So, there's a few things to speak of.
1st - I'm now 29 weeks along, almost 30! I'm the 3rd trimester.
2nd - I'm having 2 baby showers, Toledo (his side of the family) and Michigan (my side of the family).
3rd - I'm getting upto 3 days off a week at work til March!!!! *BAD* Business is slowing down because of the holidays and not many people are traveling as much. This time of year SUCKS for when you work at a hotel. : /
4th - Semi-good news, my work doesnt offer maternity leave pay, so I checked in with my insurance that I get through them, and The Trans DI offers under "Sickness" pay for pregnancies as well :) And according to the pay roll worker, ill get up to 60-70% of my pay when I go for my leave, which is 6 weeks long.
5th - It's also that time of year to start up Christmas Shopping, oh joy! My favorite thing but its hard when not making much money.
Ok, well that's it for the time being. Nothing else to say really. Toodles! <3

Today was my First day at my new job, working at the Hilton Garden Inn, it was easy but hot! everyone is nice and we all work as a team. Its nice getting to know new people for sure!
All we really did was work on Floors 7 and 4 vacuuming and dusting off counters, tables, desk and etc. It was simple as can be! We only get like 30 min for lunch but today we got an hour lunch and put out time chart for lunch 30 mins, so thats more money! lol.
I work with my sister, a friend and my boyfriend. Its cool! i'm just glad I know people there. It makes things a bit easier for me.
**And last night Nick finally took me out for my surprise night with him, we went to this resturant that i've been litterally dying to go to since I found out about it, Elephant Bar! Its all jungle theme inside! wow! I was SOOOO happy! Ten went go carting afterwards! Woo!
Ok, well thats all I had to say! Toodles...for now!

Hey! So im officially a Toledo-ian person now, as of yesterday! But im just in sooooooo much pain now, im sore all over my right side, especially my right side of my neck.
I had 2 friends help, my friend danny was driving my sister's finace's car while he drove the U-Haul. It was pretty fun. My friend David also came along, he was in the back seat.
It took what seemed like forever to pack. I had sooooo much stuff, you wouldn't believe it! And a lot of it was kinda not so meaningful but i took it anyways. There's just somethings that I cant let go of....well not anytime soon, though half the stuff i've had was in my life for like maybe 10 years+.
Well, anyways. yeah the move was alright though i had just too much shit! Everyone complained constantly about what I had packed away or saw me packing. I just took up too much space.
my friends were very helpful. That was nice of them! We were al lexhausted after un-packing everything, ugh. i'm very much relieved that im IN OHIO now! But I left behind all my friends :(
I hope they dont start forgetting about me or anything. I'd be so sad, though I am as it is already anyways. Some of the few people I wanted to see the MOST put absolutely NO EFFORT in trying to see me what so ever!
And yeah that hurt! but oh well, thats their problem. Well, im closer to my boyfriend now. He lives maybe 3 miles away. I hope to see him more since I moved my ass down here for him, well thats part of the reason.
Ok, I dont know what else to say....I dont have my apartment yet, I think i have to wait like 2 - 4 weeks. So right now im crashing at my sister's placewith my mom. Oh Fun! Well, i'll be going. bye bye.

Happy Birthday To Me |
] |
So, my birthday was well I guess you can yesterday now. I went out with 4 friends to dinner and the movies afterwards. Thedinner was fun and really nice. I saw my old teacher there, unexpectedly, she came to my table and stopped to say HI. I was so glad to see her, that made my day. Sadly, she's been sick for a few years with Cancer and not too long ago I found it came back :( I was still happy to see her anyways. She's made it through this far. I believe she can get through this!
Well, we saw Jumper, it was pretty good to me! I had lots of fun. It was happy times! I love being around my friends! And one of my friends, Jared I dont see very much so it was especially fun to see him. Overall, my birthday was fine, fun, happy and rememberable!
It was WAY better thjan my 21st birthday. I mean i did jack shit! It was a real bummer...and 21st are one of the most special ones! Oh well.
And I get to celebrate again on saturday with my cousin IF the plans stick. Otherwise i'll be celebrating with my boyfriend, my twin and her boyfriend later on that night! :) YAY! Well, peace!

