Do you like hot chocolate? Love it!
Have you ever been to Times Square to watch the ball drop? No sir.

FEBRUARY
Who was your Valentine? I'm kinda anti-Valentines. Maybe I am a cynic, but it's just silly to me to have a day a year when you show the person you love that you love them...shouldn't that be every day???
When you were little did you buy Valentine's for the whole class? Of course.
Do you care if the groundhog sees its shadow or not? Not really...winter doesn't mean much in St. George

Do you get tons of candy for Easter? Not tons but I get enough.
Do you celebrate 4/20? No sir. BUT, there is a school in Boulder Colorado that does, so if you are into that thing...that would be a good place for you.
Do you love the month of April? April is okay, but it's probably not my fave...

MAY
What is your favorite flower? I like a hibiscus.
Finish the phrase "April showers…" Are epic when St. George actually gets them!

What do you want this year? I don't really care. I got super good stuff. :) And the last season I needed of Boston Legal so now I can get my Alan Shore fix whenever I desire!!
What do you love most about December? Snow in the rare occurences that we get it and warm, yummy beverages that go with the cold.

So...2008 is almost done and I'm glad cause this year wasn't my best. I'm looking forward to 2009 and everything it has in store. I'm sure it'll be an adventure with a new president taking over in January, starting my program in college, moving (AGAIN) this weekend, and just riding the year out as it goes! As for 2008, good riddance! And RIP Boston Legal!! Good riddance 2008 and Happy New Years 2009! :)

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Christmas has come early in St. George this year, cause it is snowing!!! I LOVE the snow and miss it SOOOO much after growing up in Wisconsin. It's nice that we don't get a whole lot of it, but this unusual snow storm is super!! I love it and I hope we get enough that actually sticks this time around!
It's crazy how busy life gets around the holidays. I haven't wrapped any presents yet and I still have to go buy a good amount of them. I don't know where all the time goes, but it seems to disappear!
I'm going to start volunteering for a hospice company in St. George. I wanted to do something to give back to those who don't have as much as I do. I watched a program on TLC Sunday, "The Mermaid Girl," about this little 8-year old girl who has a disease where her legs are fused together, like a mermaid. Anyway, this adorable girl has so many health problems, a low, low, low life expectancy, and the greatest outlook I have ever seen. She was the happiest person, and I couldn't help but think how this poor girl has extremely limited mobility, has already had two kidney transplants, and quite possibly the greatest personality ever. It just gave me a desire to do something useful with myself and help out those who need it. I think we should all be grateful for what we have and use what we have been given to help those who aren't as fortunate. I guess this post is just about a month late huh, it should've appeared around Thanksgiving!!

As promised...

Here are some pictures of Cullen!!

Here he is with my mom who absolutely adores him and vice-versa.

Climbing on the computer desk....
This is his sister, Aida. They aren't really brother and sister, but my roommate adopted her, so now they are a very happy family and they are SOOOOO cute together.

When I first brought him home, this was his favorite place to sleep, in the sink! He still loves it, but he's gotten more comfortable in one of my dad's old sweatshirts.

This is my favorite picture of him. He is such a little stud!

He's so much fun, even if he is a little troublemaker. He loves to follow me around when I'm getting ready and he likes to jump in the tub, even if he hasn't made sure there isn't water in it!! He's a goofy cat with so much character and I can't wait to see how he turns out as he gets older. He's about 4 1/2 months old right now and just a lot of fun!!!

Please Christmas, Don't Be Late

Well, it's December. Where in the heck did 2008 go??? Life has been INSANE the last couple weeks. Dad had surgery on his back at the beginning of November so I've been over there a lot helping out. Circumstances at my old house encouraged me to move out much sooner than planned...like one morning I packed up and moved sort of quickness. Thanksgiving was good...quiet, but good. Black Friday was CRAZY but I got some really good presents for super good prices...and season 5 of One Tree Hill for $13, so I was super happy.
Work has been SOOOOO slow. It's terrible. It makes me wish I had loads of homework, because then I'd actually be doing something productive while I'm here.
I got a kitten, Cullen. He is SOOO cute and he loves his mama so much! :) He's four months old and a little stud. I'll put some pictures of him up in my next post. My roommate got a kitten too, Aida, and the he's like her big brother protector. It's adorable. The jackass who stole my cute little puppy thought it'd be funny or something to send me a picture of him and he's huge. It's hard to even recognize him. I feel so bad that the poor little guy is stuck with that loser, I just wish there was some way to have saved him from that fate. :( Hopefully I'm a better mom for Cullen than I was for poor Capone, although being lied too isn't completly inevitable, right????
But, the past is in the past, and I'm so looking forward for 2009 to ring in. I need a change of scene, of everything. I registered at Dixie, but I'm hoping this is my last semester there. I'm not guaranteeing anything because of my track record, but I'm definately ready to move on. I've got some ideas in my head of what I want to do and I think I've decided a plan, but I'm not going to say anything until everything is said and done. I hate it when I change my mind and sound like a dumb ass!!!!
Other than that, life is just the same old stuff, different day! Boring, huh? I need some excitement soon cause St George is draining any livelyhood I have to offer. Hence why this post is so awful and dull. Sorry, I'll spare you from falling into the same, boring, dead trance I've been in the last little bit. It's not a fun place at all!!!
