I HATE SNOW

Ok so I live in Seattle...IT NEVER SNOWS HERE...ok well on occasion it does but it never lasts long. We have had snow for a week now and I am so damn sick of it....AND we are getting more tomorrow and it is supposed to be like a hurricane through here this weekend.


So today my sister and I decided to take the bus and do some shopping. That was all fine. We walked to the bus (when I almost died 5 times slipping on ice). We got to the mall and all was well. We had the loverly CPK for lunch then the shop til you drop began.

We got to the "drop" point in our shopping excursion so we decided to catch the bus and go home. Well we get to the bus stop and learn that it had not come in over an hour. So we wait and wait and wait...til it gets dark and below 20 degrees. There was no way to figure out the time it was supposed to come so we walk down the hill thinking it changed its route. We almost had to stay in downtown overnight because I thought it would never come.

FINALLY we get on the bus...I almost hugged the driver. Now I am home and almost too warm..

Hopefully the weather doesnt happen the way they say!

Have a safe drive home Liana....

My Mother

God love the woman. She does so much for us but sometimes I feel as though she wants us to feel guilty for what she does for us.

It is probably safe to say that since the day I was born we have been at war. Like I am not even kidding. We can get a long great for weeks at a time then some little smart comment from her or even me at times (that was hard to admit) sets it all off.

Like last night for example. There I was minding my own business on the couch watching trashy TV (Real Housewives of OC and that new show Mommas Boys) and she is like "oh I think you should go to bed." I am almost 21 freakin years old...I am pretty sure I dont need to be told when to go to bed. Then she sits down and changes the channel (Mind you we have like a million TVs in our house because we all watch too much of it). So then we get into this huge argument and she says that she is going to take my loan money for school and I will have to figure it out on my own...Now if I had a dollar for everytime she has said that in the last 2 years I would be a wealthy woman.

Now I love my mom dont get me wrong but she is crazy. Actually I think we are the same person and we just arent compatible. This isnt something new but I am almost to the point where Im just done with it. They are leaving next fall and after that I really would have no reason to visit her if my dad werent around.

So we will see
Why do moms and daughters not get along?

New Year's goals

So one of my new year's goals is to lose at least 15 lbs by my birthday in May. I find this to be pretty reasonable given that would be 3 lbs a month.

I find that the people on this blog have the same worries and face the same obstacles that I do while trying to lose weight.
I was an athlete in high school so that 6 days a week working out for 2+ hours a day for almost every week of the year...so it is safe to say I was pretty in shape
Then I went to college...

This has turned out to be harder then I expected. I completely stopped working out + the eating crappy foods didnt help either. But I have lost almost half of what I have gained in the past 1.5 years so I am on the right track.

Now this next quarter starting in Jan. I have no reason whatsoever not to go to the gym. I have 2 days off during the week and I dont start classes until the mid afternoon.

My only problem is my cravings for everything bad for you.

I am a big snacker...and I have been pretty good about what I buy but it is not good enough.

Any suggestions on good snacks..because I don't see myself stopping that. We all need to eat when we are hungry...just eat healthy things!


OK now that the rant is over..ha

Enjoy your day!!
Chelsea

Sooo

I have been pretty much sitting on my ass for the past 5 days.
For the following reasons:
1. There is like 2 inches of snow/ice outside and we refuse to drive anywhere
2. It is break after all
3. I have all of the dvds of LOST season 4...and I am almost done :(
4. Because I feel like it

I would love for it to stop being 15 degrees outside so I can actually enjoy my break. I wasnt able to go to the things I wanted this weekend because it has been hell trying to get out of the neighborhood. Since when does it snow here?

Well I have no clue what to get my sister for her 18th bday in a few days...I guess I can come up with something!

I am so proud of myself for this quarter's grades so far!! Hopefully the last one will be better than I expect!

Have a great Monday!

Chelsea

Home Home Home

I cannot believe that quarter went by as fast as it did! Thank goodness it is over!

