Bum.

I'm sitting here, not doing my back exercises and daydreaming.

I feel pretty bad because I missed my doctors appointment by accidentally sleeping in. Bad girl, bad bad girl. Now I gotta talk to my job tomorrow because this thing is due SOON. I hope they let me work...wah.

It's summer, truly truly truly.

The Good Stuff

Today was pretty chill. Woke up, ate breakfast, chilled, and went to Arlington for my friend Andrea's birthday!!!!! Yahhoooo. She's nineteen, and I'm jealous. I only have a few weeks left of being a teenager.

I kind of want to do stereotypical teenager-y things....maybe shout to the world that they don't understand or wear a prom dress or have a MySpace photoshoot or ...I don't know.

Honestly, I feel like I'm still going to be a teenager even when I'm not. I'm too young of a person to want to grow up, and as mature as I am I feel like a child. I think it's the maturity that wants to cherish every joyful moment.

Anyways, it has come to my attention that I should probably blab about how the name of my blog came to be. The name, "The Good Stuff," was actually inspired by the Kenny Chesney song that I love so so much!!!! The title is a reminder of what things in life, as simple as they may be, are truly significant to the human heart.

'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date.
Momma's all worried when you get home late.
And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate,
'Cause your hands are shakin' so much.
An' it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair.
n' eatin' burnt suppers, the whole first year,
An' askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up.
Yeah, man, that's the good stuff.

"'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey:

"Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl.
"The way she adored that string of pearls,
"I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl,
"Married his high school love."
"An' it's a new tee-shirt saying: 'I'm a Grandpa'.
"Bein' right there as our time got small,
"An' holdin' her hand, when the Good Lord called her up,
"Yeah, man, that's the good stuff."

So, on Thursday I move to Maryland for camp. I'm excited, yet sad that I'm leaving good ole' Virginia. I'm gonna have to start packing and planning things to bring. Wah. Packing always stresses me out.

Errr, it's 3 in the morning and I want to wake up at a decent time. Wayyyyy to go me....


Goals for the morning:

• make a packing list
• back exercises
• Economics studying...

Alright...gonna get a snack and sleep. Gnight.

Little Moments

My Godson

Today, my lil godson a.k.a. baby brother Javi fell asleep in my arms for the first time in forever.


It was awesome.

Little kids are the cutest people, and when they sleep it's just amazing.


Another cool thing that happened was that I had a really great experience after Mass that made me quite happy. I really like my confirmation saint, Therese is mah girl.

Now, I'm really tired and my head kinda hurts..so I'm gonna go sleep now.

Night!

"Gift of God"

Flowers: Gift of God


Good Evening!

So tonight, I got the loveliest surprise at about 10:23pm: flowers and a card left by a mysterious young lad! :)

Okay, he's not necessarily mysterious, but he is a quite a wonderful young lad though...I think I'll keep him. ;)

This is a song he likes and was trying to learn how to play:


Today, I went to a Deaconate Mass for his friend who now is a deacon in the church! Yahhooooo! I haven't been at a Deaconate Mass since my uncle became a deacon. Unfortunately, I never got to attend his priest ordination. :( Wah.

So uh, today, I did a bunch of prayers of gratituuuuuudddeeee. I'm really grateful for blessings. I'm really grateful for God's beautiful will, and I can't wait to see what other cool things He might thrown in my direction.

Yeah dude. I really need to do the dishes....so I shall.

Good night <3

"Nice Window"

My Really Awesome Window

It's Memorial Day Weekend!
Show the Armed Forces you care.

Thank you Daddy for your service, thank you Mami for supporting Daddy and holding the family together on the Home Front. Thank you ME and my siblings for being AWESOME....just like all the other military brats.

The reason why I have a picture of my really awesome window is because I was recently reminded on how much I appreciate my window and room. My window is pretty, my room is amazingly tight, and my closet is sick. I love my room.

Today, although it was Sunday, we had our family BBQ for Memorial Day. I had a cheeseburger, texted, chit-chatted away with the family, watched movies, played CAPITALISM (great card game), and of course......drank espresso coffee made by the men of the house..this time my little brother Ricky. It's the tradition in our family for the guys to make the coffee for everyone. I love it.

I also went to Mass earlier in the morning with my friend Matt. It was pretty tight, and we went to Einstein Bagels. Their cream cheese is more expensive than the actual bagels. Gotta love them tricks of the bagel trade....we also went to my house and watched Star Wars on Spike. Epic. I miss Star Wars...

TOMORRRROOWWW.....the family's leaving for VA Beachhhhhh. YAY!

I'm a beach bum. To the max. We're leaving at like 5 in the morning and come back at about 11 at night. Yahoooo for day trips.

Here's a song that makes me smile, it's just so cute-sounding. I especially dig his multi-colored jacket. Alot.


K done byes.
Happy Memorial Day!!!

Summer :)

Soooooo, it's been a while dear blog....miss me? Of course you did.

I know that it's summer and all, but I decided to put up this picture of the "Snowpacalypse " that we had this past winter. Crazy semester, crazy year. I'm still recuperating :P

However, it's been a nice transition to summer. Summer camp doesn't start until June 19th, so until I've been having nice lazy time, going to mass time, going to the beach time, ACTUALLY WATCHING TV time, and random adventures with friends time. It's been a nice healing from the weird semester I think.

So this morning I went out to coffee with a friend of mine at Einstien Bagels, and I really enjoyed my blueberry muffin that they WARMED UP for me. :) Yes, warmed up. Like as if it was a sandwich place. Oh, how sweet that is.

I'm trying to stay away from the whole staying up until 7 in the morning thing that people get into....I still have goals for the summer, but I HAVE been up until 5 a few times. Today I was good though. :)

Tonight I'm going to the awards at my brother's high school, and my daddy comes home from his TDY today!!!! Yahhhhhooooo. It's Memorial Weekend, and the family is going to Maryland for a BBQ on Sunday. We might even also go to the beach Monday or Saturday. Yayyyy.

Speaking of beach, I tanned yesterday quite well so my skin feels happy. I love the feeling of the sun hugging me, it's one of the bestest feelings.

Well, I have laundry to go take care of and I need to do my daily 5-page back exercises....
Buhbyessss.

Little Things

Funny story:

Today in morning prayer I offered up something to God that's been on my mind for a while...I told Him "hey, please just bop me on the back of the head to let me know...okay?" Then I made sure to tell Him that He needed to take care of His babygirl...as if He doesn't already know this.

A couple hours, I got it what I asked for. I wasn't literally boped on the back of my head....but well you may get what I mean. The lil' sign I was looking for. That bop on the back of my head was also a very loving I'm-taking-care-of-you bop. It's the little things that matter in my simple lil' life.

God's kind of a funny dude. Gotta love this guy. Now I guess I just need to carry on humbly!!

Anyways, I've been doing a bit of thinking about what I want to do post-graduation. Yadabadadooo.
