Wednesday Wish

Week 11

(In honor of X-Men 2 ...) What "mutant" power would you wish to have ?

Hmmm probably the power to teleport anywhere - that way I would be with Pete a lot and not have to pay for airline tickets. Or get to school faster than driving, etc etc.

Got the my niece and nephew Baptism outfits today at Babies R' Us!! Such a cute store!! My sister is a pain to shop with though! hehe. Awww my nephew spit up on me in the store so now I smell of baby formula but thats okay! I always get so broody when I'm there! So Pete and I are now talking about how much we wish we could have a baby soon hehe - don't worry we have no plans for this just commenting hehe. Oooo by the way I added pics of my presents to my MSN Group for everyone who is a member ;)

Tonight I will be watching the 2 hour Finale of Dawson's Creek! (Jennie - if you want to know what happens I will probably go into it on my blog either tonight or tomorrow hehe as I know you used to be a fan and don't get the WB properly)

Looks like both Pete and I are:


China -
Debatably the most ancient and longstanding
cultures around, it is nowadays viewed as a
heavily populated but impovershed nation.


Positives:

Big.

Eclectic History.

Communist-Run (Control).

Worldwide Manufacturer.


Negatives:

Communist-Run (Bitterness).

Technologically Outdated.

Dissent.



Which Country of the World are You?

Actually I did it the first time and I ended up to be Iraq! So I had to do it over again! hehe.

Morning

Well our AC was broken here in the house from Saturday afternoon until yesterday evening! UGH! This is FL so it was 95 F yesterday! It wasn't the kind of heat where you sweat - more the humidity where you can't breath proper if your AC is broken. At least its fixed now! Pete's been having a really bad week. On Saturday night he was having family problems - I'm not getting into it really as its barely any of my business nevermind anyone elses. But we talked a lot on Saturday night about it and he felt better. Then on Sunday LFC (Liverpool Football Club) lost to Chelsea (Chelsea United ?) Grrr so Pete was really upset! Yesterday his tooth was bothering him all day and he got soaking wet in the rain. Poor baby. After school today I'm going to my sister's to babysit for her for a hour while she goes to the dentist - then I'm sleeping over there as I don't have classes on Weds. Then on Weds my mom, my sister and I are going to pick out the babies Baptism outfit hehe yay! Anyway just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive - and happy now with AC!

Awwwww I finally could download this card! Thanks so much Jennie!





Hope everyone in the US and other countries that celebrate it today are having a very Happy Mother's Day!

Just tried out my new Walking DVD. It was interesting. First I did the Power Walk for 2 miles - they used weight gloves which are just what they sound like, gloves with 1 or 2 lb weighs in them, instead I tried to use my Walkaway belt as I don't have any 1 or 2 lb weights anyway, so that was interesting. I have to say I didn't really like the power walk - Leslie did this weird tapping thing - where you tap to the side with each foot - that combined with some upper body movements totally confused me as I have zero hand - eye coordination as it is! Then I did the firming - I guess it was about 25-30 minutes I'm not sure. Leslie starts off with a walk and a few kicks, then goes to stretching and balancing the upper outer thigh muscles. Then she goes onto a mat (pretty much like a yoga mat - which is really good that I didn't try this before as I just got a yoga mat for my bday even though I don't do yoga but I needed for my pilaties (sp?) dvd that i haven't really used and now for this one.) The did some more firming of the outter back thigh and backend muscles, then did inner thighs (which I need most!) very good training I think - I will feel it tomorrow I expect! She used 1 or 2 lb ankle weights - which I think my mom might have somewhere (from back when she exercised hehe) but I didn't use any because I didn't have them on me and am just starting out. I guess I give the total DVD three *** (stars) for useful firming but weird power walking hehe. Better hit the showers!

Gotta mention this before I forget - I was just in the grocery store and saw Leslie Sansone on a Walking Fit little magazine. Go to www.walkingfit.com to see the cover, I was going to get it but it was like $4 and rather small. :)

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehehe. Thanks for all the B-day wishes! Jennie - I didn't get your card :( I tried to tell you to send it to Pete's email but your Comments wouldn't let me post :( I'll post on my Zonk board his address. Thanks for the Wishes Jennie, Kamie and Simone and everyone else who will tell me ;) Pete sent me a cute ecard this morning so thanks baby ;) Got a lovely necklace with a charm on it that says "Aunt of Twins" from my sis - thanks Michelle! And $$ from my granny and great aunt, and nana hehe. From Pete I got a Me to You bear, earrings, and a card :) Will take pics of my presents and but them on my MSN group soon :)

Alright I hate blogger, I just wrote this long post (including that huge list of useless info about me found on other blogs) Anyway then Blogger just went nuts :( Tired or posting! I might post later when I have the energy! Ooo happy birthday to my Uncle Dave he turns 33 today! We all chipped in and got him a comforter/duvet set for his bed ;) Very manly and nice, we did the bed up for him yesterday and he was all surprised :) Ooo my bday is tomorrow ! Not really getting anything I don't already know about hehe oh well! ;)

Tuesday This or That (www.this-or-that.org)

The Media Edition (very apt as I am now taking Intro to Mass Communications)

1) TV or radio ?

