Hey everyone, I’m sorry about the huge lack of posting, I’ve maybe bit off a tiny bit more than I can chew. For the next 6 weeks I’m only going to dedicate myself to one post a week. Between work, school, pledging, and commuting back and forth at unholy hours of both day and night, not to mention dance stuff, I’m lucky I find time to eat and shower. I love you all I can’t wait to catch you all up on what’s been going on.
Love always ~Pea

I love my family and my friends; I love my snuggie and the love bug my mamma and papa got me for today.

Lastly I love my sisters, and feel that this, even though I’m date-less, is the best Valentine’s Day yet. I’m blessed to know the people I do and need to do a post soon to let ya know a little bit about them. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow. FYI- TKE social on Thursday…I’m going as a Daisy!

Here Comes The Sun
Posted: February 11, 2011 Filed under: Friends, Life | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentConsidering the way my Wednesday and Thursday night and how much Greek has been in my life you’d think I’d me a master at building roads (hahaha geek joke). Wednesday evening started with bingo with the 4 sororities on campus. It was entertaining, and I got to see just how competitive bingo can be if you let it. Finished up with that, thank you to all the people who cleaned up their tables without having to be asked, and headed to my mom’s dorm room to get ready for the TKE smoker. Warning to all who are looking at the Greek system a smoker is epic and really very fun. Go prepared with plenty of rest and a big smile!
The TKE thing didn’t get started till 8:30 almost 9pm, which was fine but because they are such a large group their slide show is rather long and has way more stories behind it than anyone of them can even touch on. All of that wrapped up around 10 and we were invited to College Lunch at which the phrase “Eat, Drink, be Merry” was executed flawlessly by all who attended. I went saying I’ll stay for maybe an hour I’m tired and have work in the morning. Once the band started and the fun began that one hour turned into over an hour and forty minutes. What I learned from that night was that TKE are them good ol’ boys that my mamma warned me about. I know I’m not pledging their sister group, but I’m happy to have met then and am excited to get to know them better.
Woke up went to work Thursday morning was very tired, but happy to have gotten over 5 hours of sleep. Got done with work and headed home to get ready for the crush party, which was wild in it’s own way. Despite the crap my guest did, and all the rushing around and worry, I had a very fun time, and feel blessed to know that my family just got 16 people bigger. I love you girls! I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.

If Only I’d Never Said Goodbye….
Posted: February 9, 2011 Filed under: Friends, Life | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentI know I just recently did a post on love, family and all of the things that I feel matter in this big ol’ world of ours. After not posting for so long it’s hard to find footing and know what to say. As much as I do it’s odd that I run out of interesting things to talk about. So for today the plinky.com prompt is “Describe the one who got away”. This is fitting for me because I’ve never actually thought about it, or felt that I’ve let anything go unfinished in some way. I may miss times of my life, but I always know that I’ve completed them and that I learned something from it all. While reading the prompt I was shocked when one much loved name popped right into my head. Heck I got to “the one that” and I knew who I was going to talk about, funny how life baps you in the head when you least expect it.
For me the one who got away would have to me Rich L., who was the guy I dated and my first love the summer after my senior year of high school. He might, maybe, read my blog; we are still friends and run into each other from time to time. He was a wonderful boy in 07’ and is a wonderful man now in 11’. You may be wondering “How did he get away if your still friends?” Well y’all once their married they are kind of off limits and I’m very clear on that one. He was the first guy who ever took me on a road trip, small as was. We went to see “the Simpsons” in a drive in movie theater (how romantic), and on the best date of my life played put-put golf AND go carts all in the same afternoon. There were several nights of curling up and studying for his ASFAB. God knows that for every drop of fun we got in just as much trouble with our parents. You know that saying “The only guy worth crying for is the one who never makes you cry.” He’s never once made me cry.
I was very lucky to have him in my life then and now. With it being only 5 days till Valentine’s Day I sit in my same old seat in the computer lab, sipping at a white chocolate and raspberry late’ (It’s very yummy fyi) thinking of tomorrows crush party and how I bribed my date with a haircut. Both of our lives me and Rich have changed so much in so little time. He’s married and has been home from overseas now for over 8 months, I’m in Fmnt making a fool of myself one day at a time. I don’t know if he even thinks about me anymore, but there’s no smile quite as bitter-sweet as the smile I wear while thinking of the one who got away. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.

