Halloween Weekend

Any guesses on what I'm doing this weekend??? locking myself in my room and not leaving... at all. not for food or laundry or anything. I've heard about way too many parties and crazy stuff going on this weekend and I'm nervous, but i will have plenty of stuff to do. i have a take home Quiz due on Monday and a reading Quiz i need to read for... and not to mention all the Netflix i could ask for... and i found a new website that lets you watch all the TV shows for free you want. its called TV dome.

Anyways i got pictures from Auntie Sue today, of Butch and Angel... i miss them. i love getting pictures from home. Alyssa also emailed me from the Netherlands. I think thats all the news for now...

hmmm.... I think its Nap time...

PEACE&LOVE

 and then it warms the water and makes your coffee or hot chocolate! yum!

Suprise!!!

Friday was me and Luis' one year anniversary, he came to visit:) i miss him now that hes gone but we had a great weekend. He decided he wanted to get me a coffee maker... it also does hot chocolate. its actually really awesome and i love it:) I Got him a woven blanket with a collage of pictures of us on it. he just got it when he got home because it was sent through the mail to his house just to make sure he would get it. i really wanted to see it, but there was no grantee that it would get to my dorm while he was here. so i sent it to his house... i will see it next time he comes or next time i come home:)

on Saturday we went to yakima and visited shawn and nikki:) and luis got to meet the babies... i took some pictures

i got some of him and kaelee also but they are on his phone so he needs to send them too me before i can post them. but never fear!! i will bug him till he sends them!

now it is time to do some homework:) its not due till wensday but i should get started:)

PEACE&LOVE

Day and Night...

So all the animals on earth were gathered together discussing important issues, and Bear asked the Question: How do we divide Day and Night?

Some animals wanted it to be Day all the time and others wanted it to be Night all the time. So they argued about it until Ground Squirrel said "why don't we divide Day and Night like the rings on Raccoons tail? One dark band and then an equal light band."

All the animals agreed on this and adopted the new Day and Night routine, which repeated over and over equal Day and equal Night.

But Bear was jealous of Ground Squirrels Wisdom so he scratched him on his back. And to this day Ground Squirrel bears the marks of Bear's jealousy.

(This is the story we were told today in American Indian Studies. I thought it was very interesting, so i blogged it)

Weekend Plans

well before i tell everyone my weekend plans im going to start off by saying that my fishy panchito died the day after i bought him:( i woke up and he was floating belly up... so i went to the pet store to try to figure out what i did to kill him. i was worried that i used the betta water conditioner and maybe that wasnt good for him but the lady said it should have been fine and i asked if it was the tap water. she said that is just like the city water and should be fine too... so i bought another one. and this time i put him in bottle water... and he lived for two days and woke up and he was dead too... so i guess im done with fish for a while... maybe i will buy a snail...

as for plans this weekend. my friends from stanwood asked me if i would drive them to wenatchee so austin could visit his dad on saturday and pick them back up on sunday. i agreed but told them that they would have to foot the gas bill, they were totally cool with that so we leave tomorrow. my plan is to drop them off, go shopping a little maybe visit a pet store and see if i can get something that wont die in my bowl, stop in the park and do some reading for my AIS class, and maybe go out to dinner with Bob and Jan if they call me back. and then drive myself home... to an empty room because Emily just left for the weekend to go home and Elyse is going to stay with one of her friends for a girly night.... good thing about having the room is: i dont have to worry about waiting for the shower(even though that wasnt ever a problem before) and it will be quiet. The bad thing is that i have to wait to watch csi miami until they get back because ive got them both hooked(muahaha) and it will be quiet... maybe ill play loud music just so it will seem normal... well better go do somereading so i dont have to read a million pages this weekend!

