So the dumb fuck website Loudtwitter got things mixed up and apparently started posting someone else's twitter on my blog.
Well apparently now people on here think I'm a stalker as they so generously posted with "Dear Motherfucker" and referring to me as a "stalker" which was never my intention. I don't even know the girl. She just happens to have the same name I do and loudtwitter doesn't know how to run it's own program.
I'm kinda on edge. I'm changing my access to neighborhood only for a while.
Have a great day everyone.
I have been here since Sunday and so far things have been ok. I have spent most of the time with my maternal grandparents (Nonnie and Dakki) but went to see my paternal grandmother (Mommaw) on Monday. We have done some shopping and other than that...Nothing. I've been catching up on my pleasure reading which has been nice.
So far I have read Dream When You're Feeling Blue
It wasn't horrible but not really my style.
And then I quickly read Unatural Exposure. Definitely more my style.
Now I am struggling to get interested in the Other Boylen Girl but I really have no choice because it is the only other book I brought and I'm not going to give up just yet.
The small things are starting to get on my nerves. The racist comments about the "Mexicans" in the city and the thought that Hillary won't win because all of the news media is black and that is why Obama will win get me irritated. Mostly I just ignore it but when my grandmother mentions that a mega church is a black church I ask why it being a black church is a significant thing to bring up. Apparently it is because all of the black churches are small churches. Whatever. I'm trying to not let that stuff get under my skin.
My grandfather looks tired and acts tired. He hurt himself again mowing the lawn. A tree that has been in this yard for 50 years with the same low branch got the best of him and knocked him off of his riding lawn mower. I worry about him and wish he would stop all of this hard work and let someone else take care of it.
My aunt and uncle's house is a horrible, filthy mess and I don't know what happened to them. Cabinets have splatters on them and every window in the back of there house has been broken for about a year from their 13 year old son playing lacrosse outside. They should have been fixed a long time ago and he should have paid for them. Carpet that was once beige is now stained with black marks. When did this happen? My cousins are decent and nice (I think) but the youngest, the girl, talks constantly, interrupting people, and I feel as though no manners are being taught and that the words Sir, Ma'am, and thank you don't exist in their vocabulary. I know my aunt and uncle are concerned about them getting a good education but there is more to it than books. And the oldest, the 13yr old boy needs a hair cut so bad I want to shave it off. But, none of it is really my business so I don't really say anything except to my grandmother who knows all of it anyway.
Mom arrives tomorrow. I haven't seen her since I graduated last June.
I'm sure I will have more to write about after the rest of the trip.
Cheers. And I'm sorry I haven't been reading everyone's updates. I hope all is going ok in the hood.
I cheered for the girl in the boys club. Eight Belles ran a great race coming in second behind the favorite Big Brown.
But tragically she went down due to a fatal injury, breaking both front ankles and was euthanized on the track.
Although Big Brown was the favorite I really didn't think he would win, he was 20th on the outside and known to have foot problems but wow. He ran an amazing race and I really think we could have a Triple Crown winner.
My heart is broken over Eight Belles. It reminds me of how I felt over Barbaro, even if she wasn't as well known and favored.
Countdown to the Kentucky Derby. I love this day. So exciting. A filly is racing today, Eight Belles. Apparently a win for a filly has only happened 3 times ever. Hmm. The favorite is Big Brown. I talked Josh in to cheering for the # 3 horse named , are you ready? Golden Balls (apparently after Victoria Beckham's nickname for hubby). Haha.
I admit I'm a nerd. I'm wearing a hat to watch the race in.
Heading to Kentucky tomorrow. Going to see my grandparents for a week. On Wednesday I have an appointment to have my picture taken with Gov. Bershear. Apparently when I was 4? my picture was taken with him when he held some lesser office so my grandma wants a new one now. Whatever. Then we have the Gala Event and the Alumni concert. Not much else planned except maybe some shopping.
Sportin' a new hairdo. Kinda diggin' it.
Changed my mind on the Palm Centro after checking it out at the store. Planning some phone changes to take place after I get home. I think I'm going to update all of my cell phone stuff and dump the house phone. I'll save about 20 dollars a month. After all they say, a change will do ya good. And I'm feeling it.
Seeing an old friend tonight. Last time I saw her we were graduating high school in 2000. I'm pretty excited.
So, I will try to get online next week but if not, I'm on vacation.
Cheers to all.
We had our first CSI executive meeting today at Moe's Southwestern Grill. Not a bad place but since it is off the strip parking is horrendous.
wootwoot. The semester is virtually over. I can't believe I have been in grad school for a year.
I am desperate for a new cell phone. I currently spend my minutes and texting on the SLVR but it isn't exactly conducive to the things I want to do. I really want the Palm Centro but I am not eligible for upgrade until March. I might just buy it anyway. They have a $100 rebate on it now so the no commitment cost is $249.99 after that which is about the same price as getting out of a contract and getting a new phone with a new company etc etc etc. My birthday is coming up and so is the Uncle Bush money so...it might be possible
Recently purchased some self tanner. It is Hawaiian Tropic Island Radiance. Works Great!
Just got my practicum placement. I am at F. Middle school. I'm pretty happy because F is one of the schools I requested and a classmate was there this semester and had a great experience. It is considered to be a higher SES school because of the upper class neighborhoods. A lot of classmates want to be in the inner city schools but I wanted something closer to what I will find on Cape cod and inner city doesn't fit that description. F. does. That starts in the fall but I need to contact my site supervisor now. EEEEKKKK
I lost 2 pounds. Probably gained it all back by having Krystals for dinner.
That's all folks.
Cheers.
Loathe:
~Gas prices - nuff said
~road construction
~cold weather at the end of April
~Stupid people still parking in handicap spot
~Worrying about the APA formating of my paper and if the professor will agree with the assessments I chose
~APA format. Ugh!
~McDonalds for breakfast. I so crave their sausage biscuits but then feel guilty (and slightly sick) after eating one.
~ Heart burn. *Sigh*
~ Not being able to get 2 extra credit points because I can't attend the SMCA meeting and I don't feel like writing two more pages for this lady. Sorry but writing a paper or attending a meeting and getting something signed are not even close to comparable and I just finished 10 pages for this lady. I'm done.
Love:
~Finished my 10 page final exam today. It isn't due until Thursday.
~Puppy birthdays
~Glittery nail polish
~H2O so refreshing!
~Someone with a handicap parking tag in the new spot. Ha! Feeling vindicated for some reason. I hope that person ALWAYS parks there so all the other lazy people can't
~ Homemade ice cream!!!!
~One Tree Hill and Grey's Anatomy
~1 week vacation starts on Sunday!
Nothing real big so far. The semester will be over on Thursday. So far I have 2 A's. My last 2 classes are still unknown but I'm thinking Formal Measurement will be a B and Theories of Development Applied to Education will be an A. I know a B isn't bad but I had a 4.0 last semester and graduated Summa Cum Laude from undergrad. Even with that background I think I'm ok with my impending B. Have I finally figured out where my priorities are? I think so.
Cheers.
