Until then, enjoy these pictures of Chris' awards ceremony!

Friday, January 16, 2009

Yeah....

So........
Didn't do anything interesting yesterday but run 1/2 mile....
Barely did ANYTHING today... No classes on Friday! How great!!!
I did clean Bart's tank, though... And applied for 2 jobs on campus... And (hopefully) fixed the whole financial aid thing! We'll see...

COMPLETELY BORED OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND OMG SHOOT ME IN THE FACE

... =D

Sorry this isn't very interesting... I'll try to be more productive tomorrow.

Boxing Squad

So... Today was definitely a lazy day.

I causally strolled into math class a respectfully 15 minutes late... =D. So yeah, so wasn't too happy, but I don't care...
We're freaking doing LINEAR EQUATIONS! LINEAR EQUATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... I'm sorry, am I in high school all over again? Gag me with a rusty spoon!!!

Then I had lunch with Bre... She was in my poli sci class last semester and now she's in my math class, so we can suffer together. We went back to her room to hang out and 'do homework'... Or slack off... whatever, same diff! But she realized she had to be at work in... 12 minutes... So that was short lived.

I decided not to go to Latin because I wasn't prepared... So hopefully I'll be ready tomorrow!

Then I went back to my room and finished unpacking... I'm completely unpacked now! YAY! At some point of time Mal and I hung out downstairs to 'do homework'. We had dinner at Highland and we forgot to get dessert, so she went to Outtakes to get some ice cream. When we got back, Mean Girls was on the big screen in the lobby, so we watched that, then went to the gym.

Mk, so what we did at the gym yesterday was walk for 30 minutes, hit the punching bag, do some floor exercises, then do some weights... So today we started doing the same thing, but there were these guys on the bag and doing the "ball" (it's actually called the speed bag, but I didn't know that at the time...), so we kinda waited around for them to leave because we didn't want them to laugh at us... So eventually all but one guy left, so Mal was like, "Well, if you go first, I'll go, too!" So I put on the gloves and was hitting for a while and the guy comes over and says, "Are y'all looking to be fighters?" Ha, so we had to explain that we have no idea what we were doing and were just messing around, strictly therapeutic! So he taught us the 1-2 punch thing!! It was really cool and he was really nice, so now when we're hitting the bag, we'll look (sort of like) we know what we're doing! How cool!

We came home and I took care of some things and now I'm blogging! So huzzah for a pretty productive day! I'm off to the shower!

First day back!!!

So I had a pretty good first day back... I had all my classes today, so I'm not so behind.

My history teacher is a little... off! There was this one girl drinking or eating something (like... a small snack or bottle of water) and he snapped at her (mid-word), "Is this a movie theater!? You do not eat in this class room! There is a LSU policy against eating, drinking, smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages of any kind, or doing drugs in the classroom! And it will be enforced here!" And I was like, '...seriously?' And every time someone came in late, he would stop (again...mid-sentence), demand them take a syllabus, and said firmly, "Do NOT be late again. If you are late, don't even come in!" And later he was like, "I don't show maps on the projector, and I don't pull then from the rolly thing. I draw them. Badly. That way when you try to draw them, you'll actually learn where things are." ........Yeah, can we say thank you, google images? What a nut job!!!

Then I had biology... That was pretty good. I like my teacher, he shared a fun story and some fun pictures... We just talked about the course and what to expect and so on... I might actually enjoy biology this semester!!!

I got out early, so I went to the library to pick up a clicker for one of my classes, grabbed some Chick-fil-a, then went to Elise's to get Sunny (my bike). We shared fries and talked until I was late for class... Then she made me go (no fun!). But we might get to hang out Friday, so it'll be okay.

Latin class was interesting... I was NOT prepared at all... So I just IM'd Rikki the whole time about my wonderful school experience... Maybe tomorrow will be a better day!!!

