The tragic shower story...and...The wonderful awkwardness that is my life.

Hey bloggers,
So today I had a very tragic accident...
I was taking a shower and suddenly the little soap/shaver holder thing lept off the wall and tried to attack my foot. Scary I know. My foot is ok though, the shower wall on the other hand...wasn't so lucky. But I've been told to put tape over the hole in the wall and forget about it. But I mean, how tacky is that? And how am I supposed to live without a place to put my razor?? But on the bright side there were no injuries involved so we're all good. Except for the poor wall that is now naked...

On another note my evening has been pretty interesting. So my dad asked me to go eat dinner and or go see a movie with him which isn't always the highlight of my life but oh well. So I do and we go eat at Petra which was really good, Julian was there working and gave us free desert which I really did not need but was delicious. And then we went to wal mart and rented a movie from that big red box thing. The Jane Austen book club.
Let me just say that this is probably the awkwardest thing I've done in months, and yes I just said awkwardest, it's hilarious and yet very uncomfortable. In this movie there is a girl that is a lesbian, a teacher girl who is married and falls for one of her highschool students, a guy that cheats on his wife and a girl who doesn't want to get married and a few others and they all get together and have a book club and talk about all the Jane Austen novels. The funniest part was how often the topic of sex came up in their discussions and how uncomfortable it made the mood in the room I was sitting in. There were huffy breaths coming from all over I was surrounded. All in all the movie ended well and I think I actually liked it. However I think I will have to watch it again without my parents and the unavoidable awkwardness that follows them everywhere and see if I really like it or not.

Well now the movie is over. I can feel their disgust at the movie we just watched its hilarious. This has been a very interesting night. I kinda feel like reading a trashy romance novel and I don't know why. Well the family has turned on bugs bunny cartoons and that would be my cue to go back upstairs. So for now that's all folks.

Texas laws are evil...

Sorry for the lack of blog postings lately. I really just havent had anything interesting enough to talk about. Until now that is.

So this week I've been trying to get the rest of the stuff done for my ticket that I got forever ago. I had done everything but go to the DPS (which by the way stands for the Department of Public Stupidity or also known as the DMV, the Department of Money Vultures) to take a driving test. So I go to the McKinney DPS to take it and I wait an hour only to find out that you can only take it in the morning. So my mom and I look up all the rules and all the things you have to do for that and find out that you have to show up to the place at least an hour before it opens and wait at the door in line till they open and let you in to get an appointment to take your test later in the day....

So mom looked up where else they have DPS's not wanting me to wait in line for an hour with all the ghetto people of downtown McKinney all by myself, and finds one in Plano. So Thursday I get up at 5 45 in the morning (before God and all things holy even think about getting up) and I drive to Plano, get there at 6 30 and theres a good 20 people already there in line. So I sit down and join them thinking ok whatever at least I'll have people to talk to while I wait. Wrong. I was one of two white people out of the 20 in line and everyone else was speaking their own strange language. So I waited in silence for an hour and a half until I got my appointment to take my driving test an hour and a half later.

I wait

And wait

And wait

Finally I get to do it. But of course I get stuck with the mean black lady instructor person instead of the nice old man. I'm not racist I swear.

The first thing I have to do is parallel park. Not a big deal, I'm a good parallel parker. Wrong. Apparently on Thursday mornings I am a terrible parallel parker and I fail. The mean lady tells me I can come back tomorrow. (Yay I get to get up at 5 45 again in the morning.

So this morning I do the whole thing all over again ready for everything. Oh and Fridays the DPS opens at 8 instead of 7 30. So I decide to get there at the same time as yesterday anyway so I can be closer to the front of the line. Wrong. I get there at 6 30 again (an hour and a half before the place opens) and guess what. There like 25 people already there waiting.

But today I came prepared for the long wait and brought my Bible like a good little Christian girl.

Finally they open. I get my appointment to take my test again and I go and practice parallel parking like 20 times and then get in line.

Luck is finally with me! I get the nice old man!

He recognizes me from yesterday and asks what happened and why I'm back. I tell him and he gets in the car and we start the test. At this point I'm so nervous I'm about to pee my pants. But....I passed!!!

