long day

I was out late last night and didn’t get much sleep.  Mom woke me up early so we could go out all day as a family.  It was fun.  We had lunch and then shopped and ran errands all day.  Went for a nice drive, etc etc etc.  It was one rare time that we all got along real well and I really enjoyed the time.  Its rare…but I am happy.  I realized that I need to savor those moments the most…and I have been working hard on being more agreeable and friendly.  Plus, I will be leaving for school and not seeing my family much or being at home very much at all for the next 6 months, so I am trying to enjoy all of my time now.  I don’t really get homesick that much, but I do miss family…and my own room, car, and comfort of the house/city is great as well.

But, after running around all day, I am tired.  I am going to work on some little odds and ends for a bit and then take a relaxing bath.  I want to really concentrate and enjoy the rest of my break…cuz I won’t have one for a long while.

I think I may do ear candles tonight as well.  If you don’t know what they are, wiki them or look up on google.  I believe they work…and I haven’t done them in a very long time, so I am due.  I will enjoy that as well.

Maybe a family game of upwords or Yahtze will end my evening.

2007 is on its way out, and 2008 is soon approaching.  2007 has been a very memorable and eventuful year for me.  I will remember it for many reasons.  I will try to write a re cap blog or something.  Its been a pretty good year, and I hope the same for 08.

I am trying to drink more water – a doctor of a family member said that is the best thing you can do for your body – and also try to eat a lot healthier…and less.   Working out and loosing weight are new years resolutions – which will most certainly fail.

Bummer.

too many people

So I decided to be motivated today and do some things.  I have a VERY limited time left at home and civilized life with a car and shopping, etc.  I go to school in the boonies next weekend.  I am excited, but will miss home and the advantages it has.  However, I will be so glad to be back at college and be surrounded by my friends again.

So I sized my watch today and got that all taken care of.  I am glad its done.  Check one.  And the lady was very nice, which I appreciated!  I then went on a little drive looking and scoping some things out.  Stopped by work to pick up my pay stub so they didn’t murder me for leaving it there.  Then I headed for the mall.  I took the back way because I wanted to avoid traffic.  It was rainy and gross…and people get crazy when it is like that and lots of accidents occur.  So, I played it safe and stayed out of traffic for the most part.  The mall was absolutely packed.  I drove all the way there, so I kinda wanted to take advantage of it, but there were so many people (who were RUDE and ignorant) so I just decided to get in and get out.  I had to park 03924902384 miles away and then i fought through the crowd to look at Hollister, Gap, AE and Aero.  Hollister was LAME…nothing new…and kinda busy…so I just left.  Gap was nice.  Didn’t see anything (other than thermal tees – YES!) that tickled my fancy…so I moved on to AERO.  It was a MESSSSSSS!  I couldn’t even walk around.  I wouldn’t have went in if I didn’t have a gift card there.  But I couldn’t really look and everything was a mess, so I just left there too.  I stopped by AE and got my sweater vest (yes!) and waited 15 mins in line to pay for it.  REDIC!  Then I figured I deserved Starbucks for all of that…so I got a venti Carmel Frap – no whip to go.  I enjoyed it on my drive home, which I took the back roads again – but a different way.  I got home, helped mom with her digi picture frame.  We ate dinner, ran to wal mart real quick – And the creepies were out!  Came back home and we all watched EVAN ALMIGHTY as a family.  It was a cute/nice little bonding time.  And the movie wasn’t too bad.  I worked on loading all of my pictures to MY digi picture frame during the movie.  I am catching up on blogs (and blogging here), and facebook for now.  Prolly gonna meet up with some ppl later…after all it is a friday.  Oh how I would love to be at school right now.  Probably be a lot more fun than right now, but I am enjoying home.

This weekend we will be doing a few more family things.  I am still working on New Year’s plans.  I have a HUGE to do list that must be done before next friday/saturday when I move back.  Packing, shopping, errands, etc etc etc.  I have to visit some ppl and get some little tasks completed (hopefully this weekend if things work right).  And then I will celebrate 2008 by packing and getting shit ready for school!  woo!

peace until later (probably tomorrow)
