how many cokes will it take to keep me awake?

i'm going to try and type in all lower-case like my dear friend xuannie.

the amount of fatigue i feel right now is one word, rediculous.

that being said, i cannot fully update you on the spring break adventures experienced. not enough time nor energy. also, school. its in the way of things like....



fun.



whatever, its cool.


and, actually, i really, really, really like school (i mean, hello, i'm going to BE a teacher). don't get me wrong, i try and be grateful for each day i don't have to completely grow up. i know one day very,very,too soon, i will look back and say, "i really miss school. that was the life!"


but, seriously, the fatigue. bleh.

over the next two days i have:

2 papers
1 logbook up to date
4 article reflections

obviously, that's why i'm here...blogging...and not doing homework between classes or taking an extreme power nap.

Ok, the power nap is probably going to happen in about 30secs for about 15 mins. truth.

til then, here's one of my fav pictures from SB 2011:



P.s. Beeble and I made it here! cool, huh?

see you on the other side of the homework mountain!

Things lately....

Wow.

Life.

Sorry for the sporatic posting, I don't like it much either. It seems like I have been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


Busy.


Maybe I just spazz out too easily.


Or, both.


Regardless, here's some of the latest, the picture version:

Paprika continues in his quest to become the world's cutest scarf...



Proof. da Hubs really did enjoy his B.B. ....



Kiltie went to school with me. She decided she liked being a dog more than a student....



Beeble and I became RC (roller coaster) pros....



AND! I got my very first, much anticipated, pair of TOMS. A picture that perfectly depicts me--sparkles and sushi--whoop!



Noteworthy but not photographed highlights:

1) Sonic picnic date w/ da Hubs

Don't forget to pay attention to the highlights in your life! They are there! Promise :)

today:

is his birthday. he is a fantastic man, so fantastic that words often fail me when expressing my love for him. if i could have one wish granted right now, it'd be that today of all days, he would feel known, loved, and appreciated. he deserves it.

happy birthday, Beloved. Thank-you for capturing my heart. yup.

(a very bacon) birthday highlights, so far:

1) waking up to cook da Hubs birthday bacon
2) surprising him w/ said b.b.
3) him enjoying it even though i feared that i had ruined it (to which i'm sure jas would retort, "how can you ruin bacon???").
4) talking with him while he munched on his b.b. and i nibbled on my breakfast lunchable (breakfast lunchable--ironic?).
5) melodramatically singing along to "king of the road," and "sweet caroline" for a little birthday morning jam sesh before da Hubs left for work.
6) getting ready for his birthday dinner out. [if you read this before coming home jas...shut-up, you're going. it's your birthday.]
7) walking to class in the rediculous wind. note to self: eat heavier foods in order to avoid blowing away.
8) a postcard from a dear friend.
9) not having class tomorrow. heyo!
10) playing w/ da beebs this weekend.
11) kiltie feeling better
12) snapping pictures of da Hubs w/ his b.b. this morning before he devoured it. no, i haven't loaded the pictures onto my computer, yet.
13) eagerly awaiting his arrival home--best.part.of.every.day.

Guess what ? I'm still alive and out here....

I KNOW! Its been a good 3 weeks since I blogged last. Terribly sorry. I promise I have an update (with pictures) coming soon and ohmygosh "How Do You Know" from the movie Enchanted just came on Pandora--oh! How God understands my late nights! Anyways, sorry again, crazy...that's what life has (seemed to be)/been lately.

Til the update:



Now, at nearly 2a, its time to sleep....being a (pretend for now but currently) future teacher/ English major is enjoyable but a workload sometimes.

Ta-ta for now dear ones!

Please, please, PLEASE...

Let it snow in Huntsville this week!













Ok, I'm done.

Out of our pets, Kiltie would be the only happy one she LOVES to play in snow almost as much as I do. The cats, however, would kill us in our sleep if we dropped them in a big poof of snow (although that cat chasing fish in the frozen pond was pretty funny).

PLEASE SNOW!!