And then it was a long process of getting all the paperwork worked out and paying 10 bucks to get a new drivers license that I really don't need with a new picture that will be even worse than the one I had before (remember this is all happening before 10 AM)

To make an already very long story short. I finished everything I needed for my ticket and as soon as we get back from Desperation I will be a free woman!


Now my busy weekend is starting. I won't even go into everything that is going on this weekend because if I did by the time I finished the weekend would be over. Thank you for reading and have a good day.

Happy Tuesday

Hey bloggers

I don't really have much of interest to say but I was in the mood to post a blog so sorry about the boringness.


So yesterday was pretty uneventful and consisted of watching movies with my mom and boredom, and then babysitting the Chesneys. Then this morning I got up and went to work out. Something I havent done in a very very long time. And now I am back at the Padilla's and I just finished washing the dishes and cleaning up a little from the crazy party I had here the other night. I hope they won't notice all the alcohol missing:-/

Well the lady I'm supposed to be working for while Brittany is out of town called me again last night and said she won't need me today either. So I think today I will lay out and get tan. Oh and then tomorrow I'm getting my hair colored again. Yay for no more roots!


I apologize for the boringness of this blog. I will shut up now.

Good morning

So the garage sale went pretty well. We made more than we were expecting to which was good but we still had sooooo much crap left over that we're giving to good will and we get to box and bag that all up today after church, woohoo.


Last night I babysat from 6 to 1 30 in the morning and made 85 bucks so that was exciting, we watched shrek 3 and ice age and played wii fitness, I am still sore from that by the way. And then the kids went to bed and I played guitar hero for like 2 and a half hours lol. And then I came back to the Padilla's to sleep cuz I'm house sitting. That was the first time I've ever stayed in a house all by myself so it was a little bit scary. Really the only thing that was really scary was the fan in Brittany's room was on and so every little sound from the fan or from something blowing around sounded like a person coming into the room. But once I fell asleep it was fine lol I would never want to live alone though its way too quiet.


Well I better get going to church. The youth band *minus Brittany, Kenzie, and I* is playing in big church this weekend, so that should be pretty interesting.

Later yo

Long time no post

Hey blogger people

Sorry for not posting in like 10 years. It's been a kind of depressing and unsure last few weeks and I didn't want to bore you with my boo hoo-ness. So I will try to keep this post as happy and upbeat as possible.

Brittany and her family left today on vacation for a week:-( *wow I'm off to a crummy start on keeping this happy* I am staying at her house for the week though so that will be cool to have a place to go and be alone and get away from, well everything. It's sad when you feel more at home in someone elses home than your own.

Moving on, our youth group is having a church garage sale in the morning as a fund raiser for desperation. We have to be at the church in the morning at the very ungodly hour of 5:45 AM. God isn't even up that early! It's not right to make people be some place before the sun and God are even up! I'm not exactly a morning type person. I'm working on it though I really am.

umm...today was the last day of house sitting the house is plano, those poor dogs didn't get walked all week. Brittany and I are not very good house/dog sitter, at least when the house is a good 2o min away.

oh today my mother officially said her last no about keeping the squirrel...I am sad but I know it would have been a huge hassel to keep her so it's for the best. But I will miss her, just not her peeing on everything.

Let's see...what else...I think that's about all the interesting, non-depressing, details of life right now.

So with that I will end this somewhat boring yet informative post and bid thee all a good evening.

Anybody home?

God I really need your help right now.
I'm so sick of this.
I'm sick of not knowing for sure.
Every time I think I know for sure something changes and suddenly I don't know.
I need a little certainty.
It would be really cool if you could like post a big neon sign outside my window with bright flashing lights telling me what I'm supposed to do about this...
Heck I'd be fine with a talking donkey right about now, I just need to know.
I feel like every decision I make is the wrong one.
I don't want to screw this up...
Please Jesus I need you.

Good morning

Hello and good morning blogger people

I filled out my application to go to worship school part time. Well my mom filled it out and I told her what to write because I have the handwriting equivalent to an 8 year old boy. I really should work on that...
I'm ready to just go to worship school now. All of the suspense of not knowing what is going to happen or what its really going to be like is killing me. Plus I'm getting extremely sick of my family...I know thats really bad to say but its true...I'm just ready to leave...

Well I have an interview at Mardel today so I should probably go get ready...later peeps
