Survey

Ok guys... I am taking an allergy survey...... What do you guys take for your allergies... what do you find works best? I normally take the generic of Zyrtec D, it's 12 hour - but lately, since it's been windier, I've had to take it twice a day instead of just once. So I decided to try switching to Claritin D... but I don't know if it's helping any... ever since I woke up, I've been sneezing. I just took one again (it says 24 hour, but I remember last time I took it, I had to take it after 20 hours) so we'll see.... if I stop sneezing in the next couple of hours then maybe it's working - if not, then I wonder if you can return medicine! LOL!

I will have to go buy generic Zyrtec D....

Go to the comments and tell me your allergy regimines. I don't think you have to sign up, but please put your name :)



I leave tomorrow to Austin for a 10 day visit!!! I am so excited :D I miss my Jeremy - it's been 6 months!!!

Hugs!

Need your opinions.....

OK - first thing's first:

my most favoritest HBO series is coming out on DVD in May.... TRUEBLOOD!!!!





My question to you guys - should I pre-order it on amazon.com??? I have no special occasions coming up where I could ask for it as a gift LOL. When you pre-order it on amazon.com, instead of $60 it's $38.99 AND it ships for FREE. I don't have a job still... but I did get paid from jury duty.


Question #2:

For Christmas, mom got me the box set of the Sookie Stackhouse novels (books 1-7)... I'm on book #4 FYI hahaha...... When I was looking at the TrueBlood stuff on amazon, I discovered that Book #8 is going to come out in paper back March 31... and I can preorder it for $4something. Should I? It, too, ships free!

I also saw that there is a book #9 coming out, but in hardcover... THAT I am going to wait for on paper back since all my other books are paperback :) But I'm still excited about it !!!

So, please help! Should I preorder TrueBlood and the 8th book in my series? LOL

I hate spending money when I know I have none coming in... but yea.....

Luv ya guys!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Slainte!

It's a BOY!!!

I'm going to have a sweet lil' nephew come late August!!! I am going to go to Hobby Lobby with mom tomorrow and get some more yarn to make a blanket for my lil' what's his name..... and some little surprises too :) We are having name discussions now that we know it's going to be a boy.

I'M SO EXCITED!


Oh, and I've been told by the sis in law AND my brother that I'm in charge of the baby shower along with Jaime's sister... whom I've never met, ever! I think it was a little, um, forceful, I guess for them to say "you're in charge of my shower"...... I also want to know with what money they think I can pull off a baby shower LOL. Anyways, off my soap box. I need ideas of things to do for a baby shower.... since apparently I'm in charge of it LOL

Nervousness

I've decided, with the support of my best friend, Marissa, and of my loving boyfriend, that I need to tell my parents that I have shifted my job search to Austin, plan on moving up there as soon as I get a job. I am trying to tell people that I have a trip planned so that I can maybe interview while I'm up there. I need to tell my dad that I am going to be in Austin from the 28th-6th, mom already knows, and I have to tell them that I've switched my job search to Austin instead of down here, because if I get a job down here I'll have to put in at least a year, which means another year apart from Jeremy, and that's not what I want. I also have to break the news to them that I'm planning on moving in with Jeremy instead of getting a place of my own - it'll be cheaper and besides, either he'll be at my place, or I'll be at his, so it's kind of pointless to get a separate place. I know I'm going to get long conversations and huffs n puffs and I'm not looking forward to it AT ALL. But I can't just get a job and then say "mom, dad, i got a job, i'm moving in two weeks." I don't think I'm going to do it tonight, but I have to do it soon. I just need to stick to my guns and not blow up when they express their concerns and unhappiness. I need to remain calm, and show them it's not some spur of the moment idea I'm having. They need to see that I mean what I say and that it's what I want, and that I at least have a plan, and this is what I want, and what I'm going to do.


HUGS!