We got our Christmas Tree today and it is soo cute. We are into the small ones that no one else buys. Although I had to over rule my sisters idea to get a big one...but it would simply not fit in the car. Ha

We decorated it tonight and now that it is supposed to SNOW this weekend I guess it really will feel like winter/Christmas.

By the way I HATE snow! I cannot stand being out in the cold and wet snow...it drives me nuts.

Well maybe I will try to take a pic of the tree soon and put it up here!!

Have a great Friday!!

Chelsea

Now it is officially break!!

So now that I am done with finals I get to go home!
My dad is picking me up this afternoon...then we are getting our Christmas tree!

I can't wait to be home for:
-Getting to see my girlies
-Christmas party at a friends this weekend...I am so excited to be with everyone again
-Seeing my sister
-Working...who doesn't love to make money?
-Sleeping in
-Home cooked meals
-Lounging all day in my jammies...oh wait I do that already!

Have a great Wednesday!

Chelsea

Soo close

Well it is Sunday night and I have only 2 finals in the way of Winter Break!

This weekend was relaxing all the while I got things done!


What is something you are looking forward to over the next few weeks?

For me I am excited to be with my family and hang out with my besties!!

Have a great week!
Chelsea

So I don't believe I have really introduced myself....

So I am totally procrastinating so I am going to write a long blog to keep me distracted from FINALS...ugh


So I have had this blog for a month or two and I don't think I have said much about who I am...so here we go (with pictures!)

My name is Chelsea


I was born in Alabama...ROLL TIDE...this was my house in good ole Mooresville...


One day I am going to buy that house from the current owners...I would love to raise my children there

But now I live in the great PNW...technically Seattle


Isn't is beautiful!

I enjoy listening to almost every kind of music...especially:


So there is a little bit about me...

Now I should probably get back to studying!

Chelsea

This week is half over..YAY!

Now that we are past that excitement...

I have a final on Friday that I am proud to say I have started studying for! You see if this was the non productive, I dont care me at this point I wouldnt have even printed out the study guide yet. BUT I am almost done with it...phew

Does anyone else watch Real Housewives of Orange County? I love it... I know I know.
So I was reading something online and I saw where the new girl Gretchen..you know the really pretty one..her like old man boyfriend DIED...ya I know sad right. I feel so bad for saying and thinking mean things about their relationship...sad times.

Well 1 week until I return home for break...and I cannot even wait.

Have a happy Wednesday!

Chelsea

Lists..

Today has been pretty successful so far...
-I got to sleep in!
-I went to class
-I went to the gym! yay!
-And now I guess I should study...ugh

So I have come up with my New Years ResolutionS..yes the "s" is bigger because there are more than one
1. To go to the gym more, eat better, and lose weight by my 21st...May 24th
-that is 5 months so that should be plenty of time to get to my goal
2. Become more independent and a strong woman..I mean I will be 21
3. Come to terms with growing up...I really dont want to though
4. Be happy for my parents and their new adventure...across the country...but it is for the better of my family..
5. Be more of a happy person...


So I know it is kinda early to write these down..and it is possible not to follow any of them but we shall see huh?


Have a great Tuesday!
Chelsea

I think I have this picture thing down?

So this week is gonna be filled with lots of studying...and hopefully lots of sleep.

I am proud to say that I think I am on the upswing with some of my grades which is just what i need!

To get me through this week here are some things I am looking forward to:

• Gossip Girl tonight! I can't help it I am addicted
• As well as the Hills...I know I know
  

The one thing I don't mind spending my money on...







And my daddy's birthday on Saturday
...I wish I could be there...it will be the 3rd year in a row I cannot be there. Then next year with them gone it is going to be even harder.
I got him a good card though so that is what counts! He is a simple man and Hoops and Yoyo from Hallmark make him smile!




Also I cannot wait for the SEC Championship game Saturday!!! GO BAMA!


This is my way of procrastinating so I should go get stuff done before TV!

