6 Things About Me...

I was tagged by Claire .

1. I dislike chocolate, a lot! I do not like the taste of it, or the texture, or the color. And, it makes me sick. I will eat it occasionally, but if I have a choice 99.9% of the time I will never choose a chocolate dessert. 

2. I have a really hard time cheering for any other team in the SEC other than LSU. Except... I have learned to like MSU. I never will pull for them over LSU, but I will any other SEC team. For me to cheer for an SEC team, they will have to be playing another team that I hate (like USC, OU, OSU). I think it's because I have something against most of the teams in the SEC, so even if I need to pull for them, I just cannot bring myself to doing so. If Ole Miss plays one of my out of conference hate teams, it will be a very hard choice in choosing  who to pull for. That is how much I dislike Ole Miss. 

3. I never really watched too much TV in high school. Now I am obsessed. I will watch any teenage soap opera and become addicted after one episode. It's ridiculous. 

4. This may be a little too much info, but oh well I am running out of things to say. I absolutely, positively cannot stand the sound of someone peeing. Which is why I absolutely cannot go in public bathrooms. I cannot even listen to myself pee, I have to cut water on to block out the sound. 

5. I have watched the food network so much that I can tell you the little annoying things each person does. For instance, Alton Brown smacks, and he smacks a lot and loud. 

6. I saved the best for last. I am going through the process of applying for culinary school in three years. I am actually not going to do culinary school, but baking and pastry school. If all goes as planned, I will move to Houston after I finish my teaching pay back for my scholarship and get a teaching job in Houston and go to night classes for pastry school. I want to do this for myself. Maybe decorate cakes and such on the weekend. Eventually, like after I retire from teaching later on in my life, I would like to open up a kid foods restaurant. But who knows. Mom says I change these plans daily.

Well that's all.. I tag Robin . Have fun : )

LSU :(

this is sad.. lsu just lost by 30 points. i wish it would have been the other way, but not all games go your way. at least florida is ranked, so we were not beat by 30 by an unranked team. i am curious to see how far lsu drops after this game. the whole team is to blame for this fiasco. the all stank it up. our quarterback is just a freshman,so hopefully after he gets a good fill for the sec, he will be awesome.

in other news, state beat vandy today! that's exciting. 

oh well, GEAUX TIGERS.. i still love them :)

Expensive Weekend

I spent way toooooo much money this weekend, and it's early Saturday... Yesterday I went to Jackson to see some friends from Carey. I made it to Jackson before they did so I decided to stop in Old Navy. So there was my first mistake... They had a pretty good sale and I bought too much. Then I ran in Bed, Bath and Beyond and found mom a birthday present. Then we went and ate at Kiefer's. It was so so so so so so so good! I love it!!! After dinner we went to the fair... that's when the spending got a little out of hand. We all decided we were going to ride rides and 25 dollars later on tickets, I was wishing I would have passed. Then of course we had to eat some fair food. I settled on a funnel cake with caramel and a lemonade! :)

Mental Holiday was a Success!!

Taking four days off was wonderful! I feel so refreshed from the craziness of last week. So refreshed, in fact, I am having trouble getting back to reality. I needed to do a few things over the break to stay on schedule and needless to day, I did nothing. And, I am still doing nothing. Those four days flew by so fast.... 

Saturday I spent ALL day in Baton Rouge, shopping! It was nice! Mom bought me A LOT of stuff! She kept reminding me that we were not in BR to shop for me, but I would have hated to see what all I would have been bought if it was about me!!! But really, I got some much needed clothes to wear to initiations and what not. Sunday I got to hang out with Merisha and Andrew and Zoey (the cat). It was fun to hang out with my friends again! Monday, Robin and I planned our favorite outing.. PEARL STREET! and Claire crashed our party (but we didn't mind!!) I have been craving their chicken pizza for the last seven weeks. It was SOOO good!! Since Claire crashed our party, I got to see Knox! He is getting so big! He can say Mississippi River! I am still impressed! Then Tuesday I had to drive back to the real world... NOT FUN! 

The only good thing about being back is this is a short week! Today we had to put on a reading fair at the school I am at. It was fun. We have been working a lot since school started to get ready for this and I am glad it's over. 

