LSP!

 

Name: Lumpy Space Princess

Alias: LSP, Lumpy

Age: Unknown

Class: Bunny

Lumpy is the newest edition to the family. My husband bought her for me from the pet store after after constant begging and I love her so much. We don't exactly know how old she is, but she's still a baby. Her first day in the house was pretty rough. She didn't want to eat anything and was too afraid to explore the house. We've had her for almost a week now, and she loves where she lives. The only bad thing however is that she's peed on my bed twice already! What's weird about her is that she NEVER makes any noise! The cats accept her, the dogs still need to get used to her, however. When I let her run around the house, she loves to hide under the table or under my bed, and plays around by running from me when I try to pick her up. She enjoys being outside, but I have to constantly watch her because our outside dog, Toby tries to play with her. Toby is a pitbull and often plays too rough with animals and ends up killing them (RIP all the squirrels). LSP is a very lovable pet and has grown quickly on me. I hope to have her for many more years and that my children to love her as much as I do.

Occupy.....?

So I've recently learned about this Occupy Wall Street ordeal and there's a few comments I have about it. First off, I agree that we should all be treated equal and whatnot, but we are not entitled to jobs. Jobs shouldn't just be given to us, we have to earn them. Another thing, they said, "They have taken our teenagers hostage with tens of thousands of dollars in education debt...that we are entitled to,"... something like that, its not exactly correct. HOWEVER, we are not ENTITLED to education after 12th grade. It is our choice to go to college. The students are the ones who signed the dotted lines on the loan contract, therefore it's not the big corporations and banks fault, its the person who signed it. I also agree with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer thing, but how are you going to make yourself richer if you're sitting there protesting? Would you rather have a sucky job with base pay, or no job at all? Whatever you choose is your decision, not mine.

My grandmother was a manager for CVS Pharmacy when she lost her job (not because of the economy, however, shortly after, the recession hit). What did she do? She didn't just sit there and pout about not having a job; she actually tried to get back on her feet. She didn't have a college education, like most people, but she believed that something is better than nothing. She worked odd jobs, jobs that payed minimum wage, anything to get the bills paid, she worked hard, and how she works as a sales associate for Belk and Brighton, getting monthly bonuses and frequent raises. Its not exactly the same as a management position, but its still something.

I don't really know what I'm trying to say here, but I'll try to explain it. Things are not given to us, we have to go out and earn it. Maybe protesting is their way of trying to get what they want, but it's not mine. I can't complain about the economy. I'm still young, I'm in college and actually getting money back from financial aid, so I don't have to worry about loans or anything. I don't have a job, but I'm looking. I guess that's all I can say for myself. What about you?

So Sleepy

I'm so tired today and I don't understand why! I mean, I went to bed at 10pm--which usually I don't go to sleep until 10:30 or 11-- but I woke up today so tired. I almost fell asleep driving to school today, too. My husband was asleep in the passenger seat, so it wouldn't have helped if I flew into a ditch somewhere either. I haven't felt this sleepy all semester. Usually when I feel tired, I just yawn it off and get on with whatever I'm doing. But today, I felt like I was just about to die. I was fighting off sleep in my History class, which I never do because I'm never terribly tired.

I'm not sure of what to write about today. It's an off day for me, so I guess I'll go now. I'll be sure to write more later. Bye!

I'm Hearing Voices...

I'm sitting outside of my husband's class.... again, and every time I sit out here, I hear everybody talk amongst their friends about some of the most personal things. Often times, there's stuff I really DO NOT want to hear about. I wonder if they know that I'm right around the corner hearing all of this stuff. I'm not necessarily listening to their conversation, but I can hear it, because they're talking fairly loud. What I'm trying to listen to actually is the lecture that's going on in my husbands history class. I honestly think that it's more interesting than the gossip around the corner.

Other than that, on Saturday I went to Stone Mountain with my husbands family for Geico Family Day. I had a lot of fun, other than it being cold-- and I almost slipped as I was walking up the mountain. The walk was very exhilarating, actually. When we were walking up the mountain, our bodies were heating up, and it made the breeze feel really good against my skin. When I finally got to the top, all I wanted to do was take a break! I haven't felt that out of shape in my life. We stayed on the top of the mountain for a while, took pictures, and then finally it came: the dreaded walk DOWN the mountain. It was a lot easier than walking up, but it was still hard for me, because suddenly, my thigh started to hurt! I finally made my way down the mountain, we went to eat, went on the train ride, then finally watched the laser show. Overall it was very fun. I enjoyed myself a lot and now I have a new profile picture for facebook.
