Day Two: Nine Things about ME!

1. I love mac and cheese, with ketchup.  And my SiL once gave me a giant box of mac and cheese for Christmas.  That was glorious, remember Seeeester?

2. I drive (on occasion) a white car that is named Violet.

3. Both of my dogs are named after people from my alma mater.  Tribe Pride!

4. I'm equally excited and terrified to have kids.  Six months ago I was more on the terrified side, but I feel the balance slowly (SLOWLY!) tipping.

5. I love my family.  And my friends.  And I am so thankful that God is both family and friend to me.

6. I wish the weather were always amenable to wearing shorts and long-sleeved t-shirts (or W&M hoodies).  Reason #352 we should move to Southern Cali some day... um, hello Mr. Military Placement Man?

7. I still carry the backpack I received before high school.  I keep it because it's great and big and still kicking, but also because it was the last thing my grandmother gave me before she passed away.

8. My mind wanders when I read for school so much that I almost always have to re-read.  But when I read a book for pleasure, I can become so engrossed I will stay up until 3:30 am just to know a little bit more.  I sometimes wish I could read all day (in my living room, at a coffee shop, on a park bench) instead of doing "real" things.

9. I can't wait to see Hubster tonight.  :)  This crazy man I've known for 8 years, loved for over 7, been married to for 2.  But you all probably knew #9.

Happy Thursday!

Oh, and we are heading to NC tomorrow.  CAN'T WAIT.  See #5.  :)

Day One: Ten Things to Say

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now (most are anonymous).

1.    When I’m this frustrated about what you HAVEN’T said, maybe we’re not meant to stay friends.  I've felt used for a long time and I want out.  

2.    I keep telling myself that I will be happy when this is all over because I’ve learned so much.  But you may drive me loooong crazy before then, so I’ll probably never know.

3.    You’re a rockstar!  Um, and I love your dog.  I’m ridiculously glad we’re friends. 

4.    I’m sorry I was so short and upset on the phone with you today.  I was late to class and now will miss work tomorrow.  It’s not your fault but at least say “I’m sorry.”  Really.

5.  I think you should live here for always!

6.  Holy cow Batman!  Babies!  Aaaah!  We are NOT old enough for this.  I'm terrified and excited and anxious and it's not even happening to me (yet).  

7.  To 7 others:  Mendoza?  New Year's 2012?  Just say YES!

8.  You aren't perfect, but neither am I.  You inspire me and push me and make me think in ways that I would NEVER do without you.  God sure knows what he's doing.

9.   Will you make meatloaf this weekend?  I love your meatloaf.

10.  Life’s short.  Be nice (to everyone).  Or if you can’t, get that person out of your life.  

Actually, eleven...

11.  I FREAKIN' LOVE YOU!  All of you.  And all of us.  And really, anything else I would say to you, you already know.  :)

Happy Wednesday!

A little kick-start

So, C-diddy did this and I'm joining the band-wagon for kick-starting some blog posts

Are you in a blogging slump? Here is a fun blogging activity to help you hit "publish post" again!

Over the next 10 days, blog about the items on this list:

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession

Chances are I will write these while in class tonight.  With my fave prof.  Really, one day I will get over her.  

Day One will be posted later today.  :)

You Know What?

This thesis (I'm just calling my culminating experience a "thesis" now because, well, it IS.  But also, who the heck knows what a CE is??) may kill me.

These classes - or more honestly these professors - may drive me batty.

Juggling 2 pups, Hubster's ridiculous schedule, reading, laundry and two (which is two-to-many) part-time jobs may do me in.

But by GOSH I'm good with Excel.  Really.  So, if this whole public health/wife/mother to 4-leggeds/being sane and normal doesn't work out, I can always make graphs and charts for the rest of my life.  Yes?  Yes??????????



Will post more, coherent thoughts later...I've got a few things I'd love to share!  Sooooo probably during my class this evening I will write.  Ha!
