I really am so very lucky.
I'd be hard pressed to believe that I could be any happier than I am now.
This is what I've been looking for.. what I thought didn't exist anymore.
I ca't believe this is happening.
There are not enough song lyrics in the world to fit this.
I LOVE THIS.

This Christmas has been absolutely wonderful.
GREAT day on Friday at work exchanging gifts with Mr. John, Ms. Leslie, Ms. Robin, etc. etc. and making Christmas cupcakes for all my guys..
Saturday was fun in Fairhope.. even though I thought it'd be painful. haha. It was good.
Sunday.. SAINTS GAME with Anthony and his parents.. had a great time. I loved Sunday.
Monday.. I got to be with my brothers. I love them so much. We're all going to hit the town one night.. all the cousins.. it's going to be a riot. lol. And then last night I got to be with my Christmas Eve crew. I have the greatest family/friends ever.
Today.. opened gifts (yay for my David Yurman bracelet.. and other things..) And getting ready to eat in a little while..
Christmas is the greatest.
And I couldn't be happier... seriously..

I don't even know how to put it into words.
I think it's finally happening.
I'm still hesitant to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think... I THINK.. it may finally be happening.
Well I will keep calling you to see:
If you're sleeping, are you're dreaming?
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe...you actually picked...me
This is one of the good ones.
That moment, it was perfect.
Sometimes, it's the simple things in life. And THAT is one of those things.
I can't even begin to say how happy I am.
This is slightly more perfect than I had ever thought it'd be.
People are just going to have to be ok with this. It's not that crazy.
How life changes and surprises you. I never EVER would've seen this coming a year ago today.
This.. this is how it's supposed to be. And it's so funny because I had given up on this a while ago. I thought THIS, didn't even exist anymore. But, somehow, beyond any reason, it does exist.
I love it.
On a random note.. I'm going to teach myself how to play the guitar... go me.
:-D
LIFE IS SO GOOD.

I'M GOING TO THE SAINTS GAME TODAY!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, that's right, I'm going to Game 7; Saints vs. Rams in the DOME today! I'm so freakin excited. This is my first Saints game ever and what a game to go to! I can't wait. AND to make it only 1974498 times better... I'm going to be in a SUITE! Oh yeah. :-D
One of our suppliers at work has a suite and a few weeks ago came by with 6 tickets and gave to Ms. Robin.. so it's me, Ms. Dawn, Ms. Robin, Ms. Beverly, Ms. Sandy and Ms. Leslie going.. me and all my friends from work (Some of them are younger, but I'm in the habit of calling them "Ms." because I first met them when I was little and that's how my dad introduced me to them..) And then some people from Broadmoor are going too.. Ms. Fran, and I'm not sure who else... So yeah, we're going to be in a suite, with catered food, drinks, couches, etc. etc. I can't wait.
I need to start getting ready because we're meeting at the office at 10 and walking to the dome.. but I'm riding with Ms. Dawn who lives about 15 minutes from my house so I have to drive out there first... Mr. Bill (the guy who gave us the tickets) said they open the suites at 10 am and make breakfast and whatnot first.. so this is so cool...
So, if you're around a TV, flip on the game (but really, you should've been watching it anyways..) and think of me! :-D
LIFE IS GOOD....

Oh lord... what is going on?
(this is a complete random stream of consciousness, so here goes...)
I never ever expected that... ever. Not now.
I keep replaying it in my head trying to find rationale somewhere in there... I'm still looking for it.
Was it wrong that I was completely puzzled?
I was wracking my brain to find an answer. I didn't work.
It was nice.
I want this to be simple.
But there was always 3.
And I can't count my chickens before they hatch.
But I can't miss an opportunity that's presented itself to me... so greatly, at that.
What if it's all different now?
Or worse, what if it just stays the same?
Is that really worse?
I've made an uh-oh.
The last name said it all.
What am I DOING?!
Is this right? It kind of feels that it is.
HELPPPP... SOMEONE.
People are going to watch. And comment... and critique... and am I really ready for that?
God help me.
I'm not ready for this.
Do I even WANT this? REALLY?
I'm drawing a blank and I feel like that's not the right response to this.
This is going to suck.
I'm anxious... I'm excited... I'm terrified out of my mind.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't know what I'm going to do.
How do I get myself in these messes?
What if it was just because of THAT?!
Will I be relieved?
Is it wrong that part of me hopes it was?
This is SO messed up.
I'm growing dark and twisty.
This is INSANE
I have issues.
I've never done this before... I don't know how to.
This anxiety... is so just me.
I need a break.
Somewhere.
MAKE IT ALL STOP
I'm going to go scream now..

