Sometimes I get caught up with pushing "next blog". Did you know people participate in scrapbook competitions? I just spent 10 minutes reading about a lady who is nervous about her next competition. She showed me pages and tips on how to make the best page. Interesting?
Today I feel like I have been eating constantly. I made cupcakes with vanilla pudding in the center. I am taking it over to my parent's house. I am taking every single one of them over there, even though Jennifer insisted that I should only bring one cupcake per person. She predicts that if I bring more, everyone will eat more. All I know is that tomorrow is the kickoff date for Self magazine's fitness/diet plan. I plan to participate. My participation is built upon the fact that no cupcakes exist in my house. Therefore, I will not be tempted to eat any cupcakes, and everyone else will.
Have a nice night.

I realized that it has been over a year and a half since I have written anything. That seems like so long ago. My life has changed a lot since then, and I absolutely love it. I am married to the greatest, and I look forward to every Monday.
Okay so maybe next time I will write more, but my attention span is short. :)

This was at Kim's 23 Birthday party

I just finished spending 5-10 minutes pushing "next blog". It was addicting. Reading what total strangers were writing somehow gave me the desire to start writing again. Does anyone else read blogs belonging to people you don't know??? Anyway I just got back from being a TA at Parkwood. All day I made copies and graded papers, the time went by really fast, which I like, but I do not get paid as much for being a TA compared to being a regular sub. In fact, I havent been called to be a regular sub yet....so I am still waiting for some big pay days. In other news Chad is looking for a house, which means one day it will be our house! Although I wont be moving in until next year, I am still so excited. I told him that even though I wont be living there, it will look like I am because I just want to paint and decorate it all. We are planning to look at selected houses tomorrow at 4 so I am very excited. Chad is looking to move out in st. charles or ofallon, which took some convincing on his part, but its all ok with me. Well I have to go to geo class, i have been late the last two meetings so i better make the effort tonight to be on time!

I have noticed that it has been a long time since i have been here, so i guess i better update you! Classes have started again, the only one that i am really having trouble with is chemistry. My teacher talks to fast and he brags how he knows everything...he sickens me. As i am writing i realize that i really dont have much to say today, i need to get ready for prob and stat, my teacher smells so bad. He lifts his arms up and down which creates a wave of foulness no one should ever be subjected to. he stinks. Also, i can hardly understand anything he says, the only way i can is because he types up the notes, gives them to us, and then reads directly from them for the hour and 15 mins. If i didnt have those notes i dont know what i would do. i guess he made those notes knowing that his english sucks. Ok well got to go!

Today Days was not on due to the US open so it leaves me with some extra time. So i have decided that Souper Salad gets the craziest customers. These two girls came in and told me that something was really wrong with the pudding. I looked down at their table and had spread the bowl of pudding all over the table. I had to explain to them that the black spots were only oreo crumbs. SIlly people! Also, this couple told me that i was the best server they ever had and that they really appreciated that i was their server, so she goes "I left you some change and a piece of gum!" Yup she did, a piece of gum and two quarters. nice. I have to work tonight and i really dont want to. The tornado warnings just started out of no where, it hasnt even been raining. SO that means we wont have many people in tonight.

My microeconomics for the school is going well. Only one more week left, but a lot of work to complete. We didnt have any hw this week so all of it is due this monday. I work tonight, going to timmys sat and then the baseball game on sunday. I guess i have time to do it now but...i will find time later. Oh and i think i am doing a good job finding my way around campus! Its nice to have a 30 min break because then i get to walk around and figure out where things are. I ate lunch after class thursday at the student center, i had a cheeseburger and fries before the C-base started. I just sat there by myself and looked around. I didnt feel silly because there was lots of people by theirselves too. So the C-base was just awful. I think i failed every section. I never want to take it again, so i am hoping that i passed it all on luck. And its not like u can sit down and study for it because it is so random and so many different things. I could study africa more i suppose, because i did not know which country was where. I am afraid to get the results back!

Oh and i guess i should mention how HORRIBLE AND HOW SAD it is that Brit is not coming to see us! It was the one thing i was soooo excited about! AND now i dont get to see her. I am just mad. July 19th is going to be a very sad day. Ok well iam going to try to do something productive! goodbye!

Psychology is finally over, it went by so fast! I am glad that i took the class and got it over with. I get one week off and then i start microeconomics in the school curriculum. fun i know.

The taste of clayton was today, i think i ate too much. i had some salad, a chicken wrap, a pepsi, a lemonade, ice cream, cheesecake, oh and a chicken kabob. i think thats it! So its a good thing kim and i are planning to go walking again tomorrow. Oh which reminds me...today kim and i went to ofallon church, and whenever we fill out visitor cards we tend to think its funny to check different areas on the cards such as "Do you want a minister to call" "Would you like to help out serving teens" Stuff like that. Kimberly checked the teen ministry on mine, and i just ended up tearing hers in half. I hope they dont think she was angry. it was funny, i suppose you wouldve had to of been there.

Chad fished hooked me when i was yawning. i did not think it was funny. He laughed.

OH i also ate some chips and dip at the Taste. I better run tomorrow! OK well im going to go, goodbye!

So this morning kim and i decided to go to creve couer lake and walk around. We got there at 10:00am and began the path. If we only knew exactly what we were in for,im not sure that i can say we would still do it. The trail seemed never ending. We got past this bridge and came to the point where it seemed to us a new trail started. We proceeded to go down it but we were stopped by this man running who informed us that if we continued down the path we were on our way to a construction sight. I guess we should have continued to follow the yellow line. So we are walking and walking, cramping, sweating and walking. This couple on the bikes passed us 3 times! "Bikes on your left (ding ding goes his bell)." We finally get back to the car, our legs are burning! So remember we got there at 10:00...we now look at the clock and its 12:20! we just spent over 2 hours walking! Im not sure if we will ever do that again. I was seriously exhausted for the rest of the day. But then i had to go to good ole souper salad to work. I made 36 dollars whoo hoo. Im still in search for a job, maybe i will go to CPK. I just know that i need to be somewhere where i make more then 36 dollars.

So my psychology class im in right now is very interesting, but it is so long. Its from 9:00 to 12:45 monday through thursday. It feels never ending. I have 2 more weeks of that, then i get a week off, and then i start econmics in the school curriculum at umsl, which is 8am-12. I dont know how i am going to do that. Luckily jennifer will be home so she can help me out. i think it might be difficult! Im not the best at math and im thinking economics is going to be math centered!

Oh and do u like the new pink? I Do!!!!!!!! OH and did you guys here about poor brit running off stage crying!!! She must come home! I heard she is on the verge of a mental breakdown. she better pull herself together because i am looking forward to my 12th row seats! Ok well i am out!
