no computer

I MISS YOU!! I am reading when I can, but I do apologize for lack or response or posting myself!! I feel so out of the loop and left out. Things have been crazy busy; snow days, classes, homework, papers, projects, EEEK!!

PS: I've discovered that I completely suck at dating, or not dating, or whatever it is you're supposed to do. Or I'ms till working on finding that right guy, I guess....... one day

As of yesterday....

"Back to school! Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool! I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight! Ohhhh, back to school! Back to school! Back to school! Well, here goes nothing!" (name that movie... :)

FORGET the fact that I already took this class at FREAKING William and Mary BUT WHATEVER!! Apparently Wesleyan thinks very highly of themselves and "it's not quite the same thing". UGH

But I'm off to start back up classes to finish up my license (yes, minor detail). I've been living in this nice little bubble, loop hole, whatever you want to call it, but if I want to get my real act together, start a masters program, even think about National Boards.... gotta get these couple classes out of the way.

All I'm saying, is we better get out on time, if not early, because I really want to go to Old Habits tonight....

The Glory Days

I have a wonderful group of friends who tell stories over and over again. Among us, they never seem to get old, and believe it or not, stay relatively true to the reality. I used to laugh whenever we'd get into story telling mode, but it makes me realize how much we love being together and cherish the memories we have made. If you never had stories to tell, then what have you been doing with your life???

Last night, a friend from college came into town, JPB and TWF (White Oak boys), and WIDD and R&WP met up at our Sunday night stomping ground, The Goat. I believe I've talked of this fine establishment before, but if you don't remember, let me refresh your memory. Every Sunday evening, they have Dollar Mystery Beer. Summed up, you walk up to the bar, hand the man a dollar, and he reaches into a large trash can full of ice and random beers, and grabs whatever is on top. It's fantastic. With the Carolina/Wake game on, it was a rowdy night, full of the typical random collection of people, and we were all huddled around our table just shooting the breeze. Not that you don't want to live in the present and appreciate all you have at the moment, but looking back at the good times, makes you appreciate where you are now! So I loved sitting around, getting Goat faced at the shit bar, with good friends, old, kinda old, and new..... A wonderful way to start off the week...

AND to top it all off, TWF's father came into town late night. Now Mr F is a wonderful man, and I would consider him my second father. Mrs F is my godmother and they are a wonderful family and have been a huge part of my life and it made me so unbelievable happy to see him. We normally see each other over the holidays, but timing never worked, and so I hadn't seen Mr F since this summer? Goodness, I can't even remember! So after a few beers, staying up pretty late for a Sunday, and sharing a bed (don't cuddle well with the ladies... good thing I like the man folk :), I'm a little tired this afternoon. But the sun is shining, it was a wonderful weekend, and it's going to be a great week.

I hope Mr F stays in town tonight so we can hang out some more!! Makes me miss my Papa though.... His birthday is coming up. Any suggestions for a good daddy birthday gift?

First day back

Welcome welcome back, to me and anyone who reads. Since Thanksgiving you can definitely say my writing has been piss poor. Forgive the language. At the current moment, my computer is taking what I like to call a "leave of absence". So now I get home at the end of the day and kinda wander around my house wondering what people did before Internet. So I go and watch TV. It's a sad life I lead sometimes..... BUT, hopefully after a little trip to Best Buy (thank God I got the 3 year warranty), I can have a computer again in the foreseeable future.

Christmas was wonderful in Virginia. New years was a blast at the beach. And if I had my own computer and wasn't sneaking around on school computers, I would post pictures and probably write a whole lot more! But alas....

