Saturday

Hey Yall!!

Today was a really busy day. I got up shortly after 8 and made 42 pancakes for my sister and 2 brothers. LoL!! And of course, we didn't eat all of them. Anyways, we got ready to go to my friend's wedding. It was interesting; let's leave it at that. Then me and my sister went to the retirement party of the amazing administrator of our high school. Dr. Wilkins is an great man of God and willing to help others. I love him!! I got to see alot of old friends plus my first teacher I had at the school. I had a great time; I laughed alot!!

Friday

Hi Yall!!

TGIF!!! It's been one long interesting week!! I'm so glad it's Friday!!!

Today I went for my first 3 hour lab!! I absolutly love it. I'm in a class of eleven 3 year olds. Let's just say they keep ya on your toes!! I have a fan club of 4 girls and 2 boys. Katie Grace, Ella Cate, Abbi, and Taylor are my girls; Ayush and Conner are my lil guys. I learned that Fridays are show and tell days so next week I'll have to take something. I might take a picture of our new puppies...lol!! I have to get permission to be able to take/post pictures of my kids so I don't have pictures to share today. I adore my lil kids!!! I can only imagine what the other lab will be like...lol!!

Thursday

Hi Yall!!

My Instructor for my ECD 243 class told me yesterday that I didn't have to go to lab today!! I was super excited!! LoL!! The school district hadn't called my instructor or my advisor back so I didn't have to wake up at 6 this morning and meet children I have no clue about. LoL!! I hope I have a lab next week-I don't want to get too far behind with the assignments.
So, today I slept in which was absolutly amazing!! LoL!! It's been a great day so far. I have a night class tonight but hopefully it won't last the whole 3 hours!!

Here's the funny of the day:
I fell down the steps of the bloodmobile. I laughed. It was soo me!! I scrapped my right knee a lil. I thought there was just one step but it turns out there were 3 and I totally missed them. LoL!! Totally cracked me up!!

Tuesday and Wednesday

Hi Yall!!

Yes, I totally forgot to blog yesterday. lol!! Anyways, I had a great Tuesday though. My dog had puppies yesterday. They are adorable. I'll post pics and videos later.

Today was a day to overcome one of my fears: I donated blood!! The AnMed bloodmobile was at school and I got enough courage to give blood. I was so glad I did!! The only time it hurt was when the lady pricked my finger. lol. My friend Cole waited outside for me and made sure I didn't pass out. lol. Here's the pictures I took.

Monday

Hi Yall!!

I so did not want to get up this morning. When my alarm rang this morning, I was like I know I don't have to get up yet?!? But of course I had to. I got up and dressed for school. I think this morning was the first morning in a LONG time that I wasn't frozen when I got to my classroom at Tech!! LoL!! Most mornings I can count on the water in my amazing PINK VS blue water bottle to be freezing cold just walking between the library and the building my classroom is in! LoL!! [that's weird south weather for ya] Well, this morning's class flew by thanks to my Mt. Dew!! LoL!! I know not to drink it at night but in the morning-you better believe I'll drink one to keep me awake!! LoL!! Anyways, the class lecture this morning was how to do and write a "proper" observation since we have a 3 hour observation lab every week for this class. I learned 3 different ways of writing observations down. I left from school and came back home. So, far today has been great!!

Sunday

Hi Yall!!

Today was an awesome day!! I played outside with my brother Joseph and cousin Erica!! I ran into a tree, literally...long story there. Then I went on a walk with Erica; we saw the goats and cows.




Then we got back to Granny's and I had to get Landan away from the "big kid" game of monopoly. So, I got a bowl, wooden spoon, pretzels, graham crackers, a marshmallow, and shredded wheat cereal. He likes to "cook" so I let him. LoL!!

Then, I wished I could have slept for a few hours but I couldn't because I had to get ready for church. Tonight's service was great!! I just got home and had some chicken w/ ranch dressing and fries!! Since I have to get up early tomorrow morning, I'm about to head to bed!! Hope Monday is a great day for yall!!

Saturday night

Hi Yall!!

We went to the fish fry. I ate chicken. lol!! Instead of staying in the fellowship hall, I took one of the little kids (Kaden) to the Sunday school room to paint. And of course, we made a mess!! We had on gigantic paint shirts and plenty of paint and not enough stuff to paint!! Here are some of the pictures.The one with my hands, you can see where Kaden gave me high five. And no, I'm not a major hunchback. lol!!

Friday and Saturday

Hi Yall!!

I totally forgot to blog yesterday. Since I didn't have a lab yesterday, I stayed home all day!! Last night we went to Toccoa, GA for a youth service. Nicole was there!!! She is an awesome friend!! I love her!! LoL!!

Anyways, later on today my family and I will be going to our church for a fish fry. Since I do NOT like fish, my mom is buying chicken for me and those who do not eat fish!! I'll try to post some pictures on here, if I remember to take some!!

Hope yall's weekend has been great so far!!

Thursday

Hi Yall!!!

