Well, the long awaited pictures have arrived. Ok, maybe they weren't long awaited, but I wanted to put them on here anyway so you guys could catch a glimpse of him. I had a great weekend with him. We went to the aquarium Saturday and to Art openings in New Orleans. So much fun.
Last night around 1 o'clock Scott decided he couldn't procrastinate any longer and left for Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was so hard to tell him bye. I knew that it would only be 20 days and he would be back, but still, it was hard. He's driving as I type this. I hope he makes it there safely.
I don't know....I can't think of much to say today. Still full of thoughts but can't pinpoint one to type about. Maybe later.

Your Lifetime Has Come
Ok, so about the new fella (Bennett, this one's for you). His name is Scott Wallace. He and I grew up together. He is about 4 years older than me and was in the same grade as my brother in school. We went to church together. I had a huge crush on him when I was little, but I never said anything to him because my friend was dating him. I'm not one to butt into relationships like that (or at least I've tried not to be). He liked me but since I was 12 and he was 16, thought it best that he didn't act on his feelings. I mean come on, I was a little twerp and he was in high school. So anyway, we grew up. He joined the Air Force and I went to college. Seven years later, after many changes in both of our lives, we met up again. We started talking a little but lost contact. Fast forward to about three weeks ago. He came down to Keesler to take classes for his E7 badge or whatever the heck all that stuff is (yeah, I'm not up on the lingo for military). He gave me a call and we started hanging out.
It's been great. He has such a huge heart. He is one of maybe two guys that I have dated that actually completely cared about God's will for his life. It makes my heart glad to know that all those things I put in for when I was asking God for a relationship are filled by each and every one of Scott's characteristics. It's amazing.
So there's your cheese. I don't mind cheezin it up for a little bit. I've got to some time.

Something New is in the Air
You're green, Patrick.....green.
Something new, something cool, something quite wonderful is happening. I guess I should say now that I am no longer a member of the "single's club". I am now an official member of the "couples". Yes folks, my time has arrived. (May I add, it's about dang time!!!)
No, I'm not going to get big headed about this. Can't you tell? Actually, to be completely honest, I'm so excited. A wonderful guy, who I've known for a very long time has popped into my life, and I'm so thankful. He's a great man. I adore him. God has something working here that makes my heart very full, even cheesey.
Aside from the whole relationship, things with the Blazer are good. I'm working on getting the kinks worked out of it. I have to get my tag still. I need to get the brake lights fixed. They were messed up before I bought the thing. Joe agreed to pay for the repairs if I would just take it to get it fixed. I'm down with that.
I've decided that classes are a definite. I'll be starting this summer. I've just got to make sure the funds are there. I'm looking at about $120 dollars if I do decide to take them. That's not bad at all.
Little did you guys know that I had a crazy spring break week a couple of weeks ago. I chose to leave my doggy at home while I traveled to Iuka to do business. Keep in mind that this was the first time I had ever left my dog at home with someone. Usually I just load him up and take him with me. This time I decided to give someone a chance to prove they were responsible. Little did I know that they would prove me wrong. On my way home that Tuesday night I got a phone call. My friend told me that my doggy ran away. I cried like a big baby. I was soooo sad. I was only gone three days and he left on the second day!! Broke my heart.
One week and a day later, I got a call from the Humane Society. They thought they had my doggy. I had put out flyers everywhere. I had given one to the Humane Society just in case someone brought him in because he didn't have tags on. Sure enough a lady brought him in and there he was. It was a miracle!! I was sooo excited. I left work early and picked him up. It cost me forty two dollars, but he was worth it. Every bit of it.
So now I have a dog, a boyfriend and a job. Things are good for now. We'll see how this goes.