After class Mal and I met up at the bookstore so she could get some text books, and I picked up a card for my aunt. After that we got dinner at Highland. How I've missed their grilled cheeses!!! When we got back to the dorm, I (partially) unpacked and organized... I got Bart settled in his new home! Momma had to buy him a plastic home because I was a bit apprehensive about toting around a glass bowl on the bus... I was scared enough about how he would do on the bus, but he (obviously) made it.

Now all I have to do is unpack my clothes and I'll be "home" again... =\

Mal and I went to the gym for an hour today. I walked 2 miles and did some other exercises. I told Mal, "I fell empowered! I feel like I could take over the world!......tomorrow." =D

On the road again...

So I'm on the bus bound for Baton Rouge... We're in Buffalo, Tx right now. I should arrive at LSU around 5:45am... So until then, I'll be crocheting my hat and...flirting? What? Maybe more on that later, but nothing major, I promise!

The last day... For real!

Lazy Sunday!
J/K!!!

Woke up at 9.30am to go to church. Saw a whole bunch of people I've missed! It was a great day with a great service!

I came home and I don't remember what all we did, but I'm sure it has to do with crocheting! I'm STILL working on that hat! I hope I finish it before I leave... So I can wear it while I crochet something else... This shall be the first bus ride where I will NOT sleep. =D....Maybe

Momma dided my hurr today! I'm not sure how it looks......because it's still in rollers.....but it's longer! And will probably be pimpin when I take it down.

So... Now I'm about to crochet a little more and then maybe go to sleep... I should actually pack! But I don't wanna go!!!! =\ But I've got to. Oh well.

I love you guys! See you Spring Break!!!

=D

Momma and I are going to a slumber party together. Yay for more time with my best friend!

Oh... I took apart a(n ugly) sweater to make a hat. It's still in progress... I may have enough to make more than one. Who wants one?

Uncle Philip is watching Christopher while we party, so we'll be back some time tomorrow... huzzah!
Other than that, haven't done much today... if anything! Just the sweater... Then ate, showered, and got ready to go. So hopefully tomorrow will be a better post!

=D <3

Not yet! I refuse!

I'm not going back to LSU until Monday...

I'm very tired, so this will be a short one.... And I had every intention to blog yesterday, but you know how that goes...

So today we went to an awards ceremony at Chris' school! He got all A's and a writing award. His teacher said she could tell his voice in his writing, which is uncommon in a second grader. Got many pics which I will post later.

After that, Momma and I went to Braum's for lunch and then see Not Easily Broken. It was a really good movie! Not your average story line! You should definitely go see it.

We came home so I could pick up the boys and so Momma could pick up Chris... We went to Golden Corral with the family to celebrate Chris' success. It was great! I got to eat a lot of different stuff which was excellent... Saw Miyah! Although she didn't like me... I love her anyway!

And then I had a (slight) breakdown about leaving... So Momma thought leaving Monday would be better, and I certainly agree! The longer I can stay home, the better!

So we're currently surfing the LSU course catalog, then off to bed, I suppose. =D

Oh! I hope you like the new layout! Made it myself, of course! Took forever....

Crochet Galore!

So I've decided to skip the whole "finishing the room" thing and start on my layout...
And then my plans were foiled when I couldn't find the brush I wanted... How odd!
So I guess I'll be finishing up my room... But I'm almost done anyway... =D

Today I did almost absolutely NOTHING! I took Chris school... Fought with him for 20 minutes! Oh man! Now I know how Momma feels!!!! When I got back, though, I went straight to sleep. I was SO exhausted... I've GOT to get to bed earlier... This is driving me INSANE! I've been sleeping my day away instead of doing my work... And I'd love to have a clean room to come back to...whenever that is.