Night!
Chelsea

It's a white t kinda day

My sister always has cool new clothes when I come home...so I steal them! Ha

She had a pack of plain white t's on her bed so I "borrowed" a couple.


I cannot believe it is December already...time is flying by so fast...but that is nice kind of.

It is Monday..10 days til the quarter is over...yay!!

Have a great Monday and a good week!!

Chelsea

I just dont want break to end

As much as I sometimes dread being at home I am kind of enjoying it this time!

It has been so lazy and I am loving it! Today has been spent going to the gym (yay!) and now watching football (GO BAMA!).

9 days until Christmas break...kind of pathetic. Who needs to take finals anyway

I am ready to get back, bust out the tests and then come home again..

Hopefully everyone had a fun and safe holiday and is ready for Christmas!

Chelsea

I love being home!

So I got home yesterday late afternoon and I feel like I have already done so much!

I got to see one of my oldest and best friends in the world. It was great seeing her and kind of getting back into the groove of things again. It was nice just to be able to sit and talk and catch up!

Today though has been a different story. I got to sleep in! And I took a nap. It has been a definite lazy day! I cannot wait for tomorrow and to eat all the yummy food!

Hopefully everyone has a safe and fun Thanksgiving and is with someone they love!

Chelsea

YAY!

Now that the test is over it is time to go home!
I am even more excited now that I am going to hang out with one of my besties tonight!! I cannot wait.
Then tomorrow shopping maybe with Liana
Then it is time to put the feed bag on! I love Thanksgiving

Have a great one!

Chelsea

Almost time to go home!

So as this night dwindles down I realize that I HATE studying. I should be studying for my spanish test tomorrow...but I am following Liana's lead and finding everything to do other than studying

My to do list before tomorrow at 2:
-pack for home!
-study..ugh
-sleep
-get up and study more
-test at 11
-tan
-starbucks...i am in need of a salted caramel hot choc.
-go home!!!

I am so ready for this break. Then it will be one week then finals...even bigger ugh

What is your favorite side dish at Thanksgiving?
Mine is definitely a tie between green been casserole and my daddy's mashed potatoes!

Well Have a great Monday night!

Chelsea

Just another Sunday

While I am procrastinating on my homework I thought I would blog about my weekend!

Well friday night was pretty uneventful..ha
Saturday was the Apple Cup up here in Washington. I really wish I could tell you what is happening with football up here but I dont know....I love my Huskies but I will just have to wait until next year to brag about them...at least I still have BAMA
...then one of my besties surprised me and came up here for the day...we went and had ice cream and hung out..it was nice to see her and her bf!
Then today has just been non stop busy. I feel like I havent even had time to sit for more than like 5 mins....even though I have. Laundry...lunch...homework...choir concert (my roomies are in the school choir)...dinner..homework/facebook. I want to go to bed but it isnt even 7.

Well only 2 days of school this week then TURKEY DAY! oh man I cannot wait!

Have a great week and a happy Monday!

Chelsea

TGIF

So I am all signed up for my classes next quarter! Thankfully I was able to get everything that I needed! I am going to have too much free time though I think. So I am looking for a job close to school and my apartment or a volunteer job. If that falls through I will be studying mucho and gyming it up way more! Gotta look good for my 21st in 6 months!

That is a whole different topic...the gym
I feel as though I have a love hate relationship with it. Like I love going there and the feeling after you work out. But I have to admit I hate getting ready to go and there seem to be way more people there this year than last. I was in a good groove the first month of school but haven't gone that much recently. And I am starting to get back into my bad eating habits...gah

Sushi was fun last night!! It was way better than I expected...even though it wasn't really raw fish! We have to go again soon!

This weekend should be nice and relaxing...football saturdays! GO HUSKIES...yes I know UW has not won a game yet this year...tear...but I am pretty 100% sure they can win tomorrow! I may have just jinxed it though!

It is time for din din then maybe bed early...I feel as though I am 50


Night!
Chelsea

This might just be PMS talking but....

