**Beautiful Bria**

So we had five Thanksgiving day dinners. Yes count them, 5! I can't believe it myself. I don't even like turkey that's the frightening thing. Turkey is by far my least favorite food. It ranks right up there in the brussel sprout category. We had dinner at anthony's mom's, my mom's, my gram's, and lastly my house. Dinner at my house was this past Saturday. It was nice we had just our friends over and made enough food to serve the town. We'll be eating this years turkey next year and the year after that.
Anthony and I were among the Crazies who went shopping on Friday. We were up and ready to go at 4:00 am. It was insane but totally worth it. The after Thanksgiving shopping is definitely the kick off to the Christmas season.
Jenna came over with my absolutely adorable god daughter. I mean everyone says babies are cute. They are even cuter when you have some sort of emotional attachment to them. However this is not the case for all babies. I mean seriously there are some pretty ugly kids running around out there. I hate when you run into someone who has an really ugly kid. Now most people would feel obligated to say "oh how cute your baby is." Not me I call em' like I see em'. If your kid is ugly there is no way around it. Lying through my teeth is not going to make your little troll any cuter. Bria definitely does not fall into the troll category nor will she ever. You can see for yourself.

The Holidays Approach

I spent all weekend doing homework with a few moments of freedom here and there. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Anthony's mom's this weekend. She bumped it up because the holidays tend to be busy all around. It was a nice dinner. Anthony's mom loves to play hostess and have multi-course dinners. Of course her dinners are always fancy because the proper hostess wouldn't have a lame dinner party.
Earlier in the day I went and finally got my hair done. Most of you know about twice a year I change my hair in some way because I become bored with it. Last year I went red or should I say cranberry. Then I cut 11 inches off of it bringing my long hair to a shoulder length do. I kept it simple this time. I of course got a trim to keep it healthy looking. I also got a spotlight done with two different blondes. They are only slightly different. I hate when people use a copper blonde and a regular blonde. It makes their hair look tarnished.
Baxter went to the vet this weekend. He was having some difficulties in the house. An overnight at the vet and a small bill later discovered Baxter's issue. He is a brat. That's right a brat. We paid the vet to tell us our cat has an attitude problem. We knew that!
And......as I promised last time things that annoy me. Ricky Martin's new song is on the top of the list. Daddy Yankee and Ricky Martin are not a great duo. Ricky Martin isn't really a great single. Last week in class we talked about the game second life. It's a game where you can literally have a second chance at life. It's hard to explain but losers umm... I mean people actually waste hours and days playing this game. There was a guy on there who was single, 43, and Mark Twain in his second life. Umm hello you are lame in really life don't be lame in your fake second life. I'm also sick of people who are superficial. Seriously everyone grubs it now and then, even you in your Manolo Blahniks. Hmm and lastly on my list of absolute hates....HOMEWORK!!! I've been doing it all weekend.

Humble Pie tastes Like Shit on a Stick

So my professor conflict has since been resolved. It took a ton of effort on my part. I spoke with my advisor today and bitched and moaned for almost an hour. She assured me this whole fiasco would be resolved one way or another. Well she called me about half and hour later and said: "brace yourself." That can never be good... she then told me the corrections were there. I assured her they were not. Low and behold I checked and there was a sea of red all over my assignment. I assured her it was not there when I lodged my extremely heated complaint. I looked like a complete idiot. This is the unintended playground attack I alluded to in my last post. Well she researched it further and found the comments were inserted three days ago. Alas, I am not an idiot or crazed woman. So what did my advisor suggest I do? She suggest I email my professor and ask for a redo since the comments were late in their arrival. Hence the humble pie. I had to kiss some serious butt... and I did ... and it sucked. Talk about blow to the ego.
Next on my list of ranting things people who don't have lives, superficial people who care about themselves and monetary goods, and various other topics. Stay tuned to hear about this breaking news.

Karma? (Hope not)

So I drove all the way to work today and my client's mother blew me off. Needless to say this is the third time I have driven a million miles for nothing. I love my job but I hate this part of it. Eventually I will meet my new client and start my job again.
I'm very upset with Salve's grad program right now. My blood pressure goes up every time I think about it. I currently have a professor that has a personal vendetta against me and has resorted to childish games. Needless to say these games are effecting my grade. So I have sought out the help of my advisor and others in an effort to make amends with my professor. However, I think he may just try to beat me up on the playground when I least expect it. That seems to be his preferred method.

Zoom Zoom Zoom

So I had to drive Anthony's WRX today because my car needed a new belt. I could get in some serious trouble if that was my everyday driver. The fact that I am a bit of a lead foot if you will, would aid in my getting into trouble. The WRX gets up there pretty quickly. My car is fast but not as fast as Anthony's. The WRX is a 5 speed and I forgot how much I miss driving my old Sentra. When I bought my new car I couldn't get it in a 5 speed which is disappointing but I still love it. However, driving Anthony's car today brought back the nostalgia of my old 5 speed. However, now my car is fixed and I must give up Anthony's car and return to my more practical Matrix.
Like I said before the Matrix needed a new belt. When I brought the car in for my last oil change they told me I needed the belt and it would only cost me $350 to fix. Wow what a deal! However, my very intelligent boyfriend could fix it for me. He only charged me $20. (the cost of the belt) Something tells me the dealership wasn't telling me the complete truth.
So my eye doctor told me months ago I needed to start wearing my glasses more because my contacts were causing blood vessels to form in my eyes. This isn't very good. Well I having been putting off getting glasses because, well, they're expensive. I used all of my insurance to get my contacts so the cost of the glasses is an out of pocket expense. I ask my mom to get them for me for Christmas or at least pay for some of them. Of course she said yes because she is my mom and spoils me. Today I went to browse for glasses and ended up buying a new pair. I'm a sucker for sales. I saved a hundred and seventeen dollars how could I pass up a deal like that!

Stressed?

So I finally went to see the doctor about all the stuff I have been going through. (those of you who know know and those of you who don't, well it's not that important) Anyway, I have to go for another series of tests which requires about 1 million vials of blood. However, the doctor doesn't think my problem lies in a medical mystery. He simply thinks that I am burnt out. How could I be suffering from burnout at 22? Apparently I have too much going on right now and should reconsider my schedule. Well thank you doctor but I have no time to clear my mental plate. In fact I was thinking about going for a second helping of high stress living. But.. this new found burnout has helped me to make a decision. My old job keeps calling me nonstop asking me to pickup extra shifts. Do I sound like I have time for that? Well they called me again today and asked if I wanted to even work there any more since I haven't picked up a shift in months. They have finally seen the light. I am going to call them tomorrow and tell them to take me off their relief list thus... providing me with relief. I guess that is one thing to clean off my mental plate.
