Longest shortest week of my life. . .

yep that was last week. . . really it was the longest shortest week of my entire life.. .why??? Well I went home with the family last sunday, went to school monday, tuesday and wednesday, drove back home wednesday for for my grandmas viewing, stayed the night, went to her funeral drove back up that evening. That night got locked out of my apartment. . .long story but I'll tell it. I just got back and needed to go for a run so I went to the field house missed a call from my roommate called her back and she asked if I happened to have my keys I said no( they were all home when I left and weren't going anywhere, it was late) well apparently they were messin around and somehow the door got locked and closed with no one in it. . .LOCKED OUT!!!!! Luckily I was in sweats and a hoodie not so lucky was the fact that I had just gotten back from running. Our manager didn't get there till 10:45 the next morning. . .I had a class at 8:30. I went with stinky breath and cloths. . .oh well, good thing it was friday!!!!! Saturday and sunday were a complete blur all I know is I woke up this morning and it was Monday!!

Good news is I have an intramural basketball game this Wednesday night. . .time to run around and look like a fool!!!!! I can't wait( okay lets be honest I can wait cause I'm not good at all but its full court this time and lets face it I need something to run around and get some energy out) Wish my poor team Luck!!!!!!

TO YOU. . .

One of the most influential people in my life, you are the reason I did a lot of things and will continue to do many other things.

To your laugh.

To your testimony.

To your love for your family as well as your neighbors.

To your endless commitment.

To your perseverance and endurance.

Thanks for all you have done and shown me these past twenty years of my life.

I'll miss sitting and holding your hand,

but mostly I'll miss you.

Till we meet again.

I LOVE YOU!!!

SO ITS COLD

So its cold (not that its not cold other places, i just haven't had to walk around in the cold all day) but despite the cold I have come up with a list of good things about the cold (only cause its gonna be here for a while):

I can sleep in all the layers and blankets I could possibly want- its great!!
The cool air in the morning really wakes you up
I can quote cool runnings(Jamaica we have a bobsled team) every day. . .and it makes me laugh- 'sanka what ya smokin?' . . .'I ain't smokin, I'm breathin!!'
You can wear cute hats and scarves and gloves
Your cheeks are always Rosy
Its completely normal to wear a jacket under your coat
Its the only season when it feels good to walk into warm building a after being out in the cold
You can drink all of the hot chocolate you want
Those thermal socks you got for Christmas a few years ago are in style and should be worn
It is also the only time that after a work out inside you can cool off when you go out side
You never have to worry about your water in your water bottle getting warm-the temp keeps it cool all day
If you forget to put on deodorant in the morning its okay cause its not like you're gonna be sweatin as you walk around
The thrill of spring is lurking every day- knowing that you are one day closer!!!

Ooops!!!

Well there comes a time in every womens life that something like this needs to happen, mine just happened to be Saturday night. . .pulling out of the parking lot after eating a wonderful meal at Panda, feeling full and cold(cause it freakin freezing, i wounder if the food inside of me will freeze. . .okay bad image in my head). Anyways drivin in the car, all of the sudden we( the two lovely friends who were with me and myself) see cop lights turn on and flip around to pull me over. . .ah crap. . .yes I got pulled over. . .it was in the process of being pulled over that i realize why. . .I forgot to turn on my lights. . .duh!!! Well I handled my self very well, gave him my license and registration, laughed and got on my way. . . to bigger and better things.

Yeah that was the first time I have ever been pulled over. . .and i didn't even get anything out of it. . .which in reality is probably a good thing. Next time I'll make it count. . .well maybe not. It was funny and reminded me of many moments in my life like that. . .

In other news, there is no other news. . .other than I'm pretty lame, i have no pictures from Christmas and just set some goals for the year yesterday. . .so I'm a little behind, no big deal, who said you need a new year to make new goals anyways!!!

I do have a minor motto for this year and I want to live it to the best that I can-"Do that which inspires you to be better, because it is those things that will make you happy."

Life is so great- and I am so ready to keep living it one day at a time!!!
