Desperate Housewife :]

Minus the desperate part. Monday and today I feel like I am truly a housewife. I did laundry, cleaned the house, did the dishes, cleaned my room, starched and ironed clothes, and then moving onto reading a good novel with some Starbucks caramel macciato ice cream.

But today is less relaxing. I cleaned my room, did the dishes, read a little bit of my book, and now I am working on some stuff for school. No wonder I didn't pass this class the first time. My teacher is pretty much an assignment nazi. She gave us stuff for the midterm last night. Which we have to be finished by next Tuesday in order for her to give us the take home exam (side note: why do I have to type out a study guide and make note cards when it is a TAKE HOME exam...does this seem crazy to you? seems crazy to me!! ), then I have to read a 5 page article and find another one on the baby's brain and compare them and type up a paper on that. Then I have to spend two days in a classroom and write up an observation plus an interview. Then I have a chapter presentation due with Angela and Mark, and a theorist presentation with a paper, and then a capstone (which is why I failed the last time) and a final exam! OY VEY! It makes me tired thinking about all the things I have to do.

On a much happier and relaxing note, Justin and I have started to make preliminary plans for our anniversary at the end of April. We were thinking about taking a day trip on Thursday and then something else on Friday. Who knows.

Okay well enough stalling, I have to get back to my school work.

Be Mine ♥

We had a really good Valentine's day. Justin took me to Carrabba's for dinner. Only my favorite restaurant :] He got me half a dozen long stem roses. I think he has learned his lesson. I LOVE FLOWERS! Lots and lots of them. But they don't love me that much. They make me sneeze. So I have to limit my daily pollen intake :]

I made Justin a card for Valentine's day. Lately, I have been obsessed with scrapbooking. I also have a fetish for scrapbooking paper and supplies. Oh! And I love new pens. Don't judge :] So I used my Cricut machine and cut it out. Pretty fancy, huh? Anything that looks like it may even be remotely related to scrapbooking, I have to own. No questions.

Off to watch Criminal Minds with the ever-s0-hot Shemar Moore :]

Backwards

Yep. That's my life. I feel like I work such crazy hours at work, my life is just plain backwards. I didn't get up until almost 11 today. So now I cannot sleep. Justin's hanging out here with me tonight. And he's upstairs. Sleeping. And I'm downstairs. Typing. He has been up since the crack of dawn and now I'm the one wide awake. So I got online and there's nothing exciting here!

I gave Justin his Valentine's Day present tonight. I got him four different kinds of coffee, took him to see My Bloody Valentine and I sent him flowers at work.

My battery is going to die. More later

* Yawn *

That's all I did today. Being up at 3:30 in the morning really bites the big one!! It really takes a toll after a while. And while I dislike being up that early, I am REALLY REALLY thankful to even have a job :]

Last night we made dinner and went up to Fred and Brandee's. Katie stopped by for a little bit to see Ella. Who is totally cute...by the way. I had lots of fun spending time with her. We played some Wii and Bran and I rocked out on Kabookii :]

I sent Justin flowers at work today for Valentine's Day. Fred was my accomplice :] HaHa!! I was really nervous that they wouldn't be sent in time OR that I may have been scammed. But he got them and they are really pretty.

Tonight we are going to Arundel Mills mall to see My Bloody Valentine. Not my cup of tea but Justin wanted to see it so it is part of my Valentine's gift to him. The rest of his gift should be coming in the mail tomorrow :]

Off to take a nap. I am bushed

TGIF

Thank goodness it's Friday! Too bad I have to work all night :[ My manager asked if she gave me off on Monday night, would I work Friday night. Being the nice person I am, I said yes. I usually have Fridays off though. And then I have to work all night Saturday night, and pretty much all day on Sunday. Bummer dude.

This week will be spent trying to figure out what to get Justin for Valentine's Day. I had an idea but that fell through. So back to the drawing board!! Then the rest of the day includes working, reading the chapter for my class. What kind of a publisher makes one chapter 43 pages long? Cantankerous I tell you!!

I made cookie dough brownies the other night and my dad pretty much scarfed them down. So much for not liking chocolate. I think Sunday night I am going to make caramel blondies for Justin to take to work. I think Fred likes them, and it won't give him a migraine since there's no chocolate. I often times think about making stuff for work but there are so many cashiers, service desk girls, courtesy associates, and people greeters, I wouldn't even know how much to make!

Okay well off to the drawing board to figure something out for Valentine's Day. Do guys like flowers?!

Snow Day!

So not only do I not have class today, I don't have to work either :]

I didn't get to sleep in as much as I would have liked, but that's okay. I'll just take a nap later. I figured up my taxes. But they aren't final yet. So I guess my dad and I will take a look at them tonight. I'm not waiting until April 1st to send them in again. That was crazy. I actually think I'm still waiting for one more bank statement to come through. And then off they go!

Today's activities include laundry and reading :] I have a chapter to read for my class and then I will dive into my new novel! I finished my last one :] It was really good! Cindy at work is next in line to read it. Then Kristie :]

Off to do laundry and read.

Updates :]

My blogs feel so boring compared to Fred & Brandee's.... :]

This weekend, Justin & I took my niece down to my grandparents' house for a sleep over. We went and got our toes done :] Brooke was really excited to get her nails painted too. Then we had spaghetti for dinner. And Brooke baked cookies with grandmom and played cards with pop. Here was the run down for the evening...

8:30 - bath and medicine time (she was sick)
10:00 - she finally felt sleepy and i put her to bed.
4:00 am - Aunt Brittany accidentally fell asleep with Uncle Justin while watching a movie and was woken to turn her movie back on.
5:00 am - "I want you to come sleep with me"
5:30 - 8:30 am - we both finally got some sleep.

Saturday and Sunday were crazy at work because of the Super Bowl! Oy!

Today's activities included laundry and throwing $130.00 down the drain on ONE BOOK for my class. Outrageous! Getting my hair cut followed by more laundry. Then Justin and I watched Chuck in 3D. I was a little disappointed. I guess I have been spoiled by Disney World's 3D films. But it was a pretty cool season premier, none the less :] And now it's snowing. So off to bed because I will have to leave for work early. Toodles.
