I'm sorry Mr. Kindle...

So I would like to go ahead and apologize to my Kindle for not reading it nightly like I had been. And I would also like to apologize to Sookie and Charlaine Harris for not finishing their book in record time like I usually do! Stupid College.

I really have so much time on my hands since I'm only taking 13 hours that I am constantly doing homework it seems, trying to stay ahead and keep everything neat. I'm so OCD about keeping things neat whether that be binders, notes, etc.

I have a Dentist appointment tomorrow and I'm not too thrilled about that. I don't hate the dentist, but they just sit there and chat-chat-chat away, expecting you to respond, knowing all along that they won't be able to understand you which is perfectly fine with them.

Which makes me think about retainers, which reminds me that I haven't worn them in a couple of nights and I'm disappointed now.

So I've been meaning to blog about this for awhile but keep forgetting! But if I lose 5lbs then I'm going to buy myself a new pair of shoes as a reward:

which I just love TOMS shoes. I think it's just such a good cause. You buy a pair of shoes and they also send a pair of shoes to a child without shoes in another country! Also TOMS One Day Without Shoes is coming up soon! Hopefully it won't rain this year :)

All These Songs About Rain..

So.

Have you ever had one of those days, where you pass a Landmark or hear a Song and it takes you back to some other places full of so much memory. Well I've had one of those days today. And it sucks.

You're riding along minding your own business then BAM! There you go down memory lane. And most of the time when this happens it isn't all Rainbows and Sunshine. NO. It's full of questioning about why you did the things you did.

But a couple of deep breaths and the feelings passes.. until the next time they( memories) decide to visit.

Stay Pretty,

What's Eating Gilbert Grape

So as I was sitting around waiting to go to the gym the other day, I flipped through the channels until I got to MTV, one of my favorite channels, and the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape was on. Let me just say, Johnny Depp is a hotty in this movie! And I swear he's not aged a day!

I also heard rumor that there's another Pirates of The Caribbean movie coming out! But Orlando and Kierra won't be in it :( which is super sad.

Ok..so enough with my nerdyness! This week at school went really fantastic :) I've told myself that I'm not going to miss a single class and so far I haven't! I also had a quiz in Microbiology and I think I got a 100 on it!

Also, I worked out at the gym everyday this week and that is some accomplishment for me because I'm never able to make myself go, but I've actually enjoyed going and being able to work out.

Kaleb and I celebrated our 10 month anniversary the other day <3 It seems like longer because it actually is longer. We hung out 3 months before I would ever date him, now I wish we would have started dating the very first day! At times I feel like I'm rushing our relationship when later on down the road I'll wonder where the time has gone and want some more!

Well we are going to look at a house today, I'm hopefully, but Kaleb says not to jump in because it's the first house we're looking at and usually the first house isn't the house that you get. We have to wait until I'm out of Cookeville which isn't until May, so we're just looking now.

Wish us luck!

Jersey Shore!

Ok, so I will admit, I am addicted to the quite ridiculous show called : Jersey Show. What is it about this not so real reality that really gets everyone going? Well I'm not sure either, but I swear I can't get up or do anything productive when it's on.

Also, another reality show that I love is coming back for a New Season in 2 weeks: My Life As Liz :) I really like this show because it does seem to be more realistic than the Jersey Shore. And Liz is just so darn interesting!

So I have a quiz in Microbiology today and I'm really quite nervous about it. Actually, I'm nervous about anything that is ever graded. Since this will probably be my last semester at Tech, I am shooting for all A's! And am bound and determined that this will happen.

I'm proud to say that I've officially lost 2 pounds :) I've really been going hard at it at the gym this week ( Running a mile and doing 20mins on the Eliptical(sp?) ) so I hope all of that hard work pays off!

I'm hoping things are working themselves out for the better :) Kaleb and I are going to look at a house on Saturday and he's going to talk to someone about some houses on Friday. Don't get me wrong, we won't live together until marrige but that's in the near future and we are just lining things up :)

I have just got done cleaning the entire apt, which when you live in a One Bedroom apt, it takes only 30 mins, but this place suure needed it!

Kaleb is coming up tonight and is going to have supper cooked when I get in from lab and I'm so excited about that! He really is the better cook between the two of us. I'm not too good on flavoring and he's been taught, very well, how to cook, especially all that Southern stuff :) Yum! But tonight we having Stuffed Peppers, which I think I've had once before? But I think there's like rice in the middle of the peppers and some sort of cheese somewhere? And we're having Refried beans, oh goodness it just makes me hungry talking about it!

So does anyone else besides me have that one machine that they love at the gym and would just about push someone off to get on it? That's how I am with one of the Elipticals here at Tech. It's like the newest one in the whole room and someone is ALWAYS on it! So when it's free, like today, it's almost like Christmas and I get a little tear in my eye..but it doesn't fall. A little extreme? Maybe. But it completes my day :)

Winter Wonderland :)

I have to say that I am so exhausted! I didn't go to sleep until 1 something because I stayed up late reading and that just gets my brain all wired and un-sleepy like! But I'm almost done with Sookie Stackhouse :) and then I'll be starting the 2nd book! I try to read every night before I go to bed, just for a little relaxation time from a stressful day full of school work and blehness.

