about my day.....

calicanadiangirl told me how to make my posts as cool as hers. you know, with color. so i thought that since i am writing about something not so cool like school i would try to make it cool.
well, as you all know, i started school today. my 5 hour break went by pretty quick cause i had so much to do. i went to the health center 3 times, went to go see my international advisor 3 times, had to go to the help desk 2 times, cancelled my school health insurance, had to do an orientation online, went to the tutoring center, had to wait in the book line for 40 mins, went to the campus store twice and then finally had a chance to eat something. by then between visiting with old and new friends, talking to tony on the phone telling him about my day, my 3pm class started in less than a hour. but boy then it seemes like time stood still. i was ready for a nap 20 mins into that class. it was so boring. it's a parenting skills class. i figured i had to have an elective class anyways so why not something that will be useful. it sure will keep me busy throughout the week. you should see the study guide and questions that we have to do each week. it's like 50 questions dues every tues.
well, now that i am home and done a little work online with my nursing course, tony is cooking dinner and it should be ready soon and then i will be going to bed shortly after to get ready for another day of school.
before i go, since tony is watching the weather/news channel seeing the effects of katrina the storm, he has just informed me of how much rain we will be receiving...up to 6 inches by thurs. they say it's enough to flood small creeks, which we live right next to one. we are gonna get slammed. they are also warning our area of tornados. it's gonna start raining in about 2 hours and not stop for 2 days. i hope they cancel school!! :)

UGH.....

i have to go to school tomorrow...for 12 hours nonetheless. no, i don't have classes for 12 hours but because of a 5 hour break between classes it makes my day that long. i have to be up by 6am to leave by 7:20 for my class at 8 which gets out at 10. then my next class is at 3 until 6. i wont get home til 7pm. but anyways, enough about that. camping was great. it was pretty hot both nights. the dogs seemed to love it. we felt bad cause they had to be tied up at all times and they are not used to that so they kept getting tangled. no accidents in the tent so we were happy. when we arrived they never had a water site which i requested when i called on wed so tony was peeved. we took second best. the next morning they said they had a water site come open and asked us if we wanted it. since it was only one site away we took it so they take down and reset up wouldn't be so hard. on sat tony's mum and his 2 nephews and niece came up for the day to swim, eat and fish. mack caught a 16 inch large mouth bass. we got home sun at 3pm and put stuff away, went to his parents house for dinner, then went out to his cousin's house for a couple of hours to party a little and hang out. it was a late night and since we were planning on going to a matinee it was an earlier morning. we went to see, "the 40 year old virgin." it was good but they wasted all the good stuff in the previews. after the movie we did a little shopping in the mall and at walmart. i have been doing laundry since we got home and packing my school bag. i am preparing to go to bed early so good night and talk to you late tomorrow night.

YEAH.....

.....i am going camping today!! :) even though my hair appointment was an hour and 15 mins late and i spent an unexpected hour over at someone's house while they fixed a tent pole on the tent we are using for camping, i got everything accomplished. the jeep is loaded of everything but the cooler and our bag full of clothes. there's barely any room for us or the dogs to ride up to the campsite, which is about an hour away. since i will be gone, i won't be able to post or comment on any blog until tues. i look forward to reading it all when i get back and i will let you know about my last weekend of summer break!! :(
have a good one!

too busy to think.....

i have so much to do today it's hard to keep it all straight. i even got up early to hopefully get it all done. i have to pack clothes, pack up camping supplies (tent, pillows, stove, lantern, sleeping bags, flashlight, blankets, air mattress, pump, matches, propane, fishing poles...am i forgetting anything?!?!) i have to pack the cooler but first i have to go get some more groceries. i have a hair cut at 3pm. i have to load the jeep of all this stuff...i hope it all fits!! i have to take thor to tony's sisters. i have to pack food, toys, leashes, and doggie dishes for the pups. i have to go to the bank. i need to put wood in the jeep. do a load of laundry so we can take our beach towels and bathing suits. i am trying to think if that's everything. we are so looking forward to camping. we are both such outdoorsey people that we really have been deprived of it. it will also be neat to see how the dogs like camping. this will be each their first time. they go swimming with us when we are in the pool, so we know the water shouldn't bother them that much. it will be difficult to do potty breaks at night. normally they will just go downstairs, out the doggie door, do their business then come back upstairs to bed. but we obviously don't want them wandering around in the campsite by themsleves. so it looks like one of us will have ti get up with them in the middle of night, put a leash on them and take them outside of the tent. i just hope we don't have any accidents in the tent.
i should get my stuff done. i'll talk to you again after my whole fun weekend is done...which probably won't be until tues. bye til then

a quick note while taking a quick break.....

