Six months ago today...

Six months ago today our fur baby Cosmo passed away. I know many people think it is silly to so attached to a pet, but he simply was part of our family. He was like our child and lordy did he know it. That boy couldn't have gotten more love and attention if he had been a human boy lol. We still talk about him and look at his pictures and laugh as we remember funny stories. The aching is less now than when he passed, but it still seems empty and quiet here in the house. We hung his stocking this year, because it just seemed wrong not to.I was just looking through pictures on my computer and found some of Cosmo from past Christmas's so I thought I would share.

Testing my knowledge...

Testing my knowledge and understanding of this weeks readings, discussions and replies means it is quiz time. My quizzes are due on Sundays but I went ahead and took it tonight to get it over with and I was thrilled that I got 10 out of 10 which is an A! It was my last quiz for this course which is awesome. I had 4 quizzes during this course and scored 10 out of 10 on the last three. The first test I missed 1 point out which equals out to be .5% of the grade on it..so that's still not too bad. It is snowing here tonight and there has been some ice as well. The temperature right now is 18 degrees with a windchill of 3 degrees the wind is 19mph with 33mph gusts. The overnight low is expected to be 6 degrees with minus 10 degree windchill and winds gusting up to 45mph. I am hoping that the power stays on, and that the snow accumulates. We haven't had any snow accumulation yet this winter, and I am a total sucker for snow as long as I can look at it from the warmth of the house. I am looking forward to Christmas break from school and it cannot come soon enough. I wish you all a happy holiday season and look forward to your comments.

Patience is a Virtue

 Patience is a virtue, I have said this often to my nieces and nephews. This is one virtue I like to think I have, but man I am sure starting to wonder. I have been waiting for a very important check for a very long time now. I am in desperate need of the money as I have 32 cents to my name and am running out of daily necessities. The check was supposed to be mailed out on Friday December 10, 210, but then I was told it will not be processed until Monday the 13th and that it can take up to 4 days to be mailed out. So they told me to expect it to be mailed out on the 17th..which means it will arrive here no sooner than the 20th. This puts me a week behind schedule on everything...basically everything is at a standstill until it arrives. I am SOOOO tired of waiting...almost 7 months is way to long to wait for one stinking check. Please if you all could send thoughts and prayers that it arrives quickly and without any difficulties. I am scared to death it might get lost in the Christmas mail rush. How I wish I could fast forward time until the moment that check arrives. So I have created a ticker to help me count down the days. Can you all give me suggestions of how you make the days go by faster? I feel like a caged animal at this point.

Why bother?

I feel like writing out a whole long post, pouring my feelings out here because I cannot let them out anywhere else without people thinking I'm selfish, spoiled, bratty etc. Then again I think to myself...why bother writing them out anywhere? Does anyone really care? Would letting everything out change anything? The answer is no, it would not change anything. I am so tired of keeping things in, so tired of walking on eggshells so that I don't upset everyone else. I am so tired of not knowing who I am anymore. Just plain tired of everything. I used to pray that I would wake to another beautiful day on Earth. Now when I wake..I think..."oh, another day..to get through." I don't want to just "get through" each day. I want to be able to enjoy life. I have tried to be strong, I have tried to be positive, I am simply tired of trying. My give a damn is busted. I guess I am letting my emotions and thoughts out here..and anyone reading this will just assume I am being a whiny brat, so I will go. I probably won't be back again until I am truly happy, or until I can at least fake some sense of happiness.

YouTube Channel....

So how many of you out there have your own YouTube channel? I have one which only has two videos up, they are videos of me singing. I admit that they are not very good and that I should have practice the songs before slapping them up on YouTube. Oh well lol. I do plan to practice some songs and record them for my YouTube. I would love to have the link to your YouTube channels. Also I would love some suggestions for videos that I can create for my channel. I cannot wait to hear from you all. Here is the link for my YouTube.

....New........

So a few weeks ago I broke down and bought a new laptop. I have major issues with buying new items, especially when they cost a great deal of money. My previous laptop was almost four years old and was having major problems, we knew that any day it was going to quit on me. So after a lot of hesitation about letting go on money and after researching laptops online for weeks we purchased an Asus G73JH, just like the one pictured to the left of this post. Just click the link to check it out. I highly recommend this computer to anyone. It is an awesome machine. I can personally say I did not pay $1,549.99 for mine, but that is still an amazing price for this computer. Mine has a 6GBs of Ram and a 500GB hard drive. It is soooooo much faster at everything. The storage capacity is massive, which is great because I have movies, ebooks, etexts and loads of documents and pictures on it. This computer is perfect for everything I want to do from school work, chatting with my friends, watching movies and gaming. I have played World of Warcraft and Sims3 at ma settings, and it runs and look amazing. My old laptop go to where it could not even play facebook games, so this is a huge step forward. I love the built in camera and microphone as well. I am so excited over this new laptop that I had to share it with the rest of you. So lol end of my excited laptop rant.

 I am now on a break from school and I am thrilled about the idea of no papers or homework for a few weeks. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely lucky to be in school, but everyone needs a break. I know several of you are college students as well, when do your summer breaks end? Are you looking forward to getting back to the classroom? I am also wondering how many of you use electronic textbooks? I really love being able to few my books on my computer, and the search feature is a life saver when I am trying to find a certain topic quickly. Where do you all generally buy your textbooks? I buy mine through my school as rarely as I can, they are so expensive from the school bookstore. I try to find mine through vendors online or from the publisher direct. Chegg.com and Amazon.com have been awesome places too.

So yesterday July 8, 2010 was my nieces Millie and Maddie's 9th birthday. I am sure many of you know all about them, since I often talk about them. They are great girls and I wish them the best in life. They were going to go out to dinner with their daddy and his girlfriend tonight after spending a few days at his house (my brother). Then they are going to have a party at their momma's. I have some pictures of them I should share soon. I really miss them now that they are living a few hours away, and I don't get to see them as often as I used to.

My best friend Anna had her baby girl Samantha Ashley on July 6th. She is a beautiful little thing. I would like to share some pictures of her, but I would like to ask Anna for her permission first. I am so happy that Sam is healthy and man she is beyond adorable. Anna is a momma of three now. If you all could say some prayers for her recovery as she had to have a Csection with Samantha. She is rather sore now and has staples in her belly that she is nervous to have removed.


I guess I will wrap this up for now. I hope to be posting more often now and that I will hear from some of you.
