american idol anyone?

ok. so am i the only one who is sick of kristy lee cook? seriously, come on, three weeks in a row she has been in the bottom three and we can't seem to get rid of her!!! amanda, i have to admit was not my favorite. but she was leaps ans bounds better than kristy lee!! i wanted to crawl in a hole when she did eight days a week!! now, as most of you know (and i think there is a grand total of 3 people reading this blog) i am a huge HUGE country music fan.. and if i didn't like the COUNTRY GIRL... it's bad. but on a lighter note..

My Favorites
1. David Cook - something about his rocker voice. i dunno, he seems genuine to me.
2. Brooke White - she looks like Taylor Swift but sounds about 10 x better to me.
3. Jason Castro - you gonna root for the boy from texas. i just wish he would cut his har.
and 4. carly smithson - not crazy about the tattoos but she has an amazing voice. SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM THREE!

we gotta vote people!

well that was no fun

so... last night.. as i was working out, i get a text from my step mom. it says "tornado warning come home now!" so, of course i followed instructions. when i got home, there was heavy rain but not much more than that... but it got worse. a friend texted me and told me a tornado had touched down in cooper.. i live about 20 minutes from cooper on the southwest side of town (i say town, but i live in the country) my dad, well he is a sissy when it comes to storms... so we got THE ENTIRE FAMILY (including the dog) in the storm cellar for about 30 minutes. the wind finally started to calm down... but that is the part that scares me... i guess i have watched twister one too many times and i realize the calm is when the storm really hits.. but THANK GOODNESS i had cell phone service in the storm cellar.. (THANKS SPRINT!) so i called a friend and asked where it was and i was told it was more east now and it was safe! so.. that was my monday night. in a storm cellar.. with 4 other people.. and one stinky LOUD BARKiNG DOG. :)

There is Snow in NE Texas Ya'll

Yes, it is 1:30 in the afternoon and there is still snow on the ground at the office. No pictures on my ancient excuse for a computer at work. But it was so pretty!! :) Last night, as I was asleep by 8:30, because I am a hibernating bear, the kids busted into my room like it was Christmas morning... "BRITTNEY! WAKE UP! It is SNOWWWWING!" So i put my boots on and trek outside to see the kids playing with the dog in the snow, and folks i gotta tell you, I think the dog was more excited than the kids. After we wrangled them into the house and into bed, Angela came and got me to go watch the dog. Our dog has to be the only basset hound with ADD alive, I swear. This dog was ripping and tearing though the snow and bouncing around. I cried I was laughing so hard. (Ok now that I read that back I realize this was one of those had to be there moments, sorry for that!) But yea, we got snow IN MARCH in NORTH EAST TEXAS. Who would have thunk it>>

how i love sonic dr pepper.

today, was the 2nd day in a row i have been to sonic during happy hour for a large dr pepper. there is something about a fountain dr pepper that is better than the bottle or can. maybe the special sonic ice. i dunno. anywho, this makes me happy. :) update, i am not going to my real estate class this weekend, i called yesterday to register, but the class did not make, so it is off next weekend to do that... at a different location might i add. i have my first statistics test on tuesday! EEK! we did have a review today, a FULL REVIEW. i am sure jenny and i will be up for a few good hours memorizing what "muh" or "moo" is and the standard variaion and correlation variance or chebby chev's rule (no now "the twist" guy!). but anywho, i came into the house the other night after bootcamp and my little sister was drying a dish, this is very odd for my four-year old sister! but she was just smiling at me, and the first thing that comes to my mind is "what did she do?" but no. that sweet little girl decided to get her ears pierced and SHE DID! she was so excited. they are little pink flowers and she did not cry (better than i did at SEVEN!). this child has started a trend in her pre-school class.. another girl got hers done the very next day with the same earrings as kaci. haha.. amazing how these little girls look up to one another. but i am gonna be off to bootcamp in a few. ta ta for now!

Hello World.

