So much yet not a lot

That is what I have been feeling lately...so much has happened but nothing really of meaning....so much to do but not enough time/motivation to do it....so much time has gone by with not a lot done. I'm just really burnt out on life, I need a real vacation but don't have time for one. One thing that has come out of this is the issue of school. I'm going to be like all of the people I disapprove of and take a break of school when I only have a semester left. In reality I believe its the best thing to do for the moment...I know, I know I only have 1 semester left buck up and finish...but I can't. I'm so over school, I'm not motivated to do anything and its not worth it to take to courses and fail them...wast of time, money and energy. Plus I don't have money to pay for it. and it was going to end up that me and my brother were going to graduate on the same day...I know thats not a really good excuse but really it is, that way my family only has one thing to worry about and not having to figure out who will go where and miss the other one. Please pray for me as I'm going through this transition and for me not feeling like such a loser.

Krystal

I got a new phone!

It's so exciting! Its a Samsung t629! I would have a photo for you but my computer is being really dumb and wont recognize my camera! Anyway it's a huge leap from my other one. This one has a camera, bluetooth capabilities, and much more! I cant wait to play with it alot and show it off...and the best part is I got it of free (plus s.h. but that was only 20 bucks!) and its a 200 dollar phone! what a steal! Hope you are as happy as I am! Have a wonderful Week!

It's My Brithday!

Yup thats right...I'm 22 Today! Its so exciting. I received some cupcakes from the Library staff today when I came in. Tonight and tomorrow with hopefully be filled with some good scrapbooking time and I'm really celebrating my Birthday on Sunday when some of my friends and I go to Acapulco's for dinner (Yummy margaritas) and then go see the nanny diaries! So Much fun to come!

P.S. The following is an e-mail that I received from Jack FM (If you don't know the station they are pretty funny, play whatever they want, and make the most random comments)

So, how's it going Krystal?

Congratulations on getting yet another year older. Yep, you're that much closer to adult diapers but look at the brightside, pretty much everybody has to be nice to you today, including JACK FM. So sit back, grab a cold one and let our JACK FM Glee Club serenade you with some birthday love.

All together now.....Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Krystal, Happy Birthday to you!!

Ok now go on, get outta here and have a great day. Oh yeah, and don't call us for bail money.

So after my way fun weekend Ive had a very busy week so I have not posted anything about hanging out with Rachel or the wedding! Well Here we go....All weekend it seemed we were always in the car going somewhere. I arrived in Washington on Friday Morning and hung out at Rachel's house in Everett until we went to the boys and girls club to make dinner. After dinner we drove into Seattle and went to Cupcake Royale, an amazing cupcake place. We got the cupcakes then drove to her parents house in Shelton to pick up her moms car (cuz its newer and has a radio/cd player) Then we were on our way to Oregon. We did arrive in OR before 12 so I was in 3 states and the whole west coast of the U.S. on Thursday! Friday the girls did hair and makeup at Jessicas house and then when to the church to finnish getting ready. The wedding was so pretty and fun. It was a little cool but it didnt rain until the very end of the reception! The cerimony was so fun, it was small and sort of interactive! The reception we fun as well! After the wedding it was off to WA agian. But before we went back home we went to the beach and ate more cupcakes! Sunday was fathers day so we hung out at Rachels House in Shelton with her family. Her dad made some burgers and it was really good. Then we went back to Everette so we could rest to get up early to take me to the airport. Over All the trip was short and we did alot of driving but It was really fun!

Fun Weekend!

Whoot Whoot Im so excited. At the moment Im at my friend Rachel's house in WA. and later tonight we are going to drive to OR for my roommate Krista's wedding! This weekend rocks. Today I will travel the whole west coast! So FUN! I will try to get pictures up on Tuesday...we will see how I feel on Monday!

Also Last night me a Venissa went to see Pirates 3 at the El Capitan Theater in hollywood! It was so much fun! Orlando is so HOTT will def have to buy it and pause it at the end! HOTT!

Weddings!

Its that time in life when everyone in your life is getting married and you are not! So I had a roommate last summer get married, this summer I have a roommate getting married (in about a week) and last night one of my current roommates got engaged! Whoot whoot for them! It was kind of weird to hear this morning cuz last night I was watching Gilmore Girls (I broke down and bought the 6th season...it was only $22, thats really good!) and its when Lane gets married and then I was scrapbooking and I was doing a love/wedding book from a wedding I went to after High School that I havent done yet...Wedding are all around so if you want to get married or engaged then hang out with me!

