Question

Is it really wrong to host your own baby shower, if you don't have any REALLY close friends (to spend the money and time) in the area, or family?????



poo, I hope not.

Update Update Update!

Oh hello fellow blogging world, it's been a while.

Super fast update:
ITS A BOY!
I'M MOVING TO GLENWOOD SPRINGS IN 1 1/2 WEEKS
Budda got his first shots and the vet totally stabbed him, he's still sore!
I started my first medical class and I'm stuper stoked!

PLAN:!

Move to Glenwood
Pay rent in advance
Work part time 3 or 4 days a week
Do community service at the hospital 1 or 2 days a week
Work out 1 or 2 days a week at the rec center
Pass all my classes and get signed up for Spring!

Work until I pop!

Spend time with the baby
Do classes
Probably collect unemployment until I can find a decent sitter
Then work work work all summer long
Find a bigger apartment for the three of us
work work work and take more classes!

I guess its just basically focusing on me, the baby, and becoming a medical assistant. Can't be that hard right! :p :p :p

IYIYIY wish me LUCK

September

So I stared school and I can already say I'll be way to busy. I'm going to set up some sort of workout/homework schedule so I don't just sit there studying and eating! I would however say I'm doing well so far because I don't even weigh 120lbs yet. My baby is kicking more and more everyday and my ribs feel like they are breaking inside! It's extremely weird. My job has slowed down so much it's silly-but that's exactly how Grand County works this time of year. I've only got two more weeks left! Instead of running to my moms in Florida I think I'll stick around with my grandparents a bit longer and finish my community service. I don't want to be a fugitive when I want to move back to CO in two years! I do love Colorado though and I'm seriously depressed inside I have to leave. I wish someone would just come up here and be my roommate and help me out :( oh well, I guess I could do one or two winters without snow.

Other then the basics I guess there's not much new to tell. I'm holding up rather well but being alone really sucks. I dream of two different people being two completely different people and neither of them have any intention of doing that. It sucks. I find myself loving one every single day more and more and then finding reasons to seriously punch him in the face. And the other-don't even get me started-he's making himself happy which is all that's important to him. I'm sure that will change in 5 months (sucks for him) Bah, men. I wish I could just turn my heart off and move on. I really do wonder how people do that. I bet though they aren't sitting around pregnant and emotional.

Again-BAH!

No more complaining. I'm going to work today to make some moneys! Maybe I'll see the bear that's been creeping around on grounds. Maybe I'll take some pictures and sit outside and breath in the Fall air with Winter slowly coming in. mmmmm smells good!

<3 <3 <3

Busy Bee, Yes, thats me!

School, work, dentist, exercise, puppy shots, pack and unpack and pack some more
hangout with friends, go to Denver to enjoy a quiet weekend and shop for-yes-maternity clothes
finally. I used a rubberband yesterday and decided it was time for a new drobe'.
Haha I've never heard anyone use the word drobe'.

MMmMMM..
Sublime and Pepper for a morning start
Along with a nice walk around the park
and then working today.

At least I make money to sit there and do homework (:

"Life is Good"

Men

I'll never understand why at that moment looking into your stupid blue eyes and playing with your stupid brown hair, lying on your air mattress, listening to your record player-that I decided to let my guard down and let you in.

You're sweet talk
fake act
I'm a nice guy and I'll love you forever
crap

Really hurts me now
Thanks for that.

I love having a puppy. I walk almost 2 miles a day with this little guy and after 2 weeks of doing this and my yoga I feel amazing. Work is winding down and it's nice because I get to start school earlier. I didn't realize until today how much work these 6 classes are going to be. My mom offered to let me live at her house for free so I can finish school and work part time to save money. I'm super stoked on that. Budda gets a huge yard to play in and I get to wonder the beach once more. I think I'm even more excited to be around my real friends. People who seriously aren't fake. I mean don't get me wrong, I absolutely love CO and I've met a lot of amazing people but shit. I'm done wasting my time on spoiled, stuck up, like omg, lets be friends one day and not the next. I can't wait to be around my Bribay, and mooshka, and girls that know how to have fun without being drunk or constantly trying to get laid (= I guess it will be nice to get away from all the snow I've been around for 3 years.

Besides that, my belly is super itchy and I'm not supposed to scratch it. I'm 17 weeks and my next appointment is September 12th-I'M SO EXCITED! My boobs are enormous haha, and my hair grows insanely fast. I'm looking forward to being a mommy and think that staying busy and giving my life a REAL purpose will be fun. Don't get me wrong, I know it will hurt, be hard, I'll be tired, broke and looking back on the past. But I've had a great history.

Yay for the future.

Life

It's funny how my life changes daily
I guess I'll be going to Florida
to live with my mom, her pups, and hubby-
for free.

Then I can finish school
and find a place of my own
work on my tan (:

Guess that's not so bad

Just TIDbits of words running through my head

And there's something in the way the air smelt

sunset felt

that reminded me of once brighter days

when we went cruisin listenin to our favorite songs play wishing life was always that way

I pulled off into the grass and pretended for a moment it was still that day

We could write a song about how everyone says we're wrong about how this might be love.

But until then we'll sneak around life acting like the past never happened

and every moment without you feels like an eternity, my best friend.

Maybe in another town not so bound by the bad but one where we can start some good

and forget this life you know we could

Until then this love or poison will settle like a scar in my heart

Starting my own family

It's hard to believe I will have my own little family soon in the future. This is my little Budda. I went on a random shopping spree and got him because I guess subconciously I was ready to be a mamma. Well today I'm 15 weeks pregnant and last night I felt my baby kick for the first time. It was truely amazing (and kind of weird). I got my books in for school today and plan on spending the rest of my sunny days getting ahead of the game and preparing to be a student and a mommy.

I'm so excited (:
