After a long month and a half without cable tv or internet, I am happy to announce that it has arrived today around 7 pm.  YAY!

Also, the living room has had a rebirth - newly painted walls! :)

So, it was a pretty interesting weekend...pretty much thanks to the wonderful Meagan Petri and family. 

• Went out to Annapolis and saw Hilary Duff and her boyfriend from Good Charlotte..COOOOOOL!  LoL.
• Witnessed a drunk 16 y/o chat it up with a 26 y/o...fun stuff
• "What a BITCH!!!"  (2 mins and the stare of death later...) "Did somebody just call me a bitch???"  Ugh....No?  LOL
• I was SOOOOOOOO close to getting cable/internet too on Saturday - damn shed.  Wednesday, for sure, I will be connected to the world again.
• Off tomorrow for the 4th - Yay for fireworks tomorrow night...I hope it isn't rained out.
  
• Might see my cousin on the 7th and/or the 1th
  
• Going home the following week (Mom's birthday is the 14th, and cousins will be in town :-)  )
• I can't believe how fast the summer is going...there are so many things I was hoping to do...looks like a lack of $$$ and a few other reasons, won't allow me to do all of them.
• I have a clean house - and it will be painted soon - YAY!
• I've started looking at beds for the school year - yay, super-comfy!
• My manicure is starting to chip :-( 
• I made lasagna for the potluck tonight - it was yummy.
• Coffee/cream cheese brownies are also very yummy.
• I think thats all for now.

Thanks for a good time ladies!!!   XOX

This really sucks...

    And I was hoping for such a great summer  :(

So...its been a while.

I've been without intenet now for about two weeks.  It sucks.  Comcast people came, but said we were missing something.  Why they didn't have everything they would need to install cable/internet is beyond me.  But w/e.

I am super broke right now.  I just payed rent ($360) which i had to deplete from my savings account.  I better get  a check at the end of this week for the internship work I'm doing.  I mean, I should be getting like $360 from them.  I still haven't found a job for the weekends.  I'll get on that some more probably today.

My internship seems to be pretty decent.  I'm actually doing some design work, so thats good.

I went home to help my sister at a wedding, doing makeup.  I got my eyebrows done and a pedicure in return : )

I may sound like a loser when I say this, but I really miss Mark.  He was in Cali for 10 days, and he came back Friday.  I saw him for like 18 hours and then I had to head home.  I really wanted to do something fun today together, like go to the zoo or something, but he's still asleep and said he had a lot of stuff to do.  So, I guess thats not happening.  : (  I know he hasn't had much sleep (jet lag, etc.) and hasn't been feeling well, but it really sucks.  Tomorrow and Wednesday I work lik 9-6, and he starts at Pussers Wednesday for the rest of the week.  So, the chances of us seeing each other and actually getting to do something are slim.  : (

Well,  I'm signing for  now...
Bye

Hi,

  Two down, two to go.
  I could use a break...
  LOST was good last night.
   Back to work...
                               Bye.

Hi

Its been a while since I've written in this thing.

I've been the worst procrastinator today...I stalled from doing my work for like 7 hours...now I'm exhausted and still have a project to do...Crap

I have a headache...I think its from being stressed at the moment, as I continue to stall.

I tried coke blak - the coffee flavored coke - its not back...it works.  Give it a try.

I changed my LJ appearance...just to waste time

Online bowling games are addicting.  Grrr...

My mom and sister(s) are going to come down here on Sunday - super excited.  Wohoo

Fun weekend - Yummy lunch with Mark then Meg time on Fri, getting acquainted with new roomies on Sat, today sucked...but ya know - good times

I'm gonna go to sleep and wake up butt crack early to do my other drawing...Yea, that what I'll do.  Damnit - shoulda taken the drawing class as a Freshman...Senoir-itis is kicking in a little early.

Poop.

Good night, and good luck

Random...I donno, don't ask

Hellooo!

