I have to admit I was a little sad/angry when I opened up an iDog puppy thing from my dad... and he laughed and said, "Don't throw it at me!" But at the same time I was kind of expecting it.
And then later, I opened up a box that had a picture of a Golden Retriever in it and was again a bit upset. Two jokes in one day...
But then my parents said that they couldn't get me a puppy before Christmas, and they knew I wanted to pick it out myself anyway. So later this week I'm getting a puppy!!!
I was hoping that they would let me get one ever since I pitched the idea to them, but I had my doubts. Lucky for me I made some very good points when I first told them why now would be the best time for me to get one. And they bought it. :-D I love my family.
So tomorrow my dad and I are venturing to the SPCA to look for little Chester. I'm not sure if it will be a boy or a girl, and I'm also not sure of what breed, but I DO know that it will be 2-3 months and will turn into a large dog when it's fully grown. :)
Merry Christmas to meeee! |

So, the concert was AMAZING! Everything about Wednesday was just awesome... it was by far my best Hanson experience. Ever.
When Lindsay and I first got to the venue, we were the last ones allowed into the parking lot right near there (and I only paid 5 bucks... they later changed it to $8 haha) aaaaand as I was parking, I noticed that I was RIGHT behind the tour buses, and that Taylor was standing outside them right in front of me. So, I was freaking out and trying to not crash. It was awesome. But by the time I got out of the car he was gone. No worries though.
Linds and I waited outside the buses for a little while to see if any of them would come back out. There were already about 20 girls out there. I got a few pictures when they walked into the venue but they didn't stop for autographs or anything. No worries.
The walk started at 3:30. Hanson has been doing a 1 mile walk before each show. And they've been going barefoot. It's supposed to get people to buy a pair of Toms Shoes, because every pair that someone buys, another pair will be sent to a kid in Africa or Ethiopia or somewhere like that where they are shoeless (but don't get me started on the fact that kids are shoeless HERE).
Anyway, during the walk, the guys did not have body guards or anything around them... just the fans. At various points during it I was right next to, in front of, or behind Isaac and Taylor. I got awesome pictures, even though I didn't get a chance to talk to them. <3
So when we got back we got our hands stamped, which meant that we got to jump the line for the show (since it was some special thing to do the walk and whatnot). I got more pics while the guys were outside the venue selling shoes. Then they went in and Linds and I went to eat.
We only had to wait in line for about 2 hours after that (and Linds and I cut more people than we were supposed to... hahahaha we win!) and instead of going onto the floor with the throng of crazies, we went upstairs to the 21+ section. It was the best decision I could have made-- there were stools right in front of the railing, so we not only had a place to sit down, but we had a perfect view of the stage. And we got to drink. It couldn't have been better.
The show was amazing, but the band always plays well live. Even Lindsay had a great time, which I was happy about. After the show we went out to my car, but I knew I wouldn't be able to leave until the 50-100 girls left the bus area. So Linds slept in the car while I waited with the chickies to hopefully get an autograph... WHICH I DID! Muahaha! I got all three of them to sign my booklet for the Walk CD. I also got some nice pictures, which is always a plus. I was going to ask Taylor for a hug, but decided against it since it would have been too difficult to get to him given the spot I was in. But I gotmy first autograph from them ever, and then I got in my car and left.
I got a little lost in Philly, but we made it back to KU at 2:30. All in all, it was just amazing.

I FINALLY have my shit all packed up (minus my laptop and clothes/other things I need for tomorrow.) Now the next step is getting it all into the mini van (and there's A LOT) and then unpacking it tomorrow morning. I can't wait. I've been looking forward to coming back to KU since May when I came home. :)
Aaaaaaaand tomorrow also happens to be Thirsty Thursday, so the roomies and I will probably (hopefully) be going to the bar and getting hammered. :-D I love college. This summer BLEW and I barely had a chance to do anything fun. And now it's my last year and I know I need to make it a good one. :) I have high hopes. |

I feel like this summer has lasted forever... but that's probably because I've been wanting to go back to school since it started.
I have work tonight, and I get paid :-D Then next week is my last week at Superior. I'm hoping forever, but sometimes things happen. This Saturday my dad and I are venturing to New Jersey to tailgate and go to the Brad Paisley concert.. 8th row seats.. I can't freaking wait. I'm gonna get awesome pictures :) And if I'm lucky one of the performers will throw a little something my way. There's always hope.
So vacation is winding down.. After my week of work I plan on going back up to the farm. I love it up there, and I never want to leave when I do visit. This time my aunt and I will be getting our tattoos. Mom and dad aren't thrilled, but I don't give a shit what they say. This has been planned for a year now, so they can deal with it. It's not like I'm still in high school.
School starts in about 20 days... 20. The countdown has been going on since May, and it's finally only a few weeks away. Once work ends, I have a life again. Once school starts, I have a REAL life again. :) This is my last year of "freedom", so I need to do it up right. |

Ok, so all I need to do is get through this week at work (and possible jury duty on Wednesday... bastards...) and then Friday I get to leave at 4am before going to Canada for the weekend. :) I can't wait. I need a good weekend to just let loose and get smashed.
Then I come back Sunday, work Monday and Tuesday, then it's another half day on Wednesday before going to upstate NY for the rest of the week.
After all that it's practically August and that means I only have a couple of weeks left of this hell before going back home. To KU <3
I hope the days I work all go by fast. |

So I've been working almost every day since I started at Superior. It sucks ass, but I really need the money. Fortunately, my first day off in a while will be Friday night, alllllll because of my bro's grad party. But that's okay cuz I really need a break. Plus Lindsay is visiting, and I can't freakin WAIT!
Another reason I've been working weekends is because I have nothing else to do, so I figured I might as well work instead of sit on my ass all day doing nothing. So basically, I need to start planning more things to do with my free time. It sucks not being at school because I can't walk around outside for 5 or 10 minutes to go visit someone. Dear August, get here soon. <3
But I guess the real reason I felt compelled to write is because of what happened yesterday. We went to my aunt's house for my great aunt's birthday, and she wanted to show us a video she found of her friend's surprise party. My older brother and I were in it, him being about 5 and me 2, so basically we were running around the place the entire time. <At one point, the camera shows my mom dancing with my mommom aunt and uncle, then you hear the crash of glass breaking and my mom running away... 1 minute later you see my older brother running in the opposite direction.. it was pretty amusing.)
The hardest thing to see though was my grandfather on my mom's side. He died when I was in 7th grade... none of us grandkids were allowed to say "goodbye" to him because our parents didn't want us in the hospital when he went. To this day, I still think that was the most selfish thing my parents have ever done to us.
Anyway, the camera was on him quite a few times, and everytime he came on my mom or my aunt had to point him out.. as if we didn't know he was there already. When Frank Sinatra was playing on the vid, they had to point that out, too. Probably the best (and hardest) thing to see was when my grandmother (who hates Frankie) made my poppop go dance with her during a Sinatra song. That's something I want to keep in my head for a while...
It just sucks that all I have are memories that fade more and more everyday... or tapes of things from when I was too young to remember they ever happened at all... |
