My Sister's Keeper

I just finished reading My Sister's Keeper...Corey and I decided to read it together before seeing the movie. I saw the previews for it at the theater and instantlly knew it was one of those movies that would be an even better book and this did not disappoint. I was wrapped in from the beginning. It is a gut wrenching, tear jerk-er of a book but a really fast and enjoyable read. I recommend you all read it before going to see the movie - but supposedly the book and the movie have different endings. Corey hasn't finished the book yet so I'm desperately wanting to talk to someone, anyone, about this book!!! I'm lending it to my co-worker tomorrow for her to read...don't you love that about books...that they have a journey!

So I have a lot of blogging to do and some great pictures to post! I promise I will get some done tonight! Have a great dayyyyyy....and happy reading!

Transfomers!

so as you all know i went and saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last night at the 12:01am premiere. Michael and I got there at about ten and were probably the 20th people in line waiting for the show. they let us in the theater supper early, around 10:30 so we enjoyed a bucket of beer before the movie. omgshhhh so everyone was like on dates with people so michael and i were major creepers and watched them all update their status on facebook and twitter...haha...because their dates were lame and they had to sit with them for an hour before the movie started! i saw my friend Carlos in line...it was cool!

so finally the movie starts! YAY! okay just to let you all know i havn't really seen the first one, i mean i kinda watched it with L one night and Michael showed me the important parts but i havn't really seen it all. so anyways Michael was FREAKIN out! everytime shia would yell out BUUUUUUMBLLLLLE Michael would grab my hand so hard and pinch me! i dont know how your excitment requires you to pinch me but it really hurt! anyways i loved the movie....go see it reallly soon, like maybe today! let me know what you all think!

PS i really didn't think Megan Fox was all that pretty until this movie....and still its only in certain situations that i think she is like whoa hott...hmmm idk

D. It is written

hey bloggie friends! so i need to update you on my life for the past few days...it has been quite exciting recently. i dont have many pictures to illustrate the intense fun-ness that i had but im quite sure you all have very vivid imaginations :)

so Sunday i had lunch with Corey, Corbin and Jen at California Pizza Kitchen. got the white pizza....should of stuck with my fav the BLT pizza but nonetheless it was a good lunch and nice to catch up with some friends. after that Corey came over and we watched Slumdog Millionaire. it was sooo good! i really want the soundtrack as well. later we hung out at Corbins apartment and then everyone....meaning Patrick, Corey, Isac, Rachel and Marc came back over to my apartment and watched Once. It's a very music-y movie....it was good but slow...and Corey and I were bored so we went and swam in my apartments pool!!!! yeaaaaaa boi


WAIT A SECOND.....i just blended monday and sunday! omgshhh wow sorry that i suck at life! i will just stick to the present...seems im better at that anyways!

TONIGHT I AM GOING TO SEE TRANSFORMER 2 AT MIDNIGHT! YESSSSSS! i will devote a blog to it tomorrow. check out my funny finds today though as i ran around town with Michael today.

[haha I made Michael sit next to this guy sleeping before or after his shift at the mall food court...this was right outside the Entrance to the bathroom]

[At HEB they have beer named after yours truly....made my the same company as Fat Tire...I didn't buy any]

Also, Michael made me a twitter soooooo FOLLOW ME, my username or whatever is called aBiLeiGH09 and i guess (reluctant eye rolls) will tweet and you can creepily follow my every move...bwahahha.....dont be evil to me though please! anyways i will try it out but im not promising i will actually like it....LEGIT

Friday Friday Friday....usually are the best days of the week right? Well this past Friday I wasn't up to par, i just really wasn't feeling very well and I feel reallly bad for all my co-workers cuz im pretty sure i was a B to them all...but i told them why and apologized for my actions before hand but yea.....so after work i took a little nap and went out with Maddie and Lori to Sherlocks for a few drinks and suprisingly it made me feel much better. Travis met me out there and we had dinner together and caught up - it was nice!

[Maddie, Lori and I - sorry the picture is so blurry....i obviously wasn't the photographer]

[Me in the car before the movies]

so today, Saturday, I studied most the day then was just incredibly bored and having a mental breakdown so i texted Maddie and she was swimming at her bf's house so I went over there and swam with her all afternoon. it was nice - got some sun too! i love swimming when its incredibly hot outside...its so refreshing...everyone in Texas needs a pool haha! then I met up with Nam and we went to the movies to see The Hangover. I know im like the only person under 25 that hasn't seen this movie yet but i finally did. it did live up to its potential EXCEPT why is there so much nudity? stupid funny doesn't require nudity movie producers! did you have a good day today?

BTW please pray for me that I do well on my DAT and get good sleep and dont get consumed by stress. I know the enemy is after me right now!