LOVE, ELSIE IS IN THE HOUSE!

That's right Scrappin In The Hills Received Love, Elsie at 11 o'clock this morning! I got a text from Lisa, left the library (took an early/extended lunch) and went to check it out! Its so Cute and cant wait to use all of it! It's going to go fast so hurry on over!

Whoot Whoot

I got my order of Love, Elsie in the mail today! Im so excited! Cant wait to use it! The only sad thing is that I got it befor my LSS! Man that is messed up! But who cares I HAVE LOVE ELSIE!

a little irritated!

i was going to move in to the apt that im going to live in this summer this weekend but the girl was going to be moved out but she is not and im staying at a friends house and i feel like im over staying my stay cuz im here longer then i said i would. they say its ok but i still feel it.

Elsie and Chipotle

So I was originally going to talk about chipotle but then I looked at Elsies blog and HER STUFF IS UP TO ORDER ON 2 PEAS! SO EXCITED, BOUGHT MORE THEN I SHOULD CUZ WE ARE ALSO GETTING IT IN THE STORE ANY DAY NOW BUT I WANT IT NOW! DONT CARE IF I HAVE MULTIPLES OR NOT....PLUS MY MOM WANTS SOME SO I CAN SHARE...MAYBE! I ALSO WAS GOING TO BUY GILMORE GILRS 6TH SEASON BUT THAT'S NOW NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER!

ok now that I have my excitement out (well not all of it cuz it made my day!) I will now tell you about Chipotle....have you ever eaten there? its A-Mazing I had it for lunch today and just loved the story on the cup about being a chain so I wrote it down to share:

Chipotle, Unchained
According to various media reports, Chipotle is now a "chain" (we thought we were just a burrito joint) It simply means we have a lot of restaurants. But we're aware of the negative connotation of that word (we won't say it) and we intend on disproving it by acting un-chain-like. Because big can be good.
Take food with integrity, for example. That' our ongoing commitment to find the very best raw ingredients form the very best sources. Because of our size, we can influence for the better how livestock is raised. in fact we are now the largest restaurant seller of naturally raised beef, chicken, and pork-animals that are raised humanely, eat an all veggie diet free of animal byproducts, and are never given antibiotics or added growth hormones.
We also buy organic pinto and black beans. not enough, yet, to offer you only organic beans. but because we buy so many, we're helping to increase supply
all that means better food for you . so size does matter, Chain Shmane.

Anything for Love Elsie!

Elsie is doing a self portrait contest for some new Love Elsie stuff and so Here it is....Me being toally crazy! Hope I win! but more then likely not...just fun to participate!

Its a long one!

I finally got some Pics to show for the last few events...Easter, Bus tour, and NSD, Lets begin:
Easter=so much fun. I spent it with the Luevanos at their family picnic and we had way to much fun!





Now about the Bus Tour: our store was one in many who participated in Tour de Crop, a Tour to Shop. The ladies started at our store and went to two other stores then came back to us! They got to do Make-n-takes and to see what other stores had to offer.





National Scrapbooking Day! Whoot Whoot! We had Renae Lindgren from Creative Imaginations come and do a make-n-take with her new cherry line, Amy and Mona came with her. And I actually got to do something (ok just one thing but it was something)! Whoot Whoot!

Summer of 3rds

For the movies that is! Spiderman 3 came out today, Shrek the 3rd is coming out May 18, PIRATES is May 25. Then there is a little break for Oceans Thirteen on June 8th then on August 3rd Bourne Ultimatum is coming out....And I think all of them will be great! Most movies that have sequels are stupid but the only one that I think may be questionable is Oceans thirteen. Movies are so much fun!

Wow

This weekend was great and has spilled over into to the week! Very exciting....lets start from the beginning!
Thursday...Greys was A-Mazing! They are setting it up so well for Addison to leave and have her own show but George cant go! I will not allow it! October road was also good and I'm sad that it was the season finale, but I think it will be coming back for another season so that is good.

