The inner workings of a college student and mom

OH Miami

So after a week of Alternative Spring Break in Miami I have come to learn a few things about that great city. #1 - don’t use your blinker if you wanna change lanes…why because no one cares about blinkers and if you do use them….folks SPEED up to not let you in…I’m serious! It didn’t just happen one, twice or three times - OMG it happened at least five time!! At first I thought it was a fluke but it happened so many times that yeah I figured it out, if I use my blinker I couldn’t get in, if I didn’t amazingly I could actually change lanes! The #2 thing I learned about the city of Miami…people will throw ANYTHING along the side of the road. Our third day of volunteering we were cleaning up the streets by the river front and my partner and I found almost an entire set of dinner wear - the knife, fork, spoon and plate. We found two condoms - yes they were used (one was black…did you know that condoms come in black!!), two bottles full of pee, diapers, and oh so many cigarette butts. OH let’s not forget the needles! It was so nasty. Needless to say we got it cleaned up nice and neat for the city of Miami. #3 my GPS does NOT like the city of Miami - recalculating, recalculating…..we got lost so many times (and most of those were near the airport) that I began to figure my name should be “wrong way” for real!

So volunteering in Miami during spring break - almost oxymoronic if you think about it, but it wasn’t. Our first day of volunteering we did an “adopt-a-house” where we went in and painted a house from yellow to blue. It was an amazing transformation. We worked so hard all day to make this house up to code. It was hard work but well worth it. We saved the woman $4,000 by painting it for her. Of course she requested we paint her roof (because it was part of the house), we couldn’t of course because we didn’t have the safety equipment etc. Day two we went to the Feeding South Florida food bank - WOW that place was amazing. We packaged about 6 pallets worth of food - 3 rows stacked 4 high!! It was hard work but luckily for us the volunteer coordinator had an AWESOME mix of music! Day 3 was cleaning the streets - and I’ve already written about that - just say ewww nasty. Finally Day 4 we went to the Tropical Audubon Society in Miami - it was like a jungle in the middle of the city - AMAZING!! So once again we picked up some trash, but also bagged up some palm fronds and sticks. We also learned about the native plants and animals that were located in the mini habitat.

So all in all it was an AWESOME Alternative Spring Break. I’d say it was successful as well, my fear of snakes kept me a bit nervous but luckily for me - no were to be had!!! On our “free day” we went to the Everglades - I got to hold a baby alligator - OMG it was wicked AWESOME!!

I want to do another alternative break - it was rewarding and so helpful. Yes I missed my family, but I gained so much from this. I met some GREAT people whom I can call friends, I got to know more about one of my sorority sisters and I got to help in so many different areas. All in all it was a great break!

Week one is done….here’s the update

Well thanks to Hurricane Irene we started classes late, didn’t have our weekly Gamma Sig meeting - so EVERYTHING is behind…I’d have to admit that this semesters class sked is rather well…sweet…Sure Monday and Tuesday’s I won’t get home until well prob 8PM, but heck as long as I don’t miss Big Brother I’m golden. I do have an easy sked - I mean gesh I’m taking Anthropology and PE - come on how much easier can my sked get…wait I have two French classes so yeah - no fun there. My goal is to make the Dean’s list this semester - so I MUST get at least B’s in all of of my classes - well A’s would be nice but hey I’m human. So on top of classes I have Gamma Sig stuff to do/plan and iron out. So that is a HUGE chunk of my life. Of course let’s go ahead and try to get even more blood out of the turnip so I am coaching youth soccer again - YES again…I’m so happy to be back though, it was like something was missing and instead of having pre-teens I have kids that are under 8. SO it’s gonna be a LOT of fun. I’m just hoping the parents don’t give me grief. I have to admit that was a HUGE reason I didn’t go back for a while because of parents not really appreciating the time and effort I was dedicating to their children. Some parents don’t understand.