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 PEACE OUT!

i went out last night

...and one thing led to another! haha have you heard that song? one thing DID NOT lead to another its just how the song goes :) i went to houlihans with Michael, Travis, Jimmy and Stephanie to catch happy hour. it was such a nice night...we sat on the back patio and it was soo nice! i havn't hung out with Travis in awhile and i miss it! TRRRRRRAVIIIIS (shout out) once i asked him to read my blog and he was disappointment that there wasn't tons of should outs to him so i had to do that...so last night i was so super crazy haha i just had tons of energy for some reason so i was crazy loud but had lots of fun...everyone had ADD last night too hmm anyways....picture time!

Natalie...its was your birthday!

Happy Birthday Natalie!

[Natalie and her Chloe]

my wonderful friend Natalie Ann just celebrated her birthday so I am doing the typical blog birthday post...and away we go....why i love natalie so!

1. Natalie and I were study buddies back in the day before I graduated! i loooooove studying with her because we are both so friggin random that it always turns out being a good time....plus she always brings skittles and she doesn't eat the orange ones so who gets them? MEEEE!

2. she gives the best relationship advice! like shes not like other girls that sit there and analize everything that a guy does and what his motives are behind it...if your a jerk to her she will move on...plain and simple!

3. okay so I met Natalie in my Chemistry II class at the downtown campus with Powell....Tarek and her would walk in 20 minutes late everyday with a Bill Miller's cup! i was like really....really? but she always looked (this is gonna be cheese fest in a sec) so pretty and cool..like i never thought we would be friends with me.

4. i love natalie's sense of fashion. she looks cute all the time! i want to look cute too!

5. natalie and i both LOVE our kitties...her cat is named chloe! she is big and really furry and would put Zoey to shame haha but we both have a mutual understanding and love for them and talk about them in a baby voice quite frequently :)

speaking of Natalie....please come back into my life....stupid summer school and stupid work!

lunch diaster

so i had lunch today with the one and only michael and we went to jason's deli....and this is were the madness begins....



so first of all the menu always throws me for loops...there is sooo much stuff...i know what i want but i can't find it on the menu and then there is a menu on the wall too but a shorter more condensed menu...maybe only the sandwhiches on the condensed menu can do the combo deal..ahhh! so i get to the front ask the lady and shes like okay any sandwhich is fine....but im too dis-com-bob-ulated to pick a sandwhich at this point so i say soup and salad combo...then order the brocilli cheese soup that i knew from last time i went there i didn't really love...bummer....

so you pay for your food....$9.28 by the way (for salad and soup! they are getting away with murder people) and then grab my tray...the tray is completely full from both of my bowls....like absolutely no room. so its hard to carry is what im saying.

then i go to the salad bar and load up cause their salad is the best part of the resteraunt! i love making my salad there....meanwhile michael as order a chicken pot pie and has already sat down. remember this is lunch time so its crazy busy. i get done with my salad and start aimlessly walking around the resteraunt because Michael is no where in sight. after a full loop i still don't see him and by this point im getting crazy looks by everyone in the place. is she retarded? did her friend stand her up? its was pretty bad. so i went back to the salad bar and pretending to get more salad while frantically looking for Michael. I still don't see him until finally he waves....thanks for the help buddy....i appreciate it!

so i didn't fill up my drink glass while i was at the salad bar because my tray was full so i had to go get water....okay...sounds easy enough right? i couldn't find the water!!! there were people all around me with water but it was no where to be seen. so i asked this little man where it was and he was like errr its on the soda dispenser! OMMMMMGGGGGGSHHHHH i had just stared at the dispenser for the last two minutes looking for one of those little handle things attached to the lemonade for water....but it had its own spout! stoooooooop! (pronounced stoop as in stup-id)

okay you also get free ice cream there....abbey spills ice cream on her dress that happens to have a lot of white in it.....great!

jason's deli = biggest headache of a resteraunt ever!

Update-aRoos!

okay so my friend Michael did an update blog yesterday which inspired me to do one today! and then i also just have some random thoughts....because well i like to ramble.....

1. so guys i acutally set a date to take my DAT exam....and it is in this month....so there will certainly be few post from yours truly the next few weeks

2. im learning that an 8-5 is absolutely exhausting, i don't know how much more of this i can take, i go to work, go home, eat shower and sleep and then.....drumroll please.....repeat! DUMB!

3. im seriously considering changing jobs right now - i know i should be counting my lucky stars that i even have this option with the economy right now but its really just a lot of added stress - i will be praying on what to do

4. all my friends are starting to get engaged and married....and it just sucks to be the single one lately. why is it that when you have a BF all your friends are single but as soon as your single again they are all taken? i feel like im going to be an old mom and wife...is that creepy? like if it didn't work out with my ex then it would just be awhile till love was an option...esp if i get into dental school. dental school = no life = no dating = 30 and single....depressing eh?

