yesterday sucked ass

yeah so the day started off with my bag breaking,dumping my shit everywhere, the fucking librarian didnt have the damn test i was supposed to do for math so i couldnt take it, so hopefully the absent minded idiotic math teacher

then for my advertising concepts class,(in this class we were presented with a client, who was the conductor of the local orchestra, we were told to re-brand the orchestras corporate identity,so we split into groups. Each team was to come up with there own plan.for the logo,business package, TV spot, promotional items, fundraising ideas, revamp there concert poster, email blasts and even social media pages.) This was supposed to be a TEAM project. one of the members in my group was gone for 4 weeks, (one week i wont count since her grandma passed, but the other 3 were just excuses) So basically John and i did the logo by ourselves because she was gone, and then he started working on the TV spot, and i did everything else.And the entire time our instructor was hounding us, because we weren't turning out the amount of work we were supposed to have each week, well go figure, john kept forgetting his shit, and Anna was never there.anyways the shit gets done at least, and i was a nice person i didn't flip out or freak out or lose my temper on either of them, when i wanted to.......so last night.


i had to pay for ALL the colored prints for our process books(one for the instructor,one for the client and because our group was having so many issues, we each personally had to turn in a process book of our personal work on the project. Works out in my advantage since i did everything)but they didnt kick in the money cost me 22 dollars in colored prints.,both of them knew at the beginning of class that i am on a very limited budget,that i live pay check to pay check.to make matters worse John didnt have anything done,and didnt give us his digital files for the presentation,that Anna ended up fucking up by ALL the WRONG FUCKING PHOTOS, in the damn power point, and then they made ME fucking do 90% of the damn presentation,Needless to say, they didnt like our work, said it was generic and had nothing to do with a world class orchestra, but they liked the poster and the t shirt design that i did, and the shitty deck of cards that She tossed in at the last moment.

on top of everything that went wrong, my step-dad forgot that he was supposed to pick me up. he was about 45 minutes late :(

Just the right song, to put things into perspective

Just one of those days.....makes you go hmmmmmm......grr...hmmm

Happy New Year! Extreme Rant!

Yeah i think this is where i am going to make my new years resolution. Because after some long hard thinking over the last couple of weeks of break, i have decided i am going to start fading out some of the people that say they are friends but aren't true friends. The ones that make plans and dont follow through. The ones that i call up and say hey whatcha doing this coming up weekend, and i make attempt to do something and they blow me off. I am so tired of it. I play nice and cool when they blow me off, but they never say i'm sorry or say hey something came up they dont even fucking call.

Yeah i get that your married, or you got work, or you got kids, or you got a bad combination of the 3 or whatever the situtation may be. I can work around your schedule, i always have. I am a true loyal friend, wont talk shit behind your back, wont steal your man, wont steal from you, ill answer your phone call 3.am when your crying about something that happened. I listen to your whining about your man, or his ex. the dogs the kids, the ttc conversations. I listen to those that are having baby's basically rub it in my face. when i say politely can we change the subject. they just keep talking about the same shit they were talking about. Hell im not perfect, i am far from it, i know i am boring as hell and sometimes bossy. i try not to be. I know i put a damper on every party because im the chick with the oxygen, always wonder if somethings gonna happen. I know you dont like shopping with me because i walk slow or whatever. But i listen, and i hold you and i help you and im there for you. HOW BOUT FUCKING ASKING ABOUT ME FOR A CHANGE! Asking how i am doing, when you see me silently looking like i am about cry. Come put your arm around me and give me a slight hug. Seriously if i stopped for 1 minute being ME and acted like some of you treat me or your other friends. The world would be a cold and dark place..... So yea with the new year here and now. I am going to make time for those who matter most. Those who make time for me and my family. Yeah i have a family i got a sexy lil hubby and two tiny kitties ant much right now but they are mine. And they love me.

Beautiful Poem

Do not stand at my grave and weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,

I am the softly falling snow.