So I’ve been in class for like a week (OK less than since Irene delayed the start of two classes). Anthropology is going to be somewhat interesting. We have to do a paper that is a “free write” paper - I’m doing mine on the comparison between Egypt and Mesopotamia (discussing their cultural, religious, etc differences) - I should do fairly well since I already wrote two papers comparing Egypt and Mesopotamia. French Prose seems pretty interesting I have to read a story by Voltaire by next Wednesday - I had already started reading it and am almost done - it’s rather interesting it’s called Micromégas - it’s about a man from Sirius (a Moon orbiting Saturn) that examines the Earth and learns about humanity from us) - its pretty neat. I’m at the point when he picks up an exploration ship and the physicist on board describes how large he is. French through the media should be pretty cool too because we’ll be reading French newspapers and watching TV5 programs - hopefully my French will improve this semester. I only have one more French class and I will have my minor in French knocked out. One more class in Geography I think I have my Geography minor finished as well. I’m pretty much done w/ my History Major - just have to take my Senior Seminar (but I’m seriously waiting to do that because I really REALLY wanted to convince Dr. Lees to teach it - hee hee), and I didn’t want to bog myself down w/ having to do Student observation AND worrying about Senior Seminar. I think that the way may sked is will facilitate me having the MOST success for my TLED class (which is Monday nights). I have to do 30 hours of student observation (which will be pretty easy to do since I’m going to Carver and I know Whitney, Pam, Matt, Jeremy and Cathy will make sure I succeed…..I have to make sure I set some time aside to take my PRAXIS as well…UGH that is one test that I’m dreading. My Tuesday night class is Poly Sci - I really HATE politics so this is going to be my mos PAINFUL class…but I wanna excel so I will make the most of it (I hope). At least I have all of my books - NOT that I got my book stipend yet -yeah thanks a lot ODU VA people for losing my paperwork - they SAID that they put it through on 1 Aug but the “big” VA said the never received it - yeah thanks for that one…it also means that my BAH is late too…nice…So yeah that’s pretty much my sked…pretty sweet I have to admit….

Hopefully this semester will be successful - classes, Gamma Sig and of course my coaching…so much to do….is there time for myself - probably not - I don’t know what “me time” really is…I don’t think a lot of people who really don’t know me realize that instead they insult or speak rudely towards/about me - it’s all good though cuz they DON’T know me! So goals this semester - 1. Make the Dean’s List, 2. have more volunteer hours than I did last semester and 3. ENJOY what little “me” time I get

03 September

Oh to do the unthinkable

WOW that says so much…hee hee but for me it’s all about one or two things (maybe more)…

I started to work on the family scrapbook (UNTHINKABLE)…what!! yeah - I finished like three or four pages today, still want to do one more page on my wedding. I did a page for Isaiah - have to wait for his new karate pic to come in so I can then finish his page. I will do another one for him with pics from his tournaments or demos or something like that. I think I’m also going to do one with some of the things from my wedding - like the announcement, invitation and I am not sure maybe if I have a napkin. I’m probably going to have to do a whole different scrapbook for just Gamma Sig stuff - there is SO much!!!

I downloaded the Big Brother application - I’m not sure if it’s the right one for next season or not, but I downloaded it, I will print it, fill it out, find someone to help me with a video (I have a couple people in mind already) and then send the whole packet in. Do I have a snowballs chance in hell - I really don’t know - I’m pretty well rounded (and I don’t mean just my body shape). I don’t think I’m “too old” and frankly talking about my age is a whole other part…I won’t even go there right now….but yeah I’m hoping that I at least get to the interview.

Went out to the Nauticus for an interview for volunteering out there. I hope the rest of the girls will get into it as much as I am. It’s a really cool place and I’m all about the military aspect of it…YAY shining brass, needle gun work, rehab and painting - oh my……

I actually stood up for myself - of course the backlash was I was pretty much called “old” and told to “take care of my own”. Well I’m not premenopausal if anyone is wondering, which I’m sure folks aren’t, but being blasted on Twitter makes me get a little angrier than I already was. Frankly, I tend to have a rather long fuse, but then again, there is only so much one can take - and I had enough…definitely NOT any “female” problem and I really hate when folks blame female stuff for standing up for yourself, expressing your opinion or asking for just a little respect. It really shows where peoples minds are at and their opinions of me when I read their tweets - see twitter and facebook CAN get you in trouble. Don’t worry folks…I won’t blast ya :-)

So yeah I’ve been doing the unthinkable, it’s INSANE and I love it and maybe, just maybe it will get me somewhere besides here!

