Yesterday I must have posted five articles...two of them were absolutely hysterical...yet I have barely takers. What is up with this? Did I offend someone? Is it time for me to leave JU? Let's be honest....It won't hurt my feelings....

Saturday, July 18, 2004; My twenty third birthday. It may not have been the greatest, but it was definatley the most memorable. That Friday, Hardin decided to cook me birthday dinner. It was really sweet. He made chicken fettucini alfredo and we had ben and jerry's for dessert. I thought to myself, "Wow...I'm such a lucky girl to have such a thoughtful man." Just wait....the story gets better. So that Saturday, I had planned on getting together with a big group of friends and hitti...

Ok...I must admit. I am in looooove with the reality show America's Next Top Model. It's not cheap or trashy, actually i think Tyra Banks has done a bang up job on this show. 14 finalists are chosen to compete to win a contract with the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. Like survivor or The Amazing Race (guilty pleasure #2), a contestant is booted off each week based on the performance of each wannabe model. This show really teaches the girls a lot about model ediquette and the world of ...

I figured with all the business of the holiday season, it might be funny to share a few retarded stories with one another. here's a couple of mine: About four years ago I was in my dorm room getting ready to go talk to this guy whom which I had been interested in. I was blasting Blondie's "One Way or Another" and singing and shouting at the top of my lungs. Since he was kind of eclectic, I decided to go for an eclectic look myself. I wore this baseball t shirt, spiked my hair, and put ...

1) Independence is bitter sweet--5 1/2 years ago when I started college I was so excited to finally be on my own. I remember after I unpacked my Mom's car literally kicking her out of my new dorm room. Two days later I was in tears bawling how I wanted to come home. Eventually you hit that low point and now you have something to work with. Each year the apron string was cut further and further back and now i've been supporting myself for the past three years....I'm practically a grown up...

As most know, Scott Peterson has been sentenced to death. I'm not sure if I agree with the sentence. On one hand, yes what he did was down right one of the most awful things I've ever heard of and he should be punished to death, but wouldn't rotting away in prision be a worse sentence? He would have had his whole life to sit there and think about the henious crimes he committed. What do y'all think?

On Saturday, December 18th, I will be getting married! I can't believe it's less than one week away. I am every emotion you can think of right now. I am excited to be with my man again. I am scared to do the eight hour move. I am frusturated because I've been sick due to the little disease spreaders at school. I hope I'm well for the wedding!! AHH!!

Two weeks ago I decided that my Christmas gift to myself would be to quit smoking. I have smoked for about four years and have decided to call it quits for good. I have quit once before, but became a smoker again once I moved in with a heavy smoker. Now it's time to wake up and get healthy. I want to spend as much time as I can with my soon to be husband, and smoking just isn't the answer. It costs too much money and it's terrible for your health. They say it takes 21 days to break ...

Today on the news I heard that one northeast Ohio high school got raked over the coals for playing secular Christmas Music at their holiday concert. Isn't Christmas supposed to be about the celebration of Christ's birth? What's the deal here? I realize that not everyone celebrates Christmas because of religious beliefs and whatnot, but December 25 is the day that Jesus was born. That is the primary reason it's a holiday. I believe that unlike many holidays fabricated by hallmark, Christm...

Wow! It's been forever since I've posted!! Between the holidays, visiting with friends, and wedding plans, I've been too exhausted to even blog...haha. Thanksgiving was pretty decent this year. My parents always host this holiday. I spent the whole day coloring and playing with play dough with my two year old niece, Elizabeth. She's as smart as a whip. She knows all of her numbers up to 20, basic colors, and about 75% of her abc's. She obviously takes after her magnificent Aunt Al...

Every time I see him, my heart feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. He will be here in a half an hour and I have no Idea what to wear. Do I go for the revealing halter dress or the casual tank top and jeans? Life is so full of choices... I hope this catches on!
