Independence Weekend

One act one scene play
[the two characters are husband and wife, they live seperately but try hard to keep their time together meaningful. The scene is split: Wife at computer in her home; Husband at laptop in his home... The day is Tuesday June 27th; july fourth is the following tuesday]

Wife: i was thinking that maybe we could do something for July fourth weekend.

Husband: yeah that would be great; i have off monday and tuesday. why dont you look up some hotels and see if we can get anything by the beach.

Wife: Okay baby [she starts searching the internet for about 20 mins]
-------------------------------------------------------------
Wife: Babe i dont think that we are going to be able to find anything for this weekend...

Husband: I didnt say anything about this weekend... I'm talking about July fourth weekend.

Wife: July Fourth weekend is this weekend.

Husband: Is it?

The end.

[so as you can piece together from this play. i'm not doing anything for july 4th. i'm staying home :( and being bored] ---totally sucks

what a bad day guys

June 17, 2006
Lee and I are leaving Barnes & Noble and on our way home to see the US World cup game. We are on Vets blvd stopped at a light, when we feel a bump from behind. Lee gets out the car and theres this ghetto lady going crazy behind us. [he checks the cars and there is absolutely no damage] but SHE ends up calling hte cops. She tells the cops that we put our car in reverse and hit her from the front. [incredible, i've never seen anyone put his/her car in reverse in the middle lane on VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD! before in my life] but anyways. So the police officer writes a report and put that there are conflicting stories, and that the violator could not be established...

2 days later... Statefarm contacts lee and says that the lady put in a claim and that they need to get the police report so they can establish liability

Today the 26th of June, the police report is finally available [it usually takes 10 business days]. I go to pick it up and I call state farm to tell them that i'm going to fax it to them so they can see that this lady is crazy when the IDIOT ADJUSTER tells me that they have already ACCEPTED LIABILITY! The company accepts liablity on a claim that we put our car in reverse and hit someone from the front in the middle lane on vets blvd. WITHOUT EVEN OBTAINING THE POLICE REPORT! I got upset, as you can imagine. and poor Jeremy {the adjuster} he had to bear my rant. but c'mon! what a-holes. My husbands insurance is going to go up b/c of a lady's crazy claim and statefarm's irresponsibility. Thats not fair.

So about 15 mins after i got off the phone with Jeremy, some other lady calls Lee at work and says that they are taking back liability and not paying anything until they receive the police report. WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE TO BEGIN WITH!

I'm running late to class at this point; i walk in and theres a quiz... 4 pages long in advanced grammar! we were going to be allowed to have a cheat sheet, but b/c i forgot about the quiz i didnt make one and therefore i went without. sucked


Now i'm home and every one is aggravating lol anyways i hope i wake up on a better side of the bed tomorrow.

You know who you are

I do NOT need anyone's help spreading my own news. Got that?

wanna know something interesting?!?

Lee is a programmer. He is a very talented software programmer. He knows how to make very extensive applications as well as WEBSITES. He custom designs and develops websites...And yet i do not have a website!?!? i want a website. I dont want a blogger anymore. www,stupidsometimes.com Wouldnt that be awesome? doesnt everyone feel that i should have one? I think so. The only problem will be saving all of my "old ass posts" aka archives. They may get deleted because they are saved on blogger's server. but i betcha theres a way.

Maybe its not nice putting Lee on the spot like this. Don't get upset baby :) I love you.

Thoughts of the future.

I scheduled my classes for fall semester today. I'm taking the smallest amount of hours since i've been in college. And its strange because i want to take more. i feel like i can handle more, but when i stop and think about it: the baby comes in october, i'll be living in baton rouge[i think] and i'll be commuting to school. and trying to study in between cries and trying to find time to sleep and trying to keep a household and a husband and my sanity. and read for classes and do homework and papers and wowzers. how am i going to do it with a baby? i think i might be in over my head. I dont think that my gpa will be able to hold up. Should i just give up on graduating summa cum laude? i think so. at this point it seems like an unattainable goal. Maybe i would feel a relief of pressure if i just allowed myself some b's.

