I realize I haven't written a post since Monday.....what is wrong with me? Well, to be honest it has been a pretty hectic week. And I just have not had the time to post.... I know I know.... I should always make the time to post and I promise I will get better.
Anyway, here's what I am doing instead of studying:
Watching The Legend of Billie Jean
Fair is fair!!!!!!!!!
Rosanne
Friends
Yep....that's what I have been doing instead of working on my papers and studying for tests. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be a bit more disciplined in my studying.
I meant to post Sunday Social last night, but I actually forgot. I have been playing catch up in my class and I also have been working on a group project for the class as well. Have any of you taken an online class where you have to do a group project? Let me tell you... it sucks! Every time I post a question for my group it usually takes each member at least two days to respond. It's driving me insane!!!
Anyway, here are this week's questions:
1. What do you miss most about being a kid?
I miss being able to ride my bike all day long, and just being a kid.
2. Did you have a nickname growing up? What was it?
The only nickname that I ever had was GiGi mainly because that was how my youngest sister pronounced my name.
3. What was your favorite thing to do at recess?
Swings
4. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A teacher
5. Did you participate in any school activities?
The only activity I ever participated in was Future Homemakers of America. I was a bit of an introvert during school.
6. What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still
remind you about?
Every time I hear those words I think of Cher and this song:
You know you do to!!!
Anyway, I digress.... the point of this post it write about an event/events that you would like to change. Well, let me tell ya I have lots of those. There are so many events that I would like to change that it makes it difficult to pick just a few. However, after some deep thought I finally settled on three events that I would like to change if I am ever given the chance (I know..... I know...... highly unlikely):
1) If I could turn back time, I would tell my teenage self that friends come and friends go, but the friends you make when you are older are the ones who will always be there for you. These are the friends that count.
2) If I could turn back time, I would tell my teenage self that leaving home will be the best thing you will ever do. Your life will have meaning. You will become a wife to an awesome man, he will be your better half, he will be your soul mate. You will become a mother to the two most beautiful little girls, they will be your best friends.
3) If I could turn back time, I would tell my teenage self that life is not easy. There will be road blocks and all you have to do is bust through the road blocks, never go around them. These road blocks will make you who you are in the future.
If only we knew back then just how our lives would turn out today.
I think I wrote a similar post last night, but I want to elaborate a little bit more!
Hi Lovelies!
I know my posting has been sporadic all week, but I have a very good excuse. We have been having tons of fun the past two weeks and I just haven't had the time to post. My nights have been taken up with housework and homework instead of blogging. I promise that it will change because Husby's fall classes start on Monday, so we will be hanging at home more often.
Anyway, as I said, we have been having a ton of fun. I hope we have created some fun and wonderful memories for Angelina.
Here's a breakdown of we have been up to lately:
We went to the park and played soccer and hit some baseballs, Angelina rode her bike on the walking track.
We took Angelina to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time. I had more fun watching Angelina and Husby play the games and Husby and I were able to relive some of our childhood memories at Chuck E. Cheese.
We also took Angelina to see Planes. She loved this movie and had a great time watching it. I just loved seeing her expression when the movie started. Priceless!!
To around out the rest of the week, I have been listening to these songs over and over again.
Lady Gaga: Applause
Avril Lavigne: Rock and Roll (Love the song, but not the video)
Katy Perry: Roar
I hope we have more weeks like the last two. How your week?
We have made so many wonderful memories with Angelina this week. I do have one mommy fail though, I did not capture any of these memories on camera, mainly because our old one quit working and we are in the process of picking out a new one. To make it easier, I'm going to bullet the memories that we have had so much fun making:
Memory #1:
Playing at the park: This is one of Angelina's favorite activities. For one of our adventures at the park we let her bring her bike, she had so much fun riding it. We even played soccer and a little bit of baseball.
Memory #2:
Taking Angelina to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time. She had a blast playing all of the games. I think I had more fun watching her and Husby play the games together. It just made so happy to see them have so much fun together. Being there even brought some fun memories for Paul and I.
Memory #3:
Seeing Planes. This is one movie that Angelina has been wanting to see all summer. Every time a preview for it comes on, she comes running into the living room to watch it. I can't wait to take her to see it. I know she is going to enjoy it as much as enjoyed watching Turbo.
Memory #4:
Meeting a new niece/cousin. We met our niece (Angelina's cousin) yesterday. Angelina was so excited but a bit overwhelmed from the experience.
I can't wait to make even more memories with them. I just hope the next time I can properly document everything so we can go back later and relive these amazing moments together.
I have a pickey eater all of a sudden. And, because of her pickiness I have been on the hunt for a no bake granola bar recipe and I think that I have found one that "A" might like.

How has your Monday been? I hope it was better then mine. I woke at 6:30am with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. I guess I finally caught the crud that Husby and "A" had last week. Hopefully the meds that I have will start to help me feel better in the next few days.
Anyway, this is how I have felt all day!!!!! I hate Mondays!!!
Well, at least we are one day closer to the weekend!
