What's been going on in my life?

I know I have definately been missing for quite a while on here. I've been so busy and think I finally may be catching up. Here is whats been going on in my life:

~I took my nursing admit test Friday..praying I get accepted this time.

~I've been majorly busy with classes.

~I've been working out and dieting/ changing my lifestyle. I've only lost 8 lbs but thats atleast some. I seem to be stuck at a plateau for like the 3rd week in a row now though :( Not sure what to do to get off of it.

~I was planning on starting to train for a 5k today but it keeps raining off and on so my friend and me are going to have to wait.

~I've spent lots of time with all of my nieces and nephews these past couple of months. There hasn't been a dull weekend yet.

~On a sadder note, my aunt fell over the baby gate in her house and busted her mouth and passed out for a little bit. The next few days her mouth wouldnt stop bleeding and she started getting pin size bruises everywhere and then got huge purple bruises everywhere, even in places she didnt fall. It seems everywhere she touched was creating a huge bruise. She went to the dr and they found out her platelet levels were 900 when they should have been 150000. She was near death. They put her in the hospital immediately and took bone marrow, etc. to test. They then gave her 4 bags of plasma. Her levels are now at 172000 and they are done giving her plasma. Today is the first day since they have stopped and they are having to watch her to see if her levels stay up or if they drop again. They are still waiting on tests to come back and the doctors are afraid that she has leakemia. Please keep her in your prayers!

~I've been busy making Spring Break plans to go to Panama City with the girls.

~I have been pretty stress free thanks to removing one of the girls that caused the most stress and drama in my life from my friends circle.


~My brother gave me cobra rims for my stang. I'm so happy. They look so nice and make it look even more like a race car.

~I went to my colleges version of American Idol Friday night. It was amazing and my friend got the 2nd place position while two students that my mom knows well from working there got the 1st and 3rd places.

~I am also getting ready for our Dinner Theatre that is in 3 weeks. I wont get to dress up like I'm in the 50s like the last time it was held and my nephew was born and I couldnt go, but there is another fun theme this time. We are participating in a murder mystery theme. The theater is putting on a play and at the end everybody has to figure out who is the murderer. It seems pretty fun to me. Plus we get to dress up and have a 5star yummy meal and its free for students and 40 dollars for everybody else. Sounds good to me!

Alright, well thats my life as of recently. How have you all been?

WILW!!!

It's time for another edition of



~I'm loving that although my mom had to go through a painful surgery for skin cancer monday in which they went in on her forhead and scraped to her skull in order to get it all only to find that it had spread and they had to go in and scrape more and get the roots, but the good thing is they got it all. She has been in a lot of pain and could use prayers, but she is glad to be cancer free!!

~And guess what, i'm actually loving green tea!!! Yup add a little splenda to it and it is quite yummy!!!

What are you loving this week?

The post where Carie goes all boob crazy!!

I don't know if I've ever told you all about my insecurities about my boobs, but here goes nothing.

I started my period at a very younng age. I was only in fourth grade. By the time I started middle school I learned that Ihad crazy bad periods and the doctor found out that I had endometreosis. In order to make my periods fall on weekends so that I could go to school and also to try to keep the pain down some the doctor put me on birth control. I was so young and already having to learn about birth conrol. Throughout middle school and highschool I was on birth control, had a laproscopic surgery to scrape my ovaries and remove scar tissue from endometreosis along with a cyst, and then even was put on Lupron shots (which apparently shut down my ovaries to make it seem like I was going through menopause..crazy). However none of this is supposed to affect the chances of me ever having children and the doctor said he believes that when I get married that I will have no problem getting pregnant. However, all of this took havick on my poor dear boobs. I always knew that I had two different sized boobs and had heard it was normal. I told my mom and family members and was highly worried about it. They said they didn't think I had anything to worry about because most women have two different sized breasts. What nobody noticed, was how different my two different sized breasts are. I thought I was normal as well until one day I went to a different OBGYN and the lady informed me that it was not normal and embarrassed me really bad talking about the different sizes. She embarrassed me so much that I am scared to even wear a bathing suit and I even catch myself checking how they look in the mirror in certain shirts to make sure you can't tell. I however knew that I couln't afford a boob job to fix this, however this morning while watching the Hoda and Kathy Lee show the plastic surgeon said that if a woman did not devolope right throughout puberty and had a noticeable change in breast size then insurance should cover it to get fixxed.

I have no clue whether I should go through with it or look into it..what do you think?

The news today:

I know, I know I have been so MIA!!!

In the past few weeks I haven't had much going on to blog about and I'm sure all of you don't want to hear about my lifeless days with books, studying, eating healthy, working out, no man in my life lifestyle..

Anyways, I have had a bit of drama in my life. So for you people who love hearing about the drama in the life of Carie, here you go, however I promise this whole post is not about that or I hope not.lol

Recently I have had so much friend drama. One is jealous of the other. One doesn't want to hang out if the other one is hanging out. One doesn't care what she says as long as it makes her look good and makes everybody else look bad. Ugh it is getting completely rediculous. One thinks she has to have a man. One won't leave a bad man though she knows he is the wrong man. And me, well I feel like I need to become closer to God, focus more on my school work, and maybe then a guy will fall in place.

Anyways, how do you feel about these things? One night we went out and my friends decided they wanted to see a rated r movie. Well we had my friends two year old little boy with us and I tried to convince everybody not to go, but his mom took him on in like it was nothing. I was so embarrassed. I mean come on now, it was "No Strings Attached" and everyone was talking about us and staring!
Then, Friday night we went out to eat and this same friend ordered a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri. However, nobody in the resturaunt knew that, so when it arrived the little boy wanted the cherry and the whipped cream off the top and she let him stand up and just lick all of it off the tall drinking glass..Everyone yet again was staring at us talking because they thought it was an alcoholic drink, then she thought it would be funny to provoke them and put two straws in thedrink and take a sip and then hand it to him to take a sip. I turned soo red along with my other friend who was sharing the OMG look with me an trying to hide under the table.
Am I wrong? I know it's none of my business, but I'm the one getting embarrassed in the process!!

Moving on, Today my Mom had surgery to have cancer from her forehead removed. She had a mild version and they had to go in three times to get all of the roots and scraped all the way to the skull every time. She has to leave it open with a bandage over it overnight and then has to go back tomorrow for stitches.She is very sore and weak, but the shaking she was experiencig earlier has subsided. I'm just gad that they got it all because the cancer had spread so muchfrom December when they found it until today when they did the surgery.

On a happier note, I'm excited for Valentines even though I don't have a Valentine because the girls and me will be dining in, swapping presents, watching movies, and playing games. We are having a full course meal (made by the bestie) with yummy desserts (made by me)!! I will be making a white choc. raspberry cheesecake, choc. chip cheesecake, heart shaped brownies, and white choc. covered strawberries. I'm so excited. I also will be picking up some cute things to "Make" their gifts and hope they will like them as much as I like the pic. in my head of them :)

Oh and by the way, my team lost!!! Just thought I would fill y'all in on who I was going for. It however was a good game althought the half time show sucked even though I am a usual fan of the black eyed peas and although Christina messed up the National Anthem I do feel sorry for her because I would have been so nervous too.

Oh and about Mr. Right who is not so much Mr. Right. That same Mr. Right that I've been talking about for the past 3/4ths of a year, well yeah..he's dating a hooters girl and basically I have no chance..So I'm going to let him have that and one day I WILL find my Mr. Right!!!

Well that's pretty much the news in my life!!! How have you all been?

A pile of pics, but you still should look :)

We finally got our pics back from our photo shoot and here you go.