Celebrate Alexander Skarsgård's Birthday By Donating To Los Angeles Regional Food Bank →

pillagemyvillageericnorthman:

skarsgardnews:

On average Alexander Skarsgård gets between 1,200 and 1,800 cards from his loyal, loving fans on his birthday. While it is true Alex loves his fans, would you have time to look at 1,800 cards in one week - one month - ever? What would you do with 1,800 cards? There is, quite honestly, no way to keep them. So, we end up with 1,800 cards and envelopes in the trash, in a landfill, and a huge Alexander Skarsgård carbon footprint.

Lets think for a minute about how much money is spent on those 1,800 cards. If we just say that each card costs $5.00 then we are talking $9,000, but postage and handling bring that total closer to $10,000… $10,000 being dumped into a landfill where it will cost countless thousands of dollars more to shred, mutilate and bury… And wait for decomposition. Knowing Alex fans, I suspect we aren’t buying the low-dollar, bargain cards either! So, the total spent on greeting cards for his upcoming birthday will probably top $15,000.

We think of Alex as first and foremost a humanitarian. So, for the third year in a row we contacted Alexander Skarsgård and asked… What would you like us to do this year? Once again, he told us how happy he was with everything he has. He doesn’t need cards and gifts…He has his fans! He would prefer you to show your love for him in a different way. So, instead of putting all that hard-earned money into something that will only end up in a landfill, why not use it to help put food on someone’s table?

This year’s Alexander Skarsgård Birthday Charity is the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. We are all aware that with the status of the economy, tens of thousands of people across the country have either lost their jobs completely or have seen their hours cut back. While thousands of people look to places such as the food bank for assistance, the food bank has also suffered decreases in their donations. This year we ask only that you donate what you would have spent on a card and help us help those who need us most. If you can donate more, we are sure the food bank can put all donations to good use. As most of our readers know, we love doing our best for charity. Putting food on someone’s table, helping nourish and sustain a family for at least one meal, is a wonderful gift.

As an added bonus, we will take everyone’s name who donates and sign it on one huge card that we will ship to Alexander for his birthday. We can guarantee that he will see that card and it will be something he can stand in his bedroom and know that his fans not only love him, but that his fans do good things in his name.

READ MORE (AND PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!)

This is so awesome! :) and yes I’ll donate when I get paid - YAY for good causes :-)