What The?
Posted: February 7, 2011 Filed under: Life | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentI understand very little in the big ol’ world of mine. How to stay motivated and organized is sometimes one of those things (sorry about not posting). Today while in the parking garage elevator I did find one thing that I cannot stand. Some jack a$$ was smoking while in the car, that’s what I like to call seven floors of Denise torture. I’ve never been able to understand the ignorance of some people and this just took the cake for me today. I’ve got kind of a random jumble of things I want to talk about so the best thing I can think to do is just list right off and go from there. Yey yet another long list of stuff, you’d think by now I’d have found a better way to be random.
- (2/6) I’m sad that the Steelers lost, but I’m happy the packers got to win another bowl ring its bout darn time. Despite the condition my mother is in. I ❤ you mommy!
- (2/4) Friday was bid day and informal pinning. Got a bid from DXO and that’s the one I was really wanting. All I have to say here is I’ve always been an only child wanting and older brother or sister. Now I’m on the track of having 20…I’m really very happy and excited. Also had my first math test of which I kicked major bum. YEYEYEYEY!~!~!~!~!
- (2/7) I’ve got dance today, I’m excited we are going over the tango tonight and that’s always a fun thing to go over. It’s like the rumba, you feel like you’re stuck in a middle school dance time warp.
What to look forward to. I’ve got the crush party on Thursday, of which I had a hell of a time finding a date; bribery should never be a tool you have to use. I’ve got my first English test next week and it’s all written out, so thrilled for that. Also need to re-read John Milton’s Paradise Lost, read it in iambic pentameter, no wonder it made no sense to me. Happy to know what company I’m doing my large management project on, that’s half the battle with that class. Lastly my formal pinning is in a week and I’ve got no idea what to wear. This week’s going to be fun I can already feel it. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.
xoxo, Pea
“Toto We’re Not In Fairmont Anymore”
Posted: February 2, 2011 Filed under: Life | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentSo just to catch you all up I’m going to do and uber fast list, and also since I don’t have a clue what to write I’m going to use the post a day prompt from Plinky.com and discuss “If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?”
- Sunday-Worked, did home work, and watched Despicable me for about the 300th time.
- Monday- Had class, had some yummy chicken fries (I know far from healthy), danced for a long long time, and finally started to like swing dance now that I know more. Lastly I met the sisters of DXO and had a blast hanging out with them in the evening.
- Tuesday- Woke up around 10 sick as a dog, did homework with hot tea and cold meds. Had work from 3 till 7 went home and slept all night. How I go from happy as can be to sick as a dog I will never understand.
Now onto the kind of, sort of fun part, my dream job would probably be something that I could work from home a lot. As you can tell family is the world to me so being able to spend time at home is really important to me. I’d like that job to enable to me be creative and colorful, but still taken seriously. Working for an advertising agency from home, not a struggling artist. Light travel would be good as well. I’ve still got my goal of dipping my feet into all the oceans. I’ve gotten to 2 of 5 so far. Well that’s all I’ve got for ya today. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.

Yuck

It’s A Boy!
Posted: January 31, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentHappily Saturday was much more relaxing than Friday, I’d have lost my mind if it wasn’t! Worked till three then got to go to Lisa’s baby shower, YEYEYEYEYE!!! She’s a big Nightmare Before Christmas nut so that’s what the theme was and her sister made a large mural with orange and purple lights of the mountain in the movie. It was very nice, no she isn’t naming the baby Jack. His name is Lucion (lu-shun) and I’m very happy for her. The baby shower was at her cousin’s house, and was a nice small event just her close family and friends. Everyone got her baby clothes and the small little bath things she would need, some receiving blankets and such. I got her a birth certificate display for her home that can be engraved, some baby socks, a fleece outfit to keep little dude warm, and 52 packs of diapers, one pack for every week till he’s one. Now that the shower is over I can start planning for his first b-day (Mwahahhahahahaha). Football camp here we come! She’s going to be a wonderful mom, with or without the help of her parents, I’m so proud of how far she’s come in the past year.
Well that’s really all I have for you, baby news, not so much with the exciting. I guess I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.

