Black Friday ...

So Thursday I had to work til 11, and my friends Katie and Rosalia wanted to go to the outlets as soon as I got off work! I agreed (ugh) and met them at my house when I got off work. After I had showered I was ready to go. We drove up to the outlets and waitied in traffic....it was kinda fun though because we saw a lot of crazy people. We had to park pretty far away, and it was freeeezing. So finally we got to Coach. OMG it was ridic, we had to wait to get in the store and had to wait to look at a damn shelf of purses it was madness. I wanted a coach purse but I got so impatient from trying to even look at bags I gave up :( After Rosalia & Katie got purses we went to Polo and some jewlery stores. Then we decided to go to walmart. I got a really nice printer and that made me happy it wasn't too busy. I wanted a new digital camera, but the line was sooo long!! I was not gonna wait for that. Then we went to park city when it opened and got some make up at sephora, went to VS, BEBE, and A&F. I got some sweet stuff. Then we went all the way to Ephrata for some more shopping. I didn't get home til like 10 Friday morning and had to take my brother to basketball at 11. What a long day. I hate black friday

BF:)

My boyfriend cooked dinner for my Saturday :) I was really tired from working and all that stuff and I went over to his house to be suprised with a candle lit dinner ! He made chicked, broccoli, alfredo sauce with noodles. Yum. It was pretty good I was so happy. After that he had desssert ready, chocolate covered strawberries, brownies and vanilla ice cream....makes me hungry thinking about it again lol After dinner he brought out a tiny white box...and he gave me a pretty necklace from KAY's! :) Then he took me to see New Moon(he doesn't care for Twilight so I was suprised). I loved the movie and had a perfect night with my boyfriend. Today after work he brought me beef jerky, sour patch kids and pepsi.. I love him so much haha

Thanksgiving break?

Yeah, so it wasn't really the greatest Thanksgiving break due to the fact I had homework in every class. Most of my friends got like at least a full week. Oh well I'm not complaining, I got a lot done but wished I had more down time. I worked Thanksgiving, so I didn't get to go to Philly this year to see the fam. Oh well, spending time with my residents is always fun. It's almost the end of the semester and I have tons of homework to do yet, I can't wait til Christmas break!! Hopefully these next couple of weeks fly by!

I had one scary night!

Okay, so for the past two weeks my dad has been warning me to be careful driving (since I drive everywhere!) because around this time people get crazy! Anyway, on to my story.. It was Tuesday night around 5 but it was already really dark. I was on my way to Dallastown to pick up my little brother, Ben, from basketball practice. It's about 15 minutes to get there when you take back roads and I had time to kill so I figured why not. I was driving along and I came up to an old small car that was going well below the speed limit (40) so I stayed back for a little bit to see if they would speed up or pull over knowing they had someone behind them. Well we were still driving and I was about 2 car lengths away and we were going up a gradual hill when the car started to put on the breaks? I thought is this person drunk? what the hell is going on here? So getting impatient I layed my hand on the horn and they came to a COMPLETE stop...We were at a small intersection when they had stopped and the car parked in the middle of the three way blocking me from all three directions. Confused and scared I grabbed my cell phone in case I reaaaally needed it. I had my hand on the gear ready to reverse in case something went wrong. I thought this guy was just being a total jerk until he whipped out of his car threw his cell phone in his car and came running over to my car. I was shaking like a leaf I literally had not been so scared in my life! I locked my car doors and was ready to back out when he got in my way and I would have hit him if I moved. He started yelling profanity's and his spit was on my window. This dude was literally like 6 3 easily. I was soooooooo scared. I kept yelling go away a million times I was so scared he called me all sorts of nasty names. A car was pulling up to the intersection and he went back to his car cursing the whole way. I was shaking so bad as I sped off in a different direction. I called my dad the minute I drove off. It's a shame I didn't get his plates. It was definitely the scariest experience of my life . :(

Next Friday!

