( Insert Twilight Zone Music Here ).....

I was going to post this much earlier, but I had to go to work. So anyway, this is the 2nd time in a row that I have gotten up around 4:30 when I have to work the morning shift, which starts at 8:00. Why my body has to wake up that early, I don't have a clue. I have to go to Destin on Monday for training with CVS. But I'm working at the one in Chipley!!!! Sometimes I really don't understand why things are the way they are. I asked Raymond how it went and he told me that they pretty much just watched some videos and signed/filled-out some paperwork. Yeah 5 hours of thrillage. By the way, I have to be there at 9 a.m. and go until 2. On a lighter more happier note, Ashley & Daniel's Engagement Party went quite well. It was filled with ornaments, mexican food, and frosting. Oh! And tomorrow I get to play at a church that the music is a little to high for me right now. First of all, I haven't really played/practiced on my trumpet like I should, so I'm not were i was back when I was in the Chipola Jazz Band. And Secondly, I am always put on 1st part. Like this go around for instance. The notes get to be crazily high and the rhythms are a little ridiculous. I'm not having fun with it at all. But I still have to play tomorrow. So me whinning isn't really doing me any good. Oh well..... Until next time.

Just An Update....

So I'm done with my class at Chipola. I am still in the Troy Dothan Community Band. Our last Christmas Concert is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. in the Food Court at the Dothan Mall. I'm going to an awesome class called Zumba. Matthew is going to be back in Florida on the 18th! He'll be here about 2 weeks, which is really cool! I am now employeed at CVS!!! I work as a cashier. It has been pretty good so far. Other than that, things have been ok. Well.......until next time.

La Fajita......

La Fajita

Se volvio loca,

Ella se comio el pollo,

Con lechuga Y tomate!

So I Found Out....

That unfortunately, up in the mountains there isn't internet. I know, stupid me. I just didn't think about it. But I talked with my Aunt, and she said that she uses the library. SO, I'll shall be going over there to post stuff. She also said that the trees have turned colors. HUZZAH!!!!! It might even snow! So I'm oober excited. Oh, I FINALLY found my charm bracelet today. I have been looking for it forever! It was in my leather jacket. It has my emergency symbol on it saying that I'm a Diabetic. The other one is the charm that came with the bracelet. I'm going to get a Trumpet charm put on it soon...(hopefully).

So Guess What.....

I'll be here October 28th!!!! The Blue Ridge Mountains!! My great aunt and uncle have a cabin up there, so I'm riding up with my grampa on Wednesday and we'll come back Sunday late. My aunt and I will probably do some different things while up there. I'm oober excited!!! I'll post more about it when the time comes. So until then, live life and enjoy the amazing weather.

I wrote this when I was 12....

When the rain outside,

Is touching my face,

You stand to the side,

In that uncalm place.


Now as you can see,

I stand here alone,

To me I feel free,

To be here as one.


Now come stand with me,

From under the tree,

To be in the rain,

In this open plain.

Here.........

This is where I want to be with you. In a perfect world, I would like to go to someplace like this with you. Here, we could step on all of the crisp leaves, like we did in a simpler time. But because it isn't a perfect world all there is, is a photograph.

So Guess What......

First of all, I LOVE my Ashley! I am happy to say that I am going to be her Maid of Honor!!!!!! I have never been a Maid of Honor before. I have been a bridesmaid once for my friends Trent & Jennifer, but that is it. I am oober excited!!! I think that she wants the bridesmaid dresses deep green color, most likely emerald. Which, that color looks good on a lot of people. I'm ready to start my duties! Miss Ashley Funderburke is getting married to Daniel Carter. I thought it was cool that both couples that I had and will see get married, I've know both the bride and groom because they are all good friends. That's another thing........when I get married(only God knows when that is) I want the man I marry to be not only my husband, but also my best friend. That's what I see in Trent & Jennifer and Ashley & Daniel's relationship. A friendship, and that's what I hope for. I believe that God will send the right guy for me. A man that will love me no matter how goofy or weird I am(hopefully he is equally weird). Someone who knows who they are and knows who God is, and is strong in both areas. Oh, whomever you are be prepared. I am a diabetic and so that takes some money. I have luckily found that I can purchase my needles for $9.00 and my Glucophage for $4.00. So we're covered there. :D But seriously, I just want someone who will love me for me and all that goes with it. Because if you have to change yourself to be with someone, then honestly, they aren't the One. So changing the subject completely, I made a 95 on my 1st quiz in my computer class, and I actually talked to some people in it. You might think,"So what?" But I am one to not really talk or open up to people I don't know. I'm doing better, but its a slow process. I have a few close friends that I act like a complete dork around but other than that,...you will probably have to start the conversation.

So Far, So Good...

