Tomorrow my friend and her family arrives home. And let me just tell you . . . I cannot wait. It has been.... and interesting week, and I hope that they enjoyed their vacation; however, I greatly miss the comfort of my bed, the warm and subtle hatred from my cat, watching t.v. without having to worry about breaking anything, and lastly not having to walk out into the cold to make sure a dog goes to the bathroom every night.
P.S.
My dad is in Ireland. WHAT?!

6 A.M., A Dog, and A Fire Alarm.
Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. This past week I have actually been house-sitting for a friend of mine and taking care of their animals (2 cats, a dog, and a goldfish). Two nights ago we had a brief but powerful storm here that unfortunately, knocked the power out in her house. I've made multiple stops at my house to pick up candles and other power outage supplies after burning through the candles they have here.
This morning, roughly, 6 A.M. The lights flickered on for a moment, then off, then back on and on they are seeming to stay.
This would be great news if the Fire Alarm didn't turn on with the power.
Twice, the fire alarm beeped for a short period then stopped.
Unfortunately for me, My friend is still in Mexico and sound asleep so thus all of my questions and messages go unanswered for now.
Lets just hope the fire alarm stays off, and the lights stay on.

Lyrical Grammar
I was listening to the radio today and a song came on with the chorus that sang "We can run them red lights"; and, it hit me. Why is it necessary to use incorrect grammar in music? If they had sang "We can run those red lights" It would be grammatically correct with the same amount of syllables. So, why not?

I Forgot How To School
I recently got back from visiting Brandon for spring break and let me tell you. I forgot how to school. It was strange having to get directly back into my normal routine. That routine including looking for a job. Job applications are tedious and i do not enjoy them at all.
School is going alright though. If all goes well, I should be graduating in only 4 semesters! It sounds like a short period of time, but each semester is about 3 months! I'm a bit nervous honestly. There's still a lot to do before graduation and I'm nervous I won't be able to make it in my field. My field requires a lot of memorization and has quite a few rules both grammatical and ethical and memory has never been a strong suite of mine. I'm nervous I won't be very good at my career, if I make it that far at all. I still have my Bachelors Degree to get so I still have some time to work on it.
Brandon and I are thinking now about waiting on getting an apartment. We're thinking about having him Dorm for the year while I finish out school and then we can move to the town where I'm getting my BA. The college Brandon is going to has a campus down near that town. It will hopefully help us save some money.

I Was Not The Winner Of "Prints Charming's" Heart
A few posts back, I mentioned that I was entering a contest at http://www.modcloth.com/. The contest name was "Make the Cut: 'Prints' Charming". I was informed today that none of my submissions made the cut. I'm quite disappointed as I was very excited at the opportunity. However, I am glad that I tried.
On March 3rd, 3/3/14, the final 10 dresses that do make it will be opened to what Modcloth names "Be the Buyer" in which the community can vote on the dresses and ultimately choose the winner. I plan on voting and am excited to see the dress designs that made it. I encourage you to check them out! Again, the dresses won't be available to vote on until March 3rd, however, they do have other dresses constantly open to vote on and they can all be found here http://www.modcloth.com/storefront/products/be_the_buyer

PCOS
So for the past few years now, I have actually been having some menstrual problems, (I know this is all what you wanted to read today), and I have been to the doctor before to try and figure out what was going on and tried different things, but today, I finally went to the Gynecologist. I found out I actually have something called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. My gynecologist is putting me on something to regulate my menstrual cycle for now, however, one of the problems that come with PCOS is difficulty conceiving later on in life.
When I went in today I was extremely worried I was going to be told that I couldn't have children. I'm very relieved to find out that that is not the case.
That being said, there's basically three options.
1. I can have children with no problem.
2. I require medical assistance whenever I want to have children
or
3. I can't have children.
While I'm relieved that I still have a chance, I'm still not sure what will happen. I am glad, though, that I finally know what is going on with my body.
P.S.
I really want to have a baby girl someday.

Modcloth Contest
Hey Guys!
I'm super excited. Why? Great Question!
One of my favorite websites, Modcloth ( http://www.modcloth.com/ ) Which is an online vintage clothing store and more, is putting on a contest! The contest is for anyone who wants to submit a new design for a dress. They provide the template and you have to come up with the print. Whoever wins receives a free dress with their pattern, Modcloth will sell the winning design (with your name on the label) and the winner even receives $500!
I'm excited because I'm going to submit some designs. I'm not sure if I'm going to win, I'm not getting my hopes too high, but, I'm excited because I'm trying.
On top of all of this, Brandon is coming up on the 12th and staying until the 17th! I can't wait to see him again. It's been just about 2 months since I saw him last. It is extremely hard and painful not to see him for so long. He makes me happy.
For Valentines day we're thinking about going to the Planetarium, the Museum, and then out for dinner. What do you think?
'Till next time!
