Refreshing!!

Wow!! It is amazing what one night of good sleep can do for the mind and the soul! I feel soooo much better then I did yesterday! I am awake and EXCITED about tonight and tomorrow. Yes I still have a "to do" list but it is a simple, organized one that I can tackle. I am hoping to have a good night tonight with my sisters and a GREAT day tomorrow with my friends!!!!!

Update

With the end of my twentith year coming to a close I have been very stressed. Stressed financially, emotionally, at work, at home and most saddening with Justin. I find my self snapping at him and saying, "look I will just call you later!" I miss him so much but he and I talked it is not him. I am just SSSOOOO busy and it seems like I just cant get a moment to sit and breathe. Thank goodness Sarah and I went to get our nails down yesterday! OH it was a much needed 45min breath, even though my night was still horrible it could have been worse right?

I just want to be by myself and sleep!!!! I feel soooo tired all the time now!!! I think it is bc I am so busy. I would love nothing more to go to Justin's Friday night just to be nexted to him and have a good night's sleep but on the other hand I want to spend some time with my family on for my bday. We will eat dinner Friday night and watch movies when we get back. My sisters and I will have a small luau just for us since they can not come on Sat. I think it will be nice even though it is not alone time it is queit time.

Saturday will consist of a min of 5 hours of road time!!!!!!!!!!!!!That is just being on the road time. That is not even tackling the "TO DO" list that is growing faster by the minute! I just cant wait to the party but in another way I just cant wait until it is all said and done. Stupid I know but that is just how I feel right now.

I am excited dont get me wrong but now is when I start getting pessimistic and all this work piling up is not helping!!! At least I have GREAT friends that I get to celebrate with this Saturday!!!!

Let them have CAKE

Ok so I go to get a "head start" on my shopping for the Luau/Tiki party. The baker had told me to get cake decorations and bring them to her at the beginning of this week. I go to Party Time which is closest to my office. When I get there they had NO luau cake toppings but several others that I did not need. So I call Party City on Johnston. They said they had "plenty" so I start the AWEFUL commute to the other side of Lafayette at 5:30pm.

I get to Party City(were I had found an entire section last week) only to see them BOXING and STORING it until next season!!!!!! WTH!!!!!! They are making way for Halloween stuff! IT IS AUGUST PEOPLE!!!! I finally sweet talked some asst manager into holding some of the items for me until Wed. The rest he said will be in clearance. I guess this has its pros and cons. But what is that you ask? What did I get to go ontop the cake? NOTHING. Well there.

So I call Sarah in a mass PANIC. I can barely hear her and she could barely hear me. (gotta love technology) My phone finally disconnects(so i thought). I look at it to check the time a few minutes later and realize it is off. It cannot be dead since I charged it all day. So I go to turn it on. It does its HELLO MOTO thing but that is it. No service, no screen saver, no backlight, NOTHING. I can not call out and obviously no one can call me. I am even more upset.

I left Party City and I was walking to my car when I realized Hobby Lobby is practically nexted door!! So I walk in EXCITED!!! only to find NOTHING but Spiderman cake decorations. Time to get crafty. I walked up and down the entire store looking for inspiration when it finally hit me.

About 8-9 months ago Justin S and I had went to the Highland games in Jackson, LA and saw a display of the most breathtaking model trains. I know crazy but these were SSSSOOOOOOO detailed and took YEARS to create.

So I RAN to the modeling department and sure enough Palm Trees!!!!!!!! Hey I am sure she can use this and then I began imaging going to Hawaii and for some unknown reason thought seashells. So I grabbed a bag of the cutest ones I could find and ran with it.

By this time the bakery was closed so I gave it to the store manager with my name and contact #. Just incase she can not use this or needs more.

I sure hope the rest of my week gets better!

Catch up!!

Warning several topics in one!!!

First off I have the most amazing BF ever!!!! He is soo sweet (goofy and nerdy) but loveable!!! I had a fantastic day with him Saturday. I didnt want to leave but the drive tends to seem longer at 1am. But I will see him again this Sat.

Which brings me to topic #2. MY BIRTHDAY!!! I can not beleive i will be 21yo on Sat. It seems like yesterday I was starting Kindergarden!!!! OMG how time flies...yet seems to drag all at the same time. I am hoping to have a FANTASTIC weekend. Sarah is the BEST. I could not have come up with such an amazing plan and better then that I am raiding...lol..her house :) I LOVE YA SARAH!!!

The party will be much needed after this week(#3) I will be SUPER BUSY this week. My to do and to buy list is now a full loose leaf sheet (back and front). But it will be allll worth it I know. Tonight is my only "FREE" night but i have so much energy in preporation that I am eagerly looking for something to do or someone to bug. If all else fails I will go get Elly. I miss my little baby.

Tomorrow night is "Tiz's" Bday so we are having a wine and cheese party at his apt. Wed is payday so I will buy him a gift (and give it to him at my party...he knows im poor) and buy all the other items i need for the party. I will then have to bring the cake decorations to the baker so she can do the final designing of the cake and get started. Sometime this week I NEED to get my nails done and maybe even a pedicure!!!! (hey it is my bday!!! no ones feet can look like mine!!!...lol) I also need to get my eyebrows waxed. Friday is family dinner and SATURDAY is sooooooooooo going to be the best!!!! Busy but the best!!!!

Whoa is anybody as exhausted as I am just reading this? Until next time. BYE BYE!!!!

