Oh the weather outside is frightful!

I'm sitting in the lobby tonight with two of my friends Kaycee and Molly chatting about weekend plans and I bring up that I am going to Alabama to see my sister. Well, Kaycee at that moment say's "Last week at this time it was snowing!" and I said " OH, please don't say that!" then Kaycee decides to tell me that we are expecting freezing rain! I have not had the best experiences when it has come to my birthday and weather. Being born in February is not all that great! When I was 12, I was supposed to have a birthday party which almost got cancelled because of almost a foot of snow (school was cancelled that day!) when I turned 17, it snowed so no one could come over, last year I didn't get to go home so my parents came to see me because every weekend I planned on coming home it snowed. Finally at the end of march I got to celebrate! So all these people that complain about how we aren't in school during their birthday really have nothing to complain about! Well I am going to bed! Hopefully I get to go to Alabama and don't get lost (too many times!) Thanks Kim for the directions!!!

My birthday!

Sorry it's taken me so long to post. I had to find a way to get around the admin. block here at Freed! : ( They are ridiculous sometimes! I am now 21 years old! I had an AMAZING birthday! I got balloons from Rachel and Ben, and another bunch from mom, dad, Joey and Jamee. I've gotten lots of cards. Then at 12:00 last night, my friends had a suprise party for me! I got to blow out candles, but I almost set off the fire alarm! We were fanning the smoke out the window! My friends found out the other day that I didn't get Lisa Frank stuff when I was younger so they got me Lisa Frank folders and a coloring book!( I don't think they heard the part that I wasn't particularly fond of the stuff! Too cutesy!) I really appreciate everyone who did so much to make it special! It's not even over yet! This weekend I get to go see Rachel and Ben and we are doing some stuff(were also celebrating Rachels birthday. She's opening her gifts from me!) and then the next weekend I get to celebrate with mom, dad, Joey and Jamee! I talked to my brother last night and he asked me if I had gone and "partied". I told him that if you call going to church, Wal-Mart, taco bell and then to sonic and getting a blue cocunut cream slush partying? Then yes, I am a party animal!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope that all of you holiday planning and partying are going well! I have not been doing so well this year. I have not really been in the holiday spirit. I think it is because I am driving myself around this year and I am seeing the stupidity that is all around. I understand wanting to get the perfect gift for people but, I don't see the point in driving like it is Nascar and why is it called the Happiest season of all but people look at you like "If you grab that pair of shoes I will hurt you!" I mean honestly, if your son or daughter doesn't get it now, they will be ok! Any who! Jamie and I went on a 2 day road trip! It was amazing! We were in Kentucky still but we went shopping in Ohio! We went to three malls in 2 states in one day! Well! I hope that y'all have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I hope that there are no Grinch's or Scrooge's in your life!!!

Ready, set, GO!!!!

The other day I got a book from the library about a girl who was heavy and she had a huge crush on this guy. After reading the book it got me to thinking. This book was basically my life except I am not from London. So I have decided to go on a diet. I started monday I weighed today and I have already lost four pounds!!! I am really excited about this. I have a goal set in mind. I want to be to my goal weight in June. I know that it will be a struggle but as long as family and friends support and help me I feel that I will do it. The odd thing is, I am kind of excited!!! Maybe I can look like this one day? OR maybe not! Who knows!!!

My room is clean!!!

Well! It only took me 21 weeks (just kidding) probably, 3 months to get my room clean BUT it is done!!! This was a very large challenge for me!!! My mom is very proud of it. I am just happy that it is done. Now when I am doing something fun, I won't be thinking that I should be cleaning my room!!! I know that all of you know that feeling! Have a good rest of the week!

I (think) I have a major!!!

So! Now that I am in my third year of school and people keep asking me what my major is I have decided that maybe I should be doing some thinking. I had a really good talk with my mom's cousin Keith monday night and he really got me to thinking. It is not that he said anything different than what hundreds (thats the way I feel) of people have said "Follow your heart" "What do you like?" What do I like? Shopping, scrapbooking, movies and guys! BUT that is only a job in the perfect world!!!! He just said it in a way that helped me I guess! Well Abby is about to chew the cords on the keyboard and I still need to clean my room! (Week 20 of the cleaning of the room!) See ya later!

P.S. My major is PR! (Public Relations!!!!)

Freedom of Speech? Yeah right!