Adriana ~N~ Jeremy.... 3 Years of This and That's

October 31, 2003:
I went up to Austin to visit a friend and her boyfriend. They told me that one of their friends, someone my friend's b.f. went to school with, was having a party for Halloween. We get all dressed up and head over to his house. When we walk in... there is NO ONE there... and he says he had just taken off his costume. All I remember of his wife is the back of her head going into the bedroom hall LOL!!! We sit and hang out for a while... he goes and puts his costume on... a long red costume with a blackout face mask. Too funny! Then the boys went and were messing with the computer... finally my friend and I went and told her boyfriend that we were ready to go. Here's a picture of how I looked when Jeremy first saw me:

hard to see - but it was a "Priestess" costume

March 12, 2006:
I was at South Padre Island with my brother for a couple of days on Spring Break. I was on the phone with Jeremy... the guy I had met through mutual friends back on Halloween '03. I had seen his picture on my friend's MySpace page and didn't know if he'd remember me. I remembered he had told my friend that he thought I was hot and he liked me... so I decided to toy with his mind and flirt with no intentions of taking things further (which was so not like me anyways LOL) After a couple of messages, we started talking on Yahoo Messenger both on the computer AND our phones. When we were on the computer he would turn on his webcam and as I watched him, I started to fall for him... thus, throwing my evil plans out the window! After texting for a couple of days, I asked him, "How long is it going to take you to call me since you already have my phone number?" He replied, "I'm getting out of work - I'll call you in a few mins." I had been laying on my bed, and I totally fell asleep and missed his call, but I called him back as soon as I woke up. He had left a voice mail saying, "Hey, Adriana, it's only me, you don't have to be scared. Call me back." LOL! We started talking on the phone and I fell for him quickly. From the first MySpace message, to the day he asked me to be his girlfriend was only 10 days! Three years later, I have no regrets :)

Here are a bunch of pictures from over the past three years with commentaries.

This is the first EVER picture of he and I together. It was taken the first time he and I saw each other after becoming boyfriend/girlfriend. April '06.

We've snuggled before he had to go off to work.

we have a song





We've Remembered the Alamo....

We LOVE to snuggle on the couch and watch movies together. (He's holding up my head with his hand! Such a thoughtful guy!)

He sends me flowes on special ocassions AND unexpectedly! These he sent me on Halloween in celebration of the day he first laid eyes on me :)

We've gone to his cousin's wedding rehearsal dinner on a party boat on Lake Travis.

We've gone to his cousins wedding in Austin.

We've gone on a "Trip to Greece" while eating at Tony's (I think??).

He lets me go bug him every night he works while I'm there!

We've gone to his sister's wedding (this was the first time we got to be with each other because he was so busy all night with the music), but it was a great night.



He's taken care of my foot when I hurt it running down his stairs.

It was BAD! It STILL hurts!

I love this man, with my whole entire heart and soul. Every waking moment, right babe?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

It's 2:30am and I am about to go to my room and talk to my wonderful boyfriend and then go to sleep. I love falling asleep on the phone with him... call us crazy, but it makes me feel like we're together even though we can't be. I love the fact that in these past three years, we've done that every night.... I can count on two hands the number of nights one of us has fallen asleep before getting on the phone and the other had to go to sleep "alone". I love Jeremy so much.

I have this cute idea for a blog post, but I will do it after I wake up... so check back in the afternoon LOL! I don't have court again until Wednesday of next week... so I'm sleeping in! :D

Have a great morning to you early risers, and I'll post my 3 year anniversary blog when I wake up :)

Hugs!

Sunday Night Nothingness

I am in the middle of STARTING laundry LOL I have nothing to wear to court tomorrow. I found my other pair of jeans I KNEW I had buried at the bottom of my hamper! I am not sure if I'm ready to sit in a court room all day tomorrow.... 9am til 5, I think. I guess it'll be no different than sitting in the auditorium all last week, except I won't get much done when it comes to reading my book hahaha!


I am excited that I'm going to be going to Austin in 20 days!!! Haven't told my parents yet... but that can wait ;)
I have been applying for jobs up there like crazy... pray that I get a call or email soon, please! I want to move like NOW and finally be with my honey.

Ok - I'll try and post something tomorrow, but with the only thing going on in my life being a trial which I cannot speak of, I may not have anything to post about.

HUGS!

Fat Friday on Saturday

****UPDATED AGAIN****

I better be arguing with Aunt Flow soon or I'm gonna be pissed LOL. I can't believe I'm going to post this, but not as much as I can't believe these numbers!

Weight: 276.2
Last week: 271.0

Body Fat: 48
Last week: 46.4

BMI: 39.6
Last week: 38.9

Ok, I've been in jury duty all week... which doesn't really allow for the healthiest of eating. As a matter of fact, I only had breakfast one of those days. I didn't eat several times, which is what I need to start doing... but I blame Aunt Flow's impending visit AND jury duty LOL! Also, sitting in an auditorium for 5 days doesn't do much for exercise. UGH. I didn't wanna post the number because I can't understand a weight gain of 5 lbs in one week. I didn't pig out or anything. I really only skipped breakfast. I decided I needed to post the friggin' numbers because I said I would, and if I DON'T then I'm not being honest with myself or with anyone else.

