Its been awhile.

Like 3 weeks i think.

Not much has happened.

Just work.

And homework.

Our work christmas party is this friday.

Im excited!

Last year was soooo much fun.

But im not crazy about where it is.

But hey.....im not gonna complain. Free food!

Ive been doing alot of music hunting on itunes the past week or so. I've come across 2 things that i think are becoming some of my new favorites.

The Zac Brown Band

&

The Glee Club cd's

Im not much of a country person, but The Zach Brown Band's songs are really good. They're fun! And i've never watched The Glee Club on tv, but i came across their cd and its GREAT! Those people on there can really sing!

I want one of these so bad.

exams are stupid.

I went to take both of my exams on saturday. I wanted to take my spanish test and get the hardest over with. Well the password wasnt working, it kept sayin it was invalid. I called the number it gave me in case i had problems and it turned out to be the school. Well guess what? They're closed on saturdays. So i only got to take my HRM test and ended up making a 74 on it. I just knew i had done better than that. But it ended up with an 88 for the term. Ive had an A in that class all the way till about a week ago. But......at least i passed.

Since my test wouldnt work saturday i was going to take it tonight. The school called me today and said my password had definitely been invalid and they were going to send me a new one. Well that one turned out to be invalid too. The girl from school said they were having computer problems and thats probably the reason and they had to call tech support but couldnt until tomorrow. So HOPEFULLY they get everything straightened out and i can finally take the test tomorrow night. Im definitely ready to get this test over with and enjoy my week off with no homework or school.

Exams

Tomorrow i'll be taking 2 exams. They're starting at 9 in the morning. Im so not looking forward to this. I just want them to be over with.

The worst day ever.

Yesterday was seriously the worst day i've had in a long long time. If not ever. Let me start from the beginning. I told you i went to the dr about my back. I didnt even think about how i hurt it till the dr started asking me where i worked and what i do. I told her i pick stuff up and she made me tell her everything i had picked up that day. I told her i picked up a box of paper in the closet and that was it. She said more than likely thats how i did it. I just probably turned wrong or something and strained it. Well my boss made me take 2 days off. I went back to work monday and our boss boss TB came and asked me if i had a release note from the dr sayin i could come back to work. I said no. She said well before you can do anything i have to have that note. So i told her i'd have to go back to the dr's office and get one. She said ok....i need you to go now. Then she asked me how i hurt it and did i hurt it at work. I said im not really sure.....but i think i hurt it picking up a box of paper. Then she started sayin i should have told somebody and they would have to write it up. You could tell she wasnt happy. So i ended up leaving work and i drove all the way home and got my discharge papers and then went all the way to the dr's office to get them to give me something that said i was allowed to go back to work. I gave it to my boss.

Well yesterday my boss pulled me in the other room and she was like how did you hurt your back? This is how our conversation went:

Boss: How did you hurt your back?

Me: Im not 100% sure....but i think i hurt it picking up a box of paper

Boss: Well thats not what TB said you told her. She said you told her you did hurt it that way.

Me: I didnt even think about thats how i hurt it till the dr told me to tell her everything i had lifted that day and she said its more than likely how i hurt it.

Boss: This is not good. You should have told us you hurt it that way. You know we have to write this stuff up.

Me: Well i honestly didnt think about it. I just now my back was hurting and i was tired of it.

Boss: Well TB is really mad about this. She said you told her that you hurt it picking up a box of paper and i said no...she hasnt said anything about it to me. This is NOT good.

Me: Well im sorry. I didnt think about it having to be wrote up. And there's not a moment when i did something and said ohhh....i just hurt my back. I didnt think about it till the dr told me to name what all i had lifted that day. And im pretty sure it was that box of paper.

The conversation kept goin on and on. But she just told me that TB had asked her to talk about me about it and that i should have said something. Excuse me......when i talked to you on the phone that night about it.....i had just had 2 shots of muscle relaxer shots in the butt. There's no way that stuff was on my mind. And why didnt she pick up on anything and ask me how i had hurt it??

