here

so far so good. if you didn't get the email, i'm sorry, but we're here. hope everything is good there in the states. i am going to have to get used to not drinking water whenever I feel like it. blah blah blah. this is going to be so fun!!! We are hearing all about Gutstav and the election over here. Charmaine thinks that gas is going to be $7 when we get back. hope not. I am counting on my brother Paul to singlehandedly solve the energy crisis just for me :) I'm glad Charmaine is here. I have someone to be dorky and stupid with. Kevin is always ready to go. I feel bad cause he is waiting on 2 girls who don't get it yet, but we will. The money is a little confusing, but with my math mind, i will figure it out soon. 10,000 just seems like so much, but its only like $20. I doubt that I will send any blogs in spanish. Charmaine and I are still working with Rosetta Stone, thank God they didn't take my computer. I would have been really trippin, then!!! I haven't taken any pictures yet. Now, I feel like my sister, Mary with all the random sentences put together. This is not a typical English class paragraph. love you guys!!!!!

bye

Bye from the U.S. I am scared out of my mind right now, and about to leave everything that I love, but I will make the best out of this situation. I can either make it bad or good, but the obvious solution would be to make it good. :) Thanks to all my friends and family who love me. I love you guys too. I'm off to get drunk now, so I can stop thinking about this shit. It is tearing me up. No tanya, paul, mom and dad are just a email away, but not on the phone. I guess I'm a big girl now and I can do it, but this is scary and I am scared. Did I mention I'm scared. Please pray hard for me these next few weeks.

unreliablity

I am going to use this to vent today. Yesterday, I had a wonderful time with my girls Maeghan and Tyra. We went out to eat, acted crazy and had a wonderful time. I was supposed to either fly to michigan to see my boy's show and my family or go to the Falcons game. I ended up doing neither. I spent my time with Paul, which actually was better than either except seeing my family. How is it, though that my ticket to the game got sold cause I was too late, and Carlos was too busy to finalize anything. Now, i'm locked out of the house until Tanya wakes up, though. Oh well. I spent time with the girls and Paul, and they are really important to me - more so than the falcons or shawty lo. i guess that is what really matters anyways.

hi family !

I hope that everyone is having a good day today. Today is my grandma's birthday. She would have been old. I miss her, but I'm glad that she is in a better place now. Hi Grandma!!!!!!

to my avid readers

this is jose. i promised a picture of him, and so here he is. its worth a look :)

boredom

i have come to realize, that boredom is the root of all evil. :) What is it that makes us just HAVE to do something? I am going to practice sit still and suffer I guess. Maybe I will learn something by doing nothing. Who knows. And anne, that was funny about my glasses. i don't exactly know where they are as of right now :)

series of strange coincidences II

glasses No. dos.............. I was driving down the road. This woman was standing next to her car looking like she wanted to pull her hair out. She was young. I don't usually stop cause I'm scared I'll get raped or murdered, but she looked especially forlorn. Anyways, I ended up stopping to see what was wrong. She had 2 four year old twins in the backseat that spoke perfect English. She spoke perfect French. Now, I've had a few years of French in school, but not really enough to communicate I found out. I understood very few of what she actually said. ANyways, she was out of gas. I figured this out after she called her friend on my phone - yes, her cell phone was dead too :) I finally got the car to start, and then it died again. We pushed it in 90 degree weather to the corner where the car coasted down the hill to the QT gas station. We bullied an old woman and some guy out of their gas spot while we put gas in the car. Needless to say in the process, I lost my glasses. WTF. I knew God wouldn't let me help someone and then take away my glasses. About 30 minutes later, I went back to look. Sure enough, they were on the ground underneath the trees. God is so good to me :)

crazy?

there may be a method to my madness :) I may just be crazy! We'll see, but either way, at least I will know so I can fix my f'd up emotions. If you want to know what my counselor thinks, check this out, otherwise, I am abusing the substance commonly known as booze. Love all my avid readers!!! All 2 of you :) Oh, 3 including Anne, oh, 4 including joe, anne, mary and mom. JULIE, you are my next victim :)

I can't wait for football season!!!!!

GO BLUE

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT I WILL NOT MISS THE

MICHIGAN OSU GAME!!!!! MY FLIGHT GETS IN NOV. 18th,

AND THE GAME IS THE 22nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DID I SAY GO BLUE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

my glasses

Somehow, my glasses do not want to stay in my possession. They keep disappearing and then reappearing. Right now, they are on my face. ANyways, I got these cool glasses, then Tangie moved. I couldn't find them anywhere! I looked and looked and looked. Finally, Tamara found them where I had already looked 6 times - my glasses case. Sure enough they were there. My theory is that Tangie took them on accident then returned them. They do look like her glasses. 2nd thing, I was pushing this car down the street, and next thing you know, my glasses are gone again. I figured that they just fell out on the side of the road and got smashed by a car, but something made me go back and look. Sure enough, 30 minutes later, I found them in the grass underneath a tree. God is good, but he is strange :)

series of strange coincidences

this one sucks. the other two are better. mom, i don't feel like capitalizing any letters today. well, last week, i texted paul that bernie mac died cause someone told me. well, he was just in the hospital. today in my class, someone said he was dead and I didn't think it was true cause someone had just got me on that last week. I looked it up, and he really did die. that sucks.