I am the gentle showers of rain,

I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,

I am in the graceful rush

Of beautiful birds in circling flight,

I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,

I am in a quiet room.

I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave bereft

I am not there. I have not left.

This beautiful poem made me feel content for the ones i have lost recently and i felt like sharing.

A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS

A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS

'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
and to see just who in this little house lived.

As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No Stockings by mantle, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.

With medals and badges, awards of all kinds,
A sobering thought came through my mind.

For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
The home of a soldier, I could now see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
Not how I picture a United States Soldier.

Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?

I realized the families that I saw this night,
owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.

Soon round the world, the children would play,
and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day.

They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wondering how many lay alone,
on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.

The very thought brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to one knee and started to cry.

The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry, for this life is my choice".

I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more,
My life is my God, my country, my corps."

The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,
as we both shivered from the cold night's chill.

I didn't want to leave, on that cold, dark night,
this guardian of honor, so willing to fight.

Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,
whispered, "Carry on Santa...., It's Christmas Day...., All is secure.

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend.... and to all a Good Night.

Retrospect.

Man just seems like this year has flown by, with everything. I cant believe its already less then two weeks until Christmas. A lot of things have happened in the past year. A lot of happy moments, and some not happy at all. We got married in March, it was beautiful, the backyard was turned into a magical place. My baby sister Graduated, then grandma got sick and we lost her :( I struggled through school with the grief. Still having a hard time with it. We went to see Toby Keith in concert, with Trace Adkins & James Otto. In that same week we also saw Ted Nugent both were really cool, i was dead tired after all that. Then the unthinkable happened we lost grandma Irene to an aneurysm. Three short months after loosing Grandma Bieker we lost Grandma Irene. The family is visibly shaken up, i thank the heavens that Robert was here for me during all of this, i certainly needed him. We moved into our own apartment at the beginning of sept, and adopted two cute little black kittens. Spooky & Spunky, only a couple months apart but balls of fun for sure. Now with the year coming to a close, i am curious to find out what 2011 has in store for us.

Writing Challenge

I will continue to do it at my own pace. I have a problem with making it back to the blog everyday, i have a life that keeps me on my toes constantly. Sure hope you all understand, I mean after all i have like 4 people that read my blog. :( oh well

54 year old woman.

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.

While on the operating table she had a near death experience.. Seeing God
she asked "Is my time up?"

God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a
face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.

She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her
teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as
well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing
the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had
another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the
ambulance?"

(You'll love this)

God replied: "Shit! I didn't recognize you."

Day 10

A photo taken over 10 years ago of you

and how it makes you feel seeing it now.

This is a photo of me at 3 years of age, judging by the tile flooring and the fridge it was taken at my great grandmothers house. Seeing this photo makes me smile, because it was rare to catch a happy photo of be growing up between the ages 1-6 because of the hospital stays and the surgeries. It also makes me smile because i know that my family loves me enough to make sure i made it all these years, i know it had to have been hard. I love you all.

And i was right about 2 weeks later we broke up, and i put this sexy ass photo of myself on a dating website, about 2 weeks later i met the sweetest guy in the whole wide world.

Day 5

Your favorite quote

"This to shall pass" is one of my favorite quotes. It is short, simple and says everything. When life keeps throwing curve balls at me, and everything just seems to not being going as planed a little part of me thinks about this quote. And how happiness is right around the corner if i only just wait and be patient it will reveal its self in due time. Seems like everything takes forever these days, and sometimes when your not paying attention to the little details, such as time, it seems to blur past you at a lightening speed that does nothing but astonish you. Today is our one year anniversary of the day we met. I remember wondering when i was going to meet someone that would change everything for me. Someone i could count on, lean on, and have forever. I dont know what i did to finally get what i wanted. All i know is i thank the heavens above and whoever is running the show every single day. Because i truly do not know what i would do with out that silly man of mine. With him by my side i do believe that we can face our obstacles together and that " this to shall pass"

Day 3 & 4

Well i missed yesterday because i was stuck at school, and busy with other things. Then i came home and watched a Robin Hood with Robert. Which was a very good movie, we did stop at my moms to wish Troy a happy birthday. So after doing all that, i spaced doing my day 3. So Samantha reminded me, i believe i will combine day 3 and 4. So tomorrow i will be back on track.

