Gettin' in the Holiday Spirit

I finally uploaded my pictures in the right order! Go girl!! So....bare with me. There are a few pictures in this post :] And as I'm sure you can tell by the first one....IT CAME FRIDAY!!! My offer of admission came from Stevenson :] I am so excited!! I go register for classes on the 7th!
Brooke and Jayden spent the night Friday night. And oh! what a night that was!! We gave them their Christmas presents early. Partially because we probably won't see them until after Christmas and partially because Aunt Brittany is impatient as anything :] Brooke looks really disappointed in her present doesn't she?!

When we gave Jayden his cars all he did was run around the hall in and out of the kids room and back into the guest room and round and round again. He loves cars.
Who knew that arts and crafts at Aunt Brittany's included cutting scraps of wrapping paper into tine pieces with either (a) a cricut cutter (b) funky scissors or (c) a wrapping paper cutter. And then coloring on it with crayons! WHO KNEW?!?!?

The Brittanys

Me and Brittany (from work) went shopping last night. We ate at Noodles (or as Mandy calls it...Cup O Noodles) and we did some shopping. Gretta couldn't come with us so we sent her pics galoore on her phone of all of our purchases! I took back the present I got for my grandmother and I got her something else. That I think she would like more.

Today plans include...taking my last final (woot!), selling back my book, going to Old Navy to buy a new pair of pants and to get a holiday shirt to wear at work Xmas eve, and coming home and wrapping the rest of Justin's presents before he sees them!!! and cleaning my room and taking inventory of the presents to make sure we have everything.

So off to get in the shower and take my exam! Wish me good luck!

Ridiculous

This weather is ridiculous. Yesterday is was freezing rain and today it's almost too warm to wear a sweater. I can't stand this Maryland winter weather. It's crazy.

Anyway...on a happier note...I got a phone call on Monday and it went to. Long story short...I've been playing phone tag with the Assistant Director of Admissions at Stevenson University and turns out...she was calling me to tell me to hurry up and register for classes because I WAS EXCEPTED!! EEE!!! I am so excited. Towson was pretty much keeping me in limbo, but Stevenson called me instead of sending a letter. The college is closed until January 2nd and classes start January 12th. So I have to hurry and apply :] Oy Vey!

Between that, and work and Christmas things...my life has been so crazy.

I'm going to work on some more Christmas stuff. Adios!

Empty House

I still haven't gotten used to living in an empty house. As many times as my parents go away, I still don't like staying here by myself. In my old house it might have been okay, since it was much smaller. And now every time this house moves it scares me. Or every time the dogs get up, I'm scared. It stinks.

Last night was really fun and simple. Justin and I went to get some take-out Chinese food, and we rented Wall-E (which by the way wasn't as great as we'd thought it would be. I'm tired of Disney movies have ulterior motives) and then we watched a new episode of Ghost Hunters :]

I got some more Christmas shopping done :] My step-mom is finished. So now I have to finish my dad and my grandmother, and I still have to start Mom Cathy, Grandmom Markle, Tabitha, Aunt Jean and Uncle Rick. And I don't know who all Justin has to finish. I know what I am getting mostly everyone except my grandfather and my aunt. And I have to design scrapbook pages for Grandmom, which unfortunately won't get done until school is over.

I'm rambling and need to go back to bed :] Goodnight

Neglect

Wow!! I have really neglected my blog for the past week.

Now I know what a work-a-holic is! I worked 60.34 hours this week (or so the time clock said :]). And boy was I pooped. And on top of that, it looks like I might have to work a little overtime this week too!! I have tons of homework, transcripts to send out, bills to pay, and take care of Justin.

OH! P.S. - in case anyone wasn't at Grandmom Markle's on Friday...Justin hurt his knee again. To the point that he is having a really hard time walking. We went to get dinner last night and he walked around Wal*Mart. Well...only to the pharmacy section to get stuff for me to pamper him :] And then right to the couch!

I have a paper to write and I am really procrastinating :]
