Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!!


So I was about to write in here last night and had alot of it written.. then Manny called and while on the phone, I got booted and it went away and it wasn't finished so I am here to try to conquer it one more time lol

For the past few days I have been shopping. I went that one day with my mom and Dot and I went with my mom the other day to Wal-Mart to buy a few things.. we went to the mall today cuz I had to buy Kaitlyn a birthday present.. I went and got things at the Express for myself but I gotta return them.. im in between sizes so they didn't fit right.. fit but looked wierd in certain areas so.. oh well

I babysat Tuesday night.. that went fine.. same as always.. Kayla acting so darn cute that the whole time I gotta laugh at her lol

I woke up extremely early this morning to watch Anthony at 8.. I got home before 11 and went to the mall with my mom.. got home, Sheamus came over at 1 and he left around 5.. I went outside and gave Kaitlyn her birthday present.. with her til like 630 and came home to Dot at my house.. sat with them and I just got done watching Extreme Makeover.. it was really good.. the new series Life As We Know It is on now and I don't know.. I am watching and typing at the same time.. maybe it'll be interesting.. but incase it's not.. this is occupying me.

So on another note even tho no one will care, my period is real irregular and I can't stand it. First I will have a 27-28 day cycle.. awhile back it changed to like a 30-31 day cycle.. then it went back to 28 and now this time, 35 days.. HELLO!!! WHAT THE HECK!! Why? It tortures ya.. I am getting cramps, wearing something incase I get it and I wasted a week doin that so if I went out, nothing happened.. and nope, nothing til midnight last night, so yea, today I guess it really came when I woke up at 7. And then, way back when, I used to get it for 7-10 days which is a real long time to get it but I was knowing when I would get it.. when the cycle days change, it lasted not as long.. for like 5-6 days. Then it went to like 4.. now it's back up to 6-7.. I can't take it.. not knowing what is going to happen like every other girl out there does.. whatever.. f it lol.

The other night I talked to Kathy for a real long time. I haven't seen her in awhile and when we talk on the phone, it's not for that long.. it was like an almost 3 hour long convo.. about a bunch of rambling lol... like always.. good times tho.

Manny is coming in again in a few days.. for a week.. going home for a week and coming back in for a week and leaving the day after halloween, so halloween night will be real fun..

I hung out with DJ the other night.. that was a good night.. haven't seen him in 3 weeks.. he has like a 2nd job, a new "other half" and he's doin good.. we went to Wal-Mart so he can buy CD's so he can burn some.. Friendly's to eat.. driving around, dropped him off for 10 and that's the night I called Kathy and didn't get to bed til like 2-3AM.. good time tho

And while I am rambling.. there are a few movies I wanna see out..
1. Shark Tale
2. Raise Your Voice *for all who know, I hate Hilary Duff, she's just the stereotype of what people think ALL white girls are about.. which is not true cuz I am not like it.. she has that high pitched, really teeny bopper attitude.. here's an example.. "like, OMG, totally, that's so awesome".. all the likes and totally's.. some are.. but I am not like her and she annoys me lol.. but I wanna see it cuz of James Oliver.. so cute
3. The Grudge *looks scary and I hate scary movies but it looks good
4. Raising Helen *comes out on DVD on tuesday so I gotta buy it

There might be a few more but I can't think.. but I wanna see a movie and those look good about now.. I know there's another one but I can't think of it for the life of me.. OOOH!!! 5. THE FORGOTTEN *the movie with Julianne Moore and her past is erased.. looks real good

Don't know what else to ramble on about.. just wanted to give a brief update.. all of the exciting things I talked about.. last entry I talked about the zoo so .. yea.. we're good.. sorry so boring but it'll get more exciting next time.. just not really in the typing mood right now lol

Later

we're like the perfect model of what a couple should be :-D


It has been a long time, I apologize.. but in the last entry I did warn y'all so no getting mad at me :-D

I was spending 3 weeks with my boyfriend. It felt real nice :)

He came in on a Monday.. it was September 13th I believe.. and he surprised me. He was supposed to take the 1 bus in and I was getting ready at like 2 something to leave at 3 to pick him up and there he is.. standing in the doorway to my room.. my mom went to pick him up so that was a very pleasant surprise.

I am not sure of sequential order of anything that happened because the three weeks was long and I can't think back of what happened first.. but I will just lay out a bunch of things that happened while he was here.

we got pocket rockets LOL.. those tiny lil' mini mini mini motorcycle things that run on electric power, u just charge them.. and my mom even got herself an electric sittin scooter, we looked hot riding on those things

watched a real cute movie.. 13 Going On 30.. it was cute, I enjoyed it.. and when Manny laughs, you know he actually likes a chick flick, so he can't deny it.. he enjoyed one for once :)

cuddled lots and lots. Nights that we didn't go out, we just laid in the back from like 9- bedtime.. veggin out, watching movies, t.v., boxing, spors center, EVERYTHING.. the new bachelor, Lost, Wifeswap, Trading Spaces, Extreme Makeover: home edition, While You Were Out, What Not To Wear.. you name it, if it was on t.v. at night, we watched it

went shopping.. to the mall to buy me some new jeans.. cuz I have none lol

went to Wal-Mart and bought new bikes.. we were working out and exercising and dieting together so on nice days outside, we were biking.. so we had to get new bikes

went driving around alot

went window shopping in burlington

went pet shopping to look at ferrets at petco and kitties at the SPCA and PetSMart

went kitty, puppy, and ferret shopping at pet shops.. and we established something.. when we get our own place, which won't be too soon, but kinda of soon.. after college.. we want two small puppies and a ferret and a kitty.. not too much :) it'll be cute

did alot of talking about our future actually. marriage, house, kids, pets, jobs, school, everything about it.. it's nice talking about it.. feels real good to know that two people could love each other so much.. we're like the perfect model of what a couple should be :-D Think about it.. what couples these days after being together for 3 years enjoy doing the same things over and over again and don't get bored doing it because the person you're doing it with makes it all worth while. We just lay around at night since we're not out every night.. and it is fun laying down together watching t.v. :)

our 3 year anniversary was september 25th and he took me out to dinner.. we went to Smokey Bones.. it is this new restaurant that opened by us and it's been there for like a month or so and it was real good.. it's a BBQ kind of thing, enjoyable :)