Home Sweet What?!

I mentioned before that I was bitten by that radioactive moving spider again and I took some time yesterday and played around on the internet. I came across a little apartment complex in Youngsville. Garden Heights and the rent is only $375/mt.....it has to be in the ghetto right?....WRONG it is in the middle of a BEAUTIFUL subdivision....they also have a neighborhood watch program....which i like being a single (living alone) female in a new town!!! AND it is about 1hour away from my PARNENTS!!! Close enough to visit but far enough for freedom!!! And affordable!!!! My only problem is going to be with Slemco.

Back in 2005 when I was engaged to Daniel, he was moving in to his apartment and was called offshore. I being the "good wife-in-training" wanted him to come home to a complete apartment filled with all his belonging and electricity. So I put it under my name since he was not there. Needless to say he never paid the rest of the installation fee or a bill(to my knowledge) so I may not even be able to get Electricity!!! I dont know what to do about that?!

The complex also has a BRAND new pool that just finished a month ago, a gym, and onsite laundry with NEW washers and dryers. I am excited but nervous....Hopefully God will lead me in the direction he thinks I should go! I trust him!!

Monday...bla

So it is Monday and I only have half a cup of coffee down but here it goes anyways ;)

Justin and I are now on the same page! I tend to have very low self esteem so I talked to him about everything that was on my mind. He is just as amazing as he was 5 years ago but now is more mature. I cant wait to see how this keeps going. We are both working full time jobs and going to school an hour and a half apart from each other, not to mention my parents are the nosiest people, so our contact will be minimal but I am starting to think that will be a good thing. Dont get me wrong I would love to see him everyday but I think that it willl be for the best in the long run.(only time will tell)

In other news I was bitten by the "moving out" bug again. After my birthday I am seriously starting to save every penny I can. If you have any saving tips or budget tips please let me know. I would like to own but have no problem renting. I JUST WANT OUT!!! I will be 21 in less then 2 weeks and I still live with mommy and daddy!!!! It sucks!!!

Well that is enough for now!!!!

The Wonderful Weekend!!

It has taken me a while to find the time to write this blog but it is sooo worth it!! I went meet Justin this weekend for the first time in 4 years!!! And it went GREAT!!! I truely didnt realize how much I missed him until I looked in his eyes!!! So this is how it went...

When i got there he had just gotten out of the shower :) (because he had gotten off of work later than anticipated) so i got to meet his neighbor (Kylie) while waiting for him to come to the door. I had talked to her on the phone before...she is cool...i think she is going to be a good friend also. She told me about a party they were going to be having at another friend of there's apt down stairs and asked us if we wanted to go... Justin(having gotten to the door and into our conversation) just told her we would see how our night progressed(i mean we have 4 years to catch up on)...and she totally understood. The other neighbors...which are all friends and mostly guys did not...one even invited a girl that has the biggest crush on Jus over!!!! Everyone was mad at him...well he did it just so he could get with her friend that was with her. Needless to say she, the girl that likes Justin, had no idea I was there or who I was so she got a shock when they got to the house.

But I am getting ahead of my self in the time frame. I got to his house and went inside after meeting Kylie. It is a very nice apt for 3 guys living there. Very simple obviously. None of the furniture matches, small tv, but big stereo system, computer system, and a Play Station2 ...typical batchleor pad...lol. Very clean though. We sat and talked, then we went to Wal Mart to pick up some more food and wine,because he had gotten off of work late and hadnt gone shopping before(men...lol). But that was fine with me, it got us out of the apt and away from the trail of guys that kept coming in and out of the apt dispite kylie and justin's attempts of telling them just to leave us alone for an hour or two. We came home and ate (with out letting them know we had gotten back...lol.) It was very nice,but I didnt want to keep him from his friends so we went downstairs to Greg's apt. Hung out for a few mins then everyone wanted to go up to Jus's apt to play the ps2...so we went. That is when Paul asked if Shana and Christin could come over(Shana is the one that has the crush)Justin said no (and so did everyone else b/c no one wanted him there let alone 2 of his friends) but he said that they were right outside. I told jus just to let them in, afterall who am I to tell him who can and can not go into his house?...I dont live there and we are not dating. When she got in and saw Jus sitting next to me with his arm around me I thought her head was going to spin off! She looked pissed! When I went to the kitchen she followed me, so Kylie followed her, she asked how long justin and I had been together. So i said"we are not...yet"...she went on to tell me how she had been trying for months to get with him and how i needed to back off. So i mentioned that I had him 5 years before and I dont have to work that hard bc i can just look in his eyes and see that flame for me still there...Kylie then told her that Justin would never go for someone like her....it was funny as hell!!!
Well about an hour after that everyone decided to go back down again, so jus and i stayed up stairs. We where having fun just talking in his room when Christin and Paul just busted in!!! She said "I'm sorry to interrupt but I was wondering when you were leaving so we can all go out?" Justin was pissed and I was no longer in a good mood and it being 1am I decided it was time for me to leave. He walked me out and kissed me goodnight and we talked on the phone from his driveway until i was in my bed...he was so embarrased and upset.

We have not gone one day with out talking since!! I forgot how WONDERFUL he is!! I mean dont get me wrong he is still a kid at heart and loves his games but I can totally deal with that again. We never had problems the first time we dated and the only thing now is distance but that actually will work in our favor with him and I both working full time and going to school.

Well enough for now...Until next time!!! Have a good day!!!
