Not Your Average Jane

So today hasn't been that great... In fact its been rather nonglorious.... It all started with getting up late and ends a few minutes when I go to bed... Ok, thats a fib only this afternoon sucked greasy brown monkey balls.... Classes were all right, did well on my Inclusive legal test I think, and turned in my book for Intergrated Methods, everyone I showed seemed to like it... Came back to the house and ate lunch, read for a while, and checked my email, that's where my trouble started..... I got an email from a friend of a friend saying that my ex, we'll call him Brandon, had a new girlfriend that was sweet and cute and her name was Amelia (name changed to protect my own ass...). We broke up at the end of last year and we've remained good friends... Fact of the matter is I was sorta hoping for a another shot... I figured it was a long shot, but to hear I could have been knocked over with a feather... I did a bad bad thing and called him up in a tizzy... My feelings were hurt and I acted impulsively (see - without thinking). That helped me a bit... I asked why he didn't tell me and he couldn't come up with a good answer. Then I asked how long they'd been together and he hemmed and hawed a bit but never really gave me an answer... Which is making me suspicious... But I got over the shock and hit anger and so I went to Walmart and conducted a bit of retail therapy... Nothing like I could have indulged in at home, but it helped me a bit... But I got Brother Bear and watched that (after American Idol of course - I can't believe they got rid of Amy - I loved her!!!). Now League of their own is on and I'm thinking about going to bed.... Gawd I can't wait for tommorrow, I'm going to the primary for a couple of hours and that always makes me feel better..... Laters!

Wow,I've been really bad about blogging lately.... But I think midterms, and Spring Break are pretty good reasons... Last week I sorta just chilled, didn't really have much to say.... Thought about blogging Friday but ran out of time before Heather got here.... So since the last time I blogged..... Let's see... Tuesday night had a dream about Bleu and salad dressing that was in no way erotic.... Last night I had the same dream about marrying Austin (though why I would want to I have no clue....). I ordered a new PG sticker and baseball cap, and I'm getting new speakers for my computer sometime this week (sound at long last!)..... Friday I was feeling really overwhelmed... Had some school drama and was so stressed I actually cried.... How rare is that!?!?!?! Holy, shit, Micheal Buble looks like one of my exes sans facial hair a wee bit skinnier... No wonder I like him so much... Even though he does look like a vampire... Sorry he's on Wayne Brady at the moment couldn't help those observations.... Anyway, I found out Aisha's 5 monthes pregnant... She seriously doesn't look like it... I made chicken and dumplings last week and had leftovers till yesterday... I never thought about it till KEVIN said something, but they really are just glorified soggy biscuits... Good thing I like biscuits! :0) Heather was in town this weekend, we went to James' Friday night and then she left Saturday and I went to see Dirty Dancing 2 Saturday night... Sunday I spent most of the day doing homework... I felt really good when i went to bed, I was just sooo productive and I'm soooo not used to that on weekends.... :0) Talked to Linz Saturday and she was on the way to a party at Lake Travis with Meghan... Mom was in Austin too, but for a conference.... Let's see what else... Oh, yeah, I wore my BEB shirt (the one he signed for me) and I can't tell you how many times people asked me who is Bleu? Who signed that shirt? So I got to explain to the locals about the wonders that are the Bleu Edmondson Band.... :0) Yeah, so thats about it for now... I have to go find something to do... Its glorious outside and I feel totally non glorious for being inside.... Laters!!!!!!!!

So its Monday, once again and I'm back in Arkansas and back in classes... Lucky me, huh? I came back yesterday instead of Saturday so I got to spend Saturday tooling around H-town... Saturday night I spent helping Mom with a bunch of stuff for a conference this week in Austin... Friday night Linz and stayed up till like 5 in the morning Saturday... I had actually planned to leave Saturday but that didn't happen when Linz appeared at 11 pm, saying lets do something.... We hung out and talked and stuff till like 2 in the morning.... Then I wound up on AOL for a couple of hours... Speaking of which, Kevin was complaining he never gets a shout out in my blogs... So, guess what, Kevin? I got 2 words for you, guess what they are? :0) hehehe... I crack me up.... :0) Anyway I spent most of today in class... Came home ran some errands, went to Russellville to Hastings and now I'm home, thinking about going to Wallyworld for some stuff I need.... Anywho thats bout it for now.... Laters!

