call matthew and molly

Busy , busy, busy, but i must remember what is important . Family . Havent talked to my brother i a couple of weeks, shame on us both. Wish he lived here in Pennnsylvania instead of New York. I reallyt miss all the fun we have together when he does come home. I really wish that he could be a part of my senior year and come to all of my basketball games, but still life goes on and im sure that he wishes i could be doing alot with him and his wife in New York. I aldo need to call Molly see what she is up to. Doesnst matter who makes the call it just matters that we always stay in touch. I love them both so much and this busy time in our lives is crazy but i will call tonight.

Believe in your how-to

Ever have one of those Murphy's Law mornings that makes you believe your wohole day is destined to be a disaster?
Try this instant-turnaround technique..Pick a phrase that reinforces your faith in yourself, like "you bet i can" and repeat it throughout the day. Make it even moire effective by adding movement, lik saying it while doing something monotonous to you. Keep repeating. The more you imagine your mantra playing out, the more lkely you are to behave in ways that make it happen. Try it you will be surprised how you have the power to change your day....

time change

Spring forward Fall back. Im just not ready to wake up for class and it is going to be dark and then come home and darkness again. Oh well i'll make it, it just seems that the weather change has come so quickle. I guess its because we really had no summer... I love the sun. Helps me grow. Love the beach, the flowers, seeing every body out and about.The only good thing about this time change is that I get and extra hour of sleep. Watch me forget to do it.
somebody in my family will call and remind me.....

reasons to love your body

Confidence comes in all shapes and sizes-including yours !
Queen Latifah is strutting her stuff all over the place these days, so why shouldn't you?
There are as many different kinds of "perfect" as there are people.
Your body gives your beautiful and unique soul a place to hang out.
Even Hollywood hotties have flaws-can you say airbrushed?
Because it's the things that make you different-flaws and all-that make you so unforgettable....

DC Sniper

It was a very scary time for me because my Aunt Nina lives in Rockville, MD and I was worried about her safety. She lives alone and is a school teacher so of course she had to portray a sense of confidence so that her students did not sense the fear she was feeling. It is hard for me to believe that an adult could so manipulate a young man and convince him that what he was doing was justify his actions.

Grateful that my aunt is safe abd I feel so badly for those people who lost loved ones to such a senseless act. I will be following the trial wth the hope that ustice is done and that this type of action can be prevented in the future.