Definitely TV, but if theres nothing on, or I don't have a TV around (like in my room) I turn on the radio.

2) On the radio: talk or music station ?

Definitely Music! Who wants to listen to people talk ? Gimme some tunes man! Makes my drive to school seem faster or less boring.

3) Actual book or book on tape (or ebook) ? We were discussing this in my Mass Com class today - definitely an actual book.

4) Actual Newspaper or web version ?

Usually neither but the web is easier and doesn't get your hands black!

5) Wall Street Journal or the National Enquirer ?

Neither - one is too boring the other is too crazy.

6) TV news...news channel such as CNN or local boadcast news ?

Depends on what I wanna know about - usually a news program but usually I don't watch the news.

7) A movie you've been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway or pass ?

See it anyway. Critics know nothing.

8) See movies when they first come out or wait a few weeks for the lines that the theaters to get showers ?

Depends on the movie - usually wait though, as I don't always have the time or money to go see a movie when it first comes out.

9) TV: cable, satellite dish, or plain old antenna ?

Cable at home at the moment :( Miss satellite - mostly BBC American and Fox Sports (as they show English football)

10) Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would it be print (newspaper, magazines) or electronic (TV or internet) ? Why ?

Ummm well ideally I would be content with the print only but in the modern world probably electronic - especially if Pete's in England as I can't not talk to him! Oh the wonders of LDR's - getting quite annoying. hmph. 51 days thank god.

Ooo I got to school early today so I went online and changed my graphics on my homepage (http://www.geocities.com/princessjuls02) The summer graphics very much reflex the summer like weather here in FL!!! Sooo HOT and GROSS - thank god for AC! The guestbook addresses are messed up so the View and Sign buttons don't work at the moment - will have to fix then again when I get to a PC - still on my mom's Mac ugh.

I feel: DAFT

Imood doesn't have DAFT as a mood so I picked goofy as meaning somewhat of the same type of thing. Wanna know why I feel daft ? Well you know how sometimes people will forget they put something on top of their car - such as a cup or something - and drive away until I falls off ???? Well I did that today, only it wasn't a cup, or a soda, or anything - it was MY WALLET !!! I didn't even notice until after I had gone over the Bridge of Lions (getting out of St. Aug), when it fell off the top of my car and landed in the street. Luckily everything connected and I turned around and went back to get it. Just as I had parked in a local motel and legged it across the street this car pulled up and a girl got out and picked up my wallet....as she did that I yelled "Excuse me.." she asked me if it was mine , I said yes and explained that I'd left it on the top of my car really quickly. So I got my wallet back! Thank god! That would have been a pain in the @$$ to get a new drivers license, credit card, debit card etc etc!!! Brrrr I have no common sense sometimes!!

Helllloooo How Are Youuuuu ?

Well first day of summer classes went off without a hitch which is good. I left the house at 7:45am and got into St. Augustine at 9am will a stop for gas. Then I went to get my books, both of which I got used for a total of $102 - which isn't bad I guess seeing as it was only 2 books. I told Pete how much they were and he was shocked lol as I told him College is expensive. I know I might have found them cheaper online but its just easier for me to get them at the school - and I can get the money back that I paid for them as it is covered with my Financial Aid, all I have to do is fill out a paper and I get a check for the amount. That amount is then added to the amount I will be paying on until the day I die pretty much. Damn college loans! Anyway I have to read a bit for my classes tomorrow but not too much hehe. At least I get Weds off every week :) Be back on later probably!

Daily Double (http://www.half-your-size.org/dd/)

1. If you can meet any celeb in the world, who would it be ?

Hmmmm probably Prince William! He's not really a celeb but close enough hehe. I was obsessed with him for about a year when I was 13-14. Still think he is so gorgeous!

2. Your house is burning down..you have 2 minutes to grab 4 items. What 4 items are you going to take?

First of all this question is totally unrealistic! If your house is burning down 1) You aren't going to have time to th ink about saving items nevermind have at time limit of 2 minutes to get a total of 4 items. That being said I would save the rocking horse my Pop Pop had built for me when I was just born (has my name on it), probably as many cards and stuffed animals from Pete that I would gather, the diamond earrings my grandma passed down to me and the diamond heart necklace my mom got me for my 16th Birthday, and if possible my white dress which I really want to fit back into for my wedding someday hehe. (I originally bought it for prom my Junior year but it was much to fancy and i didn't want to get it ruined hehe) Thats more than 4 items but again how unrealistic this question is!

Hi hi. As you can see I found a blinkie of my name from Cute Design so I used it in my signature thing ;) I have to say I'm getting decent with HTML which is good I guess hehe. Also I added a countdown til I go to England on the right side :) Not too much going on around here - but my summer classes start tomorrow. I guess its something to do until I get to go to England and see Pete :) 53 days woo hoo!!