It's pretty late for me to be up, even though its a weekend and all...but I felt like writing a quick update.  Here it goes:

Tonight, Mark was working and he suggested that I come down to see him.  Originally Lauren and I kinda talked about going, but she wasn't feeling too good, so she went home for the night.  (Probably a good idea to not go to a smokey bar when your not feeling good and your throat hurts)  So, I began trying to find someone who wanted to go down - this proved to be a bit of a challenge.  After a few failed attempts, I decided to give Pat a call.  I figured he may be up for a visit down to Pussers, I mean, after all, he loves Annapolis.  Ever since high school, when my ex yelled at me for making friends with his friends, I've always felt weird about hanging out with a boyfiend's friend without him.   And although the thought still lingers in my head, I feel as if I can say, that Mark's friends have become my friends, too and I think tonight could prove that.  Pat met up with me around 8:30ish and  we conversed about a variety of meaningful topics for a good four hours.  I really enjoy hanging out with Pat because, (and I quote) Pat has "an opinion about everything" so there is always something to talk about.  An although our opinions may differ on various topics, I respect his opinions and I'm fairly certain that it is reciprocated.  I appreciate the opportunity to converse with someone who has an openmind to the world.  I know that in the little time I've know Pat, in the 6 months without him  here, I will miss his company, and for Mark and his other closest friends, I know the same hold true.

After tonight's conversation and listening to the Wicked Sountrack on the way home, I was kinda of thinking about what is important in life.  And really, I couldn't feel more blessed.  I just want to say thank you to all the people who help shape me into the person I am today, and the people who continue to leave an imprint in my life.  Sometimes life takes a course that you may have not expected, where you face tragedy, heartbreak and pain, but my grandma used to say, "everything happens for a reason" and I have to believe that its true.  I believe that there is a good that comes from everything, and that if you try to find that good in whatever you may face, I believe you will have become a better individual.

Maybe this doesn't all make sense...I'm kinda having a hard time putting words to everything, but I'll leave with some lyrics from Wicked:

So things have been kinda busy...You know, work class, meeting, class, work, class, etc... But luckily I can have Fridays off. I missed that last semester - I know, I've spoiled. I'm goin home this weekend. I hope Mark comes with, but I'm not holdin my breath. My Dad and my sisters have been involved in a play, so I'm goin to see that Sat. night, and Fri. I have a dentist appointment.

Theres probably more I could write about, but I'm done for now. Off to bed :)

PS - Most Random update ever! Oh yea, and I'm poor. :-/

Well, I supposed its time for another update.  I've been really back with this lately.  But heres a quick run down:

• A lot of my stess has been resolved.  I'm feeling much better about things since last week.  I'm a really lucky girl.
• My rash has still been bothering me tho...My doc says to lotion it, but I don't think thats the solution.  We'll see.
• I got the last of my Chanukah presents about a week ago when Mark got me the TV I wanted for my room.  I like it!  Now I can lay in bed and watch tv :)
• I was home this past Friday and then went to West Chester on Sat-Sun to see my Rachel.  It was nice to just hang out with my sisters and parent (and to do launrdy for free - I know, I'm a mooch).  I had fun with Rach too!  I finally got to see her appt. and meet some of her friends I hadn't met yet.  It was interesting...lol.
• I baught two really cute bowls at Eckerd - they have faces!  I also got a couple shirts from GAP which were on sale and also a cheap pair of yoga pants. Coool!
• I don't wanna work tomorrow.  I hope it will go by fast - I'm sure I'll have a lot of last minute things to do for the breakfast meeting on Wednesday at "o dark thirty" as my boss calls it.
• I watched the Bachelor tonight with Tara.  Some girls are retarted.  (And not just the ones on the show.)
• A sweater and a pair of pants of mine are missing...hmm...
• Now I'm just rambling.
• It sucks that Christmas/Chanukah, Mark's Birthday and Valentines Day are all so close together...That kid is hard to find gifts for...(that is without destroying my bank account! haha)
• I cleaned up my room a bit today...my desk is still a mess.
• I'm tired. Time to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.  My life is so exciting, huh?  Getting ready for bed before 11:30...yea...

Congrats if you got through all the rambling.  Peace out...and in the words of some kid...
"Good night and sleep tight and don't let the bed monsters wake you up!" ;-)

So, you may have heard: There was a mining explosion in WV on Monday and 13 miners were trapped underground for about 40 hours in an environment reported to have high concentrations of carbon monoxide. One person had been found and reported dead, but hope had still remained for the other 12 lives. Last night the news was filled with footage from the search and rescue of the 12 miners. Late last night, new was reported that all 12 miners had been found and alive. Then 3 hours later, everyone found out that the 12 were in fact dead. Only one of the 13 survived.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/01/04/mine.explosion.wed/index.html

Can you imagine? Pray and hoping that you loved one is safe and rejoicing when you hear the news of their survival. Then, three hours later find out that it had been a lie and your loved one is actually dead along with 11 others. Doesn't that just sound like a cruel joke? I don't know what I would have done in the situation. But I can def. see reason for people to become angry and violent as some had. It's almost better to have never thought there was hope.

Anyway, my thoughts and prayers go out to those families.
