My Birthday!!!

Yay!! Today is my 21st birthday and I feel no older than yesterday... However, I am going to buy my first drinks tonight with my friends, so that is fun. I have had a wonderful birthday so far. I was productive at work this morning, I got a nice card from the people I work with, and my friends Carrie and Liz were so nice and got me wonderful presents. It is a beautiful day outside and my homework is minimal, so I am pretty much happy. I do have to go work with small children and their parents who worship them for 4 hours this afternoon, but hopefully that will go better than I am imagining. I love all my friends, family, and especially my boyfriend David. Thanks for making my b-day great!!

Finally normal,

Me opening presents at home

Whew!!

Thank God it is over!! I took my first Latin test today. I spent all day on Saturday studying for it. Literaly, from noon until 11:30 that night, so by this morning I didn't care if I passed or not, I just wanted to get it over with!!! The test ended up not being all that bad, but I have no idea how well I did. We'll see! Well, time to start on my presentation. The school-type fun just doesn't stop....

My new obsession!

Right now I am doing some heavy listening to Coheed and Cambria. I found out about them through David's friend Adam, and they are amazing! It is deep, which I like. Their new CD just came out on Tuesday, and Adam was at Best Buy when it opened to buy it, so I am supposed to be downloading it on my computer later tonight, and I am pretty excited! They are playing in Austin in October, but it is in the middle of the week, so I probably can't go, which sucks. I would recommend listening to their song "Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3." It is my favorite so far. You can visit their website at www.coheedandcambria.com. Check em' out!

A Soggy Weekend...

This week has been pretty stressful, and now a hurricane is coming. Yeah! Tonight I treated myself to a trip to the mall and a tube of very expensive Clinique lipgloss to take the edge off. Baylor has cancelled classes for Friday, so I am going home to ride out the storm tomorrow night. It makes me sad because this is the weekend I am supposed to celebrate my birthday with my family, but I will be trapped indoors instead. We will be together, and that is the improtant thing, so it should be a good birthday anyway. I hope everyone keeps safe!

I Made It!!!

This weekend I completed the first real, actual, I am going to use it in real life thing I have ever made. It is a big purse to hold all of my crap that I have to carry around, and it will be my backpack and purse all in one, all the time. I went to the fabric store, picked out the pattern, picked out the fabric, and sat down in my mom's sewing room and made it. I am so proud! Even though the patten does not call for it, I put in about five extra pockets just for fun and because I have so much random stuff I feel I cannot live without at any given moment. I am not even going to go into the fact that I could not buy a purse that I felt held all my stuff and how sad that is, but whatever. I am excited about using it, and besides a few finishing touches, it is good to go!! I will be taking orders for more starting at $200.00 (just kidding, but really, if you want one, lets talk).

Glad to be done,
Mary Beth

This week has been absolutely insane!! I am president of an organization. This means my life is nutso. I was president of an organization once before and I promised myself I would never do it again, but here I am. I guess I thrive on the pressure. It is my boyfriend's birthday this weekend, and he will be 22. We will be celebrating big time at the Olive Garden. Wo hoo!! He loves World of Warcraft, and for those of you who know what that is you understand the obsession. I don't understand, but he loves it, so I support, mainly by yelling. Happy birthday to my Davy!

In all seriousness,
Mary Beth
