Slacker

Sorry I haven't been a very good blogger lately. I think maybe I have weeks with lots to say and then weeks with nothing to say. Not sure which category this week falls into, but I'll do my best to make this post worthwhile.

I just went outside in shorts and a t-shirt. I guess I think if I want it badly enough and believe it enough it will, in fact, be warm when I step outdoors. Speaking of cold...I guess hell froze over since the Saints won the Super Bowl. Amazing.

Wow. That reminds me of how much fun this weekend was! Best friends came to town and we played like it was 1999. Oh wait, that was partied like it was 1999. Well, we did some of that too. I think Old Venice was introduced to a whole new bit of awesomeness Saturday night. A group of girls somehow managed to get them to play the Macarena. Yes, that group of girls was us. And we made a friend named Quinton: Co-Manager. Fun times.

Hmmm. What to do? What to do? Sit here and eat something? Or go workout and then sit here and eat something? Why did Zumba class have to be cancelled tonight?!?!

Sooooo. I start Tupelo next week. Yep, it's here. Can't really believe it. The countdown to completing this dietetic internship begins!!

Mama and Daddy are coming Friday. Best part...aside from seeing them (duh)...they're bringing a King Cake. Now I haven't been on the coast at Mardi Gras since 2003 so to say that I am excited about this would be an understatement. "You can get a King Cake at the store here" you might say. And to that I would reply "the King Cakes here are basically stale cinnamon rolls compared to the moist, fresh amazingness of the King Cakes at home." Besides missing the King Cake, I also really miss getting 3 whole days off of school for this special holiday. Who says being coast trash isn't a good thing??

Okay okay. I'm getting up now. I guess I have absolutely no excuse since the gym is exactly 47 seconds away from my front door (that's starting the time after the door is already locked).

Love and miss.

Don't stop believin'

Lyrics made famous by Journey and revitalized by the cast of Glee. Well, that's the way I like to think of it, but I'm sure some would beg to differ seeing as the Journey version is still pretty popular. Oh well. I bring this up because I am watching Glee at the moment. And pretending I can write a paper at the same time. While also blogging. My middle name is Multi-tasker after all.

I love how use I've become to these below freezing weather conditions. My 7th winter in north Mississippi, I guess I'm accepting the fact that it must get cold in January and February whether I like it or not. My favorite part of this southeastern cold front is listening to them talk about it on the Weather Channel in the morning. Am I really talking about the weather??

I went to kettlebell class last night. Today I can barely do simply tasks such as walking or sitting down and standing up. Why must muscles get sore??

Can I mention that it's 2010?!? What the heck. Remember when the world was freaking out about the millennium? Yeah. That was 10 whole years ago. How 'bout them apples.

It's about that time. Time for me to start looking for a job that I get paid for and moving to a city that doesn't begin with Stark. Update on the internship: Second week back, 4 weeks at the Health Departments, 2 weeks at the Dialysis Center, 12 weeks in Tupelo. The countdown begins.

Well, that's all for now. Back to make believe world with Glee and for real world with homework.

Love and miss.

Hello New Year

Whoa, I haven't posted in a while. Oops. Things happening recently:

~Finished the semester. 1/2 way done with my dietetic internship :)

~My BFF, Anna, is now engaged :) :)

~I'm working at the bank this week. I swore this past summer would be the last time....but I'm flat broke :(

~Hanging out with sophomore year roommate and friend, Jenna, this weekend :)

~Going to Jackson for New Year's Eve :) :) :)

Oh my gosh. I am sitting here thinking "what should I write about"...isn't that sort of defeating the purpose of having a blog?? I feel like if I have nothing to say then I should not be attempting this post at this exact moment. I guess I began writing it because I vainly thought people missed reading it.

Well, one thing I know to write about is this: sometimes I wish the whole present giving thing wasn't a part of Christmas. Not because I'm a procrastinator and wait till the last minute (I just finished my shopping today) but because it takes our minds off of what we should actually be thinking about. I know, I know. Giving is not necessarily a bad thing because of all those reasons we're reminded of when we go to church the Sunday before Christmas. But I have seen firsthand what the stress of the season does to people, and sometimes I just wish we could eliminate all of that. You know what I mean?? My family likes being together. Just the 5 of us (Good luck to whoever marries into this bunch). That's my favorite part of the holiday. This week I hope we all remember why we have this holiday in the first place...the love and grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father...and forget about all the things we need to do before Thursday night at 12 a.m.

Wow, I think I just had a bit of a Libbie moment. Not quite as good as her though.

Love and miss.

MY DAWGS JUST WON THE EGG BOWL!!! And they didn't just win it. They creamed Ole Miss!! Hopefully all those recruits that were in Davis Wade today are getting their pens ready.

I can't believe I wasn't there. I wanted to be in two places at once. Mama and I enjoyed watching it in our p-jammers and dancing around the house.

Go A.D.!!

Go Chris Relf!!

Go Dan Mullen!!

I guess there is no need to mention the fact that our basketball team lost their game yesterday by ONE point because TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BE A BULLDOG!!!!!!

Gobble Gobble

I love Thanksgiving. I mean, why would you not love a reason to eat and eat and eat some more?? Beats me. I sadly missed out on Turkey Day last year because of a b-u-g, so I am p-u-m-p-e-d about this year and eating my face off.

I have fallen back into my old ways of procrastinating. Oops. With only 4 more weeks until Christmas vaykay, my new philosophy is "it will get done." Hmmm, not sure if that's the way to go, but hey...it'll get done.

Um, is it bad if I'm not coming back for the Cholesterol Bowl?? The idea of hanging out with my mom is way more appealing.

Hmmm. I'm trying to think of any funny internship stories that have happened recently. I remembered that telling stories from these 9 months was why I started this bloggy in the first place. I don't know why I would think people would be interested in hearing about how I flip through my planner instead of writing papers or learned how to Gchat with 5 people at once and make it look like I am doing work in case someone important walks in. ???

Sorry. No funworthy stories to tell at this exact moment. These first 2 weeks at my new rotation have been uneventful. I'll report back as soon as something happens.

I asked Santa for a new cam for Christmas, and when I get one (I think Santa wants me to buy it myself) I am going to figure out how to start putting pics on this here bloggy. Will that make things more interesting?? (Hmmm. guess it depends on what said pictures are of.)

I jumped on the bandwagon and am now a Twitterer.....or Tweeter.....or whatever. Again, I have no idea why I think so highly of myself and would think that people would care what I am doing. I think things are always more amusing to me than they are to others. Oh well.

Love and miss.