My realtity TV addiction

I’d say it’s more like a passion than an addiction…I mean gesh who wouldn’t love to just sit back 24/7 and watch people doing well…what people do?? OH I really do love my reality TV. Of course CBS (oooh shout out there to my FAV channel) really has the lock down on reality TV - Big Brother, The Amazing Race and Survivor - whaaaaattt…I got addicted watching Survivor the first season - ya know the one with Richard Hatch (one crazy ass mofo) winning Survivor. OOH and then it was Big Brother - OH how I really love Jannelle, Jordan, Rachel (oh yes even though she’s a big ass cry baby I still love her), Chicken George (if you don’t know then now you know) and the list goes on and on…oh Marcellus….the first time I watched Big Brother was like WHOA hey I can do that…So why haven’t I?? Well - frankly for the longest I was on active duty and I sure as heck didn’t have THAT much leave stored up, then I retire and and the desire is still there…am I a chicken?? Nah I just wanted to finish school - but wait Big Brother is in the summer - yeah I know - ever hear of “summer school” and of course family obligations too - I mean whose gonna make sure that my teenagers actually get up and get dressed and eat?? Poor Rod already had to take the brunt of raising the boys while I was deployed 3 - YES 3 - times in the span of less than 5 years - so why would I do that to him…and my other “big” reason - frankly I really don’t think I’m all that good looking - honestly my self image really sucks. Growing up having to hear - dang your sisters are beautiful - what happened to you - kinda just puts you (and mirrors) in a bad light (but that is for another blog). But then I look at the people in the house this season and thing - wait a minute - maybe if I lost a little (more) weight, wore my contacts and actually put on make up I’d be “OK” to look at for the folks doing the live 24/7 feeds. OK sooo take that element away whats next - OOOH yeah….age…for me it’s like well…something I’ve become self conscious of - I know I don’t look/act/feel my age….but does everyone else think I’m as old as I really am…I mean GESH I’m in my 40s now - WTFO - I’ve actually lived a rather full (and exciting) life. My sorority sisters never once said anything about my age (and yeah they are in their 20s - OMG I’m old enough to be their mama’s - uh yeah really) - I don’t know…I think my biggest hurdle is FEAR….FEAR of OMG what if I am really chosen for Big Brother…FEAR of failure (that I don’t like)…I mean I bet if I really tried I’d have a good shot - I mean look at my resume - I did 20 years on active duty (as an Intel analyst - shoot that is a fun element there), been all over the world (without a passport I might add - hee hee), have a family (aaaahhh element), am a college student, in a sorority (ha ha ha - sure gotta add the “fun” element) and so much more - would Alison Grodner actually look at my application? Would she say WOW OK this chick has it going on. I’m friendly (although there are some out there that would disagree - and they are no longer friends on facebook, nor “sisters” so blah to that - I will NOT take the blame for that mess (yet another blog post), outgoing (OK sometimes I’m introverted), I have a temper that will flare up if you cross me (or say anything negative towards my family - NOT a pleasant side to see), I can be funny (DEEEETRROOOIIIT - that’s for my sisters who went to convention w/ me), I’m “worldly” and the list goes on and on…GESH I’m pumping myself up but I don’t wanna pump myself up for failure. Rod already said I could go if I really wanted to. I mean I spent 7 months cooped up on a little destroyer w/ 300+ people that well frankly not all of us got along - sometimes w/o internet, without a phone (OK we had one - just didn’t work that well), sleeping in tight quarters etc etc - If can do 6+ month out to sea w/ 300+ (or more if I’m counting the carrier) people - 3 months in the Big Brother house is easy peasy. Yes I would miss my fam (and my sisters), yes it would be hard and I’d prob have to wear make up everyday - OH lawdy no! hee hee but it would be fun and I think I’d be a lot better than the knuckle heads they have in there right now…REALLY Kalia - can’t you think on your own - does Dani have to be your brain - URGH - anyway my addiction is really bad when it comes to Big Brother - I actually have the Jokers Updates (shout out to Jokers) up and reading the feed - yes even on my phone (OMG I’m terrible). I’ll stay up and watch the Showtime (whoo hoo Showtimee….) Big Brother After Dark….etc etc…OK I’ll fill out the application and this time I’ll actually send it in…wish me luck w/ that…

But it’s not just Big Brother, Amazing Race (love that show) or Survivor…I’m addicted to Repo (OMG really - that show is funny as hell), Storage Wars (yyyyeeeeeaaaaaappp), First 48 (and Missing Persons), Billy the Exterminator and the list goes on and on…OOH Apprentice (what’s up Ivanka Trump)….I live my life vicariously though other peoples lives - OMG is there something wrong with me??? hee hee I’d hope not, but you never know. I mean really isn’t there like something when you live through other people - cant’ live in your own reality - that just sounds stupid - but I’m pretty sure there…well I don’t have it OK….trust me I’m pretty well grounded. I know what I have going on - I’m fairly normal (of course if you ask my sisters they may give you a different answer). So what…

Folks know about my addiction - when’s the only time I tweet (yeah I have a twitter - find me follow me enjoy my funky tweets) is when I’m watching reality TV - WOW I must tweet a lot - hee hee - maybe I do - maybe I don’t - I have like 4,000+ tweets of course that may not be a lot, I don’t know - never checked what everyone else has for numbers. But I have a lot of followers - I have no clue why but heck follow me for some insanity.

If I’m not watching reality TV - I’m watching True Blood (that should be on a t-shirt) and vice versa. and yes I’m a total True Blood addict too but that my dears is also for another blog entry. OOH my mind works too damn fast - sooo much to blog about but not enough time…