As you can see, I've totally fallen off the "updating-lj bandwagon"... I do still read though..
Not so much going on...
This last month has been kind of bizarre...
I don't know why I'm even updating as I have nothing to say.
I got a new car.
Bright blue Nissan Versa (hatchback because it's so darn cute and convenient).. yep that's me. LOVE it.
I've done it again... I'm completely enamoured. It's so hard not to be. And I've tried not to be, but I keep coming back... must mean something, right?
It made my day so much better.
My guys missed me while I was out of town.. they love me. ;-)
yay for new great friends..
Random contacts being made by friends from the past...
Oy.
I'm out.. I have nothing to say.
Ciao.

It looks like maybe our dream really is ending here.. which is a shame, because I think we could've done it.. we could've made it. But it just wasn't in God's plan I guess. He granted us the right elements to help us get this far, and I guess that's all we can ask for and be thankful that we did so well thus far. Be proud of our guys for doing so well and hope that next season we can do it better.. No one wants to believe that the dream is over. But sometimes I guess it is. There's nothing no one could've done about it. No one except God. The guys did all they were supposed to.. the fans did all that we were supposed to... all that's left is Destiny. And maybe, it wasn't time. And there really is always next year.
Personally, yes, I'm sad.. I wanted to see our guys go all the way. But that doesn't keep me from being any less proud of them than I am. I still believe that Sean Payton is an amazing coach and has done amazing things with this team.. I believe Drew Brees is an awesome quarterback and an amazing person. And I will say that this season will end with me, actually being a saints fan.. and for once, I'm not pulling for any other team. Not the Patriots, not the Colts (the two I usually find myself pulling for).
And you know what, I still might buy that Brees jersey. Even if we don't win today. And I'll wear the jersey even when its not football season.. just to show that I am proud of him and that team.
At least I can stop being nervous about today. I woke up nervous. Now I jsut have the rest of the week to worry about....
I'm tired of always worrying.
I just want to go back to two friday's ago. Before school had started, before today, a day when life was amazing.
My heart kind of hurts :(
I love my Saints... and I love New Orleans.
EDIT: This is my favorite layout to date... ;-)

*Sigh*.. today was bizarre...
started off fine.. had to go do some errands and whatnot.. pick up some stuff for a surprise I'm working on for someone *wink* and so I was hanging around and watching Laguna Beach reruns (yes, I bought all of season 2 on DVD.. haha.. I'm such a loser) But I don't know.. I was watching them and it made me think of all my highschool friends and I started to get real sad and whatnot missing my friends, missing certain people. So then I left to hang out with a few friends.. one of whom grabbed my phone and called like 20 people in my address book.. sorry, if you were one of them.. and I got aggravated with them because they were being stupid, so I left. Then came home and just kind of hung around. I've not been feeling really well lately, so I don't know. But now I'm going to go watch some Law and Order SVU..nothing like a good murder case to cheer me up lol.
Thinking of Cara and Darin on their wedding day.. :-) Wish i could've been there.
I'm out

Well well well Taylor is the new American Idol!! ;-) Better than Katharine being the AI. Ew. Thoughts on tonight:
- Chris is so amazing... he's MY American Idol. And for the record, it should've been HIM up there NOT Katharine.
- Chicken Little's back!! haha
- Katharine's "my Destiny" song is retarded.. thank god no one has to hear that on the radio, who the hell would PLAY that song on the radio???
- Taylor's "Do I Make you Proud" is still cornball but better... I'd rather hear that on the radio
- Thank God Chris didn't have to sing some ridiculous song like those 2... ew.
- Who thought it was wrong that the mic for Live was louder than Chris's??? I DO
Anyways, I've got some errands to run tomorrow...gonna go for a run in the morning... then run my errands, and then hang around until I find out if Maria and I are doing something... I don't know.. we'll see.. we might have to hang out on Friday night. Whatever. I'm out