We went to the Philadelphia Zoo. That was fun. My sister Tammy and her kid Ashley. My sister Kelly and her Kayla. Kelly's friend Michelle, her hubby Chris and their 2 kids Meghan and Cristian. Me and Manny. Tammy's friend Shar and her little girl Julie. I took pictures of all of the animals that I had enough film for.. the penguins were the most adorablest and then the sea otters.. they were cute. And the kids got their face painted and I wanted to be a little kid so I did too, like a butterfly :) I have a picture if y'all wanna see LOL. And then I convinced all of the adults to get it done too.. you have to act like a little kid sometimes, ya know? It's fun.. so I got a butterfly.. Tammy got hearts.. Kelly was a mask lady.. Michelle had flower power and Manny was a pirate, AYE MATEY!! It was cute.. I have pictures of everyone :)

It's just not fun anymore to be 19 and not still have the little kid in you. Some people might read this and think if they saw us they woud roll our eyes at us.. but why? How can you be so mature all of the time, ya know? Oh well.. I had fun and we all did.. especially walking around like that and then driving in the car and people staring and the people lookin at us when we stopped at a Service Plaza to pee lol.. it was a good time

There was much more we did but I can't think.. I got the important things down tho

And he left last night.. I am back to my old schedule, my regime. I am over Kelly's now watching Kayla.. she's watching Dragon Tales so I thought I would do this quickly. I watched Kayla the whole 3 weeks Manny was here, just Kelly brought her to my house so it was easier.

I gotta go tho.. Ciao

ya put ur right leg in and u shake it all about


I just don't want to go to sleep right yet so that leads me to here..

I wrote in here last night.. but early in the morning so it shows as September 12.. but yesterday was the 11th and I find it rude of myself that I didn't honor the 11th.. so I just want to show this here as a tribute.. I hate the idea of the war and don't think it should be going on right now but I guess we gotta do what we gotta do.. and the war is it.. but all of the people that died on that day is a tragedy.. who could ever think that people could be so darn cruel is beyond me.. but my mom had bought a huge flag awhile back.. the american flag and within the red and white strips is EVERY single person's name who died on 9-11 so we hung it outside and it's still there.. :)

So.. another thing.. Happy Anniversary to my sister Rhonda :) WOO WOO

Today I did nothing.. I ended up babysitting Kayla from 2-8:30 so that was fun. My mom went with my sister Kelly to a Home & Garden party so me and Kayla went for a LONG walk and stayed inside and played with some beanie babies.. she's 3, she's amused easily lol. My mom got home and we all played outside, went to Dot's house, played there, came back, played outside again. It was fun.. she's so darn cute :-) And that was my day.

The whole time we were on a walk she was wanting to pick flowers from people's gardens and take leaves off of trees in people's yards. She had a drink in one hand and I was giving her piggy back rides. When we got back home after a 2 hr. walk.. that's a long walk for a 3 year old so that surprised me.. we stayed inside, cooled off, watched some t.v. Nothing was on. We were doing the hokey pokey with the beanie baby bears.. Princess and the Holiday Bear from 1999. Ya put ur right leg in, ya put ur right leg out, ya put ur right leg in and u shake it all about lol. It was fun.. with my friends, u can call me the corniest, nerdiest, dorkiest girl ever but with my 3 year old niece, I find it very entertaining and fun :)

I started watching Jersey Girl at 915 when Manny called me at 10. That was surprising cuz he was supposed to call at 11. He called earlier cuz him and his friends were going to go walking around the city and whatnot and so it was cool.. I paused the movie and talked to him for an hour.

The movie was alright. They claimed it to be funny and I didn't see that in the movie. It was actually kinda sad and had a love thing in it. Not even with a girl.. well yea, kinda, but more love between him and his daughter.

OK.. for all who don't wanna know about the movie.. DON'T READ THE NEXT PARAGRAPH =)

Ben Affleck plays Ollie. J-LO plays Gertie. Ollie and Gertie are together, she ends up pregnant, she has the baby, and she dies lol. She dies giving birth cuz of a anurism (however u spell it). So he goes and names his little girl Gertie (short for Gertrude). He's a terrible father. He is in this business in the city and all he wants is his job. So his dad (played by George Carlin and is referred to as Pop in the movie) takes care of her for the longest time until he realizes "I have to take care of my responsiblity." It's cute tho cuz he goes to give his daughter her bottle while his dad is saying "go be a father" and he gets upstairs and gives this speech.. it's touchin and understanding.. he says to the baby that he neglected her because she reminded him of his fiancee and when he looked at her, that's all he saw and he missed her too much but from that moment on he was going to be the best father any father could be. So it goes to when she's 7 and in elem. school. He is living with his Pop in NJ being a guy on the borough. He meets Liv Tyler at a movie store she works at when they're renting movies and they talk and she is wanting to interview him about a paper she's writing and the meet at a diner. She talks him into having sex and Gertie comes home, he hides her in the shower.. she sees them.. that's that. Ollie and Liv never had a relationship, they were just friends thru-out the rest of the movie. He gets an idea that he wants his old job back so he called an old friend from work and asks him to get him an interview and he does but it's on the same night as his daughter's play at school. He goes to the interview and he leaves that cuz his daughter is more important and gets there just in time to help her out in the show (since the parent's were in the performance). And that is that. It went to show that he was a single dad who had nothing but love for his daughter and she was the most important thing to him. It was more sad and cute and stuff.. than it was funny.. like the critics said.. ehh.. it was an OKAY movie but ehh.. who knows

So yea.. nothing else to talk about really. That's what I have been doin'.. nothing more.. gonna get to bed and wake up for the gym in the morning.. go work out.. have my day tomorrow. But so y'all know.. I won't be updating for a very long time.. my boyfriend Manny is coming in for 3 weeks and the computer doesn't get used when we spend time together.. it's like a distraction lol. If he takes a shower or whatever, I can update.. but more than likely, I will just be spending my 3 weeks with him.. going out with each other.. some of my friends.. babysitting.. gym.. and the zoo.. and whatever else falls in between that for us. I know the whole time we'll be spending time cuddling and play-wrestling and being all cute and stuff but as for going out all the time, I don't know what's in the picture.. I know we'll go on walks and go driving around lookin' at cars and all that jazz but we'll be spending lots of time together :) I am excited.. he'll be getting in tomorrow at 3:45..

Gonna jet

it's a grand ol' time lol.. checking out the older men ;-)


I was debating on if I wanted to write in here tonight and tell ya about my weekend or wait til tomorrow since it will be Sunday and more over than tonight would be.. even tho Sunday starts the week.. but I don't know.. I decided while I had the time tonight I would do it.. cuz I have more time tonight.. I am going to the gym every other morning now (explain in a minute on why) and tomorrow I get to sleep in so I thought since I am staying up tonight I would do it tonight and go to bed earlier tomorrow since I got to wake up for Monday morning :)

So to the first thing, about the gym..