Friday....work was ok then I went shopping for clothes for that night and I had to get a pink shirt for Scrappin on Saturday cuz I didn't own one. I went to old navy and was a good girl only bought a pink shirt (way cute, may even were it for reals) Whoot whoot for clubbing! It was so much fun! It was a friends Birthday so we went to Universal Studios City walk and went to a Salsa Club (which had a VIP section and was high class) and then to another less classy club that was playing fun 70's-now Videos! I didn't dance to much at the salsa club but the other one was way fun and would like to go back!

Saturday....I thought I would be tired and not ready for work but I was so hipper! It was the Tour de Crop and so we had like a bazillion people at the store shopping, doing make'n takes, and just having fun. I made the mistake of telling my fellow employees that I went to a salsa club and they wanted to see me dance so I danced a little in the store! It was also mucho funness!

Sunday....I went to see RENT! Whoot Whoot for RENT! So much fun! I went with a friend who went to Hope but then transferred to another school. Since I have seen the movie so many times it was kinda weird to see the play...its way more graphic! wow! but it was good and I had an A-Mazing time!

Monday....first a good thing and also a sad thing....RACHEL IS COMING BACK! Rachel was my roommate Freshman year and then moved back home but she is coming back! the sad part is the reason she is coming back is because her school is closing. but I don't care we are going to be roommates again! that is so exciting! whoot whoot.
Another thing that happened last night was at work....The door has been a little hard locking lately and last night I almost had a heart attack because the door wasn't locking and I thought I set off the alarm...but I did not. Hopefully they will call a locksmith today and I will not have to deal with the door yet again tonight!

Today....RED VELVET ART KITS ARE AVAILABLE! whoot Whoot! so excited for them to reach my house!

Happy Thrusday!

I love the smell of crisp morning's! I haven't been sleeping well so I didn't do my Starbucks Thursdays but I did get up early enough to enjoy the morning air a little bit. This weekend is going to be so much fun! I get to hang out with people! I know what a concept! Tonight is Grey's Whoot whoot! and October Road...I may be going over to Megans but not sure, Either way I will watch them. On Friday Im haning out at Universial City Walk, its a friends Birthday and I dont know what exactly we are doing but it will be lots of fun! Saturday will be one CRAZY day but hopefully it will be fun. The scrapbooking store that I work at is doing this bus tour where it starts at our store and goes to two other stores then back to ours. (the other two stores are doing the same thing) So It will be crazy buzy even having everyone working! Then on Sunday...my favorite part of the weekend...IM GOING TO SEE RENT! Whoot Whoot Its playing at the OC Preforming Arts Center and I will be hanging out with a girl who I used to go to school with! This weekend will be crazy fun! Hope I can sleep and not be to tired!

Junie B. Jones Makes me Smile!

She is Just A-Mazing! In my Childrens Lit class we are on the contemporaty fictions portion and I picked Junie B. If you have not read any of her books (There are alot and she begins in Kindergarden!) Then you are really missing something! She is a hoot! Here is a little tid bit:

"I stopped writing and raised my hand. Mr. Scary was not looking at me. When teachers don't look, you have to stand up and shout. Or else how are they supposed to notice you? I Stuood up and shouted. MR.S! MR. S! HOW LONG UNTIL WE HAVE SHOW-AND-TELL, DO YOU THINK? Mr. Scary wrinkled his eyebrows at me. I am no supposed to call him Mr. S, I believe. Please sit down, Junie B. he said Its still journal time. and Journal time is quiet time. I nodded, Yeah, I know. only I's actually like to wrap things up and get started with Show-and-Tell now. Mr. Scary sucked in his cheeks. Sit down, he said again. We will have Show-and-Tell shortly. I looked at the clock. How many minutes is shortly? I asked. Is it one minute or eight minutes or eleven minutes? On account of if its only one minute, I can wait, probabley. But eleven minutes would be out the the question."

Next time you are in a bookstore or in the book section of a store check out Junie B. She will make your day bright!

SNOW!

Ha Ha yeah right!

Fact of the Day: snowflakes
Ice crystals from clouds fall as snow. Moisture freezes on the crystals, which combine to make snowflakes. Large snowflakes, formed when the temperature is above freezing, fall as wet snow. Dry, powdery snow falls in extremely cold weather but its snowflakes do not stick together well. Each snowflake is a collection of ice crystals, which are usually hexagonal but may also be needle-shaped or columnar. No two crystals are identical; their shape depends on where they form in the cloud and the temperature changes each flake experiences as it is forming. The formation of the crystals is a complex process leading to an almost infinite number of possible variations. In theory, it is possible for two snowflakes to be precisely the same, but the probability of complex water molecules being distributed in the same configuration in two different snowflakes is next to zero.