It snowed last night, and I love snow! Only one of my classes got canceled, Micro, so I still had to go to my other classes. It's like a New Years Resolution of mine to attend every class! You know usually you'll skip one of two classes but not me!

I'm also soooo sore from the gym! I've been running a mile and doing 20mins on the Eliptical(sp?) every day and my legs just aren't used to this! But I know it'll pay off in the long run! I can't wait to weigh on Monday and see if there is any difference :)

So here's my embarassing moment for today: I work with several Mexicans back home at Grecians, and when they ask me how I'm doing instead of saying 'Mui Bien', they've told me to say 'Mui Buena'(sp?) which I thought was actually just the girl version of 'good'. So I say "Mui Buena" to my Spanish teacher this morning and she didn't really say anything. Well I go eat El Tap with my sisters today and a waiter that I know really well (Jose) asks me how I'm doing and I say.. "Mui Buena." Well he gives me this -omgIcan'tBelieveYouJustSaidThat-look. And he said..do you know what you just said? And I said..well I'm doing good. He said no....You said you were very hot. So long story short...do not listen to anyone about translations unless you look it up yourself. So I told my Spanish teacher I was very hot, and the waiter at El Tap..I will kill me some guys when I go to work this weekend. : |

Now I'm oh so sleepy from not sleeping much last night but I have so much to do...maybe a power nap? Something has to be done. Sorry I've been such a boring blogger today, just feeling lazy :)

Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds

So I was sitting here, wondering what it was I was forgetting before I got ready for bed...and all of a sudden it hit me, I hadn't blogged yet :) I almost forgot but almost doesn't count ;)

So today was an eventful and productive day.

I've just returned from my 2.5 hour visit with the library and my Statistics homework that is due at 11pm tonight. CORRECTION: Was due at 11pm, not it isn't due until Thursday. So I did all that hard work and worrying for nothing. And this resulted in my boyfriend falling asleep on me, which makes me cranky >:| because I didn't get to hear him say goodnight which is one of my pet peeves!(ruff).

Also, on my way home there was a strange gentle fellow walking around in an empty parking lot with a trench coat on. He waved, so I waved back and smiled. I tell you right now. When something like that happens to you, don't you snub the lone stranger in black, because next thing you know You'll have a cap in your ass! So always be polite people.

Also, I learned about a new Beatles song in Music today called:

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..

and I must say, it is rather catchy.

I know all of ya'll are dying to know how my day at the gym went...Well...it went great!
I ran a mile, then did 20mins on the eliptical(sp?) which was almost 2 miles! I had a somewhat healthy supper of rice and fried vegetables that was very bland :/ so I mixed in some Salsa and it was ok..but even Kaleb, who never complains, would have thought it sucked. Working on it, working on it.

Also, I've decided to count calories and ONLY weigh myself weekly, on Mondays. I have placed my scale ontop of the Microwave where it shall poutingly sit until Mondays. I have always been real bad about getting up in the morning..weighing myself, eating, weighing myself, using the bathroom( don't laugh, you know you've done it!), weighing myself, pretty much I would weigh myself at least 20 times a day which gets you no where!

Also, while in the library, I overheard a boy saying (I love to ease drop :) )that he got offered a job at a Bank in Alaska! Go him :)

That's a Negative Ghostrider...

So I'm disapointed to annouce that we will not be living in the Condo-like houses. :(
Kaleb went and asked about them and they are $700 a month! This isn't even Rent-to-Own, so as my wise Mother said.."that's just pissing away $700!", which is the truth. So for now we are currently still looking for a much cheaper residence.

If everything goes as I would like, I will be quitting Grecian as soon as the Pool opens! That's only if I get the pool manager job, which I hope I do. This summer will be the first in a long time that I've not worked at least 3 jobs. And I know ya'll are reading this going, "She is plum crazy", and yes I've been told this plenty of times. I use work to keep me busy and my mind off things, so over the years I've not minded all the stressful hours and money of course :) $$$

I'm in my last semester at Tennessee Tech and it's proving to be stressful as ever. I'm currently taking a Statistics class, which is required for Cumberland's Nursing Program, and it is so hard! Math is my worst subject by far and just the thought of it almost brings tears to my eyes. Thankfully, I have a sister who is a high school Algebra teacher and made an A+ in her College Statistics class, so maybe things aren't so bad :)

Also, I'm taking a Micro class, which is too required for Nursing. Everyone was saying 'Oh you don't need the book', blah blah. Well sure enough, the teacher assigns homework that requires information FROM THE BOOK. So reluctantly, I have ordered the book and it should be here by the end of the week. :/

So I'm sitting at work, wishing I were with my boyfriend, rather than busting my brain over this homework. I guess I'll quit rambling now.  Until tomorrow!

P.S. I start the gym tomorrow!!

Stay Pretty,
Sarah

Cha-Ching $$

So it definately snowed! Although it wasn't as much as I had hoped for, it still caused me to get out of 2 of my classes :) So now I only have one class but it sucks that it's not until 1:25! So I'm bored and stuck at the apt until then, though I may go to the library and print off some stuff...being as it's free there!