I am going every other morning now. I figured this.. I am going every morning. Monday morning I will do my cardio, upper body (tri's, bi's, chest, shoulders, back) and then my stomach. Tuesday I will do cardio, lower body (quad's, ham's, calves, butt) and my stomach. I alternate that every day and Sunday's I usually just do cardio so every Monday is the same and whatever.. Sundays are like 20 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill.. 10 minutes on the bike.. and then I will go do my stomach exercises and leave.
Well I figured something out.. which I thought of awhile ago and knew about it, but it didn't appeal to me until now.. I can just go every other day.. just do abit of a longer cardio workout to get more sweaty in the beginning.. go do my upper body.. then take like a 2-3 minute breather.. go get sweaty again on another cardio machine and do lower body.. then go do the bike or so for like 5-10 minutes to keep my body in motion and go do stomach.. so I can get everything done in one day. I would do that every day but ur muscles need time to recover. I read this stuff in this book and if you work the same muscle group two days in a row, too much damage is done to the muscle so it's best to do every other day. So I thought instead of going everyday.. I can go every other day and work everything in one day. It works out better for me anyways, here's why..

The gym has alot of elderly people in it.. cardiac patients.. and the trainers often help them and assist them in their exercises. It's like a rehabilitation clinic with a gym in it for people to join so the old people use it since it's free for them. The trainers sometimes have this circuit thing for the cardiac patients and whatever and when that's done, they can do whatever. But, elderly people in general use my gym. It's not full of buff men and women working out, building muscle, wearing the spandex and whatever. It's mostly the elder. And there's alot of them. There are a few young ones that come in there, like early 20's to 30's.. but that's about it. So, with the elderly people and whatnot.. if I am having an upper body day and those machines are taken and the weights are being used in the back, what do I do? I have to stand around and wait for them to be done and waste time. So if I work on everything, I can go do something while they are doing something else.. so I got this all thought out.
That is what I like about the gym so much tho. It's not all young people who don't need to improve their bodies at all, but just going cuz they know they look good and whatever.. it's elderly people who won't talk behind ur back if u weigh 2 lbs. over what you should. And the trainers are super sweet and the elderly people are nicer to talk to lol.. tell you a bunch of stories, it's a grand ol' time lol.. checking out the older men LOL

But real quick.. I have lost another inch from the waist and a ½ inch of the hips.. still haven't measured arms or legs or whatever yet but everything is going terrificly hehe.. ::is terrificly a word?::

So anywho.. Friday was a busy day. I was supposed to watch my nephew but I got sick in the middle of the night so I slept in and woke up.. took a shower, went to babysit, came home for a few things, went to pick DJ up and we went to the fair. It was horrible getting there cuz there was alot of traffic but it was only $6 to get in and it was worth it. We walked around for awhile and I went to the petting zoo and I fed llama's, sheep, goats, pigs, and ducks.. OOH and turkeys too. Kathy was calling my cell phone the whole time asking me what I was doing and what her and her friends should do.. so they came to the fair and we all met up.. so it was me DJ Kathy Laura and Liz. We were walking around.. we went into this fun center thing where Kathy Laura and I were going insane in, screaming, and scaring the littl'uns. Then me and DJ went on this ride and they went walking around. After the ride I met up with Kevin, Janel, Ray, Chris, and Lauren. We were all talking and Kathy called again and they came so it was ALL of us.. the group of 5 left and us 5 walked around.. Kaitlyn called and I talked to her for a few.. we ate.. sat around.. we all left around 11:30.. I drove for a bit, came home for 12:15, talked to Manny, went to bed and that leads me to today :)

I went to the gym this morning where I did everything since it was the first official day of my new routine :-D lol. I came home, watched a bit of t.v., took a shower, and me and my mom went to a wedding. It was nice. It wasn't a traditional church wedding at 1 or 2 PM.. followed by a reception around 5-10 or 6-11. It was at a firehall at 4. She got married in the hall.. it's where the reception was. Everyone was already seated and stuff.. watched from there, they got married (it was very nice, but boring, the efficient was anyways), then we ate. After eating was over they introduced the bridal party and the whole "for the first time in public, mr. and mrs. BLAGH BLAGH".. so it was cute.. dancing.. then the bouquet and garter.. dancing.. then the cake.. dancing.. it was good. Me and my mom left at 8 something cuz we wanted to go sit with Dot for awhile.
DJ called and I hung out with him.. we drove around the whole night.. it was kinda nice driving for like 3 hours with the window down.. it was cool. I got home and that was that.

Manny called me at 9 something and told me he wasn't going to call tonight cuz he was hanging out with 2 friends he hasn't seen in a real long time. Well, he sees Raymond and Antonio ALL THE TIME.. and is usually with them.. and he was hanging with another Ray and George.. he hasn't seen them in like 2 months.. so I told him to go have fun.. and I will talk to him tomorrow.. he's coming in on Monday.. so it's exciting.. staying for 3 weeks, I can't wait :-D

But I guess that's it.. I got to wake up, do my thing in the morning, watch Kayla from 1:30-7 tomorrow for Kelly so she can go to some party she has of her girlfriend's and then go clean one of her tenant's place. She has this complex, she's a landlord, and she has someone new moving in I think and the guy who lived there left it messy so she's cleaning it up before they come look at it.. so that'll be that. If I get bored tomorrow night, I will be back in here updating.. if not, sorry. Like y'all care anyways hehe.

