Isn't she adorable!

Isabel Grace Clay
Today we got our adoption referral. Our baby is soo cute. She doesn't look very Asian and she is somewhat bald, but she is still cute. My mom is crazy for wanting another child. I have been trying to talk her out of it since she started the process, but now is the point where I have to shut up and start supporting her. She already has the papers signed and mailed.

Attack of the Rat Man!
I watch this video all the time. Each time it makes me laugh until I cry. It is soo funny.
Well guess what. I have my family reunion this weekend ( I totally forgot) so the Cheesecake factory is a no, unless you want to go on Thursday night. My party isn't until Friday, so Thursday is good with me or we can wait to go next weekend. It is up to you.

If You Were to Die Today Would You be Happy With Your Life Achievements?
I stole sun glasses from Target... It happened on accident. I was looking at the Clearance items, and I found sunglasses that I liked. I was holding them in my hand for a long time, but then I wanted to pick something up so I hooked the glasses to my purse. Well...I forgot all about them. I went through the line, walked out the door, drove home and still didn't realize they were hooked to my purse.
Two days later I found the sun glasses in my my floor half way under my seat. At first I thought they were Lauren's, but then I saw the tag. My heart dropped. My body felt cold and hot at the same time.
What am I supposed to do? Take them back to the store two days later and say, "I stole these and now I have decided to pay for them." Yeah Right!I feel like a criminal. Did the alarm go off in the store? Did anyone see me?

Whew!
This weekend was a really long one. Lauren's graduation party was this weekend, so I helped my parents prepare for the party. I had lots of fun. I played three games of volleyball, played in the pool, and talked to my family. I ended up getting sun burned. It's not an oww that hurts burn, but rather a hah I will be tan in a few days kind of burn.
This week I only have to work today. It's going to be a long day. I hope too many people aren't calling me on the phone and cussing at me. Great the phone is ringing... Regina my boss answered, so far so good.
My dad made an offer on 30+ acres of land last week. He is supposed to be contacted this week to see if we get it or not. The land is so pretty. There is a stream that cuts through the front, we will have to build a bridge to get across. There is enough room for a pond and to ride our four wheelers. My dad said that if he got the land he would sell his Harley. "They are too dangerous. I don't want to get killed right in the middle of a big change and leave your mother alone to handle it." I thought it was cute...
Well I better get back to work. Not that there is a lot to do.

What else can I say?
I haven't written in a while. I want to write but I am not sure what to write or I suppose I'm not sure of how to go about writing what I am truly feeling.
I check on my blog often. I come to visit and re-read things I wrote in my past, I check to see if I have comments, but most of the time I stare at the screen wanting so badly to spill my secrets and deep feelings. I never do.
Sometimes I check on my blog to see if anything new has been written, not necessarily comments but posts. I know there will be nothing but I check often... daily. Weird...Well, I know I am...
Lately, I have been disappointed in people. It's not necessarily their fault either. I just don't feel like I have the support I want and need. I always try to support people. And if I believe they are doing the wrong thing I try to give my input. I always welcome input. I may not listen or may get a little mad at first but in the end I always appreciate it. Mostly because people think differently, they may see a possible outcome that you did not. If they support what you are doing then they can make you feel more comfortable about your decisions. I suppose that's why I'm disappointed because I don't feel comfortable.

####Ashley's####Life####
Lately I have felt that I have a void in my life. Like I'm not complete. I'm not sure what to do with this void. I have tried to feel it with many things: family, friends, food, school; but none work. In respect I feel like a failure. Being a "failure" doesn't make me depressed or angry like you would assume, but mostly I feel on edge and unsettled.
I feel like I have no direction in my life. One day I want this and the next something totally opposite, and each day I feel totally content with my decisions. I suppose you can just call me a girl or immature.

Ramblings of a bored student worker
Hi!
I got my work schedule for the next few weeks and I have less hours, but that doesn't bother me any.
I keep getting the hic-ups.
I'm so bored right now! Stuck at work with nothing to do... Well I could be studying but we know that's not going to happen. I'm so bored I'm sleepy! I want a raspberry white chocolate mocha!
It's funny how you can't tell how much time has passed for me by reading this. I was just on the phone for 7m and 39s with a student who told me her life story and how she hated her aerobics professor and how she needed to talk to someone to get her prof in trouble. grr... The name Students Services is just a big advertisement to students wanting any type of service. We should rename our office "can't find that here" or "that's upstairs".
Ok I'm done rambling! I have no more energy to ramble or I would keep going.

DaRn It!
Today I was thinking about postcards. Don't ask! I have no idea why. I just realized that the postcard I sent my family from Canada never made it to them. That makes me much sad. I hate the mail system! Grrr!
I have to do a project on the Savanna for one of my classes. I've decided to play a clip from The Lion King. I think the part where Simba has taken his spot as king and the land that was on fire is put out by the rain and all the bad and evil is washed away will be a good clip. I love that movie it makes me cry everytime. I'm also going to try and find some cookie cutters shaped like the animals of the savanna and make some sugar cookies to pass out. Some times it's great being an early education major because I get to act like a big kid.
Toots for now!

"Do you like my sweater?"
My head hurts... I'm so stressed! College, at times, sucks!
In all of my classes I have group presentations and/or reports. Why do professors save huge projects for the end of the semester? It is stupid especially if they expect the students to actually try and do a good job. Most people blow off end of the semester projects. I know I'm half tempted, but there is the issue of trying to get into the Cohort. Miami University Oxford... *insert bad thoughts*
Ok that's enough sulking over the inevitable.
Something happy...? Anything... Aha I know: I went to see my baby cousin,Jenna, last night. She is around 30 days old. She is so beautiful. I love her to death, already. The last time I saw her she slept the whole time, but last night she was awake most of the time. She has beautiful blue eyes.
I'm so hungry I haven't eaten all day. I want a big Marble Mocha Maciatto and a cinnamon scone. Too bad I'm poor.

