lazy and unproductive

so i am officially putting off my assigned reading with this blog. I am just not fully functional yet. This blissful cup of coffee next to me is radiantly steaming and whispering innuendos to me.
Anyways, I am dressed rather formal today, especially with the non visible long johns I am sporting. Keeping me warm.

Side note: I made the Deans list last semester and it kind of freaks me out. Not saying i am not happy cause i am, but my classes this semester are more challenging...so it makes me feel like i have to work extra hard.
I am working on my first essay and I think it could be a winner, i just need to polish it up and not f up the tense structure. I also need to do an observation journal before I get behind....damn it i wish it wasn't so cold out.

I am happy today but distant. I also feel slightly weathered in a way. It's kind of hard to explain but....sorry i heard a kid crying, it makes me distracted and reminds me of my boy.
Anyways, I should get some work done.

everything zen

I am actually on top of things this morning. really shocking actually. I also sleep really amazing last night. Clark was yipping a lot but i surprisingly sleep heavily and dreamed like crazy intense. I haven't had so much happen in a dream in forever. It was like every problem i had got solved in my dream last night.
I think that it was the yoga class i went to yesterday...because i made me so relaxed and stretched and mellow and that feeling lasted all night. I took a bath after Hayden went to bed and then went to sleep like at nine. Im glad I went to sleep early though cause i had to wake up at 6:30 this morning.
Well now that I have embellished on sleeping I am sure anyone reading this has stopped reading. Opps...maybe this will help....


haha...i love Schrute.

Anyways, I really really really want to learn how to knit. Basically every person I meet can, and it makes me even more upset that i can't yet. Insane jealously boils from me when i see them making such gorgeous scarves and such. I'm kidding, they are all so nice and hopefully when i get needles i can start too:)
Well...I have an essay to spell check
until next time,

clarkie

Lovely weekend. I went to the thrift store and scored some excellent items. One of which were a pair of 70's wooden heels. Classy. My mom bought a pug puppy this weekend. She says she only got him because I've always wanted a pug and because my son LOVES puppies. But, I know that
she has been wanting one too, so its all good. I named him Clark Kent respectively, after my star crossed lover.He is very affectionate and kind of nasally challenged but I don't care, he's a sweetheart. I can't wait to buy him a superman tee...hehe

pointless epiphany?

Ok, In all seriousness I am using this blog to put off a reading that I am just not in the mood to read. I have to read thirty pages for every class except one, which is roughly 150 pages. Funny thing is that the really long assignment is the most interesting of the bunch. I'd rather be reading that then my English, which doesn't look as appealing as the last one.

Halloween birthday cake...pretty classy






In case this isn't apparent yet, this post is totally pointless....but maybe I'll have a epiphany of enlightenment by the end, not likely but a girl can dream.

Anyways, on a venting note I am frustrated with an individual in my life. I just am done with be friends with someone that is always negative and rude and blames everyone else for their problems. I mean we are all human, and we all make mistakes. But part of being a functional person is taking ownership for somethings. I mean I took responsibility for things that I know aren't entirely my fault, if at all, because thats part of cooperation and discussion. Oh well, I am fine about the whole thing. Its just her that I'm pretty sure doesn't understand why anyone could be angry at her, because lord knows she's always right.

Wooh, that feels better. I guess I should get my reading done now.

Blog for Choice day

Doing my little part in this world with my thoughts on Choice and the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. I guess my reasons are pretty much right on track with other Pro-Choicers. Some think its strange that I would be pro choice because I have a child, but I am. I understand that it is the woman's choice when it comes to what to do with her own body. I made my choice and I would hope that every woman would have right to make her own choice, because woman aren't stupid. We are coherent and know what we are doing.

Kind of rambled and it was a little repetitive but you get the point. Anyways, everyone should be able to decide for themselves. This is my blog and my opinions. If that isn't something anyone reading this agrees with, then don't read it. I'd prefer not to get any upset comments today, because my day is going so nicely so far:)

Anyways, Happy blog for choice day.

My choice of cheeseburger with bacon:) It's from a dinner in a small town.

...reminds me of my sister in-law...long story. Anyways thats all.

Nature of Writing

My current English class is focusing on nature and landscape in relation to storytelling. It is really pretty insightful and differant than any other English I've taken. I have a couple of observational journals to do but wish it wasn't so darn cold out. A woman I work with told me about a similar journal she had for college and it was really kind of neat, so I'll share.

There was a snowbank underneath a tree in her front yard and every day she would watch it and make note of the changes in size. It would sometimes melt to almost nothing on beautiful days and then reappear after a snowy evening. Anyways it was just a really neat experience she had with her observational journal.

Anyways, I am excited I guess and nervous about this new experience in writing. I have a lot of time to grow with my writing and am using these composition classes to my full advantage.

Aside from that post I wanted to mention a fantastic book I started reading for my Woman's Studies class, it's called America's Women By Gail Collins. I am really enjoying it. It is a history of women but completely the opposite of boring. It starts with the first colonies and has a vast amount of stories about frontier women and the politics of the early colonies. Amazing so far:) I'll post about it more as I read more of it.

The beginning

Wow, where to begin. I am a young single mom, 21, if anyone cares. I am a college student majoring in English and minoring or possibly double majoring in Women's Studies. I love my son who will be two in March, he is a very bright hilarious little character. Hayden, my son, actually went on the potty for the first time last night. It's funny because I was getting his pj's and he says, "pee," so i put him on his potty just thinking he wanted to sit on it and he actually went. I was so excited congratulating him and praising him. Anyways, I am very excited about that.
That's really all I can say for now. I have philosophy class so more later