Scream - Michael Jackson feat. Janet Jackson |

I'm just soooo aggarvated right now, i'm feeling so pressured to do things that it's making not be able to think straight and getting to the point that I just NEED to breakdown or runaway to get away from this feeling. I cant take it anymore.
I've been told for YEARS to move out of my aunts and go live my life how I want so I dont feel trapped. Thats how I feel. Like im a little bug trapped under a cup and can only go so far before ending up back where I DON'T want to be anymore. Its tough to just leave my aunt behind alongside my cousin Samantha. We've just recnently gotten closer since Jessica moved out the day after graduation. I miss her everyday since she left, what hurt the most was that she didn't even tell ME that she was gonna move out...the sister she lived with her ENTIRE life, itys like she just walked out of my life...well thats EXACTLY what she did. And we're not anywhere as close as we used to be because of it.
I mean theres times where jessica will bring up a past memory like at a concert and she'll forget that I was with her, its like she forgets that I go plalces with her, maybe because her freiends are there and since I gte ignored anyways its just that for an excuse. I tell her all the time I feel like she just erases me from her memory and forgets what we do together. I HATE that. she makes me feel like nothing. And she says i'm one of the only 2 people who she could TELL ANYTHING to but doesnt tell me shit! :( I'm her sister, I want to have those sister to sister talks. It'll just never happen. she wont tell me anything so why bother? all she'll do is just yell at me or change the subject or tell me to forget what she said, act like nothing was said and that we never had that conversation. Telling me to forget something she said is a sign of of trouble....of guilt.
Ok so to get to my point. I'm just feel really pressured to move out. I've had several friends tell me "move out" and i'm like "well, yeah I wish but i'm SCARED of my aunt." True...i'm scared to confront her...so i'm practically living in a "slave" type life.
I'm controlled and by that I mean I have to be home EVERY night because my Cousin Sam, cant be trusted alone. So that makes me MISERABLE! I cant spend the night at friends houses on week nights, I always have to be home sometime before 4am. Just so incase there's like a "fire" I can help Sam get out of the house....it's all about Samantha. Not me. I'm living a miserable unhappy life just for Sam's sake. I love her and all and my aunt too but I feel i'm being treated unfairly by knowing deep down I got to live my life MY way. but I cant get the courage to tell my aunt I got to get out of here. I'm also afraid of my winning title...as my aunt said since my birth, I was her favorite neice, because I came home from the hospital 2 weeks later on her birthday. We have this special bond, we finish eachother lines and think something and the other will say exactly what the other was thinking...
Also, I'm scared of life. I'm scared to get a job on my own, without help. All my life, i've had help getting my jobs, I never had to once look for one myself. When I was in school I Transisition Services find me jobs, the best outcome in that was everyone loved me at all the past jobs i've had. I'm good with responsibilities and doing as told and nothing further or jepordizing. I follow rules and take care of myself. I'm sure there's tons else to learn in life, and yeah i'm afraid to take those big steps and mistakes...but they help with getting on right track.
I've had a few opportunities to leave my aunts ywt i didnt because of my mom. I'd have to live there and there she doesnt have fodd all the time and there's rarely nothing to do. But I get along with her really well. I just dont want to move out and then know deep down I have freedom but what do I do, where do I start this new life? How? Maybe go to Ohio for a week and be happy not having to worry about coming up a certain time....because I wont be under the stress timer of "Ok, i'll eventually have to go back to my aunts and be slaved again" feeling.
What should I do? Go be with my sister and my boyfriend in Ohio where I'm FREE, happy and can start a new life or keep going back to my aunts where I get pressured by few family members yet many friends telling me to leave so I can do what I want, and yet have to worry every night about how I HAVE to go back for practically no reason. I dont think im needed there intentionally. I think maybe my aunts knows my weakness unlikes my sisters' and yet she tells me to do something I do it whether its fair to me or not. she knows I wont back out because i'm under her control litterally. I certainly dont have the courage to just get up and say "hey, I want to move out" just like that, im out!
Never happen, im too chicken, most of all i'm 21 and still have to ASK to do things....
I'm SOOOOOOO confused!!! :( Grrrrrrr

So, my boyfriend, my sister, her boyfriend and a new friend all came to visit my mom this past weekend and we couldnt go to Dave and Busters like planned b/c the new friend came along and he's only 17. whatever. So we ended up going to BD's Mongolian Grill, mmmm! I love that place! they cook the food for you on this huge fryier right in front of you. There's varies of food you can choose from.
My boyfriend bought a Hawaiian Volcano Maragarita and it was pretty friuty, yum. I'm an occasional drinker now. Not so good.
And we couldnt make up a choice ofwhat shot I wanted so the waitress picked it out for me and chose a Pineapple Upside Down cake shot! YUMMY! It was like the best ever! she couldn't have picked out anything better than that! Then laster on after we left we all went to Ride Aid on the cornor to my mom's place and got a variety 12 pack of Smirnoff Ice! Wow! I drank like 5 of the 12...during the entire weekend.
My weekend was pretty damn good. Woo Hoo!
Hopefully we go to Dave and Busters this weekend....since Nick wants to come down again, just ot see me. Suck that he lives in Ohio though!
I hate being away from him for 5-6 days at a time. whatever...i'm handling it all well. He laos went ot the mall and bought my clothes and an iPod armband for me....he REALLY didnt have to do that....I kept sayingit over and over but does he listen to me, No! lol
And oh yeah he got me phone...Verizon. SWEET! 700 minutes to share (350 each) and unlimited texts...right on! He's the greatest...