But once you start feeling okay about b's then C's become acceptable and then what?!? all of my hardwork just goes down the tube.

so i'm practicing the piano

in the only classroom with a piano in it in the whole school. when two people walk in and set up their books. I turn and ask them if they had class in there and they were like " no we're just going to have a study session" WHAT?!?!!?! you had to pick THIS room of ALLLL the empty rooms in the entire college to have a study group in. I'm already self conscious of my piano playing nonetheless having an audience. When you see someone is already occupying a classroom go into ANOTHER one. there are several to choose from. what is that?!

so i'm sitting there barely hitting the keys all embarrassed of playing, when i decide to pack my things. they win. I left.

You know who needs to come to NOLA soon...

Bryan the beautiful. What is up with him staying away trying to make money all the time. tisk tisk tisk. Doesn't he know that visiting me enriches the soul?

World cup

Since the only team i'm really rooting for in the cup is USA and they dont seem to be doing too well. I'm starting to develop loser remorse for those that are getting KILLED. right now ecuador is playing germany and its embarrassing how much germany is CONQUERING them. :( Togo got killed yesterday by swizterland. I feel horrible for them and their countries.

I mean this is the ONLY sport that the WORLD tunes in to see with passion. Its not the olympics which is 10e918-43 different events. This is just country vs country in the most popular sport in the world! thats incredible. I know here in the states its not as popular; probably explains why we dont do extremely well, but we are getting better i suppose. O well, gotta get back to the game [3-0 Germany]

Drop

wow this semester is getting a little over loaded. or maybe i'm just falling way behind, but i haven't done anything for piano. It's getting harder and harder to find time to practice. I think I should drop. but I'm sure that doesn't look too good on my transcripts, but at least its better than getting a less than an "A". My choices are to receive a W or a "B"or even worse a "C". I really don't know what to do. If I drop I'll only have 12 hours this semester, and I probably won't be able to graduate on time unless I take 28 hours in may. and that's ridiculous.

I'm confused. Maybe I should just start practicing and working harder. BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. I'm so lazy.

APPENDAGE:[3:35PM] I just got back from piano class and the teacher thnks i'm advanced and feels i should have no problem getting an A.. how crazy is that!?!? makes no sense. how could the teacher and me have such different views on how the class is going? well maybe i should reconsider the drop.

How adorable is this?

The baby is only 22 weeks and he's already doing summersaults... Look his little legs are on top of his head (bottom left) and his ass is sticking up [right]. You can see his little spine, and his leg bones. cute cute!

Great weekend

This was a really awesome weekend. We found the condo that we love and HOPEFULLY will be able to get. We hung out at the pool and played volleyball. Played some hardcore family feud. Watched movies. Studied and everything else. It was great.

Family feud

Name a specific drink that has bubbles.

Amy: MILK!

Milk has bubbles?

Amy: When you blow in it.

She's adorable.

Ode to the signature people in my life:

My mother loves me more than anyone on this planet could love another individual. It is so true what people say "nobody will love you like your mother" Sometimes she crazy but its only because she's crazy for me. I'm honestly the reason my mom breathes and lives, and every decision she has ever made was for the best for me.

My father adores me, and though he usually is quiet and reserved, everyone knows who his little girl is. I'm his favorite [at least i like to think so] My father has always been the person that set me and my mom's over-the top-tempers straight. he's so chill and not the biggest cuddler but he's loving.

My husband is gorgeous, and he loves me more every single day. He works hard so that he can provide me and the baby with a life that we can be proud of. He never thinks of himself first. NEVER. its always about me or the baby and then he comes last. He sacrifices and settles, and i cant appreciate him more.

I'm So Ronery

I am a person with very few friends. a lot of acquaintances but There aren’t many people who know me. I’m not the first person to kiss your ass so that you will like me or accept me into your group. I couldn’t care less if I were in ANY group. And if I begin to feel like I’m getting tested to be accepted; the least likely I am to want to participate. Dont get me wrong, I'm extremely friendly and usually people take well to me. but at the same time I don’t make a great effort to call you or to go out and see you.

the horrible fact about it is that I am that way towards my friends as well. I’m the hardest person to stay in touch with.