So, its Friday, Houston, here's what youwon't find in todays Chronicle.... Or least not that I know of since I haven't looked at it lately.... So since the last time I blogged, I finished midterms Thursday.... Then Saturday I started home.... Then I had 2 blowouts and some other stuff outside Texarkana Saturday, so I got towed into town (Texarkana), and found the service dept. of Toyota closed and as it turns out they had to order parts on Monday and it was all fixed Tuesday.... Or so I thought... But I get ahead of myself... So I was stuck in a Courtyard Marriot in Texarkana Saturday to Tuesday... I finally get back into Houston Tuesday night and Wednesday I run errands around town so Mom and I can go to Gruene Thursday... More car drama, it has to be put in the shop and fixed again.... Insurance got involved and long story short I just got it back on the way back from New Braunfels tonight.... But in better news I did just get back from New Braunfels.... :) Ok, so it was like 2 hours ago, but thats beside the point.... We went to Gruene yesterday and hung out in town and went to Gruene Hall last night to see some blues guy play... Then we stayed at a place called the Gruene Apple B and B (tackiness incarnate and they charge out the wazoo to boot!).... I got a new Gruene Hall shirt and Doug Moreland's new CD AND a Stragglers shirt (Property of the Stragglers - though I don't know if I would really want to actually belong to any of them, the whole band guy thing.....).... Then today we went to San Marcos and did the outlet stores and I got a couple of pairs of 9 west sandals.... Good times.... Then we went to Wimberly and Canyon Lake to just sorta see the Hill Country... Mom tried to convince me to live in Wimberly instead of NB, but she went about it all wrong, she emphasized stuff I don't like and dissed NB... Bad way to go about it, she should know better than that by now... I also found out b4 we left yesterday that Bleu was playing in Galveston, I told mom and she was like we could do that instead, but as much as I adore the man (even with the band guy thing and the fact he looks like a turtle without his hat) I needed a dose of hill country... And I got it thank god.... Though most of the time we were worried about the damn car.... So it was good times, but not exactly relaxing times... Now I can't decide whether to go back to school 2morrow or Sunday... I'm so tired of being in a car and traveling and I know I won't get any homework done on Sunday (which is one of my main reasons for going back early...) so I just don't know..... I'm all gassed up and I have cash, just have to pack so we'll see.... Thats about it for now... Laters!

Is no one home today?!?!?! Thats the 5th call I've made and gotten a voice mail/answering machine! All I wanna know is if my middle sister wants a copy of Soul Gravy.... Did I mention that I got that yesterday? ;) Whoo hooo!!! Yesterday was a good day, regardless of the fact I had to go to Cingular twice (did ggt my phone fixed though), missed my 8 oclock class and got lectured by my 930 prof... Then there was the almost embarrassing dress slipping down... In a room full of kindergarteners at that!!!
So yeah, anyway since I last blogged, we got a cat, kitten actually.... Went to class (except that pesky 8 oclock one yesterday), went to see Hildalgo Friday night (pretty good), stayed in with the roomies Saturday night and watched a bunch of movies.... Actually I've hardly been on Galleywinter at all in the last week, come to think of it.... Weirdness.... Saw Brent on the way to Walmart Friday.... There was a suprise.... He tried to act all friendly and shit and wave and smile, but I wasn't having any of that! I played like I was messing with my radio and since I was wearing a baseball cap, it worked pretty well... Speaking of exdruggies finding religion, I got lectured by Joe of all people last night, but then so did both Amandas so I don't feel too bad... Actaully I didn't in the first place it was all I could do not to laugh when I was on the phone with him.... It was some funny shit.... He didn't even get my Angel joke... Irony, Joseph, irony.... But it is good he's quit all the drugs and shit... Ya gotta be impressed when a 19 year old knows more than I do about drugs.... Kinda scary actaully... But anyway, its midterms this week and life is hectic and stressful... Had 2 tests in the last week, plus a take home due today and another tommorrow morning, PLUS a puppet show on Friday... Plus all the work that's been due, that is now late... But whats new there? :) I also have to pack half my crap while I'm at it... Its priobably a good thing I don't plan to leave till Saturday! Thats about all for now, I have to go study for this test.... Laters!

"My dog is worried about the economy because dog food is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost $7.00 in dog money."
- Joe Weinstein

So lets see in the week or so since I last wrote... We've gotten Buck (the dog) a new home (12 acres, lots of otehr animals, and 4 kids to boot!), had a virus that turned out to be a worm on my computer... That was a fun couple of days! So I spent TX independence Day getting my computer taken care of... Lucky me huh? Speaking of which here's a little something I found about that....

Sittin' here the 2nd of March,
Sippin' a beer got my shirt all starched.
Friends stop by to sing and play,
Celebrate Independence Day

You can call him Bubba,
don't call him Tex.
'Cause today's the day
we pause and reflect...

'Bout them good 'ol boys,
who took to the wall,
Raised that Lone Star flag so tall.
Santa Ana killed 'em, the very last man
but that bastard's dead and Texas still stands...

-- "Independence Day" by Chris Wall

Good song and very appropriate I think....
I've been having a bunch of wierd dreams, most of them involving what I like to fondly refer to as 'band guys', also known by most people as Texas/Reddirt musicians... And one about Tom Brady... That was kinda odd...
Average Joe and Bacholorette ended badly.... Won't go into detail but now I have a huge crush on Matthew from The Bacholorette... Even though I know what trouble Matts can be.....
Speaking of Matt's I ran into Moreland th other day.... We might go to see Hildalgo this weekend.... I hope he doesn't get the wrong idea like he usually does.... I hate fending off gropey hands..... I wonder if he asnd Doug know that their families have their own personal town of Moreland in AR? Probably not....
Also I found out I'll be home the last week of Rodeo... I might even get to see REK and Dierks and Pat... That would be the shiznit! That and the Hill Country road trip should make it one hell of a Spring Break!!! Too bad I also have 2 Dr.'s appointments that week too... One at 8 am Monday (how am I going to get up and get accross town for that one I haven't figured out yet....) and then a teeth cleaning/lecture session at 1 Tuesday... Lucky lucky me... But at least I'll be home!!! I have to do a shit load of homeowork today and go to R-ville to return some movies at Hastings and go to Cingular, since my cell phone still isn't fixed.. Some heads are gonna roll soon if they don't get on the ball.... And I'm just PMSy enough to be the one doing it..... :0) Laters!
