a real post.....

so i figure it's time for a real live post. not one of those 2 liners or nothing to be said posts. this time....i actually have something to say. actually....2 things. but we will start with yesterday and go to today.

yesterday rachel and ben got married. now that was crazy. i've known for years they would get married, and even when they told us all they were getting married it all seemed like a dream. the bachlorette party, the shower, the wedding, right down to the reception. but finally towards the end, it all sank in. i think it was somewhere between the first dance and the dollar dance that it really felt real. jo and i helped serve the drinks and food so that kept us busy, but i enjoyed having something to do...and i could see all that was going on. at one point i looked at rachel and realized that the way she looked is the way i always knew she would look. She was gorgeous. radiant. everything you can say to describe her, that is what she was. seeing that, i knew just how much i have always loved these two. it's weird thinking my friends are now married, but at the same time...it couldn't make more sense. who knows what is going to happen next for them, but it's going to be okay. i guess, with all this rambling....i just realized how much i love them and hope the best for them. they deserve it.

and today. karen's baby shower! i ended up staying up all night to finish the baby sweater i was working on...but it's done. and i loved giving it to her. family and friends came to the shower, we played some fun games and had a very nice time. it was good to see everyone that was here, and sad to see them all go...even if i was desperate to go to sleep. but yea. i'm really excited about this baby. even though i stayed up late and wore myself out....i'd do it all again for this baby...and she isn't even here yet. so...another month and a half. i can't wait! i love her already....of course.

so that's about it. a wedding on saturday, up all night, and a baby shower on sunday....a very long, but very very very good weekend. luckily, i don't have class in the morning.

done.

i'm done with j-term! yes! my class went well...but now it's done. i thought i was going to have this whole week with nothing to do...hah. that never actually happens does it. anyway. it's been good. i've slept in for once and just taken my time. i'm also busy knitting.....but that's not too hard at all. i wasn't planning on working at all this week, but i worked on monday and i'm working some today, and possibly tomorrow and friday. some more work showed up that i can get done...so i guess that's a good thing. some more $$ coming in. yes!

anyway...i better go get ready for lunch before i head off to work.

Great news!!

so....you want to hear the GREAT NEWS?

i know you do.
well...Grandma gave me some money for Christmas. and I took a long time to decide what it was I would buy with it. Well....I finally decided that Dawson's Creek season 2 would be my best choice. and...today.....i won the ebay auction for Dawson's Creek season 2 for a total of $25! that's including shipping! half of the store price.

i'm very proud of myself. and i'm down to only needing season 3 to complete my collection. well..and season 6 but it isn't out of DVD yet...so. that is to come. YES! oh...and i have a bid in on an auction for season 3...might as well spend the rest of the christmas money! (and it's under $20 right now...awesome!) so. soon, my collection will be complete!

sorry i've been lazy and haven't posted much at all.....

so yea.
j-term is almost over! yes!

I presented my project yesterday and turned in my paper today. then in about 5 mintues I turn in my second paper. sit through some other presentations on monday. but as for work to get done. I'M DONE! yes!

j-term is over and i have a week and a half to do nothing.
sweet!

so yea. that's about it done with j-term in 3 blog posts.
and i e-mailed ellen about my gee haw wimmie diddle...i hope she calls me and asks me to sing the special song. that would be really cool.

J-term

yes. that is where i am now. sorry for the lack of posting.....i've been busy/lazy. (either i'm really busy, or finally get a break and don't post) anywho....i'm now back at taylor for j-term. taking one class...and not working much at all. except this week, in which i'm working ALL THE TIME! i have class from 8-10:30 or 8-11:30 and as soon as i'm done with that, i come to work until 5. so YAY! but my back hurts.

i'm going running tonight. yes! finally...i'm seriously getting ready for the mini. so yea. also...i've decided this baby karen is having....is spoiled to great deals (and yes that is my fault!) i already have 3...going on 5 presents. whoops. i know i know...i just can't help it. oh well. babies are good reasons to spend money.

tomorrow is rachels' bachlorette party....applebees. that's exciting! should be a good time with the girls. i'm looking forward to my girl time. it should be good.
