It seemed like an eternity. I still don't have satellite service as my parent's seem to think that is the last thing we need to worry about. Therefore, I now watch 3 channels with rabbit ears and find myself constantly trying to rewind or pause it to no avail. On a brighter note, I got a new job as an aide in the Life Skills class that I love. Now I get to spend everyday with these wonderful kids that make me smile so hard it hurts. I'm also still working with the 9 year old special needs child a couple of evenings a week and still trying to go to school full time, so life has been VERY busy. I celebrated my 26th birthday yesterday. I'm terrified of hitting 30 and being in the position I am in (ie. single). So each year that goes by gets harder to celebrate. I did have a great day though. I got sang to about 5 times yesterday by different classes of kids, which I loved. My special ed kids shared a huge cookie cake with me, which was nice. Then I w... 2008-10-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=574784 I have been watching Ike coverage for 2 days straight now and this has to be the most entertaining: 2008-09-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=570599 I've got a few exciting things to blog about, finally. I got a new job as a caregiver for a 9 year old boy with Cerebral Palsy. It will be a great learning experience, but many of you know that I've worked w/ special needs kids in the past and they are so much fun to be around. I'm excited. Special thanks to Jessica Stevenson for the job :) I'm going to Nashville for the weekend with my new guy. We are going to meet up with a bunch of old friends from FC and beyond for the annual 'Nines' celebration on 09/09. I've never been to one of their shindigs, nor have I been to Nashville, so I'm REALLY excited. I have tried a couple of new restaurants lately, which was tough b/c I'm not a very adventurous diner. I had The Melting Pot last weekend, which was delicious, but SO expensive! Then I had Blue Nile Ethiopian food on Friday night. I was scared to try stuff, but once I did, it was SUPERB! I'm a bit of a chicken connoiseur and they had the BEST grilled chicken I've ever had. Everything w... 2008-09-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=558077 So, I attended my first Kleinwood Singing last night and it was INCREDIBLE! We didn't get there early enough and had to sit in the foyer, which I didn't like b/c I couldn't see the song leader or hear anyone singing, but after the break we squeezed in between some old people and the sound gave me goosebumps! It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. I definitely can't wait until next year. Here's a funny cat/engineer video that I "borrowed" from a new friend. Engineers are funny! 2008-08-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=555052 Does my little ticker (to the left) have any writing on it? It's supposed to say "days until the Olympics" but on my computer it says nothing. :( 2008-07-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=552374 I got this idea from Lara Chapman's page. Apparently, I look very Asian. Hmm..You learn something new everyday :) 2008-07-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=551287 I'm too brain-dead to think of something to write about, but I really needed to update, so tell me the funniest thing you've ever heard or seen. Thanks! 2008-07-16 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=543062 So, my LASIK went very well. I can see!! The first day was pretty rough, as I couldn't open my eyes all the way until that night, but after that it was great! I have a lot of dryness, but apparently that is normal. I have huge red bruises in both eyes making me look a bit "evil" but I think it adds a certain je ne sais quois to my look :) It is amazing to wake up in the morning and not have to reach for my glasses or go put in my contacts. I still reach for my glasses when I get out of the shower, out of habit. I will be leaving on Friday morning to drive up to my brother's house in Nebraska. This is the third and final summer I will be doing that, since he only has to stay there for one more year. I am looking forward to cramming in all of the things that we haven't done so far. We were going to drive to Minneapolis and go to the Mall of America, but with gas prices up so high, we decided against it. The areas that we are driving through and visiting are those that have bee... 2008-06-24 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=541257 Gerard Butler was named one of People's Hottest Bachelors this year!!! I'm so happy! He is totally gorgeous and that accent melts my heart. I'm glad that he's finally being recognized by People and people. By the way, I'm having LASIK in the morning, so if I don't post for a while it's because I've gone blind or something. 2008-06-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/brittybritt82?l=5&entryID=540073 Do any of you camp people that are "in the know" know when the applications for counselors for next year will be available? I really want to get mine in early this year, so I have a better chance of being chosen. I keep checking the website and it's still got the 2007 app. FRUSTRATING!! 2008-06-16