well, i am half done my to do list today...i was just taking a short break. i have vaccuumed and cleaned the jeep. i have swept the dirt off the sides of the pool but cannot vaccuum the pool until that dirt settles cause otherwise i would have to clean it twice. since it will be the last cleaning of the year, i have to be thorough. after it is all clean, i will need to dump about 5 gallons of chlorine it and 4-5 shocks and then put the cover on. i was hoping to have one last swim in it before closing it for winter, but the water temp has not been over 70F and its too cold to swim in. i will mow the lawn while i am waiting for the dirt to settle so gotta run.

another busy day.....

my list of things i must do today is not that long but each thing will take quite an amount of time. i have to mow the lawn (i never got it done yesterday because i cleaned the house first and that took me until 4pm. i was gonna do it after but something was wrong with our washer so i called someone over to fix it and that took until 7pm so i thought the lawn could wait one more day.) i also have to clean the pool and clean the jeep. i need to go to tony's parents house to borrow a cooler for our camping trip. oh, wait...i haven't told you about that yet. well, i wanted to go back to school with a bang so i booked my whole last weekend of summer break with fun things to do with tony. he will get home early fri afternoon so we are gonna go camping fri and sat night. on sun, we will do whatever he wants to do that is fun but i told him it has to be something out of the house. on mon, we are going to watertown to see a matinee and possibily do some shopping. i chose a matinee cause then hopefully i won't get to bed too late. so preparing for this weeekend is why my mon, tues, wed and thurs of this week are so busy.
i watched another great movie last night..."a lot like love" with ashton kutchen and amanda peet. usually tony and i will rent movies and watch them together but he watched that movie on his flight to denver on mon and since i wanted to see it so bad, i decided i would watch it alone. for anyone who loves music, you will love this movie. it wasn't a musical or anything but they had alot of good songs playing throughout the movie.
so now that i have told you what i have to do today, i should get started.

all rested and ready for a new day...

yesterday was a reminder of what going back to school will be like...early mornings, being tired all day. except instead of keeping myself occupied cause of not wanting to fall asleep, i won't be allowed to nap due to all the homework and studying that being in school entails. once i get used to the routine i will be fine. for right now, my sleep habits are staying up sometimes as late as 3-4am and getting out of bed at 11am or noon. i am definitely more of a night person. but once i am used to going bed early anywhere between 9 and 11 pm, then getting up at 6 or 8 am shouldn't be so hard. i go through this every time a new semester starts. now that i have all my supplies to start the semester, now it's just a matter of organizing my binders and packing my book bag. then i am all set for what next tuesday morning brings. my first day of school will be an early start and a long day. i have class at 8am til 10. a break from 10 to 3pm and another class 3-6pm.
to start my day off right, i am drinking my usual 2 cups of french vanilla coffee while being on the computer. i have already fed the dogs and our tortoise, thor. as soon as i am ready, i have to strip my bed and wash the sheets and comforter. while that is being washed and dryed, i will mow the lawn...this time without almost breaking the lawnmower. depending on how i feel, i either have to clean the house or clean the pool. but i have to do at least one today and the other tomorrow. after working so hard, to get rid of the gringe on me, i will have a shower. sometime today i also have to run to town for a few things. first things first, i will finish my cup of coffee then go get the mail and get to work after. so as you can see, i gotta get a movin'.

i am so exhausted.....

