THE END!

WOW! I have finally made it to my 25th blog post! I'm kind of excited to be honest. I know I had to start this blog for a class and I was baffled on how on earth I would get 25 post but I did it :).

My junior year at MSJ has ended and to me it went fast. Its exciting to be entering my senior year in the fall :) Lots of work still has to be done. I need to start thinking ahead on what I might want to do because I need to find and internship for the spring.....OK enough about school for right now!

I wanted to tell you guys about Ian. He has been such a trooper with me through being sick and all of my craziness :)(Im not a good patient) He really is the sweetest guy I know, and even though we are the most stubborn people we still can most of the time find a way to compromise on thing :p lol. In all seriousness I dont know many people that would have did what he did when I was in the hospital-stay with me and hold my hand after being up from ten in the morning till eleven in the morning the next day until my parents made him go go and rest and then he was calling and checking up. Im very happy to have found someone like that and I wanted to share it with everyone. :) Hes a good guy and makes me very happy :D

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT SUMMER GOOD LUCK!

Guiding Light News

Recently, I have read and heard that CBS is canceling the soap that I watch Guiding Light. This soap is one of the longest running soaps that started on the radio in 1937. I have watched this soap as long as I can remember..as well and most of my aunts and my grandpa did. The writing I believe has gotten sloppy but I don't think that the plug needs to be pulled yet. Guiding Light (CBS) needs new writers that will give their actors and actresses good story lines that capture the hearts of their views like they have in the past. Maybe if this was the case we wouldn't be losing some of our good actors and actresses to ABC. CBS needs to listen to the views and get rid of Ellen Wheeler! She has not brought anything to the show and has left the fans angered and upset. CBS needs to know that there is a very strong fan loyalty to the show even if the ratings aren't showing it.

I attached a link if anyones interested in learning more about the show :)

Oh and..... JOSH and REVA forever :)

Maddie!

How cute is this face!?

Maddie is almost 6 months already and out of my 3 dogs she is the funniest to watch. My other 2 dogs are Golden Retrievers (Toby and Sophie) they each weigh 100+ pounds so little 4 pound Maddie has to keep up with the big pups and boy does she do a good job at it.

One of the funniest things however that she does is when im laying on the couch and she wants attention she trys to fight with me by jumping up hitting the couch with her paws and when that doesnt work then the little witch tries and grabs my hair its pretty funny to watch.

Maddie however, is the only one of my dogs that like to chew shoes this week she has made it threw 2 pairs of flip flops...black and brown probably the most worn of my flip flops. I dont understand why she couldnt just go for color. :p

Im sure all be updating you more on the pups as the weather breaks and I will be able to take more pictures outside.

NIGHT!

Shanghai

Shanghai-no I don't mean China...this is a card game that my family has played forever. When my mom was growing up the ladies use to do a card club and play this. Recently, I find myself really enjoying it, even though sometimes it can take 2 hours just to finish. You can play with as many people as you want usually we play with 7 to 10. For 2 people that equals 1 full deck of cards including jokers, each hand you play is different and you play sets and runs>now in this game you can buy cards to help make your set or run and you get 3 a hand except for the last you get an extra. You put in $1.25 and then each hand pays .10cents per person and then lowest score gets the rest of the pot. Cards value you with jokers=50pts, facecards and 10=10pts, A's and 2's=20pts, the rest=5pts. The objective is to go down because you only count the cards left in your hand and you dont really want them to be high cards because your score addes up very quickly. I could compare this game to GIN or500 (Rummy).

My family, cousins, and Ian can get very competive over this game. We laugh and always say "Jesus its just X amount of cents, dont be a score loser" but its not the point were in it to win it :)

Have a great night! Im finally feeling better, I cant wait to I get back to my normal routine.