Well, half to my dismay.. I was forced to listen to the first half of AI tonight as my parents wanted to watch it and put it on while we were eating dinner. I did hear Katharine's little bad-attitude pissy fit she threw when the judges told her that her first song sucked. I cannot BELIEVE she went there to, first make a face when Paula was searching for her words, roll her eyes while Randy told her "she wasn't the type of artist yet that could properly sing that song" and then had the nerve to say like a spoiled little brat who doesn't get her way, "you all have been really hard on me the past couple of weeks"...THEN has the nerve to blame it on Clive Davis because he picked it and whine "I DIDN'T PICK IT!!!" how disrespectful can you be?? I can't believe she's still there.
I did however see something fishy... 1.) Paula was getting ready to tell ehr that she sucked, however, when someone else said "she's great".. she changed her mind and agreed. THEN, Simon, who normally cuts down people who give half-hearted performances like she did, pimps her out and says "That was a "moment" for you"... Do i see a little bit more evidence that the producers have more of a say-so in this show than the voters??? I think so. It is encouraging though to see that not only Chris fans think this... several newspaper articles I've read have now mentioned the possibility of a fixing..
Plus the endless pimping of katharine that has been going on in recent interviews. Randy and Simon have said that "Katharine could win this thing"... if she does, my suspicions will be confirmed, because I do not think she deserves to win much less even still be there.
Anyways.. I'm out of american idol now. I'm upstairs.. I might MIGHT is the operative word, trickle downstairs when Taylor sings..but that's it. I don't even know if I feel like doing that. I've just literally lost all interest in the show. I mean, even ryan's jokes don't amuse me as much as they did. I don't know... something weird happened last week. *shrugs*
Tomorrow is work. I decided I'm not goign to go to work on Thursday. I have to run to the shop to pick up my necklace which is coming in and then I have to get ready for graduation. I had lunch today at Chilis with Laurel, Katie and Julia which was SO much fun. They loved their presents and we had a great time hanging out and laughing. I had chicken enchilada soup... YUMMMMMM. :-D
Well, my drier is buzzing.. signaling me to go get my clothes out of it. I'm trying to shrink a pair of bermuda shorts I have. I bought them last year and they fall off of me. I never wore them before.. all the tags were still on them. I'm also trying to shrink a pair of jeans that I bought on clearance for 10 dollars.. they are too big but I couldn't pass it up when it was only 10 dollars when all it needs a few runs in the drier and a button moved.
I'm out for now...

Ok.. obviously we all know what this is about.. and if you don't care to hear me rant then just skip over this entry.
I seriously, I think I might be done with American Idol for good. Not just this season but for good. I'll get my Tuesday and Wednesday nights back... I can catch up on Top Model now... I always defended the show and saying how it really was a good thing for people who want to sing because it's a way that let's the american people decide.. etc. etc. Now, I've lost complete faith in the show, and its legitimacy.
I'm not just pissed because my favorite got voted off.. I'm pissed because of how it all went down. Chris was not just MY favorite.. he was everyone's favorite. Simon even called him to win the thing. And I don't understand how last night, of the hundreds of times I called in and ... a good 75% of the time was busy, he could go home. I would've had a bit of a feeling had I been getting through everytime I called in, I would've realized "uhoh, people aren't voting".. but no... it was busy, like it always is.
The sad thing is that, now I believe all the nay-sayers.. I am beginning to think Idol is rigged and it's fake. Because Katharine TANKED last night.. she FORGOT the words to her song. SHE FORGOT THE WORDS. And she BUTCHERED her second song. And yet, she's still here. But, because Idol keeps pushing her to be in the final, they're keeping her around. All the pieces that would support the idea of a rigging, are finally starting to come together for me. They really want a Taylor/Katharine finale... and that's sad that they have to take someone who truly deserved to win, and kick them off. He was consistent every freakin week, even his "bad" weeks, weren't as bad as the others. And if you read the forums, look at the stats, he really is the favorite. The only other one who has a fanbase that could rival Chris's is Taylor. Elliot and katharine's fanbase are there.. just not as large. It just makes no sense to me at all. I mean do you realize that what just happened is almost near IMPOSSIBLE? I mean, sure it is possible if no one voted for Chris, but judging by the constant busy signal that blasted in my ear, apparently people were voting. And I checked the katharine forums just for the hell of it. Last night during the voting times, her fans were frantic begging people to vote for her because "there are no busy signals, I"m getting through everytime, this isn't good".. which is true.. if there are no busy signals it means, exactly what it insinuates.. not enough people are calling to make the lines busy. Therefore, does anyone see the logic in this? if you do, please enlighten me because, I sure as hell don't.
I am DONE with Idol for this season... not watching anymore. I'll be "happy" if Taylor wins because I do think it is time for a guy to win, but I'm not watching next week.. I'm not watching the week after that.. I might watch the finale if Chris is there... And as for me watching it next season.. I don't know. As of right now, I'm giong to say no... but maybe time will change my mind. I do know that even if I watch it, I will no longer vote because I seriously don't think my votes count if Idol doesn't want them to. I feel like me voting, is just me wasting time because they don't matter.
He didn't deserve this... I hope he is like Clay and proves everyone wrong. Maybe it'll become a trend, all the ones that don't win.. really make it big...
How's that for legit, AI?
Edit: This has been the night from hell, just wanted to make that clear....