without a doubt, today was a very busy day. i got up at 7:30 am to be at the school by 9. and of course, my two friends who i was meeting was late so we actually walked into the school at about 9:30. by the time waiting in line and getting all our books was over, it was 11am. me and one of friends went to get chinese for lunch and left the restaurant 45 mins later for walmart. the next 3 hours were spent shopping and i could have stayed longer. i love walmart. even if i have nothing to buy i always walk out of there with something i decided that i absolutely could not live without. my list for what i bought at walmart today are: white shirts for clinical, a counter sinker set for tony, a toothbrush, 1 t-shirt and the cutest thing was a baby rug. normally i would not have boughten it but it was on sale and so adorable. even if i am not pregnant right now it's not like a rug will go to waste. i can use it whenever we need it and that's how i justified buying it!! it being almost 4pm by the time i reached richville i stopped at my parents-in-laws knowing that if i went home i would have probably just fallen asleep. since i was there, i packed up stuff we needed for our camping trip. we borrowed their tent, 2 sleeping bags, a camp stove, 6 cans of propane to heat the stove, a lantern and other small camping necessities. after my sister-in-law returned home from her first day at her new job i had to hear all about it. she is a nurse at the hospital closest to where we live. it was getting pretty late and i thought i better go home to go check on our 2 puppies who by this time have been left alone for 11 hours. being home now and still not wanting to fall asleep since i was so tired and it kinda still being too early, i phoned my mum cause, i am ashamed to admit, i have not spoken to for 2-3 weeks. we talked for an hour and 45 mins and that's when tony beeped in. after, i spent about 30 mins on the internet checking some things like the bank account and since i had not sat down practically the whole day, i figured it would be safe to turn on the tv cause even if i fell asleep, it was late enough. i watched about 35 mins of tv before realizing how tired i was and sat down at the computer one last time for the night to write this post to you all to say good night. tomorrow i will not be surprised if i sleep in, so don't expect me to post anything too early in the am.

what did i do today

what i did today...??? NOTHING. tony left early this morning and will be gone until friday afternoon.
i am only 9 days away from starting another semester. i am going to the campus tomorrow morning to pick up my official schedule and buy any books i will need for my classes. after i am going to walmart to buy some school supplies and white shirts that i need to wear for clinical. sounds exciting, doesn't it!!!
i was reunited with a friend who i haven't seen or talked to since sept '01. she came across my blog site thanx to calicanadiangirl. so now that we both have blogs and know each others email address we should be able to keep in better touch and hopefully not another 4 years will pass until we talk again!! :) i make jokes like that cause i know we are both very bad at keeping in touch but this should help a bit. i hope i don't get into too much trouble from her when she reads this!!
well enough of my boring day. as you can see by me trying to keep this site updated by posting something new each day, i don't have much to write about. i will try to find something interesting to write soon. thanx for reading this junk!

party time...

today was tony's nephew birthday party. the party started at 2pm and when we got there it was madness...there were total about 10 six year old boys and two girls running around yelling and screaming, "you're dead, i shot you." they were obviously playing some sort of bad guy-good guy game with play guns. once we rounded up the herd, we ate pizza. mack, the birthday boy, wanted to open presents next but with the weather looking like it was going to rain soon, his parents thought it best to do the pinuata (i know i spelt it wrong but it's the thing that gets filled with candy and kids who are blindfolded swing at it to bust it open and make all the candy fall out) first since they wanted it done outside. each kid took their turn to hit it but it was too high and they weren't hitting it hard enough so the thing probably sustained about 200 hits until it cracked. it was funny, as soon as they saw candy fall out of scooby doo they ran for it, never mind the kid who is blindfolded still swinging!! finally, time to open presents. i never got a good enough look at the gift opening with all the kids huddled watching him and even if i did, i wouldn't remember half the stuff anyways. by then it was about 4:30...roughly the time kids were start getting picked up by their parents. i guess the men had had enough with all the noise cause they went in the garage to play texas horse shoes while the women drank coffee sitting at the kitchen table talking. but where are the kids.....???? they were playing outside by the garden with two older boys who were supervising and wrestling with them. what a good idea to invite them!! :) me and tony left around 5:30 so we could have a nice relaxing peaceful night to ourselves since he was leaving the next morning. we watched the movie,"coach carter." which was a very good movie and i would recommend it to anyone who has not seen it.
enough about my day...it's time for bed.

all by myself...

well, i am all alone in the blogging world for the next 4-5 days. my one blogger sister, bezsays, went to california with my neice and her husband to see disneyland and the ocean to visit my other blogger sister, calicanadiangirl, who lives there with her fiance. but with tony home, i will be kept company and we got stuff to do. today, we have help to tear out a wall in our kitchen to expand the laundry room and once that project is finished we have to go to walmart cause tony's nephew birthday party is tomorrow. speaking of his nephew, we are also supposed to be going to see, "Valiant," with his two nephews, sister and bro-in-law later tonight. then tomorrow, we have the bday party at 2pm and the we will have the night to ourselves to do whatever we want!! :)
so have fun to my two sisters. i will miss your posts.

what am i doing today, you ask...??

