Catching UP!!!!

I’ve been trying to blog for sometime now and I figured I just better do it. So much has happened this summer I still can’t believe its August.
This passed Saturday was my ten year high school reunion. I didn’t attend but it got me thinking where I’ve been these last ten years. HRMM, the last ten years have been interesting. Mostly I’ve been working and learning. I worked at Macey’s for a very long time and now I have a wonderful that I love so much. I get to make a real difference in someone’s life and that’s what matters.
Personally I’ve made some really stupid choices and have just barely cleaned up the mess. It’s so nice knowing that I was able to clean up my own mess without long term damage. I was able to meet the love of my life, best friend, and partner for life. Ty is the greatest/sweetest man I’ve ever known. Each day I’m surprised at how much I love him as it continues to grow. I’m still anxiously waiting to become his wife and I know it will happen one day. Can’t a girl daydream???
Though I’ve made so many stupid choices it has brought me the greatest joys of my whole life. I’ve found who my true friends are and who will be with me through it all. It has taught me the type of friend I need to be as well. I have patched up relationships and become closer with the people who mean the most to me. One thing is for sure is the life lessons are now permanently engraved in my brain and I know things can only go up!!
Well, let’s review my summer as of today. June, nothing really exciting happened. I was able to finish up my FAFSA paperwork just under the wire. I didn’t qualify for Federal Grants because I make to much money; which made me laugh(OK so it pissed me off royally – I get so fed up with people telling me I make to much money when I never have any. I’m sorry I didn’t push out a couple of puppies with three different baby daddies while in high school and I’m sorry I’m not living off the system…that doesn’t mean I makes millions and don’t need help to better myself too.) Well, I can’t rant and rage too much because I did get approved for loans which in the long run are so much better than a personal loan. I am grateful!!! Yes, I am going back to school for Cosmetology!! Something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time. Starting September I will be a Student again. My lord…10 years of NO SCHOOL and now I’m going back. I wonder if I’ll need No. 2 pencils, Kleenex box, Notebooks, Wide Rule Paper, rulers, Trapper Keepers…that sort of thing…HA.
Am I strange that I miss the first day of school? I can remember in Elementary and Middle School being excited about the first day; seeing who was in my class, new clothes and new supplies. Yeah, that excitement soon died but the first day was always fun!!
July was a lot of fun. Had a great birthday and was able to hang with Ty’s family at the lake. Of course, me and my pasty ass got toasted the second time we went out. I would post a picture but it is nasty and it’s likely you would hurl. I had two massive blisters the size of golf balls on my shoulders and then one on my back. My back actually had small blisters all over. I remember Sunday night trying to lie on my back and I could hear them all popping. I about passed out it was horrible and disturbing. I ended up missing three days of work. When I called in Monday, I’m sure they thought I was hung-over or something. It wasn’t until I sent my supervisor the pictures of what happened that they realized how bad it really was. I had to sleep on my stomach which hurt. I couldn’t move at all so my neck started to cramp; I was dehydrated and well half naked. I couldn’t wear anything that touched my burns. Yes, they were 2nd degree burns. Just FYI too…I did SPF twice…and I still fried. I’m not an idiot I know my skin. I will be using SPF Albino 100 next time I’m out in sun.
I’m totally bummed that I haven’t gone camping at all this summer. I’m hoping to venture out next weekend for some mountain man fun. Hopefully we can’t get a few peeps together other wise it’s going to be me and Tyler.
The worse thing about this summer is that my parents aren’t around. I really miss my parents. How many kids say that these days…ungrateful little bastards!! It’s been a hard adjustment not having my mom around to talk to every day. She keeps telling me that they’re only a phone call away. That’s all well and good if they ever answered their damn phone. HA Love you mommy/daddy!!!
I’m going to be an aunt next year. My super cute sister in law (and doofus older brother) is expecting twins!! I’d almost pay to watch my older brother with twins; you can’t find quality entertainment like that these days!!
As I approach final count down of Cosmetology School I can’t help but feel a bit sad about the freedom I am losing. However, it doesn’t even compare to the joy I feel about accomplishing this goal of mine. I’ll get paid to make people purdy!!! What fun!! I’ll likely post pictures of all the new things I’m trying. My focus is going to be on Makeup artistry but I can’t wait to learn all of it. Not to mention all the Supplies I’m getting. I’m actually getting a DUMMY head. It’s kind of creepy looking. I haven’t a clue what to expect but a lot of fun and some sleepy nights. Hopefully work doesn’t mind my napping at my desk. :o)
Anyway, I don’t think I forgot anything. I will (hopefully) start getting better at blogging. I really want to show off my mad skill whilst I’m in school!! Hope you’re all doing well.