A television show has moved you.

There have been many shows that have moved me over the years, but i would have to say. Extreme Make Over : Home Edition with Ty Pennington. I love that show, how they help a worthy family by rebuilding there dreams. I have seen a lot of the episodes, and each one has touched me in a way. It has shown me there are still people in this world that care about other people. That our neighbors do value our friendship. That maybe just maybe, we have a chance in getting out of a bad situation. Just makes you feel good inside when you see a family get what they need and deserve.

Your favorite book

That would have to be, Nicholas Sparks: the Notebook. That is one of my all time favorite books. It just speaks to you, the honest love that a man has for a woman. The poetry involved with in the book is just beautiful. So before you watch the movie, that is WONDERFUL as well. Please take the time read the book. It is better.

Day 2

Favorite Movie

Ah, again with the hard questions.why ? Because i love movies, the good ones the bad ones and the strange ones. Favorite movie, well i guess the bigger question would have to be are you asking for favorite childhood movie, or adult movie? And i am not talking nasty porn im talking something with a nine year old in mind. Or maybe your asking favorite movie that has a special meaning or memory.

Favorite childhood movie is Beauty and the Beast. I have always loved that movie, from the first time i saw it, until just recently with my niece. I love Gaston getting tossed into the mud with the pigs where he belongs. And Bell with her books, i swear to this day she is the reason i read so much as a kid. But when she finally started to change the beasts heart, and they danced in the ball room. I loved how Mrs. Potts sang " Tale old as time". So with that being said, still to this day, i love the movie.

Favorite "adult" movie, I would have to say is Grumpy Old Men, I love it grouchy old dudes duking it out on the iced over pond with there fishing poles. To the new red headed neighbor they both have the hots for. The funny as hell comments from Gustafson's dad are freaking hilarious, Jack Lemmon reminds me of my grandpa. Even looks like him to. I guess i watch it because of that also.

So instead of a favorite movie i gave you all two :)

shhhhh! i have another movie playing.

Day 1

A song that reminds you of your child or that you cant listen to anymore and why.

A song that reminds me of child hood. hmm that is a tough one. I know this is gonna sounds silly but, Lynard Skynard : Sweet Home Alabama. Why, Well because i can trace just about any childhood memory back to that song. No im not from the deep south, or do i have some sick crazy obsession with the band. ( although i do love there music). I think about riding in our family's boat, cruising over the water with out a care in the world. letting it Blair for nature to hear. When i hear the first couple cords of the song, I just cant help but smile and and start to bob my head with the music. Just makes me feel great. And at the same time it is moderately bitter sweet since the i haven't had that family feeling with my dad in years. I cant actually remember what the conversation was that i had with him last where we weren't fighting or where i wasn't listening to him lie to me. It has been 2 years and 2 months since the last time i saw him in person, and its been about 2 years since we spoke. It is my only hope that where ever he is, that he is safe, and hopefully better.

where ever you are dad, please remember i love you.

Small update

Well, i went and saw the Dr. on Monday, she was able to get me in as a walk in, which was real lucky on my part, being a new patient n all. She prescribed an awesome antibiotic that will kick the hell out of the infection i have, hopefully this time next week I will be feeling back to normal, well at least as normal as i get.

As for school, so far so good, got week 2 out of the way, 9 to go, is it just me or does this year seem to be slipping by in a hurry. Just yesterday i was planning my wedding, now we are coming up on 4 months being married, wow, time sure does fly when your not paying attention..
