well, here i am. the day before i leave...actually, possibly the day i leave. i got home last night around 11:30 and my dad tells me he's thinking about leaving tonight and just staying over night and eh, i'm not too thrilled about that, but i guess we'll see.

last night rena and i went shopping. i bought 2 pairs of jeans (i went up a size, dammit..: ( ), a shirt and some sleepwear, mainly for the shorts. i also acquired another shirt, but i didn't buy it. i tried on this one peasant top last night and showed rena and she said she really liked it on me, but i didn't buy it cause the peasant top was $34.50 and the spaghetti strap shirt that goes underneath was $17.50, so roughly a $55 outfit. well, i was in the dressing room trying on jeans and when i got out rena was paying for stuff. she had picked out an outfit, but it was only $20 and when i walked up there, the cashier said her total was $77 and i kept asking her what she bought and she's all "i'll show you when we get to the car." turns out she bought me peasant top. i was and still am very shocked. because, i mean, that cost $55! i can't believe she spent that on me. that made it that much harder to say bye to her. though, i didn't get upset when i said bye, but it was still hard. let's see, i also bought merc and ong's wedding gift...i'm thinking i'd like to keep it for myself. ; ) after that, i went to rena's house and we talked there for over an hour and i said bye to her mom and stuff.

so, i leave in less than 24 hrs...and how packed am i? not very packed. ; ) today is gonna be a busy day, which is why i am on here at 10am. gotta finish packing, gotta go to walmart, gotta go to the insurance company to pick up a letter, hmm..monique is also coming over. i still have to say bye to her, which is going to be hard as well cause we've gotten really close i the past 1-2 years. oh yeah and i also have to visit my grandma. *sigh* i'm gonna go nuts i think. i'm so busy, i don't have time to think about that i'm leaving home or to be nervous. which is a good thing, cause if i start thinking about it, i start worrying and i want to get upset.

anyways, for those who care, i will not be back online until i get settled at school and get an ethernet card installed on my computer, so i'm not sure how long that will take. so i guess i will see ya later!

one last thing, happy birthday, brian!! *hugs*

i had a really good day yesterday. : ) i spent the whole day w/rena and monique. we went to the bridal shop, where monique and i got measured and rena had to pick out different bridesmaid's dresses, cause there was a problem w/the one she had picked out. anyways, they're really pretty. if rena can find a pic of it, then i'll try and post it on here. : ) after the bridal shop we went to lunch at
di cicco's (an italian place) where i had the angel hair pasta....it was very yummy. then we went to see austin powers 3. ya know, i heard that austin powers 3 wasn't as good as the 2nd and it was quite bad, well, whoever said that was smoking crack, cause that movie was freaking hilarious. i loved it. we almost didn't see it, but i'm glad we did. let's see, after the movie, we went to circuit city so i could by a little boombox and then we went to target. we headed home and we talked for a while at monique's house, then i took rena home and i talked to her and her mom for while. i didn't get home until like 12, but i had a fun day. it was great spending time w/them. : ) actually, they're both going w/me tomorrow to go clothes shopping, so that's gonna fun too.

tonight my mom and i packed a few boxes. tomorrow, i need to go through my room and decide what i am going to take. i can't take too much, cause we're not sure if we can fit everything in the car. actually, i'm packing things and putting them in 2 piles: need to go and what can wait to go. my dad said if i have more stuff, he can always come back down and bring me stuff on a weekend. it's weird, it still has not hit me that i am moving. and i'm not sure when it will.

ooooh, tonight, i composed my own ringtone for my cell phone. : ) it's so cool, certain buttons are certian notes and then you can choose the octaves, the duration of the note, rests, and if the note is natural or sharp. so my ringtone now is memory from the broadway show cats. there's a tid bit for some of you if ya didn't already know....i love cats. although, it sucks that they closed it, cause now i will never see it.

today was an eventful day. i did a lot of running around. i applied for some short term insurance, i went to k-mart and walmart and got some last minute school things, then this evening i washed the car. though, i'm not sure how clean it got exactly, since i was still washing it when there was no light in the sky. the people driving by were probably wondering why in the heck this girl was washing her car in the dark. *shrugs* i got a late start. but i also dusted it and vacuumed it. ; )

Hmm..oh yeah, I just entered a contest to meet and see 311 in concert...woohoo! 3rd place gets autographed 311 merchandise, so I'd be happy w/3rd place...; ) let's see if i am lucky.

tomorrow i am going to get measured for rena's bridesmaid dress. not that she has a dress picked out, but i need to give her my measurements before i go. i'm not too sure if i want to know my dress size...*sigh*. oh well...can't runaway from it. rena, monique and i are making a day of it tomorrow. which is cool, cause i dunno if i'll see either one after tomorrow. maybe monique, but probably not rena.

this was a pointless post, but oh well...i have nothing else to do. : )

music: 311 - amber (zack hexum remix)

well wouldn't ya know? i actually have quite a bit to talk about, so here goes...

