The Case of the Missing Cookies

I'm taking my parents to court
to prove I'm an innocent kid.
The judge will most surely agree
that they're wrong about what I did.

Just because all my fingers were sticky
and chocolate was on my face,
doesn't mean I stole those cookies.
So there! I rest my case.

What's that you say, you need more proof?
I have an alibi.
When the cookies got stolen, I was outside.
Now I ask you, why would I lie?

You have no witnesses on your side;
just circumstantial lies.
I think the real crook snuck inside
in a masterful disguise.

Maybe he was disguised as me.
I really cannot say.
All I know is I did not
steal any cookies that day.

Now judge, I ask for sympathy,
so please instruct the jury
to say that I'm not guilty
(and to say it in a hurry!)

My folks are looking quite annoyed
that I've taken things this far.
But it's not as if they caught me
with my hands in the cookie jar.

The jury's back, the verdict's in.
Guilty?! That can't be!
I gathered all the evidence
that should have set me free.

Where did I go wrong, and now
what will my sentence be?
Three years of washing dishes, no!
No way! They can't mean me!

The next time I take my parents to court
(though I doubt it will be in my youth)
I'll make sure that what I'm saying
is actually the truth.

I know everyone already knows this, but I just want to reiterate....I AM IN LOVE!!!! I have the world's best fiance. He makes me feel so much better every day about what I am doing, what I will be doing, and what I'm afraid to do. He is the one person who will give up anything to be there for me. Sometimes I need him when I didn't even realize how much. I totally underestimate how much he cares about me. I sometimes get to busy and forget to love him back the same way. This is going to change. I'm going to give him all that he deserves. In a few short months we will be getting married! When I get nervous about it, I will just talk to him and he will make it all go away.

As for a real update: Teaching is A-M-azing! I am remembering why I chose to do this in the first place.


What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

well....what can I say. I'm kinda tired of being home. Home is just kinda a mixture of boring and insanity. What I don't understand is how Dean can dred going back to school and I am dying to go back. We are so different from each other, sometimes it's a great thing and sometimes it's not so great. I've gotten a lot done over this break, but I don't know if it will ever be enough. When can it ever be enough. I think I'm worried that I'll have a life of never ending overwhelmness....Anyways, I'm still thinking. I wish I could stop.

strep throat sucks sooo bad!!! I haven't kissed my fiance in days :( New Years might suck if I don't feel better tomorrow. At least there has been an SVU marathon on all day!

Last week in Indy was crazy...freezing cold nights, frostbite, throwing up on a table in a resteraunt...all in one day!!! You know me, I know how to keep things exciting. Let's not forget napping on the couch, calling my sister to see if we'll survive.LOL

Baby shower went well...I'm super excited to have a lil baby niece or nephew. My sister is the most adorable pregnant person ever!

Wedding planning is going well...I suppose, Dean and I have began tag teaming it all. Registering, wedding invitations, looking for house stuff : )

Today I received an application for diploma in the mail...HOLY CRAP it's really happening! Scared, excited, nervous, happy, sad, pretty much every emotion you can imagine. Seriously, name one and I feel it.

Lot's to do, my classes are kickin my ass as usual. However, I'm kicking em' right back in the balls!

Sorry I didn't get to see 2 of my favorite people last week. Sara and Travnasty, I miss you guys times infinity. Sara, what you said about Laguna is so true! You gotta have a sexy bitch on the show, come on people!

I love you Stary, thanks for the mail :)

Thanksgiving Break!!!! Well, tomorrow anyways.

well...what can i say?
Camp Reunion was a blast! I love that place so much, and I think Dean finally realizes why it's so special to me. Still have no idea where Buster's is. Still love every spot of that camp...except maybe the a&c room.haha. Anyways, my job...well it's been better. I'm not completely happy, but it happens. My classes, kickin some butt on both parts, I'm doing very well, but it's been a lot of work! Wedding plans...there coming along, sorta. I'm extremely excited to be married to my love! I've made a big decision: I am going to stay in K-Mo for Jan Term. No class, No work, just play...well sorta, I'll be doing some wedding planning, some portfolio work, and some student teaching work. But, I'll be away from here. Hard to believe the semester is almost over! Still lots to be done.

