Age

Sometimes I forget that people don't realize how old I really am. Don't get me wrong I am reminded by someone almost every single day. I get the whole spill about "You are really 25? You don't look it. I thought you were (and then they say some age usually in the teens). Well you will appreciate it when you are older and look like you are in your twenties" It is flattering but hearing so often can get a little annoying. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate it but when you are in your twenties and dating it doesn't help much that guys think you are a teenager. So anyways, I was at Walmart today and bought Twilight: New Moon on DVD and the cashier asked if I had seen it. I said "Oh yeah I went with my sister, brother and a friend of ours to the midnight premiere. Won't do that again. We all decided that we are too old to go to midnight premieres." which at that point she gave me a look and a huh in response. It wasn't until I was walking to my car that I realized that she probably thought "why did that teenage girl think she was too old to go to a midnight premiere of a movie?" and had to kind of laugh to myself about it.Also realized I will probably never wait in line for a midnight release for a movie or a book ever again. Another experience I had at a Walmart on Friday after work. Went there to buy a duffel bag and something to spice up the chicken I was going to make for dinner the next night while staying at my sisters house. What a nightmare that was. Huge line that went from the jewelry counter and all the way back wrapping around to over by the baby supplies. Got it today no problem and no huge line to wait in just to get it.

DVD's

Don't you hate when you are trying to watch a movie and it keeps freezing on you at a certain point? That is what just happened to me. I was trying to watch the last episode on the first disc of my Bones Season 1 collection and it keeps freezing on me. Maybe my computer just doesn't like it or maybe the disc is screwed up? I don't know. I am going to try and watch it in the DVD player tomorrow. If it still doesn't work then I will be very upset because I let someone borrow it and I haven't been able to watch myself. So I know I didn't screw it up. I hope that isn't the case. I hope it is just my computer not liking it. Anyway, had to vent somehow without freaking the dogs out. So I decided to write about it.

My first post

This is my first posting. I have only done the blog thing one other time and it was for an English class assignment and all I did was post some writing assignments I did for the class and also some of my former papers, so I really don't have much experience in the way of blogging. So here I go, I am a 25 year old woman going to school to become a Child-life specialist. I have an associates of science degree and am now taking classes in the field of child-life specialty. My family consists of my mom (Colleen or Coco), my step-dad (Ted or Papa), my oldest sister (Crystal), her husband (Brandon), my niece and nephew (Brandon and Crystal's kids)(Zac and Chelsea), my baby brother (even though most people think he is older than me) (Rodger or James or Jaja, I will most likely call him Jaja), my oldest step-sister (Randi), her husband (Joe), and my niece and nephew (Joe and Randi's kids)(Lydia and Aedyn), and my youngest step-sister (Melody or as I like to call her DeeDee) and my nephew (DeeDee's son)(Gabriel) and not to forget my cat (Patches) and Brandon and Crystal's dogs Bridget and Zelda(also known as Deedaw). The last two nights I have been staying at my sister's house babysitting her two dogs while she is in Vegas for her 5 year anniversary. Congrats to you by the way. I don't know if I say it enough but I am glad you are my sister and appreciate everything you have done for me in the past. I love you. I am very grateful for my entire family if I didn't have you guys I don't know what I would do. I was reading my mom's blog and reading an old post that I hadn't read and it had me crying so hard Bridget and Zelda (the girls) were frantic. She had written that it has been ten years since the passing of my dad and her memory of that night. Just typing that has me near tears again. I really do miss him and I know he is here with me in spirit. I know it sounds strange but every once in a while I can smell his aftershave when no one else is around. Anyways, it is probably time for me to get some sleep so I will end this post.