yesterday evening i went to cingular wireless and i got my own cell phone. my parents decided that they didn't want to give me their's cause they wanted it for emergencies, which is a good idea. i, of course, am very excited. : ) I finally have my own cell phone...shit, if i'm this excited about having my own phone, imagine what i'd be like if i got my own car. anyways, this is the phone i got, except mine is grey and not blue. i only had to play $20 plus tax for a $120 phone, but i had to sign a 2-year agreement w/cingular, which is no biggie to me. so yeah, i am happy about my phone.

around 12:45pm today, i called my insurance company to find out the status of my insurance. well, i couldn't get a hold of the guy i talked to, so i left him a voice mail. after that, i checked the mail and i had a letter from nationwide insurance. i opened it right away and they "regretted to inform me that they could not accept my application for insurance coverage," and they sent the two checks back. i read this letter from the mail box to my front door and once i got inside, i broke down and cried. i move in a f*cking week and i have no insurance. the reason they could not accept my application is because of something on my medical records. now, i can't for the life of me figure out what is on my medical records that makes me such a health risk. there's a few things on there, but nothing i would think they'd reject me over. if i want to know, i have to write the insurance asking them to tell me what exactly my records say. shortly after i got the letter, my insurance guy called me back and informed me of some short-term plans that are relatively inexpensive that accepts credit cards and i should know within like 10 min. if i am accepted. so tomorrow, i am going to go down to the insurance office and see what plans he has to offer. if that happens to not work out, i will probably have to go w/the school's insurance, which would be okay, if they didn't need over $600 up front, so wish me luck...please.

i couldn't stay too upset this afternoon about the insurance cause my friend krystal was coming over so we could hang out before i left. she was only free today, so she came over and brought movies. she also brought keaton..he's so cute! he'll be 3 months this month...anyhoo, we watched bridget jones's diary. that is such an awesome movie. i absolutey loved it. i may have to own that one someday. ; )

well maybe it wasn't a whole lot, but more than i usually have to blog about...: )

music: george strait - carrying your love with me (yes it's country...)

*sigh*..i just had my whole blog typed out and i some how closed the window...so let me try this again...

i was feeling pretty upbeat tonight until i checked my e-mail. a guy wrote in to the 311 mailing list i am on and i found out that 311 played 3 new songs at the show in fresno last night...and guess who wasn't there? *raises hand* :'(. so yeah, now i am really bummed/pissed that i missed that show. the only reason i didn't go is because i figured that the $30 for a ticket could be better spent. and my parents tell me i have no will power. if that's not will power, i don't know what is. i'm sure there's some people who don't understand how i can like a musical act so much. truth is, i don't know why. i mean i do, but i don't. there's something in 311's music that strikes a chord in me...i can't explain it. *sigh* oh well...it's over and done w/now...i guess no need in worrying about it now.

i got some more things on friday that i needed...a desk lamp, fan, towels in alternating colors of sky blue and navy blue, and some odds and ends. i still have a few more things to get. i might be getting my own cell phone as well. i was just going to take my parent's phone, but they really don't want to be w/o one. i wouldn't mind having my own phone at all. anyways, i guess i'll see if that actually happens. 9 more days...*gulp*

music: weezer - say it ain't so

the past two evenings i have gone out and bought stuff that i need for school. last night i got some kitchen stuff and tonight i got more kitchen stuff including a frying pan, sauce pan, baking dish, 2 glasses, cookie sheet, silverware, big knife, and some measuring spoons. i also got a set of bathroom stuff w/ a soap dish, liquid soap dispenser, toilet brush and holder, tissue holder, wastebasket, toothbrush holder and a tumbler. so i got the bathroom stuff taken care off. : ) friday morning my mom and i are going to target and getting towels cause they're on sale and probably a desk lamp.

i spent sometime today going through some cookbooks and my mom's recipes and copying them down. i don't think i'll use many of them, but just in case i get a wild hair to cook something. : )

music: watching american idol

hmm...seem's merc is leaving for a while. i think it might be a little odd him not being around, but i do applaud him. if i could only take that kind of initiative and apply it to areas of my life.

this weekend was eventful. well eventful for my life anyways. on sat. we had another yard sale and we made $40 which is going to go towards buying some of the stuff i need before i go. so that is a good thing. i was also smart this time and i put on sun block, so no red face or neck for me this time. : )
while i was watching the nascar race today, monique called me to see if i wanted to go rent a movie, so i said sure. the nascar race was pissing me off anyways. so we went to blockbuster and we got american pie 2 because neither of us had seen it. i must say it wasn't too bad, but i think the first one was funnier.

this coming wed. will be 2 weeks until i move. i am slowly starting to wig out. i keep thinking, "oh, it's only the beginning of august. i have plenty of time," while my calendar says less than 3 weeks and i'm scared. this is going to be a new thing for me and new things can be scary, so that is how i am justifying how i am feeling. my feeling is not to be confused with not wanting this. i think this will be a great start to a new chapter and i am looking forward to it, i just hope it works out as well as i have it envisioned in my mind.