So yesterday when i got home i just lost it. I think i cried for like 5 hours straight last night. I was upset and felt like i had done the stupidest thing ever. I know they're gonna want to talk to me about it. Im scared to death. Seriously SCARED TO DEATH. I've been so stressed out all day long till i feel like im gonna throw up and my head is going to explode.

Hopefully they'll be nice about it. I didnt mean to do it on purpose. My boss had to tell me it had to be wrote up cause if it happened at work then insurance would pay for it and workman's comp would kick in. I dont want anything. I hurt my back, i went to the dr and now i feel better. I just wanna leave it at that. I'll write it up if i have to. I just wish they wouldnt make a big deal out of it.

Its been almost a month since ive updated this thing. Last friday i hurt my back. It kept getting worse and then it would ease up. I started having cramps in my right leg real bad too. So wednesday night i went to the dr. She said i pulled something in my back and its probably just the weather causing the cramps in my leg. But she gave me 2 muscle relaxer shots and a prescription for lortabs and flexiril. I havent been taking the flexiril like im suppose to, but i can definitely tell a difference. The cramps are gone and my back is alot better. That flexiril makes me drowsy big time and i dont have a very big appetite.

Last night we went out to eat for my dads birthday. We ate at the bass pro shop. My cajun grilled chicken sandwich was GOOD! Then we went to kohls for awhile. My leg starting hurtin.....so i was ready to go.

Today im going to the christmas jubilee with my mom and sister. I cant wait. I hope its like the merry market was. Monogram stuff everywhere. :)

Is it time to go yet?

This Christmas my family will be spending it at the beach at the coolest condo ever made. And i CANNOT wait. Im ready to get away from mobile, sit on the beach and do nothing, sleep in a different bed, stay up late and sleeping in, and the biggest one of all.....no homework! I dont care if its 30 degrees on christmas day, i plan on sitting out on the beach as long as i can. Can you tell im a little excited?

And while i have your attention, let me tell you about one of my new favorite things.

This stuff is AMAZING! I read about it and made my sister pick me some up from target. I used it last night for the first time and when i got up this morning i could tell a huge difference. I have really dry skin. And for the first time in a long time, it felt great. I highly reccomend it.

Favorites.

Since i dont really have a life to blog about, i thought i'd talk about a couple of my favorite things lately.

1. My blackberry bold. I've had it for a little over 2 months and i absolutely love it. This is the phone i wanted and waited for. We're very happy together. Its the best birthday present i've ever gotten myself.

2. Etsy. Lately i catch myself using my whole lunch break just looking at stuff on there. I love anything monogrammed so im always lookin stuff up in that "category." I've found so much stuff on there that i want. Wall decals, purses, makeup, food (yes they have food) and i even bought myself a new desktop calendar for work yesterday.

3. Febreze. They have a new scent called autumn spice and crisp. Its AMAZING! I find myself spraying it every single night in my room just to smell it. Im about to run out.

4. Maurices. If you've never been to their store...you're missing out. They have some really cool stuff and its not expensive. They have both regular and plus sizes. Now you can buy stuff online on their website. And we just had one open here in Mobile. I cant wait to go.

5. Smart Ones desserts. These are sooooo good. I've tried 2 different kinds and they are both so good. The brownie a la mode is my favorite.

6. Weight watchers. I joined about 7 or 8 weeks ago and i really like it. The first week i did good. Then im losing about a pound a week. But last week....we wont talk about that. I always thought it was a diet and you'd starve yourself. But its really not. You still eat whatever you want, just change how you eat it. I catch myself thinking do i really need that alot. Which is good.

7. Mexican food. My family eats at the same mexican restaurant about once a week. No lie. Its one of our favorites.

8. Sunday nights at the cracker barrel. This has become our family's latest tradition. We usually always end up there on sunday nights. But im not complaining. They have the best grilled chicken blt!

9. The fact that i'll be spending Christmas this year in the coolest condo ever. Me and my mom came up with the idea of doing this since we'll just end up staying home being bored. We finally found a condo thats bigger than our house! And its on the 20th floor. I CANNOT WAIT!!