I feel so out of place sometimes in my room. Like I really enjoy the people I live with but sometimes I just feel like they think they are better than me. Since I am not as "Christian" as them or whatever I dont have the right to do somethings. I feel like all of the blame get put on me for somethings when it is an apartment and everyone has the same duties to keep the place clean. Dont get me wrong they are great...it could be worse...but I am just at the tipping point I think. Like seriously who makes a batch of brownies for a friend and then doesnt give them to the person til like a week later? Then when someone eats because I thought they were for everyone you get hella pissed...even though there are like 10 left? I dunno I guess I am just not that teritorial over food. Some people just amaze me with the way they live there life
...like she says that she is a born again Christian and she reads the Bible everyday and goes to Church yet she sleeps with her boyfriend...and talks about it(rude) and smokes pot and drinks frequently. I think that is a little bit hypocritical. No? Im not saying that being a Christian is wrong because I am a Catholic but really that just seems like disrepectful to me.
Maybe I am just overreacting and getting used to them but I just feel ganged up on sometimes. It is just a damn browine...I will make you a new one if you want...GAH


..oh well getting out for din will be nice...too bad it is raining and hella nasty out....GAH



... 5 days

Another rainy day

Well it is safe to say that I thought the weather this week was too good to be true. Although cold it has been absolutely beautiful out. Now it is rainy and windy and all that mess. I guess that is what I get for living in the great PNW. I think I need to move to Hawaii.

Well I am off to my one class of the day then trying to get back into a gym routine...ha

Have a great Thursday! GREYS!

I always think that something different will happen...but it doesnt

I think I am cursed.

I feel like everytime I make a new friend at school they always leave. So a few weeks ago one of my roomies brought over this new guy she met...at the bus stop no less. It turned out we know a lot of the same people from home so that was nice! He got along with all of us so well he was kind of like our little brother. He is a really cool guy and super sweet...definitely not my kind of guy but a nice friend. He is one of those guys that you just know he is from a family of all girls cause he is just sooo nice and respectful of everyone. So the other night my roomie gets a concerning text from him and goes over to check on him to make sure he is ok. Turns out he was just really down on himself but we thought he would be ok. Yesterday we took him to the train station on our way out to dinner for my other roomies bday. At the time I really didnt know what was going on I just thought he was going home for a couple of nights. So we get out of the car wish him luck and give him hugs. Then we get back in the car and K starts telling us that he has bi-polar disease and had not been to the doctor in a while and that we should all be worried about him. I NEVER saw this coming. I mean I dont know him too well but it is something that I have not been personally exposed to. It hurts my heart that he is going through this kind of alone.
I just hope everything goes well for him and that he gets the help that he needs and will be back up here to complete our apartment again cause I know that we will miss him a lot!



Well that was kind of depressing....


Other than that I cannot wait for turkey day to come so I can be home and see all my friends that are off at school...and that means that this quarter is almost over!!

Have a great rest of the week



Chelsea

Happy Monday!

So I know this might be silly that i just figured this out....but I LOVE that you can get radio stations on iTunes. It makes me happy cause then I dont have to change songs myself. They always have to best selections...at least of country. I am in such a country music mood recently. For some reason I feel that I dont have to pose to like country....maybe cause deep down inside I am a country girl!!

This week is going to be chill with school...THANK GOD....then it will be time for finals...BOO

I dont even know what I want for christmas...and my madre keeps asking..ahh!
..im thinking a new pair of warm and fuzzy uggs..or a new warm coat..or both!

Well it is going to be fettucini for dindin!!

Wow!

I cannot believe how fast time is going by! It makes me excited though for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
I am exited to sign up for classes...just as much as I am excited to get done with this quarter.
Since when have we become adults? Gah I cant believe it!!

I dont have much to say but I just wanted to get out my excitement!!!

Have a great week!

Proud to be an American

Now I know that some may not be happy with the turnout of the election but I guess that is why we have these elections. If you voted...good for you...if not(if you are of age) then you have no right to complain about the outcome.