B. Research

Business Research=Thank God its over :)



Overall I think that it was a good class. I just however waited till the last minute on my last 2 projects so for the lats 2 weeks of school it was crunch time to the max! My first project was just to interview someone tape the interview and then put together a report. This one was very simple and I did well on it. For project 2 we had to pick a publicly traded company and then write a report on it with the information Dr. B wanted. I of course started late on this so I decided to spend a whole day in the library-this was an experience because I had to make copies of everything and when I noticed other people working on it I just started talking to them and getting him (really got me out of my keep to myself mode) The day was long and I ran out of change so Ian came to my rescue and brought me change and gummie worms :) now that's love. For project 3 we were given a whole bunch of numbers we had to configure the data and then present our outcomes to Dr.B in a role playing type gig. This was the hardest for me because I get nervous when I'm one on one AND when I don't know what the heck I'm even talking about. BUT Ian helped me along with some other people like Seth who I thought was going to ring my neck at the end of the week and I did a fantastic job. I went in shaking sat down, "my boss" said tell me what you found in a minute or less. So i went to town I made it seem like I really knew what I was talking about. He was actually impress with my overall performance and said I shouldn't have a problem with being interviewed! I was so excited! I wanted to jump up and down!! Plus not to mention I got an A :).

Another thing that I liked about the class was that test didn't mean everything. I am a horrible test taker-always have and always will. In this class test dont count for everything because your three projects are worth so much more.

THANK GOD ITS SUMMER :)

Bed Rest :(

bed rest...Ugh the worst words. For the past 2 days that what I have been on and it sucks! I like to stay active :( anyways schools over I have to take 2 exams but other than that Thank God for summer!! As for summer plans I'm not exactly sure...IN JUNE Chase turns the BIG 1! which is exciting hes getting sooooo big. We will probably be going to alot of reds games.

In other news Justin got his prom pics developed they are very very cute. I loved his dates dress Ill post a picture. I did however have to report that I couldnt believe some of the dresses the other girls were wearing WOW they needed more material that all I have to say-I was shocked! There were of course the guys that wanted to be goofy and wear crazy color tuxes like a red one.
Erin and Justin-Prom 2009

Now time for some much needed rest. I hate not being able to sleep on my side or stomach :(

Hospital

So Friday was a rather crazy day went to school...came home and ran some prom errands for my little brother (the florist messed up his dates flowers) any who the whole week I have had a pain in my right side well really for almost two weeks. Well that night around 10 it got so bad I made Ian take me to the hospital. I hate hospitals so I really didnt want to go i just wanted something to make the pain go away so I went to Mercy-everyone in my family told me NOT to go there that they wouldnt even take their dogs there. yeah so thats where we ended up. I got to the ER at 11:04 now when you check in you dont talk to anyone you fill out a paper with your name birthday and what brings you in. Well if i knew what was good for me i should have made my pain sound serious since the guy calling people back was taking EVERYONE in front of me. So I waited in the waiting room for 2 hours before I even got to talk with someone. Well once I did the guy finally gave me a bed. Getting a bed let me tell you doesnt mean much. anyways I layed there forever then a cartoon looking doc came in to check me over he suspected my gallbladder, appendix,or ovaries. So needless to say I had to get a CT scan. Well after he said that about a half hour later (2:45AM) the nurse brings this huge cup of white drink in that I have to finish then wait an hour before I can get the scan I'm like well this is hell. So i do it all around 4:45 I get my scan and I'm thinking this couldn't get worse. Well it did!!! the doc comes in around 5:30 and goes your appendix is swollen you will need to get that out today and the surgeon well be here around 7 and then you will get surgery we have to find you a room. So the nurse comes in starts an IV and antibiotic gets me all prepped. They finally got me a room on the 4th floor and for those who don't know that is the "adults with behavioral problems (aka psych floor) but it was the only place with a bed. So the nurse gives me the agenda and tells me that my surgeon just left at 2am so she probably wouldn't be back till 9 or 10 I'm thinking this is not what the ER doc said. so I waited there mind you I couldn't sleep at all and poor Ian hadn't been to bed either.

The surgeon finally comes in around 10:30 she was nice but says plans change your not getting a surgery we think a cyst on your ovary broke so we need you to get another blood test to see if the white count went down and get an ultrasound and then monday you have to see another doc . NOW i was happy and mad at the same time. I hadnt ate since 8 last night and since i was getting surgery they werent letting me eat anything or have ice chips and I was starving. 2nd they said my appendix was enlarged sooo what about my appendix now? I just wanted to get out of the hospital so they keep me there forever till I finally said since you guys arent doing anything for me and im still in pain can I just leave. and so the nurse cleared me and I left.

Moral of the story dont go to Mercy hospital! and now im still in pain and dont know which one is the right diagnosis.