It’s crazy because I was always just an involved person. I went out like 4 to 5 times a weeks and before I had a moment to think I had a thousand people blowing up my cell phone. I went from being the center of the party to hearing what everyone else did this weekend. I feel so incredibly out the loop. And I really think that the main reason for that has been my relationship with Lee. But please don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t give up a second that I spend with lee to go out with my friends. I do choose him first, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t miss my friends, that I don’t want to see my friends.

I think that in almost every relationship, one person gives up more than the other. Either he is always hanging out with her friends or she is always with his friends. AND IF YOU ARE SUPER LUCKY. Ya’ll have the same group of friends to begin with and nothing changes. Well good for you, your fortunate few. But I think that in my relationship with Lee, I have been with his friends. And they are wonderful and funny and accepting, but they are Lee’s friends not MY friends. And at times that makes me feel lonely.

even better news

the guy that owns the h ouse called me today and said he changed his mind and he no longer wants to sell the house. so we completely lost the buy. I'm really upset you guys

My high expectations

ok so i thought i found the PERFECT home. Its a condo in Baton rouge, and i fell in love. I set up an appointment to see the house, and when i got home i checked the webpage of the house again, just to get a look, and THEY RAISED THE PRICE! How can they do that? They had it advertized for a certain price when i made the appt. and then all of a sudden its thousands more!!!!

i'm so upset, and disappointed, and confused on what to do now.

*it really is just my luck*

Hilarious

"And when you enter the workforce, you will find competition from those crossing our all-too-poorest borders. Now I know you’re all going to say, “Stephen, Stephen, immigrants built America.” Yes, but here’s the thing—it’s built now. I think it was finished in the mid-70s sometime. At this point it’s a touch-up and repair job. But thankfully Congress is acting and soon English will be the official language of America. Because if we surrender the national anthem to Spansih, the next thing you know, they’ll be translating the Bible. God wrote it in English for a reason! So it could be taught in our public schools.

So we must build walls. A wall obviously across the entire southern border. That’s the answer. That may not be enough—maybe a moat in front of it, or a fire-pit. Maybe a flaming moat, filled with fire-proof crocodiles. And we should probably wall off the northern border as well. Keep those Canadians with their socialized medicine and their skunky beer out. And because immigrants can swim, we’ll probably want to wall off the coasts as well. And while we’re at it, we need to put up a dome, in case they have catapults. And we’ll punch some holes in it so we can breathe. Breathe free. It’s time for illegal immigrants to go—right after they finish building those walls. Yes, yes, I agree with me."

--Stephen Colbert--

Its funny but in a way it reminds me of Swift's "A Modest Proposal" where he tries to solve the problem of poverty and an influx of starving children by coming up with the most outragous solutions [like feeding all of the unwanted children to wealthy land owners] as a way of showing us how ridiculous we are. To show us how far we take everything. That sometimes man kind doesn't think everything through. Now i'm not going to say that Stephen Colbert was thinking this intellectually when he wrote this speech, but it still conveys the same type of message.

Slightly over stressed

oh man everything is happening this week. its remarkable!

i had a test today, a reading + assignment due tomorrow, a grammar test due wednesday morning, a british lit paper due thursday, a potential house on thursday night in BR, and in between i have to go to work.

I'm a little over assigned, but i'm too lazy to get anything done. i just want to sit and eat.

so i'm a married woman

i got married last night, quickly. to the best man that God has ever created; next to my daddy.

Ever feel like life is moving so fast that theres nothing to remember it by? The days and events just come and go and before long you're lying in bed, looking around and thinking how did this happen? When did i get here?

I'm happy but i'm scared that my life is just passing me by without me doing anything about it.

What is so memorable?

I have beautiful people in my life that adore me and support me, and i'm blessed. I'm thankful and I'm proud to have that type of support team. But at the same time; i always felt that i was meant to do something that i could remember, that someone would remember. And now it just seems like i'm turning into a statistic.
