The Redneck is back....
English Redneck has finally blogged again, so I am adding him to my reads. BTW he's my fiance Pete if you didn't know that ;) Again, as always, bloody hilarious, vulgar, but sweet - but I am biased. ;)
In other stuff...
I went to Barnes and Noble after a very healthy lunch at Taco Bell, haha, yeah. Why is everything so freaking expensive there?! I was tempted to get "Olivia Joules" by Helen Fielding, and "To Have and to Hold" (UK title: "Spellbound") by Jane Green. Both are only in hardcovers here though ugh! $25 each, yeah okay, because I'm not broke as it is! But then I went to the WH Smith's website and "Spellbound" is like 3.50 quid! And "Olivia Joules" is coming out in paperback on 2 July. MMMMM I love Smith's!!! Sorry I know, I'm crazy.
My mom and Patrick (brother) have yet to call us from California. Hmph. I checked to see if the plane landed, yup even early so they're (presumably) okay. Then again expecting either of them to take into consideration that we might be worried is laughable so I'm sure they're fine.
I have to come back here tomorrow at 5pm to meet two girls from my speech class I'm doing the debate with...ugh. At least it'll all be over on Friday!
I'm going to go pretend to read info for the debate until 2pm when I told Pete I'd get on. Addicted to the computer, yup, that's me!

In Two Weeks Time....
I will be in ENGLAND!!!! yay!!!!
Wearing my Penalty Spot shirt today to be sarcastic and ironic about the match yesterday lol. Pete was less than pleased I can tell you. If you don't know, England lost to France yesterday in the Euro 2004.
Haven't been doing much around here. Last week of summer classes woohoo. I'm home alone this week as my mom and younger brother are leaving for California today and my dad and youngest brother will be at the motel. So I'm alone with the doggies, but it'll be nice, a bit of alone time. Because as much as I love and miss Pete, he drives me nuts sometimes and him being still unemployed will mean that we'll be together 24/7 which does have its advantages but might drive us both a bit nuts ;) As if we weren't already hehe.
I watched "Mona Lisa Smile" that I got from Blockbuster as a 2 for $10 previously viewed deal. It was a really good movie! I would recommend it to anyone who was thinking about seeing it but hasn't yet. I also finished reading "Straight Talking" by Jane Green, it was pretty good :)Typical Jane Green, very accurate to life but with a happy ending ;)

Almost There!
Half way through my second to last week of summer classes yay! Have my persuasive speech on Thurs - ugh just want to be done with it!
On Saturday I went to church with my great Aunt, then I met my sister at the mall. We went to dinner and then to the mall until I closed (9pm.) It was fun :) During dinner the horse race was on in the bar area and everyone was screaming, we saw that the president came on and were wondering why. Well later that night when I got home I found out that Ronald Reagen died. This was a bit weird as my Aunt was just saying how sick he was earlier in the day (I guess she saw it on the news.)
Well then on Sunday my sister, her hubby, and the babies came to the beach to play. I was video taping them a lot, it didn't seem to hot on the beach but was I wrong! I got BURNT to a KRISP! Especially on my back along where the straps were! Ouch!!! It still hurts!
Umm not much else going on! in less than 20 days I'll be in England! yay!!!!
My mom and brother are going to California on the 14th for 8 days so that should be cool for them :)

Stuff
On Weds I went to Payless and ended up getting two pairs of sandals. One are more dressy to wear with my black dress that Pete got me when he was here. I needed something I could walk in if needed. So I got these. And I also really liked these. And they were having a buy one get one half off on their sandals so I got both pairs for like $20 :)
I was suppose to do something with my sister yesterday afternoon, but her husband hurt his back and had to be taken to the hospital :( He's okay now, in pain but okay, I don't think its serious. So we might do something tomorrow evening.
I got stuck in the rain today and am now FREEZING in the air conditioned library with soggy socks and sneakers/trainers lol. Brrrrr.

Good day
Today has been a good day :)
My speech went well, so that is a big load off my back. Only one more major speech to go and I'm done! Wow. If you don't know why its such a big deal it just is ;)
My uncle's gf has been making an attempt to be pleasant, I think she's just like me, not very social. Which sometimes comes off as being b*tchy and rude (not that I am of course!) Anyway she was cleaning out her old clothes and gave me some cute skirts :) A demin one, a white one with a pink floral print, and a black one with a blue floral print. I'm in a skirt phase I guess :) I'm wearing the demin one now, its lightweight, frayed around the edges, and comes to about the knee. Its nearly 2 sizes too big, but it fits pretty good. I think I might make another button hole so that I'm not so paranoid about it falling down, but my hips are holding it up lol. The other two skirts are extra-large size but with the elastic they fit good :)
Anyway after class I rewarded myself by going to KFC and getting a Twister combo. Hmph, another place in St.Aug I know not to go to. Its not that it was bad, but the twister wrap thing was hard (old), the chicken was hard (old, and not warm), the dressing on it was very minimal, the lettuce wasn't the freshest it could be, and I guess you can't screw up a tomato without having a rotten one. Why is every place around here so crap? Taco Bell is decent but not clean. Anyway then I went to Target, I got a book "Straight Talking" by Jane Green and little metalic tags that say: "Wedding", "Engagement," "Love," "Cake", "Bouquet", and maybe something else - to use in my engagement scrapbook (which I wanna get finished with by the time I go to England) and the wedding scrapbook I have gotten (which I won't be starting for some time ie after the wedding!) I got the tags as the Target here had better stuff in that department than the one near my house. Anyway off to chat with Pete :)

Dresses - Round 2
Well I downloaded Hello onto my uncle's PC here at the motel. Wow its really easy to download pics now yay - well on a pc anyway, hopefully Hello will come out with a version for macs!
The pic below is of the dress I put on hold last weekend. I'm not getting it as of yet, I still want to look around a lot more. I put a few more pics of it on my msn group so you can go there to view more if your a member :) If not, you can apply to join here but I have to know you before I will approve you ;)
Also got a new swim suit for like $20 yesterday! The "suggest retail price" was like $72!!! Got it at Sam's Club, which is a warehouse shopping center, similar to Costco's or BJ's if you're familiar with those.
Thats about it, not doing much, was working today. Need the $$$ so thats good.
Speaking of money, Pete did something very sweet. He asked his parents if we could get tickets for Romeo and Juliet for his birthday! :) We didn't know if we were going to be able to go otherwise because of the low finances being job-less and poor as we are hehe. So yay! I think he's going to call them up about when there are seats available this week :)

A Month Cannot Pass Fast Enough!
Well the only good aspect of today is that a month from now, in about an hour, I will be boarding my lovely Virgin Atlantic Flight to London!!!! And a month from tomorrow I will see Pete at the airport (if immigration doesn't hold me hostage again.)
Weird thing for today: This morning I was driving to school, those who don't know I drive an hour each way for my summer classes. Well there I was, about 1/4 way through my nearly daily journey when I pass two police officers who were in front of a restraunt talking. They both looked at me as I passed them in my little '92 Toyota Tercel. So I checked my speed, wasn't speeding. I though "hmph that's strange!" So I keep driving, I saw them get into their car as soon as I passed so I knew I was going to get stopped. So the sirens come on, I pull over into the next parking lot. There are TWO cop cars kinda blocking me in. Ooookay. This really friendly police officer says good morning as he approaches, I say hi. He then looks in my car, and says...."Sorry, but when you passed I thought I saw a BABY IN YOUR LAP WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING. Sorry about that, have a good day. Drive safe." WTF ????!!!!!!! Very Bizarre!
Other than that today has been crap, enough said.

