I worked at Walden drive today and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Much more than the last time that I worked there.

I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't study more this break, and when I mean study more I mean at all. Tomorrow, I don't work until 3, so hopefully I will get some things done in the morning. Then Sunday I am off all day. And I don't work again until Friday.

Last night we went to CompUSA again and got a few things, most noteably a new router and blue tooth headset for Jeremy for dirt cheap. But the excitment of our good buys were short lived when we got home and Jeremy realized that his work laptop was broken and the system wouldn't recognize the harddrive. So, he went to bed very distressed. I guess he wasn't that distressed because he woke up and headed out to Circuit city, best buy, and target this morning before he headed into work aorund 9. Anyways, he worked on his computer problem a couple of hours today, and got a lot of the problems fixed, and someone is coming to town on Monday to fix the rest.

I sorta don't like days like today, cuz I came home and ate a HUGE dinner and sat on my butt and channel surfed even though I know I have to get things done, like study, take care of bills, and send Katie a letter. but it's like I can't get motivated, you know? it's like I have to go to school everyday in order to get motivated and stay ontop of things.

thanks mom for the well wishes....

Happy Dead Turkey day everyone!

So, the green beans, black eye peas, duck, mashed potatoes, cucumber salad, tomatoes/cucumber/onions and vinegar, yams, gravy, cornbread, and cornbread stuffing are underway or complete. We still need to fix the greenbean casserole, the lima beans, brocolli and cheese, and corn. and of course the pumpkin pie.

and then we will be eating for the next week on left overs:) Except for the stinky duck, the rest of the house smells really good

Happy Thanksgiving. Virginia and Jeremy, even though you are in Lexington you will be in my thoughts off and on today as I think of things I am grateful for since I am truly thankful for having you in my life. I hope all your dishes turn out wonderfully and that you don't burn the rolls like your Grandma Jolley used to do every Thanksgiving. Your dad has been telling the story of how you didn't add water to the vinegar for the tomato, cucumber and onion salad. It ranks up there with Rebecca and the Jalopeno as ones he likes to tell. It makes him smile. I'm enjoying a few minutes of quiet thanksgiving before your sisters and families get here. I wore my new coat to church this morning and it's really warm. I didn't wear long johns so my legs got cold walking into church. Yesterday was so warm that it makes today seem twice as cold. Stay warm and everybody reading this have a great Thanksgiving.

we forgot to get lima beans and broccoli and cheese last night. that makes me sad.

I have to work today. I'm fixing myself of quick lunch of pasta. I went a little pasta crazy and got like 20 different ypes of pasta at Meijer. they have 1 pound boxes of all these different types for 88 cents. that's a good deal.

Jeremy was real;ly cute last night. We went out to dinner and then to the store to get some stuff we needed for dinner tomorrow, and he stopped me and said "doesn't this shirt look good with these pants? they match". It was really funny.

Our dinner is going to be GOOOOOOOOODDDD. I'm excited about it. I think we are going to have pumkpin pie this year for dessert instead of cobbler. it was on sale last night at Kroger, and we couldn't pass it up. of course, we couldn't pass up the cool whip either. teehee

I got the coat I saw Saturday. It was 60 % plus 10% off so I got it around $30 cheaper than the 50% it was Saturday. It's going to be so warm if it ever gets cold.

Today I ran 4 miles and did weights. I think I went a little overboard though and I'm sure I will be hurting tomorrow. I don't have class at all tomorrow, but I am going in early to study and then I have to go get my yearly eye exam at 3:30. I'm finally getting new glasses, my first new pair I think since like highschool. It will be nice being able to put on glasses and keep them on longer than 20 minutes and not get a headache. I'll be able to actually study in them when I take out my contacts with they get too dry. Then, in January, I am going to get some more contacts and that should last me for a while. I think the next time around, I'm going to get that Lasix eye surgery.

Tomorrow, I hope that I will be up to running a couple more miles.

I really like that show Little People, Big World. And apparently they are in Paduca, KY next week.

Jeremy is so sweet sometimes. Sometimes I feel like we are still dating.

I miss my mother-in-law, Naomi. Especially at this time of year. She made Thanksgiving a way of life. She showed me how to unconditionally love. She made everyone feel like they were her favorite even when the whole crowd was there. She was amazing. I would have been lost without her example. Even now I do things to make her proud. I am a much better person because of her.

I've been busy. Lots of group projects. I'm not doing very well going into finals. it's going to be a struggle to get A's. it'll be interesting to see if I can do.

We plan out Thanksgiving dinner tonight. it's gonna be GOOOOD. I don't think we will make as much food this year though. last's years potatoes were alittle ridiculous.

We are planning on going to williamsburg and Virginia Beach as soon as I get done with finals week. Marriott has their free exchange for associates, so we are staying at Virginia Beach for free, and we are going to be seeing Jeremy's sister mona.

I'm so close to being done, I can taste it.

I have to work tomorrow night until 10. I also have a ettiquet (did I spell that right) thing to go to tomorrow afternoon. I don't have any nice clothes to wear to it and that makes me sad. I really do need to get some new profession clothes for when I got to my rotations.

hi all.

