I have a new favorite song. It's "Speak" by Nickel Creek. So beautiful.

So I realize that it's actually pretty difficult for me to keep up with entries while in school. But I'll give you the skinny:

College is hard.

Potbelly is GOOD.

Daniel is great.

So now I have to do homework. I don't know what to write about! If anyone reads this, please tell me what to write about! Please?

UPDATE!!!!

I have stuff to write about. How silly of me. It's really late. I should try to get this in before 12. or else it'll be for tomorrow. Of course. I'm rambling. Stopping...now.

Weirdest thing in the entire world happened to me today. A little boy I used to babysit for visited the site today, and he was hugging everyone but me. When I asked him where my hug was, he said he'd heard I was engaged and didn't want to hug me anymore. That made me sad. So I told Daniel (who's swamped with schoolwork as well, I haven't seen him in about a week) that since I was off the market, young children are repulsed by me, and he just told me to be happy. Because little children can be creepers as well. I didn't know what to say after that. I hung up the phone.

I'm going out to dinner with Daniel tomorrow though. Well, not out. We're cooking. It's so much more fun that going out. We should have a lot to talk about!

We have 4 new employees this fall at the daycare center (I'm back at school, so back with the babysitting) and their names are Aimee, Janelle, Richie, and Jonnie. All girls. Aimee and Jonnie are best friends and applied together for jobs. I think we'll have to split up their shifts. All they do while they work is gossip. And we need completly dedicated employees. We can't have a repeat of last year. It lost us too much business.

Tomorrow I have ballet, and I'm assissting in teaching this year! It's fun so far, but those 11 year olds have attitude. I should be able to deal with it though. Pray for meh!!

I also need to get work done this weekend. I have so much homework it's crazy. And facebook just likes to mess up my timing. (see entry title.)

Thanks for reading.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Peace, Love, God Bless

Yes, I am alive!

But things have been really hectic and crazy lately, and all of that has gotten to me, and I haven't been able to write a decent entry for you all.

So, let's get through the major things that may be on your mind, or the things I just want to generally talk about in this entry.

A. U.Penn. Is. HARD.

B. The passing of Daniel's father.

C. The arrival of my friend's baby.

D. My best friend breaks off her engagement.

E. My amazing trip with Danny!

Ok, don't freak out. So, this is the most drama I've have in a few months at a time, but Daniel's love keeps me sane.

A. COLLEGE. Goodness, it's a lot of work. A crazy about of work. It's hard to keep my GPA above 3.6, but I do it, somehow. I have an english test tomorrow, so I have to study after I'm done with this entry. But it's my last year, so I'm happy to try and finish with a bang instead of just fizzing out. :)

B. Daniel's father passed away on August 12. He just died in his sleep. Doctor's don't really know what was wrong; they say it might of been heart complications. Daniel had a sort of tiny meltdown, and stayed in his room for a week or so. I didn't know what to ever say to him that would make him feel better, so I would just hold him when I got home from work each day. He says that helped him. I'll never be sure. I hope it did. I got Daniel to go to the funeral, and he's happy he did. Things are ok now, but that was a really hard time for Daniel.

C. So, my friend had a baby this month! Her name is Emeral, and the babe's name is Noelle. She's gorgeous, and I love that little girl to death. I'm the godmother!

D. My other best friend, who was getting married? She's broken off her engagement. She left town, saying she needed to sort her life out a bit. I don't even know exactly where she is, but she calls everyday. She says that the engagement wasn't going well, but won't give me details until we meet in person. Don't ask me: I don't understand either.

E. Oh, the places we go. Daniel and I had a blast. Remember our big trip? We ended up going all over Europe. I would have pictures, but I'm really lazy right now to put them up. The room arrangements were very nice, and the hotel was amazing. Daniel got a little sick one night, but he was fine the rest. That night he slept on the couch, but the rest he slept in the bed with me. Being in the bed with him, we slept as I always imagined I would sleep with my husband: He holds me. It's an amazing thing, love. I can't even describe it. It's not physical attraction anymore, either. I just look at him, and he looks at me, and something in our brains connects and lights up. It's just...sigh. :)

So that's my life in short. Entries will come more frequently soon.

I hope to God in heaven that I'm not getting the cold that's been going around. Please. PLEASE. I really don't have time for it.

Thank you for being the best subbies in the whole wide web :D

Peace, Love, God Bless

SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH!!!

OH woe is meeeeeeeeeeee

My fiancee is going away...again. I don't know how long I'll stay sane this time. We are just too...in sync to stay apart.

He's going on a work trip (Daniel is working in journalism this summer, his dad got him a job, so he is going to Maine to do something and take some pictures) and he'll be gone for TWO WEEKS. Oh, how will I live?

But, in other news...

Went to Daniel's parents' place, and had dinner. It was great. I love his parents. I had authentic Spanish food, and it was AMAZING. (just so all of you know, if you didn't know, i'm black and Danny is from Spain. :)

Work is good. Got another one of my works in the paper. But so much work is to be done. I have to write a paper on a local bistro, and I have to do all this research and stuff, and it makes me sad.

Everything else is good in my day to day life. The only thing that is missing is "The Wonder Years" on DVD. How are all of you?

Peace, Love, God Bless.

Ok. So, before I start, just know that the dinner went well! The family ended up liking Daniel. Of course, there was journey to getting to that point. And here's the story:

So, I wore one of my nicer dresses, and Daniel wore this gorgeous suit that I picked out for him. When we got to the door (we had gone out before), he said he was nervous, so I kissed him, and my mom opened the door as soon as I had stopped, so we were already on a semi awkard note. :/ But, we had dinner first, and we had casuel conversation. Everyone could see how well we knew each other; we finished each others sentences and ate off of each others desert plates. I thought that part of the evening went well.

Then, after din-din, my family usually just hangs out, but since this was a classier dinner, we played cards and talked. Daniel and I went our seperate ways so that he could get used to the family. I would look over every once in a while, just to check on him, and he always seemed engaged in something, whether it being a conversation or a game.

Then, after about an hour of that, when I was in the bathroom freshening up, Daniel knocked on the door and I let him in. He started saying how much he liked my family, but he thought some of them didn't like him. I asked him why, and he said because of the way they looked at him. And my mom is still iffy about him. I don't know why, but that's how it was. So I loosened his tie, and he took that as a turn on (he takes everything as a turn on nowadays) and we had a fantastic kiss, which got him exicted. My whole family got into a game of Taboo, while Daniel played, I talked to my cousin, and she said some of the nicest things about him!

He said stuff like people could tell he really loved me, like by the way he looked at me when I talked, or looked around for me when we were apart, or how he would reach for my hand, even when it wasn't there. :) I didn't even notice these things. So, she said she loved him. He made a good impression.

I fell asleep on the couch, and I woke up to him kissing me, telling me it was time I got up to bed. I was surprised he was so at ease kissing me, but don't get me wrong: I enjoyed it. So I went to bed, and our evening was near perfect.

Well, there's the longer entry I promised. Thanks for all of the positive feedback by the way! It really boosted me up.

Peace, Love, God Bless