PEACE&LOVE

PEACE&LOVE

tired... and losing weight.

i am officially losing weight. even though i am eating junk food and carbs, and i know its because i walk to all my classes. especially swim. i have forced myself to walk to and from swim every tuesday and thursday. its completely across campus so its a really long walk. but if thats what it takes not to gain weight then its worth it.

classes are interesting. one i am doing really good and one is kinda hard but im trying hard to get my quiz scores up. i found out i have to take notes on what i read because there is so much that i forget what i read. other than that life is good.

i have to run to the store tonight or tomorrow. im out of milk and i need a few other things... maybe ill just wait till this weekend and go to yakima... i wanna go to the mall. maybe ill call shawn and nikki and see if they want to go to dinner... hmmmm.

well im exhausted now from the workout today so im going to take a nap because my roommates are gone and its nice and quiet here:)

PEACE&LOVE

Paranoid

Luis came to visit me this weekend!!! His mom didnt end up coming with but she sent me tamalies!! I cant wait to eat them. He stayed at the Hampton Inn which in my oppinion was very nice but kinda expensive. He arrived on friday about 9:00 so i didnt see him untill saturday. On saturday we went to breakfast, then walked around my campus. I took him to all my classes. He wasnt too pleased its a really long walk:) We walked throught the japanese garden also which was really nice:) And after that we just drove around town so he could get to know it a little better. At about 11:30 i was hungry so he took me to the taco truck(#1). yay tacos! and then we were trying to think of places to go and things to do. I brought up maybe going to the mall in yakima. we finally desided to go to cashmere(well he desided and i was just along for the ride.) not that i was complaining. He was finally hungry by the time we got there so first i took him to the taco truck(#2) After that we drove past garths house and then to the orchard to meet Jorge. But he wasnt there so i asked Luis if he wanted to go see my dads grave. He said yes but first we have to stop by and get some flowers, and he paid for them! Gosh he is such a sweet boy. and he was a little upset when i showed him Grandpa Jess' and Uncle Buds grave too. He said i should have told him so he could have brought more flowers. After that we went past the house i used to live in and then we desided to go find Jorge at the other orchard. here comes the funny part. we  found Jorge collecting the Latters to take them back to the Shell Place. and Luis finally got to meet Jorge.

heres how it went. they talked to eachother in spanish for a little bit and the convorsation ended with Jorge telling Luis that i am practically his daughter, my dad and him were really good friends and if he ever left me Jorge said that he would come find Luis.... haha we laughed all the way home because Luis kept saying how paranoid he was now! before we left cashmere i was hungry so, again to the taco truck(#3)!! and he really liked cashmere, everything, the weather, Jorge, the orchard. he kept saying "its just like mexico" needless to say he fell in love with it too:) and with Jorge. and of course when we got back to Ellensburg he was hungry... any guesses where we went? Taco Truck(#4)!!!! so we had a great time together and next time we get to be together will probably be the week of our 1 year anniversery, which is 10-22-09 so its about three weeks away. 

oh and by the way the numbers are counting how many times we went to the taco truck on saturday only. we went again on Sunday:) i could eat there every day:)

well that was my weekend in a nut shell:) 

PEACE&LOVE

Lots to do?

Today i had my first lab for geology. we learned conversions on a map and how to read longitude and lattitude. The instructer let us out an hour early(its a two hour class) and so i got to go get breakfast and coffee before geology:) which makes me happy:) and my geology teacher is still my favorite teacher. we took a quiz today and i only might have missed one! i dont remember what my answer was because i couldnt deside between two answers. but he told us the answers after we were finished and i might have gotten them all right!!! too bad i cant say that about my AIS quiz we took last monday... speaking of AIS. last week they gave us two chapters and two articles to read off line. we all started complaining and thought it was so much... and this week? three times as much!!! holy crap! i have to read chapters 2&3 out of Indian Givers, 2, 3, &14 out of the stupid Archaeology book, and a 28 page article off line... ive already read chapter 2 of indian givers and half the article off line...  this class isnt gonna go well i can already tell. the good part about that class though is today we watched a video of a storyteller and she told some storries that the Navajo Natives tell their kids to teach them lessons. it was so amazing!!! while she talked she used hand signals for all the animals and half the other words... i started crying a few times. and we didnt even finish it today so we get to watch more on monday! i really cant wait! well i better get back to reading! just needed a little break.

PEACE&LOVE
