading of people.  My brother was
    annoyed that everyone had to come, and everyone hated each other. 
    It was lovely.

    Tonight we decorated the tree.  Mom said there's not enough lights
    on it.  My brother said "do we really have to do this?" Dad hated
    everyone and went into his room.  It was lovely. 

    I have no money to buy presents for anyone.  It's killing
    me.  So, I ask why?  I do enjoy it when I have money and time,
    but seeing how I have neither,  I hate Xmas this year. 

    Merry Christmas

  • Just taking a moment to complain about all the people who are obsessed
    with the people they are dating to the point where it's all the talk
    about or all they do.        I don't understand it.




    It makes me
    very upset that are things that I would definately make time to do with
    my friends, my "friends" won't make time to do with me.  I would
    make time for them (even if i were dating orlando bloom) because its
    something
    we've always done and I really enjoy doing it.




    Then there are the people who think I want to hear step by step every
    detail of their dating relationship.  I don't.  I don't need
    to know how many aprin he gave you last time you had a headache. 
    Can't you talk about something else... anything else?




    That's what's grinding my gears today.

  • Remember the desk: 

    It's far from perfect, but I can actually see the desk.  It no
    longer looks like a bunch of floating items mysteriously held in the
    air. 

    I think I'm going to actually attempt to do some work on the desk!  I don't know the last time I did that.

  • Today's events were not as productive as I would have liked them to be. 
    8:00-8:30am  woke up, started laundry, left for library.
    9:00-10:00am  read in the library the chapter my group would be working on.
    10:00am -2:00pm  worked on group project with my group.
    2:00-3:00pm  bought cold cuts, made a sandwhich and ate it  -- watched some south park.
    3:00-4:00pm continued to watch southpark even though I shouldn't have.
    4:00-5:00pm  put away laurndy and did some necessary ironing. 
    5:00-8:00pm  my cousin came over, hung out with her, had b-day
    cake with the fam, and then watched an Ellen Degeners Stand Up
    8:00-8:30pm  put away rest of the laundry, and began updating xanga site.

    Here's what the progress looks like:

    Inspiration provided by a good friend of mine and the need to wear clean laundry to work next week. 

    Along with this massive undertaking, I have to work on  a group
    project, grade tons of papers and write lesson plans for the
    week.   Wish me luck. 

    It's one of the weekends were I document everything I do to ensure to
    myself that despite the fact that it seems nother ever gets done, I am
    in fact acutally doing things.

  • Most days I don't mind, but
    today I really really HATE being single.  I have such a stupid
    reason for this.  I just went food shopping at BJ's.  90% of
    the people there who were shopping were doing so in a pair of some
    sort.  Most were male female pairs.  There were a few pairs
    of just men, but I think they were buying for businesses.  Very
    quickly my cart filled up.  By the end of my shopping experience
    my cart weighed at least twice what I do.  Of course it also had a
    faulty wheel which made it veer to the right throughout my shopping
    experience.  I looked around and noticed everyone was in a
    pair.  Hmmm... could this be so much easier.  People are
    smart, come with someone else so that you don't have to break your
    back while shopping!!!!  It would have been nice if I had someone
    who could push the cart with me.



    I miss going to Target and BJ's with Aaron.  We used to push the cart together and it was nice. 



    Basically, I think I just want
    a partner, someone who can help me out with all the stuff I have to
    do.  Yes, most of it I would do on my own anyway, but someone who at
    least would offer a hand or listen to me complain, or just be
    around would be nice. 



    I guess that's the worst
    part.  I got used to having someone around this summer.  Now
    being all alone all the time just kinda sucks.  I mean don't get
    my wrong,  I like being alone still.  I just wish I didn't
    have to be alone ALL the time....
