Been home a week now. Not too much to report. I have been trying to go to the pool everyday and do some pool exercises, because they kick the butt out of the gym.
I have been spending a lot of time with my brother, which has been really nice. We played hangman for over two hours the other night and we have played 8 games of Life....of which I have only won once.... so we continue to play.
Played one game with dad, and that just opened up a very awkward conversation about my life. basically this was my response, 'Yes dad, I'm still a virgin." You can only imagine the rest of the conversation.
We lost a set of keys (the lock box, the mailbox and the spare to the garage). We tore apart the house and still nothing....broke into the lock box to get mom's medicine (long story as to why they were in there to begin with)... still need to find the mailbox key though...
I watched the movie Ghost Town last night (Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear). It was cute. Did not expect the ending (completely)...kind of left me wanting more. Overall it was pretty funny.
About to go eat lunch...don't know what yet. Here are some of my options: BLT, Turkey Club, Soup, Mac and Cheese, Pot Pie, Dinner Leftovers (roast beef and mashed potatoes), or yogurt.... hmmm, what to have, what to have.
My life is so full!
I will let you know what I ate and how it was next time I log on.
Until then,
Bon Appetit

Home sweet home
Yes, I am finally home. I am officially a college sophomore and I officially hate Las Vegas...
Let me explain...all school year I went without being sick...I am not home a week and my allergies flair up the worst they have ever been (unless it is a sinus infection...in which case I should be fine soon....we shall see). As for Vegas itself...I haven't seen much of it...
It is nice to be home. Good food, sleeping in, being able to do relaxing things. Very nice!
I do still hope to travel to New York at some point (with a pit stop in Detroit). I know I will be going to Texas later in the summer. ALSO I am really hoping to go on a roadtrip to Cali with Lindsey the beg of August!!!
As for now...I think I am going to go to bed...sorry all.
Will post more soon.
good night,
Bon Appetit

If it's not one thing, it's another...
I can officially say I am a college sophomore!!!! Had my last final this morning. Have my room all packed up. The next step is moving out....which is turning out to be more stressful that one would normally expect it to be.
Mom is in town, staying with some friends of ours. She has no car and they work all day. The best plan would be to have her use their car when they get off work, come move all my stuff out, and then I would be done. One problem, their car is not that big, so it would take a few trips to get all my stuff to the storage unit. The woman's boyfriend has a pick-up truck, but he does not speak English....so, I think what is happening is....they will get home from work, use the boyfriend's truck and come move me out. Seems simple, no? Hopefully it will be.
I am all packed, out of meals on my meal plan, and have absolutely nothing left to do. So, moving out tonight would be the absolute best thing for me.
My roommate and her dad just left to get his rental car and go check him into his hotel. I am assuming they are also going to go put the money down on our storage unit. If not....I obviously cannot move out tonight...I am pretty sure that is one of their errands though.
Ah the stress. Of course nothing involving my family can be stress-free, that is just not how we function. Having been away from home for about a year though, I have come accustomed to stress-free daily activities and this new-found stress is unnerving...lol. It's like humidity. When I live in Florida the humidity did not bother me. I moved out to Arizona, went back to Florida for a visit and couldn't believe how horrid it was to be in humidity. That is my family: humidity; and I have been adapting in the dry desert.
Love them though, and once I am officially moved out and on my way, things should calm down a bit. I mean, mom and I still have no way to get us back to Vegas, but that bridge will be crossed once I finish crossing the bridge I am currently on. If I had my own car, most of the stress going on in my life right now would be non-existent...however, I do not have a car. A lot of things would have made these events non-existent; but, no use complaining or hoping for a miracle. I just have to accept things as they are and take it from there. I will continue leaning on the Lord for all my support and on my friends for theirs.
Hopefully my next post will have some relieving news...
Until then:

The End Draws Near
That is a pretty dark title...when in reality I am referring to the end of school; which is not dark at all. It is actually a great relief. So, now that that is cleared up...
One more final, tomorrow morning, costuming. After that I am done...with school. I still have to move out, which will be annoying and stressful. Soon it will all be over and I can hopefully relax.
Spent the weekend with Lindsey, which was awesome!!! We heartattacked kristen's house, we watched movies (Dark Matter, Last Chance Harvey, Steel Magnolias and Pulp Fiction), we watched The Nanny, we ate some awesome Trader Joe's food, we rocked out to Mamma Mia and we got frozen yogurt! I also had the best dream ever.....
Side note- My Awesome Dream
So basically, I went to the Ellen show in August hoping Meryl would be on to promote Julie and Julia. Turns out she was going to be on the next day. I, however, had written a letter to her and she had read it. So, Ellen called me onstage and told me Meryl was very upset she couldn't be there the same day I was but wanted to have Ellen thank me for writing such a beautiful letter. I was so overcome with happiness that (I didn't cry) I might have gotten a bit watery eyed and I went, "Oh crap, now my mascara is going to run. I bought the wrong kind and it is so sensitive to water. It is so annoying." Just as I said that, a voice behind me said, "Oh I hate when mascara does that." It was Meryl Streep, turns out she and Ellen set me up. Ellen had another trick up her sleeve. She told me she wanted to invite me back on the show the next day when Meryl was to really be on it. I told her that I was going back home right after today's taping and she said that she is putting me up in the fanciest hotel for the weekend. Turns out, Meryl was at the same hotel, right down the hall from me. She invited me out to dinner with her. While at dinner we called Lindsey and surprised her. Then the next day on the show Meryl called me up on stage and asked if I was going to the premiere of the movie that night. I told her I had no idea that the premiere was that night. She then asked me to be her guest at the premiere and offered to take me shopping with her to pick something out to wear. Just as we got to the red carpet and I saw what it is really like to be a movie premiere...I woke up.....but it was still an awesome dream...and I am looking for tickets to Ellen's show in August, just because I can...
Back to life....
Weekend with Lindsey was awesome and I cannot wait to see her again on Friday!!!!
Might see Mom tomorrow night...hope she is feeling ok.
Well off to bed. Got that final tomorrow.

I'm trying
I still feel bad. I need to log on more. This summer I promise to do so. I will have more time on my hands.
I have been so stressed. School is going well. Finals almost over. Picked up my script for the play next semester. One more final left.
what i am stressed about is moving out. Mom is coming into town, but we won't have a car so how the heck we are going to move my stuff out is still up in the air. I am struggling to figure out how to pay for my storage unit. I could pay in monthly, but the roommate want to pay up front so we get a discount on the third month. I am trying to come up with the money but not having too much luck. Mom says not to worry about it she will figure it out, and she always does, I just hate not having money!!!!!! Sucks that the job fell through this semester. Next semester will be so nice. I will get a job and have an apartment so I won't have to move out in the summer.
Once i move out i have no clue what my plans are. Mom and I are staying with friends but we don't know for how long or how to get home....I will feel at ease come the end of June.
Mom goes to court for her social security hearing and hopefully we will see progress. dad is still looking for a job. Times are hard but I just need to remember to put my fears and troubles to the lord.
Going to Lindsey's for the night, which is a breath of fresh air and will help me to set my mind on other things than my troubles.
This was not one of my more uplifting posts but I am rather stressed. I will keep you posted and write more. It is a way of venting that does work for me. I should take advantage of that more.
Prayers are welcomed and are appreciated. Love you all!

p.s. The Trailer for Julie and Julia came out!!! Woot can't wait until Aug. 7 to see it!!!
