Chance
Says the darndest things. He set numerous amounts of traps today for me to fall into, I suppose this is because I often do the same to him, but I take my traps very seriously. I think i've learned my lesson after I had to tell Chance that he in fact was not fat, ugly, nor does he have bad skin. I pledge to not set traps anymore... for now; until I need a compliment.

"Do The Right Thing" ; a small rant by me
WARNING: feelings may be at risk by reading this rant.
I'm really sick of being told to do the right thing. As far as i'm concerned I am doing the RIGHT thing. I am a full time student, I have a stable job, and i'm trying to make a better life for myself. For people who don't seem to understand the realness of time, let me break it down. A full time student means Im taking 4 classes, which for me means school 5 days a week, plus 2 hours of homework for every hour that im in class. Second I work 32 hours a week 3-1130pm, which means on some days I either go straight to work or home for an hour to do homework and then to work. I work every other weekend and on my weekend off I do enjoy doing things for myself which obviously makes me a criminal. On top of work and school it is well known that we are moving 4 hours away june first. We are consumed with packing and organizing in our free time. I'm not trying to say my life is busier than anyone else's I am just saying I do not have the luxury to set aside an hour a day and call everyone I know to tell them how busy I am, that just isnt available to me. So in conclusion, forgive me if I do not call you, respond to texts, and emails every day. I dont know what else anyone wants, you cant take blood from a stone.
sorry that rant was not so small, and sorry to depress anyone.
thank you.

beautiful
Beautiful day today. Chancey came home early enough from work so we got to spend some time together, which again is rare for us because of our ridiculous schedules. We had an early dinner, I made "semi-homemade" stuffed crust pizza. half hawiian half turkey peperoni, hawiian is Chances favorite and I really hate pineapple, so we got the best of both worlds tonight. We have less than two months until we move, we're so excited, and Im a little nervous because Ive never lived more than 30 mins away from anyone in my family, and now we'll be living for hours away from my family. Its a new chapter though, and I cant wait, I cant wait to start my actual nursing classes. Everything we're doing is going to make our life better. I cant wait for the summer weather at my new house =)

Why do I always cram?
I always tell myself that I will allow at least for days to study for an exam, but I always let it come down to the wire, the day before, and the day of. Why do I do this? I think because the material is usually intimidating and overwhelming. Thankfully, it rained today; I skipped my history class( which im not happy about) and stayed in bed all morning and studied. Im not done yet but I studied for 4 hours with no break, so im taking one now. I have work at 3 today and I wont be home until midnight.. so its going to be a late one. ughh.

weekend recap
Saturday: we babysat my sister Kaci so my parents could go to the Bruins game. Kaci was in a fab mood and so lovey which I LOVE :) she gave a million kisses and wanted to snuggle which is rare for her and she gave Chance a kiss on the cheek, she just melts my heart. We call our grandmother Hunny; so hunny and I took kaci on the swings and the slide and she had a ball. After all the excitement I had to work 3-1130.
Sunday: chance and I went to the paul revere capture site in concord, went for a walk there and checked everything out. We concluded that the Boston area has great history but is in the shadow of the rediculous amount of people and the rediculous amount of industry. We also concluded that the Boston area has the best food we have had anywhere, a lot of authentic cusine. We will for sure miss the amazing food that the Boston are has offered us when we move; no more chinese take out where we're headed to :/. We discussed getting a dog and learning to train it because I hate being home alone because Chance goes to work soo early in the morning.
When we got home from concord I made a home made sauce, meatballs, and garlic bread; recipe to follow. All in all it was a great weekend :)

great day
So I drove all the way to school to find out my one class was canceled. But no big deal, I went food shopping just to find out it must have been take your grandparents shopping today.I don't mind food shopping at all I just hate when it is so crowded, who would think on a friday afternoon it would be so busy. Anyway I got some great things at decent prices although the cost of food is going up so quickly. I'm roasting a chicken now because I won't be home tonight to cook dinner and I just wanted to make sure chance doesn't have to eat hot pockets tonight. I love the shift I work and my co workers but I feel bad when I can't be around for chance because we work strange hours; and to boot its my weekend on, oh well we need the money because the big move is coming up. :)

Productivity!
Today, so far, has been very productive, I woke up with Chance bright and early, got some studying done, put another coat of paint on our project, and now I will work on some more school stuff, and attempt to clean our room.
oh! our project is a hope chest that was given to us to bring to our new place. We decided to repaint it and make it a little fancy. Once it is done I will post pictures of the finished master peice! =)