Momma and I called the financial aid office today, talked to a few people, and we got work study!!! So that will help out some! Huzzah! Although I still don't want to go back... =\

Then I finished the frog I was crocheting and gave it to Momma for her Christmas... =] Finally got around to it! She loved it (she said), and I think it's precious. I also made a tennis ball for Chris and something else for a friend for Christmas... I'll post a picture of THAT after I give it to them... But until then, I'll putt up the pictures of the other 3 projects I made this month... That's right! FOUR crocheted projects this month. HAHA! I'm off the hook for now!
And... I wound another ball of yarn... =D Only... 1 or 2 more to go! =D

I did some laundry... About to do some more... And then I'll be done with my room!!!

I can't remember what else I did... Oh yeah... I spelled 'lottery' 'lautory'... But SHHHHHHHH! Don't tell! =D

What a day!

This morning I took Chris to school for Momma. I think I'll be doing that all week, much to my dismay! I was soooo sleepy when I got home! I stayed up for about 3 hours and went back to sleep. I woke up around 2 so I could get some more work done and pick up the neighbor's son and his friend. I'm just full of good deeds! =P I brought the boys here so they could play, and Christopher soon joined. They had a grand old time without me having to lift a finger!

But, while Chris was at school, Momma and I applied for a new loan to pay *****-SU... All we need is a credible cosigner and then we've got it! But it was sooo stressful! Or maybe it was because I was so exhuasted... The websites were running so slow I kept taking breaks to ball (more) yarn, because I knew if I laid down I wouldn't wake up for a while. =P But eventually, I took that blissful nap.

After the other boys left, I started up on my room again... I did the rest of my alundry and now I"m in the process of folding it and putting it away (ugh!)... I've just got one more load to dry and fold and put away and then I'll have been through everything in my wardrobe! I've given so much away already! I don't know how much more I could get rid of... But I'm finding a lot of my stuff is similar to other stuff, so I've been getting rid of those... And I have a lot of PJs, so I'm thinking I'll only keep the sets I have and donate the random big shirts and bottoms... And once that's all done I can decide what to take to LSU and what to leave... I'll definitely bring some nice (dressy) clothes this time, although I'm sure because I will, we'll have nothing to go to... =P

I had dinner with Bunnie today!!!!!!! We met up at Panera Bread and talked and exchanged gifts. It was a really light-hearted bonding session and I thuroughly enjoyed it! I love seeing her! And I've missed her like crazy!!! So after we ate, we got some hot drinks and went to our cars, and I start mine up and decided to wait until she leaves to go, since Rupert needs to warm up, and she says something like "I can't open my door!", and I was like 'ha...okay........' And she comes up to the window and says, "Yeah, I left my lights on!" =P So she went looking for someone to loan her some jumper cables (which no one had... what kind of men live in Mesquite?!!?), so I ended up taking her home, which was great! We got some extra bonding time.

On my way home from The Light House, I got a text from Bethany, my favorite Ivory Spoon! =P So I went over to her house and we talked mostly about her baby ('tis a boy! She will name him Kimberly whether she wants to or not... =P), but about school and her new (real... =P) job. And we had some ice cream and a ton of good laughs! I alway laugh really hard with her! It was sooo much fun! I wish we had more time, but we were both getting sleepy so I decided to head home!

When I got in the car, I noticed a helicopter searching for someone (something?) with its spotlight... So being as nosey as I am, I tried to follow it, and it was pointing into this pond-like lake-thing, and there were around 2 cop cars around it, but their light's weren't flashing... So I didn't know if someone had fell in or if they were looking for someone and just turned off the lights... Who knows... maybe it'll be on the new tomorrow!

Well I'm off to bed! I'm beat and hearing about Mallory's banjo adventures is...great....... =P
(love ya, Mal!)

So yeah... I've been listening to this song for a while. I don't know why, but I feel comfortable with it.
Don't ask me to elaborate, because I doubt I can...
But... I tend to think about my spiritual life when I listen to it.

