I'm sorry!!

Ok, so I feel a little bad for not updating this, but I was so busy with vacation..and you know...having fun :), that I just couldn't make myself sit down and write for a bit. So...I apologize, and in the future I will try to keep it more updated :). So, down to business...
Vacation was amazing. It was so nice to be able to get away from everything for awhile. Erin and Tim were awesome...so I'd like to send a shout out to them...Thank you so much, for letting me stay with you, and everything you did and are still doing for me, you have no idea how much I appreciate it.
Denver is absolutely huge. The city is amazing. There are so many opportunities for a person out there. And as most of you know, I am moving out there...however, it's been moved up, and I'm actually moving out there in 2 weeks or so. I saw a Bob Dylan concert while I was out there, and it was awesome. So, I also thank Dane for taking me. I had an amazing time...whether or not there was a dancing cowboy dancing in front of us, along with the lady with poofy hair :). Erin, Tim, and I all went to The Red Rocks Ampitheater, it was very big, and very red :). The place was very big, and the fact that Louis Armstrong performed there, was pretty cool. I had my first Thai food experience while I was out there also. Pad Tai is what it was called. Mmm Mmm Mmm :). Then, hmm...let's see...my friend Dane made dinner. They were Cornish Hens, and he introduced me to asparagus, which I might add, is very good :). Then I had a second Cornish Hen experience, when Erin, Tim, Dane, and I all got dressed up and went to a restaurant called, Bistro Vendomi (sp?). It was a very nice restuarant, and the food was absolutely divine. Afterwards we went out to the Cheesecake Factory, whle still being all dressed up. Those were just a few of the main points of my trip. And there were so many more amazing things that happened. But, I would be on here forever, if I wrote them all. So, I will leave you for now. I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break.

Almost there...

Ok...so tomorrow is the day I leave for Colorado...only for a week of course...i'm not moving there until the end of the school year. But, today I took a shorter shift at work, so I would have time to buy a few things that i'm going to need, and also to pack. And maybe do a load of laundry. I still have so much to do! I think that my worst fear is that my bags will way too much and they won't let me tak eit on the plane! But, if i packl light and only bring what I need to, I should be fine. Man, I can't wait....It's going to be a blast. Erin said that I might be able to use her computer while I'm out there, so maybe I'll post bits and pieces of the trip, when I can. Fo rnow, I need to finish getting ready for work, and finish making my list of things to bring with me :).

Our puppy...

You know, the funny thing about our puppy, Joy, is how she runs. She really only uses her front paws. Her back legs, just kind of 'hop' along. I don't know how many of you have seen the movie, Milo and Otis (it's not a veyr well known movie), but there's this song that plays when Otis (the dog) comes charging down the path way. Whenever I see Joy running across the yard, I think of that song..."Here comes the dog, strong and brave...ruff...here comes the dog...". She's so tiny, and when she runs as fast as she can across our rather large yard, her ears that are about half the size of her head, flop all the way around, sometimes turning somewhat inside out. She's so small, but she thinks she's so tough. Our bigger dog will be lying in the middle of the yard, and suddenly she'll jet towards him and try to take him out. He goes easy on her though, he knows she's just playing :).

Odd neighbors, and random street lights...

Ok, so the same thing happens every night that I drive home. There, are these 4 street lamps that I drive by on my way out of town, and every night, without fail the first one always flickers off when I drive by it, the others however always stay on. It's a little freaky. It kinda reminded me of Harry Potter. Anyone who atleast knows the first Harry Potter book, knows what I'm talking about. The main wizard in that book, Albus Dumbledore, has a little thing, called a "puter-outer". It looks kinda like a lighter. He uses it to click street lights on and off. So, whenever I drive by and see that one lamp flicker off, my thoughts immediatly turn to, maybe there is something secretive that is going on that nobody is supposed to know about :). Another thing that happens every night when I comehome, is what my odd odd neighbors do. No matter what time of the night it is, 1 in the morning, 10 at night, midnight, 2 in the morning, my neighbors always turn on their porch light and peek out their door to see who it is. Always. It freaks me out a little bit. It's almost as though they are spying on me. My neighbors are kinda freaky though, from what I'm told they are a little paranoid that it's the cops or something like that, and if you knew the people who live in my town, you would know why :). I wonder if I should take up an odd habit that I do all the time, kinda like the lampost. Oh wait...I already have that habit, I blog here :).

Happy thoughts...

It's amazing, what little things can just make your day. In my case, it's a mystery flower. I had a fiction final today, which i got done with, in about 50 minutes or so. So, I'm on my way out, and I run into this guy from my fiction class, who, I might add, was one of those guys that you would catching glancing at you from across the room :). Basically, to make a long story short, he asked for my number, and wants to hang out. That in itself made me pretty happy. But then, I got to my truck, and tucked in the handle was a beautiful flower. It's white, with a bunch of little white flowers the make's a little flower bundle, you know? I don't know who put it there. It could be someone I know, it's could be a secret admirer. Whoever it was, I know atleast that they were thinking of me, and took time out of their day to pick me a flower and tuck it in my door handle. Which, I might add, is one of the reasons I love spring. It's warm, beautiful, and tends to put me in quite a good mood :).