5. my friends and i are heading back to the river soon, this time my cousin Eric will join us! he goes to school in Montana so i havn't seen him in forever...like 2 years! it will be fun to hang with him again...did you know when we were like 8 we had the exact same size hands?

6. i feel like im losing my creativity...like in older post im like talking about the random occurances of life...i just havn't h ad many of those lately. is it 'cause im stuck inside this little room for 8 hours - only leaving for a breif hour in which i run at the local park where i see them same 4 people that were there yesterday?

7. im drinking starbucks right now...havnt had it in awhile....and they don't have the 'the way i see it' series going on on their cups anymore...sad day! i very much enjoyed those. PS - im drinking a grande nonfat upside down caramel macchiato! YUUUUM OMG so i just read the new Starbucks cup and it says they buy 65% of their coffee from from farmers who are good to their workers.....uhhh that means 35% of it is bought from farmers who are bad to their workers? yikkkkkkes....i feel guilty drinking this now...should i only drink 65%? errr too late

i dont know where this list shifted from an update to thoughts? sorry my brain is skitsaphrenic! oh i also can't spell most medical conditions.

8. zoey, the beloved cat, has been extra annoying lately. she woke me up at 5:34a today! uhhhh so i put her in the living room and closed my bedroom door...and she scratched at the door, meowing every 3 seconds on the dot till 7:20a when i normallly crawl out of bed. how did her schedule shift so much? and more importantly, how to i get it back?

[did i mention that constant rythmic noises such as a cat meowing every 3 seconds or a kid tapping there pencil on their desk ANNOYS me like no other...i would never make it as a boy]

9. im ready for a big adventure! im waiting to see if thats dental school or moving...or both! lets hope for both!!! im been contemplating the idea but im pretty much a chicken! but i think it would be a great learning experience to go to a city..a hustlin buslin city...and live and work and make friends! ...im thinking Boston?

10. i really want to find some sort of missionary organization to get involved in and take some trips with. im really passionate about helping childern in need and since college (lol a whole month ago) i feel like there is nothing out there for me...so i need to go out and find it myself! also i am getting trained to do child care at my church this week! I love my church, BRCC, and really want to get more involved. Im soooooo excited!

uhh how many of you all are still reading? i tried to post a video last night but it took too long and i am inpatient...i will try again tonight...its darn funny!

mmmhmmm sorry for the slightly depressing, emo post! i will find life more interesting...or make it that way PROMISE!

Dear Jesus, why has doing my nightly bible study been so hard this week? Please help me! love you! Amen!

i want OrangeCup! have you been? do you love it?

[im also border line obessed with making things links today apparently - excuse me]

Another Summer Filled Weekend!

cheers to another great weekend! this summer might be the best (weekend wise) i have ever had! Friday, work was reallllllly slow! a bunch of my co-workers and i had gone out to Sherlocks on Thursday so we were all draggin and it was just one of those days that its like pure torture to be stuck outside...and your lunch break just makes you want to sneak away for the rest of the day! sooo after work on Friday I had a mini-photo shoot with my beloved kitty, Zoey! shes a girl! and then Cherish and I drove to Gruene to meet Sally and Krystina to see this band play. They were pretty good and it turned out to be just what the doctor order after being trapped indoors for 8 hours!

[Zoey and I...my kittykat]

I spent Saturday poolside at my apartment studying for my DAT. Then I babysat the beautiful
Gaby. OMgshhh so Gaby is my ex-boss' kid and mannnn is she getting so big! I really can't believe it every time that I go over there. We are starting swim lessons with her on Monday so we will see how that goes. Today, I went to church...took a much needed afternoon nap...and now I'm watching Game 2 of the NBA finals.

Okay so goals for the week:

• run everyday this week during my lunch hour
• remember to dvr jon and kate plus eight and the bachlorette
• clean my apartment
• stop eating everything in site (i havn't been full in 4 days for some reason and im pretty much out of control when it comes to food)
• do some scrapbooking!
• bible study every night
  

Sooooo, tomorrow Michael and I are supposed to be making dinner together. Potatoe Boats are on the menu but I didn't buy anything to make them so thats like 99.9% changing...hahaha! I shall post pictures <3 have a FAB week!

PostSecert

have you heard of PostSecert? It is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. It is really fasinating to skim through their blog and read their books! i just bought my first book and finished it in a day. I also pre-ordered the next book that is set to come out on October 6 - PostSecert: Confessions on Life, Death and God. Below is a postcard on the website today...thought it was appropiate! Check it out though....SERIOUSLY! you will fall in love!

Here are two other postcards from this weeks blog post that show more of why iheartpostsecert! Also, I love you all and I know its hard to find time to read my blog and it really doesn't offend me if you don't read it...but just know it makes my day if you do! new followers, comments, and hearing someone mention my blog in passing not only makes my day but my universe! forreals <3