Hmmmmmm

I'm tired but not. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to be lazy when you're home alone ? No one to answer to so why do anything right ? Exactly. About an hour ago I could have started my walking but alas I didn't - actually my throat and ears really hurt all of a sudden :( It started when I was on the phone with Pete (he called me hehe.) Anyway so I feel weird, really hope I'm not getting sick! I haven't unpacked my big black suitcase of clothes from college yet - most of them are more winter type than summer type so I really don't need them so why bother ? Geez am I lazy right now!!! I finished off the box of Chips Ahoy Cremewiches in the freezer mmmm those are so addictive!

In other news: Ooooo Pete went to Basildon today. Well when I got up to meet him online at our usual meeting time for the weekends I got an email from him saying he'd be an hour and a half later. Ok - so I went back to bed, took a shower etc. Then when I went back online he wasn't on :( Then I decided to go to the motel and work a bit (my dad needed my help.) So I got online there about an hour later and Pete came on hmmmmm. I was a bit pissed off that he was so late. So then I told him I had to work and I'd meet him later. When I got on later I asked him what he'd done today and he said "Got my baby a present" or something like that. Hmmmmmm! Therefore he dodged the abuse of me being like: "You went to Basildon for a stupid reason etc your selfish blah blah blah." Instead he gets the questions such as "Will I like this present ? When will I get it ? Is it big?" etc. So did he really get me a present or is it just an act to not make me all pissed off ? He said I would get the present when I'm there. The only thing I can think of is an engagement ring. But if it was that why would he even tell me ? He keeps saying he wants that to be surprise so why would be tell me he got anything to begin with ? Or maybe he got me something else and is just letting me think its a ring ? I'm all confused! Guess I will have to wait til after June 28th!!! Ahhhh!! Nighty Night!

Saturday Slant: Week 8

"If you were banished from reality into a faery tale of your choice, which would it be, which character would you choose to become and why ?"

Hmmmmm pretty easy one for me ;) I would be Alice from Alice in Wonderland, but with one catch - it would be the EA Games demented version of ALICE hehehehe. I would have to take Pete and he could be the Rabbit or the Cheshire (sp?) Cat ;) We would fight off the cardguards and other evil demented creatures ;) Ok we have too much time on our hands I know! hehe.

Hi hi. Okay I have no self control - I ended up opening my main present this morning :) Pete got me really nice earrings (I will take pics of all my presents from him later this coming week :)) He also got me a Me to You bear that is holding a gold ballon that says Happy Birthday and has a little book with the story of the Me to You bear - which you can also read on the website. With that he sent me a Me to You keychain he picked up awhile ago - little bear on the phone (i think he has the matching one) He also got me a card - which from the envelope I can tell is a Me to You bear one but I shall wait and open that on my actual bday :) Today he also ordered a TShirt for me from FrenchConnection.com which says "I may not be totally perfect... but there are parts of me that are fcukin' excellent" Notice the spelling: fcuk as in French Connection UK hehe. My and my friend Sara LOVE those shirts hehe I have to get her one when I am in England for her 20th Bday (AHHH!) in Sept! hehehe.

I got my hair cut :) It looks good - I shall upload a pic onto my MSN group later today so Pete can see it :) Oooooo speaking of Pete....my birthday present from him just came!!! My birthday isn't until next Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!! He says I can open it now or wait grrr dunno what I want to do! Both of my parents say I should wait hehe.

Morning

Ooo did I tell you ? My sister asked me to be my Nephew's God mother yay!! hehe. The Christening will be on May 18th. You're probably wondering why I'm not my Niece's as well - because my sister and her hubby want to include everyone so his sister and sister-in-law are my Georgia's god mothers. My brothers god fathers to one of each (Chris to Georgia and Patrick to Richard I think)

I watched a thing on Osama Bin Laden on the History Channel last night - very interesting. I rarely watch the History Channel here in the US but I always do when I'm at Pete's - probably because they keep it on all the time. Tonight is Hitler so I might watch that - always good to know about people. Did anyone see Dawson's Creek last night ???!!!!! Only two more shows left!!! Who will lose their life ??? I think maybe Pacey ? It can't be Joey or Dawson (as the last epidsode I think will go ahead five years and see them get married? I saw the preview for that or at least Joey was getting married to who though ?) I know I'm a freak - I started watching it my freshmen year of high school I think or was it 8th grade ? And I'm addicted hehe something about growing up with them or something I guess. Well off to get my hair cut!! Peace out.

Hi hi. Not too much going on today - just cleaning up the house. My mom and I watched Two Weeks Notice which was cute :) Have you ever been really in the mood for something to eat and not been able to have it and it just so happens that someone else your talking to is having it ? Well earlier I was really in the mood for chinese food - well I have been for a few days. I was chatting with Pete and I mentioned that the chinese dish he usually gets from take out sounded really good to me at that time. Well about an hour later he says his mum is ordering Chinese!! Not Fair! So I was all jealous hehe. I caught some of Manor House on PBS last night it was really interesting. This group of people pretend to live in the Edwardian Age in England in this documentary. Some people are the nobility of the house and the others are the servants. It was really interesting to hear all customs and rules that were in that society at the time. Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut yay I will report more about it and how it turned out after I see the "new me." Pete and I were talking about getting engaged and such again today hehe reoccuring theme, he wants to keep it all a surprise so it being all secretive hehe.
