As promised...here is the handbag meme that Chantell tagged me to do! First, these are the latest purses that I received.  I got both of these for Christmas.  The silver one I got from my parents.  I've used it once, but I really like it.  The problem is it's not quite as big as I like for everyday use.  The maroon MSU bag was given to me by some friends.  I'll use it when I'm at the game! Secondly, the purses I'm currently using.  I use both the black and the brown purse daily, just depending on what color I'm wearing.  The black purse was purchased last November in LA at one of my favorite stores Forever 21 .  It's really big put I LOVE it.  The brown purse I got for $20 or so at a little store in Jackson, MS called The Silver Gallery . Next is one of my favorite purses.  I used it almost all summer because it's big, white, durable, but really cute.  I bought this last Spring Break in Little Rock, AR at Forever 21.  I probably paid about $30 for it,

This week has been busy, and it looks like I'm about to get much busier.  I started a night class this morning, but I'll give you all the details this weekend.  I promise.  And a purse meme, compliments of Chantell's tag....all coming soon!

I was at a concert tonight, Bucky Covington .  But that's not the story.  I saw a guy walk in with several of his friends, and he was...Edward Cullen like.  (For those not in the know, that's the guy from Twilight .) I know, I'm sick, but it's true.  He was very good looking, but it was more than that.  He seemed to give off some type of energy.  I tried not to stare, but I don't think I was so good at following through.  He was dressed nicely in a grey turtleneck, jeans, and a black leather jacket. He just seemed so perfect.  He nor his friends stayed very long.  I saw them as they all walked out, my Edward strolling confidently and beautifully down the aisle.  Maybe they didn't like the music or maybe they had to go hunt?  I looked for him after the show was over, but I didn't see him. If he shows up in my dreams, then maybe I'll be on to something?  I did dream about hanging out with Tim Tebow a couple of nights ago though! :)

**Disclaimer**  I'll probably be giving away a little bit of the plot to the books, so if you are still reading the Series...proceed with caution! So I finally decided to read the Twilight books and figure out what was so great that it had all of my students (7 th graders to seniors) actually sticking their heads in a book!  It didn't take too long to realize that the story is plain mesmerizing.  I started the saga last Sunday and finished it today.  I even read the 3rd book in one night.  I started at 6:30 and couldn't stop reading until I finished it at 2:30 that morning. A guy friend and aspiring author said that he wanted to read the series and try to figure out what it was that women wanted in a good novel, since Twilight seemed to be the only thing teenage girls could talk about lately.  My first response was, "A girl wants out of a novel what she wants in reality but knows she isn't going to get...perfection!"  After finishing the last book, Breaking D

I have been preoccupied all week with reading the Twilight series. I realize that I'm a tad behind times, but I finally gave in to the peer-pressure of Junior High and High School students. I promise a more detailed post over the weekend. But I just finished book 2 and will not have book 3 in my hand until tomorrow, so I need to take advantage of the time I have to clean my apartment and do all the things I've been neglecting since I started this series!

My first week back to school turned out to be a great week.  The students behaved for the most part, and I got several things knocked off of my "to-do" list.   I went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned.  I love having my teeth cleaned, especially now since they are pretty and straight!  I also went to the doctor and had my blood checked again.  I am extremely anemic.  I was put on iron pills about a year ago, but when I went back for a check up, my iron levels were still low.  The doctor doubled my dosage of iron, and this time my levels were up.  I'm glad about that because taking iron pills is so much better than a shot!  I still need to visit the eye doctor and the dermatologist , but they'll have to wait until I pay for the blood work up. This week I have to begin applying for Grad School.  I need to call and get my transcripts and fill out the application, etc.  The process shouldn't be too hard, but I have to get a start on it in order to make the deadl

Mr. Amazing bought me a balloon (among other things) when he was here for my birthday this past August.  It was this huge balloon in the shape of a cupcake that said "Happy B-day" on it.  Surprisingly, the balloon has been sitting in the corner of my room since August still perfectly afloat.  It had a lost a little of it's air, but it was still perfectly upright.  I even made a comment about it to him via text yesterday saying that it was still up and had seemed to stick around longer than he did.  (For those of you wondering, he replied back "whatever." and I told him I was just kidding, although there was a lot of truth to the statement.) When I left today for church, I assume it was still afloat.  Being that it's been here so long, I've actually never paid it too much attention.  However, this afternoon when I came home from church, the balloon was half way to the floor.  It immediately caught my eye.  I walked over to it and pleaded with it.  "P

I had an uneventful New Year's Eve.  It wasn't at all what I had anticipated, but by the time 12 AM arrived, I was just glad to be spending it with anyone at all. I ended up hanging out with my parents and going to one of their friend's house to ring in the new year.  We were all sitting around playing Deal or No Deal  and I looked down at my phone.  15 minutes until the new year.  10 minutes to the new year.  7 minutes to the new year.  I looked to an old friend next to me and said... "Why am I counting down?  Like in 7 minutes my life is going to radically change for the better?" She laughed and agreed..."Not like your knight in shining armor is going to arrive right at that moment, huh?"   "Nope...he'd probably be riding a mule and wearing tin foil anyway!" We were just joking around but they reality is true.  A new year isn't going to miraculously change anything.  No matter whether 2008 was the best year ever or the worst year ever
