I'm a bad blogger

WooHoo do I suck at keeping a blog! Not that there is anything super interesting in my life that anybody would want to read about.

I've come to realize that I really suck at doing online classes. When I set my mind to studying I can get it done, but Harley lately has found her puppy energy and has probably become the biggest pain in the ass/adorable distraction you could ask for. I opened the window above my bed to bring some light into my room while I was reading my Texas History and now she is COMPLETELY OBSESSED with looking at it. I get woken up every morning with her trying to move the blinds herself *insert eyeroll* It also doesn't help that she wakes me up every morning at 5:30, yes I know for some that's nothing but for it me it's a big deal, because my stupid neighbor is moving around in his apt. It's not like he's being super loud so I can't turn him in for the noise, but Harley has gotten into this VERY annoying habit of barking at EVERY SOUND that happens around the apartment, sometimes it's nice, like if someone is out front being super noisy, but when it's just a bump or anything else it gets on my nerves! I have no idea where she's picked this habit up either! I know she started the barking at my parents house because the stupid neighborhood kids think it's completely fine to run around and through everyone's yards, but it seems to have gotten worse since I got back up to Austin from Christmas break. I'm thinking I'm going to have to start taking my handy dandy squirt bottle everywhere I go with her, get her back to knowing that it's not ok to bark at everything X(

Other news...=\...this past weekend was fun, Heather came up/down/across (which direction is Houston from Austin?!) and I got to hang out with her, Chris, and Patrick Saturday night. We went out to Plucker(I'd almost forgotten how good their wings can be!) and then hung out at Chris's place and played Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride, there might have been another game in there but those where the main ones =p. Sunday was the Austin Marathon, Mom wasn't allowed to run it per doctors orders so since I didn't have them staying with me I took the time to clean/reorganize my apartment. It was such a pretty day for the most part, I was able to leave my deck get into my storage unit on the porch and put up and rearrange my Christmas decorations and then set up some stuff in my living room. Harley was, as always, the perfect supervisor sitting on the couch and out on the porch, out of my way for once...well that is until the evil cold front came in! And believe me that cold front was felt I came out of my room, wearing shorts and a tank because that's what I'd been cleaning in, and woosh nice burst of cold air right through the open sliding glass door...I'm completely and totally ready for the nice spring weather to be here...and stay! Ugg I just heard on a "news preview" there's another cold front getting ready to come through...WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST!!

Ok, time for more pair skating and reading about Human Sexuality

Starting off my Spring Break with a Nap

I would like to join the group of college students, and other people of the world, that are against Springing forward.  Ever since that hour was taken away, the week before you have 2 test on the same day no less, I have been exhausted!  My alarm goes off in the morning and its still dark...that's just plain evil!  My fuzzy brain looks up and say 'oh it's still dark outside...that means I can go back to sleep!'  Not good!

On another note...Texas needs to PLEASE stick with just one kind of weather.  So last week my allergies started acting up and since the temperature has been nice, we had the windows open to keep the house cool and save some money, but now thanks to this little cold spell that has come through is making me feel more like crap!  I keep coughing and it's just plain icky and I want it to go away...and I want the warm weather back!  What am I supposed to do with my spring break if its cold...what kinda sick joke is mother nature playing here...unless she's just doing it now and then next week is going to be really pretty. ^_^  Next week should be fun...I get to house sit for my parents...which means that I'm going to be alone with Nikki, Stormy, and Harley in that big house...Nikki and Harley will be fine, it's Stormy that I think I might have the problem with.  She has a tendency to pee and poop in the house if you don't get your ass out of bed fast enough for her majesty.  Nikki can get that way about food...if you don't feed her promptly then she won't leave you alone.  But the good thing is, I can drive my parents cars all week long, which means that I can save gas in my car, that way I don't have to fill up down there using my credit card.  Other then that there will be a lot of homework and reading doing next week...maybe... ...and watching cable TV on the big screen tv he he he watching Serena slap Dan in high defenition muaha ha ha ha ha!!

*ok Rant on, if you don't want to hear/read it stop right now!!!!*

Starting from the beginning.  So last semester I got the Fossil leather Longhorn purse from the Co-op that I've always wanted, but have been to cheap to use my own money on, well when I got my rebate card thats the first thing that I went and bought.  I go home and my mom sees it and says she likes it.  During Christmas break we go to the outlet malls in San Marcos for Christmas shopping and fun and what do we happen to come by at the Fossil Store, my purse, and guess who just HAS to have it?! My mom...so what does she do, she buys the exact same one that I have, she doesn't want the lighter brown or the black one, she has to have the dark brown one that I have!  So I think whatever, so we'll have the same purse, big deal, I don't see them that often whatever.  So in January I got my perfect purse, well for me at least, it's my navy blue coach that I carry around everywhere and I love it sooooo much!  I go home for the first time this year after coming back(and buying the purse) and my mom sees it and wants it.  She asks me when I got it, I lie b/c they harp on me about crap and I just want that visit to be as painless as possible.  So my mom and me are going somewhere and she's complaining about how much she doesn't like her purse and still bugging me about my purse...asking questions about when I got it, how much I paid for it and the one question that she keeps asking is "When you got it why didn't you think to get one for me?"  So to get her off my back, and for me to not yell at her and tell her to STFU! I go look on eBay for the stupid purse and find it in the navy blue that I have and then also black and the classic coach tan color and send picture of them to her to see which one that she would want so that she can get off my friggin back.  So she's narrowed it down to the black one and to the navy one.  She keeps asking me which one she should get...why the hell does she always ask me that?!  Why the hell should I care, I'm not the one that's going to be using it and crap like that, why do you need my friggin opinion of it, heaven forbid she uses her own brain and choose for herself.  So I keep telling her to go for the black one, that way she actually doesn't have the exact same purse as me...she has the same look and everything, but different color...I don't care.  But she keeps saying..."I do like the blue one, but if I get it would you care if I have the same purse as you?"  How the fuck do you answer that?  Do I care that my mom has the exact same purse as me?  Yes I fucking mind that she keeps getting the same purses as me...pick out your own damn purses woman! SERIOUSLY!  But can I say that to my mom, no.   So I have to order the damn navy purse and it showed up yesterday and when I told my mom she said she wanted it now.  Seriously, I can't have anything that is just my own that my mom likes.  It pisses me off!  The one coach purse that when I first looked at it was like I really like it, it's the perfect color, it's comfortable to carry and it's magically AMAZINGLY in my price range...and now my mom has it.  What the hell!  I mean I know I have like awesome taste and I'm totally amazing at finding sale items that are even awesomer =p but still, I'm not looking for something my 50 year old mom wants too.  Is she trying to stay young or something?  For the love of god, can't I have my own life with my own things?!

Ok rant over...sorta, there are many more things that I want to say, but I can't get it to come out right...and there are a lot of words that shouldn't be said...>_<

*Last word on Rant*

Mom ain't getting her purse until she pays me...there is no way in hell I'm letting them do this crap to me anymore, I'm not paying for stuff for them and then them not paying me back!  they complain when I say I have no money, and then I say right now since I don't have a job I'm putting everything on my credit card to save some money, in a since, and then they ask me to buy them things and to put it on my credit card and then they will pay me back...and then they don't, this isn't happening anymore!  I'm being a big girl and putting my foot down!

*Rant officially over*

XOXO

So my teacher didn't get our test back to us today.  He's taking his time grading the test.  He says that he's about 3/4 of the way through, meaning he graded the scantron part and is about half of the way through the essay part.  He also told us that the grades so far are as he expected them to be...what kinda crap is that?!  He refuses to tell us what the grades are looking like letter wise, so now I have to wait until Tuesday to get my grade back.  >_<>_<

I did get my fixed test back, he said that the key was right, but the scantron machine was counting 2 questions wrong...so HA!  I got 5 points added on to my grade so I got a 94 muaha ha ha ha ha.

Good news, last Friday at work some milk, about 200 pounds, decided to attack Tommy and in order to save his head he put his arm up and then also landed on his other arm.  So he landed real hard on his left elbow, and smashed 2 fingers on that hand.  He went to the doctor on Saturday and they thought that it was possible for him to have fractured his elbow, but since it was too swollen they couldn't take an x-ray of it.  So poor Tommy got to wear a fiberglass cast and arm sling.  He was able to get the x-ray FINALLY on Tuesday and he got the results on Wednesday...yay for Tommy, his elbow is VERY bruised, so the doctor told him that he's not really supposed to use it...How do you not use your elbow?!  Now, lucky Tommy, gets to wear a brace/sling that keeps his arm close to his chest, that way he doesn't use his elbow...good thing it wasn't his right arm, I would love to have seen him try and do everything with his left hand/arm he he he.  The only let down is that I still won't have an answer to my question of how do you take a shower/bath with a cast on.  I know you can wrap it and whatever, but I want it explained...perferably with pictures of it wrapped in plastic wrap and duct taped. ^_^  Tommy did say that it was interesting putting his seat belt on and driving though, since we drive with our left hand.

I would like someone to please explain to me why it's almost 90 degrees in February?!  I almost died last night, I had my ceiling fan on and my desk fan on high and I was still burning up...sometime during the night I even opened my window and it was still really hot...WTF?  It was 80 in the house last night until all the windows were opened downstairs.  I had all the windows opened in my room, but had to close them because people were walking their dogs and making  A LOT of noise and Harley was having a freakin fit, barking and buffing and talking every few minutes...I was getting ready to KILL her!  It's really hard to concentrate on doing Astronomy calculations

**Reason for the picture...its Wall-e...and it's cute...and I want Christmas to be here now since its the funnest season like ever =p