I'm off to bed.. I am taking advantage of lots of sleep tonight.. G'nite All

<3 Dotti

it's k, I am not complaining.. ;-)


Hello Hello

I was babysitting when I wrote in here last time.. so let me keep goin.. at least I think that is when I updated last.. hmm oh well

Tuesday night I talked to Kathy, she called when I was getting ready to leave Kayla to Dave.. she was going to hang out with me Wednesday night because she was going to sit and visit with her brother and stuff.. it is a real long story and too personal to tell.. normally I tell things but I don't think Kathy wants this about her brother in here.. let's just say he needs some help with things and her and her other brother wanted to talk to him to try to convince him of some stuff to help him out

I stayed home and did my thing.. I waited and talked to Manny on the phone.. didn't do anything

Wednesday came.. whoohooo

I went to the gym.. kathy picked me up around 230. She wanted to go to the DMV to get her picture taken. Her driver's license expires in November but she won't be home because of her job in FL so she wanted to get it done then.. we got lost cuz Kathy tried to take some wierd way to the DMV.. i know of 2 ways. Go thru wilkes-barre or take the ave. and go over carey ave. bridge. Well, she wanted to take I-81 which I didn't know you could do and she didn't know the exit and we went too far.. it was crazy.. but we made it there.. she go ther picture taken.
Her daddy was coming home that night from the hospital and he has to sleep in an upward position so she wanted to clean the basement where the chair was.. the area around it.. so I went to her house and helped her do alittle bit of that while we were watching Martin Short on that Glick thing.. don't remember the name of it but it was funny.. fits Kathy's humor lol.. NO OFFENSE HUN!! lol
We left there after we cleaned and we went to the mall for her jeans. She is in big need of them. The jeans she been wearing are from high school but she wears nothing but jeans so they are wearing.. sooner or later they would have had holes in them.. so she got 2 new pairs.. a few other things.. that was that.
Then we were hungry and since Kathy is so undecisive, I wanted her to make all the decisions on where to eat lol.. if you know Kathy, she hates makin decisions.. I don't know how she's living out on her own.. she's surviving tho lol. But there was options and we chose to go to Wal-Mart and buy some groceries and go to her house and cook.. while buying some she said "let's go get chinese food." So we drove to my house, got a menu, ordered, picked it up, went to her house.. while we were eating we watched My Cousin Vinny.. it was a funny movie. Kathy started falling asleep the dork.. but she woke up and then she didn't wanna take me home now that I woke her up. So we watched Whose Line Is It Anyway and a bit of Half Baked, I don't think she was enjoying that movie too much. At 11 she went upstairs to take me home.
Right as soon as we were walking to the car and almost got in, her brother pulled up and had her daddy there. They were expecting him home from the hospital much sooner but he pulled in at 11.. they all thought 7-8'ish. So I went to see him and see how he was since I hadn't seen him in awhile. He had surgery down in Maryland so Kathy's oldest brother went to pick him up. So I told Kathy to just get me home so she can come home and visit and let the family be together.. so I got home at like 1120 or so, called Manny and that was that.

On the phone, we talked for our hour or so.. about our day.. about everything.. our little ramblings and our "I LOVE YOU!!" 's.. and Manny said he missed me too much to wait the 2 weeks we had planned. You all know already, with being in long distance.. we usually are together for a bit and away for two weeks.. but lately, Manny hasn't been able to handle the 2 weeks well and he's always saying "I can't wait for you to come here, I am coming to see you." So he is coming in on Monday and is staying for 2 weeks :) it'll be 13 days :) I am very very excited. Normal summers with his baseball he could do that cuz they only played games on Sundays and one sunday somewhere he would miss a game to spend 2 weeks with me. He would go home for a week and then come back for a week.. so friends, me, baseball was all split up fairly. With that baseball team he was on this summer, it was hard but they aren't playing games anymore or haven't called Manny to let him know about them or whatever.. so he just went home, a week will pass, and he's coming back in.. and he'll be here for 2 weeks.. so we are very excited. Normally tho, I was the one who said "babe, i miss you, can we not go two weeks?" but he always told me "we have to go two weeks, we can do it.. we have to get used to it" and it was true but now look who can't do it.. hehe.. it's k, I am not complaining.. NOT ONCE ;-)

I woke up this morning.. went to the gym.. came home.. watched some t.v... my sister rhonda called and I am going to babysit my nephew Anthony tomorrow morning.. he's almost 16 months old.. he's adorabley cute.. just I am not good with watching babies. I want my own kids, of course, but bottles and stuff, I never did it and don't wanna know how to do it or practice until I have to have my own baby. I watched Kayla when she was off of bottles, already walking.. all I did was change diapers and watch her cartoons and teach her things to help out Kelly and Dave while I was there for those hours.. with Anthony.. he's not on bottles no more.. just on juice which is easy.. and diaper changing.. and I never changed a boy's diaper before so this should be interesting lol. I only have one complaint tho.. I have to wake up tomorrow morning at 7 and leave at 730.. I'll be there til 1130.. i'll be coming home to take a nap before I shower and have my busy day ahead of me.. it's gonna suck. Cuz Manny is calling in 30 minutes.. I am always on the phone for awhile.. in bed by 130-2 and I gotta wake up at 7.. not as much sleep as I am used to since I never sleep solidly. I am always up in the middle of the night sometime going pee or getting a drink of water.. it always happens.. so with the shorter hours of sleep, it's gonna be BLAGH

But I will do that.. come home.. take a nap if I have time.. wake up around 2.. if no time for nap, I will just shower and get ready.. I am going to babysit Kayla at 4. I will leave there at 630 and go pick DJ up.. we had plans to go to the Luz. County Fair on Sat. but me and my mom have a wedding so we are going tomorrow.. on the busiest day. I was going to come home and get ready but that doesn't give us much time for the fair so I have to get ready before I babysit and just be careful with Kayla.. not to spill anything on me or whatever. We will do the fair until 11.. drop him off, come home.. and then have the rest of the weekend.. I will end up writing more about it tho at a later day

I am gonna get going.. finish downloading some music.. watch some t.v. and wait for my babe's phone call.. maybe someone will sign online and I can talk.. I haven't paid attention to my buddy list, my away message is on.. so I will go check that out.. Hey Look.. I have 5 IM's waiting for me lol.. I will see y'all later

Ciao

The kid hasn't napped for me in FOREVER


I am just really bored right now at my sister Kelly's house so I thought I would write alittle somethin somethin.. won't be long tho cuz I am not even sure what to write, it's just kinda something to do.. hmm

Last night I got real frustrated with this thing. I was posting my latest entry in here and everytime I went to view it, it wasn't showing up. I went to view it this morning to see if it was there, and it was the HTML in the template thing showing up.. none of my entries at all, it was so wierd.. so I took time and I fixed that this morning.