I have had a incident happen in one of my classes. I have a teacher who cusses and one day he let a boy play a cd he had made. The boy said that if the words offended anyone to speak up. I told them that I would be offended and that I would go out in the hall. It bothered me so much that I wrote a email to the teacher and told him that I was offended by all of the fowl language that was used in the classroom by classmates and him. So today as I am walking to class the teacher walks up to me and tells me that he and the boy are going to apologize to the class. The teacher makes his remarks about being irresponsible and the other guy gets up and says "I am sorry if I offended anyone BUT (I held my breath here) I feel like I wasn't in the wrong. I told you what words were going to be in the song and that one girl (that would be me) got up and left." Then everyone starts to yell "First Amendment" and "Freedom of speech" The whole time I am thinking " Good grief, why do I feel like I am at the Salem Whitch trials all of a sudden?" Then I started to think, everyone is so big into freedom of speech, but what they don't realize is that freedom of speech is only important to them when everybody agrees with them. It is only when someone stands against the majority that "freedom of speech" is thrown in. I agree, I used freedom of speech! Though I do feel that as I was leaving everyone was saying "Witch, witch, witch!" Oh well! God was there with me and I survived!!!

It's great to be at Curves, how may I help you?

Well, I got the job at curves. I like it a lot. I get to work out for free and I get a discount on the clothes, vitamins and protein shake mix! Woo-Hoo!!! I have a test tuesday to determine if I know the information they gave me the other day. I have to know a phone script, the muscles in the body and the official name of the machines and what you are working while on the machine. I better go study! Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!!!

Tag I'm it!

I think this is funny. Not sure why. I guess I thought tag would end when I left grade school! Oh well! Here it goes:
1. I eat chinese food more than anything else.
2. I was 20 years old when I got my license.
3. I have to match, even my pajamas.
4. I change my purse everytime I change clothes ( even if I am just going to curves)
5. Everyone thinks that I have a twin even though it is my sister who is 7 years older than me.
6. I don't like being touched, unless it is a hug or something and it has to be a really good friend or my family.
7. I have a 22 inch scar down my back
8. I don't like tomatoes, bananas or beans.

I have no one to tag. I just thought it would be fun to fill out!

It's a hard life!

Ok, it really isn't! I started classes at Henderson Community College here at home. I started yesterday and found out that I only had one class! Confused? I'll start from the begining! I got up at 6:15 for my 8:00 class. I got ready and went to class. First I went to the wrong building so after I righted that wrong and went to the right building I found a seat and and waited. 5 other people came in and we waited. We waited for 20 minutes and the teacher never came. Come to find out that class doesn't start till next monday. I wait and go to my 9:30, turns out that it doesn't start till next monday. I go to my 11:00. The teacher is having heart problems and class is cancelled for the rest of the week. My 2:00 doesn't meet during the semester it turns out to be a "Independent" course. So I go home after all that and then have to come back to Henderson for my water aerobics class that is at the YMCA. I call to make sure that we are meeting. We were and I was really excited. I get ready and even leave early. I get to the YMCA and find out that class started at 6:30 NOT 6:45!!! The lady at the front desk told me to just sign in since it was the schools mistake. Oh my goodness! I felt like I was going crazy! To have really done nothing it wore me out! Today I did get called to come to interview at Curves and I hope that I get the job! Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

Where in the world is Meredith Lindsey Fletcher?

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog! Not much has been going on! I went and got registered for classes yesterday. I am taking 12 hours(That is full time, I am not slacking( Rachel no snide remarks!!!) and I only have classes on Monday, wednesday during the day and a Thursday night class! I am pretty happy with it. I am going to get a job next week and I am going to try to work on Tuesdays, thursdays and Fridays. Rachel has it in mind that I am going to work at the Jewelry and handbag outlet, but I really don't want to work there :( I think that I am going to apply to Bath and Body works and that would still work to her benefit because she would get cheaper body spray and wash! It's all about Rachel (or so she thinks!!!) I hope that she see's it that way at least! My best friend Lauren is leaving tomorrow and I am really sad. We only go to see each other for two weeks this summer since I lived in Alabama. I held it together though and didn't cry! She and I have been friends since we were babies and have only come closer since we have been in high school and gone off to college. I am going to miss her, but we have already made plans to get together in the next couple of months! Well, that is what is going on! Peace out!

Aren't I cute?

Bye Alabama!

