8:00 am

I would like to protest 8:00 am classes. I would like to protest when an 8:00 am class is the ONLY section of a REQUIRED class. I would like to protest that next semester I have an 8:00 am class EVERYDAY!. I would like to protest that one of 8:00 am classes is Math. I would like to protest that this Math class is taught by the same professor that teachers the math class I am in right now. I would like to protest her being the only one who teaches said math class. Heck, I am going to protest math. Now for many of you, those with children or jobs that require some travel, 8:00 am may not seem like a big deal. But when one does not ever get home from work until midnight. And one has a sleeping disorder, and one has recently started waking up at 2:00 am EVERY night. 8:00 am comes very early.
Other than sutpid Math, everything here in Cedar is going well. Much of the same but good. Tomorrow is Halloween and I will sit and watch Hocus Pocus and hand out candy to any children that may come. If not then I will just eat the candy. I would get chinese food but there is something about needing a debit card... which I can't find to pay for said chinese food. So I will be content with Hocus Pocus and candy. Well Im off to make cookie dough for work tonight.
Hope all is well, or getting better.

Pumpkins!







Happy Halloween! Brian and I craved pumpkins tonight. It took us about half an hour to actually pick which pumpkins we would take home. Brian's is the cool one. Mine is as usual the special-ed one. But it was fun and we managed to not make a huge mess and I resisted the urge to throw pumpkin goo on Brian (he is lots bigger than me and I would have lost that battle).
P.S. Mine is wearing a hat...

Ouch, Ouch.

So I am fat. A combination of not dancing 5 hours a day, and meds that made me gain 10 lbs in a month has gotten me out of shape, so I decided to start going to the free aerobics classes on campus. This was a bad good idea. On Tuesday I went to an abs lab. A half an hour of just abs. Then in an attempt to make me abs stop hurting I decided to go to the Body Pump class last night. Well my abs hurt less but now my legs and arms don't really want to work anymore. But it is worth it, or so I keep telling myself.

Life as a Narcoleptic

So I am out of meds, for the next week and a half. I can't get into to see the Doctor on campus til the 29th, and we have no insurance so I will just have to wait. But I had forgotten what it was like to be narcoleptic. With absolutly no drugs in my system helping me stay awake. And let me tell you, not fun! Yestday I could not keep myself awake I kept trying to do my nutrition study guide and just kept falling asleep. Bad news. And now I have been up for 2 hours, studying and doing dishes, eating dinner and I can already tell Im not going to make it much longer, the sleep monster is grabbing hold of my brain and the longer I fight him the more my head hurts, and I know if I fight for too long I eventually just basically fall asleep and start dreaming, but still technically be awake this is much like hullucinating. Now usually I would use Diet Coke/Pepsi in large quantities to help out a little bit, but a very odd thing happened about 4 days ago. Diet Coke lost its appeal, in fact the thought of drinking it made me a little grossed out after drinking diet coke everyday for months and months I suddenly did not want it. All I wanted was pink lemonade (which does nothing to combat the sleep monster). So today for the first time in 4 days I have diet coke, and let me tell you not that great. I drink it only out of desperation, so that i can get homework done. Im not sure what I will do about classes next week because I have class til 3... and I don't think I will be able to stay awake... We shall see. Now I will pay tribute to my old sister. Today is her birthday. Happy birthday sister!

A Very Long Night

So Brian works from 3:oo-10:30 everynight. And usually I would work MT and TH and possibly W. But my T/Th In-Homes for work got cancelled and I only had to work for an hour on Wed. Now I have homework but I have been working on that for 3 hours now, and can't take much more. So now I sit watching Pirates 2 that we recorded and am very very bored. It is no fun when you have no one to talk to and your car is broken so you can't drive anywhere. Speaking of cars stupid POS. We traded it at the dealer less than 2 months ago. And since then we have dumped more than a 1000 dollars into the car to try and fix it and keep it running. We had to get new tires for it to even pass safety inspection. And since about day 3 it has spit out tons of exhaust (and it comes into the car) and had very little "umph". We had all of the spark plugs replaced, and 2 days later the check engine light came on. When the mechanic hooked it up to the computer it said some valve wasn't closing, so they took the car apart and there is nothing wrong with the valve. Oh and there is a clanking noise everytime you turn or go over a bump Which they can't find or figure out what it is. So our car is possessed. That is the only explination.

A Title, A Job,

Well here it is the blog and I have actually shared the blog with family. Now we just need a title. Apparently there is some sort of competition to see who can come up with the official Harris blog title. Brian just got hired at Convergys. They are a national call center, the one in Cedar handles AT&T in coming calls. He isn't too excited but it is guarenteed full time and it is 8.00 an hour for the first 5 weeks of training and then 10 after that with a 500 bonus if you stay for 120 days. Plust after a month you are eligible for benefits which would be nice since we are not a drug free family. In fact we are pill poppers. On the black market a one month supply of Brian's drugs would pay for rent. Mine would buy us food. But we like our drugs so we don't sell them, that and jail isn't a super fun place so I've heard. But anyway, so he now has a full time job. But the downside to this is that he will work M-F from 3:oopm -10:30 pm for the first 5 weeks. Then he goes to M-F (minus Thursday): 3:00-10:30 and Saturday 10:00-7:00. This would not be so bad except that I have class MWF from 8-10 and 1-3, and He has class T/TH 10-3. So we aren't going to get to see each other very much :-( but it is only temporary until I graduate in a year and get a real grown up job. Or a better job comes along. Now if I could just get a second job or more hours at my current job we would be okay. But that is enough rambling for now.

Okay so I decided, We needed our own blog. Now I am not a very diligent blogger I mostly like to ready other peoples. But I will try. I think part of my lack of blogging has to do with Wal- Mart being the main source of entertainment in Cedar City. (We have a movie theatre but you can only go to the movies so often...) so there isn't much to say. My apartment is a disaster. There is a mountain of clothes (all mine) that is begging to be put away but instead I sit and blog. I have also decided that I was not ment to be Susie homemaker. Last night I made dinner it was supposed to be enchiladas (not stacked rolled). But it turned into mostly enchilada mess. They tasted good but didn't really stay in single enchilada units. Also, in the process of making enchiladas I made a HUGE mess. Spices and meat, and cheese all over, in my hair, bowls, and pots and spoons everywhere. Im just glad it isn't 1955 and I am expected to cook in heels and a dress and look perfect. Cause I and the kitchen was a disaster afterwards. I actually don't mind cooking I just don't do it very gracefully.
Love
Kelsey