SOOOO I’m off to read the feeds so I can feed my Reality TV addiction

Hating McDonald’s right now - prob gonna get food poisoning from them

So yeah, we went through the drive through and you know the old addage “they eff you in the drive thru” - well it’s freaking true when it comes to this McDonald’s in Hampton, the one by the Food Lion on Mercury. Let’s just say I probably am going to be ill because I drank their rotten (yes ROTTEN) sweet tea dollar style. It was only one swig but that is enough. Jayson smelled the tea and was like WOW that tea is rotten! Yeah thanks Jay….Thing is that wasn’t the ONLY thing wrong tonight - the chicken sandwich was like a hockey puck and ya know it’s supposed to be nice and fluffy and tasty - NOPE it wasn’t and BBQ didn’t help. I’m really disappointed but not surprised. It’s not the first time that I’ve had rotten tea from that McD’s, I mean gesh someone really needs to complain - OH wait I DID!! - yep you got that right I went to their “customer service” page and wrote a nice long complaint! I’m sure this is what’s going to happen - the e-mail will get forwarded to their manager and then the manager will call me begging me to come in to “discuss” their service, then hand me some coupons blah blah - but that is NOT fixing the problem. What McD’s corporate needs to do is send in “secret shoppers” for like two weeks at various times during the day and night and see how service is - how the food is etc. I mean HOW the heck do you run out of pretty much everything - really - you are out of every type of soda you have AND your tea is rotten - you really wanna stay in business don’t ya. Lucky I didn’t write the Hampton Health dept to come do a quickie check up cuz frankly that was straight up GROSS!!! Seriously!! How to you SERVE food like that!!! It’s NOT right and could seriously hurt someone.

NOT only was the tea rotten and the food terrible (like it’d been sitting for HOURS) BUT they were out of every kind of soda - REALLY yeah REALLY!!! I mean gesh, it’s McD’s shouldn’t they like have soda there?? OH and let’s not forget that every time we go it’s a gamble if they are gonna have what we want to eat - I mean seriously it’s like the Monty Python “cheese shop” skit - yeah for real - do you have any hamburgers…noo noo fresh out…hee hee.

I guess I’m cured from my sweet tea dollar style addiction - cuz I don’t think I can drink that again!! Just give me a bottled water - you can’t screw THAT up!

You ever know one of “those” people?

There are days that I sit back and think - yeah I know someone like this or that, and I’m NOT saying in a “good” way too. I’m talking about that ONE person you just wanna smack so hard it puts them back to the stone age. I know a few people like that, but lately only one has got my “goat” up…Shit people say and do can get back to those they are doing it to and yep sometimes it hurts, sometimes it really doesn’t. I think that I’m just frustrated with life and what is going on with it. I see things and say to myself - damn I know how to change that, yet others can’t seem to figure it out - and they make a LOT more money than I do. I also sit back and wonder, hmmm, what would life be like right now without a few things that people think we REALLY need (internet, cell phones, etc etc) - if we didn’t have cell phones I bet we’d talk to people - shoot we don’t even do that on cells now - it’s all about texting and gesh if your aren’t texting you are chatting via Facebook - does anyone really talk anymore? Think about what changes have come due to not talking face to face….people don’t even write anymore, I mean REALLY write. Whens the last time I got a letter in my mail box - uh like forever ago - yeah the last letter I got was my mother pretty much dissing my son - and frankly you don’t MESS with my blood! I will defriend your ass in a heart beat if you say/do/act untoward my family…there are some lucky people that just don’t realize what they say and how they say it is a negative statement about me/my family that I haven’t defriended - that’s cuz I give folks plenty of chances before I get good and mad. When I get mad…look out cuz that is when the real bitch comes out - yes I know it’s true…I’m your friend until the end until you piss me off, and then no holds bars - you will not EXISTS if you piss me off or do me wrong…trust me I haven’t spoken to my mother in well over a year because of what she said to Jay - and she’s the one who adopted me!! It takes a LOT for me to forgive anyone, even after I’m not even sure WHY I’m mad at that person, and there are those who are not worthy of my forgiveness and probably never will receive it and frankly that is totally their loss. I could care less that I’m no longer in my mother’s will - her stupidity lost her 2 beautiful and talented grandchildren - and I’m totally not alone on that one either.

My favorite person is always that one person who says - I gotcha next time - and next time comes and what the heck I gotta pay again!! DAMN you are one broke ass MOFO. SOOO I’ve decided that I’m not paying anymore…I just can’t be “that” person anymore. It sucks getting taken advantage of ya know - hell I totally understand if your parents don’t give you an allowance and you live like in a POS on/near campus - I just can’t do it anymore - I’m not that wealthy and frankly I never get paid back (or even say Hey I’ll give you some $$ for gas) shit like that makes me not wanna do for you anymore.

