Writers Block

I have it. Especially when it comes to blogging. I read other people's blogs, and I think, "Hey! That's a great blog. I am now inspired to go blog! La la la, here I go to blog!" And BAM! I get here, and I got nothin'. I hate this. I don't haven anything witty to say, nor anything profound. All I do is write about how I can't write. This is so lame.

WOW a lot has happened!

So let's see if I can remember what all has happened recently!

First off, Michael reproposed to me, and gave me my official engagement ring! It's SOOO beautiful! The center stone is a blue topaz, and it has 10 diamonds on it! I'll have to post a pic of it on here soon!

The way he did it was SOO sweet! He got our entire wedding party together as a suprise, and we had a cook out, we danced to one of my favorite Jewel songs, and then he proposed! It was so awesome! My ring...wow, I just can't get over how beautiful it is! And it's HUGE!! After he proposed, he sang a song that he wrote me. It was so sweet and amazing! What a great way to celebrate our 2 year anniversary!

Next on the agenda, I just got back from Las Vegas early Wednesday morning. I went there with the MTSU Dairy Products Judging Team to compete in the National Contest. And we totally won! We took home more awards than any other school that was there! It was so awesome! I was only an alternate, and my scores didn't count, but it was exciting nonetheless!

Experiencing Vegas was kind of a different story. I don't really get into the whole going out and partying thing, so I was out of my element. But its ok. We got to see the Hoover Dam, which was crazy big! I also won $51 on the nickel slots! Lol, I'm pretty sure I won more than I spent in terms of gambling. To me, slots just start to get boring after a while, and I didn't find them the least bit addictive. But I'm ok with that. I also got to see some of the really neat casinos. We stayed at the Sahara, which wasn't all that great, but it beat some of the sketchy motels!

And Vegas smelled bad. It was a combo of cigarette smoke, booze, old people, and bathrooms. Gross. But the mountains were gorgeous! And I had a decent view out of my hotel room. When I finally got back to Tennessee the air here actually smelled sweet to me. It was so nice to get away from all of the smoke. My lungs couldn't have taken much more, and I was starting to wheeze pretty good when I got back. But I'm slowly getting better now. Only thing left to straighten out is getting this jet lag thing worked out.

Oh, we left for Vegas on Saturday, the 13th, which also happened to be my 23rd birthday. I'm old, I know. I guess it sounds cool having your birthday in Vegas, but it really wasn't all that great. I would have much rather been home with friends and family, but I'm very thankful that I had this experience and opportunity! But I'm not sure if I'll ever willingly go back to Vegas again. It's a very sad city.

Oh, and the prostitution there is crazy! They have those newspaper bins that are FULL of booklets with naked women on them with their lady-bits censored, and the phone numbers to call "for a good time." There would also be guys on the street corners with business card sized ads with the nude/censored women on them, and they'd flick the cards at you. Like I really want a hooker. Honestly guys. A little common sense!

I was sorely disappointed, though, because for my birthday, I wanted my picture taken with as many Elvis impersonators as I could find....yeah, didn't see a single one. So on the way to the Hoover Dam, I decided that I wanted my picture taken with a real tumbleweed. No such luck. We passed them on the side of the road, but there weren't any at the Dam. But it happens.

Goodness I'm glad to be home. Now I gotta get the smell of Vegas out of all of my clothes. Ew.

So there's the fun in a nutshell!

I Should Have Majored in Procrastination

So right now I should be working on my 1st draft of my project in my International Ag class. And I kinda am working on it, but I just plain don't want to do it. I'd much rather be doing more fun things...like, oh, I don't know...counting the pores on my face...cutting the grass with sewing scissors...someone else's homework! Yeah, i've got no motivation...boo. i want a nap

They're Dropping Like Flies

Our cars are, that is. Mom's car died yesterday, but luckily it was a slipped belt. My car decided it was oil intolerant, and threw it up under the car...but God was good again, and it was a faulty oil filter. Michael's car blew a head gasket, and well, is now in an eternal sleep. Plus, Michael's roommates car got sick, as well as Michael's dad's and brother's cars. This hasn't been a good month to be a car that knows me!

But we are all managing.

Other news to report...SCHOOL. That's all I ever do anymore. Fun? Not really, but i wanna and gotta get the heck outta here!

I'm excited about going home this weekend. I always like going back home :)

I've discovered I really don't like economics...at all. But I do admit that it is much better than straight up math...or Ag Engineering for that matter.

I kinda miss having a life outside of the academic institution...huh, you know, they call school an institution, which makes me think of things like "Institution for the Criminally Insane," or "Institution for dangerous criminals," or how about "Institution for the deranged?" You think that they could have chosen a more appropriate word...oh wait, they did. lol

Ok, so enough of my strange rants. I need to do more homework...or surf the internet (just kidding mom!)

Chocolate Dreams

I know that I should very well be in bed asleep at this moment in time, but I'm not.

Mom and I went shopping today, and we both got some phenomenal clothes, and deals on them too! I love my mom, and we have so much fun when we go out together.

I'm tired of 21 hours of classes, but I know I'll miss them when I graduate.

By the way, check out the new quotes I added to the right side of my page! I love it!

Failure is Fun

So I'm keeping this blog for a little while longer. I was playing with the other one, and it frustrated me too much. lol.

So, referring to the title of my post, why do we love to watch celebs fail? I finally found Britney Spear's VMA performance, which was an utter train wreck mixed with a volcanic eruption of embarrassment. In a way i feel a little sorry for her, but on the other hand i find it so very fascinating that someone would be brave/stupid enough to display themselves in public in the manner Spears does. And it doesn't even bother her! it's crazy.

Yeah, i'd like to write more about this, but i should REALLY get back to my homework.

just thought i'd spill some random thoughts! haha

why not jump on the band wagon

So I'm thinking of moving blogs again. it'll have all of my old posts, but i'll have more creativity options. let me know if you want the new webpage... but i may still update on here. who knows