I just want to say that I miss some people very much right now, you know who you are! I love you, and hope to see you soon.

Another amazing book:
"I don't want to be alone. I have never wanted to be alone. I fucking hate it. I hate that I have no one to talk to, I hate that I have no one to call, I hate that I have no one to hold my hand, hung me, tell me everything is going to be all right. I hate that I have no one to share my hopes and dreams with, I hate that I no longer have any hopes or dreams, I hate that I have no one to tell me to hold on, that I can find them again."

“And while I don’t think I’d be any good at being a boy, given the fact that I am constantly afraid, constantly crying, and characteristically weak, I envy the fact that boyhood’s rules are consistent. Being male is not a mess of contradictions, the way being female is. It is not trying to resolve how to be both desirable and smart, soft and sturdy, emotional and capable.”

~ Koren Zailckas, author of Smashed: The Story of a Drunken Girlhood

Amazing book, amazing author, scary story, this paragraph summarizes everything many of us have felt, if you ever have the chance read the book, you won't be sorry.

Wowza...life is crazy!
I miss a lot of people.
School is ridiculously busy, some people really piss me off and stress me out. Some people make me really happy. I want so much right now to accomplish everything I need to. Wedding plans stress me out. I don't know what I'm doing, so yeah... I love my residents and always will! I had the best experience in my life last week. I got to teach 3rd graders all week and loved every single second of it!!! I will miss them. It's homecoming this week...lots going on.
Anyways...

Wow!!! Life is crazy. Classes are busy. RA stuff is busy. Student teaching is busy. Therefore I'm busy. Sorry if any of you feel neglected. I love everyone. Things are good though. I'm beginning to get into wedding planning mode...finally, problem is I'm in love with someone else....lol. Most people already know this, but I admit it right here on livejournal, I love GABE TRIBETT!!! I love RA friends! I taught 1st grade all by myself yesterday and I loved every minute of it! They were cute and pretty well behaved, just chatty. I am in much need of sleep and alcohol. I shall take care of both of these things this weekend! Do I see a drunk dial in my future?....All signs point to hell yeah! I will be spending wednesday in indy with some cool kids and visiting the children's museum on thursday...super exciting! Until then I should lock myself in my room and sleep...but I won't! Time to go.

so...a lot has gone on in the past few days. Lots and lots of RA training. Some wonderful student teaching experiences. A pretty sweet trip to Chicago, in which I got to know a couple of amazing guys. Just realized there's a whole in the knee of my pants...dang it! The stress is headed my way, as I still need to do door decs and my bulletin board, and make some signs, and ....I could go on forever, but I won't. Ewww ewww $364.00 on books today, talk about a damper on my wedding money and my life. Gosh, what else. Moulin Rouge lip sync action going on tomorrow night, I always knew I was meant to play the part of a prostitute, good times. Bought some cute new clothes in Chicago, all professional wear of course : ) Did I mention that I don't know what I'm doing, well I don't. Our staff is pretty cool, if it weren't for the little tention that's in the air, the air near one person that is. Did I say that I got to hang out with the wonderful Melinda Harris, also accompionied by Stacey and Baana (yep i hugged him, twice!) We had a wonderful dinner together! Anyways, lots to do, but I for one am sleeping in tomorrow : )
love you all!

I have some pretty amazing people in my life. Staci, Jessica Strange, and my lil south african Lindsay, all sent me mail today!!! First of all, I love real mail, secondly, my life is so busy and stressful right now that the mail made me incredibly happy. So thank you! Also, I have amazing residents who im me and call me all excited to move in and be on my floor for another year, I love them for that.I also receive middle of the night phone calls from people....that I enjoy. And I love my RA staff of last year and this year both! And first grade is a lot of fun! Not to mention a visit from my MC alumni BF is goin down this weekend, and possibly a visit from the fiance. Life is good.

Q) What am I doing?

A) being lazy

"What can I do to prove it
When I think of your smile I lose it
And when I gaze in those eyes my heart flips upside down inside my chest
you know you're the best
Cuz every moment that we share is total pleasure
and baby my love for you is something they can't measure
I know it might be hard to grasp, but this is something that could last forever
So tell me why we can't be together"
