What to do....???

My boyfriends birthday is in exactly 5 days, and im broke. The good thing about him is that he could care less about money, he is the most selfless person in the world. He only wants to be with his family and of course me for his birthday, which is nice but i feel that i should give him something. I really wanted to surprise him with something to do with his favorite team the Texas Longhorns, however that is expensive. Any ideas?

Little brother...

On Saturday i decided to pick up my little brother like i usually do on weekends. This weekend my mom was in a bad mood, so took picked him up and we went shopping. I talked to him about "mommy being in a bad mood", he understood why. Then we went everywhere from Pollo Tropical to Walmart, and then to Kohls. I love as he gets older his perspective is getting so in depth; He is really understanding peoples personalities. I love how smart he is too, he handles things in a calmer approach just like my stepdad. He also is very outgoing, which is from my mom and of course his comedic attribute is all me. He knows when to take responsibility already! And he is very lovable, he is not afraid to tell his big sister he loves her. I think he is the coolest thing ever, i just cant believe how big and smart is getting. 

This weekend!

The other day i got a text from one of my best friend named Erica, she is in the Air force. She text me saying that she is coming into town for this coming weekend, only for three days. I was so happy when i got it! I have not seen her in 3-4 months. Since she is coming it is only right to throw a HUGE party to celebrate her =) It also just so happens to be my best friend Monique's birthday Saturday, so that means its double the fun! Im really excited, the only problem is that my Boyfriend cant come, he is working; I am still pretty excited regardless, all of these friends are more like family. If everything goes as planned i should have an AWESOME WEEKEND!

Coolest Thing!

 I thought this was the coolest thing. I got on Facebook yesterday and i see an uploaded music video on my friends page; I looked close and realized the guy in the music video is someone i went to high school with! We graduated the same year and had mutual friends, we even took pictures at prom together. He is now a singer/song writer and blew up quick. I am pretty proud that i actually knew the guy and that he has furthered his career. My boyfriend and i were talking about it last night and we discussed how nice it was that he went for his dreams , and made it; It makes us feel like we can do anything.

pseudoephedrine

Yesterday my body was starting to get sick, yet again; It wasn't nearly as bad as last week , but i did see a few similar symptoms.  I decided to buy Aprodine with pseudoephedrine because it relieves the post nasal drip. Usually anything with pseudoephedrine is supposed to make you extremely alert and awake, but in my case it did not. Instead of me being alert and feeling a relief of symptoms  i was really tired, although the symptoms did go away. I felt drained after an hour of it in my system, which is very odd. I learned that this is called a "paradoxical reaction". This means the medication does the complete opposite of what it is suppose to do. I believe i had that reaction happen to me, there is no other explanation. The problem is that it is the only thing that works for me when it comes to allergies and or post nasal drip. I hope that i can overcome that reaction, or i will have to get prescription strength , which is not what i want. 

Valentines Day!

So today is Valentines days! I guess today would be a special holiday because i haven't really celebrated it in a couple years. My boyfriend and i decided that our anniversary is just too close to this holiday, so why spend more money. The good thing about this year  is neither of us work to late so we can actually enjoy the night together. We also are saving money by not going out to dinner, but he does have something up his sleeve. I woke up this morning to my favorite Godiva chocolates, and he says there is more coming. I still have to actually get him something, but I'm not sure what to get. I am most defiantly getting him a card, but should i get chocolates? or something else?

Friends and family

I love the weekends; Its not only because after all week i get to rest, but also i get to finally see my friends and family. Since i cant see anyone throughout the week its nice to be able to hang out with everyone and catch up. My best friend came over who is 71/2 months pregnant, so it was good to see that big ol' belly. My mom and my step dad also came over and made dinner at my place for everyone, and they brought my little brother. My brother and i talked, played a little football, and of course fought lol It doesn't matter how old you are, brothers and sisters fight even though its not a serious one.  My other two good friends came over, and we caught up from our busy week. Its so much fun to just be able to relax after a long hard week and laugh. I wish i could do it more often, but i guess when things happen less you tend to appreciate it more.

Anyone going out tonight?

Its FRIDAY!!!!!!!! and what does that mean?  Well in my life it means the one of two days that i can actually go out and have some fun! It just so happens to be my boyfriend's brothers birthday, so there for i planned a little get together at Renegades. Although Renegades is MY hangout spot and not his so much, i really wanted a place that everyone would feel comfortable. Its perfect because you only have to be 18 to get in and two of my friends are 20 so they are defiantly welcome. As excited as i am i understand its not going to go as perfect as i want it to, it never does.There is always error and flaw in everything. I just hope everyone has a good time, that is most important! I also want to point out that i cannot get belligerent tonight due to my illness; Not saying i usually get belligerent but i do wanna have fun at least once out of the week! right? 

sick....

