bored ... and doing what I shouldn't

Alright so that title can be taken the wrong way, I am bored cause Tony's away at the moment. Plus I'm supposed the be spending all my time to finish my online class which has like 3 more weeks until it ends and I really need to be getting homework done. So of course I'm not ... I can only do so much homework before I explode.

But I am trying to get everything done early because I'm headed to NY on the first (of August)for about a week!!

It's not going to be all fun while I'm there but that's alright. After that I'm spending a month (roughly) in UT, of course

I decided to do this cause Tony would be gone anyway. So anyone wanting to see my wonderful face ... ok it might not be THAT wonderful but still, we should do something.

To my very own Papafrita

Father's Day this year seems a bit different for me. Yes I realize I'm thousands of miles away and that might have something to do with it. But this year I am definitely more thankful for my wonderful father. As many of you know we had a scare a few months back and weren't really sure what the outcome would be. But I am very grateful that my dad fought hard to be with us today. I have learned many wonderful things from my father, including: wearing shorts in the winter, shoveling the snow barefoot, many computer skills which I don't think I know til I have to do them on my own, how to be a nice genuine person, and mainly how to have fun ... all the time. I want to thank my magnificent father for making my life so great, for helping me create the best memories that I can never forget. I love you and am so very thankful for being able to have you as the best dad in the world.

It's hard to believe ...

I never thought it would come so fast, our one year anniversary is today, crazy!! Tony is still away but Alyssa has been making sure I get the most out of my day and driving me crazy doing so hehe. Although I did receive a wonderful email from Tony that made my day. Even though he is gone I had a pretty good time. The week started with the Spataro's visiting, not just for me but Ryan currently lives thirty minutes away so I spent a few days visiting them. Then Alyssa arrived late wednesday, we spent our time together shopping, enjoying the wonderful brad paisley concert, going to the windy beach, eating great food, and playing with a very adorable bulldog.

But enough about that ...

Today is really about the one I love ... I miss seeing his face. I miss his gentle touch. His handsome brown eyes looking so sweetly into mine. His snoring, I know kind of crazy. But most of all I just miss him. I love him for making me miss him so much. For being to perfect and wonderful that I would want to miss him. He is doing well and I believe having the time of his life just working and playing rock band.

Day One: He's Gone

It has now been twenty-four hours since I dropped Tony of for his month long adventure and I'm already bored. I know it's because I know I won't be seeing him in just a few days, but I can't help it. I promised myself that I would stay busy with my school work and cleaning the house so that I wouldn't think about him being gone. I actually am supposed to be finishing an assignment at this moment but I'm bored with that as well. I just have to keep focused and hope that this week flys by so that I can have my visitor come to keep my company, if only for a few days. I always thought that I would be able to do this ... but I guess none of us are really meant to be alone so why did I think I could?!

To all you mother's out there ... especially mine

Happy Mother's Day!!

At this moment I am wishing I could see my mother's face and wish her happy mother's day. I know that we didn't always see things eye to eye, but I want her to know that I love her! I miss her pushing me to be the best that I can. I miss her constant words of encouragement when I took on new challenges. I miss her voice teaching me the things I need to know the most, although at the time I didn't think I did. I miss her cooking ... alot. I miss our adventures. I just miss her. Thanks mom for being the most amazing woman in my life. I love you!!

L.A. ... I might be coming

I don't even know why I'm writing this post ... I also don't know why I did what I just did. No I didn't do something horrible, well maybe it could end up being horrible. I entered into a sweepstakes!! Not just any sweepstakes, an Ellen sweepstakes. I have the chance to win two tickets to the American Idol Finale, which in and of itself would be amazing. Also, two tickets to an upcoming Ellen Show and last but not least the chance to win a BRAND NEW CAR!! Which just happens to be the all new GMC Terrain. So I had a little faith in myself and said what the heck. So I may or may not be getting all those amazing things ... but I guess I at least had to try just to say I did and to possibly have an adventure I would never forget.

The Beginning Of Summer Vacation ... Not

Many of you know that it is now May. Which means fun times are on the way ( I really didn't mean for that to rhyme) but not for me. I will be attending online classes and am so terrified to do it. I haven't been to school in what seem like forever. I just hope I can keep myself motivated and finish what I started so long ago. I think the hardest part about it will be that Tony will be gone off and on. Which should make it seem easier since I won't have anyone distracting me, but I would so rather have him here. But I will just have to make do. I'm guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself. So I'll stop.

For better news, Alyssa has decided to grace me with her presence. I will be lucky enough to have her fly out here to attend the Brad Paisley concert with me. I received these tickets for my birthday from Tony but seeing as he won't be here I had to find someone willing enough to take me. Although Brian offered to "suffer" through it I really wanted someone who would have a good time with me. Knowing that Alyssa would be graduating Aesthetics School and as she's always up for a adventure thought she wouldn't mind the visit. So there we have it, plus I'm hoping she will help me adjust to the extensions I received for my birthday as well. I'll be taking pictures as soon as I perfect them. Last time I tried putting them in, I came out with a mullet. So hopefully that doesn't continue to happen.

Also, it's mother's day coming up and I have no clue what I am going to do. Any great last minute ideas?