But I talked to Manny last night on the phone for awhile. He was sitting outside of Antonio's building with Raymond.. for about an hour and a half almost.. they went upstairs and I let him go so they can go hang out and do whatever.. and he's gonna be calling me tonight around 1130.. it'll be nice.. I miss him so much.. and I wanna see him. I don't go to NY until the 15th I think.. it's a Wednesday.. and then we are both coming back to PA on that monday so I can go babysit Kayla.. and then he's staying here until the 26th.. we want the 25th together cuz it's our 3 yr. anniv. :-D

I gots up this morning and I went to the gym.. it was a good time. But, I was on the phone with Manny and he told me that my body is fine. He said I got the shape, the curves, everything is fine.. the only thing is my arms. So today at the gym I really focused on my triceps. That is where they are big at.. all that darn fat is stored there. And then I of course do my sit-ups/crunches every day cuz my tummy just needs to get flat.. just cuz I want it to. But he said he never really noticed cuz to him I am perfect and I don't need anything wrong with me.. I am sexy to him.. yea, I am alittle thick but I am not fat.. I am just a teensy bit overweight and it bothers me so he told me everything is fine. When I wear a pair of jeans and a shirt, nothing is hanging over or anything. I do have thick thighs but it's all muscle from softball so it's hard to get them a bit smaller but it's mainly tummy and tri's.. and so today I focused on those real good.. WHOOOHOO

I got home, I didn't do much. I made myself some cucumbers with FF Italian dressing and those 100 cal. packs, the oreo ones :) they were good.. I watched some soaps, straightened up my room a bit since the kids finally left lol.. I took a shower, straightened the hair, put on pj's, and came here to my sister's house. I only put pj's on cuz I am only sitting over here from 4-6:30 with a 3 yr. old so I like to be comfy to move around with her.. but didn't need to do that today because she fell asleep. The kid hasn't napped for me in FOREVER.. today, sits on the couch while we were watching t.v. and OUT like a light she goes.. so oh well. I played a bit of this sponge bob game.. it's mine, but I let Kayla borrow it since she was in love with it and it's still here so I was with that for awhile.. and thought I can come on the computer for a bit so I came online just to do this and then maybe I will go on AIM and so who is on and whatever until Dave gets home.. blah blagh blah..

I am to hang out with Kathy tonight. But it's sucking cuz she called last night and said "I need a new pair of jeans so we can go to the mall, probably do something tomorrow" and I called her at 1 something and I got her voice mail, left her a message, that is that. Well, I called her again at 5 and her phone is shut off. Her bro is in the hospital so I can see if she is there visiting, that is why her phone would be off.. but I wish she would have called me back so I wasn't sitting around waiting. I mean, it wasn't definite if we were hanging out tonight or not. It just kinda came up when she called my cell phone last night when I was with Kaitlyn and DJ.. and we both said "yea, sure, if ur not busy".. so I was hoping she would call to say she is busy or whatever.. cuz I'm not.. I might do something with Kaitlyn but either way.. it's me and Kait or Kait can come with me and Kathy.. so I am hoping she calls soon.. I am just sitting over here bored so it can help lol

But I am outies.. I wanna go and sit on the couch, watch Will & Grace, or some of it before Dave walks in the door.. Kayla is still sleepin, she is rolling around snoring so .. I am just gonna go sit and wait and I think I hear his truck now.. so talk to ya later

Kicking, elbowing, slapping, butting me..

I got mad.. the last time I went to write in here, I got kicked offline and everything I wrote went away and I was frustrated cuz it was almost everything I wanted to say so I didn't write.. so now hopefully it can get done without getting kicked.. it really sucked

So Friday night I was supposed to hang out with my friend DJ but he called me in the morning on the way to the gym and told me he was going camping so my plans were ruined. On the way to the gym, the whole AVE. was closed.. because there was an accident between a big 18 wheeler pepsi truck and a dump truck so there was lots of mess and they had to clean it. I ended up taking this detour onto Pringle St. and then to Sprague St. and omigosh.. Sprague is the one that has this really rich school.. you can go there for high school but you have to take this test, it's like the SAT's.. and then you have to pay like $10,000 a year, or even more to go and be like really smart.. I could have went there if I wanted to but my high school was free and I knew I had to pay out the kazoo for college so I wasn't doing that to my mom.. I learned more in my high school anyways than those kids learn.. they're dumb lol. Back to my point.. I had to sit there and wait for like 15 minutes so they can all cross the street.. cuz it's different buildings, almost like a campus and the bell must have rang and they were all switchin and they have to cross the street.. a pain in the butt. But I got to the gym about 20 minutes later than anticipated.. worked out.. told a few of the people there to watch out for the ave. and was talking to a few of the elders in there.. they're so nice.. and then I left.. to find out it hasn't been cleaned up yet on the AVE. so I had to take another detour but it didn't take long this time cuz the kids weren't in the middle of switching classes so I didn't have to wait for them to cross this time.. stupid kids. I got home and called my sister Kelly to make sure she was bringing Kayla over so we can play outside.. she can't do anything where she lives outside so Kelly was bringing her scooter over so we can go "rollin'".. as Kayla would call it lol. I took her home and at 930 I had to go to my sister Tammy's house cuz she called before Kayla got there and asked if I can watch her kids so she can go out with this one friend of hers and then meet up with her hubby.. I just had to go that late cuz Stephanie, my niece, just started 6th grade and she was at her first middle school dance.. and Tammy had to go pick her up and everything.. so that was okay. The whole night we were just talking, dancing, singing, going online, playing video games, laughin, joking.. I feel like such a kid when I am with them.. Steph's one friend Jenn was there and she's in 8th grade.. then Steph is 11, Nicole is 8 and Ashley is 4.. so it's like a 19 year old there with them.. I can't act all sorts of mature, I have to have fun with them and stuff.. so I did that. I came home the next day and brought Steph back with me.. she spent the night at my house Saturday night. We didn't do much. We finished the big puzzle FINALLY, glued it all, and it's ready to be framed. It wasn't that bad. It was a fun night. We dropped her off at the football field at 1.. she is on the "B" team cheerleading thing for the mini football and she had to cheer for the boys.. so we had to get her there on time and whatever. We watched some of the game and Kelly and Kayla came.. sitting there.. went home. I picked up my friend Krystal. We went to the mall, did our thing, went to Wal-Mart.. did our thing there.. then Steph calls and says Nicole wants to spend the night over.. so that was cool. I went up Tammy's and picked the two munchkin's up and they came over. Kayla and Kelly were at my house when I got there.. we all went for a walk.. I took Krystal home and me, Steph, and Nicole hung out here last night. I did Steph's homepage for her, she liked the way mine looked. Nicole played my Disney video game thing I got.. she went to bed around 1030.. Stephanie fell asleep at like 11.. and I got off of the phone with me around 11:45, he called at 10.. and I went to bed after that.. I figured that the past two nights I got NO SLEEP at all.. at my sister's house it was so hot and the cool room I had to sleep on a tiny little Love Seat thing.. it was smaller than normal ones, I was uncomfortable. Stephanie spent the night Sat. night and she slept on the bed with me.. she was kicking me, elbowing me, slapping me, butting me, every freakin' 5 minutes.. it was the most annoying thing.. I was up screaming at her.. telling her to get off of me, move over, STOP.. and she would and 5 minutes later she was back.. so I got no sleep then. Last night she slept on the floor and Nicole slept on the bed in the back room and I got lots of sleep. I actually slept until 11:30 this morning.. only to cook lol