Next Friday is BLACK FRIDAY and I am so excited. Rosalia, Katie and I are going shopping! Well me and Katie got a little shopping done last Friday up near Philly, but Rosalia had to go into work at three. We're planning to get up around 4 on Friday morning to get out early.I hate hate hate crowds and Black Friday is the only day I won't complain about standing around in lines, esp if I have a good deal. I just hope I wont be TOO worn out to shop. I've been working since Thursday now and wont have a day off until Tuesday night then it's back to work 11-7 Wednesday night, Come home at 8 am Thursday morning, (Thanksgiving) then back to work at 3 on Thanksgiving! Ah, so I won't be going to Philadelphia this year to see some Kennedy's for our feast. I love the food my family makes. Hopefully the turkey we're having at work is good! Then shopping, yayyyy.

Thank You for Smoking

"Thank You for Smoking" was a pretty good film. I think Nick Naylor, the main character, really worked hard to fight for what he wants...and to pay the mortage. The argumentive parts of his role were really good and he always saw other sides to the situation. I also really liked how the MOB squad got together. Three people who are hated for what they represent were really strong. I also liked the relationship he had with his son. Naylor wanted to take him to work to show him what he does and such and taught him a lot about arguing...and the U.S. Government!

2012? Seriously?

Okay, so personally, I'm annoyed with hearing about the "world ending" in 2012 just because the Mayan calender runs out December 21, 2012. Who says they know when the entire world is going to end? They should have made a longer calender! My cellphone calender goes to 2020. Ha ha. Also, Who the hell said it was going to end in 2000 ? Obviously they were WRONG. I don't know about you, but I personally do not believe that someone honestly predicted when the world is going to "end". What's gonna' happen anyways? I did some research and read that numerous things could happen such as: ice age, the sun becoming so big it literally burns off the planet earth, the sun will shrink, not being able to adequately take care of earth and so on. I can see some of this stuff happening in the future and I mean millions of years from now, that's what scientists have said. As far as any of this crap happening in 2012? Who has proof, I would love to know. I just can't find any proper scientific proof to honestly predict the earth "ending" in 2012. Now a movie of 2012?! I think Hollywood is starting to get into people's heads too much. I don't know, whatever, guess we'll have to see what happens.

"This mass[earth] that rotates around the star will exist until consumed in a massive supernova 5 billion years from now. Human kind will spring board off before then and 2012 will just be a date of some obscure reference like the date that Napoleon ate a cheese cake."-Anonymous

27 Lights

"Six years ago in a cornfield in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of reckless South-Central Pennsylvania teenagers formed a band called 27 Lights. Inspired by a wide variety of rock and roots influence, they began writing songs that featured a unique flavor of psychedelic- and reggae-flavored rock. Starting with local shows and Battles of the Bands in York, PA"(27 Lights)

So my older brother Max, 22, is the singer of a band called 27 Lights. Max has always been talented in music, he's been playing the acoustic gutair since I don't remember and when myself and Max were in the S.D. Spady Chorus in Delray Beach, Fl. Max got a lot of solo opportunities! The band consists of Max, vocals, Bill, Gutair, Vince, Bass, and Bobby, the drums. They won the battle of the bands two years in a row at Dallastown High and have played in many Coffee Houses. They aren't just some put together rock band, their style is actually really unique. It has a lot of different sounds too it, a little bit of rock and reggae, it's "chill" music, I would personally describe it just because knowing my brother & the bands' personality, their so chill with everything and the band reflects that. So about a year now the band relocated to New Orleans, LA. It's been really exciting for them getting different gigs every weekend and opening up for more well known bands (i.e. SOUJA). They have a myspace page if you wanna check out their music and learn more about the band.

