Okay, yeah...I know it has been forever since I have posted, but yah know it is a little difficult when you don't have a computer....Yap I haven't had a computer since before NYC (that is the beginning of may)...But I have finally been whinny enough to get one (I know that is hard to believe) so as soon as my new tablet PC comes and I get it set up, I promise that I will start blogging again....Now I should get back to work...Later

oh and happy TWO YEARS for me and Charley!!! (it was last Saturday)

Okay so did I miss that one day in school when they actually explained what being an adult is, because as I am beginning to tackle my life as an adult I am quickly realizing that it is not all I expected it to be, and I am quite sure that if I had been properly informed of what my 'grownup life' was going to be like, well I wouldn't have let myself grow up...Perhaps it is just all a big conspiracy, when we are kids the adults don't fully tell us what it is going to be like all grown up...We see them with their cars, nice houses, jobs, complete independence, and are intrigued and excited about being an adult...I can not remember a time when I was told "Delia, when you are an adult, you will be stressed even when you have nothing to do, especially when you have nothing to do (like a job)...Many things that were fun for you when you were little (like taking trips) will have the fun sucked out because you will have to deal with...Money" ya know I think that that is what it all boils down to, money...That is why it is not fun being an adult, you must worry 'how will I pay for this and that', 'what is my credit score', and 'will I be able to provide for my children'....So my solution, why cant we just get away from this whole money thing and just share, like children....People share with people, countries share with other countries....If we all just share then everything would be so much better, so I encourage you all revert to you days in the sand box....Wouldn't life be so much better if the world was just a great big sand box...

a tribute to the upcoming season

Jeremy Grey: John? I need to see you right away. It's important.
John Beckwith: [Walking into Jeremy's office] What's going on?
Jeremy Grey: [sighs] We got three big weeks ahead of us. It's wedding season, kid!
John Beckwith: You sandbaggin' son of a bitch!
Jeremy Grey: I've got us down for 17 of them already.
John Beckwith: Okay, now how many of them have cash bars?
Jeremy Grey: Great question. I like where your head's at and two of them actually are, but I got us covered: Purple hearts. We won't have to pay for a drink all night.
John Beckwith: Oh, yeah. Perfect.
Jeremy Grey: We are gonna have tons and tons of oppotunities to meet gorgeous ladies that so aroused at the thought of marriage that they'll throw their inhibitions to the wind.
John Beckwith: And who will be there to catch them?
Jeremy Grey: Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly, pal! What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding Season? [Jeremy raises his hand]
John Beckwith: Mr. Grey?
Jeremy Grey: Yes. The answer would be, um, Wedding Season? [shimmy-shakes]
John Beckwith: Bingo! I'm gonna get my suit. Now who are we this time?

A BARITONE!!!!

okay, do i remember how this thing works?

sorry it has been so long since I have posted, but well, honestly, working is taking it out of me…I never realized what working full time actually was…it feels like you are in this cycle that never changes, yah know that movie office space, well that’s kinda what its like…well not really, I do enjoy my job, the people I work with, and feel fulfilled like I do some good…but it is still this cycle, its just really different from being in school…I miss school so much and want to be back…well why don’t I give you an update first…Christmas was wonderful (except for having to work) I got to spend the week before Christmas with Charles and his family (for those of you who don’t know, Charles had surgery over Christmas and I helped nurse him back to help) and since then I have just been working….hmmm lets see, momma and I have started to get on the healthy lifestyle, she has lost 8 pounds and I have lost about 4, we are trying to keep each other motivated, its kinda fun (well except all the salad)…oh yeah, my applications to pharmacy school are in and being reviewed, I hope to hear from Samford soon about an interview, and as soon as I hear something I will let you all know, I am saving like a fool for school (well when I can kick my shopping addiction, which I believe I have) and I just want to be back in Birmingham…I hope all is well there...I will try to post again soon, maybe something exciting will happen in my life worth sharing with the world!!! (check my picture blog, for some up to date photos)…Love you and miss you all!!!

another one? ugh, 23...

my first birthday in the 'real world' and its not cool....i miss the days of parties and candles, this year, the highlight of my birthday is work!!! yeah, im working today, t/m and sunday...i think the worst part is that i wont be able to see charley on my birthday :( but i saw him last weekend, and celebrated then with my parents, it was very nice...so today is just another day, is this what it is like when you grow up, nothing to look forward to, no special days? if so i would like to propose an alternative to growing up, i want to grow down, so that is my plan...this year is the last year that i am going to do the traditional 'birthday'....one year from today we will all get together and celebrate my 22 birthday, i am reversing the process...hope that everyone has a great day!!!!

so my thanksgiving break was wonderful, i worked until thursday then had the weekend off to spend with my family and charley, he came to me and we had a great time...it was also very nice to have all of my sisters in the house at once-we had a great time when we werent fighting ;) especially friday...now i am back in the 'real' world, two more weeks of classes and still working...i am just ready for my next holiday week...christmas, i am off for an entire week...it is going to be absolutely wonderful, i am going to decatur and i am so excited!!! this time of the year i actually am missing the craziness that is real exam week and a sudden increase in working, it makes it feel like christmas, here, yes i will have an exam week, but work will stay the same, hopefully i can decorate the house to compensate for my usual christmas routine, but i do think that it will be nice to be home for christmas...i love the holidays!!!

wouldn't it be nice....

