Curses!!

So, the alarm buzzes at 7 'clock this morning, but I snooze about 3 times before I actually get up at about 7:20. To the shower I go, I do my thing get out, towel off and begin the getting ready process. Now mind you, I HATE mornings, I would so rather sleep until noon everyday that I can. As I'm gettting ready Jon comes back home from work to rise Susie out of a dead sleep. "Get up we have to go fix the buggy he yells!" Oh boy, here we go. So now Susie is going to have to get in the bathroom to get ready too, so I take 'all' my stuff into the bedroom to finish while she still lays in bed. (I HATE having one bathroom!) Shortly after she does get up as Jon is honking the horn out in the driveway. About 2 minutes later the door slams and Susie is gone. Back to the bathroom with 'all' my stuff. I finish getting ready, throw some coffee in the machine and brew me a fresh cup to go, hop in the car and I'm off. But now it's about 8:10 and class starts at 9-sharp. I HATE driving during this time of the day, you have 'everyone' on their way to work and there are about 3 school crossings where you can only go 20mph, don't go a step faster or the motorcycle cops will be at your side in a split second. Stop and go, stop and go traffic for about the next 10 minutes...arg! Then I go to change lanes and this lady totally wants to get in the same lane as me at the same time! So I get back over and she gives me 'the look' like it's my fault. Listen lady....so I point in front of her cause now she's about to hit the car inf ront of her....ha, maybe SHE needs to watch the road. Take that! So finall I get through the 20mph zones and I get behing the SCAT bus. Oh here we go, I try everything I can to get in the other lane but the cars in the 'fast lane' are going the same speed as the bus. Don't you HATE that?? Finally the SCAT bus comes to a screaching hault and I'm finally able to jump to the other lane. Finally about 20 minutes later I arrive on campus. I circled the parking lot to find the spot closest to the door as we all do, and not to my suprise there isn't one, sure enough I have to park forever away. Once in the buliding I venture up the flight of stairs when I could have taken the elevator, but the power goes out so often here in FL who wants to get stuck in one of those?? I'll setttle for the stairs. I round the bend to find the classroom door labeled photography all locked down and dark, and a girl sitting on the floor to the right of me. Hmm....I say and the first thing you wonder is....do we have class today?? I've had this teacher before and he is never late. So we wait and we wait as more and more students show up we wait somemore....Now we're all thinking what the rule of thumb is when a teacher doesn't show up...do we wait 10...15...20 minutes. I thought 15. We wait some longer.....Finally after 15 minutes the first student leaves....then 5 minutes later 2 more leave....then finally at 9:30 this girl and I leave....still wondering where our teacher is.....I walk the 3 miles back to my car and head back home only to find an e-mail in my box saying that class is canceled today the teacher is sick!
Are you kidding, I just spend 45 minutes driving here for nothing now I have to drive 45 minutes back.....oh heeeeeell no.
I went back to bed unti I had to work.
Curses to that!

first week of school

Week one is over and it's looking good. Photography is going to be a BLAST as it usually is, Mass Communications is going to be 3 hours of conversing over whatever is in the media, and graphic design basics is going to put my little creative brain to work. Our first assignment is to re-create a magazine ad. I freaked out tho when I walked into the classroom and there wasn't a single computer in the room....eep...only desks that look like they are for drawing... holy crap, I'm doomed again. Shoot! Well all is fine and dandy now because we can either draw our assignments or we can use the computer to do our work for us. All I was thinking is 'jackpot'. There is no way that I would be able to draw for another semester, lord knows that I'm not an artist...hints the self portraits I had to draw and paint....TWICE!!!!

So, that's that. Looks like it will be a great semester, which is good cause I'm finally getting into the fun stuff. :)

I like my new roomie

Pretty boring hurricane day. No school, no work and I didn't do a thing today. Suzie and I went to the store today and cooked dinner for our boys, but that's about it. Suzie is Jons girlfriend who's just moved into our house. I was a little unsure about it at first, but it's ok. Someone else to cook and clean, and pay the bills who can complain with that? But one bathroom for 4 people might be tough. I hope we don't all have to be somewhere at the same time, that could cause a problem. I think we'll get along tho, she seems like a pretty easy going person.
So the first day of school was canceled due to the storm so my first class this week is Friday morning. My photography class, I'd better get working on getting me a new camera soon!
Dylan started his first day of school too and had a blast. He is growing up sooooo fast. :(

anyone out there???

Hey people, I write, you comment....isn't that they way this works??? 'Everyone' wanted me to post a new blog yet has anyone read them??

did someone say BaBy?

Who's having a baby???
Well my sister-in-law is expecting....
A girl at work is due in a few weeks.....
Some poeple 'look' like their prego but really not...I don't think anyway....
Well you guessed wrong, I'm not with baby, no bun in the oven for me.
So when is a good time to have children??
If it were up to my mom and James' granny, we'd already have them.
My mom keeps saying...'ya know, you should think about kids soon'.
The pressure!! AHHHH!!! :)
With that said...

So I am finally getting over a huge sun burn. I say it like I've had it forever, but when you have a sun burn it seems like forever, especially when you can't sleep and people at work think it's cool to tap, hit, caress, or even just look at my poor burning shoulders...make them poor things hurt...it is now at the itching stage in which I can't wait for that to be OVER!!!!

The news is finally out, Brett is not coming to the Tampa Bay area, which would have been cool. It's just going to be so weird to see him with another team, like he's cheating on them or something, don't ask, but the Pack just isn't going to be the same without him that's for sure. Nicole's right.....'how could he?'

I really wish is was 2010 so I could be up in Wisconsin for homecoming having the time of my life with my friends. I can not wait! I just hope it's not a disappointment when it actually does come about. James and I are going to drive and he hopes by then we'll have an RV to either drive us there to for us to pull behind, if not we'll have to settle for his grandparents for the time being.

Some friends and I 'were' going to walk in the 3 day breast cancer walk up in Tampa and I was very excited about it and couldn't wait for it to come. But it costs $90.00 to register and you have to raise $2,200 before you can even walk, and if you don't raise that amount of money by the time the walk is, you don't get to walk. Well I really thought about giving it a try, until I got to the $90 fee in which I so cannot afford at this time. Then I was thinking how am I going to get 2 thousand dollars raised, with the economy the way it is people don't have the extra money to give out, and I totally understand that, so we're sad to say we 'gave up'. I hate those words because I really don't like giving up without even trying first, but there is always next year. Maybe folks will be more established and can fork out a few Lincolns here and there. :) Best of luck to the people who are strong enough to pull through for this great cause.

School starts on the 18th. I don't think I'll ever be done. I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but then it got dark again. I'm taking 3 classes this time; graphic design basics, mass communications, and photography. Now fortunatly for me I have to buy a new 'good' camera to use for class. Darn I know. I'm sure James is really dissapointed too. He's been wanting to get one for some time now and this is our excuse, for I think is a GREAT one! Don't be jealous Nicole, you'll soon have one someday too, tell Mike that's what you want for x-mas, so he can start saving his pennies now. :)

Well I hope I've updated you all for the time being, I must go check me meatloaf that's bubbling over in the stove. :)