Now that's Yummy!
I have been waiting for a day just like this. You walk outside and immediately you feel the warmth of the sun. Yummy!
Today was the etiquette luncheon. I learned how to eat and talk like an upper-class person.
Today was the etiquette luncheon. I learned how to eat and talk like an upper-class person.
I actually learned a lot of new networking (conversation), formal dining, and dressing for success tips. I now can dine in a five star resturant and not feel overwelmed and uncomfortable. If only I was certain that I would get to use these new tips.
Well I better get back to work or they will fire me!

So far so good
I took my test today. It was interesting to see how different the questions were. They were easier.
I thought I was going to fail the reading because I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't concentrate because I left my phone in my pocket. And as you know that is a big no no. They have you lock all of your things up so you can't cheat or copy the test, and if they would have seen my phone they would have freaked.
I got there at 8:00 and the doors were still locked so I stood around. At 8:10 I took my phone out to see what time it was. All of a sudden the lady opened the door in my face, so I put my phone in my pocket so she wouldn't see that I was checking the time. I went in and filled the paperwork out, they locked up my belongings and I started the reading portion of the test. About half way through I put my hand in my pocket and felt my phone. I got this sickening feeling in my stomach and I felt hot and cold at the same time. I couldn't think of anything else.
Did I turn it off? If it does ring I can hit the button on the side and mute it. If they catch me will they forbid me to take the test ever again? Will I have to switch my major? OK calm down Ashley just get through the reading and raise your hand to go to the restroom... that was my decision. Wait. The whole second half of the test my mind was racing. When I finished I raised my hand and asked,"May I go to the restroom?"
she said, "make it quick."
I said, "I'll need to get in my locker."
"why?"
"It's that time of the month."
"Fine"
I went to the restroom and put my phone in my purse and washed my face. I felt like a felon. I got over it. Went back to the test and did well.
I passed my math by 7 points and my reading by 2 points. Now I have to play the waiting game to see what I get on the Writing portion. Hopefully I did well.
I have that heavy feeling lifted from my shoulders... for now... until I start writing my essay and catch up on my school work. For the next couple of days I'm going to do nothing besides watch my blockbuster movies! Yours, mines and ours, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, and Poltergeist. Weird selection.

ReLiEnT k!
YaYnEsS! Tomorrow is the Relient K concert. It's a bit of happiness entwined with all of this chaos. I want to buy a shirt. Will they have one in my size? For now I'm going to stay optimistic. Sarah gets to go backstage and meet them. I'm jealous, but not too jealous becuase I would feel way uncomfortable and wouldn't know what to say.
Last night I signed up for Blockbuster online. I already have 55 movies on my Queue. Wonder how long it takes to get the first set of movies?
I'm nervous about the Praxis, but I'm sure you are sick of hearing about it. The more I study the worse I feel becuase I realize how much I don't know. I, I, I, I, ok enough.
Sorry I didn't call you after CSI. I felt to sleepy. I'll call you today.
Peace Out

A poem
Life
By: Me :)
Oak tree helicopter flying madly,
Slowly falling, oh so sadly,
Dead in time, in space, in reason,
Forgotten with the change of season.

!Hola!
I got my movies in the mail today! YaY!! I was very surprised that I got them this early, Harry Potter just came out on Tuesday, I was betting that they would come while I was in Canada and that would have made me disappointed. YaY!
Work is going by so slowly! I am sooo bored and I'll be right here again tomorrow! I hate working past 5 because there are few students who come in.
I started cleaning my room last night. I like work that you can see a dramatically different end. You can say "I did that!:)" It makes me feel good that I did something. Maybe that's why I keep my room such a mess? Probably not. My mom always says I keep my room a mess just to make her mad, and it's my way to have something on her. Whatever!
I can't wait until Spring Break! Relaxation! No school, No Ben, No loudness, No homework, No work, .... ahhh ;) Nature, prettiness, Sarah, Books, ...

The countdown has started
5 days left until we start off to Niagara Falls. Way exciting! I have so much to do before we leave. Like laundry, cleaning, packing, figuring out what to pack, getting money from bank, shopping for snacks, figuring out what snacks to take, things to do (entertainment) for the car ride, and etc...
So, if you don't hear from me until I leave don't get too worried. I'm just a little stressed. For no reason.
Toots! Ash

The calm after the storm
Today I feel happy.
This week I have read three books. My first and favorite of the three was Goddess of the Rose. It was goood! The second was The Giver. I last time I read the Giver was in fifth grade and I was made to read it so I didn't really "read" it. When I went to the library I saw it in the juvenile section and wanted to reread it. It was good, but not as good as I thought it would be. ? I think they should make a movie about it?. The third was the first book to The chronicles of Narnia. It was also good. I feel like a little kid reading books for little kids.
I feel like a nerd because I have been carrying a book around with me all week.
We get to go shopping today! That will be exciting! I hope we can find some really good books on C.D. It would make our long drive to Niagara Falls more pleasurable.
I'm thinking of skipping class on Saturday. I'm just so bored in there and I want a free Saturday. Talking of Saturday my aunt is having her babyshower. I would like you to come if you want and it doesn't interfere with other plans. My mom and I are going shopping afterwards to buy stuff for Spring Break, so if you want to come. ;)
Well I better get back to work or they will fire me. jk
