........

Going out in the Bend is hilarious. Yesterday my cousin and two of her friends and I all went to dinner. This guy came over to our table and said, " You gals don't break too many hearts tonight. Go# you're all so cute. I'm a professional flirt and I had to come over and say something."


Later as we were walking out this group of middle aged men said, " Goodnight ladies, happy new year."


Awesome!

......

We had a fun time at X mas and Matt and Julie miraculously made it in and out of IN with no problems! Charles turned 1 on Dec 19th and says "Hi" like it ain't no ones business. He is crawling all around and loves sweet potatoes. He also loves to hug your face. I miss him already. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! All the best to you and yours in 2009.

x mas pics!

Fur Coats

are awesome........

Indiana

I'm home!
Pretty uneventful trip......just LONG! I got up at 4am on Friday morning (9pm Thur night IN time) and I've never seen a longer line for checking in .....ever! All of the American students that were studying abroad were leaving on my flight. Great.......and of course ALL of their baggage was overweight. AND there was only ONE person checking people in. On the flight I sat next to two Russian men that smelled like smoke and vodka and had no teeth. Their breath was well...terrible.

Then, I had about a 1.5 hour layover in Madrid and we boarded the plane at 1130. I had an AWESOME seat. One of those emergency exit ones in the front where no one would have bothered me the whole time. As soon as I was settling in the flight attdnt. came over and said,
" Do you mind if" ...........and then I just blanked out. DAMMIT!!!!!! It's not like you can say
" no" when they ask you to move. So, I ended up sitting next to random people and a ton of American kids who didn't shut up the whole flight. We ended up not leaving until 130 because they were filling up the plane with gas. Don't u think u could do that before we get on the plane? Plus, the flight was nine and a half hours.....plus all of the extra time I was waiting before I could have gone to Japan and back.

My luggage was fine and then I had to grab a train to South Bend. There were probs on the train and in the end I didn't get in until 1130pm Friday night.

Sat I wrapped all my gifts, got my hair done, and my X mas cards sent out....plus dinner at my favorite place. Awesome!
Today we drove to Ft. Wayne for the " Fisel" X mas.......I can't believe how cold it is.......LOVE IT!

Dr. Dr. Give me the news...

Bright and early I was laying on a cold bed with things taped to my body to check my heart. I dont know what it´s called in English. I crack up at the doctors here. Really, the whole thing makes me laugh (unless I´m in pain). Today I walked in, with my mother in law in tow, and the lady´s all ¨take everything off¨ hmm? Does this mean I get NAKED? I just took off my shirt hoping that would suffice and luckily it did. Thank God I didn´t take off my bra. How funny would that have been? She would have been all, ¨Hello boobies.¨So, two ladies are putting the things on my chest and the machine is not working. So they are rearranging everything..meanwhile door is opening and shutting I´m lying there in my bra and all of the grandpas outside are getting boners. Sweet!

So, after like twenty minutes of the malfunctioning machine they move me upstairs to a new one. Again, shirt comes off......awesome. The lady is trying again and one of the thingys is not reading so the male doctor comes in and stares at my boobs. Cool!!!!!!

In the end...I have an ¨abnormal¨ heartbeat and am probably going to die. OK, kidding about the dying part but they did find something abnormal so I have to go back Jan 7. Interesting....

I´m headed to IN TOMORROW! Pray for a safe flt. And that my heart doesn´t stop beating.

holler

I just came from a class and gave my kids candycanes. They thought it was the best gift EVER. Too bad those candy canes are God knows how old. It also takes all of my strength not to STRANGLE one of the kids I have. He´s not even bad he´s just quite possibly the most annoying boy ON THE PLANET. Don´t have to see him for a few weeks..YES!

Today in my classes I´m all about the videos. ¨The Holiday¨ check.

I was walking here and I´m just baffled about the whole space thing here. Usually when you are walking you have a clear path and just go. This lady veered me off the sidewalk. What the heck? MOVE OVER..don´t you see I´m trying to walk here? FREAK.

I´m still on drugs and I have to go to the doctor AGAIN tomorrow because I am having heart issues..it hurts when I lay on my left side..like my heart is going to explode. Prob not good. On top of all this cruz trying to pack, clean, blah blah blah.................. 2 days til Indiana. Yipee.

booyah.

Oh my bad. I've just been in my BED for the past three days wishing for an early death. Headache, greensnot, sore throat and chest pains. AWESOMETOWN. Yesterday I got out of bed and it looked like I ran to France and back. I was THAT sweaty. Fevers make u delirious. I don't even remember what I was thinking about. I went to the doctor today and have some sort of infection. Antibiotics are grand.



Also, I just got my haircut. AGAIN. I'm going to be bald soon.

They say it's your Birthday? 2

i really like this pic. i'm the one with my mouth wide open.

here we are in front of the rest. i'm straddling A's back.

they brought out icecream with an eight candle on it..and shut out all the lights while i blew the candle out. so fun.

i am overly excited, prob slightly embarrassed that the entire restaurant is staring at me but i try to play it cool by giving the thumbs up. no..didn't work..i didn't think so.

So, it's officially after midnight so I guess it's not my b day. I had a great one though. From my students tonight I got a beautiful plant for x mas and I also got a bottle of D a G perfume! Holy crap!!!!!!!!! My students must LOVE me (or my hot body). Then about fourteen of us went out to dinner and it was SUPER FUN!!!!!!!!! Here are some pics to prove it...

They say it's your Birthday?

me blowing out fake candles. fire hazard!

my cute cake.

the bling. he did well!

Well, it's true. Today I turn the big 28. Getting older is SOOOOOOOOOO weird. I don't know if I'm where I thought I would be with 28 years under my belt. I prob thought I would have had a few kids by now..but as you get older things change and plans are different. Age IS just a number and I still feel sixteen.

Yesterday I was thinking of all of the B day parties I've had...this is what I remembered...

-The first party I remember I was four and we went to McDonalds. I got a carebear. The yellow one with a cupcake on it.
-I had a B day party at Pizza hut, USA rollerskating rink, a few slumber parties......and I can't remember anything else! Then in college you have the typical binge drinking...ha!

So ya, the big 28. It's only 2pm and so far I've gotten some major bling from Antonio (beautiful necklace) a fabulous bottle of wine from one of my students and a huge box of chocolates. Don't forget the UGG boots from my parents. So far so good. Here are a few pics. I'll keep u updated as the day goes on...I'm having a dinner with 14 peeps tonight. Yipee for B days.

I don´t understand spitting. Do you really have that much extra saliva in your mouth?
Yesterday I was on the bike and as soon as I rode by this girl spit.....basically on my leg. I wanted to turn the bike around and bitch slap the shi¬ out of her.......but it´s Christmas time so I refrained.


Today at the gym after I did cardio I usually do a few weights. There were two guys just standing around and talking. As SOON as I sat down at the machine to do arms this guy came over, basically breathing down my neck and staring at me ¨waiting¨ for the machine. If you want to piss me off..then do that. I CANT STAND IT. It´s like when people tail me on the road I just go slower. So, that´s what I did in this situation. I took my sweet sweet time. It was glorious.

We have our tree up and our house is all Chrismafied. good times.