“Hit The White One!”
Posted: January 29, 2011 Filed under: Friends, School | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentLife is nuts, point blank. It’s hard to describe and at times even harder to live. Friday was one of those days when things get so crazy you are forced to think about life one moment at a time and not further. I love these days. When things get so crazy I feel like I’m the best version of me possible, that’s all I could ever wish for. Left early for class and was ready to go on time, got to eat my favorite breakfast and some hot tea. Class went well and didn’t make a fool of myself. All in all it was a smooth and normal day until about 4:30, which is when all heck broke loose.
Of course when I’m not sitting in a class room things go south. Got back into Mgtn around 4:30 got my check cashed and knew that before I did anything else my first stop would have to be to get the oil changed in my car. I had no idea when my mom had last changed it, I felt that alone was a bad sign. Any time I’d think about it the Mike Rowe commercial would come to mind, engine sludge is bad! Getting there I hit traffic on a hill. That’s no problem except I didn’t get all the snow off the roof of my car. I don’t think it needs to be said that when ?lbs. of snow falls off the top of your car and down your windshield blocking most of your vision, you have a small little heart attack that includes screaming and crying. I ended up getting the oil change at Wal-Mart due to I didn’t take the time to make an appointment with the car dealer, what I’m lazy sometimes! The best part, ended up waiting two hours for my car to even pull into the garage, last time I’ll ever do that again.
My two hours at Wal-mart could be summed up in as:
- Talking myself into buying something, talking myself out of it
- Looking at makeup, Wishing they sold a foundation brush that was decent
- Reviewing dance notes and lessons on my phone
- Practicing what I was reading
- Running into a shelf and deciding to stop before I got kicked out
- Chilling out with my mommy
- Enjoying a Reese’s
I can’t imagine getting kicked out of Wal-mart. It’s like the only place you can walk in practically naked and they would never say anything. Got there are 5 left at about 7:30, how fun!
Grabbed dinner and headed home only to get a text around 9:30 from Rich. “Wanna go shoot some pool?” This is the great conflict of my weekend, as dumb as that sounds. I’d been up and in Fmnt since 8am. I was now going on 13 hours after a very long afternoon, but I was so happy to get out not be doing homework, or reading about Darden Company. Got to hang out and say hi to the many old men at Buck’s. There’s something adorable about a bunch of men in their 60’s sharing a beer and waiting on their wives, makes me smile. You better know with my luck that something funny happened here to! In all my years I’ve discovered that for every moment of genius I have very soon there’s going to be a moment of WTF following right behind to knock me down a notch. I just got done telling about a story written by this author named Ovid who lived around the time of Jesus and one of his stories in the Metamorphoses mostly the story about Lycan. Only then to follow with hitting a ball into the pocket using the 7 ball…”Use the white one stupid!”
Finally got home around 12:30am meaning I had been up for sixteen hours and if I wasn’t asleep when I hit that pillow I sure as heck was close. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow ❤

All You Need Is Love
Posted: January 28, 2011 Filed under: Family, Friends, Life | Tags: Postaday2011 Leave a commentThe reading in my English course either goes two ways, in chronological order or in order of subject matter. First creation, then what’s the point of life, followed by love, super human tales, and finishing off with death. For the last two weeks now we have been reading about creation stories, relationships with your maker, and the fall of mankind. What a cheery subject! When you break it down this is all we are really trying to figure out. The basis of getting an education, religion, getting married, having children they are all just answers to the ultimate question of what am I going to do with my time here on earth and what am I going to do to make life matter? I hope when I say all of this you don’t find me a total nut case or any of the words that could be used to describe someone who just wants to know the big picture. Today while getting ready for the day I was looking up and saw my grandma’s purple fork that used to hang in her restaurant, and this brought me to love. Something that is so hard to describe and surrounds us all the time, through every step of life there’s going to be love involved.
As a child we do very little giving of love. It’s a whole bunch of receiving, which later in life we see, but from a mother and fathers stand point I think no matter how tough this time is that love shines back without even knowing it. Your bundle of joy is born and for months does nothing more than sleep, poop, cry, and eat. One day many months from those 12 hours of labor you hear a small sigh and that first giggle. That first sign that you are doing something right, be it falling down and causing that giggle or cleaning that green sticky puddle of peas off the top of such a precious little head. As a young adult things come into perspective and can become overwhelming. You have the love of your parents, and grandparents, the love of your friends, the love of a pet, and the love of a significant other. All of these things add up to that no matter what you know that your needs will be met and you’ll be safe.
The love of this significant other grows and you age, becoming softer and smarter. You then start the cycle over having children, but then you run into the type of love none of us ever wish to know, the love that comes from letting go. Someday many years from now you will lose that mom who taught you to make your bed, or the father who took you to your fist football game. On that sad day a love like no other shines in on your life, you see that as small as all those moments may have been they made life great. It wasn’t the trip to Disney World or the day Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift. It’s the moment when you see that living your life one day at a time is what’s going to give you the key to those pearly gates, or whatever you believe in. Sometimes the strongest love in your life is the one that you have the hardest time saying goodbye to, ❤ you grandma.
Yesterday I worked, and nothing much happened. Lisa is considering staying at home more due to baby pains. I’m still unsure of what Wally is going to do when she leaves. That leaves it to only me, him and occasionally Dave able to make sales downstairs. I’m only able to work 4 days a week that makes it very hard on him and I wish I knew someone who could help. I hate leaving him there all day, it’s a bummer. On the upside, at least it stopped snowing! Ok y’all I’ve got nothing left. I’ll let ya know about today tomorrow.