So what the hell am I rambling on and on about?? I’m wondering what happened to the “old” ways - people talked face to face, offered to pay you back or give you $$ for shit you got for them, friendships really lasted and weren’t “convenient at the time” and when someone said something negativiely your friends backed you up - maybe I’m old fashioned, maybe I live by a different set of rules than other, I really don’t know. I know that I don’t plan on stopping that is for sure. Hate me if want - I could care less because my energy level is really waning when it comes to certain things in life and in the words of Roger Murtaugh “I’m getting to old for this shit”

ode to Hampton Roads Traffic

So I’m finally going to sit down and put it all on the line for those of you who think that our traffic is “normal” or not that bad…frankly it is. Hampton Roads has a few “unique” problems when dealing with traffic. Unique problem #1 - tunnels and bridges (and sometimes a combination of both). You can’t get from some parts to another without going over a bridge, through a tunnel or utilizing both. I chose to live on the peninsula - why, because I didn’t want to be on the “other” side surrounded on all sides by the Navy people - yes because that is what our unique problem #2 is, but let me finish on my #1 issue. Even people who have LIVED here like forever have issues driving through the tunnels (or over bridges). OK here is the low down on tunnels - 1. water will NOT get into the tunnel (as in it’s gonna flood cuz it’s under water. The tunnels around here are BURIED under the GROUND (as in dirt, sand, etc) with a good 10+ feet of water ABOVE the GROUND that tunnel is UNDER…soooo I don’t think that water is gonna leak into the tunnel. YES they CAN flood - IF a HUGE storm comes up, but that is why there are flood gates installed on each tunnel. 2. The lanes inside the tunnel are the same SIZE as the lanes you JUST drove on, they don’t shrink to accommodate the size of the tunnel. 3. There are no cave dwelling drawings, signs (except STAY IN LANE), posters, naked men/women, dancing donkey’s or any other thing to check out while driving through the tunnel. If you REALLY wanna know what it looks like going through - take the bus, let someone else drive or google a picture, if you ask me it looks like a dirty subway station underground, so there your curiosity is satisfied. SOOO with all of those points in mind…please follow these simple rules 1. stay in your damn lane, the ONLY signs in the tunnel are the reminders to stay in your lane, by switching lanes you can cause an accident - so please to keep traffic flowing - stay in your LANE. 2. maintain the proper distance between cars - this will eliminate rear ending the person in front of you - trust me it is NOT a pleasant experience to be rear ended - people can get seriously hurt TRUST ME!! So if you maintain a good two car lengths between you and the car in front of you, you should be just fine, especially if you pay attention to rule #3 which is MAINTAIN your speed, as in NO breaking, drive 55 (which is the speed limit folks) and keep your eyes on the road….see it makes so much sense to me - can you just imagine the lessening of traffic woes if people actually followed the three rules I just mentioned - ha ha ha I have to laugh because frankly it won’t happen. There are days I drive through the tunnel and wonder where the heck Virginia State Police are located because stupid people do stupid things in the tunnel. So that concludes our unique issue #1

Unique issue #2 is the conglomeration of people from all over the country living here due to the military obligations. People come from New York and California (where speed is a requirement I swear), Indiana and Ohio where a leisurely pace seems to feel right. People drive differently in different states, even in different areas of those states, and to have all of those people in this “small” area is going to cause driving woes. Add in another “odd” factor is the foreign nationals that move to Hampton Roads for military duty - yes there are foreigners - I’ve seen plenty of diplomatic plates and foreigners driving on our highways…so they drive their way too - it can add more to the crazy mix of Hampton Roads Traffic.There is no standardization to driving so we just have to put up with the crazy drivers.

So all in all Hampton Roads is a unique area w/ obstacles and drivers mixing to have traffic woes almost 24/7. I’m just frustrated that people think we need another crossing - tunnels back up due to bad driving and merging 3 lanes of traffic into 2 lanes of traffic…

and now I will step off of my soap box. Those of us who actually drive I hope will enjoy this post. For those of you who don’t drive….well….yeah….just remember drivers licenses in Virginia are easy to obtain…just sayin’
