So I've been a lil busy

As you may have noticed, I haven't been keeping you all informed about my daily life. I know your heart broken, and I am for you....haha I'm kidding. Anyways, it was great to come back home last weekend. I finally got to sleep in my own bed which I probably slept in less than 15 times the entire summer. Amber and Jesse both came home with me but Amber was being silly and would NOT sleep on the other side of Jesse. I personally thought it would be fun to sandwich him in between us...but NOOOO, she slept on the air mattress on the floor. I miss having talks with Amber where we psychoanalyze everything. Jesse was not shy at all with Amber and we actaully had some interesting conversations. Friday night we just went to the P-fest, ate, and went on the bumper cars, then I made Jesse go on the Zipper with me...I felt bad for his stomach and for making him go on it after a girl had just came off with puke all over herself. Man is this one brave! After that we went home, had some alcohol and Stine and the twins came over. We went to bed at gosh I have no idea and but slept in.

When Kim called and said she was going to Steak n Fries I made an executive decision to forgo breakfast and include that instead. MMM...Amber left shortly after and Jesse and I took a nap. Do you realize how much I love sleep? Lil Drewber was walking around upstairs and Kim closed the door so he wouldn't bug us...however, I like when he comes in and wakes me up--he's so darn cute. Sometimes he just kinda hits my face like what are you doing? You are supposed to be playing with me... That night E-train came after the Iowa game...poor thing looked like he felt like shit. Does that make sense? His eyes were watery, his nose runny, and he looked a lil sunburned. We went to the P-fest to have Drew go down the slide. He went with Kim and looked like he had fun. When me and Jesse took him, he didn't look to excited, I thought he was going to cry. Then Jen and E-train took him on the carousel and he had fun...his smile was so wide that you could see all 4 of his lil teeth and I can imagine he was making "Weee" noises as the pony went up and down and around and around. I liked to wave at him. The beer tent I must say was not all it's cracked up to be. Where were people? It seemed like everyone was either old or from another town. Oh well, I got my apple cider slush so life was okay.
We went to the Barrel for breakfast before we left Sunday morning and who would hav guessed it, Kim was there with Drew. Well some people may have guessed because they knew, but no one chose to tell me. Drewber was absolutely a doll at breakfast. When he grabbed Kim's over medium eggs and had the yolk everywhere--it was priceless. He made such a mess and all I could do was laugh. I did get real tired on the way back driving so Jesse took over. I felt horrible but he's too nice to me. I didn't want to fall asleep since he was being nice enough to drive, but for the life of me, I could not stay awake.

And now I'll jump to this week: it's been hectic. I have had this Tort midterm that is next Tuesday on my brain for a while and I keep worrying about it because I have had no time to study and am starting today. I worry that I won't have studied enough and will do horrible. I hate how anal I am about grades. I've also had a lot of normal daily reading and then a LARC paper on top of that. LARC is the devil....really it is. I must say I am very impressed with Jesse's cooking abilities...and his extensive knowledge about everything sports related. He has kept me sane this last week, gosh I hope I dont freak out this weekend. OK, enough rambling and story telling, I should get ready for Property and do some review of the cases.

LOVE YOU, as a smart person once said:We "MUAH!" when we kiss and we "EEK" when we hug! That's the Neeley way!---Kim

Weekend: Home and P-fest

So this weekend I will be making a trip back to Morton for the weekend. You don't realize how much I value the weekend and just taking a day to do nothing. The weeks are so hectic with so much reading and briefing and more reading that I need one day to sleep and sleep and sleep and be lazy. Well, that won't really happen this weekend due to the driving and seeing everyone. I will actaully have to get out of bed before 1 pm...damn!

BUT I am super excited to go home because 1. Jesse and Amber are coming back with me, 2. My family gets to meet Jesse, 3. Jesse gets to finally see who I always talk about, 4. PUMPKIN ICECREAM, 5. Apple Cider slushes, and seeing my family!!! and friends from Mo-town! My sisters and parents are adorable and I'm looking forward to seeing them and to see the nephew and niece
....can you believe my niece is a freshman in High School?...on a side note; Did you know that the other day I was talking to Mom on the phone and I told her to let me talk to Drew like I always do and he took the phone and wouldn't give it back? He kept trying to make noises and it was adorable...normally he runs away from the phone or pushes it away from his ear. I really hope he's in good spirits this weekend so Amber and Jesse don't think I have a crabby nephew.

Kim cracks me up, she called asking what kinda beer that Jesse drinks and I was like I dunno?? Samuel Adams, then she was like theres a bunch..."what about the Summer Ale? That's what I like, I think we'll get that." Then I remember she's pregnant and can't drink so I tell her she's dumb and she keeps insisting she likes Summer Ale so that's what they'll get...Yes Kim you can go in the beer tent at the P-fest...no you can't drink! I love my sisters!

My posts have been rather boring lately, so I will try to spice them up but for now this will have to do; LOVE YOU ALL AND SEE YA FRIDAY!