As far as the boy front... I don't have the energy. Let's just say, I feel like I'm falling into the same thing again. I'm trying to be patient, not jump to conclusions, just go with the flow. But for those that know me, I'm not so good at that. Long story short, sweetest, cutest, romantic 24 hours spent together, in what is essentially a 1-night-stand. But then a week later we meet up at The P and hang out all night and I even get a fantastic kiss good night. Then texting back and forth over Christmas, and then the trip to the beach with everyone (awful, awkward, but so much fun). It's not that I want a RELATIONSHIP right now, it would just be nice to know if whatever it is that we're doing might actually be going anywhere. But asking or hinting or implying anything along those lines would not be going with the flow now would it.....???? UGH!! I'm not sure what to call him, or if it's even worth coming up with a name. So I'll let it be for now and if I have reason to write about him again, I"ll think of something. FB (Fun Bobby) did call me over break, as well as a few texts, saying we should go out again sometime "just for fun". Not entirely sure what that means, but I'm always up for a little fun :)

Below is the house we stayed in at the beach. At most there were 14 of us, and at the least (for 2 whole days) only 5 of us. Not too shabby, eh??

XOXOXO to you all!!!

Curl up and snuggle....

That's really all I want to do tonight, but I have quite a few things on my to-do list. But let me set the scene for you. I am sitting on my bed, computer on lap, '2 Weeks Notice' playing on the tv, and Tanner (the cat) curled up across my legs. MUST GET UP!!! I will I will, right after I finish this post :)



AND this is a milestone for me. Because of my many a hiatus, I am just now reaching my 100th post. I contemplated doing all the tags I have yet to acknowledge, do 100 things about me, only write 100 words, and a few other possibilities. But that seems like so much pressure. Yes, it's a milestone, but I can do all those things another time. Right now, I just wanted to say hello, I haven't forgotten about you, and say Merry Christmas. Tomorrow is the last day of Kindergarten before winter break (a whole 2 weeks!!!!!) and I am so ready for it. There is a lot going on over the next 2 weeks so I feel like I'll have a lot to be (potentially) updating you on.



But for now, I'm going to turn up "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (with Jenny from Gossip Girl as Cindy Lou Who), and get to town on organizing my closet; or cleaning my bathroom; or doing laundry; or wrapping my kiddies presents; or vacuuming; or painting my nails; or .... nah, I'll probably just watch the Grinch...




Once I upload my pictures, I can't wait to show you what I made for my kids this year! It took all of the past 2 weeks and about 5 hours last night, BUT I'm so happy with the turn out... You'll just have to wait and see!!!

Bless MY heart.....

Lordy lord chile... I must have won the worst blogger award. When it is December 15th and your last post was about Thanksgiving. Bad MJ, bad. So here I am, probably going to be late to school because I just couldn't not write something. It has been eating at me and to be honest I haven't even done a good job at keeping up reading everyone elses!! I know I have been tagged by quite a few people, so don't worry. I know who you all are, and what my jobs are, they will get done.

Updates:

FANTASTIC WEEKEND.... Wonderful amazing roller coaster in the end perfect weekend. Let me put it this way. I cried, I laughed, I danced, I drank, and though I'm still utterly exhausted, I can't stop smiling.

My baby bro got into Hampden-Sydney early decision!! Woop Woop.. He is doing his job of continuing the preppy frat-tastic level of my family. I'm so proud of him and he is super excited which makes it all that much better.

I haven't been all that great at the no nails biting thing. But yesterday (aka: best day ever) I didn't bite my nails once. It's a nervous habit, and well, I guess I wasn't nervous about anything yesterday and I just had no desire to. This could be the beginning of something wonderful. GO ME!

5 days left of school until Chirstmas Vacation!!!

Kiki is coming to visit me this weekend!! She was my senior year roommate in the Tri Delta house and is getting married next October! I'm so excited. She is such a wonderful person, friend, everything and I can't wait to have her in Raleigh once again. We have some great Christmas parties lined up to attend, some wedding stuff to talk about, and God and time willing, some snuggling in bed watching some romantic comedy just like the old days :)

AND NOW I AM OFFICIALLY LATE FOR SCHOOL.. Happy Monday ladies (and gents?).