Welcome Home you.. I know you by name...
Today was weird. At work there had to be like 503284620 papers on my desk when I got there... I got rid of some... I have to go scan and index alot more on Wednesday but I also need to work on spreadsheets too.. AHHHHH too much to do. Some of this crap is from like last year that was never scanned nor indexed... grrr.. if they didn't need it this long, they must never need it. lol. So they should shred it all.. lol.
Came home, the pearl bracelets I ordered for my friends graduating this year are pretty!! I gotta wrap them up and make plans to see them so I can give them their gifts. :-D
I was talking with Cara about this earlier.. It's like my playlist is stuck on the same songs... 4 songs from welcome home, Over my head by The Fray, Pretty Vegas by INXS (old, I know but I'm stuck on it for some reason), and Idiot by Lisa Marie Presley. :-D lol. I'm so random
But that's how it's gotta be, it's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I need to get a good night's sleep tonight.. I also intend to go running tomorrow morning. I don't know what else we're doing tomorrow... whatever.
This weekend I have to cook for mom for mother's day... they're still deciding on the menu I think... I don't know, they just pick stuff out and tell me what to cook. lol. Makes no difference to me.
I'm in a random moodd.. and I'm not saying anything of any significance, so i guess i should just shut up.
I'm out.

Just got back from running like 50 errands...and I jammed out to Welcome Home all the way. Cara, I did like you did and played the same song over and over. I did it with I'm Alive and Over My Head. I finally was like, "Well I guess I gotta move on.." lol. Anyways, I went to the bank... I had paychecks piling up in my room because i hadn't been to the bank in like 4 weeks... and then I went to 2 stores to buy stuff for mom for mother's day. And then I went to cingular and got my holster. No more buying a razr phone.. I looked at it.. the flip top looks like if you open it too much it'll pop right off.. no thank you. Not paying 200 for a phone that looks that funny. lol. I'll wait until the next model comes out.
*sigh* I did see a necklace I want. It's like a big flat bead sort of thing that you can have engraved with your initials. I have a bracelet that looks like that and so it'd be cool to get the matching necklace. It's not that much so I was thinking I might get one for Candace... not sure yet.
I'm tired. I didn't go to bed till late and then for some unknown reason, I woke up at some ungodly hour (8:30).. and couldn't fall back asleep. >:O
I want to go read. Now that I'm finally free from school I have time to read the 50583 books I bought while I was in school. I have...1 James Patterson, 1 horror/mystery book, 1 carol goodman, my Disney book, and the one I'm reading now. The one I'm reading now is moving slow, hence why I can't get into it.. but with the James Patterson, I'm sure I'll fly through that one.
So I'm getting frustrated with the jeans shopping... I don't like the jeans at: Hollister, Abercrombie, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Old Navy, Gap, I don't like Levi's, I have one pair of Calvin Klein jeans but I can't find anymore like it... I don't like any of their other styles.. lol. I'm sure there are more. I'm seriously considering just waiting until I go to ATL and looking at Nordstroms. At this point I really don't care if I have to pay 160 for a pair of jeans.. if they FIT.. I DON'T CARE. lol. I want to go look at Frock Candy and see if they have any jeans but I don't want a whole bunch of pairs with the embroidery and beads and stuff on it. I mean it's cool to have a few but I want just some plain ole' jeans. >:O And I found a pair of jeans that fit perfect in the legs and all.. not even that ridiculously long on me. However, at my waist.. it poked out in the back. I swear it was so big, there had to be like 9 inches worth of material at the waistline that was just not needed. *Hmpf*
Well, I'm off to read. Hasta la byebye

