Missing my Missoula

I woke up to 20 degrees here in Lubbock, Tx a few days ago and thought just for a slight second that I was back in Missoula....but I'm not. I'm still here and still going to Tech. I miss my wonderful sisters so much its nuts. I just wish I could have the best of both worlds like Hannah Montana....I know lame right?

I definitely feel like my heart is torn in two and possibly three because my heart is here with me and my boyfriend in Texas, but it is also in Missoula with my best friends and also overseas with my best friend Dee and all my wonderful Navy friends. This holiday will be hard but I have a feeling I'll be seeing my best friends soon. Especially in January and May.

For now I will chug along and make sure that I do what I have to, to try and pass this semester.

Top Ten Week 1

So being as Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is only a month away from that I decided to list my favorite things about this time of year. I'll start off with my top ten favorite songs. So here goes:

1. "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" and it has to be the original version cause there ain't anything that can touch Gayla Peevey on this song!

2. "Christmas Time" by Hanson. It may not be a popular Christmas song but it definitely an inspirational one.

3. "White Christmas" this one is important cause it is Bing at his best!

4."Winter Wonderland" Frank Sinatra is pretty fantastic!

5. "This Christmas" Chris Brown version. I know that some people may not like the guy but he does an amazing version of this song!

6. "Santa Baby" Eartha Kitt style! Although the "Santa Baby" version in the movie This Christmas (with Chris Brown and Columbus Short) was amazing too.

7. "O Holy Night" by *Nsync is probably one of the best versions. (A Cappella)

8. "I'll Be Home for Christmas" Rascal Flatts. (A Cappella) I don't even need to explain this one!

9. "I saw Momma kissing Santa Claus" Reba McEntire...there are other versions that are just as good but I had to give some credit to my Queen of Country.

10. Lastly, but surely not the least of my favorites is...."Up on the Housetop" George Strait cause if you are going to have the Queen, you definitely need the King!


Well I'm going to make my Christmas Playlist. I hope you will enjoy these songs just as much as I do!

Next time it will be favorite classic Christmas movies!

Raining cats and more cats...

What you guys may not know about me is that I have taken 3 cats into my home. My mother had 2 of them and found out that her boyfriend is allergic. Well over the summer I acquired another, her name is Byntly. The oldest is Emma and the "middle child" is Cali. They are very energetic, but can be a little on the obnoxious side. My mafia (this will make sense later) of cats cracks my mom up and I'm hoping you guys will find it entertaining as well.


We all know I've been addicted to Sweet Tea since I was about 5 years old. I probably go through a gallon every few days. Well my littlest cat (Byntly) has decided she likes the taste for Sweet Tea as well. I was laying in bed sometime last week, most likely Thursday cause that's the only day I've had available to just chill in a
while, and she jumps up on the bed and crawls over me to get to my glass of Sweet Tea. She begins to slurp it down with out even realizing that I'm laying there watching what she is doing. She will stare you down as you eat your food, like she is begging for food or something. She crawls under the covers with me to sleep, but if you try and pet her when she doesn't want to be petted she will attack! She is also the cat that likes to up root my plants and keep doing it after I re-plant them. She is my "dog", be
cause she takes my socks and hides them. I'm down to like 5 pairs of socks because I can't find the others, thanks to her!


Cali is my attention whore. She will be up in your face no matter how many times you swat her and tell her to back off. She also likes to not use the litter box if it is in the least bi
t dirty. I mean like she is fickle. She loves to leave presents for me when I've missed one day of cleaning the litter box. She is my most outspoken one as well. She will cry and cry for attention its ridiculous. Just this past Saturday she was crying and I was like "why are you crying? I already fed you guys...." *light bulb goes on* "you must need water....my bad."



Emma, my mother's cat, she also acts like a dog somewhat because she responds when her name
is called. It also has to be my mother's voice doing it, not mine. So when I'm Skyping with my mom she will stop mid sentence and start calling her cat which in turn brings the cat running and getting up in my face. Emma was a rescue cat (pretty much all the cats were rescues) but she is a tad bit different. My mom walked into a Pet Smart and saw her, unfortunately fell in love. Emma was rescued by the ASPCA from a house of like 100 other cats. She bit the guy trying to get her prepared for my mom and ended up in quarantine for, I believe, 3 weeks. She is a very shy and quiet cat. She only makes noise when its feeding time. She is also a clean freak. She hates the smell of the litter box and wipes her feet on the floor after every use. She also loves to fling litter out of the box....it thrills me....let me tell you.

On to the Mafia analogy....Emma = Godfather, Cali = godfather's skanky whore, and Byntly = the new guy joining. Because Byntly is still a kitten she likes to play but Emma hates her! Byntly will attack and all you will see is Emma's ears go straight back and she will be the biggest &*!#$ in the world. Cali has begun to attack Emma as well, which is kind of hilarious. Two cats ganging up on one.... I'll have to tape it and post it the next time it happens.



Well I'm not sure you wanted to know all about my cats but there you go.

College

I thought it would be easy and I could handle it but obviously I can't grasp it. I'm going to fail 2 classes this semester and I don't have any way of preventing it. I'm stressing big time. I'm going to fall farther behind in school. Great just what I needed. Oh well might as well keep chugging along!

Other than that I had the best weekend with my wonderful boyfriend. I saw Due Date which is hilarious and I definitely suggest that everyone go and see it, especially if you loved the Hangover!

"Reasons to be Pretty" was pretty fantastic! Good job everyone! Now working on crew for "Anton and Show Business"!!!!

Still have to memorize food for OTB and have to prepare my monologues for Auditioning class. This week is gonna kill me probably.

I hope things get better soon.