Dresses Galore!!
Wedding dresses that is! God, just two years ago I was with my dear and wonderful friends in high school going shopping for prom dresses, and in another two years I will be getting married!!!
It was a very exhausting day considering we only went to two bridal shops and I tried on a total of about 6 dresses I think. Getting into the dress and getting all the underwear on is hard work!
First I picked out a few dresses that were similar to one I saw and I liked in a magazine. (Maggie Sottero "Felicity.") But they just didn't fit me properly, I didn't feel like a bride in them. The last dress I tried on by chance in the first shop; my mom just picked it off the sales rack to let me try on something different. It was very traditional, reminded me of 4 Weddings and a Funeral and all the traditional wedding dresses you see, with the beaded bodice,chapel train I believe, and sleeves that were pretty short (kind of like cap sleeves but a bit longer - if that makes sense.) It fit me really well and was the most flattering from the first store. We put it on hold until next weekend (the longest they would hold it as it was on sale :( )
We found another shop and I tried on two dresses in there. The first was nice but didn't fit properly and the straps on it were a bit dodgy (I don't think it originally had straps and they just had just sewn them on, they were very thin spaghetti straps. The second was very WOW. Silver and white. The bodice was all silver beading with sleeves that were close between thick beaded straps and cap sleeves. The skirt was very poofy - I think it was tulle (sp?) with silver embroidery all through it and the hem of it was silver beading in a similar pattern to the neckline. The neckline was kind of a sweetheart neckline (which was similar to the good fitting one in the other store.) I liked it, felt very glamourous, but it might have been a bit too much for me.
I'm really exhausted. Couldn't take any pictures, I brought my digital camera but the batteries in it were dead, even though I thought they were charged!! ARGH.
Going back to try on the dress from the first shop next weekend so will take pics of it then, even though I probably won't get it. I don't want to get something too soon and then change my mind completely!!

Life is a Highway...
For the past two weeks and two days I have been driving an hour each way to college. I like driving, there's no thinking involved. My little gray/silver colored 1992 Toyota Tercel just moves along, avoiding road kill and colliding with yellow school buses. Got out of class early today, feel sleepy, want coffee but too lazy to get it lol. Such is my life. Random quizzes:

What Color is Your Brain?
brought to you by Quizilla
Got this from Jennie's. I really don't think it represents me completely but I took it twice so I guess I will accept it lol.
Birthday Stuff
I realized I forgot to tell you what I received for my birthday!
Well Pete got me this very nice top from FCUK - tease cami. He got it in "raven" as on our comps it looked black, but it turned out to be a dark grey color. It's still very lovely, he has very good taste for dressing me! That being said he also got me this t-shirt from FCUK - Penalty Spot LOL. I have yet to pluck of the courage to wear it around here, as I think it's more of a English humor thing and people might think I'm a slut if I wear it here LOL. He also got me Love Actually on DVD ;) I LOVE that movie to death!!! And a lovely Me-to-You bear Fiancee card ;) (Thanks again baby!)
My parents already got me my new (used - but in great condition) lovely Powerbook G4. My dad also sneakily put $100 in my bank account and told me not to tell my mom!!! ;) I love my daddy lol.
My sister and her hubby got me some new Nike trainers/sneakers (I don't remeber the actual name so I can't link to them) and a yellow top from the GAP (which I can't find on their site.)
My uncle and his gf, who was very rude at the birthday/mother's day party, are going to get me a new battery for my computer, eventually.
I got a very nice card from my cousin Jessica, and from my friend Becca who I haven't seen in person in AGES. Also I got lovely ecards from my cuz and Gem (thanks!)
Plus money from my great Aunt and my Grandma. Which reminds me, I have to deposit her check today!
My friend Sara got me a very cool wooden wind chime and a cute glass smiley face candle holder thing, that holds a tea light and the light from the candle reflects onto the glass making the smile glow :) Thanks!
All in all a very nice birthday, and I'm happy to finally be 20!

New Template
Since blogger messed up my old one I thought I'd try a new one :) I really like it, it's simple. Not sure how much crap I will be adding to it to make more complex.
I have to work on my Graphic Design projects so I shouldn't try to add to the template now. I'll add my comments back though so everyone can say how much they like the new template ;)

Hmmmmmm
Something happened to my template :( It suddenly decided to delete like half of the contents of the right menu :(
I don't suppose there is anything I can do to fix it - maybe it'll reappear ?????
