i just have to put these videos on here too for future rainy days. mostly for myself and laughing purposes.
You must watch this clip! I went to take a snuggle nap with James and I was laughing so hard just thinking about it that I was crying!
This one is awesome too!
OK I know I have already posted today, and that it was just a little while ago. But I must post a picture of my fierce new watch that my parentals got me for my birthday!
they made me hold this bucket of peanuts on my head while they yelled at me
and i got my hair done, finally! i love it. i was on the phone with james and he told me to take some pictures of it, hence the phone in my hand:
have a wonderful weekend!!
(Dad) born October 14, 1955 and Mary McAllister (me) born October 14, 1986Well birthday week is winding down, but I have the best day to look forward to tomorrow. On Sunday I went to church, came home, ate lots of food that wasn't good for me, watched tv, and took a large nap. I also got to babysit some of my favorite little girls that night. That was Sunday. Today I had hospital clinical. I gave my first shot! I was so nervous. I know I shouldn't be nervous because I am so used to sticking needles in people (phlebotomist here). But I guess the thought of giving medications to someone that could kill them if I gave the wrong dose is intimidating. Lots of responsibility. Anyway, after school I went to Gut Busters at the gym with my buds Stephanie and Kat. It was so hard. There was a part where we all had to stop because it was so crazy hard so the instructor made us do it again. He even looked at us while addressing the class and saying, "If anyone stops this time, I will make you all do it again." Yikes, he meant business. We couldn't help but laugh at the guy. So there ya have it, day 6 and 7.
James update: James continutes to live it up in Utah. I continue to be crazy jealous here in Midland. Today he is spending the day with my family. He went to Winger's today and tonight he is having my mom's famous gumbo for dinner. Yeah, I am green with envy.
Part One. Well James left today for a week of fun in Utah. On our way to the airport I asked him where he wanted to stop for lunch. He wanted a Keva juice. So there we went.
Of course I am sad to have him gone for a whole week, but I got over it on the way home from the airport by rocking out to old-school Celine and sipping my Strawberry Squeezer Keva juice.
Part Two. As I sit here on the couch thinking of what to write about Part Two of my day, my heart is full. I never thought that I would have a great friend that wasn't my sisters or mother. Well I am so thankful to say that I have found such a wonderful friend in Christina. Today I got dressed up in my witch costume thinking I was going to her work Halloween party with her. When I went to her house to get her, there were five other witches in the family room who yelled, "Surprise!" I couldn't believe my ears or eyes! Anne Marie had even driven all the way from El Paso to be here for my birthday. I had such a fun time. I want Christina to know that I am so grateful for her friendship. She is such a sweet person and so incredibly thoughtful. Thank you so much!
garlic press restaurant. not as wonderful as everyone says it is, hence james's face. 
driving to the movie 
chicken pox scar
waiting for the movie to start (we went to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist)
and waiting and waiting and waiting
this is what we thought of the movie. stupid.
i had a wonderful day! i love my hubby.
Today started out wonderfully. I slept in. Awesome. Got up and watched TV for hours. Awesome. Finally decided to take a shower. Awesome. As I was in the shower, I smelled something burning. I frantically turned off the shower, thinking that my curling iron was burning or something. It wasn't that. I went and opened the utility closet in our bathroom and the hot water heater was smoking and about to catch on fire. I went and grabbed the fire extinguisher, ready to put out a fire. I called our apartments and told them to send someone over asap. I went and got in my car and called my mommy and cried a lot. Thankfully, my house didn't catch on fire and the problem is fixed (hopefully). Things got a lot better when Jamesey got home. We hung out and then I went to the gym. A bunch of kids from nursing school met to do some classes. We did Gut Busters and Zumba. Hard stuff, but fun.
Today was wonderful. I went to school and learned how to insert and remove nasogastric tubes and also how to give enemas! Doesn't that sound like fun? Well it was. Anyway, after class I went to get my Halloween costume. Don't worry, I will post pictures on Saturday. I also tried to find a black dress and ended up getting James a sweater, my dad his birthday present, a black dress, and some shoes. Sounds successful right? After that I came home and watched lots of television: America's Next Top Model, Biggest Loser, Project Runway... How am I able to do all this, one may ask. I don't have class tomorrow. Yeehaw, birthday week just keeps getting better.
My birthday week has officially started! What is birthday week, one may ask. Well I will tell you. In James's family they start celebrating someone's birthday a week before the actual date. This way you get to party for a whole week instead of just one day. I get to choose TV shows that we watch, what we eat, what we do for date night... pretty much everything. It is freakin' awesome and I am very glad that I married into such a crazy cool family.
To kick things off today I joined the gym. I have been wanting to do this forever so finally today, on the first day of birthday week, I did it. I am going to kick the crap out of those eliptical machines!
a car alarm has been going off for about a minute now. i hope this isn't like last time.
me getting "pumped" for check-off
