So now that today is tomorrow, what did i do yesterday?

(FYI: I didn't have any class today!)

(2 orders of mini corndogs and chili cheese fries)

felt sick for a while after

watched greys anatomy

(i think this is so adorable....and i apologize for the moms language)

got ready for work

worked from 4:30-10pm

had french onion soup and some nachos

got home and herbert had arrived

(herbert is my bloated belly. Basically i look 3-4 months pregnant)

talked with my mom and dad on their bed
looked for my cell phone
it ended up being in my moms purse
how it got there, neither of us know
blogged
went to bed

and that was my day. so much time wasted. but i don't even care. it is the end of the semester. everything gets put off. 

(67) Recovery

I woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday but definitely not running at 100%

I took some daytime cold and flu medicine and that held me over for a little while.

I nearly fell asleep during my first class.

I continued my soup and tea regimen and it kept me going until i could get home and rest.

I spent my afternoon and evening laying down napping or sitting in my usual spot vegging in front of the tv. As great as this is, it's not very productive.

Around 8, Emily came over and we headed to target where we bought baby shower gifts. There is so much cute baby stuff out there.

While at target i also stocked up on real cold fighting stuff. i bought day time cold and cough medicine and night time robitussin. I have got to kick this ongoing virus to the curb. I cannot stand to be sick any longer.

Note: if any of this is not clear, i blame it on the nighttime cold medicine.

P.S. IF YOU NEED A GOOD LAUGH, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS

(the girls in the green shamrock shirts are my cousin's twin daughters)

How Do You Get To God? from FCCHB on Vimeo.
Umm my favorite part is around 42 seconds.
"see my leprechaun"
i couldn't stop laughing the first time i watched it.
I hope you enjoyed this as much, if not more, as i did.

(62) hi friday

11 hours of sleep later, I'm up. yah i slept in till 11 today. Probably not the best idea since now im still tired. Too much sleep is not a good thing for me

Random, but i think this is necessary to share.

I have horrible skin, especially on my fingers. I always have split or peeling skin and horrible cuticles. The past few days i've been trying to heal this issue. I put prescription ointment on my fingers and then put band aids on them. Apparently these band aids have super strong adhesive because i can't get them off without ripping my skin off with them.

Today i will be going to class with part of a band aid on my left thumb and most of a band aid on my right.

Well, by the time i got to school had managed to get both band aids off. Go me! hahaha-im so lame.

In class today we went over our parent project. I had already reviewed the instructions and had mentally started planning it. I decided to do this project on my own instead of with a group. This eliminates schedule conflicts, different ideas, and group dynamic issues.

On my way home i stopped by once read books and bought water for elephants. I am so ready for spring break. (just one more week- i don't even have class next friday-only 4 days to get through)

Now for a video.

These guys are hilarious. They really bring to life how ridiculous girls can be.

i spent my evening going through magazines and clipping out specific letters for a gift i am making.

For dinner i had leftovers: corned beef and cabbage, and a couple hours later i had a slice of pizza, then 2 oreos and milk.

(50) Over so soon

My weekend of group projects is done. Today we filmed our skit thing and it went really well. The "set" looked great and everything came together quickly. We celebrated the completion of it with eating rice crispy treats. Here is a taste of what we did:

I created an outfit for a contest and it made it into the finals. You can vote for me (look #7):

KRISTINA J.: Let's Pretend It's Spring! Finalists: "I go away for a week and look what you all come up with!I was blown away at all the amazing spring looks you createdand was so inspired I or..."

Another movie i look forward to seeing.
I don't normally like Russell Brand but this movie looks really good.


So i am supposed to be studying right now. It's not going to well, hence the movie trailer watching and dilly dallying.
Well the weekend is almost over and my test is tomorrow morning so I guess I should really open my textbook back up and keep reading and rereading my notes.
Why does the weekend always go so quickly????

Update:
I got a slight amount of studying accomplished.
TV got the best of me...and well there are some great shows out there. New discoveries:
Secret Millionaire- A definite tear jerker
Auction Kings- good old antiques and price surprises

(48) Feeling Accomplished

Oh hello friday. 

Today is the start of my school/project filled weekend.

But before i made it to school i had an interesting start. I was walking to the bus stop and saw two police cars right in front of it. There was a homeless man sitting on the bench and the police were talking to him. Apparently he was spending time at the library but had urinated in public. They asked him to leave and he did. I was still waiting for my bus and then another police officer arrived. Now there were three police cars, no homeless man, and me standing by the police cars. Everyone driving past kept staring as they went bye. I kept thinking about how people probably thought, "what did that girl do." Oh well, i know it had nothing to do with me. The bus arrived but had to pull up way further since the police cars blocked the bus stop. I was worried the bus wouldn't stop and i would have to ask the police officer for a ride. Thankfully i got on (the people on the bus gave me a weird look) and i made it to school and got on with my day.

I got to school at 10:40 and observed at the preschool. One less thing for me to have to do next week.