Man, it was nice today. When I got done working out today, I was able to walk to my car in shorts and a t-shirt because it was so warm out. I spent a couple hours at school working on some projects, and then I came home and cleared out the garden for the winter. And then I made chili for dinner. vegetarian of course. it was good.

The semester is going to be coming to an end soon. I have to get a A's in Cardio and Therapeutics on the final in order to pull an A in the classes. I didn't do very well the first set of blocks, and I can feel the pressure now.

Good luck on your blocks, Virginia.

Super Bowl Saturday!!!!!

GO BENGALS GO!!!

Jacob and his little Bullitt Football team play today at 10 AM in the biggest game of the year for youth football.

He and his team made it for the first time in years.
Jacob is a dynamite football player.

THE TRAIN can't be stopped (AKA) JACOB.

Right now he is in the shower cheering about the game. He is pumped.
Jacob is an all star and a dynamite player. If you wind up having time to come this way, call me and I will give you directions to the field.
It is going to be incredible.

I never thought a bunch of 5, 6, and 7 year olds playing football could be so fantastic.
Any everyone have a great day! And at least think GO BENGALS around 10 to 11:30 if you can't make it to the game.

What a marvelous, glorious day!! The sun is shining and everything is falling into place. I don't feel weak in my legs even after all the walking I've done. I woke up in time to attend church without the alarm. Afterwards I went to Sam's after the post office. I was just shopping, minding my own business, when the cutest little pine tree said "Look at me. Don't you really want to buy me?" What could I say? Of course, I put the tree in the cart and brought it home. It really looks pretty and fits just right. It has made me feel joyful. After Thanksgiving I may even put ornaments on it. Probably not lights, I don't want it to get burnt. On the way home from Sam's I voted. John beat me to the polls this year for a change. I took Missy to get groomed and while she was there I walked to Great Clips for grooming myself. I splurged and got my hair washed when I got my haircut. I have done that in ages. It feels so good. I felt good enough to walk to Steak and Shake for lunch. When I got back to my car, I drove to Hobby Lobby to fill up time waiting for Missy. They had most of their Christmas stuff 50% off so I was able to pick up a lot nicer presents for the people at work and Virginia's in-laws than I could have otherwise. Just as I put stuff in the car, I got the call Missy was ready. Perfect timing! She was happy to see me but once we got home she started giving me the cold shoulder. I can't believe I feel so full of energy. It's been a long time since I've felt this good. And I still have plans for tonight so it'll only get better.

tootsie rolls still look like poop but taste SOOOO good.

I got a book in the mail. a Spanish book:) Granted, now water damaged, but at least she sent it, right? wait... no.

I hate when I have weird dreams and it puts me in a bad mood when I wake up. it was horrible. Jeremy and I were living in this villa, and I was going to this baby shower that was really in a shower ( a gaint bathroom) so that the people throwing it wouldn't have to rent a room, which they would have to if it was over 25 people. Anyways, the pregnant chick was someone I had never met before, and these Asian business men showed up and striped down to their tighty whities and sat down in the bathtub. I asked why there were men and the shower, and the response was there had to be in order to get the giant bathroom without getting charged.

So then I was back in the villa with Jeremy and it was really beautiful, all open air and clay everywhere. we owned it, and these things kept on breaking, like a huge clay pot, and apparently two of the three toliets didn't work. And I went to sleep (in my dream) only to find Jeremy still at home when I woke up at 9:30 (he is suppose to be at work at 7). I ask him what was going on and he said he was just hanging out because he didn't feel like going to work yet. amd I started yelling at him that he needed to get his stuff together... the villa was falling apart and he wasn't going to work. then, he started crying, and flickering in and out of my sight, like a bad projection, and saying that he didn't like his job and he was going nowhere with it. Then he ran off, right when a bunch of elementary kids showed up to do an overnight stay at the villa. The last part of my dream, I was frantically trying to get clothes packed so that I could go workout, and I needed to do it quickly if I wanted to get a free Speedo bathing suit. Then Jeremy and I were in the Fit, and we were at Fairdale pool, trying to find a parking spot. But there was a huge football game going on, and all the parking was gone, and the only places left were handicap and tailgating. and people were swarming the car because they were late to the football game. So, Jeremy got out to tell people to clear away so we could drive off, and then I ended up driving the car by reaching over from the passenger seat and driving in reverse. and Jeremy was very impressed with me.

then I woke up in a really bad mood.

man, I've been seriously slacking on the blog.

Jeremy has been in Cinci for the night to do team building with his boss and this other chick who works up there. funny how their team building consisted of going out to dinner and then him being back in the hotel room at 7:30. lame

My head feels like it is going to explode. it really hurts me for some reason.

next weekend if blocks. this weekend I have to work saturday and sunday. don't bother me unless really necessary. because then I will be pissed, and then you would be pissed, and then it would be just one big pissed off situation.

blah... I need acetaminophen