My mom wanted me to help out.. today is Labor Day and we were having this lil' cookout thing at the house. My Uncle Junior was supposed to come but anyways, that's next. I made the deviled eggs. I peeled the eggs, cut them, squashed the yolk, mixed the stuff, stuffed them in the eggs, and put them in the fridge while Steph and my mom went to the hospital to see Dot. She is back in there cuz the fluid in her lung.. it's causing her pain.. she had to go get that big needle to get it out.. it's called "tapping".. so she's back in there just for that.. me and Nicole made the eggs and went for a bike-ride. I got home, put the ribs in the oven and Steve, Tammy, and Ashley showed up. At 2 something Kelly and Kayla came while I was on a walk with Ashley and Nicole. Kayla and Ashley then went on a walk with me after we ate. It was a nice day with the family. Rhonda and Joe didn't come tho.. I duhno why tho, hmmm. I hung out with Kaitlyn and DJ after that.. they have school in the morning tho so they wanted to be home by 10.. we drove around, it was such a nice day for just sitting in a car with the windows down, my sunroof open, the music up, talking, laughin, joking.. it was fun.. DJ wanted food so we stopped at Wendy's for him.. and then I drove around more.. it was a fun night.

I walked in the door, straightened up my room from the kids, came on here, got my pj's on.. now I just relaxin'.. gotsta wake up for the gym.. they were closed today so I couldn't go.. So I am off.. don't think I have much to blab about today.. no ramblin thoughts.. didn't think about much today or don't have much to think about right now.. so I am off to call Manny at 11.. and then hit the sheets.. two nights in a row I can hopefully get lots of real good sleep.. cuz after tonight I will be getting to bed at like 2 and waking up early for the gym.. so I am enjoyin' it

Just Alot Of Ramblin Thoughts


Hey All

Well today has truly been a boring day.. kinda. Anyways.. I woke up again this morning and was outta here by 10 for the gym. I weighed myself, did some leg things (quads, hams, inner).. no calves today cuz they get sore too quick so I try to do that every other lower body day.. cuz let's say Monday I do lower body.. I'll do calves which means the next lower body day is Wed., but I won't do the calves again until Friday cuz they need more rest than the rest of the body does.. I do alot of walking and when they're sore, I hate it lol.. so I did that, and then sweated my body off on the treadmill.. went to do my stomach exercises and went on the elliptical for 15 minutes before I got all sorts of gross before I left and hopped in my car to come home.

I got home and King's called.. it was the lady from Act 101.. and she was wondering why there was no schedule by my name so I had to explain to her what was going on.. I think I said it in here, my mom told King's College that I moved to New York City and whatever so I had to tell her that.. telling her things, she was asking me every question imaginable so I had to give my BS answers.. I felt bad but I didn't want to tell her the truth that I was going to tell the people on the phone and have someone else tell her that they heard I moved to the city.. so whatever.. but I will be getting back to school soon..

I don't want to turn into a bum lol. I mean, no offense to those who quit school cuz most of them actually become successful. But, I liked the college experience. I liked meeting new people. I liked the interaction with the professors. It was much different than high school. There was actually some challenge for me in college unlike some college students who say that their college life is a breeze and so easy and crap. I wish it could be like that.. but if it was like that for everyone, everyone would be attending college. But I know that me taking some time off I will do alot of thinking, I have already started. I know that I will be going back to school. What school? I don't know yet. But, I know that college will be part of my life again, definately before the next summer comes. I do not think I will take a full year off of school. I am hoping to have my mind made up real real real real real soon so I don't have to get a job yet. I want to wake up in the mornings and focus on the gym and then shower, babysit for my sister for awhile until my mind is made up about school.. and then if things go the way I am hoping.. I will be attending Allied Medical and Technical Careers.. at the Forty Fort Campus.. and go there for something more along the lines of what I am looking for, and attend night classes from 6-9 which means I will have to stop babysitting.. and I do that for my sister and because I love my little niece Kayla to death.. and I wanna do that for as long as I could. And ya know what, I hated my major at King's. I always thought about Psychology because people tell me I am such a good listener and I can really help people out.. so I gave it thought but back then in school I was more business.. so I took up business administration thinking it was something else and I hated it.. it was management, marketing, finance, accounting, international business, economics.. EVERYTHING.. and I don't like those parts.. sophomore year was the management and marketing.. but it's like I feel I wasted my full first year because I didn't learn anything lol. So it is better for me to either go to a different business school and learn what I actually want to learn or attend Allied for something like that.. so that is where I am headed.. and I just gave a bunch of rambling about stuff no one else is interested in.. but it felt good to write down.. :)

So then I spent the rest of my night either on the cell phone or doing this darn puzzle. I bought this 1000 piece puzzle for the house, to put together with my mom, to frame and hang on the wall, cuz it's really nice. It's a tribute to 9-11. It has a fireman sitting in the middle with his head in his hands.. in his uniform, holding his hat.. with two angels next to him with the hugest wings.. and they're crying. It's called "The Day The Angels Cried" so it's really pretty and really nice. So I thought, "that is something my mom would love" and then now that I got it and me, my mom, and manny got so much put together, I really want to get the whole thing done already so I got alot done today and there's only the wings left now on the puzzle.. I did good :) And when not on that puzzle (I really only did it tonight, from like 7-9).. I was on the phone. I was talking to DJ, Krystal, Sheamus, Kaitlyn.. it was a fun day at home.. but of course I had to watch my soaps from 1-4.. sounds like "wow, that girl is so boring, she sits at home and watches tv for 3 hrs," but they're the soaps and they get more interesting.. but don't worry.. it's the only time of the day I am sitting.. surprisingly, tonight is the first night in a LONG time that I haven't gone out.. so :-P

But I am just sitting online right now. Krystal signed online.. I haven't been online in a real long time. I usually come online to check my mail and write in my blog thing and if somene signs online I talk for a few minutes.. but that's it.. I haven't been online in forever to actually sit down and have a normal conversation with people like I used to. It's been too busy of a summer to sit down and use a computer.

To another subject..

