Ok so I have to tell someone about my morning so far and since most people I know are either at work, school, or still asleep I decided to vent to my fabulous blogger friends :) Well here is how it starts.... I am all jazzed, very sleepy, and tired but still jazzed for the first day of classes. I told myself self this would be a fun way to kind of reinvent yourself because no one knows you. So I was looking forward to this. I show up for my 9am class and no one is there. I start to panic because this is totally like a nightmare come to life. You know the one where you are going to a new school and you show up at the wrong time and place then your professor hates you for the rest of the semester. But then I thought hey I am a little early and lets face it students sometimes get there right one time. So I go to the bathroom and check again no one is there. Full on panic ensues in my mind. Then I decide that I definitely have the wrong room so I need to do something about it. I find the social work offices and am pointed to someone who can help. I explain the situation. They look at the schedule and while giving me a look like you are crazy tell me that the class I am looking for is on Thursday at 1pm instead of Tuesday at 9am. I think oh great I am here WAY before I need to be for my next class now but at least I didn't miss it. I am not crazy though I looked at the class schedule on Sunday night. I didn't think they would make changes AFTER classes had already started! So I think to myself self what the heck are you going to do with all this time. I decide I want to be productive so I head to the cashier office so I can at least pay my tuition since it is now corrected from having been set to OUT OF STATE (those of you who know me know that I was born and raised in Florida). So I get there go to pay with credit card and they tell me that I can only do that online and they will charge a convince fee of 2. 6%...are you kidding me. So now I am sitting in the library finding things to keep my busy because I don't want to go all the way home then come back again. I thought I would write my entertaining tale for you guys to get a laugh. ]
So now for other things. I have exciting news once again. I now have another 5lb star for loosing 15lb since starting the weight watchers program. I have a feeling this week will be a good week. Hopefully I will be able to stick to my guns and buckle down. I want to work out a couple of times too.
This whole going back to school thing is going to be interesting. I still looking forward to this reinventing myself thing. Not that I don't like who I am. I just think it would be fun. No one here knows me at all. Think of the crazy possibilities. It is going to take a lot of discipline to get back into the whole studying, reading, and writing papers thing. I have it in my though :)
My friend Melissa has given me some inspiration for my novel. I just have to actually write all the ideas down. I have written a few more letters to my futures husband. He better come along sometime soon shoot.
I have found a bunch of amazing verses that I want to adopt as life motto's. They are just good verses that my devotional has had in it. I have plans to write a bunch of them down and plaster them everywhere so that if I need some motivation throughout the day I can just look around and read some of them. I will post some of them in a later blog for you guys so that if you want to you can write then down everywhere.
In other news. Carrie bought this program for her computer where you can record your voice while watching something on your computer screen. She bought it for a project of hers. We decided to use it to our advantage and make a recording of us doing commentary on videos. It has been a hoot. We are gonna try to do some more tonight. We started off with two weeks notice which went ok but then we moved on to instant plays on netflix. We found the New Adventures of Superman tv show you know the one with Dean Cain. It turned out to be a gem. I have been reading more Legend of the Seeker it is SOOO good. I also will have to post a picture of the adorable haunted house I bought to decorate for Halloween from Bath and Body Works and my flowers which have gotten really big.
Well I am not going to find other ways to entertain myself. I challenge you guys to find a life motto of some sort for yourself to keep you going on those days that get a little crazy.

25lbs WOOT!
Surprise! I am back! Sorry it has been sooo long. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and an emotional roller coast too boot. Let me see where to begin. I guess I will start with some exciting news. I have officially lost 25lbs from my highest weight after gaining a little bit a couple weeks again and then loosing some this week. I am really really close to losing 15lbs since starting weight watchers. I want that next 5lb sticker really bad. I am in the middle of my third month with them. I am going to make it to the end of my fourth month when you get your sas (stay and succeed) charm. If I don't get to my 10% goal by then I might do another month, that is when you get your key chain to put your sas charm on:). I will then attempt to do it on my own. If I find I have problems doing it on my own then I will go back to weight watchers. I have to learn how to cook healthy things for myself instead of eating smart ones all the time at some point too.
I was watching my cat during the time that I was absent from the blog world, while my dad, Liz, Jake and my grandma were away in NY. I thought that it would be really easy and no big deal. It really wasn't a big deal I love my cat. It did however turn out to not be as easy as I thought though because she kept throwing up. I thought it was just a hairball but then to my horror it kept happening. I was finally able to take her to the vet. Getting her there in the car was an adventure in and of itself. Then I found out that she might have diabetes, thyroid problems, or something else wrong. Poor kitty cat. She has to go back to the vet when my dad comes home and have a senior panel done so that they can for sure know what is wrong and get her the proper treatment.
I am getting really close to starting school. My first day of classes is on the 24th. Then my internship starts a couple of weeks after that. I am freaking out that it is going to be really hard. I know that I can do it though. I just have to give it my best and it will be fine!
I have been reading my Bible and doing my devotional book that I very much enjoy. I haven't been doing it as much as I have wanted to but I am making an effort. I have been challenged to work toward having a quiet and calm spirit. To me in my mind I feel very far away from actually having a quiet and calm spirit. I feel that if I make a few changes though and work at it then eventually I will reach this goal :) Today's topic was about purity. It was challenging readers to stay away from anything that personally would cause them to take their minds away from the things of God. I was really drawn to a few verses they used to help illustrate these points. One was using the armor of God to combat the temptations from the Devil. The other one was about thinking about whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely. If you fill your mind with good pure things and only concentrate on them there will not but room for evil temptations to get in and lead you to sin.
I have written a little bit more of my novel. I also have started to write letters to my future husband. I really enjoy it and cannot wait till my future husband can read them someday. It was an idea I got from a friend and I just thought it was a really cute thing to do. I very much treasure these letters.
My last day at target was this past Saturday. I am going to miss some of the people that I worked with. In other news I have finished the first Legend of the Seeker book and am now on to the second one. We also watch Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. It was really good. I want to read the books that it if based off of. We watched Motherhood that was pretty good. We are on a Uma Thurman kick. I love her. I also bought a 4 movies in one combo from target that has 4 of the batman movies on it, of which Uma Thurman was in one. Milan has moved back to town. We went to happy hour today then walked around city place for a little bit. It was fun. I am so excited that she was back. I am looking forward to the fun times that we will have together in the future. I am also looking forward to the rest of the fall stuff coming out at Bath and Body Works soon!
Well until next time, which hopefully won't be as long as last time, I leave you with this though that Jeremy's mom told him day by day, hour by hour, step by step the Lord leads us on our path so stop looking around and look up.
