I am starting to really hate relationships...what am I saying....I have always hated relationships. It is just so frustrating all the time.

I wear my heart on my tree


So I did a funny thing the other day.


I was painting a poster for school and I bought all these paints and things. I mostly used the black and silver markers and so I had the poster paints left over. My trees were cut the other day and one branch was facing the front. I decided to paint a red heart on it... only the paint looked like hot pink. It turned out even better. It surprised me and lasted through the rain storm last night. It looks really cool and I'm going to try to put a pic up of it.

Jewelry Armoire

I realized that the only way to be happy, is to make yourself happy. If that means living alone, buying the things you want (without feeling guilty), and eating whatever you like instead of whats "good for you" then so be it.

Letters are a lost novelty. Really. I mean, think about it. You get to say what your thinking, write it down on paper, and send it away knowing it will get to the person you want in a few days. Now, normally this is where people would advocate how email is faster, more reliable, and cheaper. There is just something about writing a letter and sending it off that gives me a feel of accomplishment. Maybe that's why I love sending and receiving Christmas cards. It means someone actually took the time and effort to say how much they miss you, or wish you the kind greetings.

I went out over the weekend. My test was Sat. and omg was it difficult. The book I studied had almost nothing to do with the test, so I'm almost sure I failed. So, I decided to go out that evening and "unwind". I went to Dubai, a new place that recently just opened. It was fun and I enjoyed my company. I saw a lot of people from Edinburg there.

Last night I went out to celebrate my aunts birthday along with my mom and my other aunts. It was a nice event. We went to Olive Garden where I shared a meal with my mom. The birthday girl made a funny comment about Zoloft that, for some reason, I considered hilarious.

I've noticed that people are split into two groups. People who only talk about themselves and their families, and people who listen. It seems the people who talk, talk a lot, never letting the listeners have a chance to discuss and speak. But it should be noted that it is only the listeners fault for letting this happen to them. Generally, listeners can date both types of people but talkers can't date other talkers.

I bought a jewelry armoire. It is beautiful. It has so many hooks for earrings. I think I buy more earrings than anything else, so this was the best feature for me. I want to have a garage sell and sell items such as unwanted jewelry, the boxes that I am no longer going to use, and clothes that I don't wear anymore. I feel bad because the boxes were gifts from my 15th birthday party, but they seriously take up too much room and have got to go.

Next month I want to buy a camera. I really need one for next year.

Speaking of next year....
I found out that I am going to be the drill team director for Juarez-Lincoln High School. I officially changed the name to Silver Stars. I really didn't like the name Starlettes. It sounds too skank. I'm glad my principal agreed.

I found out that I have a lot more in common than I thought with my fellow teachers and administrators. We have shared a lot of the same experiences and feel the same way about certain people. I'm glad I'm not alone with my feelings and emotions. I was thinking... if you considered a person, and got all the people that hated this person in one room together... how big would the room have to be? How big would your room be? I was thinking that this certain individual would need a gym sized room to fit all the people that hated him/her. Isn't that sad? I almost feel sorry for this person.....almost....next topic!

In the summer my next purchase is going to be a bar set. I found the one I want. I just need to pay off the amoire and then I can make the next purchase. I love having good credit. I can thank my father for that.

Speaking of thanks...holidays are coming up. Mothers day, Fathers Day. Secretaries day was this past Wednesday. I made them all a little gift. I have learned to keep my Secretaries happy. I already bought my Mom a gift. I know she will like it. I kind of want one myself. I don't know what I'm going to get my Dad yet, but I still have time.

Relief

It has been a wild ride this semester and it is not even over. Spring break came and went, too fast in my opinion. I finished reading Lucky under a tree. It was an amazing book. I also read 3 out of the four books I bought at Half Price Books. I put the fourth one on hold because I am now studying to take the P.E. exam on April 19th. I kind of mapped out sections by days but its hard to self teach. I had originally planned on making this certificate a back up plan, but I am pleased to record that my plans have changed and I have a home for next year. I was looking at the calendar and there are only nine more weeks of school. Oddly enough, our last "six weeks" has about "eight weeks" in it. We don't get out of school till June 6. We started late so I guess it evens out.

Drill team tryouts are this week. I am really excited to see who makes it. This year the school is splitting up into 3 schools: La Joya High School, Palmview High School, and Juarez-Lincoln High School. The drill teams will be called the Jewelettes, the Rubies, and the Starlettes. Two high schools will be 5-A and one will be4-A.

It seems like Spring is the time for old friends to want to catch up.

There are a lot of things in my life that bother me. I try to keep my self positive, but sometimes my mind makes them more than they really are.

Tax season is here. I hope I get a good return. I still don't know how it works but I have a good job, I'm single, and I own a home....aside from children, I don't know what else factors into the whole tax equation.

I haven't been working out. I feel really guilty about that, but for some reason I haven't been motivated or even up to going. I have been really tired lately.

I found out yesterday that I only have 2 and a half more days of school that I can miss. I have it all planned out. On the 28 of this month I have a very important doctors appointment. It was scheduled for the morning but I called and had it changed to 2 pm. There is my half day. My sister is graduating in May, and we are going up as a family to witness her walk. There are my other 2 days. So from now until school ends I can't get sick.

I have been really into organizing lately. I have these binders at work, and all I want to do is make sure everything is in order and in its place. I have also labeled every supply I own with my name on it. I recently got into a fight with my co-worker over glue. GLUE! Of all things to fight about, really. Anyways, it lead to us not speaking for a while, and the tension is really high. Why are girls so catty?

My 4th period class won a contest recently called Pennies for Patients. They have their pizza party on Friday. Even I am looking forward to that. We are benchmarking TAKS Math on Friday also.

My parents went to Vegas this past weekend for a wedding. They said they had a great time. I wish I could have joined them. I love Las Vegas.

Jasper has gotten so much bigger. As I am writing this blog he wants to walk on my chest but he literally takes my breath away. He is such a sweet cat. My mom calls them my "lions".