I am losing my weight :) For all who care, my weight loss thing is going great. The scale actually says I weigh 3 lbs. more than two days ago but that's cuz I am alittle on the bloaded side :-\ But besides that, it is going good. My godmother's sister Pat came in from Jersey to take care of her sister Dot.. cuz my godmother Dot just had heart surgery. Well, I haven't seen Pat in a good 3 weeks-1 month, might be alittle longer but not that much longer and I was walking across the street in front of her.. I was getting out of my car and she was standing on Dot's front porch and she asked me a question if my mom had something she can use and she was following me over, about a good 20 ft. behind me, and I walked in, told my mom that Pat was coming over for whatever, and she walked in and said "what u doin to urself, u got much tinier" so it felt nice to hear. I see myself everyday so it's hard to notice it on me.. but my clothes have been telling me that I am losing weight cuz I actually need a different size in jeans now.. but I am not going to buy them until I literally can't wear them anymore.. I haven't lost like ALOT of pounds off of my body but I lost like 2-3 inches off my waist and stuff.. so it's been fantastic.. the gym in the mornings, the yo-yo dieting LOL.. it's been hard to diet cuz I will do good and then my friends wanna go out to eat and it's hard for me to resist.. I am a person who is in a family of thick girls and we like our food.. we are all built the same way (not fat, just overweight.. there's a difference).. and to try to resist a burger and fries.. or a salad with loads of honey mustard dressing is hard for me. I don't eat alot at all but what I eat I guess is bad. I don't like to munch on chips but I hate eating yogurt and cottage cheese all the time. So I found myself a diet that works for me and I am sticking to it. Weight Watchers baby. Eat whatever you want but count up the points.. I did stop that tho and just stuck to this thing I read in a book where you balance ur carbs and protein.. instead of wiping out carbs. Wiping them out (atkin's, south beach, the zone) gets rid of pounds good but in the end hurts alot so I like to keep my carbs, I just cut them down and only eat 1 a day.. and it's good for me, been working.. I mean, I did lose 2-3 inches off my waist so must be pretty good :)

Don't know what else to blab about that I haven't done in awhile..

Me and Manny are doin real good.. everyone should know that or new readers should assume that by reading about the wonderful 9 days we spent together and the wonderul 11 days we will spend together coming up. When we were in high school, we only got every other weekend together. When he was in school, he wouldn't hang out much with his friends when we started going out.. he'd go to school, baseball practice, go home, shower, eat, call me, go to bed. So he spent one weekend with his friends, hanging out, and one weekend with me here in PA or I would go to NYC. So in the summer, we used to spend a week together, he would spend a week with his friends, and another week together would come after that. He would go home Sat. nights cuz he had games on Sundays only. But this year, he is on a new team that he had something everyday with baseball so I was in the city lots and lots this summer. But his baseball season is winding down and with him moving down here before this year ends.. we both don't have school to attend yet so with baseball winding.. we will get our week with friends, week with me, week with friends.. so it'll be nice, and then he'll be here, with me.. his idea. He was planning on applying here but by the time I got him the applications to save him some work and he stopped lolly-gagging to actually fill them out, it was already April and too late.. so he applied to schools in NYC and he got accepted and decided he didn't wanna go there, he wanted to be here with me, so he will be attending school here. He'll live here, join the gym with me, he'll get a job, I'll babysit.. and then we'll attend school when we both think about what we're doing.. at least we get to go thru it together :)

But I am out.. I blabbed for a nice long time.. I am ready to post and preview it so I can see my new Maroon 5 skin I am absolutely in love with

Later

<3


My New Maroon 5 Skin :-D

hey.. just added this skin today, it's so cute. I am a big fan of Maroon 5 and just missed out awhile back on a huge chance to go see them.. I don't like going to concerts by myself and my friends wouldn't go and my boyfriend isn't into the music so I was not going to ask him. He would have went with me but it would have been fun cuz he was with me but kind of boring at the same time, ya know? He likes a few songs by them but they were with John Mayer and he doesn't like John like I do so oh well.. life goes on.. but the skin is adorabley cute and I am excited about it. So posting my entry in here now while I am in here changing it instead of waiting until later.

I woke up early this morning. It was back the gym :) It was new to me again tho lol. I haven't been at the gym in almost a full week so my body felt wierd but I worked out lots. I did my elliptical machine and sweated bullets, it was crazy. I got off of there, took a 2-3 minute breather and hit those machines. I was in the back doing my sit-ups/crunches.. and then I did upper body today. I was in the mood for benching and curling and stuff. I was there with weights for a good hour, plus the half hour running and junk. I worked out good.. I stepped on the scale and lots 2 pounds of sweat lol.. I sweated it all off of me.

So I came home and my period came. It was the worst. I was home for awhile, thought I just had a belly ache but nothing was going on so I was like "ooh no, cramp time." Sure enough, I was on the money. I took a shower, did my thing, got ready.. me and my mom had to drop off my Uncle Junior's car off atMotorWorld cuz his tranny is going in his new Buick.. so that was that.. and then I went to Dot's house.. Aunt Reenie made her wonderful meatloaf with noodles.. there was a salad, cauliflour thing with cheese she made, mild wings, soda, water, it was fun. My godmother just got out of surgery two weeks ago and alot of people have been visiting her. It was her son's birthday and his 5 year. anniv. with his wife so they had it at Dot's house so everyone can celebrate and see how she was doing.. she looks very good for just having heart surgery 13 days ago. GO DOT!!

Me and Kaitlyn went to the mall for 8.. it was so bad but yet so fun. First we went into Gadzook's cuz Kaitlyn had a shirt to return but wanted me to do it. I was talking with the girl and she said the shirt looked worn and because of that, she couldn't take the shirt back without the tags, even tho she had the receipt. So, that made me bad. They take back things in EVERY OTHER store without tags if you have the receipt but it looked worn to her.. so whatever. I went into Victoria's Secret to get my bras and then found out I am bigger than what I thought and my bras have been too small. Ugh. I always thought I was a 36C and here I am a D.. and the lady who measured me asked me what I thought and I said a 36C and she said "let me measure u honey, I think ur a cup bigger" and of course I was wrong lol. So I got my two bras and then Kaitlyn's mom called and I told her the story about the lady in Gadzook's right before I was trying the new sizes on and she went and she called the lady and the lady said "okay fine tell them to come back in and we'll return it".. she actually called and yelled at her so we went back in the store where she was giving us trouble cuz the receipt had things written on it. Apparently, Kaitlyn took that receipt when she was returning a tanktop and they wouldn't return the tanktop cuz she took the wrong receipt and who ever was working there wrote on that receipt and the lady was mad.. she was jerky, but eventually Kaitlyn got her $17 back for the shirt and went into Hot Topic and got her shirt she wanted from the beginning and whatnot. Then I went into the Express and got my tanktops, the bra ones, I live by them. I got 4 cuz they were on sale, 2/$20.. so that was that. I also got two shirts, they were on sale, 2/$29.50.. I had that merchandise credit card thing cuz I went to return 3 pairs of pants my mom got me.. dress pants.. but I found better ones at The Limited.. and I didn't have the receipt but the tags were on.. and they gave me a merchandise credit of $214.. so I have to spent it.. I don't wear much of their clothes anymore cuz their sizes changed.. and they're getting more dressy.. and until I am out of college, I don't have to get THAT dolled up.. so yea..