It's been another good day so far!! I went to my last lab orientation today and finally understood what all I have to do and what to expect. I think this experience will be amazing and fun!!

Yesterday, I told that story about Holland and his outfit. Well, today I thought I would share the pictures of my cousins Erica, Emily and Landan (pics in order of names). Since Holland had to change his outfit, I couldn't take "serious" pictures of him in that getup! LoL!! Hope you enjoy these pictures!!

Wednesday pt 1

Hi yall!!

Today has been great so far!! I went to class this morning and a girl (Angie) asked me if I was related to another girl she knows, Meagan, because Angie had seen a picture on myspace of me, Meagan, and Meagan's friend Nikki. I told Angie that we weren't related but have known each other just about our whole lives. Anyways, I told Angie that I hadn't talked to Meagan in like forever...more like since last summer. Well, I walked into the library at Tech and who is using one of the computers?! Yep, Meagan. I went up to her and told her about what Angie had said. She laughed and then we got to catch up on each other's lives; I asked about Nikki who is about to have a baby!! It made my day being able to get the chance to talk to Meagan. lol!!

Here's a funny story that will make you chuckle!!

Every Sunday my Dad's brothers and sister and their families get together at my Papa and Granny's house for lunch and to hang out. Me, being the Sunday afternoon babysitter, watch after the 4 younger cousins: Erica (11), Emily (8), Holland (6), and Landan (2). My brother Joseph (13) tags along too. Anyways, keeping up with the kids and having something for them to do can be tough at times. Well, this past Sunday showed the creativity of Holland who tells everyone he wants to be a scientist when he grows up.

Here is the story...finally...lol

This past Sunday, I went outside to take scenery pictures. My tag along [Landan] realized I had went outside so he had to find me. He hurridly put his shoes on and ran out the door yelling "Gotta find Mary, Gotta find Mary." My brother Joseph chased him down and took Landan back into the house; Landan had put his shoes on the wrong feet and forgot to put his coat on. Then Joseph told him that they could go outside to find me. Holland chose to tag along. [Granny and Papa's house has a slopped backyard; plus it had rained the night before] So off they went down the hill to find me. I was watching them from the big trees that border the property. Joseph and Landan made it down alright but Holland didn't. He fell down and got mud all over his jeans and shoes. So, he went back to the house to change. I took some pictures of Landan and then Erica showed up so we all decided to go to the swing set.

We were there a few minutes when I spotted Holland coming out the back door. He had on a large white t-shirt, his camo coat, and a pair of my Papa's hunting boots. He didn't have a shirt or pair of jeans on underneath the big t-shirt. I started laughing; only Holland would come out with that getup when it was maybe 40 degrees out. (His parents had no idea of the outfit until Holland and Landan had to leave) I called Holland "Moses" and asked him if he had permission to wear that outfit and boots which of course he didn't so I sent him back in so he could change. He came back out with the same outfit but different shoes: his tennis shoes and large black socks. I of course took pictures because in the future, I'm sure he will appreciate them when I show them to his girlfriends and friends!! LoL!! Since I started calling him "Moses", that got the rest of the kids to. We chased him asking him for miracles but all he said was that he was going to change us into hogs. LoL!!

Thought yall might need a laugh today!! I'll try putting at least one funny story on here everyday!!

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Hello again!!

Today has been a good day so far. My morning class didn't last the whole 3 hours today thanks to the inauguration!! My instructor wanted to watch it so we got out early!! I'm all for that!! LOL!!

I think I'm going to start blogging twice a day. (In the afternoon and at night) I know as my day goes on, I have many stories to tell!! Anyways, I think this is all for now!!

Oh, if any of yall live in the Anderson/Clemson/Seneca, SC area-ride the CAT bus. It's a free public transportation system and very entertaining. I ride it everyday except Fridays to school and I always have "funnies" about my rides!!

Guess that's all for now!!

My First Blog

I'm new at this so it might take a little while to get use to blogging everyday and remembering I started this. LoL!!
I'll start by telling a little about myself. My name is Mary and I'm currently a college student majoring in Early Childhood Development. I love my major; it is so exciting. I have a wonderful family: Mitchell, Brenda, Elisabeth, Andrew, and Joseph. I also have an amazing Granny and Papa, plus 5 uncles, 3 aunts, 9 cousins. I love my family!! I am a Christian and completely love my God and church.
My favorite colors are blues, greens, and browns; reminds me of the beach!!! I love frogs!! I love to take pictures of my family, mostly my siblings and cousins. I love to read; Karen Kingsbury is the best with Dee Henderson close behind!!! I sing in my church's choir and the teen choir; I have a wide range but I mostly sing low/mid alto. I love Sunday afternoon walks with my cousins. Jeremy Camp is my all time favorite artist!! His songs have blessed me over and over again. I like some Southern Gospel like um...DAVID PHELPS!!! He is amazing!! At Christmas time, I love to sit back and listen to Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, and the Andrews Sisters.
I think that's enough for now!!!