10. This is not a favorite but i couldnt just list 9 things. This is something that i cant stand now. Spanish. Taking a spanish class online is just hard work. The website we use sucks and we dont get to hear how the words are pronounced. And since we have to record ourselves a couple times a week, its hard to when you dont know how to pronounce what you're sayin. I cannot wait for this class to be over with!

Paint and Pals

Last night i went to Paint and Pals with my mom and sister. I've always wanted to go and now im glad i did. Its alot of fun! Me and my mom painted a snowman on the beach and my sister painted a nutcracker. Since it was christmas night they played christmas music and gave us free apple cider. We also got to get a free picture that had already been painted. I got sailboats.

Ahhh :)

I love air fresheners. I love to see what new scents they came out with. How long do they last when you spray them. I think lately i've become addicted to them. Just walk in my room and see how many different kinds i have.

I was at walmart tonight and i spotted it. An endcap with febreeze on it. I love febreeze. I think its the best air freshener ever made. They had their new fall scents. They have one that is called autumn spice & crisp. OMG. It smells sooooo good. I think everybody needs to try it. And you get 2 bottles for $5.

Hellooooo.....(tap tap)......is this mic on??

Sometimes i wonder why i have a blog. I dont think anybody reads it. But if you do.....leave me a comment every now and then! :)

Its a friday night and im sitting on my bed doing homework. My spanish class requires us to complete assignments every single day. Some days can be just 1, some can be have up to 5 or 6. Today i had 4. I just got finished with them. 3 100's and an 83. Hopefully that brings my grade up! Tomorrow i have to actually record myself. Im soooo nervous! I need to write everything out so i can practice and then read it. I have to pretend i witnessed a crime scene and greet a policeman, introduce myself, spell my last name, tell him my phone number and then say goodbye. Have i mentioned that im nervous?? Cause i am.

So far im not really liking the spanish class. But i like my human resource management class. Most of the stuff ive read is stuff you pretty much know if you've ever been employed. I hope this class turns out good.

Speaking of HRM, i need to do some homework in there so i can go ahead and turn my test in. That way i can have the next 2 days to concentrate in spanish. Cause i dont think i've mentioned it.....but im nervous!! Haha.

Goodnight everybody!

Everything i touch breaks.

I think this is starting to be true. Last week was my last week for my computer class and i had 2 projects to do. Both were 40 points each. Well they had to be done on Access and what do you know? My Access breaks. It wouldnt do anything. I think i tried everything and finally just decided i had enough and i was going to turn in what i could. Which wasnt anything really. Finally my mom downloaded a free trial version and FINALLY got that to work. I ended up doing my projects and making a 92 on the test.

So yesterday started new classes. Im taking intro to spanish and human resource management. Im not understanding this spanish stuff at all. We have to use another website to get our assignments on and it took me forever to learn how to make an account. Finally after getting that done i went to sign in. It wont let me. The little green bar on the bottom of my screen goes all the way to the end and then just sits there. And when i try again i get the "internet explorer cannot open webpage" page. I guess thats broke too. I emailed the tech support girl and i got an out of office reply. It said she was out of the office until august 19. What? Is that suppose to be like 5 or 6 weeks ago august 19 or next year august 19? So i ended up emailing somebody else. I hope they can help me.

Then we're suppose to use these HUGE ridiculous headphones. I used mine tonight for the first time. Only 1 side works. How am i suppose to understand another language on some headphones where only 1 side works. Again....i touched it....so it broke.

Im off tomorrow. I had 1 day left of vacation and decided to take it tomorrow. Id rather be off in the middle of the week than on a monday or friday. The week seems to go by faster for me when i do that. I plan on sleeping in.....doin some homework.....and then probably goin to target or wherever. Gotta get that dog food.

Today was a horrible horrible day.

I need to vent. This might be a long post...but i need to do it.

Today was a horrible day. Its my job at work to do UPS labels and stuff. I have to go around to all the departments and get their UPS stuff and then make a label and get it ready to be picked up. When the driver showed up he said i only have 15 and its showing 16. So the 3 of us went down the list and found one that we didnt have and i said i didnt do that one. The only other person who can make labels is a woman in IT. So my boss went down to see if they had something. Sure enough they did. I told her i didnt see it when i checked earlier. She was like i dont see how....the only way you couldve missed it is if you didnt check at all. I told her i did check and i didnt see it. If it was me....i would have been like ok....we have what we need...lets just drop it. No. She then tells me she's going to call down to IT and see who put that UPS out down there and what time. I was so mad.

So when i got to work this morning and after she got her coffee she walked in the room and asked me to come in the next room because she needed to talk to me. She pretty much just told me that she asked about the package and it was there the whole time and apparently i didnt look and then lied about it. I kept telling her over and over that i didnt see it. So then she tells me there's been plenty of times that her and the other girl have thought i was lying to them.

Excuse me?

You dont stand there and tell somebody that. She doesnt care what she says to anybody. As long as she can prove a person did something and its not her. What really gets on my nerves is that she'll sit there all day long and talk about church and quote scriptures from the Bible. But then you go and tell me im a liar?? There's something wrong with that picture.

Then after that she acted like she was my best friend and was like i know you havent been feeling good so maybe you just said something and didnt realize it.....and we're all humans and make mistakes.

2 faced.

So yeah. My day was absolute horrible. After today i've come to a conclusion that im only trusting like 5 people. So many people i know act like they're your friend and then they find something you did and just yell at you and make you feel horrible. Im tired of it.

I was sitting at my desk today and i thought about this quote. Its on the princess diaries. Haha. But it fits PERFECTLY with everything thats gone on today.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Ok. I think im done. I feel a little better :) But im still in a bad mood!

Today is the day....

We've all counted down the days till Alabama's first game. And now its finally here.

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

I finally did it......

I joined weight watchers tonight. Im excited. Its gonna be hard for me to cut out certain foods. No more going to foosacklys for lunch i guess.

We walked around the yard tonight 3 times. I know that doesnt sound like much but our yard is huge. We also walked up to the church and back twice. I need to start doing that more often.

I need a bed makeover. For awhile now i've just hated my bed. All it is is a mattress on a frame shoved up against the wall. I want a headboard. I know what kind i want, but when i find them online they're expensive. I finally found the kind i want on a website and its only $80! What do you think? I cant save the picture so you'll just have to go to the website.

One of my favorite things is when some friends of yours has a new baby and you get to meet them for the first time. There are 2 babies i cannot wait to meet!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

So yesterday was my 28th birthday. Me and my mom headed over to foley to do some shopping. I bought 3 shirts for work that i cant wear until the weather gets cooler, but at least i found something i like. Yall know how picky i am about clothes. We even ate lunch at the waffle house. My mom had never been to one before. She was like out of all the restaurants around here and you choose the waffle house?? I wanted to go cause i never get to go there. It was good though. Who could turn down some hashbrowns with cheese and ketchup on them? :)

After that we headed home and ate some pizza. Then presents!! I got $50 and two $50 gift cards to ATT. So what did i do with them? I went to the mall and got me a new phone! A BLACKBERRY BOLD! I have been wanting this phone since they first came out. So far i LOVE it! I just dont know how to use it very good. Thank goodness kristi can show me. Haha.

Im off today and tomorrow and had planned on getting alot of homework done. We'll be heading to montgomery saturday for payton's bday party at the zoo. I cant wait! I use to love goin there when i was little. Even though it was just on a class trip. And i cant even remember the last time i've been to a zoo. So next saturday i'll be on the road and will probably be doin homework all day sunday. Then the next saturday we'll be heading up to tuscaloosa to go to my great aunt and uncles 50th wedding anniversary party. It'll be fun to see my family at something else besides a funeral.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYTON ELLA!

Today this little kid turns 2! She is one of my most favoritest people in the whole world! I cannot wait to see her next saturday at her party thats going to be at the zoo and finally meet her new little sister!

I cant wait to have my laptop back.

It has been over 2 weeks since i've last posted. So what have i been up to? Absolutely nothing! Work and school.....thats about it. Next week is my last week of these 2 classes. This term has FLOWN by! I have a 94 in psychology and a 90 in earth science. I want to finish this term with 2 A's. My next 2 classes are US history and computer essentials. They're suppose to be easy. So we'll see.

My birthday is coming up. 3 more weeks i think. I'll be 28. Im getting old.

Tomorrow we'll be heading over to gulf shores after work to eat with krista. We're goin to tacky jacks. I cant wait!

Ok....its lunch time. Im gonna eat my CPK pizza i bought. MMMM!

I think since we only have a 4 day work week....thats its goin to drag! It feels like the weekend is not coming fast enough. And its only monday. Im ready to see some fireworks! Thats my favorite part of the 4th. I want to go to the beach and watch them like we did 2 years ago. Nothing beats sittin on the beach at night watchin fireworks.

I think i got burnt at the tanning bed tonight. My back and chest are burnt and my lips feel like it too. Ugh.

What's happening to the weekends?

Weekends use to feel like they really were 2 days. Now they feel like just 1. Maybe they feel that way to be cause mine nowadays are spent doin homework. I did get to go shopping last night across the bay. I got 2 shirts for work and part of a baby shower present.

My b'day is less than 2 months away. I'll be 28. Ugh.....that means im close to 30.

Well im off to bed. All that homework today wore me out. Goodnight.

Hurry up weekend

I never have anything interesting to write about. Im so glad tomorrow is friday. I need to do as much homework as i can tomorrow night. I plan on goin shopping saturday. I need some new clothes for work. BAD! And then saturday night we're meeting our cousin krista across the bay to eat and do whatever. Im on week 2 of my classes and so far i like both of them. Right now science is a little boring, but it'll get more interesting. I made a 100 on my psychology test last week. Yay.

Introducing Miss Hadley Carter!

Lacey and Tyson had their 2nd little girl on may 28th. I cannot wait to meet her!

Erica stayed with us thursday and friday night and then yesterday was spent at the beach. So much fun! I wish i could sit out there every saturday all day long. I think my new favorite place is under the bridge. Hardly anybody goes there and you can sit and watch the boats go by.

So long business law.......you wont be missed.

This is my last week of business law and i cannot tell you how excited i am. Im seriously thinkin about burning my book so i dont have to look at it for the rest of my life (unless i fail the class, which i hope i dont!). My next 2 classes are earth science and general psychology. I got my books today and they look pretty interesting.

Last night we all rode over to gulf shores to go eat at hazel's. If you've never eat there, you dont know what you're missing. Its the best seafood ever. And i learned that im definitely not good at eating snow crab legs. I just end up making a HUGE mess.

Im goin back to michael's today. I got a coupon for 40% off and you know im gonna find some way to use it. We went the other night and i got some scrapbook stuff. I've never been into any of that.....but im making kristi one with all her wedding stuff in it. And plus she bought some stuff for the reception. So im pretty sure one of us will find something to buy.

After that i plan on studying some. I know i did bad on my test last night and this is my last week. I need to do really good on this one. Its not that im lazy and dont wanna do my homework....i just dont understand it. I cant stand this class.

3 1/2 day weekend!

They closed the office 3 hours early today so i got to leave at 12:30. Yay! Its suppose to rain all weekend so not much you can do. Oh well. Its better than being at work.

Home again....

Got to work this morning and they were like your scanner is still broke....you might as well go home. So i just said ok, cause i've got alot of homework left to do and i can do some packing. So out the door i went. Now back to the homework.

2 more days till the beach!

I took today off. It was suppose to be tomorrow but i changed it to today cause my scanner at work is broke and i didnt have anything to do. We're leaving friday night to go to destin for the weekend for mother's day so i wanted to have as much homework as i could done. I dont wanna be bothered with it this weekend. So....i took a day off to do that and wash some clothes so i can kinda start packing. So far i've answered 3 out of 4 essay questions. One of them was EXTREMELY hard. Glad i finally got it and got it out of the way.

Had lunch with jessica today. I sent her a text yesterday tellin her i was off that maybe we could do lunch. It was like 10:30 today and i hadnt heard from her so i never got a shower and just figured she wouldnt call. But she did. I had 30 minutes to get a shower and get dressed. Anybody who knows me can tell you that it takes me about an hour or more to get ready. Im so slow.

Well i need to go get some more clothes out of the dryer and see what all i need to pack. I always forget something.
