When the cat's away, the mice will play.

All that really means is.... When Drew is at work, Rory and I watch Sex and the City II and Despicable Me. Ha ha. Well, that was last week or the week before that. Break has gone by so fast that I don't even know. And I'm not particularly excited to get up at 6:45 am for my 7:30 class (which is Pilates, which makes it even worse). But not to fear, I have dark chocolate raspberry coffee... and I'm not sure if it is a good idea to drink something like that before working out. I might throw up or something.

Okay so you know what random thing I was thinking about the other day... brand names that people associate with every day items. I want people to comment on this and tell me some that they've thought up. Okay, for example: Kleenex, Jello, Saran Wrap, Vicks Vapor Rub (yes there are other brands), Advil.... that is all I can think of at this very moment lol.

I went back to Russell today to go to the doctor and I stopped at my mom's house to say hey. Casey's dog Jack, a Jack Russell Terrier (yeah, really freakin original) and Semper (my mom's corgi) were there and it is funny because I am so used to the size of Rory, who is only 6 months, and they just seem so itty bitty compared to her. Which I suppose Jack really is because Aurora is probably more than twice his size. Don't mind if I call my dog by all sorts of names like Rory, Aurora, AJ, Aurora Jae, asshole dog, etc.

Also, books for college are too expensive. WTF. That is all I really have to say about that. And having to buy 5 books for one class is slightly ridiculous but it is for my major so I suppose.... I hope everyone is enjoying my random thoughts today; I drank a Dr. Pepper and have been playing with Rory most of the day so far. Apparently, she ate a bead(s) and I hope she doesn't get constipated or something. My mom says, "She will be shitting jewelry." hahaha, yes I suppose so. Jewelry that she ruined that was supposed to go to Good Will. =/

I don't know that I have anymore useless information that I'd like to delve into at the moment. I really hope to blog more than I did last semester. If I blog twice that will be more. But seriously, I'd like to at least once a week. So maybe. Until then... ta ta!

Just thought I'd post a terrible picture of me from Christmas...

... And a picture I find quite hilarious

I'm back! =)

Can you believe I haven't blogged since this summer..ish. Sheesh. That is my life. I am on winter break at the moment and it feeeeeelllssss soooo good! =)
Let me give ya'll a little overview of the fun stuff I've been doing lately...
1) School- Well, obviously. It sucked my soul out of me... I worked my ass off and man, did it pay off! I don't have to take math ever again... muwahahaha. and I got ALL A'S!! (except math, lol) I should only have two semesters left but I might stretch it out to three.
2) Work- It is also draining me. I really don't enjoy it all the much anymore. I know it is sad to say but SOME of the newer people we hired are ridiculously lazy. And don't even get my started on our new 'manager.' He is TERRIBLE. I don't see how we was ever a manager ANYWHERE.. he doesn't do shit and he doesn't even try. Okay, I could go on about this for days so I'm just going to stop there.
3) Boyfriend/Family/Dog- I got to see a lot of my family this summer and spend more time with Ellen this school year. Drew and I haven't got to spend a whole lot of time together lately because of work and school but luckily, break is giving us more quality time. =) My dog Aurora is already 6 months old... can you even believe that?! Sheesh. I remember when she was just a tiny baybay. She is in her 'adolescent teenager' stage so she is a handful but I'm working on her training all the time so she will get better and be a good dog!
4) Relaxing- NOT. Haha, I did have a few days off this week so I did get to relax a little bit... for once. Even though I don't ever get to do just nothing. 10 more days 'til school...

I am pretty excited for what 2011 has to offer me. I'll be starting to prep for my GRE. My 21st birthday is in March and Drew & I are also going on vacation to Florida and the Bahamas.... yayyy! ^_^ And of course there will be a lot of other things going on in my life... some I want to save to reveal when I have it more in the works. I like surprises, don't you?