Jas & Jen wed in Vermont

So my oldest brother, Jason, finally got married after dating his wife, Jen, for close to 9 years. My brother Jason was in the Navy as a Nuc Engineer for about 6 years. He went in right after high school, turning down a full ride to Flagler! After the Navy he moved from Florida to San Diego, Calif. and he attended San Diego state to finish off his Engineering career. Finally after those 8 1/2 years he's been out in Cali, him and Jen got married in Vermont the beginning of October in Burlington, Vermont. Why Vermont? Well that's where Jen's from. Trust me I would have loved to have another visit out to their home on the beautiful beach in Diego, but the wedding was very pretty in Vermont. Although it was ten times colder there than it was here, there was a lot to do! When we got to the moutain top resort there was horsbackriding! Archery, lots of great food, a lot of jason's friends that most of them the last time they saw me I was in diapers. It was really cool for me and my three brothers to be together at once because it's not too often that happens! Max lives in New Orleans! My second oldest brother so were almost never in the same place at the same time! Now I have a sister in law though :-) She's a marine biologist and works with Daulphins and Sharks. I'm really excitied to see when I will become an Aunt!

Vermont! That's Lake Champlain behind me.

summer girl

Even though it wasn't that long ago, I miss summer! I'm a florida girl so warm weather is just in my blood.. since moving up here everyone has always made fun of me because I am always just so cold. I bundle up for a snow storm when it's like only 50. I can't stand it though, call me crazy but I hate waking up in the morning, seeing snow on the ground because I know I have to help shovel the driveway. Shoveling isn't the part that bothers me, it's about how freaking numb I get from being out in the ice. I hate the snow, although I have tried skiing and snowboarding at Roundtop, loved it, but not for me I'd rather be skimboarding or surfing. I would rather be in sweltering hott heat, like when I went out west to Las Vegas and death valley one summer it was 110! That was perfectly fine with me...but 60 and below...no way hate it. I'm weird like that.There always seems like there is more to do during the summer. In the winter, I never feel like doing anything. I go to the gym and run and sit in the hot tub but thats boring I'd rather be out in the sun doing things outside! Ugh I miss summertime and cannot wait til it's time to transfer to back to southern florida!

i <3 suprises

Last Sunday my boyfriend, Jared and I got into a fight! I don't exactly remember what we were fighting about, but fighting is never good and we...well I went to bed before it was settled. I woke up Monday morning with a text that said "go outside to your car when you wake up!" I was half asleep and honestly didn't know why exactly I got up sooo early on a Monday morning when my first class isn't til 2. Confused I walked downstairs, my Dad was suprised I was up, He said it might rain soon and I better go check my car. Check my car?! Why? So I continued outside to the driveway when I was suprised with a dozen pink roses and car paint on my car saying "I love you" and "You're my sweetheart" with a note. :-) It was a really nice suprise because I wasn't expecting it since he had done it at 2a.m. ! Plus, he has a limited liscense since he lost his and can only drive to school and work so it was a shock he drove from West York all the way to Dallastown to bring me such a cute suprise :-) It was a perfect way to start off my week for sure.

Inservice, sucks!

For work we have these online tutorials about influenza, biohazards, hand washing, and all that other health care, safety stuff. Things we are already aware about espcially when you have "Employees must wash hands before returning to work" to remind you everywhere there is a sink! We are given a password and a user name and are expected to complete them by the due dates. They aren't so bad except when you gotta do them at home, it's like extra homework AND you don't get paid for them! Next month I am most definietly doing mine at work because these things take forever! They walk you through all the steps on certain things and then you have to take quiz's on the information given....ah just adds to my list of things to do on top of all this homework I get!

cleaning out my closet!

So I have a pretty big closet, and it gets very messy due to the fact I take advantage of how much room I have for "junk" so anytime I clean, I throw all my crap in my closet and my actual room looks spic & span. So I have a lot of clothing that is sitting in my closet because it doesn't fit or it's outdated or I just simply lost interest in wearing/using it. My little brother has been selling his video games and old nintendo game systems and games for money on Ebay. I use to think Ebay was sort of lame and untrusting, I never knew you would get what you pay for. Yet, Ben uses all the money he gets from old games to buy new games, or have that money be generated into cash from his pay pal account! I got a good idea to start selling some clothing, field hockey equiptment, bags, luggage, shoes, formal dresses and things that I have accumilated over the years and don't need any longer. Some of these things are worth some good money still and I hate for them to just sit around not being used. So why not sell them?! Hope it's successful! :-)