Recent Highlights:

1) Feeling mostly human again, although I still feel worn out. Dang it all.
2) Having da Hubs tell me I should a) write a book b) suggest a cute/funny idea that was along the lines of something I had toyed with doing c) the fact that he believes in me enough to think I could be successful at writing a book d) all of the above
3) Listening to Tim and Em's speel on Today's Letters. You should definitly go listen to it NOW! It's super great and challenging and encouraging :)
4) a lovely weekend w/ da Hubs
5) Having a husband who loves, loves, loves me.
6) Finding out that my mother-in-law is reading my blog (Hi Sue!)
7) Going to bed after this post b/c I am worn out!
8) IT MIGHT SNOW THIS WEEK!!
9) Listening to "Drops of Jupiter" and other Train hits in the coche.
10) Waking up every morning, and after ever nap to da Hubs wonderful whisker kisses. This is one of my favorite things EVER (Next to the time he woke me up from a nap by stroking my cheek, to then kiss my cheek and tell me he just wanted to say that he loves me. Seriously. Bottle that up and stick it in the fridge, I want to save it for forever).
11) It's almost Valentine's Day which is tied for my favorite holiday (it always was as a kid...don't worry Christmas shares the title).
12) It's almost my Beloved's birfday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.

What good is happening in your world?

Oh and...



Goodnight!

Bono, I could use some Miracle Drug please...

My throat region hurts. Well, it feels obnoxiously scratchy and irritated and it's making me cough. But, don't tell Jason b/c I don't want the 'tussion--that stuff is sick! Plus, I'm not coughing that much. Also, D.C. is trying to eat the zipper on my jacket while he sits on my lap....just thought you should know.

I was going to take a picture of my hair b/c I don't think it feels good either and it looks quite rediculous. Note: I rolled out of bed and didn't touch it this morning. My rainboots were the perfect accesory to the dreariness of my appearance too.

The good news is that I have another picture for you to look at in which I look normal aside from that incredibly warm scarf I'm wearing....



I do enjoy that picture, I must say, it gives me a chuckle.

Today's Highlights:

1) Enjoyable rain playing as a soundtrack to my day.
2) Gettin' to wear my rainboots even though I almost BIT IT twice today due to hydroplanning in said boots.
3) Listening to my new (old) CDs--thank-you Half Price Books!
4) Enjoying only having ONE class today...in the AFTERNOON!
5) Leftover pizza for breakfast and lunch. Could I be anymore like a student? By the way, Jason went to 4 different places trying to find Ranch for said pizza to no avail. Welcome to Huntsville where if more than 12 people have the same hankering, everybody else will be out of luck.
6) Coke...and a smile.
7) Having a good schedule for the semester.
8) Being in a class that requires me to be creative.
9) Writing one of my first poems in a very long time.
10) Jason. Need I even explain ?

And, in case you didn't get the reference I made in the title of this post... its a song by U2 and my throat hurts. Miracle Drug + throat hurting...get it? Aye. Maybe my sense of humor needs a miracle drug.

Hope you're having a jolly day!

I lost two weeks...

Seriously? Its been two weeks since I posted last? Geez. Well, I know you all have been beside yourselves without my posts and for that I apologize.

Since my last post:

1) I have studied for/ taken the THEA (Texas Higher Education Assesment).
2) Felt like crap.
3) Felt better.
4) Felt kinda crappy again.
5) Jason felt like crap.
6) da Hubs and I have been the very first customers @ the new Fuzzy's in town.
7) I have since been back a minimum of 4 times. They have been open for a week.
8) Cooked stuff...posts to come eventually.
9) Beemed with pride as Jas made me homemade raviolis FROM SCRATCH. Seriously--he made the dough, which turned into pasta, and he made the marinara sauce! Love my Chef Boyardee! Always glad to be his su-chef...or however you spell that....
10) Attended Relay U in Lufkin in preparation for Relay for Life.
11) Have welcomed the first day of school with some potential computer problems (yay!). Poor Jas, he worked so hard to fix Slick last month and now he's acting up again. Slick must have it out for us.
12) Taken lots of pictures and videos (to post later b/c none of them are on my computer right now).

What's new in your world ?
