More things

My mama and I went to go see Kris Allen at the Riverfront when he was here. Have I mentioned how much I love "American Idol?" Chandle, Cody, and I would always watch it in Conway. Now one of our own won. Whoot! Yes, I am a dork, and I am well aware of it. ;)




Gertrude's little babies have flown the coop. Or the nest. Here they are, along with their dialogue:
-You go first.
-No, you go.
-Ok, we'll go at the same time.
-On the count of three?
-One, two...
-You didn't go!
-YOU didn't either.
-Ok, this time we'll go for sure.
-Liar.




We also went to the Kris Allen watch party in Conway (see aforementioned admission of dorkitude). Jeremy met a big version of Zoey. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Have a good weekend, all!

How I've Spent My Summer Vaca (week 1)

• I wake up every day to have coffee with my hubby
• Pilates, yo (I'm getting better, but I still kind of suck at it- you will never EVER see me do it cause it's pretty embarrassing). But I'm sore, and I like it.
• I have applied for THREE jobs (I will only be taking one): one at a day care and two at the library. I'm really hoping for a library job. How much fun would that be?
• Season finales on all my shows! Having an Idol watch party at my folks' casa. Complete with Skeezers. They heard that's the way to do it. Word.
• STRAIGHT A's. Booyakah. I am in disbelief. I turned in three papers over 20 pages at the end of the semester, which is why many of you have not heard a peep from me in a while. DONE and DONE. ThanktheLord.
• I may or not DVR "The O.C." every day. I have never seen seasons 3 and 4. So I had some catching up to do. Thank you, Soap Opera channel.
• Ummmm, maybe DVR-ing "Angel" every day too. I can neither confirm nor deny this rumor.
• READING for entertainment finally. Just finished the third Twilight (oh, yes indeed), and currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife for our book club. That's right, I said book club. Whatcha gonna say? We're awesome.
• Trying to plan a way to get up to Wisconsin to see my cousins this summer. There is talk of a cousin's reunion at a cabin on a lake there (ahhh, that sounds so nice). Workin' on it.
• 2 days till our 5 month anniversary. I recently realized that since we got married in December (month 12), it's really easy to figure out how long we've been hitched. January= 1 month, October= 10 months. It baffles the mind. ;) Have I mentioned I'm easily amused these days?
• Planning lunch dates and evenings with friends and family. I love being done with school.
• Zoey's staples are out. She is a much happier doggy now. Poor baby.
  
• Let's hang out, yes?
  

Updates from the Spanns

Sweet little Zoey Spann had a little incident a week ago. :( We took her and Pooty for an after work romp in the woods, and she came out of the woods with a big ol' gash on her shoulder. It was pretty deep and yucko, so we rushed her to the vet to get stitches. Long and very frustrating story short, this sweet lady had to endure FOUR (yes FOUR) re-stitches and anaesthesias. Don't get me started. Anyway, she now has 6 staples, and she's pretty ticked at us. And mad at the world because of this cone (they call it an Elizabethan collar, ha, get it?). Hopefully she'll get the staples out Monday and she can return to her normal bouncy self. It's pretty sad watching her run into things with that cone, and a little hilarious to see her chase Pooty with it (Pooty doesn't likey...). ;)


Gertrude and babies are doing quite well. She has endured some CRAZY storms in that nest. She's a champ.

Snoop Dogg was A.MA.ZING. I can't even tell you. We had such a good time. It was an excellent way to celebrate being done with school. I may or may not have dislocated my knee while there and had to miss work the next day because I couldn't walk, but you know what? TOTALLY worth it. He performed every song you can think of. Even his parts on Dre songs.
I was flowin' and goin' that night, you heard?

So I am OFFICIALLY OFFICIALLY done with school. No more school. No more papers. No more work (well until I get that summer job... anyone hiring?). And I got A's on my final ginormo papers. Booyakah. I mean, seriously. This semester truly almost killed me, but I have survived. AND I got my internship for next year all lined up. I will be working for Conway schools, which makes me really happy. Their school psych department is amazing, and I will get to do some really cool things. So hooray! Summer vaca 2009 has begun! And I went out with a bang. I can't believe it. WHOOOOT!

Tonight, my sister and I are taking our mama on a surprise trip for her birthday (which was yesterday- happy birthday, Ma!)! Speaking of birthdays, a very happy belated birthday to Chandleous and Kat! :)

My plans for the evening

Did I mention this?

Anyone who knew me back in the day is not at all surprised about it. I only know Snoop's parts by heart in the songs. This is going to be amazing. I shall report back. Don't be jealous.