"I think I have a flat tire"

So, I'm sure most of my family knows this already but incase some of the funniness was lost throughout the story telling let me tell you what happened....
I was driving home from school the other day and it was raining out. I kinda felt that my car was driving funny, so when I got to my apartment, I looked at my tires. Well I have no idea about cars, tires, oil and all that jazz; however, it seemed to me that my back driver side tire was flatter than it should be. I called my mom, who told me to call my dad, who told me that I should go fill it up with air and take it to get fixed. Well the place I felt comfortable taking it to was WalMart in Brownsburg just because I know how to get there and it's only a 20 minute drive. I called them up they closed at 7, it was 6:10 already. I decided to take the chance and try to make it. But because I didn't know how on earth to fill up my tire with air...I just forwent that and went to WalMart directly. When I got there, I told the man that ' I think I have a flat tire, can you take a look for me, its just driving kinda funny"...he responded by saying "what do you mean driving funny", "uhhh, it just is? can you look for me, I can't explain it" He MUST OF thought I was a dumbass. I tried to explain that I had never had a flat tire before, I don't know what they look like, I am from a different state and really have no idea who to ask on these matters. I also through in, "I dont know much about cars, I'm one of three girls". Well apparently it was the valve stem that was the problem and intead of having 32 lbs of air, mine had 8. Go Me! I really did have a flat tire, I feel smart! For some reason the guy did not charge me, I dont know if he felt bad because I looked like a dumbass or what, I truely had papers because they were on warranty still-- but he didn't know that because they were in my purse the entire time and he didn't give me a chance to tell him. Lesson learned...Christina knows what she's talking about when she 'thinks' she has a flat tire. Oh but I still dont get this concept of driving on the rim and how you know if your doing it, I do know now, DO NOT DRIVE ON THE RIM, but I don't know if I'd know if I was doing it....does that make sense? Ok...Briefing time I have a fun contracts case about salmon and fishing...ok so it's not actaully fun but I do have to brief it.......LOVE

4 day week....

Well the weekend was amazing, a three day weekend means a four day week as Jesse pointed out. My parents came down and I thought it was funny when my dad asked, "so you think you can handle it?" I laughed and said well yeah I have to.
Today sucked! I will just say that real fast. Not only because I had to wake up before noon--7:10 to be exact and not just because it meant I had to be in a classroom all day, but because during my break I spent the ENTIRE time doing this stupid library assignment. Did I say it was stupid?

Ok so the assignment all revolved around doing book research in the library and each section had a different case we had to research information and statutes on. I had one about property issues; more specifically a lady built over her property line by mistake and the owner of that property years later informed her that it would affect her sale of her house and she must destruct the addition. Well first we had to make a list of relevant terms then look in the CJS, AmJur, TexasJur and ALR for references. My problem which I spent a good 45 min on was that none of my terms were in the property index. I finally asked the librarian and she was like "oh you need to look up adverse possession"--now how the hell am I supposed to know that? No where in the case was that term, we have not learned of it yet, and never even in Urban Planning have I encountered such a term. Well I finally got that and did the assignment, and went to class. After class I went back and finished the assignment. It was cute because there were like 15 1L'S in the library then fighting for the same books....luckily I was done with those by that point.

After that my brain pretty much shut down, driving definately wasn't too good of an idea because I literally was not thinking of anything...I came home, took a bubble bath and then did more work. OH did I tell you that my neighbors play ghetto rap music yet? Well...they do. Today, I was really trying to study and they were blaring it. So, I did what any country fan would do who was annoyed with their lack of taste. I blared some Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith. I don't mean to say I dont like rap, but what they play is horrible. It sounds like the same song skipping for the entire night- it might well be.

*I was happy to learn that my darling nephew today started spinning around in circles, falling and doing it over. OH so precious!!!

**My sis Jenni called (on my apartment phone--I'm impressed!), and she said she will be going to Motown for the P-fest because I am going and even though her husband will be at the Iowa football game- she loves me that much to come see me alone! AWW...thanks Nen!

***Kim, it is war! I'm bringing back sexy and tag your it!

Long weekend!

Can I tell you that the weekend is my FAVORITE part of the week? Not only becuase its the weekend but because I am not living and breathing law and textbooks.
Friday my parents came down and we went to dinner...they met Jesse and didn't scare him. I must say though that my dad was wearing black pants with a navy and yellow shirt and he thought he matched, then he had the audacity to tell me that I did not match! I dont know what possibly could not of matched since I was wearing white and black. OH DAD!
Kim was so cute and had this idea of telling Jesse that my dad was in the mafia and mom did kick boxing...she really was hardcore about me saying it. I do remember her saying something like "why doesn't anyone do what I say? The world would be a better place if they did", when I informed her about dad's inablitiy to match she said oh just tell him that it's the mafia's dresscode. OH KIM!
Last night we went and saw Charlie Daniels Band at the Rib Fest; it was intense. He and the drummer did a little competition with twirling their bow/drum stick and chugging beer. It was very pro-American to the point where it reminded me of Toby Keith in concert. LOVED IT!
Now I have one more day of the 3 day weekend, thanks to Labor Day and I plan on tryin to be a little productive today. We'll see how that goes...I will be coming home for the P-fest I decided this weekend. I can't wait for pumpkin icecream!!! YUM. Ok, I better go work on being productive and quit rambling.....