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

my new pet

okay, okay, i am sorry i havent written in forever, but i have been so busy....life here is crazy busy, but i know that i am doing it to myself, and for a good reason...i am trying to get back to birmingham...i have been working one-two doubles each week to save money to move back....lets see what else...hmmm...i took my pcat, and it went okay i guess, i will probably find out later this week or next week what my score is, so keep your fingers crossed...i have been going to birmingham alot lately b/c charles has been so busy with all of his many commitments, including opera, which was this weekend, as many of you know, and i just want to take a second and praise what a wonderful job everyone did, watching everyone up there have fun made me miss performing so much, i wanted nothing else but to be up there with everyone else...but my charley, he was amazing, he is growing so much as a musician that everytime i hear him i am just taken back by his talent and dedication, it is a wonderful thing to watch, and i know he is just going to get better and better, charles you make me so proud....so the opera, that consumed a bunch of our time this weekend, but we also got to hang out with some friends, see my beautiful sister at her formal (i will post a picture on my other blog later), and i had the chance to meet with the dean of admissions to samford's pharmacy school, which went very well, and i left with a very positive feeling...i am so ready to be back in 'real' school, and evern more to be back in birmingham, i have just recently been trying to get a job back at uab at the beginning of next year so that i can move back then, i hate being away from 'my' home, my friends, and birmingham, i miss singing in a group, and enjoying my life, that is all i want back...just to wake up each day and smile...so please everyone if you can, shout out a little prayer that something opens up, i have decided that once i can get a job, i will be back....now i need to go clean the house, and then go to work...nine days until i see charley, he is coming her for thanksgiving, i am so excited!!!!!!!!!

can you do it???

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

Bert You scored 79% Organization, 51% abstract, and 54% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are very organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted. Here is why are you Bert. You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Bert is a big neat freak and gets quite annoyed when Ernie makes a big mess. You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Bert is probably a bit more concrete in his bottlecap collecting addiction and his love of the weather. He does show his abstract side when he sings and performs his "Doin' The Pidgeon" song. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. You are both somewhat introverted. Bert is probably more introverted, because he spends most of his time either with Ernie or alone. Still he has no problem being around other people in his role as chairman of "The National Association of 'W' Lovers." Like Bert, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Snuffleupagus Ernie Elmo Kermit the Frog Grover Cookie Monster Guy Smiley The Count If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 96% on Organization You scored higher than 53% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 33% on intro-extrovert

study, work, work, study, b-ham, work....so that is pretty much everything that i have been doing this past week or so, i have been trying to study every spare moment that i have had (with the exception of this past weekend) i have also been working alot, some doubles and on my off day, yet it is amazing that it still feels as if i have no money whatsoever...this weekend i went to b-ham, it was a great weekend, amanda had a band contest so charles and i went and watched her march, it was fun...then sunday, went and saw concert choir sing at cantebury methodist, this was my first time to not be performing, and it was rather hard, it really made me realize how much i miss singing, and how much i miss my friends, i dont like being away at all and i wish i had a chance to get to know some of the new people, it is just really weird, being on the outside of it all... anyway enough whinning, right now i am sitting at home with becca and amanda watching cinderella, my wonderful charles got it for me this weekend, i love disney movies, do you ever wish you could be in a disney movie, everything always ends up working out, and everyone lives happily ever after, i would give anything to know that my life would end like a disney movie, riding off into the sunset with my prince charming......

Try number two

Try number two…well I bought my PCAT study book today…I decided to get a new one this year, so I broke down and spent the money to buy a Kaplan, and now as I stare at it I am beginning to wonder if I am going to have time to read the entire thing in 3 weeks….i mean, why can’t I just put it under my pillow and learn by diffusion, that would be wonderful…but now I probably need to go to work, so I should stop typing and get dressed…and tonight, after work, I have a date with my study book….goody goody!!!!

another trip home

Well another trip home has come and gone, and I now sit here in my bed at my mom’s house watching the UAB Spring 2005 concert on dvd…technology and the internet are amazing things…I just mailed off some of my high-8 tapes of memorable concerts and trips and three weeks later I have custom dvds…I am so glad I was born when I was…my trip home was nice, way too short but very nice and much needed…Saturday morning I had lunch with “the girls” ya know how people say that you meet you best friends in college, well these girls are mine, my friends that I hope will be my friends until we are old, while we done always talk as often as we would like, when we get together we just fall back into our usual roles of the group...Girls I love you all so much and I thank you all for everything ( I will post pictures on my other blog, the link is to the right)……after that I went back to Charley’s and we watched football, it was so nice to have a relaxing afternoon just curled up on the couch with him watching TV (even if all the games did not make me happy, at least auburn won, War Eagle)…then we had dinner at superior grill with Melanie and Scott, the last time we went we waited 3 hours and never got a table (it was may 5) so this was like a make up dinner…than back to the house (apt) for more football…church this morning was nice, it is amazing how at home I feel at trinity, I miss it there so much more than I ever thought I would, I miss the people, the atmosphere, the feeling I get just being there, it is my church home and one of the highlights of each trip back to Birmingham…after church Scott treated Haley, Mary Beth, Wesley, Charles, and myself to lunch, it a very sweet thing to do, thank you Scott….then only bad part of the trip was, of course, coming back, ya know I thought that it would get easier the more I went and came back to Jackson, but it feels as if it is just getting harder, I am so ready to be back home with my friends and my charley, I just hope I can make it through the time I have until I move back, and the uncertainty when it will happen, for that I am quickly learning how I must depend on another source of strength, Charles and I both must, I find myself very often asking for help to stay strong, and not burst into tears just because I thought about the way my life was or could be…it is definitely a day to day kinda thing, but I am trying to learn…anyway, enough rambling, I need to go to bed, t/m I have class (yea!!!) and then a night of working…back to the real world, but I cant help but think that in 13 days ill be back home…

okay, so my mother was intrigued by the "leader test" so she took it...and after my mother, the republican, all of a sudden i heard a burst of laughter, i look to the computer screen and what do i see but this:
