Miss Moo

Ok, I had to put some of these on here because she is the most precious little thing I've ever seen! Here are a few pictures of Miss Moo:



Random me this, random me that...

Yesterday I went out into the Christmas rush. Yes, Its not a surprise to hear that I've just started my Christmas shopping. I do this every year. I can't help it, I feel so much like I'm chasing myself anyways that it's the norm for me. Next year I'm going to start Christmas shopping in July. That is one of my goals. I didn't really have any wants this year, I'm so excited for the wedding I just want that to be taken care of and planned.

I'm having a super hard time finding a church that will marry us since we do live together, and are not members of a church. That isn't because we don't want to become members, but I'm never able to go to church during the morning hours. Once I start teaching and Colby and I are half way settled we'll definitely join a church, but right now I think it would be wrong to join a church if we aren't able to attend. I called the park board today and its 250.00 to rent a park for a wedding and if it rains the lady basically told me that I'm Shit outta luck. I'm so STRESSED OUT! I want it to be planned for me. Ladies feel free to input on this I need it.

Things I have:
  • Dress
  • Reception Site
  • Colby's Wedding Band
Things I don't have:
  • Everything else.
Oy!

I have ONE standards paper to pass, and i've been waiting to see if its passed or not ALL MORNING! I have to have it done by tomorrow morning at 8:30am! I'm tired and mad, i'm missing work for this crap.

Tis' the season

Tonight I found out that I passed my third standards paper. ONE MORE LEFT!!! I'm super excited. Tonight I've just been waiting to get those results so I've not really known what to do with myself, because I have nothing to do but WAIT! Next week I should find out if I passed the praxis exam or not.... Its up in the air, it was a really tough test.

In other news: It's that time of year again when the wal-mart customers are at their cheeriest. Today I had this lady looking for Moon Shoes, boots that you strap on and can bounce in-I always wanted a pair as a child..., I found a pair on the very top shelf. The shelf that says - Get an associate to help you. I started to get the box off the riser, and the lady shoved me out of the way and said, "I'm taller I'll get it." I looked at the lady in amazement because she was all of 5 foot 6 inches tall and here I am 6 foot and she's taller than me. People are so weird. So I moved out the way and watched her jump around until I stepped in and finished the job.

Vulnerability

I am extremely exhausted! I've had such a busy day today at school! Today we had "Showcase" it's where everyone has to present a piece of writing that they've been working on all semester. I decided that I would create a letter for my dad telling him how proud I am for how far he's come.

I sat down in front of tons of people and tried to explain why I wrote this letter, and that I wasn't going to write it all because I wouldn't get through the whole thing. As I sat there so vulnerable, I attempted to read just one paragraph. I didn't even get through that. I started getting a lump in my throat put my hand to my face, and when my voice started to squeak I knew the water works had been turned on. I had to stand up and quietly go to my seat. I've come a long way this semester.

Curse of the skinny jeans...

So tonight as I was doing laundry looking for my favorite pair of jeans, that I have yet to find, I opened my closet and there they were...not my favorite pair- my skinny jeans. Every morning when I open my closet I look up and there they are, nicely folded sitting on the top shelf. I say all this while I'm eating a bowl of honeycombs, but I want to burn those jeans! I've not been able to fit into those jeans for two summers now. So I take the jeans down out of the closet tonight and try both pairs on. It was ugly. I did manage to get them over the thighs, but It took an act of God to get out of them. I started to feel claustrophobic and thought I was going to have to call in reinforcements, but then I peeled them off and put on a much more comfortable pair of scrub pants. Afterwards I threw those jeans in the back of my closet, and came downstairs to put on Sex and the City season 4.

I've stopped drinking soda, which was a HUGE step for me now I think I've found the wedding dress, and I have motivation to work my ass into shape.
