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!

Man its already March...where has 2007 gone. It seems like just Yesterday I was at home having fun with my family bringing in the new year now 2007 is already in its third month! Life needs to slow down!

Fun Fact of the Day! I love Photos!
Fact of the Day: photographs
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!

The lord he thought he'd make a man.

So he made Adam cordin' to a plan.
DEM BONES GONNA RISE AGAIN!
Repeat chorus:
Thought he'd make a woman too.
The Lord didn't know just what to do.
Took a rib from Adam's side.
For to make Miss Eve, his bride.
Repeat chorus
Put 'em in a garden wide and fair.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Told 'em to eat what they found there.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Peaches, pears, plums and such.
Dem bones gonna rise again
But the apple tree you better not touch.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
One day Miss Eve was walking around
Dem bones gonna rise again.
Spied that tree all loaded down.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Serpent crawling around that trunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again
At miss Eve, his eye he wunk.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Eve, she just took a little pull.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Then she filled her fig leaf full.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Adam, he just took a little bite.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Said um'um woman that sure am nice.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
One day the Lord was walking around.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Spied them peels all over the ground.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
The Lord cried out in his mighty voice.
Dem bones gonna rise again
That shook the heavens to the joists.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Cried, Adam, Adam, Where art though?
Dem bones gonna rise again
Here I is Lord, I's comin' now.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Adam, Adam, did you eat these?
Dem bones gonna rise again
No massa Lord, I 'spect it was Eve.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Then the Lord rose up in his might wrath,
Dem bones gonna rise again
Said ya'll just beat it down the path.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Put an angel at the door.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Said ya'll don't come 'round here no more.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
Eve took the needle, Adam took the plow.
Dem bones gonna rise again
That's why we're all working now.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Repeat chorus
To this tale there ain't no more.
Dem bones gonna rise again
Eve got the Apple, and Adam got the core.
Dem bones gonna rise again

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!

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!

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!

Wednesday, January 10, 2007

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!

This weekend!

This weekend was A-Maizng but way to short. My Friend Dana came to visit from Arizona. (we went to school together and she graduated, stayed in Cali for a year then thought it would be better to go back to AZ) We had so much fun. She arrived on Thursday night and we went to Starbucks and Taco Bell. Sara came as well and it seemed like old times, which I have missed.
Friday I still had class and a stupid thing to sing at but then it was off to Disneyland! Which since it was a holiday weekend (veterens day...I didnt have school out :( but Im not bitter) and there was some filming for the disney christmas special and I just found out that it was the first day that dland was dressed up for the Christmas season It was really buzy, dland was actually not selling tickets and later in the night they werent even letting APs in. (we know this cuz Sara was going to join up with us) Since it was so buzy we didnt get all of the rides in becuase the lines were way to long and we were getting hungry. We ate at Olive Garden, did Starbucks, and went to see Saw III. Crazy movie but really good.
Saturday we were going to "do brunch" with Eddie but It ended up Eddie eating food and me and Dana dringking lemonaid at the food court in the mall and then walking around. That was very interesting but any time with Eddie is interesting. Then we went to one of Dana's friends Rachels baby shower. It was fun and we ate but not alot cuz it didnt look that apitizing. We didnt stay long because we were off to Disneyland again. It was sitll buzy but much better. After Dland we when to Knotts because it was sadies and we thought it would be fun....it was sort of fun but I could have done without it.
Today we went to church and went to IHOP and had some good food. Then she had to go and is now driving back/almost home. I will miss her but I will see her in passing when I go home for Christmas. and she is planning to come back duing her break to go to disneylad aging befor her pass is up on Jan 14.
