im so excited!!!!

and i just can't hide it. you get the point!

(e:deeglam) is coming to visit me in july!!! for 4th of july weekend, and that one of my fav holidays, because it involves sun and swimming and yummy barbeque food and margaritas and fireworks!

i really think this is going to be my fav 4th ever which is hard to top since the last two were so much fun!

i have to say i am so glad we have reconnected because hse is kinda the last of my childhood friends i am actually in contact with, the others i seem to have fallen out of touch with, or we both changed so much, or they turned out to be bad friends.

anyway, i am so so so happy she is coming, and it really makes me feel good that she is coming all the way here for a visit because no one ever comes to visit me minus (e:hodown) who comes all the time, but its cool because we lost touch for a while and it's good to know that even though you go through rough patches the true friends always find their way back and it's even better than before!

hurray for friends!!!!!! :O)

the internets

so i have been feeling really weird about blogging lately. sometimes i feel like technology is ruining real human relationships.

how often do we pick up the phone and call people nowadays? instead, we cyber stalk, follow people's facebook and twitter, and read their blogs to find out what is going on with them.

this makes me feel so uncomfortable. i guess because i automatically deem all people sketchy and it seems like all of this tech stuff enables people to have such a "pretty" display of who they are, without really getting to know them.

im going back to the old days of person to person contact.

ok, and i do like to text when i am bored.

i chose to keep this blog because it has so much to do with my life the last 4 years. most of my closest friends blog here, and i like knowing that i can get opinions and updates on people's lives, and it feels special because it is unique and small and community like.

i deleted my facebook. i found myself disliking it more and more, and rarely using it. most of my "friends" there are not real friends, so why do they need to know about me? plus facebook keeps changing and i find it annoying.

i don't really care what people are up to... and don't care to post what i am up to. if i do care, i will call you, or come see you.

that being said, i am going to try and blog more often here this summer!

the weather here has been absolutely amazing and i am looking forward to lots of pool time!

for mother's day, i am surprising my mom and taking her to the exhibit at the botanical gardens here they are having a chihuly show.

it should be pretty cool, and then we are going to some new mexican place she read about. would have celebrated last sunday but we both worked and technically i bought her breakfast and lunch that day, so she is spoiled but she is the best and most fav person of mine so she deserves it!

see ya later peeps!

too tired

so, my friend wants me to go out tonight to console this girl who is broken-hearted. you know me, i love any excuse to get dressed up and have fun.

but, working every weekend takes its toll on me, especially with how insane work has been. i had three exams this week and then two next week, my first on monday at 730 am.

although i am doing well in the class, i feel like the next two days will be zero fun and actually miserable for just a few hours of glamour.

lately i feel like i am always making social plans and then breaking them, but sleep is so much more important than it used to be.

plus, alcohol only makes me sick now when i drink it. this development started a while ago, and it seems that even just one glass of wine gives me a massive headache, and then i get tired and fall asleep.

i still like to go out, i just "pretend" that i am drinking.

i don't know, am i supposed to suck it up and go out and be tired because i am young and fun?

plus tomorrow is mothers day, and even though i have to work, so does my momma and even though we will both be at work, i don't want to be tired and cranky.

my legs hurt, and my back, and my neck, because the chairs at work are absolute crap, and i actually spend most of my time on my feet, and i need new sneakers with arch support.

i think this turned into one giant complaint.

did you know that there is somewhere between 5 and 30 million species of plants and animals? we only know of 10% of these and by the next century 50% will be extinct. this makes me sick, and i am an environmental glutton, which is more sick.

i am going to eat dinner... with meat involved which is also bad for the environment.

never underestimate

the importance of true friends.

not just the people who are there for the fun times, but the ones who will be by your side for the most difficult moments.

i am really lucky to have friends like this. as the years go by, i am realizing how much more valuable it is to have a small group of really dependable people around.

im back

i am never online these days.

it appears i have obtained somewhat of a social life, and the internet gets on my nerves.

i have realized i much prefer real life situations than spending hours sitting with my lappy.

the exciting real life things i have done this week:

i ate lots of yummy international food

my car now has new tires and i don't fear my life on the freeway

i am kicking ass and taking names in bio and doing alright in math which is quite a feat

i read

i took naps

i probably sneeze every few minutes due to my intense allergies that seem to worsen by the day

i discovered a bumper sticker on my car that reads, "i love pork tacos"

pleasure in the simple things people.

picking up a ho

(e:hodown)'s flight gets in in an hour. i will be the dutiful one to pick her up, even though no one im my family(ahem) evers takes or picks me up from the airport.

wait, i take that back. whenever i go to see the (e:hodown) i get a pretty sweet ride in a town car, or she gives me cab money. so that jab is solely for the momma ho who refuses any sort of ride or pick up from the airport on most occasions.

i am upset with (e:hodown) though, her septic tonsil nastiness has struck again, and she has strep throat. i will give up my room and bed and sleep in our cavern of a guest area to be woken up at 6 am every morning by noises of the coffee grinder and or the sun.

i told the (e:hodown) i am available to nurse her back to health when she has her tonsils taken out which was recommended by the doctor many a year ago. she is noncompliant, but i love her anyway.

i am now going to display tough love, because coming rights from the words of my sister, "i only feel bad for you if you were a child soldier or locked in a basement for 7 years." - something like that but you get the idea.

getting old

I am hungover from 3 drinks. I feel old. Or maybe drinking is just not for me anymore. It makes me so sleepy and I have an awful headache. I.suppose its way healthier and I won't have to worry about the extra calories. It was bound to happen because I feel like I always wanted to drink in blo but not so much here.
