random monday facts

okay guys so i know i have really been bad at updating lately- there is just not enough hours in the day and my finals have taken every last bit of time i have free- which is exhausting. however the end is near! i am almost done with my finals- after this week it's all easy stuff after this. here are a few highlights from my weekend and life in general

- i finished my paper of doom (aka my psychology paper)last night at about 10:30- now why do i call it my paper of doom you ask, well because it had to be 10 pages long with a minimum of 7 references. yea.... that is why i hate reference papers! so on saturday night i sat down with a 4 pack of monster energy drinks and wrote the first 8 pages- then last night only had 2 more to go- i ended up with 11 pages instead of 10! i guess i had more to say then i thought!

- darin and i danced in my college's spring dance performance this year both friday and saturday night. we coreographed a swing dance which was a huge hit! we got lots of applause and wonderful compliments after the show. it was amazing! i received 2 credits for taking the independant study and was very glad i did. next semester i am taking modern dance- which should be very interesting. i am so excited! i hope that after i am done next december i can concentrate more on my dancing and take some additional dance classes- does anyone have any suggestions of what kind of dance classes i should take or where i should take them? i would love your ideas!

- i am finally going back to eating meat- and not just chicken. i decided that it wasn't very healthy for me to not eat meat- i don't get a lot of protein without it and i was getting very, very tired of chicken. so this weekend i sank my teeth into a wonderful pepperoni pizza with the hubby. we always bicker about what to have on our pizza- i love just cheese and some veggies- but he loves meat- any kind and lots of it! so his mouth just about dropped open when i said "let's get a pepperoni pizza"- yea that made his day for sure :0)

- school is almost done- only 2 more weeks and i am RELIEVED i seriously am not sure how much more i can take with homework and classes- i really need a break bad. with all of this nice weather we have been having it's been extremely hard for me to kick my butt into gear and get things accomplished- that's why this weekend was such a accomplishment for me- i sat down, finished my paper and didn't cram it all in at the last minute- it was a really awesome thing!

- i am actually looking forward to working full time this summer- i want to be able to be debt free by the end of summer and it looks like we will be able to do it. i don't want to be buried under debt- especially for as long as we have been. debt is unavoidable- but i want good debt- a mortgage, car payment( my car is at 190,000 miles and it wont last forever!), kids- these are things i want so badly and if we can get rid of all of our unecessary debt we can finally move on to better things. we can save for having kids, and a down payment on a house and hopefully things that we have been dying to get for a long time!

- hubby and i each got 2 parking tickets in the last 2 days for forgetting to call in our cars on the street. our landlords are re-paving our driveway so we can't park there- you think we would have remembered to call them in after the first time, NOPE! well, there goes 80 dollars down the drain. don't we pay enough taxes that we should be able to park anywhere at anytime? street parking passes, liscense plate stickers, and anything to do with the dmv is such a money maker!

- i am about to do my first wedding with Molly on may 16th and i am sooo excited! i will be her personal assitant and the best part? i get to run around and see what she does, the ins and outs of wedding photography. what is also awesome is that the photographer and the photographers assistant are the ones that spend the most time with the bride and groom all day- so you really get to contribute in a special way to their big day, i can't wait!- oh and of course we sometimes get a piece of wedding cake- i love wedding cake!

well guys that's all i have for now- more to come later when the fog of school has lifted- i can't wait to catch everyone up on everythign and actually have time to do a full blog post!

happy monday!

Parking tickets suck so bad. But it sounds like all is well besides that. Hang in there with school, it will be over before you know it.
