Tina's Life as She Knows It

my head is going explode

Oh my goodness. I have NEVER been so hung over in my life. This morning I woke up and could barely move. I've been drunk numerous times but never this bad. I needed medication and to just sleep the day away.
Yesterday was Crystal's bacchlorette party. We had fun. We made t-shirts to wear out to the bars, we had glo-sticks, we had leis, we had a bouquet of suckers for suck-for-a-buck, we drank before we left the house, Kassy and Crystal rode the bull, and I danced with a complete stranger who made me feel his ass. We went to many bars and talked to many guys whose reaction to an attractive girl getting married was more along the lines of, "so you're never gonna have sex again, that sucks." And all this time I thought you got to have sex once you got married. Oh wait, that's just me...
I had a blast, but there is a reason that I don't go out and drink like that very often. All of Sunday was pretty much spent sleeping, trying to sleep, or sitting in the dark wishing I was still asleep. Ahh, that memories I will have for years and years of Crystal's send off into wedded bliss. And we still have a week to get everything organized for the actual ceremony. Man, I love my friends but there's a good reason you only get married once.

AHHH! Why now!?

A new post... now that is news worthy!

These past few weeks have been super hectic for me. If anyone has talked to me at all its been either to RSVP for a bridal shower, late at night when I should be sleeping, or in the car during my many many trips across the great state of Idaho.

This past weekend I though a bridal shower for my friend Crystal who is getting married on the third of March. It turned out really well, it was just really stressful for me since I had to plan it in Idaho Falls and have the shower at my parents in Boise. I don't recommend doing something like that long distance. Which also meant I had to drive to Boise after work on Friday and then come back home on Sunday. I didn't even pull into my driveway until 9:30pm on Sunday. I like to have some downtime before going to sleep, so that was not great for me either.

This next weekend I am headed to Twin Falls, again, for another bridal shower. I promised the bride I would drive up. (see, I really am a great friend.) Then the following weekend I'm going to Boise for the bacchlorette party. This time I am staying in Boise for the entire week. The wedding is the following weekend, so all the bridal party is going to be in town and we will have a million and one things to get done before the ceremony on Saturday. I do, however, have a date for the rehearsal dinner. I didn't want to be the only one there without a date so I called Sean to come with me. Sean is my sister's brother in law. I don't think that he is actually related to me, so we are just friends. He's a great guy, who would be even better if he lived closer, but he is moving to L.A. in like 4 weeks. So much for that...

Then I head back to Idaho Falls for three days, then head out to Nebraska. Honestly, this wouldn't be the best time to go to NE, but I have another wedding that I'm in. (see, this is me being a good friend again) Crystal Mosel is getting married on the 10th and I am one of her bridesmaid's. I love that she asked me to be in her wedding, I am honored. It's just at a bad time. So I will be in Nebraska for a long weekend and then drive the wonderfully long drive back to Idaho Falls. Thank goodness I have off that next Monday. Otherwise I probably would just fall asleep and all my students would run wild in the building. That would just speak volumes to the other teachers at the school.

Oh yeah, and I started my masters program so somewhere in there I need to be reading and writing my papers and staying on top of everything for that. AND I have a job. I think someone might want to be teaching my students in here some too.
Repeat after me: "I will not get married during the school year if I want Tina to be part of it."
I have all June, July, and most of August to do wedding stuff, no more weddings in March!!

Pray for patience.

6 Things

Julianna, oh Julianna. You want to know six weird things about me. I think you might know all the weird things about me..

1. I have a stash of CD's that I love but don't want others to know I have. Like mid 80's Michael Jackson.

2. I was upset when I found out the OC was getting cancelled. I own all three seasons of the OC on DVD as well. Yes, I have an affinity to bad TV, like The Hills and Dance Life. Good thing I live alone.

3. I won't get dressed on a Saturday unless I know someone is going to see me or I have to leave the house. Which means sometimes I won't get out of my jammies at all one those days.

4. I will cry while watching TV, it will be something stupid that sets me off, like friends hanging out, but only when I am alone. I also will cry while at the movies by myself, but will hardly ever cry when with others, even when you're supposed to.

5. I find myself sounding more and more like my mother, just don't tell her that. But this mostly happens when I'm yelling at a student, so maybe that doesn't count... I've even had people call me Terri here in Idaho Falls because apparently I look like her too. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

6. I am a rubber necker. You know, the person who slows way down at accidents, pull overs, etc and try and figure out what exactly happened. I like to think that I know every time.
