New Years Eve Eve

So we meet again. I just got out of a nice long refreshing shower. It was much needed after a day full of cleaning (or avoiding cleaning in my case). We are preparing the house for my next to the youngest sister's birthday party tomorrow. Alexi was born on New Years Eve. She could have been a New Year's baby, but my dad wanted the tax deduction. Go figure. So, while I did do some cleaning I was more of a much needed distraction. :)

My List of Distractions

• play baseball with the fat mickey antenna as the ball and Mama's pans as the bat
• knock over my baby sister, Ariel's, fish bowl with fake fish from playing baseball
• quote The Hangover and make Daddy spit his drink out
• dance around like a goof
• vacuum and steam clean the floor while singing "Silent Night" in an opera voice
• make a salad
• prank call my dad
• get Alexi to prank call my dad
• text Amanda (the second oldest sister), who is upstairs, to prank call my dad
• get on Facebook
• make fun of my mom
• terrorize the animals

I think that's about it. See? I told ya I worked hard today. Anywho... Off to dinner at the local Italian restaurant.

Toodles!

It's a Wonderful Life

Ahhh... I just love that movie and am currently watching it at the moment. Yes, I know it is after Christmas, but I can't help it. It's such a great movie. People seemed so much more genuine back then. Everything seemed so innocent. Nowadays you have songs talking about threesomes and hermaphrodites, movies with peoples' guts all over the place, and innocence is lost. Oh to star in a black 'n' white film. ;)
Sorry it has been so long since I last wrote in my blog. So much has changed since then. I survived my first semester at Longwood (yay!), made some new friends, and passed Biopsychology. By the way, I was totally right about the roommate situation. She turned out to be a pot-smoking-lying-skanky-alcoholic b*tch. And that's being nice. Thankfully I'll be switching rooms next semester. I just pray that my friend and I still remain friends after living together.
I know you may not think my life is very interesting, but I assure you it is. I know everyone says that, but this is different. I'm telling the truth. To start it off, my dad is the only male in a house full of women. He has my mom, four daughters, and a crazy mother-in-law. Talk about an estrogen overload.
Each day is just an opportunity for a new adventure in my family. Have you ever heard of someone wrecking their car in their own driveway? My sister, who does not even have her learner's permit, managed to pull that off. How about someone smashing their finger between two bowling balls? Guilty. I had to have two surgeries and six months of physical therapy on one very important middle finger. You think this stuff is crazy? You ain't heard nothing yet.
I can't wait to tell you all about my crazy, but wonderful family. Hopefully I can stay up to date with this blog. We shall see...

Apprehension

I am totally in the mood to write some incredibly witty blog, but I've got nothing. Nothing overly spectacular has been going on in my life besides the fact that I will be transferring to a new college in exactly one week AND that I have a monsterous secret that I cannot share with anyone. Oy!
As each day comes to an end, I feel more and more anxious about this new adventure I am about to begin. Yes, I have already been in college for two years, but this time it's different. I will no longer be a commuter student. I will actually live on campus and experience college for what it really is for the first time in my life.
Contrary to what some 20-year-old students may feel, I have become rather attached to my family over the years and am not looking forward to leaving them. Although it will be nice to be out on my own and not have the constant competition between my three sisters, I am going to miss old life.
I guess part of my apprenhension stems from the fact that my future roommate seems to totally already. I mean, she does not even know me and I feel she already resents me. Maybe I am being paranoid and looking into this too much, but my intuition tells me otherwise.
We have only communicated through ONE (yes, one) e-mail and she was not the friendliest person. It seems like I was on her "s" list from the start, since she was expecting someone other than me to be her roommate. She was also very possessive of her mini-fridge and microwave and practically freaked on me to get my own. Someone needed to watch a little more Barney videos when they were little to learn how to share.
Other than that tiny dilemna, I'm actually looking forward to school. I know I sound like I total nerd for saying that, but it's true. Most of my classes look rather interesting and it'll be nice to meet some new people. Hopefully it won't be too hard to make some new friends. I'm sorta shy when it comes to opening up to new people. I hope it's not to hard to fit in...
Goodness, I can't believe I took up that much space about school. I really am a geek 8-)
So, onto my secret ordeal. I don't think I have ever been told a secret that could cause so much damage before. Seriously, if something like this were to get out, all hell would break loose. No joke. People's lives would be ruined. Shame and humiliation would rip apart families. It's an awful thing that happened. All I can do is pray for everyone involved and hope that no one spreads it further.
Those are really the only pressing things on my mind at the moment. I'm going to end this blog now before I bore anyone to death. Now, back to reading the Twilight series. It's an addiction :)