I haven't been able to do this in such a long time!! The last time I did this was Never Gone... Only thing is.. I gotta cut this short...
so let's do a condensed version
Favorites: Over my Head - I totally love this song. It's amazing. Probably my favorite on the album.. no wait, maybe not... I don't know.. I love it so much.. I can't pick ONE favorite.. best part of the song: last line.. LOVE it, it gets to me..
- Angels and Heroes - points to my header... love the lyrics for this one. The one on my header is my favorite line. I love this song.
- Gone Without Goodbye - has to be like the saddest song in the world. This one and "Who you'd be today" by Kenny Chesney can battle it out for being the saddest song ever. lol. I love it, even though it makes me cry. haha.
- Welcome Home - From the first time I heard the clip of it.. I loved it. It's awesome. I love that it's getting radio-play! :-D :-D Just so great.
- I'm Alive - I love that he rocks out on this one.. haha. Such a great song. I've had this stuck in my head for a long time.. like between this and Have you really ever loved a woman ever since Chris sang it... lol..
I LOVE this CD..so great.. and it doesn't slam you over the head with the Christian part.. it's the right balance between religious undertones/messages and music.. good stuff.
I'm out for now!

Alright so I'M DONE for the semester!!! off until August 30th! i'm so happy. I took my final exam today.. and it was pretty.. alright. ;-) I had to bs some stuff but over all it was good. I got my final grade back for Latin and it's....an A! yay! I knew that already though lol. So, first semester at Tulane: complete. It was pretty good.. made alot of new friends... did well in all my classes.. had good teachers..can't complain!
So now I'll be working more often to make $$. They bought me a new awesome computer at work.. I feel so special. It's a regular computer not a laptop. yay! :-D :-D :-D :-D I have so much crap to do it's not even funny.. lol. Today was the day from excel-hell. lol. No matter what I did, I couldn't get my spreadsheets to balance back to the right amount.. so finally we figured out it was because I had one invoice too many in my stack for the month... so it was coming out 2,000 dollars over.. but it took us forever to figure that out and fix it.
Tomorrow is my day off. I'm going to start it by waking up and going for a run.. then I'm going shopping!!! :-D So I guess I need to get to bed so I can have enough energy to do all that. ;-)
Oh and American Idol... gotta love the cheeseball-Idol song they all sang together. lol. And yay.. my Chris is safe. I'm so happy.. I guess my 120 votes for him last night really did help! :-D Got one girl gone, gotta get rid of one more for my all-guy top 3... I'm so praying for that.. the good thing is: guys can typically do elvis songs better than girls.. :-D *crosses fingers*

Gotta make this quick because I have some more studying to do..but
1.) Elliot: I thought his version of "On Broadway" was pretty good... not my favorite song but he did fine. As for "Home".. I LOVE that song.. I agree with Simon, not sure if the lyrics are the best to sing on that show, but you know, he did it really well.
2.) Paris: I love the song Kiss.. but she did it just "ok"... as for the second song, I hate that song... she can go home
3.) HOLY CRAP I Love both of his songs. I love Renegade.. he was amazing...I loved it.. I love that he started out with the slower/no background music part and then slammed into it. Awesome. As for the Shinedown song, I love that song. I've been listening to it religiously lately.. and bam he sings it.. kinda creepy. And he did it awesome. I can't BELIEVE he was able to hit those high notes that well.. I know the judges said he faltered, I only heard one tiny little falter toward the end.. he's amazing.
4.) Katharine.. I'm so tired of her. First she kinda messed up Against all Odds, it was way too low.. then what the hell was her deal about being on the floor and kneeling and like shuffling around her knees?? Hello?? Byebye katharine... at least you're not far from home
5.) Taylor.. I love that he did Play that Funky Music.. he was awesome.. and I loved the shirt. As for the second, it was really good.. I think it's wrong though that they let him use songs from the top 10 CATALOG charts... but.. he did awesome..
I love Chris

I don't know why, but now I'm deciding to freak out about my finals. I have my Latin one tomorrow which is the one I'm least worried about, but I'm going to spend all day tomorrow studying. I don't have it until 3 in the evening. The one I'm really flipping out about is my Art History one just because there are so many dates I need to remember, and I know I can do it.. I'm just... being stupid.
I can't even begin to think about finishing my paper (almost there...1 and a half pages to go...) or my econ exam. All that is on wednesday of next week... that's forever away. lol.
I just need to survive this week and I'm free for 4 months. Thank god.
I'm out.. more art history.. and I'm so damn tired it's unbelievable
Hey, check out the current music... I'm so cool...
