Yep.... He Won

I did not intend to this involved in politics. But right now I'm not happy. I voted so I can be mad. I have accepted it. I just hope now that he can come through with the promises that are quite significant. We'll see how the next four years go.

In other politics, our state rep. stayed the same, which I'm very excited about. I really don't want to mention names but I wanted him to win, and he did.

That is all.
HA.

Say what?

I meant to write about this the day I did it, but I've been busy with watching The Biggest Loser and what not. I voted in my FIRST Presidential election last week. I early vote because the genius that made up our voting districts decides to send me across a major highway 15 miles from my house, when there is two, 2, TWO! places to vote not three miles from my house, ON THE SAME ROAD! Anyways, so a friend of mine and I early voted. I am 21 years old, and this was my first major election to vote in! It was quite exciting. I voted the day early voting started. I watched the debates, and countless stories on Fox news, and I hope this is going to be a tighter election than what they are predicting. I had a very nice conversation with the lady in front of me in line, she had to be at least 75 and she said she was so glad to see "you young people" out voting. She said she had voted in most elections since she was able to vote. So, I guess my message is GO VOTE! Age does not matter, if you are registered VOTE. Don't complain about who gets elected if you do not. This is one of the most dramatic presidential elections because of what our country has been through in the past few years. It's a very simple thing that can persuade your future more than you think.

back... in black.

so, a friend of mine who actually got me started on this blogging business... well we both had stopped blogging for quite some time because we both have had very very very busy schedules. well.. i saw that she was back, and was once again inspired to blog... again. :) so here we go...

i feel like i can't get enough sleep. most of my nights (and some days) are filled with school, work and studying. I hate it. However, after this semester (and we can only hope that i pass everything), I will only have 21 more hours until I graduate. And most of those classes will be minor courses. (YEA!) So, I will not graudate in may because 21 hours is just too much, It will be next december, but that means I will be a college graduate in a year, and who is not thrilled with that kind of news!! This semester is quite tough. Monday's I work, then leave early to make it to my night class at 6 which is International Business. I have 2 great friends that have an apartment in where I go to school, and agreed to let me stay with them on monday nights so i do not have to drive back to home when i have class the next morning. Tuesdays and Thursdays are 9:30 - MIS (a computer class, i hate excel and access) 11:00 - Intro to Finance (i took the hard finance first, and passed, go me) 12:30 - Economic Forecasting... ... ... which is as exciting as it sounds. it's a very tough glass with a foreign teacher... but things are going ok so far. And then on thursday nights I have Operations Management. and somewhere in between all that I work 3 1/2 days a week, and find time to study. I'm ready to be a grown up.

What's In Your Car?!?

So, when I saw this post over at Rocks In My Dryer, I thought it was perfect for me (considering I live out of my car). This is where I would insert a nice link to RIMD, but I am not that tech savy. Ok so here's the deal, I drive a Chevy Trailblazer XL, yes, the REALLY long one. And I have no kids. It's just me. In this HUGE car. You can imagine how dirty it is. Anywho... this is what I have found in my car:

• 2 sacks of Christmas ornamnets
• 13 pair of shoes
• 1000 piece puzzle
• 4 water bottles
• cup
• straw wrappers
• yoga matt
• 2 shirts
• keys
• 2 umbrellas
• 1 box 100 calorie ritz crackers
• dr pepper bottle
• un opened dr pepper can
• loose french fries
• 1 mini igloo cooler
• pair of jeans
• cleats
• softball glove
• 2 softball bats
• school books
• granolla bar wrapper
• 2 bottle of tanning lotion (i haven't tanned in a month)
• 2 draws from my little sister
• card board box
• AA battery charger
• AND an empty arbys sack from lunch ON MONDAY

so that is my filthy car. :) maybe i should go clean it out considering I may be trading vehicles in the next few weeks.

a few things

So. I will start off with this stuff from earlier last week and work up to today. I finally got my laptop at work and I am going to share a few pictures.

:)

Sorry, this pictures is terrible but the story is amazing. The boy in the cammo is Tanner. He is in the 3rd grade at the same elementary school as my little brother. The two other boys are his brothers and his mom is also pictured. The reason I am sharing this is because I was touched so much by this story. Almost exactly a year ago Tanner was diagnosed with cancer. He went through rigorous chemo therapy and still takes a treatment once a month. Tanner was a candidate for the make a wish foundation and last weekend he, and 49 other children from each state in the US and their immediate families, got their wish. The WWE (wrestling) sponsored 50 children from the US who wished to come to Wrestle Mania as their wish. These kids got an entire press conference to themselves and the stars from Wrestle Mania. They also met many other celebrities.. including Snoop Dog and Raven from That's So Raven!. These 50 kids, for just one day, didn't have to worry about their sickness. This was their day to get exactly what they wanted. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.

The Make a Wish foundation is a wonderful program for kids with terminal illnesses and their families. This was the first time I got to experience a wish first hand. And it was amazing.

Ok. Onward.

Today, at my 5-year-old sister's day care, they had a circus. Full of acrobats, animals, and strong men. TOO CUTE. This is Kaci. She was an acrobat... and behind her his her friend pushing her to hurry up cause she was holding up the Grand Entrance stopping to smile for pictures. :)

And this. Well, this is pretty funny. This is me. With my little sister. And her boyfriend. SHE IS FIVE. I am twenty. Something is wrong here.

Ok, and this. This is just for spite of her having a boyfriend and I don't.