This weekend LSU plays Florida in the swamp! I have high hopes for my tigers (as I usually do)! Each year this is the one game I hate watching. Reason #1 - No matter what Florida is ranked, they always put up a fight, which means I have 30 heart attacks during the game. Reason #2 - I HATE HATE HATE the chomp. It unnerves me. Reason #3- I like Tim Tebow. He's a good guy... I hate that we made him cry last season, but I like beating him, since he's one of the best! 

Well I need to go read my book that I have not started and am having a test on tomorrow... 

Geaux Tigers! Beat those Gators! 

terrible week = great weekend and fall break!

It's almost Friday. I made comments at the end of each week prior to this one, that these weeks are flying by. I wish I could say the same about this one. I feel like Monday was forever ago. I kept thinking today that the week was over, then I remember I still have a whole day left. I have two presentation tomorrow. One of them is a dramatic presentation. Since I have not a drop of dramatic ability, this should be interesting. 

Tomorrow about 12:30 I will headed to Natchez. It's the first time I have been home in seven weeks. Fall break is Monday and Tuesday so I am going on a mental holiday for the next four days. Well, as close to a mental holiday as I can get. Of course, I still have a lot of stuff to do, but it will not be bad. 

LSU is off this weekend... but I am still going to Baton Rouge! I have missed it dearly! I need some new LSU shirts and items! 

prayer request and a few other things!

I'm hoping the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" has some truth to it. It's only Monday and I am just praying I live to see Friday. This week is the monster of all monsters.

Geaux Tigers!! - btw, college football was AWESOME this weekend!! I love upsets (except when LSU is upset, of course!)

Please be in prayer for my mother. Last Thursday, my grandmother (moms mom) was put in the hospital for congestive heart failure, and was not given good news. The doctors talked to her about quality of life and where to go from here. She has major blockage in her neck, that is going to cause a stroke. She needs surgery, but isn't strong enough to make it through surgery. My mom spent Saturday calling the family, to let everyone know what is going on. She could not get in touch with one of her brothers, so her other brother said he would let him know if he found him. Early Sunday morning, my uncle called to let my mom know that he found their brother and he was dead. He died Saturday night/ Sunday morning of a heart attack. My grandmother checked herself out of the hospital yesterday to go home and be with his kids. 

Thanks. 

LSU and an unsafe apartment!

Since LSU plays State tomorrow, this week has been interesting!! Of course, I have sported my LSU items to class everday!! Let's just say I did not make many friends :) My window at my apartment shares the LSU love, as well. It has not made many friends this week either.... This morning when I went to get in my car, I noticed there was a sign on my windshield. The sign said "Geaux to hell LSU" in a nice shade of purple. This was after I sat on my stairs all night scared to death, because someone kept coming and knocking on my windows. After seeing the sign, I think that is what it had to do with. Which is ok, because the LSU stuff is staying put!!  

Normally, I would have run outside when someone was knocking on my window to see who it was, but not this week. Sometime last Saturday, someone stole three bikes from my back porch. My porch is gated in and the bikes were chained to the fence, so the robber had to open the gate and look around to see that they were chained to the fence. Then they had to go get something to cut the chains, so these were not just people who happen to notice three bikes and grab them. That has had be scared all week. Then Thursday morning, I noticed the door was open a little bit at the apartment next to me. No one lives there, so the door should be shut and locked. The people that live on the other side of the apartment said someone broke the lock and went in. Besides the fact that whoever broke into that apartment broke the lock, which is the same lock on my door, the person who broke in had to have watched that apartment for a while to know that no one lives there. I just figured out last week that no one lives there and I walk past it everyday. I'm scared they know that only girls live here and that most of the time I am here by myself. After the bikes were stolen, I went and talked to the lady at our management company and she called the security guard to watch our little section closely. I have yet to see him, so I am not sure how good he is doing his job! 

Well this week at school is going to be the craziest, hardest week of the entire semester!!!! Hopefully, I will survive!! 

LSU vs. State Saturday at 7:30 on ESPN, now I'm off to watch the debate!

GEAUX TIGERS GEAUX!!!
