Well, today is really shaping up to be a great one.  I am fighting with the boy and have been since last night.  Nothing like avoiding each other on a holiday.  I also have a mean stomach ache and the dogs are driving me crazy.

You will now find a link called Slim and Sexy on my sidebar.  It is going to be my fitness journal.  Challenge One starts on January 3 for me.  I will keep it updated daily. 

I upgraded to Blogrolling Gold.  Yeah, I know, I am a sucker.  Anyway, I’ve updated my blogroll and separated my porn links.  Cause I know how you all secretly love some porn. 

2004 was a fucking bitch.  I started out the year with a job in copier sales that I hated with a passion.  Then, my boyfriend of seven years and I broke up and he moved out and got his own apartment.  Then, we got back together and things were still not so well.  Then, my pitbull tried to kill my weenie dog and it cost me somewhere around $1400.00.  That resulted in me missing half a day of work, which also resulted in me getting fired from my part time gig that I got after I left the copier job.  Then me and the boy got back together and are getting engaged.  That is a good thing.  Make that one positive thing from this past year.  And I did finally finish my paralegal program that I have been working on for a year.  However, no prospect just yet of a job.  All I have to say is 2005 better be the year of my comeback or my head will freaking explode and fall off.

This is my guest bedroom is it’s finished state.  It looks so cute in person. 

Here is the new do.  Ignore how great I look in pictures please.  I am so starting that fitness challenge in 2005.  By the way, new hair is in no way easy to fix or convenient like I had planned.

Those of you up North probably think we’re retarded.  This is the temp during the summer for you, but I am in Austin.  I cannot believe it’s going to be in the 20’s for the next few nights.  Dang, that’s cold.  I may actually burn a fire in my fireplace later. 

Thanks to Kristie, I have fixed my comments.  Apparently, they weren’t linked.  So, feel free to tell me what’s on your mind now. 

My hair looks rather groovy.  I have some pics, so I’ll post them as soon as I get them off of Nicole’s camera.  I cut about 6 or 7 inches off and it is RED.  Two different reds actually.  I love my salon.  They take such good care of me.  It’s Salon Si Beau in Austin and you have to go see Chelsea for color and Pete for cut.  Sorry, I try to plug them as much as possible because they really are great people.  Anyway, I have to straighten it now and do all this crazy brushing and whatever.  It’s totally different than what I’m used to.  I’ve had below the shoulder curly hair for like 15 years.  It was my identity.  It was time for a change though.  Time to start looking like a girl again.  Having long hair, you get so in a rut of just throwing into a ponytail.  Now, I will have to fix it and I’m not going to fix my hair and not put on makeup, so there you go.  I will have to look cute.   Although, my most awesome bra that makes my gals look oh so glorious is killing my shoulders.  I am going to have to rethink that one.  Any big chested girls know the answer to cute perky tatas and comfort?  Let me know. 

For the first time in about a year and a half, I am sitting at my computer and the thought of schoolwork that needs to be done isn’t even in my head.  I am completely finished, folks.  I have graduated.  Hopefully, a job is on the horizons, but I don’t want to jinx myself.  I’ll keep you posted. 

I just finished tinkering around my my guest bedroom.  Tracy and I painted the other wall last night and fixed all the spots from the red wall fiasco.  It’s looking pretty cute.  I just need to get a bed in there now and it will be done.  One wall is turquoise and one is deep red and they touch each other.  I love those colors together.  It’s a Carribean kind of theme, I guess.  I’ll post pics as soon as I’m done though.  I hate to paint.  Let’s just let that be official.  If I never have to again, it’ll be too soon.  So now, I’m bored and trying to figure out what I want to do next around here.  I’m thinking kitchen. 

It’s really hard to photograph jewelry and diamonds, but here is my ring.  I don’t have it yet and it needs to be sized, but it’s gorgeous.

     First off, I have decided that I could stand to be a little healthier.  Well, duh!  I am still working on not drinking sodas but they really taste good and I am addicted to caffeine.  Caffeine is the enemy.  I would just drink coffee, but that makes my tummy really hurt.

     Segue into tummy issues…. another side point, how is it that so many of us bloggers have stomach issues?  Isn’t that weird?  So, I used to take two little pills every night that would make it easier for me to go.  Two little pills that I would say the name of, but the name alone sounds disgusting so I’ll let you figure it out.  Anyway, pregnant woman say that flaxseed oil is better than these two little pills.  Well, I took a shot of flaxseed oil last night.  Out of a shot glass.  It smells so benign….smells can fool you.  It was the worst tasting thing.  It’s not natural to have a glob of greasy oil in your mouth.  I have yet to see the results of it working either.  My two pills generally work by now. 

Go make your own snowflake.  It’s fun.

So I had that huge project to do and me and another girl from my class decide to compare papers and help each other proofread and all that good stuff.  Anyway, she is also helping this third girl who gets in on it to.  What does the third girl do?  Oh, copy and paste half my paper and half the first girl’s paper and smack her name on the cover and call it her own.  What a retarded bitch!  I could understand if we had different professors but not the same class.  So, I figured it out and turned her in (yeah, I know, boo, hiss).  I worked my ass off on that thing though and she is not going to reap the benefits of my hard work.  I graduate in three days damn it.  Yeah, I know, the world doesn’t work on honesty.  And get this….she is only going to get a zero on her paper.  After all the no tolerance for plagiarism that Kaplan preaches, that really irks me.  It is 23% of her grade, so she’ll more than likely fail anyway, but still.  That’s bullshit.

For those of you that are addicted to Starbuck’s, here is the recipe for those Cranberry Bliss Bars.   Merry Christmas.  Don’t say Momma Pussy Deluxe never gave you nothin. 

We are going put a deposit on the BLING BLING ring tomorrow.  It is so pretty.  I’m gonna wear all the time.  That’s the yeah news part one.

Yeah news part two would be that I am getting four new tires that I so badly needed. 

Yeah news part three is that I did not have class tonight nor will I ever have it again cause I am graduating!  I just got back two of my grades and I got a 93 and a 98.  Not too shabby to far.  2 down and 2 to go, but she’s a slow grader. 

First last night, I dreamt that I brushed my teeth so much one day that a few of them fell out and the others where really little.  (I almost know that’s from watching The Swan)

Second part I remember is dreaming that I all of a sudden had two more dogs.  One was exactly like Mazzy and the other was exactly like Leroy.  I named them Easy E and Fifty Cent. 

If you can figure out what this dream that I had last night means….

so in my dream I have a pet alligator, a pet cow, a pet pig, and a pet BABY.  They are all just hanging out in the backyard together.  I have to go to the store and I’m thinking that the alligator might eat all the others, but I HAVE to go.  I come back and the alligator has eaten every one of them.  There is blood everywhere.  All I’m thinking is "I’m really gonna miss that cow."  And then I hosed all the blood off of the grass. 

Packages have to be mailed by today to reach the soldiers by Christmas.  I picked out a soldier this weekend from www.anysoldier.com and I am sending them two boxes of goodies.  USPS now has flat rate boxes.  As much as you can stuff in them, and it’s only $7.70.  No matter what the weight is.  So, I am sending Slim Jims, Tang, Snack crackers with the peanut butter and cheese, motorcycle magazines, three CDs that I made them, Swiss Rolls, and a calendar.  Just thought I’d share. 

Is my head attached?  I’m not sure cause I haven’t taken a break to hardly even shower.  I wrote a 30 page paper yesterday and a 9 page paper today.  I still have two more to go and then the final exams (multiple choice).  Ick.  My only saving grace is that these are the last two classes and I graduate in a week.