But moving on...
So... I've completed my first crochet piece of the month... It's a fuzzy hat! That I love! I'll put up a picture late. I'm currently working on a project now that I hope to finish tonight... But until I do, I can't tell you what it is because it's FOR somebody!!!

So today... Kind of begins with last night. I hung out with Travis and his friends again. How amazing they are! Travis made this trivia game for all of us to play, and it was so well done! Not too easy, not too hard. No wonder he's so cool. =D After I got home from that, Momma and I stayed up until 4am just talking and stuff. So we didn't wake up until some time around 2pm.... which was really weird because my mom does not sleep in! But we still had fun all the same. But... we didn't do anything today. The record player we found on the curb doesn't work (=\) so... I'm still looking for one, if anybody happens to have any connections....

I haven't done any work on my room today... But I'm about to finish up this laundry... I've got another load or two until I've washed all the clothes I own! How great would that be?

Chris and I watched 2 movies together today! We saw Meet Dave and Horton Hears A Whoo. Oh man! Great movies!!!! I'm not sure if it was because I'm an emotional girl (at the moment) or because they were just that great, but I held back tears (to avoid the "Kimmi, why are you crying!?"). But I highly recommend them to everybody.

I balled 4 skeins of yarn today... It was really fun! I had made a slipper out of this blue yarn and it was too wide, so I decided to take it apart and redo it, but I had just now gotten to it. So I pulled it apart then balled the excess yarn, but I kept going! And before I knew it, the whole skein was balled! It was so easy... So I decided to do 3 more... Just little ones... Each one looks prettier than the one before it. I figured out a nice little system. But I think I'll ball the rest when I have the time. Maybe on the bus ride to LSU.

Speaking of LSU... I hate them. I hate them all! =\ Long story short, they say I don't qualify for any grants or special financial aid because my mom's income is too high. Oh, what's that, you say? You thought my mom doesn't have an income? Well you're absolutely correct! LSU is just being one big ball of stupid *** *****!!!!

le sigh....

Just... Today's been kind of a downy day... Like Jeneill says, "Today was really chill minus all the frustration and angst".

=P <3

Out with the old...

So since I've been home, I've been in the process of not only cleaning my room, but donating the stuff I don't want/need and giving it that personal touch.
I'm (kind of) happy to report I'm about 85% done. I'm working on organizing it now.
But all of this coming week I will be doing laundry, getting rid of MORE clothes (hopefully buying more?) and deciding what needs to go back to LSU.

Yesterday, I went to Alex's surprise party and had a BLAST with Rikki and the crew. =D I just love hanging out with them! There was Rock Band and dummy rummy and nertz and snacks and fun galore! Rikki throws the best parties!
I may have to commission her to throw my 19th... =P

I'm also in the process of designing my own layout... I stumbled across another blog with this same preset and I decided maybe I wouldn't want to be labeled as plain! But I've decided to keep it as a treat for finishing my room.

That's been my last two days, though. Just tossing out the old year and trying to embrace the new... So far so good!

Happy New Year!

So welcome to part of my new year's resolution!
This is actually a stale resolution from last year, but I never actually got around to it. =P
So NOW I've decided to do it.

I don't have many this year.

1. Keep a blog for a year (not necessarily every day, but at least 5 times a week)
2. Crochet 2 things every month
3. Keep my legs CLOSED. =D
4. Learn something new (out side of class) everyday

Thought I'd keep it simple! So maybe this time I'd stick to it.

But, I must give Jeneill her props for gettin the ball rollin! She's such an awesome inspiration. You should definitely check her out!

So... It's new years! And of course I partied! Travis invited me to hang with his friends at his house (in Plano! TALK ABOUT A DRIVE!). We played a wicked game of Landmines, danced, took some photo ops! So much fun! I made some friends I surely hope to keep!

And now I'm home. I just fed Bartholimew and helped my mom get her phone numbers back on her new phone. Now I need to shower and do my hair so I can crochet in peace! I'm making another hat!

Love ya!