Got home, found the skin.. now I am here.. gonna go finish talking to people online and then go call Manny at midnight.. see y'all

Big Apology For The Big Gap..


... I must apologize for not updating in forever.. feels like that anyways.. almost like I forgot that I made this but it just came to me and I thought "hey, why not update tonight while you actually got some time?"

Yes.. got some time.. so now here I am..

My boyfriend Manny came in on Monday the 23rd after a surprise kind of thing. See, I was supposed to go to NYC on Thursday and come home yesterday.. spend a few days together. But that night on the phone (the 22nd), he kept asking me to come in one day earlier cuz he didn't wanna wait much longer so I gave in and said okay. Well then I suggested "hey, you have a ticket at your house, why don't you come in and I will go back with you?" So then he said he would come in on Monday and I would go back with him Wed. night or Thurs. night or something but he ended up staying here from that Monday up until today so it was a wonderful 8 nights, 9 days.. excellent time spent together.

The whole time was great. We always seem to have fun together even when we're just sitting around doing nothing. The first night.. me, dj, kaitlyn, and manny went to Friendly's to eat where this really wierd lady kept talking to me and telling me she knew me and my family and she was real wierd. Another night we hung out with just Dj, went out to The Olive Garden and then drove around, went to Wal-Mart.. had a real good time. One day my friend Sheamus came by to visit to my house and we all sat and talked until he had to leave to meet someone at his house. Every other night we just did our own thing. Every night from like 11-on.. we just laid around, vegged, wrestled (play-fighting of course), cuddled, watched movies, blagh blagh blagh. During the day we worked on this one puzzle.. a few days I had my niece Kayla here cuz I had to babysit and I wasn't going to leave him at my house while I went to my sister's so my sister brought her there. I went to the gym in the mornings and did my thing while he slept. Two days me, my mom, and manny went out to eat to Denny's, they have yummy breakfast served all day long.. it's what they're known for. We drove around and looked at cars since we are car fanatics.. and went to Dick's and looking at little Pocket Rockets (mini motorcycles, like electric scooters).. they're fun and we are dorks and like stuff like that.. acting like little kids. We washed my car outside and did everything together. We were together for every moment of every day.. it was wonderful.

So that is it.. before he came in I didn't update and I spent that time with my friends DJ and Kaitlyn mostly.. but anywho..

off to go finish watching What A Girl Wants.. it's cute and it's a chick flick..

Wonderful Weekend


Well as I stated last time, I wouldn't be writing in this for awhile all because I had that busy weekend coming up and it went very well.

I woke up at 9 and went to the gym and got home, showered, did my thing and picked my boyfriend Manny up at the bus station with his friend Mario and his girlfriend Evelyn. (for all new readers, Manny is my boyfriend and I live in PA and he lives in NYC - together for almost 3 yrs, long distance relationship, transportation is the Martz bus, met online.. good rundown lol).

Friday night we all went out bowling. That was a fun night. We all truly SUCK! lol. Me and Manny did well on one game each.. Mario and Evelyn did good for them I guess lol but it was such a fun night.. 3 games.. good time. I went to Wal-Mart SuperCenter with them and they got their ice cream and whatnot, cameras for Sunday's trip.. good times.

Saturday was my niece's birthday party. She turned 4 on August 9th and they had her party the weekend after. We all went up to my sister's house and swam in the pool then in the hot tub.. ate.. came home and my mom had KFC. We ate there, watched Big Daddy and we all took a nap. We woke up and that was that. In bed semi-early cuz we all had to wake up at 6:15AM the next morning.

Woke up, got ready, packed our things and off to Dorney Park we went. I drove there for the first time and it really was fun. We rode almost every rollercoaster we wanted to except for Laser. We got on the big WaterSlide and ThunderCanyon inside the regular park. We all got in our bathinsuits and went into WildWater Kingdom. That was fun.. all the slides and the wave pool, it was real fun. We made it a good day, I got really red and burnt, mostly on my face.. alittle on my arms but mainly the face.. got there for 10AM and left at 8PM.. yes.. we were there that long so u can imagine how many rides we rode and how much our feetsies hurt lol.

Today is the day they were all leaving. I tried to get them to stay longer but Mario had work in the morning.. he took off 3-4 days for the trip so he had to go back. If it was just Manny coming in like it always is, he probably would have stayed another day and missed a practice or a baseball game or whatever but he had to go back with them since it was a 3-person ticket.. cheaper that way instead of buying all separate tickets. Today we woke up late, so tired from the park yesterday, and we had chinese food for breakfast lol. They wanted to go to the Chinese Buffet and stuff, good food.. came home, Kayla came over since today is a babysitting day. I dropped them off at the bus station for the 6:05 bus and then went home, got Kayla.. me and my mom took her home, and went to my sister Rhonda's house cuz she got a new puppy :) it's the cutest thing I have ever seen. It's an 8 week old Beagle pup, female, name is Snoopy. It's an ankle biter tho, that thing wouldn't stop biting my ankles or toes and I picked it up and it was biting my fingers, it's the cutest. Just they working on the house-broken thing so it won't pee in the house anymore.. but luckily they have it gated in the kitchen which is lenolium flooring or tiling or something so it's real easy to wipe up.. and it's a big kitchen so he has plenty of room to roam.. good with their baby and their cats so that's always a plus.

But ya kno, people are talking to me online and I am telling them how tired I am from the trip to Dorney Park yesterday.. it was that long of walking and riding and 2-3 hours of the water park and ya know how swimming for long periods of time makes people real tired.. and the sleep last night just wasn't enough.. so I am off to bed real early. I even told all my friends tonight when they called that I wasn't going out tonight at all because I am just way too exhausted lol.. so in for the night (not that normal for me) and out tomorrow night.. catch ya then
