NEW YEAR

As my friend mentioned in her blog "a scrapaddicts ramblings" I too normally stay home for New Years Eve. But not this year........Me and my boyfriend of 3 years are heading out to one of our friends houses for what I can imagine as a "crazy drunken hug filled night." But of course I will not be doing such things because I am only a meer 18 and would get in big trouble! Well maybe one drink hehehehe. I mean it is New Years! But as I was saying whenever our friends get drunk there is tons of hugging involved.

They actually go through something I like to call the 3 stages.

Stage 1- Hate the world and all it entitles

Stage 2- Love everyone and everything in the room

Stage 3- Sick Stage (You know)

To be honest I would rather not even go out there. There is something about being with my family when the ball drops that makes tear up. Maybe I'm to old fashioned but I would rather be home with my family then being out with drunken retards. But I love my boyfriend and he really wants to go out there and we always do what I want so I feel like I owe this to him. Plus maybe Its time I start going to more parties it could be fun!

New Step

New Year

I'm ready to try!

Oh by the way I am about 5 months away from Graduating!

Christmas Shopping

Ahh Beautiful Christmas time. I love it!

I finished up my christmas shopping yesterday and boy oh boy was it crazy, I waited in tons of lines, bought tons of gifts and of course spent a ton of money. But i'm not complaining I love Christmas and anyone who talks to me can tell you it's true. I love buying people gifts it makes me feel good that I can do something for the people I love. I somtimes get mad because my parents always act for practical stuff such as socks and dress shirts, sense when do people ask for what they need for christmas I always thouhgt it was what you wanted, not what you needed! But according to my mom when you get older thats what you do, but I can tell you right now I can never see myself doing that.

.......Anyways.......

I had a very hard desicion to make yesterday. How much to spend on my brothers and sisters.

What makes this desicion so hard is that fact that you cant spend a ton of money on one and then a misley amount on the other thats just rude! SO after thinking long and hard I decided to spend $40 each. Lucky Ducks! I should dearly be loved after this christmas.....DEARLY! Well I better get to work so I can remake all that cash I spent.

Have a wondwerful day, and if I don't write again before Christmas I hope you have a Merry one.

Broadway!

Tomorrow I'm going to see a Broadway play! Wicked! And We get front row seats. I am SO excited I here its amazing.

We Have a little over 200 people in my Senior Class and we all get to go.

One of my fellow Seniors parents were actually the ones that paid for it. Our agenda includes,

Taking Chartered Buses to Chicago

Eating Lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe

Go to Wicked

Walking around Chicago for a little while

Than getting back on the buses to head home where we will receive good boxed dinners so we won't get hungry.

I am not only happy but I am very grateful. That was very nice of his parents not only for setting it up but for stopping to think that everyone should be able to go if they had money or not.

This is going to be a great experience. Not only because we don't have to pay for anything, but because it is going to be one thing that I will always remember about my Senior Year getting to do a couple more amazing things with my Senior Class.

So with no Names being said Thank-You. You are going to give me an experience I may have never gotten a chance to experience.

Oh Ps: We Get Front Row Seats!

Turkey Day

Good smells, Lots of family, Love, Giving thanks, Snow, Tons of games, Great food, Turkey day run, Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade. All of theses things remind me of Thanksgiving, And our Family Traditions it never fails every Thanksgiving the same routine, I wake up in the morning my dad is up watching the news drinking his coffee & eating a fresh slice of my moms famous pumpkin roll when he looks up and says "Happy Thanksgiving Jo." My mom is busy in the kitchen getting the turkey started she comes in sees me awake and says "Good morning sweetie Happy Thanksgiving" and kisses me on the cheek. I walk over to the couch where my brother and sister are sitting and they lift up the blanket for me to cuddle in, now even though my sister is 20, my brother is 19, and I am 18 we still do this.....But its nice that we can. After sitting on the couch for a while my dad finally yells "Turkey Day Runners!!" We jump off the couch and my mom comes running in to see the first ones of this new Thanksgiving morning. Now if you don't know what a Turkey Day Runner is just Imagine people running Sleet or Snow in red costumes to celebrate the coming of Christmas, And to win a Turkey of course. After a few hoots and hollers out the door to cheer them on

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Starts we all nestle back down into our seats to watch something that seems to be a big part of this American Holiday.

That's not even half the day but it is one of my favorite parts. Possibly the favorite part of my day. You may be wondering how its my favorite part of Thanksgiving if we do it every year. And my answer to that is Because I love it! I love being with my family and I love the mood this holiday brings around. Thanksgiving / Christmas will always be my favorite times of the year Snow or no Snow.