Well I have found out my parting date. I am leaving next weekend! I am NOT really looking forward to it! I have to admit, it has gotten rather homey! The church has been great. I have to say that this summer has helped me to decide what and where to go in my future. I know that this is kind of deep for a blog so I will change the subject! We had a pot luck at church today and it was SOOOO good!Rachel made some GREAT lasagna. Then after that we went to Ben's grandmothers house for her birthday. She is quite the little firecracker! I hope that you all have a great week. I am going to try to make my last week the best ever!

Weight Watchers

Rachel and I have been going to weight watchers. I have lost a total of 8 pounds. I am very proud of it. Though Paul has lost like 50 in 3 weeks and it has taken me like 10 weeks. But that is ok! I will work harder at it and who knows what ccould happen. I hope that when I go home I will get a job at the YMCA and I would like to start taking tennis lessons. Well, I will try to keep you all updated. I hope that you all are reaching whatever goals you are trying to reach!

Open the gate!!!

So Rachel and I decided that we should go to yoga! Oh goodness! It was so much fun! Kim went with us. Mary, Jasmine and I were on the front row and then Rachel and Kim were behind us. We laughed basically the whole time. I about lost it when the 70 year old woman with a bad hip behind me passed gas!!! It was hysterical! Mary kept looking at me and making me laugh. It was ver relaxing and calm. I think that rachel and Kim are starting a yoga class on monday night at church! Help us all!!!!

I got a tattoo!!!

Just kidding! Well I did, but it was a henna tattoo!I like it a lot! So much has been going on lately. Last weekend Ben, Rachel and I went to Gulf Shores. We had a LOT of fun. We went to the beach on Saturday. We were there the whole day. I got burnt, of course and had a GREAT day. Then after we got back on monday, I went to Six Flags with the church group. I got sun burnt there too! BUT had a AWESOME time! I love the church here! They are a great group of people and they make sure that there is something to do almost all the time. If I move here (Alabama), I hope that I will be able to go to Sylvan Springs. Well, I have to go get ready. Rachel and I are going to yoga tonight. Hopefully I don't hurt myself or anyone around me! Wish me luck!!!

Whats new in my life

Not much is going on in my life right now. As you all know, I am living in Alabama and working here. We found out the other day that my mom has lyme disease. It has taken quite the toll on her. But she is getting better day by day. I have decided to not go back to Freed-Hardeman. I am going to start at Henderson Community College. woo-hoo! :( I really am not that excited. I am going to miss all of my friends and I hate the thought of having to tell my friends. I am dreading that. I also do not want to have to stay at the house with my parents.But with a job and school, I won't be at home that much so, I will make it work. Well, I hope that everyone is having a good summer!
P.S.I would like to give a shout out to Mandy and Brandy that I work with!

A new post

Well, people are complaining that I need to make a new post so here ya go. I got my license, super excited about that. I have gotten to go see some friends and things like that. I am leaving for Alabama in about 2 1/2 days. I am happy about seeing Rachel and all, but not looking forward to going to bed early and getting up early. I am such a night owl. I like to go to bed at 2 am and get up at 10:30-11:30. It makes my dad mad but, oh well. I am looking forward to having more that $5 in my wallet! I had to go to the doctor the other day and she told me that it is not looking so hot and that I have to take better care of my diabetes or something severe could happen so I am now on a medicine that makes me nauseated and to make it worse, I have to take it twice a day! But the upside it is helping me lose weight and if I exercise and eat better I can maybe get off of some of my other medicines! Yay!I think that if I do WW (weight watchers) and curves with Rachel and ride the bike that it will happen! I am trying to keep a open mind!!! :) Well I hope that all of you complainers (aka. Rachel and anonymous) I hope that you are happy! Have a good week and Happy Memorial Day!

I have a car!!!

This is a picture of my car! I am very excited. It has taken me a few years but I am catching up with everyone else! I know, about time! Hahahahaha!

Oh the things you will learn!!!

First, I would like to apologize for not writing in so long! I've have been VERY busy! Now down to business! I had an AWESOME weekend! I got to go "home" aka. Rachels house which I consider home. We went to a walk-a-thon for the camp that Sylvan Springs goes to. That was fun, I got to make a cotton candy cone. I had to buy because no one else would and I didn't want Josh to be out $2. Rachel and I went shopping. I got a new purse, some jewelry and a great dress for a wedding I am going to. Saturday night we had girls night in with Kim, Alison, Katie, Emily, Rachel and I. Enough said! It was a good weekend!