Today was my parent education backpack project presentation. It went really well. We chose to present first and get it over with. My teacher liked the activity i put together, and asked to keep it-Always a good sign of getting a good grade.

I got home after 4 and postponed my jury duty. (i had needed to do that for a couple of weeks now-the jury duty interfered with my vacation over spring break.) What a relief to have that taken care of.

Now for what the weekend holds:

-studying for a test on ch.1-4 in prenatal development and infancy

-studying for my final FCSE 299-7wk class (reading a packet full of articles, and going over the powerpoint notes)

-Doing research on Irish immigrants settled in new york in 1860 for our project being filmed on sunday

-writing my ch. 9 summary

SO how much of this studying is happening tonight? 

Hmmmmm....probably not much. I just want at least one night not thinking about school. So tomorrow is dedicated to studying.

P.S. I think i have decided to read Water for Elephants over spring break.
I am so excited for the movie to come out in April. I mean can it get much better....Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson...ya it's gonna be good.

(36) Happy Days Are Here Again

Well I ended up getting 4 hours of sleep.

I'll be tired, but I'll survive.

The beautiful sunshine made it a lot easier to decide to get out of bed and start the day.

I went to church today, and I got to see Emily!!!!! I also took a spiritual gifts assessment. My top three gifts were: 1. Creative Ability 2. Hospitality 3. Administration.
Later, Emily and I went shopping-she had gift cards to use.
We went to forever 21, and i found so many things i wish i could have bought, such as....

I made it out of the store without buying anything. Emily bought a shirt and several pieces of jewelry. 

We ran some errands and then headed home for tacos and watched Life as We Know It (she hadn't seen it )

At 3:30 i went on facebook, and what did i find on my news feed???

Does it look familiar? I showed off this creation in my Valentine's Day post

WWEPW used the outfit i submitted as their icon for their sweater contest post.

My creation was featured on their website. It is the last look featured. I like to think she saved the best for last.

Song of the day


I got a little more work done today. I definitely did not accomplish my goal of having all of my to do list completed. However, everything i have left to do is manageable.

Around 8pm i gave up on the studying and decided to go the movies with Emily and her mom. We watched Just Go With It. It was hilarious and a really good movie. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. SO if you are looking for a laugh and don't mind some inappropriate jokes and spending anywhere from 10-12 dollars to do so, then go see it.

And now I am off to bed because unlike most everyone else, I have school tomorrow. It is so lame but i am just going to pretend that everyone else is at school or work too, and not enjoying their monday off.

(3) A Good Day

Theme Song of the Day

9:22am

Morning Wake up Call from the Dr.'s office.

Luckily Andrea(woman who called) was very nice and easy to understand.

Dr. Appt. confirmed for Wednesday @3:45, 3rd floor, suite 304.

It's a different Dr than i've been seeing. Maybe she will find that being sick since November is not normal. Maybe she will actually prescribe me antibiotics. Maybe she can prescribe me allergy meds. I think I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it's not just wishful thinking.

9:30am

Made myself get out of bed....it wasn't easy.

Poured myself a huge cup of coffee.

This mug is the size of my head

TV: Caught the last half of Live with Regis and Kelly

(And Regis is moving on from the show after 28 years. Is it bad to be happy about this. Too bad. I always felt so bad for the people he interviewed.  He didn't know much about them, he would interrupt their responses, and so many of them looked uncomfortable. I will, however, miss Kelly and His talks that happen the first 10-15 minutes of the show. But that's about all I'll miss about good old Regis)

5pm-11pm
Work
It started off really slow, which was a pleasant change from the previous shifts over the last few weeks(where i felt like i was being thrown into chaos). I was in a positive mood the whole time, which was also a nice change. The past few shifts I had been easily overwhelmed, stressed, and not myself. It was so wonderful to be back in the swing of things. The pace picked up after two servers were sent home,which meant it was time to step it up. Me and my coworker kept busy from about 7 to 10 (closing). By the end of the night I had made over 17% in tips, which is good for where I work.
Sigh of relief for the night being over and being home.
And an even bigger sigh of relief for being back to my happy, positive self at work.

(1) Playing Hookie

It's sunday.....

Alarm clock went off at 7:30 am. I hit snooze 3 times and on the 4th I turned it off instead. I ended up getting out of bed at 8:00. (not too bad) Im glad to know I have a natural alarm within myself. I got up and showered. When i left the bathroom to get coffee, mom mentioned that she was thinking about playing hookie from church today. I went along with that idea and proceeded to get my coffee and sit out back. We soaked up the morning sun, fed the fish by hand, and meal planned for the week.

Video of the fish kissing my fingers:

After spending an hour plus outside, we headed back in to get things done (the reason we played hookie to begin with). Got dishes done, threw out rotting fruit (lovely i know), and proceeded to put christmas decorations away (i know its a bit late, oh well).

The rest of todays happenings will continue in list/photo form