I AM A WINTER GIRL

Closing Time

I QUIT!

I am so very proud of myself I quit My job at AWS as File Clerk And I feel like the world has been lifted off of my shoulders. I really just couldn't take it anymore. $7.50 just doesn't cut it for stacks an stacks of paper and driving a gazillion miles.

OK so maybe not exactly a gazillion but a lot. Anyways, nobody ever told me it would be so hard to quit a job you hate...... But it is! I must have walked past my boss's office 10 times before going in and saying what I had to say. After a few foolish tears. And some questions ( on her part) I was told this would be considered my 2 weeks and she would search for somebody new. YAY!!!

Final Day Of work at the paper Factory

Welcome To Where Ever You Are.

Hi! This is really just an update from my last blog. I really just wanted to show you some of my Amazing Senior Pictures

So Here they are!

I have so much more but just thouhgt the two would work for now If you want to see more go to Jenny's Site!(posted in my last blog)
Jenny Did An Awesome Job And I couldn't be happier!

Oh Happy Days

No matter what happens things have been getting better and better. I can't help it. I'm just in one of those moods where nothing gets me down. It all started when I got My Braces Off (Before, During and After Pictures coming soon) I was really nervous that I would need to get my teeth whitened or that my teeth weren't going to turn out as nice as I thought. I walked over to that mirror with little confidence and walked away like a new person my gorgeous teeth had made all the difference.....I didn't look so little anymore, having braces makes you feel little because it seems like a little kid thing to have. No feeling like that for me anymore my new straight pearly whites with my big brown eyes and new hair cut make me look my age (18). I must admit the freckles could go but they make me, well me.

"But Onwards With Our Convo."

I am getting My Senior Pictures, FINALLY, and I am so excited! EEEEE!

I'm sorta nervous that my picture's will end up looking like I tried to hard but I pray they don't.

I do have utmost faith in my photographer (Jenny) though. She Takes Amazing pictures. I don't know if she has done any senior ones. But hey sometimes it's cool to be the first. If you would like to check out what she can do go to her blog ennyj.blogspot.com.

Well gotta run but I will definetly post again soon and hopefuly have those pictures for you.

Till next time!

High School Confedential

I am in school right now bored out of my mind! I am actually in Digital Production which is fun only if you have something to do. My teacher is a gazillion years old and is just waiting for someone to hand him a bucket to kick. The Computers are pretty nice I have one of those new apple computers with a screen bigger than the black board it's pretty sweet. I can't wait to get out of here honestly. But the only thing about that, is when I leave here I have to go to work. Not fabulous Pages In Time (which by the way is the all American dream job) But my other job, where I am honestly not sure of my job title....What Is It???? I file alot that's like all I ever do. Man! What is that called it is on the tip of my tongue..... File manager? No! Secretary of Files? No! I got it File Clerk. Of course they try to make it 2 words to make me feel better but everyone knows what a clerk is....Ya you know! Anyways I hope my high school degree helps me get a better job than a file clerk. I graduate On May, 21 of 2009, So I guess we will See soon.

As you probably guessed from my previous statement I am Officially a Senior.......Yup that's me. Do you know What Senoritas is???? I think I've had it sense 6Th grade......HEHEHE.
Anyways I think my teacher is glaring at me which probably means I should get off and act like I'm working. Wait maybe he's sleeping?!?!?!?!?!?
Well Till Next Time.

Tears From Heaven

Have you ever cried so much that you thought it was impossible that anymore tears could possibly come out? I have. I had known that my grandfather was in bad shape for a while but when I got that call ,that shocking call it seemed like I was hearing it for the first time. They said it was fatal and they didn't know how long he was going to last. Days, Weeks, Months no one knew. I can only imagine how stupid I looked as I almost fell to the ground in front of all the customers. Tobi catching me telling me to sit and asking what was wrong. I couldn't get 2 syllables out of my mouth without a new batch of tears streaming down my cheek. Needless to say being enable to work I left to head up to the hospital.

When I got there everyone was there. They told me I couldn't cry in front of my grandfather because no one had told him yet. But I was allowed to go in there for a brief moment to tell him I loved him and give him a kiss, the kiss which could have been my last to ever give him.

As I entered the room my senses filled of death and depression. Seeing such a strong man in such a weak position was the hardest thing I ever had to see.