Pimp my Ride
Well, I sold my car today. It felt strange handing my car keys over to someone I hardly knew and feeling the crispness of 100 dollar bills being placed in my hand. I almost felt dirty. I got $3000 for it (which is good) and put it in the bank for my down payment on Joe's Blazer. I picked up the Blazer tonight. Nice.
I'm contemplating my next step. This is huge for me. I've never decided to take on a responcibility such as this one. It's exciting and scarey all at once. I know I can handle it though. I have decided to take more classes. I'm going to start back on my MBA in the summer. I might as well finish this if I'm going to start it, right? I guess it will be worth it. Not to mention, it'll help the cost of my insurance. We'll see how this goes.
Haven't walked in a week. Not a good thing. I know I'm going to feel it when I start back this week. EEK! Oh well, that's what I get for being a bum. It made me feel good when I came home though. Mom and dad both thought I looked nice and could tell a difference. Bought time!!! I was beginning to wonder if it was worth all the work. It made me feel even better when they encouraged me to keep up the good work. Good mommy and daddy. I've got to start doing morning and night now though. April is approaching and I'm running out of time! Gotta get the move on.
Well, I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. I'd better get some rest. Until again. I'm watching you.

Tid-Bit of Info.
Well, I thought this would interesting to share. I talked to Joe, my brother, and found out that he got promoted at work. He is now the Regional Loss Prevention Man for Hibbett's Sports in the state of Mississippi. I am very proud of him. Also, he is moving to Jackson, MS!! Realizing that he will only be three hours away, I am very exciting about this fact! I'll be able to visit him and hang out. Good stuff.
Anyway, he has to get rid of his Blazer in order to make room for other things he would like. I told him that I wanted it. I do I do!! I want his blazer. So, I'm trying to sell my Lumina. I'm asking 3750.00 or best offer. So if you know anyone that wants a good car that is in good shape (has a lot of miles but mainly those are interstate miles) and needs a home, let me know. I've got to get rid of it before this month is over.
That's the 411 right now. Nothing much else is happening. I do think that I have a crush on someone though. Even if I am a little bit older to have a crush, I still do. More on that at a later date.

Back from the Dead
You know I really shouldn't be up this late, but I wanted to give you people hope. I was sitting here trying to figure out how to conquer a game of Spider solitaire, when I realized that it's been ages since I've posted and I'm terrible for taking so long. Things have been really hectic lately. I'm glad for that, but I wish I had a break. I hate working. If I could be a stay at home whatever every day, I would. I hate working. Did I say that already?
Anyway, things have been good. I guess that's the best way to put it. Work has kept me busy with new students coming in and getting ready for the fall. Already. I'm setting up appointments with high schools and community colleges alike to stop by and drop off some things. I have to visit MGCCC campuses for the next two months. I've got to get the summer schedules out to the high school teachers so they'll hit us up for the summer term. I'm sure you guys want to know all of this. Sorry. Basically, I've got a lot of busy work to take care of.
I've definitely been able to identify the two things I hate the most about my job.
Item #1: I hate telling someone who definitely deserves to come to school that they cannot attend our school because of stupid reasons defined by people that are higher up than me. (I'm the one who sees these people get angry, upset, confused, sad, disappointed, etc.)
Item #2: I hate the fact that there are some people who hate doing their job more than I do and refuse to either wait on the students who come in or ANSWER THEIR FREAKIN PHONES!!! How hard is it to pick up a phone and say, "May I help you?" GRRRRRRR!!! That gets on my nerves!
So anyway, enough about that. I've been working out. Now this is the part I don't understand. You would think that after working out every day for a month that I would at least have lost some weight or something. I can't even tell a difference. I've been watching what I eat too. I dunno. Kinda makes me a little perturbed though. I can tell I have more leg muscles poppin out and I've lost some inches there. I can tell my (pardon) butt is perkier. Aside from that, I really can't tell much more of a difference. Hopefully that will change soon. I'm cutting back more on my food and eating more rabbit food.
I've also put myself on a budget. I'm really am trying to get it into gear. I got tired of feeling like a slug and knocked myself around a bit and things are happening. We'll see how this budget thing goes. I've never really been that great at keeping up with my money. I mean, I've never been in debt, but I haven't tried not to be. Make sense?
My dog was barking in his sleep a minute ago. It's the cutest thing. I always wonder what he's dreaming about or if he is dreaming. He's so little, he may be dreaming about chasing a great big dog and actually catching him (because he stopped barking). Speaking of my dog, I think he's gay. I don't want to think he is, but there have been too many instances that has proven my theory. He just doesn't give the women the attention. He likes to do things that are embarrassing to see over and over again when he meets boy doggies. I mean, I know he's a dog, and they do gross things like sniff each other's butts and lick certain areas. I just don't think there is an excuse for him to continue after a hour!! I can't take him anywhere. He just chases the boy dogs and licks them. People are weirded out by that. I dunno. I still love him. I need to get him a girlfriend or a nice fluffy toy to take his aggression out on. Craziness.
Bedtime. I've got to get some sleep or I won't be able to convince myself to get up and walk today. Laters peeps.