I am so proud to be able to say that my first vote was for the first black president of the US. I cannot believe how long it has taken for us to do that. To see what many people have gone through just to be recognized as people in this country now it all makes sense to me. I am ready for change..although I am reluctant to think that it will happen as soon as people want it...and I am excited to see what is to come in the future. I am very proud of the fact that record numbers of people got out there to have their voices heard.

As we go on all we can do now is come together as one and try to put aside our differences to unite and fix the mess we have going on in our country and the world today. I want to be able to support my future family and my parents like they have supported me. I want to be able to live in a world that respects me for being an American. I want people to be seen and treated as equals no matter how they choose to live their lives. I want to remember this day forever and now I can say that I had a part in it!


God Bless America

I love new music!

If I were a Boy by Beyonce is my new favorite song at the moment. As much as I dislike her sometimes this song just has something about it that I really like!
It has been such a lazy week for me. I just dont want to do anything.
I really want to make some fancy meal but I really dont want to clean it up! haha


Well it is getting that time to watch Elf...yes I know it's only halloween. So Im gonna go make sure that I have it!

Geez

I would have been on here way more this past weekend if my computer wasnt messed up...gah.
I think there is something wrong with my internet explorer and how it reacts to the computer turning on and off...oh well.
I cannot believe that in one week we will know who our new president is! I also cant believe that I VOTED! ahhhhh
Well it is like 4 days till halloween and I 1. Have nothing to do. 2. Have no where to go....so looks like ill be reading homework and having some quality time with ben and jerry on friday night!


Hopefully everyone's weekend went well!

I have to do it!

Below are the rules.

1. Link to the person that tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is UP

Random Facts:
1. I love to be silly even when im by myself
2. Sometimes I talk to myself out loud especially when I have done something stupid
3. I never wear my hair down..never
4. As of a few weeks ago I have told myself that I will always wear nail polish so I dont chew my nails...even if it is clear.
5. My Uggs are my favorite shoes in the Fall/Winter
6. Things like energy drinks and coffee make me go to sleep instead of keeping me awake!

My decision is...

Ok so I am 20 years old and a junior in college..gah.
My parents are moving next fall and I am scared to death. I want what is best for my dad and for my family but I dont think I could stay here without them. I know I already live away from them but only like an hour away. Now they will be 2000 miles away. I like to think that I am a very independent person but in all reality I do depend on them a lot. I have said I am not going to go back with them but the more that I think about it the more I feel obligated to. My younger sister is picking colleges and I feel that this is impacting her choices. Depending on what she wants and where she gets in will def change my mind on things. But at this point I think I have made up my mind. I am choosing to go with them. At least try and transfer to a school close to them or the same distance that I am now. This could just be a rash decision and me being crazy but I think it would cause me less stress.

Now I love college but not necessarily the one I go to now. I dont know many people(although the ones I do know are awesome)and I feel that everytime I make a friend they leave. As I sit here on the brink of tears I know everything will work itself out and no matter what happens I know that this is the best for my parents. I dont know where I would be without them and they really need this.

I guess it is time to be an adult and make adult decisions. I never wanted it to come to this because I never wanted to go back but I think it's the only option at this point.


So you dont have to read this or understand my situation cause this is not it in its whole at all....I just needed to get this out of my head and I dont really know if I have anyone that will understand. I guess this is what a blog is for!

Chelsea

Pumpkin Spice Coffee

This is my favorite thing in the fall!
Gosh I cant believe in 2 weeks we will find out who our new president will be! It is exciting yet scary at the same time.

So I have no plans for Halloween but I still want to dress up. Nothing skanky but something fun...and no ideas...hopefully one will come to me!

So if you haven't checked it out yet go to Pandora.com. It is amazing...I listen to it all day long!

Hopefully I will get a lot more things done tonight then I did last night but we shall see!

YAY!

Ok so I have to admit my friend brought this up to me and now I am going to be addited to it. This is kind of exciting and now I just have to figure out fun things to write!
