Ready, set....

Breathe.

It's been... awhile. I forgot about this until my brother made one

Anyways..
I've got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much going on right now and my emotions are starting to get all mixed and jumbled up together. I literally just typed and then deleted a whole paragraph because it was all unnecessary. That's how jumbled up I am right now.

Bleh. Maybe later.

We are officially the 2nd day into the new year and I'd just like to make a late statement:

Happy New Year!!

I hope it brings love, laughter, and new friendships.
:)

Birthday!

Yay for officially being 19!!
Woo-hoo!
I can now legally do everything that I could when I was 18! :)

Here's just a few snapshots from my oh-so-hectic day.

^^This is Kiley^^

She's my baby and follows me everywhere.
[[Even to fix lights on wreaths]]

^^This is Turtle^^
We knew that there was a reason we didn't put any ornaments on this year and she was the reason why. This is the kitties' first Christmas with us, so we had to be cautious.
^^This is Paws^^
She's always hungry.
[[& a troublemaker]]
I found her in the cat food bin, today.
Luckily, the food was already that low.

^^Yay, me!^^
I didn't want a whole cake because half of it always ends up going stale.
So, I decided on cupcakes, instead.
:)

^^This is Jamie^^
She's my other baby.
We've had her since before we moved to Georgia...

... & she's one spoiled puppy.
[[Licking icing off my finger]]

^^Turtle & Kiley^^
This was their reaction when I told them that icing wasn't good for their tummy.

Fun day full of love from my animals! :D

College classes for Fall '09 are FINALLY over!!!
-cue the toots and whistles-
Grades are in, and I passed everything. Taking five classes was such a hassle (and to think that I wanted to take a full load of six classes!). But, oddly, my Saturday classes were the best. I'm thankful that it didn't get unbearably cold until after I got done with classes. I'm not sure if I'd have been able to bear this weather walking from class to class!

Now that this weather is here, (& I have no assignments due for any classes), I am going to curl up by the fireplace and pick up knitting and crocheting again (why, yes... I am a fan of doing the 'old lady' needle and yarn hobbies) :)

College!

Things are finally starting to look up! Unfortunately, there are only three more weeks until the end of the semester, but better late then never, eh? I've gotten all the classes that I need/want for next semester & I'm going to make it more enjoyable than this one. I'm also looking at picking back up my clarinet again; it's been far too long since I've played.

Well, that's about it in a nutshell! Off to take three online tests and ace them!

-Amanda

Too long!

I'm quite disappointed. I told myself that I would keep this up, but then BAM! college work started taking over my life!
[[insert tired and stressed picture here]]
Hopefully, things will ease up soon!

Silly Kitty

That's Paws and Mr. Grasshopper.
They play hide-and-seek everyday.