Man I wish there was snowflakes! The weather has been so crazy the past few days...its been so hot...record highs! It needs to stop its messing with my sleep...cant sleep during the night and to hot to do anything so Im sleepy!

Dr. Glenn Cadzow

Move over Elsie I have a new Hero....Ok well He is the Hero for the day! He is my Science Teacher this semester (and Last semester and all Science classes) And He is just a Hoot. I don't do good in Science but I like going to class just to see what he says. Like today he was talking about getting our grades online and he said "The name is Cadzow not Superman. The only thing that bothers me on the Periodic table is element 36 (I think that's the number-klh).......that's Kryptonite!"Our topic today was about Pressures and when we were talking about deep sea pressure he explained that he was sad that the Monterey Bay Aquarium got rid of the deep sea exhibit and that he didn't sleep for two days! That's not the half of it. He is always complaining that he doesn't have enough board space, calls everything "beasts" and hates the periodic table that we have in the classroom because it snaps up so he calls it the anti-christ! Man He is A-Mazing He makes me Laugh almost every class!

Koltten!

My Little Cousin Koltten! isnt he just the cutest! I love him and I havent even met him! Anyway my mom just sent me some pics so now Im giving one for you to enjoy as well!

This Weekend

Man I had so much planned this weekend and you know how much of it I did.....Nothing! Ok well not nothing Work was on the List and I did some of that but not all of it. Friday I worked at the Library but not Scrappin so I was going to scrabooking but that didnt happen. Lately I have wanted to Scrapbook and have lots of ideas but when I get out my stuff there is nothing there to work with...and I cant buy any of the new stuff that we are getting at the store cuz Im on Freeze and cant buy anything till Elsie's Stuff comes in April! that is so long. Ok well the other day I did buy a few things cuz I spent my Starbucks money. In stead of scrappin I watched Moulan Rouge (sp? I can never get it right) then Krista and Derek did there wedding invites and I got mine! IM so EXCITED! Cant wait until June!
Then on Saturday I worked all day....Crazy day! We have so many new boxes of stuff to open and put out and no where to put it! Plus there was a class and it was super buzy...which made it go by fast but it was crazy! When I got home Krista and Derek were just starting the Departed so I sat down and watched it with them...I have seen it before and Its A-Mazing! Im glad it won all of those awards at the Oscars the other night!
Sunday.....what can I say about Sunday...I almost didnt go to church but I havent been in a church going mood lately so I forced myself to go...what else was I going to do...sleep...I needed to just go. My plans were then to Clean out my car (which is really durty cuz it has not been full unpacked from when I came back from being at home for Christmas!), work at the Library for a few hours (to get it over with), and Clean round my desk (really dirty as well!).....but what I really did was watch die hard, take a long nap, and then go to dinner with Krista at Accapoco! Dinner was great....we had some good roommate time! only wish Susie was there as well but she was still at home.
Now its Monday and I for sure have the case of the Mondays and almost didnt come to work this morning but I have no other time to make up the hours! So here I am taking a little break to tell you all about my weekend...hope your weekend and Monday is better then mine! Have a good week!

Latley I have been likeing the fact of the day....most of the time they are just dumb.
Fact of the Day: alcoholic spirits, cordials, liquors, liqueursA liquor is a drink produced by fermentation or distillation of a mash of various ingredients, including grains or other plants. A spirit is a kind of liquor, but also denotes an alcoholic solution of an essence or extract, and a cordial is an aromatized and sweetened spirit used as a beverage. A liqueur is a strong spirit-based drink sweetened and flavored with aromatic substances. The main differences lie in the way the various flavors are obtained. Flavors are usually added to liqueurs by infusion, and are often enhanced by sweetening; essential oils and extracts are used to flavor many of today's liqueurs. Liqueurs are also known as cordials in the United Kingdom and Australia.

March already!