Catching up, and a sunny day...

Well, I guess I have been pretty lax in keeping these up to date, but what can I say, I work all weekend, last week was dead week, and this week was finals week...I'm a busy busy girl :). BUt, good news about it all, is that the past few days have been absolutely gorgeous. I was so excited, because tooday, I was able to wear a tank top, shorts and flip flops. And, not only was I able to wear that, but I was also able to do my studying outside. There is this grove kind of thing on campus. It's right between the PE building, the dorms, and Werner University Building(the building that has the bookstore, some lunch places, and alot of the student affairs offices). It's this little field, surrounded by trees, with a statue or two. It's pretty relaxing, and I was doing really well with my studying, right up to the point when some of my friends saw me and decided to start conversation, and anyone that knows me, knows that I am very easily destracted, which, I guess, isn't a very good thing :). But, I did finish my studying. So tomorrow, at noon, I take my second to last final. It's a fiction final. Then on Friday, I take my last final, which is my Economic Geography final. Then the following monday.....MY FLIGHT LEAVES FOR DENVER!!! But, of course, you...I'm not excited at all *cough* yeah right *cough*.....ah well, so I will have my vacation :).

Another "Have you ever"....

Have you ever been in a situation that have a hard time understanding? The kind of situation where you see what's happening, but you don't believe it? The kind of situation, where, under normal conditions, you wouldn't have gone anywhere near? But, for some reason or another, you can't help but be in that one situation. It makes life so much more difficult, when you can't even understand your own logic. Where you can't understand the logic of the other people in that same situation. One would think that you would never have gotten your self in it in the first place, but there was something wanting...something...almost intriguing. Any yet....you know that what you want can never be....*sigh* why must life be so difficult?

Have you ever....

Have you ever met a person, where you had so much fun hanging out with them, that youwanted to hang out with them over and over again. Some, people would say, it's because you "like" that person, but it's not like that. I just have alot of fun hanging out with this person. Twice in the last week, we've gone out to eat, and he drove me to a completely different town, so I could get y spare key from my mom, when I locked my keys in my truck. Today I drove him around, so he could go pick his car up from the auto shop(he went in to get his brakes fixed), and then Saturday I'm going to go watch him paly Lacrosse. He really wanted me to watch him. But, one of the sweetest things he did today, is when we went out to eat, I had a hambuger, and I had gotten some ketchup on the side of my mouth, so he took a napkin and wiped it off my face. I thought it was cute. Some people might be like..."Ok, that's just wierd". But, I thought it was really cool. We goof around all the time, and although we may be adults, we still act like little kids. I've never watched Lacrosse before, in fact I don't even really know what it is. He said that I'll fall in love with it. He's also got me listening to country music, that and another friend of mine. But, I never listened to country music before, in fact, I hated it...with a passion. But, he's affecting me in some way. I'm not sure which way, but it's not bad. Unfortunately, once I move, I doubt I'll see him at all. Atleast, not for a long time. He told me today, "Man, why do you have to move to Colorado?" He had said before that I can't move to Colorado, because I have to stay here and be his friend :). He just broke up with his girlfriend of two years, and he's trying to get over her. Which I might add, he's doing it quite succesfully.....he threw away every picture he had of her, and isn't answering her phone calls. He said it makes him feel better :). He was going to go on a date with one of my friends, so he was asking dating advice, and we had alot of fun just talking about the whole thing. But, something happened, some mis-communication or something, and they ended up not going out that night. He was actually relieved, because he was so stressed about the date. But, he's only been single for about a month now, so it's understandable. Oh well, I better not read too much into it. I'm leaving soon anyway...for now, I think I'll just enjoy life, and have fun :).

Deer....

Why is it, that deer feel this need to stand in the middle of the road? On my way home tonight, I was driving along on my gravel road, and suddenly, in my head lights...there is this deer. Just standing there staring at me...I inched my truck slowly towards it, and when it seemed like it wasn't going to move...I honked my horn a couple of times. It quickly leaped off the road and over the fence on the other side. This isn't the first time it's happened either. There have been many nights, where there have been deer in my way. I guess it has to do with the fact, that I kinda live out in the country :). And twice today, a black cat crossed my path when I was driving....should I be worried? Oh well, I won't, because I'm not superstitious. :)

Well here it is....

Both of my sisters finally convinced me to create my own blog. So....prepare to be dazzled by my wit.....be dumbfounded by my logic.....and laugh at me for what I write :). All jokes aside...I love being able to just let go of my thoughts somewhere, and this is the place where I shall do it :). For now, I will put all my previous blogs I had on another website...until at which time....I come up with new ones :).
