mommy + daughter = BFF's

i have the best mom in the entire world. she is so wonderful and i love her so much. she came to visit me this weekend and we had the most fun ever. we stayed at a hotel and got rocky mountain hot stone massages and pedicures. we shopped, had room service, and watched gilmore girls. and we also watched the cu boulder football players that were staying at our hotel. but still it was like the best weekend ever. i miss my mommy very much now. cant wait till christmas!

11/11/11

three years today is supposed to be my potential wedding date. ever since i was young i always wished on the clock at 11:11 and since those days 11/11/11 has always been the planned day of my wedding. back then this year was like ten years away so it seemed like a lifetime but now looking at the date and seeing that it is three years away im not so sure that this will be the planned date anymore... sorry for those of you who had your save the date cards. i mean you can keep hoping but i feel the chances are going to be very slim. sorry..

as for the current life i made it back from vegas. i had the best time ever. i got to hang out with aarons mom and sister and we had so much fun together. we got to watch anne of green gables and anne of avonlea which were both amazing. we also ate lots of food so for the next two weeks (or until i am back there again for thanksgiving) i have moderated my food portions to be a much smaller amount.

my body is still in quite a bit of pain from my accident. my hand is more bruised and swollen since it happened and my body still continues to ache. i cant write for because the brace my hand is in prevents it so i have been typing every single class assignment. i am also on muscle relaxants. at first these made me a little loopy and very relaxed but i think my body has started to adjust to them so i am a little more calm when under the influence.

i also got into the university of colorado at boulder which i am very excited about. my only worry besides packing up and moving to a whole new town meeting new people and starting college all over again is the liberal-ness. the few majors that i am interested in taking from there will all be taught very biased-ly which i am not too comfortable with so i am thinking that maybe i should chose a major which could not be too biased like communication or art history, haha, but this is not what im really interested in. actually boulder doesnt even have my major or global studies, but for the time being i will survive. ok my hand is super sore from typing so im going to goooo.

happy 11/11 and sorry about the future wedding plans!

gonna sell my car and go to vegas

i made it to las vegas and i just had the most wonderful night of sleep. currently i am laying in aarons sisters bed who is away at college, and it is excellent. the eleven hour drive yesterday was long but surprisingly not too uncomfortable. my new muscle relaxing medicine made me sleep most of the way (even with my mouth open and drooling at times) but it helped. i also wore a heating pad that strapped around my lower back which made me feel like i was wearing body shapers and trying to control my chub. we stopped at cracker barrel in st. george where we got a huge and delicious meal of biscuits, gravy, jam, eggs, bacon, and grits for only 13 dollars. it was a winner. we got to his home about an hour or so later. his mom and dad welcomed us. we all talked for a while which was so nice and no where near as awkward as last time. this morning aaron came in and said goodbye at like 650 because he was leaving for his class. that is actually the reason why we are here. he is taking a three day AMGA (american mountain guide association) course on single pitch rock climbing. he has class from 8-5 for the next three days so i am going to be enjoying some lovely time with his family.. his mom has planned for us to watch anne of green gables and avonlea (i dont even know how to spell that one). and sunday is aarons birthday so a bunch of his extended family is going to come for dinner. i dont know what i got myself into! but as for now things are good.

and if obama is elected you will support palin for vp

most of you im sure have already heard about my accident so maybe i will write about it later since i only have the typing use of my left hand currently. so i just wanted to post one last thing about the election.

obama supporters really for mccain

anger

im just going to vent.

scenario: me in bed taking a nap because i got 5 hours of sleep last night

lynsey walks in "hey can i open the blinds to let some light in here?

me: uhhh sure

i fall asleep and have been sleeping for about half an hour

she comes in and leaves our door open to our bedroom where everyone else is out and around our apartment being loud. she sits in bed, opens her computer, turns on the music pretty loud.

i wake up from this, and try and doze back off which i do.

lynsey's friend karen comes in "ohh hey lynsey how are you" clearly i am asleep in my bed they sit down and have a conversation.

karen asks about lynseys paper and lynsey says ohh we can talk later. then a few minutes later she is like ohh well we can just talk about it now.

i lay there for a minute, and ten cant stand it anymore.

i get out of bed grab my computer.

lynsey: "ohh sorry we woke you up" karen "ohh yeah sorry" i walk out

lynsey: "ohh do you think you could shut the door behind you.

i slam it. righteously pissed.

this is not the first time it has happened, this is about the tenth or eleventh, always when im napping or going to sleep. but usually it involves her turning on a light, turning on her music, and having friends over in our tiny bedroom while im sleeping. FREAKING GO IN THE LIVING ROOM. its huge, spacious, be as loud as you want for all i care. leave me alone!

i know i should have probably confronted her the first time. you think shed get the point after i wake up and storm out of our room frustrated ten different times. i just dont care anymore. just a month and then some. i have to survive.

to sit by the hottie or to not sit by the hottie

im in arizona now and it is hot hot hot. the plane ride here was good but i had an interesting thought. it was one of those planes where you get to chose where you sit in order of boarding by letter group. i walked on the plane and most seats full except middle seats. now here is the strangest process. you walk down the aisle evaluating each person you see to decide if they are worthy of sitting next to. are they old and smelly? do they have a crying child? are they a bit overweight? are they middle aged and talkative? are they young and attractive perhaps? and if you think hes attractive does he think that you are attractive? would that just be awkward the whole plane ride. hmmmm and even though you are evaluating people they are evaluating you right back. even as i sat i watched each person hoping that certain people didnt sit next to me.

in the end i sat between an older woman and a sorority girl. it was a silent flight but it went by rather quickly.

The Cup

Im sitting in the only open seat I could find in a crowed coffee shop on Pearl Street in Boulder. The "paradoxical mix of left-leaning politcally-correct environmentalism and yuppiedom" how much do you love that last word? Its the only place I could find with wireless internet so I compromised. Apparently I picked a bad seat. The entire time I have been sitting here I have been dive bombed by dangerous flies. There are about 6 of them that are flying around in circles around this little area and the girl across from me and the man beside me and I have been desperately trying to swat them away. So far, no use. I came here to study for midterms and instead I am being attacked by flies.

But other than that the day has been good. I love having my alone days. I got home this morning and packed up my stuff that I would need to study for the day. I drove over to boulder and went to the campus. I sat in the shade beneath a beautiful big tree but it was windy and millions of leaves kept falling on me so I decided to head for the library. Here I felt like a real student studying at a table, even though I had such a problem trying to find the entrance. But once there I accomplished a lot. Is it strange to go study and hang out by yourself at a university that you dont even go to? Gosh Im such a poser. After that I came over to the cafe where I have been since and am enjoying studying at my leisure. Just because im lacking friends right now doesnt mean its bad to hang out by myself. Im making the most of it. I just wish these flies would go away.
