"lucky im in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where i have been"

im quite lucky to have been where i have been. i really wouldn't be HERE if i hadn't first been THERE. THERE was sometimes great, sometimes terrible, but always quite telling. always pushing me to get to somewhere. maybe that somewhere was HERE? i don't want to jump the gun but i think i am almost HERE.

anyways. HERE i am, finally deciding on a degree. No more early childhood education. i will be double majoring in english and secondary education. at this point, i'll ask you to forget all my capitalization errors. this isnt for credit ;)

soooo... one of two things is going to happen HERE. either... i am going to find out that i am a terrible writer, and im going to bullshit my way through an english degree OR i am going to steadily develop my writing and comprehension and teaching skills and become a teacher.

i am thinking it will be the first one.

Found this online today on a website called "Things My GF and I Have Arguments About."

"

A Few Concepts Margret Continues To Have Trouble Assimilating:

It's possible to stop buying plants.

Can you please leave me alone, I'm on the lavatory.

Ikea is just another shop.

I asked you if you wanted any, I asked you - now stop eating it off my plate.

One may have a thought and not say it. This does not make me insular, it merely separates me from you and that mad woman who's always shouting at the pigeons outside the supermarket.

They're just nail clippings. Nail clippings must be the most inert thing on the planet, how can anyone seriously have a problem with nail clippings? You might as well freak out with, 'Bleuuuurrggh - helium!' Really - just get a hold of yourself. So you've walked barefoot across the bathroom and you find this has resulted in a nail clipping or two sticking to the bottom of your foot; well, simply brush them off into the bin - they're just nail clippings."

This basically describes my relationship with my husband. Nail clippings are disgusting, you should at least be able to verbally describe what you are thinking, your food=my food, and no I will not leave you alone just because you are on the can. The end!

I almost cheated with the whole FB given up for Lent thing. Only day 2, and I am already contemplating cheating!!!

We are leaving for Disney World tomorrow morning at 9am. So excited! Celebrating Steve's 26th birthday - what an old man! I am bringing my laptop and Spanish book for studying in the car... a grand total of 14 hours in the car this weekend should be PLENTY of time to edit my essay, study for Spanish, and complete a few other assignments.

This semester has FLOWN by. I hope the next 76 semesters fly by as well :P

SEE YOU IN DISNEY WORLD :) :) :)

UPDATE: this did NOT work

____________________________________

"Because the POINT of ALL THIS.... is to make more records."

Actually the point of all this is to grow in the Lord. I have given up THEfacebook.com for Lent. A lot of people would not really find that a difficult thing to do. I am NOT one of them. Facebook distracts me like nothing else and I am quite embarrassed to say so. Instead of homework: FACEBOOK. Instead of playing with the dog: FACEBOOK. Instead of listening when my husband talks to me: FACEBOOK.

I AM GOIN COLD TURKEY!! Forty days without that social networking. And the key is this: what will I replace it with?

MY RULES:

1) I will not even check my notifications.
2) I will not log on for lame excuses like "BUT STACEY HAD HER BABY AND I WANNA SEE PICS"
3) When I go on the computer and ALMOST type in facebook, I will instead fill up that moment with a prayer for my husband. I have got to start praying for him more. God has really put it on my heart that as a wife I should have my mind on my husband in a positive way and pray for him. SO THAT'S WHAT I WILL DO.
4) Instead of wasting my time on FB I will go play with the dog or open up the Bible. IF I CAN FIND THE THING.

Let's see what life looks like un-networked.