A photograph can capture or record a moment; it can show beauty and happiness or suffering and cruelty. Photography is complex and challenging and is a relatively new technology. The word, derived from the Greek photos "light" and graphein "to draw, write," was first used by the scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839. As technological advances have improved photographic equipment, materials, and techniques, the scope of photography has expanded enormously. With high-speed photography, certain aspects of motion have been made visible, hidden wonders of nature have been revealed, and planets can be observed in new ways. One of the most famous photographs ever taken appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic and featured a 12-year-old Afghan girl with green eyes. The photograph was taken by photojournalist Steve McCurry and captivated the world in a similar way to the portrait of the Mona Lisa and the Iwo Jima flag-raising photograph of World War II.

Whoot Whoot!

Fact of the Day: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984 and debuted as a comic book. This inspired a television cartoon show, which catapulted the characters into a nationwide merchandising craze. The four anthropomorphic turtles - Donatello (purple bandana), Leonardo (blue bandana), Michelangelo (orange bandana), and Raphael (red bandana), each named for their master's (Master Splinter) favorite Renaissance artists - avoided overt violence and any semblance of real conflict.


I loved these guys as a child! and some of the girls in my childrens lit class like them now and everyhting is all about them!

Yawning

Fact of the Day: Yawning
Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. No one knows for sure why we yawn, but there are some interesting theories. One states that yawning is physiological: we yawn to draw in more oxygen or remove a build-up of carbon dioxide. Another theory states that we yawn because we are bored, fatigued, or drowsy, while a third suggests that yawning is evolutionary; according to this theory, our ancestors used yawning to intimidate others by showing their teeth, or to signal a change in activity. The use of yawning as a form of communication would also explain why some people find yawning contagious; 55% of people will yawn within five minutes of seeing someone else yawn. Reading about yawning usually makes people yawn as well. The average yawn lasts about six seconds. All animals appear to yawn, too!

Its true No one knows why we yawn and I want to Know! and its also true that I could not not yawn while reading this! Hope you faught the temptation!

Nicky, Hanna, and I went to Disneyland today for Nicky's "birthday" (its really tomorrow!) And it was a blast. Steve was working the first time we tryed space, but we didnt get to ride it cuz it broke down. We did end up riding it before we left, which was A-Mazing with the red hot chilly peper song. We also whatched the parade of dreams and I took lots of good photos to scrapbook! It never fails that I get at least one Blister and a sun burn but this time I didnt get the sun burn!

When we came back Nicky droped me off at Starbucks and Both Dereks were working D Messed with me about eating meat and then d made fun of me not getting water in my chi! Man I miss those guys I will really have to go back there more often!

School! and Life

I dont want it to start! I like being on break and just working and sleeping and not haveing homework...Man I hate homework. But I have to go to school.

Tonight we are having our employee crop but Im the only one that is for sure going to be there, alot of maybes! Its ok with me I get to listen to the music I want and get to have the store all to myself to buy anything I need! but then it would be nice to have someone to ask for advice.

I got more pictures on disc today and my computer is being very slow on uploading them!

So I was thinking I would write a little bit cuz I never do. Im always on checking out Elsie blog to see what she has new and got me thinking...what if someone is waiting to see if I have written...ok that is really a long shot cuz who whats to read what I have to say but IT did make me want to write.

Since my last post there have been two holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, Ive changed majors and went home and come back, and got a Promotion at work! That is alot of happenings.

For Thanksgiving I was going to hang out with Venissa but she ended up going to her grandmothers and so I went over to Megs grandmas just like I did last year. It was good I had to much to eat but it was good.

At the end of last semester the Music Department told me that I shouldnt be a Music Major anymore so I stressed out alot and everything was up in the air. Now we have figured it out and I have changed my major to Liberal Arts and will be graduating in Dec. 2007! I cant wait and cant belive it at the same time!

I asked off from work for two weeks so that I could go home for Christmas and New Years. The grandparents on my moms side and one of her sisters were also there for Christmas! It was a blast I got lots of money and gift cards which are always good! My brother is "mad" at me becuase I got him addicted to three things: Greys Anatomy (we watched Both seasons), Suduko (he baught a book), and Veronica Mars (we also watched both seasons).

Before I left to go home I had an interview at the library for another position and while I was home I got the call to tell me that I got the new position. I did officially start when I got back on Jan. 8th but I was also scheduled for Nicole so Im doing both jobs at the time being and will only doing my new job when School starts again in two weeks! I dont want school to start but It has to. :(

Well I guess I better go because Im almost off and Nicole and I am going to Disneyland!