Well it's going pretty good in my Intro to Microcomputer Use class. I haven't had a computer class since 5th grade because I was in band, so I'm taking it now. I like my teacher, Mrs. Milton. We should be getting our schedule for all the assignments tomorrow. The only people that I know in my class are Kristen & Katherine. Not going to be joining the Chipola Jazz Band this time because I will be in the Troy Dothan Community Band starting September 21. Oh! The house is coming along stupendously! I FINALLY know what colors my room is going to be. The main wall is going to be Hallowed Hush, and for an accent color Chamois Cloth. So yay!!! Going back to talking about Chipola, everything over there reminds me of Matt. Its not like every single thing does, but there's quit a bit. Its just a little saddening. There were times when I wish he was there, but I try and busy myself with other things. I know it probably sounds like I'm whining or obsessed about this guy, but it's not like that. I just REALLY miss him. So I'll try not to be so whiny in my blogs to come. My apologies. Oh one thing though,"Matthew, you're still in the parking lot."

Guess What?!......Randomness!!!

Tomorrow I start back at Chipola! I'm super ready to get back, I am actually one of those dorky people who want to go back to school. I know....weird. Hmmmm, lets see....oh the hair is shorter!! But even though I like it I still want my long hair back! It was pretty much awesome back then. People actually asked me if I wanted to trade hair with them?! Yeah Right! Go get your own! Anywho, I'm a Psych major and I want to work with children in helping them cope with diabetes and other chronic diseases. I NEED a job! Well....doesn't everyone? Stupid economy. My parents are building a house. I'll try to post some pictures of it later. I still think about Matt all the time. But we talked a couple of days ago and he told me to just live life. So that's what I'm going to do. He's soo awesome. He's actually the reason why I listen to such awesome music. So "Thank you Matthew." Ashley is pretty much my best friend. We've gotten real close in the past couple of months. Now don't get me wrong, I still love Teena and Rachel, its just that we don't hang out that much anymore. Man, I need to get us all together sometime. OOOhhh, I play trumpet. It's pretty much the best instrument ever. Be jealous.....be very jealous. :D I really need to blog more. I really like doing it, its just finding the time to do it. So I guess until next time.

Realization

Hello there fellow readers,

I have finally done it. I have come to the realization that I need help. So I am now seeing a Counselor. Though she is a grief counselor, we talked about some other things. It was quite enlightening. You know how in the movies it's like your under a microscope the whole time? Well, it was actually like talking to a good friend. Which was nice. I found out that I should stop trying to please everyone. To start trying to worry about me. Though it is good that I do that most of the time, which means that I put myself in the other persons shoes, She said that I should stop doing it. I do agree with her, because it is very hard to and sometimes it can become burdensome at times. But I don't like it when people are made at/with me. Now I know that some people might not like for whatever reason, but I just try to be nice to everyone. So anywho, we also talked about relationships. She asked me if I was in a relationship and I told her, "No. I have never really had boyfriend." I told her that I have wished for one, but then I thought and told her that I had gotten a piece of paper that had said, "God will send the man He has for you." So everytime I think "Man! Why can't I have what my friends and almost everyone else has?!" I think of that little piece of paper, which I still have, I'm like, "Ok God, I guess he has just lost the directions and is to stubborn to ask for directions, so that's why it's taking him so long to get here." :) So yeah. I'm just going to try and be patient until he finds me, whomever that maybe. Until next time.

Self-Explanitory

So, this is pretty self-explanitory. Umm, I've had a LOT of time to think about things and I've realized that I screwed somethings up. I want to try and fix them, but I don't know how to approach it. I'm kind of new to this whole "I like you, you like me" sort of thing. I could blame it on not trying to be "girly" enough or having to many guy friends. But that would mean denial. And I'm smarter than that. I guess when I meet this guy I was like "Oh another guy friend", but I started to have feelings for him. And then it went all crazy. My parents said,"He's a little old for you" and my friends said,"Don't give in.Fight for him.". And I'm the kind of person who wants to please everyone, so I tried and it only ended in tears and torn hearts. Gosh!! I want to see him in person and tell him how I feel, but he's in Cali now doing a great service for our country, and I'm here in Florida torn.







I miss the way you sing low
So I can't hear your voice over
The radio in my car
But you knew every word they sang
You know just the right thing to say when the
Distance rips us farther and farther and farther away
I'll see you soon

If you're coming back this way again
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention

Maybe I fell too fast
Maybe I pushed you away
Now you're gone and I'm afriad
That you're never coming back this away again

I'll see you soon
If you'll come back here
I'll see you soon
Just say that you want to see me too

Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention
Come back from California
All of us here in Florida
Are starved for your attention
Are starved for your attention

You know I won't mind if you
Monopolize all my time
I won't say a thing at all
I won't say a word no
So come back from California
Come back from California