I feel like poop now.... Oh well, it shall go down!

****UPDATED****

Ok... I know I said that I would post the results.... but I'm thinking I should do the weigh-in at the same time of day... not right after I ate. Also, might be TMI but I know who reads my blog and I know all us ladies (sorry honey, not you LOL) go through this every month... but I'm gonna start soon, and I'm bloated n have that crazy water weight hahaha can I claim a 5th amendment week for my weigh in? LMAO I'll post it tomorrow. I want to weigh myself when I first wake up, before I eat anything. If it's the same as what it was just now then I'll post it anyways, but I don't see any reason, other than Aunt Flow, that I GAINED the amount of weight that I did. Don't hate :)

Can I just say "EFF AUNT FLOW!" ;)

am i right ladies??

comment! I think my scale's broken! hee hee

****

Weigh-In results COMING SOON!!! I will do it as soon as dad goes out for a smoke break. :D

<3 A Compatible Future <3

I was perusing horoscopes on Yahoo! and they have this compatibility checker thing-a-ma-jig and I entered in mine and Jeremy's signs and after reading what it said, it just solidified how I feel about him and about our relationship. We've been together for three years (on the 12th, actually) but haven't spent three years actually TOGETHER. However, every time I am with him I am happy and I feel peaceful and he makes me laugh. I really, really love him. I thought I'd share with the 5-ish people, Jeremy included (he has no choice, I added his email to be notified ;) ), the compatibility results. I happen to think this describes us perfectly, and it makes me excited about the future, our future TOGETHER, because it sounds like it's just going to keep getting better.

I love how this picture is so dark, looks sexy, I think! ;)

When Capricorn and Pisces join together in a love match, on the surface, it may appear to be opposites attracting. Capricorn is down-to-earth and regimented, with a very strong work ethic, while Pisces tends to be more emotional and dreamy, and takes on the needs of those around them. This couple is honest, and can be devoted to one another. They admire one another: Capricorn appreciates Pisces's kind nature, and Pisces is drawn in by Capricorn's quick wit and tenacity.

This relationship may develop slowly, the two not necessarily recognizing its progression. But it will get stronger over time. The Capricorn-Pisces duo can really put their heads together and can be fulfilled by their partner. Difficulties can arise if Capricorn is too dominating for Pisces's sensitive side. Pisces needs to understand that this is Capricorn's style and not a personal attack. Pisces might not take too well to Capricorn's stubbornness, but can deal with it through patience and understanding. Pisces enjoys indulging Capricorn through their desire for domestic bliss, which combines well with Capricorn's need for a neat, tidy home and material goods.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Pisces is ruled by a combination of Jupiter and Neptune. Saturn is the planet of dedication, authority and responsibility. Higher learning, ethics and standards are ruled by Jupiter, while Neptune influences Pisces's view of dreams and illusions. These three Planets complement one another because they have a good sense of compassionate justice and dedication.

Capricorn is an Earth Sign and Pisces is a Water Sign. Earth Signs are about possessions, and the Capricorn-Pisces partners like to surround themselves with material objects that show off their sophistication. The Water Sign relies on emotion and intuition, making the Pisces the fueling force behind the relationship, but in a passive way. Shared love of a comfortable, yet fancy, home life ensures that this couple will aspire to a higher ground.

Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. While Capricorn tends to focus on one project at a time, Pisces floats from one thing to another as the feeling strikes them. Because of their flexibility, Pisces may become interested in Capricorn's projects. In turn, Capricorn needs to allow Pisces to enjoy many things at once and not take it personally when Pisces gets bored with something that Capricorn if focused on. Capricorn will stick with Pisces's pursuits even after they've moved on to something else. In return, Pisces can sometimes show Capricorn that flexibility is better than a strong determination to do things a specific way.

What's the best aspect of the Capricorn-Pisces relationship? It's their unique blend of temperaments. Both partners enjoy sharing their lives with someone else, and both like to help the other achieve their goals. Their difference in temperaments makes theirs a highly compatible relationship.

**There it is folks! Can you guess (if you don't know, or remember, my birthday) which of us is the Capricorn and which is the Pisces?

:)

<3 you, papa!

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS INDEED!

Mom and I were out shopping about two weeks ago and there on the ground in the parking lot were these 2 McDonald's cups - I just had to capture it!
