Home Sick

For some reason today has been really bad. I just don't feel the need to do anything but go home. I miss my family and my puppy Coco. I have watched some movies and taken 2 test for school but nothing is getting me in a better mood. I just want summer to be here, but for now I need to stick it out.

My Sister

My sister is someone who I love but dislike at times. Many people can not believe we are related. My sister and I have completely different tastes and likes. I am sporty, outgoing, and down to earth. My sister is more into shopping, shy, and always wanting to party. She is my mom's baby and I am my dad's baby. She usually gets what she wants due to her forceful drive. Although we are very different we are still very alike. We both have very goofy personalities. When we aren't fighting, we are laughing. She is beautiful inside and out, and is a very sweet girl, but once you get to know her you will know she is a firecracker! She loves Anthony just as much as I do. She has always wanted an older brother so that's the way she treats him. Anthony is a good sport about it, usually just laughing in her face :).

I wish we would spend some more time together and would talk more, but I think she is going through the whole "I am too cool for my family stage". I believe she will come around someday, well at least I hope so. I love my sister with all my heart, no matter how mad she makes me.

Swamp Donkey

An interesting word that I came upon, thanks to Anthony of course, is swamp donkey. Apparently it actually exist. Anthony got into a little word fight while playing hockey a couple of months ago. There was this kid that was making fun of him, telling him he looked old. So Anthony, being his creative self, called him a swamp donkey. Now, where in the world would you think of a word like that! Some how it came up in our conversation yesterday and he told me that he looked it up on urbandictionary.com (one of the funniest websites for looking up words) and gave me the definition.


Swamp Donkey:

1. This species lurks in the depths of the bar and club scene . Tell tale signs of a swamp donkey are many and varied, including the wearing of Granny underwear, tight shirts exposing their fat disgusting sloth bodies, and a face that looks like a rotten bee's nest.


2. A female with no attractive features whatsoever. (Not even personality, charm, nice shirt, etc..)



I guess Anthony had the right idea. He was trying to be mean, and personally I think he did it.

St. E's Girl

I will be a St. Elizabeth of Hungry girl for the rest of my life. No matter who comes into my life, my grade school friends are the ones that I know will be in my life forever. It's weird because we are more of a family than friends. We may not talk everyday and see each other all the time, but when we do it is a night full of laughter and tears. We have all grown up and have very different personalities, but these personalities complete each other and form one of the most amazing groups ever. We always joke around saying how immature we get when we see each other. I think that is why we all love seeing each other though, because seeing these people creates an escape. We get away from all our worries. We know everything about each other, some times not by choice. I love that I went to catholic grade school. It has given me friendships that no one can even imagine.

Amanda, Alyson, Caitlin S, Eleni, Gina, Jake, Sam, Sarah, Tom K, Tony M, Tony N

I thank these people for making me who I am, and making me realize what true friendship actually is.

bla

Today is just a really bla day. I did help Amanda and Jami organize and clean their room, as well as organize our bathroom, but that's about all I have done. There is just enough snow on the ground to make a mess. I guess that's why I don't feel like doing much, because there isn't enough to go out and "play" in. It's funny how snow just makes you turn right back into a kid. I had to walk to class in slop, as I would call it. Cars just ruin snow. Everyone seems to be getting some excitement today, but not me. I guess you could say that being all caught up on all my work is excitement, or the fact that I have read a lot of my book today. Oh well, not everyone can get what they want. I will take this lack of excitement because hopefully something big will happen to make up for it!

St. Valentine

How did I get so lucky. Valentine's Day came a little early for Anthony and I. This is our second Valentine's Day. Anthony is the one person who truly makes me happy. He is genuine, compassionate, and wholesome. He is always making sure that my happiness is coming before his, and I have never been so happy. It is hard to be 8 hours away from each other, but I know that we can make this work. I don't think we have ever really fought. We may bicker here and there, but it is all in good and fun. I am very thankful for everything he does for me and my family. Without Anthony I can truly say I would be lost. Here is the necklace that he gave me. It brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you so much for being you Anthony. Happy early Valentine's Day!!!

Would You Rather

Would you rather walk 15 minutes to class when it is 14 degrees out, feeling like 6(Columbia), or walk 5 minutes to class when it is 0 degrees out, feeling like -12(De Pere)?