I'm a SLUG
Every been in the situation where you want to write something but nothing comes to you? That's where I've been the last couple of weeks. I've had plenty to write about, but I've been a slug and pretty much just slacked off. I do this periodically. You'll get used to it.
Anyhow, back at work again. Nothing much happening here. I've been recruiting for the college lately. I'm not that good at it. I have a problem begging people to attend a college that is the most untraditional college there is. Basically, I love the school, but it's got nothing to offer on the Coast campus except school. People coming out of high school do not want to hear that the college they are going to attend does not have sports, theatre, music, clubs or anything. It's pitiful. Hattiesburg campus has everything. I get so disappointed sometimes when I think about how active I was at Northeast and how completely unactive I've become. BLAH! Gross!
Gotta jet. I've got to get an Airborne over to Courthouse road before I miss the run.
Keep it up fellas!

It Takes My Pain Away
I guess today I'm reflecting more on things that are happening. January 8 one of my fellow classmates and friends passed away. He committed suicide. I don't understand how people come to that decision. It's crazy. What really gets to me is that I had spoken with him just a day or two before. He didn't say anything that would even lead me to believe that he was trying to reach out to anyone. He was just normal, laughing and goofing off like usual. I knew he had some hard times that he was still trying to get over, and he was very honest about them. He wasn't honest about the fact that he was contemplating suicide.
The sun is shining brightly today. It always warms me on the inside when it's warm on the outside. Yet another thing that take away the pain of other things. I was hoping for fair weather this weekend. I know the NE BSUers are headed this way today and I want them to have safe travel. Go get 'em Northeast!! Plus, my best friend Carrie is coming to see me. I'm really excited. It'll be the first time since graduation that any of my friends have come to see me. That was last May. It's definitely time for company.
Eli and I sent off his Graduate Application to California College of the Arts. What a load off my back!! That was stressing me out soooo much. Now we have to focus on the University of Georgia. I'll be glad when all of that is over!
K, gotta get back to work. Lots of love!

A Log of Life
Ok, to let you know what these pictures are all about....I decided I would try to take some snaps of what's around me so you guys to get to know where I am today. Since I don't get to talk to you all very often (minus the exchanges we have here) I figured it would be easier to bring my world to you this way. Basically it's a run down of what I see from my house to work and back to my house again. Not a whole lot of anything. I meant to do it in the order I said, but I forgot that when you post pictures, they post backwards or whatever. It makes sense in my head. Needless to say, the first one after my Nothing to See post is where the beginning is. This car marks the end. Enjoy!!
I like this car. It belongs to a Prof. of mine.

Random Findings on Campus
Okay, I don't know if you can tell or not, but this is a plaster face that is stuck inside a big oak tree located in front of the Art Complex. It's kinda creepy at night because when you drive by you catch it out of the corner or your eye. Sometimes I forget it's there. I like it though. My friend made the face and a few people have added to it over time.
