the essence

I've been cleaning the apartment this morning!!! :):):) It looks a LOT better. I threw away our christmas tree too. I found the old newsletter that said what to do with it so I took care of it. Ray's been out with Conrad working on property & hopuse stuff since around 8:30 this morning so I think he'll be pretty surprised when he gets home & sees this place. :) There's still little things to do & my BIG task is to clean out my closet. It's absolutely trashed. That's not any lie either, it looks pretty bad. I've started to just throw stuff in there because there's no point in trying to find a nice place to put it.

I know there was stuff that I've been wanting to say but I tend to forget about it when I'm on here writing. Our hard drive is crashing so we'll have to get a new one soon. We've already backed up what we need to though.

Oh! I didn't get that last class that I needed. But, the nice thing is that it was right between my other two classes that I have on Tuesday/Thursday mornings. My first class those days is Statistics but the guy who teaches my class teaches it three times in the morning on those days & he said we can go to any of the classes that we want to. Sooo, I'm thinking that I might wait to go in at 9:30 instead of 8. That will give me time in the morning to get stuff done & work out or something. :) I'm happy about that. :)

Last night Ray & I went out together & it was REALLY nice. We met at the Olive Garden & thoroughly enjoyed the breadsticks with alfredo sauce & we finished everything off with the black tie mouse cake. YUM! :) Then we went to Best Buy & he got "Signs" & "The Sixth Sense" because they were on sale for a special deal...only $25. Megan got him a $15 gift certificate for there for Christmas which made it even better (thank you Megan!). :) Olive Garden didn't cost us anything either because Ray's Uncle Steve got us a gift certificate for there for Christmas. Next, we went to the movies (courtesy of a Christmas present from one of Ray's aunts) & we went & saw "The Lord of the Rings: TTT". I really liked it, I thought it was definietely better than the first one. I was exhausted this time too & I even dozed off a bit during the boring part with I think something about Liv Tyler leaving (like I said I was dozing I don't really remember that part too well). I didn't miss too much though, I just wish there was someway they didn't have to be so long. Maybe they could've made 6 hour & a half movies instead 3 3 hour movies, right? Okay, maybe not. But I still really liked this. As we were leaving the theater some guy & girl were walking past me & I heard him tell her "Let's go my precious". I thought it was funny.

Anyway, back to cleaning & stuff.

BTW-Mom, thanks again SO much for cutting my hair, I'm still receiving compliments on it! :) Oh, & I've been seeing the commercial on t.v. for "Bubble Guy" protecting himself from harmful smoke toxins & I decided that you can be "Bubble Girl". :)