This is the question that crossed my mind today when I was thinking about what me and Anthony have to do. What do you think you would rather do?



Also a funny little thing that happened today. I was sitting in class today and found out that my water bottle had become somewhat frozen on my walk to class. I thought it was nuts! I took a drink and it was like I was drinking a slush...crazy what the weather can do.

SNOW

The first thing I saw when I got up today was snow! My first feeling was excitement. My second was oh no! I was so excited because I have been waiting for snow. Anthony said that we were going to get snow over break because snow has been following him. It's ironic how once he leaves we get snow. I called him as soon as I saw it and was like "ANTHONY GUESS WHAT! IT"S SNOWING!". The feeling of oh no, was due to the fact that I have to drive back to school today. Gosh I love snow. It's so pretty. I want to be where there are mountains of snow. I would rather have that than a beach. I think it is because of my dad. I have always been a daddy's girl, and he doesn't like the whole beach scene. He rather be somewhere where you can do some site seeing, instead of laying out in the sun. Oh man do I love snow.

Gossip Girl

I have just started to read the Gossip Girl Series. I never read, and everyone in Anthony's family does, so I was obligated to try. I have a hour break in between my class on Thursday and Friday, so I went to the bookstore and bought the first Gossip Girl book. I found out that I really actually enjoyed the book. I couldn't put it down. I read almost 100 pages in one day, which to me is a lot for a person who never reads. I watch the TV show every Monday with my girl friends, Amanda and Jami. We always get so into the show, so I figured I would get into the book. For some reason I had this feeling that I was not reading the first book, a lot of things were going on unexplained. So I checked online and what do you know I am reading the second book!!! I was so disappointed. I was so far into the second book, and it was such a bummer. To my luck though, my sister happen to have the first book. My mom bought it for her hoping that she would start reading it. So I just started reading the first one today and I am off to a great start. I realized that I retain information better if I read 1 or 2 chapters at a time, so I am only 40 pages in. I can't wait to start reading again.

On another note. I miss Anthony.

Busy/Sad Day

Today was a crazy day. Me and Anthony had to get up early because I had to meet my Aunt Kathleen up and State Beauty Supply to get my shampoo, and Anthony being the sweet kid that he is he came with me even though he was dead when he woke up this morning. THANKS BOO BOO :) . I decided to go and torture both me and Anthony, by going to Petsmart. Every Saturday morning there are pets for adoption there. I want to get a puppy so bad, so me being the stubborn one I go, and of course I fall in love. It was a beagle/australian shepherd mix. She was so sweet and I felt like I just connected with her right away. Now here was the hard part, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get her because I am not aloud to get a dog until I come home this summer. It was so hard to just leave her. I felt really bad because Anthony being the sweetheart that he is, wanted to take them all home. Once we got out of the building I started crying...sad I know but I just want a puppy soooo bad. So once I got home of course I begged my mom to just let me get her. The answer was no, I knew it would but some little part of me just thought well maybe today is different, so I got upset AGAIN and had to cheer myself up with a little shopping. I needed to get Anthony's Valentine's Day present together because we won't be able to see each other till his spring break, March 15. So I got that all together (I will blog about that tomorrow). Later I went over to Anthony's to spend some time with him before he had to get on the MegaBus. Today for some reason it was a lot harder to let him go. I thought the second big goodbye would be easier, but it definitely wasn't. Everything was going ok until I got in the car. I knew I was going to start crying because I was getting ready to drive off and instead of putting my car into drive, I put it in reverse! Anthony just started laughing at me, like always :), but once I put that car in drive and took off, I started balling. It's so weird you never realize how hard it is to say bye to someone until you really say goodbye. I am going to miss him more than anything, but I know everything will be ok. I just need to talk to him everyday and here his voice, which always seems to calm me down. All I can say is March 15 better come fast!

First Blog

I think I am going to start with a short blog. Over the past year I have been keeping up with my boyfriend Anthony's mom's and sister Amy's blogs. I would check them everyday just to see what they were up too. I have been meaning to start one of my own so I would have something to share with them, as well as other people, so here we go. MY FIRST BLOG.
