Well hello there!
I'm writing this blog and many to come in order to keep all of my family and friends updated on my life. So many of you are far away and it is hard to stay in touch with everyone, therefore I'm just going to write it down once and everyone can read it. Hopefully this helps me stay in touch with the people I care about.
We can all thank Mary Beth, also MB, my friends and co-worker for entering me into this world of Blogging. The Dr Pepper museum really utilizes blogs to reach their fans and MB also has one of her own and there have been times where something fantastic happens and she says "I'm going to have to blog about this". In fact she has even talked about me before in her own blogs. So thats really what got me thinking about having my own. Also I had told Janet that I would write her a long time ago and since I kept putting it off, I figured that this would be a fabulous way to stay in touch with the people that are extremly far away! Janet you win on the distance, Your the only one of my friends that is currently out of the country, China. Yah! you win on that one.
Well basically I've started my frist year of Grad School. I'm really surprised at how smoothy it is going but thats the main reason why I decided to stay at Baylor and choose the program that I did. I'm American Studies right now and plan to graduate in 2009. Then hopefully go on to have some fantastic job in a fantastic place that I just love and everyone can come and visit.
I also made an addition to my household. I adopted Jack "Vito" the cat from Fuzzy Friends in Waco. He is an orange tabby and he was found on the side of the road one day. When we meet it was love at first sight, he was so timid and shy. Then I brought him home and he immediatly took a massive dump in the litter box, ate all the food in his bowl, and took a nap. So needless to say he made himself right at home. He is still very very shy around other people. He usually hides the entire time people are at my house. He does not like boys at all, which makes me think he has some bad experiences with men in his life. He is also a little devil at times. He loves to chew on shoes (which btw Jaycie never did and knows better anyway!), he likes to take the cords from my bath robes and drag them around the house, he likes to run as fast as he can, attack Jaycie, and then get on something where Jaycie can't get to him and tease her. He is also a big eater. That is the only time he ever talks is when he's hungry and then he cries like a baby and stands in front of the closet where he food is. I think he still thinks that the food in his bowl is the only food he'll eat for a while and so he gorges himself on food, but he is getting better. The more he eats the more he poos and it crazy how much food can go through that small a cat.
Jaycie is still very jealous and I knew she would be. The reason why I got Jack was to keep her company while I'm at work and school all day. My classes worked out where I'm usually gone 8 to 5 everyday and thats a long time for Jaycie to sit around and do nothing. So she gets along with Jack, but she is very serious about me not giving Jack much attention when she is around. The good thing is that Jack loves Jaycie more then he does me. He likes to sleep with her, play with her, and follow her around and really could care less about me. Just as long as I keep the food and water bowl full, he's content and happy to be with Jaycie.
So the kids are good, though it does feel like I'm in a zoo somethings, it keeps me entertained.
Recently I have made two large purchases. The first was a new set of cookware from Bed Bath and Beyond. My first set was $20 from Wal-mart and it lasted me 3 years, but it was so worn that it was hard to cook with it. So I upgraded to Invitations, at Bed Bath and Beyond and got one hell of deal. I got 8 pieces plus 4 more. So I got the big bowl for pasta, the 2 different size sauce pans, the skillet and the lids to all the pans. Additionally I got a new cake pan with plastic lid, a rot iron skillet, and utensils that help protect the non stick surface. Plus a rebate! Then I bought a gianormous Skillet that is like 12" with a lid and 2 handles, one on each side.

I am so very excited to use it!!! I figured it would be good to make Hamburger Helper in because it won't spill over. My old skillet was so small that when I went to stir the H. Helper it would always spill over the edges.
My next purchase was something that I have been wanting to buy for a long time. It was a leather bag. And it is lovely! I also got a matching planner that goes with it. It came from Franklin Covey, which is also great because it is a good comapany that helps you organize and manage your life. So I feel so fashionable and professional at the same time. The leather is oh so very soft and it is a neutral off-white that will go great for all seaons. I have to say I did not plan on making this purchase but one of my co-workers Sammy (Cha Cha) left the franklin covey website up on my computer and I got to browsing and found my fabulous bag and planner on SALE and it was one of those things that you could not pass up. Go check it out at http://www.franklincovey.com/
