squirrel

the squirrel that used to live in our wall is back.
ew. ew. ewwww.
it grosses me out to hear something wandering around in there. scratching. and clawing.
eeewwwww.

this one has been in there much longer.
at least since yesterday.
i may have to let the landlord know about it.

sooo grossss.

----
any suggestions on ridding the squirrel or other creature that is hiding in the wall would be great. we have searched for a way in... and can't find it. must be under the house.
and im sure as heck not crawling under there.
OR letting my husband.
he would probably get eaten by something.

eewwwwewwww.

breakfast...

this morning i woke up to the smell of bacon.
after questioning whether i was dreaming- or it was real-
i headed downstairs.

it was real.

jesse p, jase c, and ryan were making breakfast.
and by breakfast i mean
cheese eggs, pancakes AND waffles, bacon, blueberries and more

it. was. amazing.

-----

i may not have mentioned the boys headed up here on thursday and are staying until tuesday!!? (maybe longer) it is fabulous having friends here. staying up late. hanging out. and being together. i LOVEEEE it.

love & peace

yes. a real 100.
first one in my class!
(well on a first take. we can retake our quizzes. they are different each time... but still)

did one load of laundry.

did a lot of window shopping.

and bought a new shower curtain.

homework

it made me scream.

almost cry.

and yell at my very sweet husband.

who did a great job of trying to calm me down.

i might be developing anger issues

due to this school project nonsense.

the problem is not school.

or doing the work.

the problem comes when trying to use a program NOT designed for the mac

on the mac

wayyyy tooooo complicated- confusing- and annoying

it was rough day.

luckily im going to bed and starting over tomorrow.

peace

we have lost a few friends.

and it has led us to here.

tonight we will spend hours watching.
crying.
sweating through stressful intense times.

its a very bittersweet goodbye.

so long my friends.

i will cherish our times together... forever.

this man

is my hero.
....

as you may know- i left my hubby for a 5 day trip.
today i came home to my sweet hubby- who did so much for me while i was gone.

to start with- he brought me a treat to the airport.
brownie/cheescake delicious-ness.
lil brownie (like muffin size) with a cheesecake on top & in the middle.
AMAAZZZINNG.
and yes. he baked them from scratch.

then i come home to my laundry ALL DONE.
and folded.

new sheets on the well made- perfectly made bed.

a perfectly clean house.
with new yummy smelling candles and all.

and now he is cooking me a wonderful dinner!
sun dried tomatoes in a white pasta sauce with sausage
mmmmm

he is wonderful.
so wonderful.
i am married to the most amazing man in the world.
God has blessed me with an incredible man.
i am so so so grateful for him.

love & peace

it was pretty fun.
lots and lots and lots of talking.
story telling.
chatting away the 8 hour drive.
it FLEW by... which was good.

anyway. im at home now with the parentals & the bros...
36 hours of home time.
im excited.
but right now im tired. exhausted really.
and ready to sleeeeep.

missing the best friend a lot... already.
leaving is the hardest part.
especially not knowing when our next time together will be!
anyway. off to bed.

i can't wait to see my sweet hubby in a just a few days!
i do miss him terribly.
ready to seeeee him!

well goodnight for now!

countdown...

in 24 hours... i SHOULD be with the bestie... in florida...
im STOKED.
so pumped.
like thrilled.

I. Cant. wait!

ps. still loving the hair. and still trying to figure out what to do with it!

prepare yourself...

my hair is GONE!!!

(i caved in. here are the after pics)

if you haven't... read the previous post first!!


-----------

ps. i did pantene beautiful lengths instead of 'locks of love' simply because pantene accepts your hair at the 8inch mark! whereas lol wants your pony to be 10 inches...
my pony was exactly EIGHT inches!!

this is what i did today...

8 INCHES!!!!!
off to pantene beautiful lengths to make a wig for cancer patients!

no pics of the end results yet.
sorry. ive got a few people to see in person first.
but i will say
I LOVE IT!
i sat with my back to the mirror the ENTIRE time-
so it was totalllly non-stressful.
i figured if i didn't see what was going on- i wouldn't care until it was over.

(this is before the magic.... and yes. this is the girl that cut my hair. i loved her. she was fabulous. i want to be friends with her in real life. but figured thats probably weird.)

if you live in durham... kelsey at the posh salon... FABULOUS.
that place is awesome.
meredith (my sidekick who went with) and i were given glasses of wine to drink.
it was so relaxing.
a great environment.
mmmm.
i WILL be returning!

ok. ill post pics of the "after" makeover... after this weekend.

anyway... today was a FABULOUS day off.
:) 2 days of work before florida! and HOME!!

cinco de mayo

its my favorite day of the year!

.... ok not really.
but i do LOVE mexican food!

after lots of convincing.... me & the hubs enjoyed a very mexican lunch!
super delicious.

i then came home and took a siesta!

yeaaaaaa. it was awesome awesome.

i finally got up and going---
i have done all my classwork for the week!
now doing crummy homework.
the chi-square test... not something thats fun.
and the hw problems are just obnoxious.
these problems take of PAGES of paper... EACH. its ridiculous.
the WORST part is... during the class the teacher is says... "you dont reallllly need to know how to do this- because every computer program you use in real life does this for you. i just want you to know how. just so you can understand the problem."
ok. i get your point.
but seriously... im wasting loads of paper.
and time.
when i could just be plugging numbers into a stats software program.
oh well. the good news is ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF CLASS!!
craazy. that flewww by.
then i have a test- a major project that we have 3 weeks to complete. then the final. then im DONE WITH STATS!!
for approximately a few months. ill be taking it AGAIN next spring at duke.
lovely.

oh well.
in other news....

only 3 more episodes of lost.
2 shows.
then the TWO & A HALF HOUR FINALE.

last night i cried.... during the show... i dont think you can understand unless you've seen it.
but lost... is like a part of me. i started watching it wayyyy back when it started on ABC... and watched it all through college. some of the best nights of college were lost nights!

and now. its all ending.
the finale is called "the end"
that alone is so sad.

anyway... its over. just a few more episodes.
and i can't believe it.
:(

oh well... bout to grab some cereal for dinner.
then ichat party with the bffffff.

dude... one week until im at sara's!
oh my. talk about 2 excited gals!! woooo!! :)

adios for now!
feliz cinco de mayO!

-----
ry & i spent a little time at macy's and we loaded up on kitchen goods!
i LOVE everything we got. all useful things that we wanted!
we got TONS and it was all.... FREE!
(that part simply because we still have gift cards leftover from the wedding)
-----
hmm. i do believe thats about it.