Being is sick is not fun. My head feels like its a thousand pounds, and my brain is not functioning normal. You would think that a thousand pound head would mean my brain is probably just getting bigger from learning so many new things! NOT... It more like inflammation. I can feel the post nasal drip, which means i have at least one more day of this dreadful cold. I may seem hypocritical, but even though i work in a pharmacy i disregard any sort of medications when i am sick. I did however take something this time, the generic Tylenol (cold and flu), which is working pretty well. I figured i had to go beyond my pride and take "something" or it will just get worse. So here i am with an inflamed head , post nasal drip and less pride than usual; should be a great weekend. =)

upload!

Birthdays , v-day etc =)

This month is one of my so called "broke months"; I have four birthdays, my anniversary and valentines day. The birthdays are all family related so i have to figure out #1 who gets what?! My cousin turns 6 years old so its apparent that he will get a toy, but what about all the grown ups birthdays? I find that after a certain age a mer card will suffice. It is also my boyfriend's brothers birthday today and him and his twin brothers birthday in just two weeks. I suppose cards will do, but what are my other options? I'm not very good at remembering birthdays, and getting a gift is twice as hard. I  think getting a gift is harder if you are broke, but that is just me. Since I'm on a budget i ask you what should i get? Valentines day and my anniversary are on a completely different level. Those two days are clearly more of the "romantic days", so obviously all i have to do is throw some chocolates in a bag with his favorite Jason Aldean cd and I'm good. I cant tell if I'm too simple, or if I'm lazy but either way  something will be given; My money issues aside and the lack of time i have over all this will be a good and fun month.

Vacation!

I cant wait until my vacation. I understand it is not for another five months, however i get excited very easily. I will be going to El Salvador to see my fathers side of the family, as usual. I have gone their every year since i was three months old, so i am pretty used to it. My mom and dad are no longer together, but they are good friends so they both enjoy when i visit El Salvador. I love to go there to see my family of course but it is also so beautiful; many mountains and terrain. I have done everything from horseback ride on a mountain, to four wheel on the beach, it is defiantly my get-away. I feel a sense of being "home" while i am there, because technically i am. A few years ago i actually brought my boyfriend, and he had a blast; i may just bring him this year again. It is defiantly a place that i will take my future kids every year, there is no other feeling than being there, its unexplainable.

Ah the weeekend....

As you know with my packed schedule my only days off is the weekend.  It may seem ideal for anyone to have the weekend off, however have you ever noticed most things are closed on weekends or even closed earlier.  Don't get me wrong i love the weekends off, its the only way i can have some fun! The only problem is i cant get much done; if i want something done i must cram it in during the week. The funniest part about the weekend is that i am usually so tired throughout the week that friday mornings make me think "do i really want to go out?" but i go out anyway! Its like the song from Alan Jackson "i been working all week i don't wanna sleep i wanna have fun, its time for a good time! " That song is completely, and entirely correct, but then again its Alan Jackson ( The Legend).

Sleep....

I miss the days when i could sleep in; When i could either just go to work , or just go to school and not have to worry about both. According to Newtons law "A body in motion stays in motion" so technically it is great that i am constantly busy. I am not as tired as i am somewhat overwhelmed, but in a good way. I notice it is true that if i am consistently busy i am not as tired, which is a plus because i get to be busy and not have to worry about grogginess. I also have to admit that i do like that i am never bored, there is always something to do in my mind. The only hard part about my busy days is changing from school mode, to work mode, to home mode. Right now my balancing act has worked so far, and during the weekend i plan on catching up on some well needed sleep. Even though i miss the days of sleeping in or just going to work, or school i do feel a lot pride in what i do, and i will continue to do it.

Shorter day, yet fun

Tuesday's  are fun, well at least to me. Most people dislike Tuesdays because it is only the second day of the week and the weekend is still not as close as it should be. I agree when it comes to wanting the weekend to come closer so i can relax , but Tuesdays also let me have a little more fun in the week than any other day. On Tuesdays  i have a shorter day at work, and then i have line dancing. Most people tend to think line dancing is like square dancing, and i would like to point out that it is not. Line dancing is a blast, with a mix of country music, rock and even hip-hop. The best part about it is that if you mess up you can always jump right back in and figure out what to do. Its very expressive, and it lets me have a little added fun in my hectic life. I honestly in retrospect do not really have time to line dance, however it is something i do with my mom and my six year old brother so it is a family thing per say. I figure if i cant spend as much time with them throughout the week as i would like, then i might as well try to fit in a couple hours with them. The best part about line dancing is that you can be any age, which is why my brother joins in. It is easy to catch on and fun, plus it is a nice little workout. If it sounds interesting to you then try it, it will never hurt to try something new.