today, with my sister-in-law and her 3 kids and of course with my husband, we are going to the beach with a picnic and to swim. it's pretty exciting cause last summer the weather was so crappy we didn't get to go camping/swimming or picnicing at the beach. and with this summer being as hectic as it was (planning a wedding and buying a house) there was no time for the beach even though the weather would have definitely permitted it. so needless to say, we are all very excited...especially the kids. her kids are 6, 3 & 1. the two oldest are boys and the youngest is a girl. i remember last time being at the beach with his sister, 2 summers ago, we got wrestling trying to drag each other in the water...with our clothes still on nonetheless. i remember her ripping my shirt, which at that time was one of my favorite shirts. i am over it now but when it happened boy was i mad. HAHA. the thiungs we can look back on and laugh over now.
so with this upcoming adventure, i must go and prepare.

relaxed...

it's nice to have a laptop that is capable of internet. but to accomodate the internet on the laptop you must have wireless internet in your home...which we have both. i can do two of my favorites things. i am on the computer constantly checking my blog site and my two sisters and watching TV...and i am doing all this sitting on my big, comfy couch!! ahhh, all i need now is a nice, cold beer and perhaps a snack but not too big cause i have to save room for the dinner i have to cook for my husband and eat with him when he gets home.
it's good to me...for now!!

i am so proud of myself...

today, by me just doing my duties as a wife, a home owner and a pet owner, a committed reader to my blog site, my sister, calicanadiangirl, was inspired by my productive day. so inspired that she, after a 3 hour nap with only one disturbing phone call to interrupt her sleep, got up to clean her kitchen. which she says looks very pretty. i applaude her. hooray for KM!! and to think my productive day isn't quite over. how will she ever keep up!! :) now that my husband is on his way home, i not only have to cook for him so he can eat, i'll have to reclean my kitchen which will most definitely get dirty again with all the cooking that will be going on in there. maybe i should have my sister clean it for me. after all, apparentely, she did a wonderful job cleaning hers.

don't get too excited...nothing interesting here to read!!! :)

as i sit in a state of thought not knowing what to write, i drink french vanilla flavored coffee (that's my favorite) staring at the screen and keyboard. i am on the phone with my other blogger sister talking about what i should write. she told me my first post was more interesting than hers but i realize that's all i got. i got nothing more to write. so i wasted all my good stuff on one blog. her and my other sister, who also blog, seem to have no trouble finding something to write. so why me??
i will tell you about my day...i was going to clean the house then turned on the vaccuum to find the belt was broken, so i swept the whole house, which works out well cause only one room in our house is carpeted i just vaccuum the hard wood floors cause it is easier...but not today. after cleaning the house it was time to clean our pool...it was dirty. while i cleaned the pool i noticed alot of dog pooh around the pool and deck so then i was on doggie duty. while doing that i noticed there were alot of weeds around the pool and deck so i weeded. after i was so hot i thought it was time to come inside. since i had not eaten all day yet, i ate some ritz crackers with jalapeno cheese (also one of my favorites) and chips with dip. now i will sit down and relax until my honey gets home from the airport...which should be around 1230am...i know it's a long way away. but at least i have something to look forward to...and as for you after reading this boring, drawn out blog i know you wil be looking for something much more interesting to do.

good night

i am just writing to say good night. i am not really going to bed but i do have to cook cause my husband is expected home in 20 mins and i figured once he got home and ate and we watched a movie, "The Wedding Date" then it would time for bed. so since i won't be on again tonight...good night, sweet dreams, and talk to you tomorrow.

my 1st posting...

Well, this is my first posting on my new blog site. Usually I am retarded towards this kind of computer stuff but we'll see how well this works. Don't except too much from me though. I am a newly wed of not even two months, a college student of two years with a year and a half to go, and preparing to be a mother.
I knew my fiance for two years and seven and half months before our wedding. Actually it was me who proposed in January 2004. He then felt it was his obligation to pursue and proposed 6 days later. Either way, he is an American and meet me in Leduc, AB, Canada. He is a pilot for Air Wisconsin Airlines and I happened to work at the Edmonton International Airport. But that's not how we met. My roommate at the time was dating a pilot from the same airline and the two of them set up on a blind date. We moved to New York in July 2003 so I could attend school. Here in upstate NY at least we are close to his family. And after all that, here we are.
So anyways, I am in school to become a RN. Nothing else to say about that...that explains it all.
As for me, actually us, preparing to be parents...we are trying to get pregnant. Again, that says it all...unless you want details!! :)
Well that's all from me for my first posting. Enjoy!