So Kaleb came up last night and I told him I would cook CheeseSteak Sandwiches and they turned out to be a success! I'm not really good with flavoring things because I don't mind to eat it bland..so I added a few different spices to the meat then cooked it, praying for the best. I used some PepperJack Cheese to also add some flavor. And I'm proud to say Kaleb said that it has to be the best thing I've cooked him :)

I am also happy to announce that Kaleb is going to talk to people about houses today since it's his day off! I'm so excited! There are these certain houses I like, well they're actually Condo's and there are 2 for sale in Lafayette. They are a little pricey and I told him not to be afraid to tell me if we can't afford them, but I'm hoping for the best!

Here's one of them...

..and the other.

As you can see they are actually 2 houses connected by a garage or as above connected on the house side. I personally would want the ones with the garages connected so you would have more privacy. Otherwise, I would feel like you could drill a hole in the wall and see the other occupants. Just.Not.Right.

But I'm staying open-minded and hoping for the best :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I'm applying for pool manager this summer in hopes that I'll get it and be able to quit Grecian! I have worked there almost 5 years and that's just tooooo long. It wears on me and I don't even smile anymore! But people are so use to it that it doens't much bother them, which isn't good either.

Plus, the pool needs major work and I've got several ideas for this :)

Ok, I'm done rambling now. I guess I will go clean up around the apt. and head to print some stuff off. bleh for having to work at Grecian tonight.

Stay Pretty,
Sarah

Snow!

Ok.

So today has been quite a boring day. But I thought I had better get on here and update this blog while it was still fresh and interesting to me :)

So far all I've done today is Eat and Read. I did everything in order to catch up in my classes last night and I only have 1 class today since my Micro Labs are canceled untill next week.

But Talk on the town is that there will be about 1-3 inches of Snow in Cookeville! I am so excited :) I love snow! I have always been one to love colder weather compared to hot weather. yuk. :/ I hate sweating. The only time I like to sweat is when I'm working out because that means that you are losing weight :)

I WILL be starting the gym on Monday with two of my friends, Zach and John. But while they are swimming on Tuesday and Thursdays( you do not want to see this in a bathing suit :/ ) I will just continue to use the Eliptical(sp?) which I've come to love :) As long as I have the hand things that you pull back and forth to keep me busy.

I need to get a nice set of headphones to use while working out. I can't use the ear phones that go in your ear because of a piercing that I have on my left ear at the Tragus. Which, I've also found is difficult when you are sticking a Stethiscope in your ear. SoOoOo...this may prove to be a problem that can only be solved by taking the piercing out, which I would rather not do because I love it so.

Don't you think it's funny how you can start talking about one thing then just end up in a totally different direction then what you intended? I mean, this whole time all I wanted to talk about was Pocahontas! :) I just love her.

But I will have to save that for another day. I am trying not to keep my posts too lengthy because I've discovered that when I begin to type..well..sometimes I just can't hardly stop.

But on a lighter note..since I have so much time on my hands..
I've began reading the First book in the Sookie Stackhouse Series(again)..

..and hopefully sometime soon I can get all of the TruBlood series on DVD because I love them so. Heart ----> <3

Until another day-
Stay Pretty,

Baby steps....

FEE FIi Fo fum...



Yes, I said it...Baby steps.  First I would like to say that at times I can be somewhat boring and very well could get bored with the whole blogging thing. So, with that being said, don't be surprised if this blog is gone..oh within a WEEK! Just because I've gotten tired of it :)

I would like to say  thank you to Chelsea Robinson. She started blogging and it made me want to try and get into the blogger world ( again) and see if it turned out better this time :) So thank you! and if you're reading this Chelsea, I think your blog is so interesting so keep it up to date!! ;)

So just some small details and tid-bits then I'm off to bed!

-I have been dating Kaleb for almost 1 year! This month(Jan.) will be our 10 months <3

-We are currently looking for houses :) And hope to be married sooooon!

-I am a Junior at TTU <--bleh.

-Starting Fall 2011, I WILL be starting a Nursing School somewhere within driving range..*hopefully*

- I am NO longer a Vegetarian :( sad face. Meat is just too yummy to me. But I hope to pick up the habit again some day.

-I just had my 21st Birthday! Fiesta! So I'm officially an adult now!

Ok.

Enough of this. I'm totally tired. It is 11:42 people. Way past my bedtime. :/
Plus it'll take me like 30 mins before I ACTUALLY get in the bed because it takes me that long to wash my face, brush my teeth,  put in retainers.....


H.E.Y.

Do not, I repeat, Do not e.v.e.r. NOT wear your retainers for a long period of time..like I did..or you will be in so much pain..you could just pull your teeth out. <--This is how I wake up feeling every morning :/ Trying to fix this problem..this CrOoKeD problem..

But goodnight. And I hope to keep this up daily. Even if it's just a sentence or two. I'm also starting the gym and counting calories next Monday...so I hope blogging will help me keep up with that and motivate me to do it!

Thank you Audience for reading this oh so boring blog..and if you made it this far..Well a Gold Star for  you!

Stay Pretty,
Scarter.
