Hello. Its Tuesday. So yesterday was a weird day. I did end up leaving work early. Deana let me go at 11! Wahoo. So that was cool. She bought Olivias Halloween costume...its SOOO adorable. Its a one piece doggy outfit tahts white with black spots on it. It has a hood that is the "ears" and it has a little tail attached...ahh its so cute. It also has a little puppy face on the chest that you push and it barks. Aw. I told Deana she needed to paint Livi a nose and spots on her face and they HAD to take pictures for me. :) WHen I left work I headed to the apartment! Mom & Sara were both there asleep...yea Sara laying out of school again...bad bad. SO I got on the computer for just a few minutes and then Sara & I made brownies. I got to lick the bowl (the best part!)...I'm such a big kid. THey turned out OK...but not awesome. Rachel called me and said that her friend Amanda who is another bridesmaid in her wedding and lives off the gulf in Alabama invited Rach & all her bridesmaid for a weekend at the gulf in March. So, I said I "might go" depending on where I'm living and how much money I have. Then, I watched "10 Things I Hate About You" and part of "Bring it On" and "Coyote Ugly" with mom & Sara while getting on & off the computer looking up more houses. We have an appt. w/Elaine to see one tonight..yay. FINALLY. Its out in Corryton off Tazewell Pike...Sara and I went and found out last night. Yea,so after Coyote Ugly went off Sara & I left and ate supper at BurgerKing where I tried their new spicy chicken sandwich which burnt my mouth off! It was SOOO spicy. Then we found that house and then dropped by Grannys for a moment so that I could change her trash and take it down to the dumpster for her. Then it was back to the apartment. I was going to just go home but Sara begged me to help her write her English essay which was supposed to be her analysis of an Emily Dickinson poem. She of course waited until the VERY last minute to do it. I helped her for an hour and got her started. We only got the outline, introductory paragraph, and first paragraph finished. So she had to write 5 paragraphs by herself. I was tired though, I HAD to leave. SO I went to Bob's and hit the bed around 10. Emily called me around 10:30 so I talked to her for about 20 minutes and then I went to sleep. Today after work Im supposed to meet mom & Sara & Elaine at that house to see it. I hope it's a WINNER. Even if I dont live there with them...I know mom needs a house and that this whole process of looking just adds more stress on top of her. OHH! It was so funny. This may not be very Christian to say this..but I cant help it I thought it was funny. Sara went off on Billy last night!!! Sara is the type who she dont hold back..she tells you straight up how she feels if shes mad. SHe BLUNTLY told him "I dont like you and I dont want you living here". HAHAHHA. Which he knows I feel that way too, but of course I never would have the guts or heart to say that to his face. But he tried to order Sara around just like he did me! He told her she needed to pick up her clothes that were all over the laundry room...which granted she does...but its not HIS place to tell her...and he has NO authority over her whatsoever even if he IS her elder. THEN he had the audacity to tell her that she needed to get her priorities straight!! I said "oh ok...I guess being almost 50 and your whole life you put drugs before God, your family, and anything else meaningful is having HIS priorities straight, right??? UGHHH. Anyways, it was funny though that Sara told him off. Mom of course defended him saying that Sara wsa being disrespectful to him..which of course she was...but mom didnt jump all over HIM when he disrespected both of HER daughters!!!! GR...Ok..sorry. Had to let that out! OH yea I MIGHT be going to First Baptist Powells judgement house tonight with Julie, Brittanie, possibly Sara, Kristen, and Kathy. I hope we get to go...none of them have ever been to one except for Sara. If not, I am definitely going tomorrow nigiht to the North Acres one with Marci & Stephanie. So, I go back to Texas in 24 days. I have been counting down for a long time and of course am still very glad I'm going but I'm not as excited as I was. I guess maybe b/c its getting so close that its starting to feel "not real"...or maybe b/c it actually feels like time has passed since I have been there and I have finally got my head out of the clouds and joined everyone else here in Knoxville lol. Or maybe b/c I havnt got to speak to Kristi as much lately as a constant reminder. Oh well- whatever the reason, I hope the excitement comes back...it was a fun feeling. Well..on that note...I'm gonna go! BYE BYE~