This Is My Now by Jordin Sparks |

Wow! I dont even know where to begin....I haven't been on here since MAY! WHOA! But I have a good excuse, haha...I forgot my password....and I know I should of had my password e-mailed to me A LOT sooner but for the last 2 months i've been trying to guess what it might of been.....but I never remembered it. I have NO CLUE what it was...my memory really is just that bad. not cool.
Well, my latest updates....I went out for Halloween as a Devil, yeah ok whatever.
ThanksGiving was alright. nothing too exciting...since the cable was not working in the livingroom I couldn't watch the annual parade with the family like usual....so i was running up and down the stairs, lol and then another CBS parade came out and it was like 3 hours long, and Jordin Sparks (the latest american idol '07) was perforoming. And it was great! :) And also Menudo (the newest members) all teens has performed as well, and I liked them so I joke around a lot saying I like "my noodles"....i know not funny or is it? I dunno.
Ok, now Christmas. GREAT! : ) my sister was in town christmas eve and spent the night at my moms and last minute I was able to spend the night there as well so that was really nice! I got a Video iPod the latest model, shirt wide ones...cute! and I got The Harry Potter 4 disc collection special aedition. ok-harry potter dvds and EACH movie in the set came with 2 disc-movie and a special features disc. I cant be more clear than that.
**And my sister got me a New HP Photosmart R742v camera!!! and im totally obsessed with it! i take it almost everywhere I go. I just LOVE it!
My LATEST OBSESSIONS are:
Harry Potter aka Daniel Radcliffe
Jordin Sparks
Criminal Minds (of course)
Lost (thanks to david) like i needed ANOTHER show to add to my list :P
iTunes, I now listen to my imported music EVERYDAY than listening to tthe radio or CD.
And Ellen DeGeneres show! week days at 10am
Other news: I recently started dating again, and his name is Nick and he lives in Ohio. My sister introduced him to me...over myspace...we started chatting and hit it off pretty fast. how he asked me out: he texted it to me...while I was talking to him on the phone...silly guy!
So now I'm Taken and lovin' it! He's amazing. VERY FUNNY! --- Which to me is super important, because no one can make or get me to laugh, I dont get jokes so dont even bother trying to tell one to me. I'll just sit there super confused..anyone who knows me can back me up on that.
Anyways, um...thats all to say for now. I'm so GLAD to be able to write on here again.
I've missed you all!!!

Whoa.....been over a month since I have written in here...well, I got a new show to add my TV list: Lost!
And I an thank my dear 'ol friend for that! :P Good show actually. but not my fave.
Ummm...had boyfriend in April, Shane. I loved him, he loved me...suprisingly..j/k.
We had to break up though when he told me last Thursday he was moving back to Tennesse :(
His mom got a promotion at her new job and she told him she's help him get new one if he moved there.
So my heart's broken b/c his mom coned him into moving back home...thats how I see it.
I REALLY miss him, so very badly. Cried over him for a week straight, I've never cried over a guy...not nearly this much in my whole lame life. Sadly, he told me he still loves but he left me behind...Hmmm that makes me wonder if anything he said was true : / It looked pretty damn easy for him to just take off and leave me behind....not signs at all of being upset.
but I cried for days...sometimes 4 times in just ONE day...emo girl.
ok...so yeah besides that i'm still slowly painfully getting over Shane (though really I don't WANT to)
Tomorrow is Memorial Day! Woo...I get to sleep in. oh joy *rolls eyes*
nothing else to say....uh buh bye for now.

It's Not Over by Daughtry |

I waited until after St. Patty's Day was over to drink it.
It was straight up vodka with a slight flavor of apple...at exactly 12:30am March 18, 2007.
Yeah, alcohol is now sold with flavors....very since recently.
My mom said it was a little more than a "shot" but it took me whole 9 minutes to drink it all, ugh it was intresting...better with the apple flavor though!
I can't even imagine what it taste with it just straight plain vodka. I don't think i'll EVER try that plain!
The best part was...for me, I didn't feel a thing...I mean my mom kept looking at me ever 10 mins and saying "nothing?"
and I kept on saying " no, I don't feel a thing...nothing!!!"
I don't know what i'm supposed to feel but whatever.
It was no affect on mt whatsoever! n.o.t.h.i.n.g. I think I'd have drink a lot more to feel something...i'm sure someone will agree with me on that one....

