Home Grown Country Girl

Mood: Believing in my momma and having faith in her.
Listening to: Steve and Otis snore. Buncha lazy bums!

Well, hey guys! How was your weekend? Mine was...eventful. I had some interesting things happen a few times, but other than that it was pretty quiet. School is winding down and Im so thrilled about that.  Although, I will be going for at least another year to get my bachelor's degree, but I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun starting on a new degree, taking different classes, learning different things! Cory is even going to enroll in college with me! Yay!

So let's start with Friday. Basically it's hard to remember! Mahah! Let me get my days figured out here. OH! OK! So, Friday I got up and updated my blog. After that, I did some laundry and watched some TV. Around 2 or so I went to my grandparents house. Mawmaw told me that Caitlin had her first band concert at 7pm so I told mawmaw I would definitely be there. They left their house around 3pm to go be with Caitlin until my Uncle got home. When my grandparents left at 3pm, I came on back home, changed clothes, watched Ellen, then headed back down to their house around 5pm.

We left around 6:15pm cause it started at 7pm. Cory came and brought his girlfriend!  She is so beautiful. She's Korean. Her hair comes down to her butt, it's straight and all one length. It's black and so shiny. She doesn't wear makeup either! I was so glad! I think she might wear lipgloss or something, but other than that - she's naturally beautiful. She's so sweet, too! Im really happy Cory is with her. She's great for him. She's so short! She's 5 foot tall. Just a tiny little thing. She couldn't be better for him, though.

On to Caitlin. Her group played first. She's in the 5th grade band. She plays flute, but she's wanting to switch to something else. I did the exact same thing. I played flute for a minute then switched to clarinet. She did so great though! I couldn't have been more proud of her. When they played the banana boat song [daaaaay - oh daaaay oh daylight come and me want to go home] I got all teary-eyed. She's just growin up so fast. 5th grade already! I feel so sorry for her, too. I think she needs to have more girls in her life and part of that me feeling sorry for her is guilt. I should be more part of her life. At the same time, Uncle Michael is doing fantastic with her. I couldn't be more proud of him. He is always there for her and she always feels at home with him.  He's a GREAT father. Ok, so after the concert, we all went back to mawmaw and pawpaw's and talked for a bit. I think I got home close to 11pm. Mahahah! I came home and worked on my outline for my speech. I got in bed around 3am.

On Saturday I got up early and went back to my grandparents house. Momma and I went and done some things and this is where it gets interesting. We were walking on this little path and there was a stray dog with us. This is gonna sound a lil out there, just bare with me. Momma was in front of me. We were walking on a path, then on some rocks, then onto a log that is across a lil pond. So, I was paying attention to the dog and then we come up onto the rock. You have to step onto the rock to get onto the log that leads across the pond. Well, the dog is standing on the rock so I go to step around him. My foot sank into this thick, black mud clear up to my knee!  It was like quick sand! So immediately I put my other foot down [my left one] and it sank halfway up my shin. So great. Im stuck in quick sand. It was tragic. I couldn't move! Mahahah! I was like tryin to pull my foot up and the ground just kept sucking my leg down in it! So anyway - I finally pulled my legs out and got stood up. We went back to my grandparents and I had mud all over me. I got in their shower and got it all cleaned off. Momma had an asthma attack cause it made her so upset - I thought it was hilarious. If anything crazy, stupid, or interesting can happen - I'll make it happen!

So, I spent a few more hours at my grandparents just talking. I came home around 1 or so. Cory called and he came down. He was here for like 4 or 5 hours. He had supper with us, then he went to visit his momma, I think. Steve and I just kinda hung out the rest of the night. I watched a lot of Law and Order: SVU. I love that show. There was like a marathon of it on. I also watched me some Kenny Chesney concert on TV. He is oh so hot. Oh, and he's a fantastic singer. Steve's favorite song by Kenny Chesney is "The Good Stuff." See?! Steve is just like a huge teddy bear! I love it! He does anything I ask him to do. Like, I was feeling so lazy on Saturday evening and he went and fixed me supper and brought it to me, would go get me stuff to drink. I didnt have to get outta bed. Of course, this all came with a price.  He called me "Swampthing." Mahahaha!

Sunday was a nonchalant day. I got up and worked a little more on my outline for my speech. Around 11 I took another shower. Yes, I had like 4 showers within 24 hour period. I got dressed and headed to the scholarship ceremony. It wast at 2pm. I don't get scholarships because I don't need them. My tuition is waived. So anyway, I did that and we got finished around 3:30pm. Then, I called my uncle to see if he wanted to meet me at my grandparents so that I could give him a haircut and I nearly killed him! He was sleeping on his porchswing and the phone rang and he flipped outta the porch swing. MAhahaahaha! Too funny! He showed up a bit after I did and I cut his hair and that was that. We just kinda hung out at my grandparents for a bit. I left there around 7 or so last night. I came home and finished my outline for my speech and did the last paper Im going to have to do this quarter! *cheer*

I got in bed last night around 3am and I got up at 9am. I couldn't sleep. I think I slept on my neck wrong or something cause it's hurting so bad. Im gonna try to lay back down when I finisht his and see if I can't get another hour or two of sleep. I don't have to give a speech today, thank goodness! It is speech day. The first speeches start. We have another speech day on Wednesday. Then, Monday is memorial day so we don't have class. On the 31st I give my speech. After that Wednesday, the following week is finals.  WOW! See how fast the time has went by! The first week of June is jampacked for me. June 2nd and June 3rd I'm doing a yard sale with some of the girls from school. June 4th I'm free for studying. June 5th I have 2 finals. June 6th I have an award ceremony. June 7th I have 2 finals. June 8th I think the graduates of the HST program are going to decorate our caps. June 9th is graduation. June 10th is our graduation party.  Then, I get an entire week to do nothing. June 19th, I start classes again.

So today is gonna be a decent day. I dont have anything stressful today or Wednesday. That's a good thing. Then, I'm off from Thursday - Wednesday. Wow! On Wednesday Im giving a speech. Then, the following Monday is finals. I just can't get over that! On Wednesday I am going to buy my cap and gown. OH I can't wait. I've already mailed in my RSVP or whatever it is to let them know how many people will be at graduation for me. Twenty Five people are coming. Yay! Well, they all probably won't show up, but at least they have a seat if they want to come. Well, now Im just rambling so Im gonna stop here. I sure do miss Teri. I hope everything goes great for her. She sent me something and I have to go to the post office today before class to get it.  Im excited! I'll post either tonight or tomorrow and show ya'll what it is! She's so sweet. I just LOVE getting stuff in the mail. You know what...I'm going to attempt to find the addresses ya'll gave me. I had them saved on my laptop. Can ya'll email me your addresses again so I can send ya'll cards and stuff? I know, Im a bad friend. Jackie: I got yours! I remember the city and state my lil bronco girl lives in, but not the address...and plus you're moving! So yeah.
