Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!!

I have found a few things that I am thankful for;

1.) I am thankful for my screaming nephew and my peppy niece who have kept me running since 2:00 this afternoon-without them I would not be able to work off all this turkey and squash that I just ate.

2.) I am thankful for my parents, who have always been my best friends, no matter the situation.

3.) I am thankful for Isaac, who, even though I have way too many faults, has been by my side every step of the way. Without him, I would be dead by now.

4.) I am thankful for John, whose advice has helped me to overcome many situations that I thought were insurmountable.

Finally...

5.) I am thankful for my life. I am thankful that even through being sick and through all of the things that I put myself through, I have wonderful friends to help me through. I thank God every day I get to see you guys again...just so you know.

What are you thankful for?

My One Issue is....

My one issue is...

People who celebrate Christmas who do not believe in Jesus or don't follow the Christian/Catholic religion.

It is not just a gift giving occassion. To know the roots of where the gift giving came from, it came from the shepherds and the wisemen who came to visit Jesus on the day of his birth and give him what material belongings they could spare, since his family was poor, and also to celebrate his birth. This day is not Santa Claus, it is not reindeer, the true meaning is the birth of Jesus Christ...hence the name CHRISTmas. I will never understand why people who don't even follow the faith celebrate it anyway, when they are completely misconscrewing the entire idea of Christmas. It seems like a complete waste to me...the first thing that my family does on Christmas morning is eat breakfast together...and before we eat breakfast, we say our prayers. Basically, the day is not entirely about presents, although they are nice...in our family and in the families of other people who actually grasp the concept of Christmas, it is a celebration of the birth of our God's son.

Sorry for the rant, but celebrating Christmas for the materialistic point is idiotic...it is, and always has been, a Christian/Catholic holiday. If you are not one of those religions, why would you celebrate it?

In Potsdam

I'm up at Potsdam visiting Isaac...:)

I guess that just made my day kind of. I miss him when he's not around...I know that it seems stupid for two people that pretended to hate each other for awhile last year, but now it's getting kind of hard to live without each other. I guess that goes hand-in-hand with being engaged. I can't wait to marry him...I know that I'm finally making a decision that is worthwhile and something that won't haunt me for the rest of my life.

:)

Feeling a Little Sorry....

I feel sorry for Isaac...he has pretty much decided that he no longer wants to be at Clarkson. Unfortunately, his parents are not supporting his decision at all. I'm not sure why that is, since it is his life and ultimately, his future...but I suppose it's not my call...

I hope that everything turns out okay for him.

Unhappy, or just...blah?

I'm not sure if I'm actually unhappy or if I just feel "blah". I think that it really depends on how you look at it.

I am not particularly happy being engaged, I don't like school, I don't work enough to know whether or not I like it, and in general, things are just not happening for me right now. I have about 1300 dollars that I have to magically pull out of my *edited* before the end of December, and that isn't even counting Christmas presents. So thank you, Sheila of the Roosevelt Mineral Baths and Spa, for officially screwing up my financial plans by sticking your head a little further up your *edited*.

I feel "blah" because in response to this wonderful new world of financial stress, my body is shutting itself down. I feel completely and totally exhausted now, even at times when I would usually be the most awake, for example, while driving. The things that I use to like doing are actually making me bored now...it's sort of odd.

I know that every thing gets better at some point, and I guess I'm waiting for that day. I hope that it gets better soon, for the sake of my sanity.

It's Friday

...and guess what...it doesn't matter, because I'm not in school, I don't have a job, I have no money, so Friday really doesn't freakin matter now does it?

*explodes*

I NEED A LIFE.

*Update* I am currently employed at KB Toys. Do not shop there, or I will shoot you. Thank you ^.^

One Year

Isaac and I had our one year anniversary on Friday, Nov. 5th...really more than a year, since he's honestly had me since 3rd grade. We went out to the Weathervane for dinner, then came home and watched Scary Movie 3 and Godzilla. Saturday we went to the Medbury Inn and Spa and took a mineral bath...then went to Crossgates with his cousin Steven and went to Friday's for dinner afterwards. After that we watched the rest of Godzilla and basically fell asleep because there was nothing more interesting then sleeping at that point. Sunday morning my mother woke us up early so that we could have a "family breakfast", and then we went to Lake George for the day. We were going to try to find Silver Bay so that we could see the church where we are planning on being married, but he wasn't feeling all that great so we decided just to walk around aimlessly. Sunday night we ate dinner with my parents, then watched "Catch Me If You Can" which is a really good movie, minus Leonardo DiCaprio. Monday we spent a little bit of time together, and then he left...

Yes...this weekend was one of the best weekends of my entire life...So Isaac, if you're reading this, thank you for giving me one weekend where nothing else mattered.

Yay!

Thank god that Kerry did not win. I really didn't like that man...I'm not a HUGE Bush fan, but I like him a whole lot more than I like Kerry.

The rednecks DO have a chance!