Had an interesting Valentine's day alright. I'm going to copy what Jeff wrote in his blog so I dont explain anything any different...
Gather round boys and girls and listen to a tale that can only be reamed up my ass from a being of another plane...
So I go out, buy some milk, cauliflower, baby carrots and a salad, thinking this will be fun, when on my way home, there was a news bulletin about a giant, carnivorous, Car eating flat bed trailer running rampant in the streets of Eastpointe.
Now I thought, "Wow that would really suck if I ran into that thing..." When all of a sudden, like a really shitty Allstate commercial there was a BAM! And as I looked to my left, I see this trailer barreling right at me, brandishing its teeth. After I squeal like a girl and shit myself, I hit the brakes and slide in the snow, so I gun it and pull a hard right. The trailer of DOOM smashed into the front left, I almost lost a light, but it's still dangling there, and as I turned it scrapped my ass bumper as if to say, "Take it bitch!"....
^-- That's all Jeff said about the accident ---- Yeah so that was a hightlight of our "we can be lonely together" V-day day! : / But as the night was slowly passing by it got better. had a nice pot roast dinner w/ salad and watched Criminal Minds together and cuddled, got all warm and cozy and all that shizdazzle. And the night ended with a Happy Ending! hehe! Went home at around 2am. Sure Hope everyone else had a good valentine's day. <3

hello LJ! So, I've noticed I don't do my day to day entries anymore. i'm trying to back away from writing sooo much but bythe time I do start writing something new I have way to much to say. I just like to give details on my life...no biggie!
So, lately there's been lots of fun going on. I'm dating now, after being single since Oct. 5th, 2006. I have to say getting back into the "dating" mode isn't all that bad! I went a few dates--Steve, Robert and now Jeff! Oh, I really like Jeff but we're not b/f/g/f or anything. After going to a party that my friend had I was intrested in this Steve guy, but I sent him the wrong signal by flirting with him, oops! Then I realized that Jeff was at the party so I started talking to him and now pretty much everyday that he work off, we hang out! :) And that got really fun! *giggles* But i'm really enjoying the Single life for now :oD
Went to Summerset Mall to have late lunch with Jason a couple times! That was fun especially yesterday (thursday the 8th). I was talking way too much and didn't have much time to eat and Jason took a whole 1 hour lunch break and I talked half way thru it all, wow, thats so NOT like me! seriously. for the people who actually know me, the real me would know thats a big step for me to just talk too much since i'm well known as the "shy" one! And i've also done something that I don't normally see myself doing but its not bad.
Flirting is just too fun to stop now.
I've spent the last 2 weeks hanging out with Jeff and I see that he's helping me break away from my shyness, its really actually working too...thats awesome. Its working slowly, one step at a time but hey i'm finally getting somewhere...so relieved. Also my 21st b-day is coming up in a few weeks! Hell yeah! I'm looking specifically for a "little black dress" to wear; I wanna be in the spotlight. lol!!!
Yeah we'll just see how that goes!

I just saw him for the last time Monday evening. I miss him already. It's ok, i'll live!
He's working with the computers, whatever its called.

Well, this new years totally sucked! I wish I had fun but I didn't. My friend andew and his g/f Lauren were over mainly the entire day but I just didnt like it as much as I thought.
Then they left, as it was rainging out they dedcided to come back so I was stuck with them all night!
I was happy that Andrew was there but b/c I know how much Andrew likes me, I dont understand why he's dating Lauren, I get this feeling he's likes her but is using her, I don't know! So at 11pm we started watching Dawn of the dead, that got really boring quickly. I wasn't up for anything really. Complaining about everything...I was just getting on everyone's nerves, thats not what I wanted to do but thats how it came out.
New Years 2006 was the BEST New Year of my life! I loved that new Year! If I could turn time back it'd definitly be to that night! :)
I really hope 2007 is better than last year! It has to be! I'm turning 21, but is gong suck ass b/c its the FIRST year ever having a birthday without celebrating w/ my sister! :(
So even that bums me out. I have not much to look forward to, and thats sad! I know i'm suppoded to live life to the fullest or whatever but i'm just not feeling it. :/
I'll try to make the best of this year goes as I wish.