So, it seems that I will post one blog and then I will forget about it for a few weeks. Woops. HA. So here I am after my abscence of a few day... weeks, whatever. We have been in school... what two, three weeks now. I am already tired of it. Well considering I am only going two days a week for two classes it is REALLY not that bad. This weekend I will make my first trip to the big city for my real estate classes. I took two of my classes through corespondence and for the final three I really wanted a classroom setting so this weekend will be a day and a half trip. Alone. SCARY! But I need to do it, and I know the entire month of Feb I will be panicked but I know it will pay off, somehow. Anywho, Boot camp today. I am really enjoying this class. Tuesdays are my favorite because it is kickboxing day! Tuesday is also my favorite because we do not run on Tuesdays. :):) Ok, so I better get back to work blog world.

All About Nothing

Well, in my spare fifteen minutes before 5:00 I thought I might post a little something. About what I don't know but I am sure if I ramble on for a few mintes I will get to some topic. Well, school starts next week. There's a topic. I feel like this Christmas break has FLOWN by!! WHY?!? I hardley got to spend time with Kristin. :( Well, considering the situation it is alright but I hope I get to see her before she goes back to Arkansas. I really thought this month would creep along. I don't want to drive 30 minutes and back to school. blah. Well atleast Jenny is in two of my classes. Oh, Kaci (you know Kaci) turns 5 tomorrow. FIVE. I remember she was a baby when we moved to Paris. Where did the time go??? We are having her party at a Pretty Princess Room - which is exactly what is in its name. It's a room. In a clothing store. Painted pink. With GLITTER. And a castle on the wall. Any 5 year old girls dream. I am sure there will be hillarious pictures so I will be sure to post those next week after her party on Saturday. Wow, seven more minutes. Hmmm. Well. What's next? OH, I have been addicted to the Food Network website! I look up these really tasty recipes, like I will ever cook them. They are mostly from Paula Dean cause let's face it, as much as I love Rachel Ray, cumin and coreander and endive aren't coming anywhere near my kitchen. I like to look up things that I might actually cook one day.. yes ONE DAY. I do love to cook but it's hard to when you still live at home and there is someone conveniently there to do that for you. THANKS DAD! I like simple things that have amazing flavor. The thing I looked up today was Baked Macaroni and Cheese. YUMM. BUT considering I have started this new bootcamp fitness thing, it doesn't look like too much macaroni or any pasta will be my friend. (but if you won't tell, I won't tell ;) ) So anywho, I guess that's all I have to say about that.

Happy 2008

Since I have not blogged in QUITE some time, and I got a link to my blog.. thought I might give it some fresh-ness since November? December? Anyway, the new year is here. (look at that it rhymed!) I am not making a resolution this year. Actually, now that I think about it, I never have. Woops. I don't think making a rule for myself that I will not follow and then feel guilty about not following it is very bright. So ANYWHO, my 2008 GOALS are not too complicated. But are things I think are important in this point in my life:

1. To become a better WOman of God.
-- Read my Bible and Devotianal and talk to those (Kristin) that I know can help me with questions and I am pretty sure if she cannot help me she has got someone who can. :)
2. To be healthier.
-- I do not want to make the "diet" resolution cause I know I will never follow that. I watched The Biggest Loser Marathon and if a man can lose 200 pounds in a year... I can drink less dr pepper and run every now and again.
3. To be a better student.
-- I was a straight A student in high school. But that changed.. DRASTICALLY. Yes, college is harder but I can do better. READ BOOKS for real. My goodness.
4. To make sure I am happy.
-- I spent a lot of 2007 worrying about what other people. Some of them family and some of them friends. I lost one of my best friends(as in we are not friends anymore) and I was so hurt when it happened but now that it is over I am not worried anymore. I realized she was a burden on me. Why would I want a friend to walk all over me. I have found comfort in a few old friends from grade/middle school that are amazing. I know these people will help me in deciding what may be the best for me. I am not trying to be selfish but to make sure I do not put something so important to someone else in front of what I believe is right. I will not let someone walk over what I believe.

So there you have it. My little list. :)

Have a happy 2008!!!
