Bye, bye school!!

About a week and a half ago my councilor called me with some REALLY GOOD NEWS!! He said that being that I started college in 03-04, at that time they were giving out wavers to students who were taking this low level math class, and my councilor found this out and said that I apply to this.......drum roll please, I GET A WAVER, I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL EVERYONE!!!!

It was the best news in a while,I called my Mom right after I got off the phone and she was really happy for me, and then I called My Guy and he was very happy for me and then I told my Dad when he got home from work and he did a fake faint and gave me a big fat hug. I announced a hint of the good news on the networking site and thought that maybe some of my friends would have been excited for me, but not so much, its okay I guess.......even some other family members I told didn't seem to care that much as well. I wasn't expecting people to throw me a party, but everyone who knows me, knows how hard school has been and how math in particular has been hard, so to get this waver is a REALLY BIG DEAL to me!!!

My Guy told me that it's going to sink in later, its going to take a while to realize that your really done with school, I agree, it has not hit me yet, I think I'll believe it when I see the papers. To be smart I'm going to take an easy class, a PE class just to stay in the school system just encase if anything happens, but once I get the papers its adios school!! I can't wait for the day I'm really not taking care of kids anymore, and I trade my chucks for cute work shoes, make real money and hopefully see if My Guy and I last a year and talk about moving in :)

This year has had a few up's and downs, but the up's have out weighed most defiantly!!!

Space

Every weekend is spent with My Guy, from the day I met him, EVERY WEEKEND has been spent with him! Yesterday (Sunday) when we got up in the morning we needed to head over to my house because the dog I take care of was being dropped off. My Guy hung around the rest of the day (I didn't mind at all)we walked the dog, looked at 2 places for him in the neighborhood and he had dinner with my parents.

As I was getting ready for bed my Mom came into my room to say good night to the dog and I guess chat with me for a bit, she asked me if I think I spend too much time with My Guy and I said yes. She said to me I have been single for so long and then My Guy comes along and the 2 of you have been joined by the hip, I agreed with her, I really do love my alone time, and as of lately I can't wait for the work week to come because I get to sleep in my own bed and all of my stuff is here. She said did I ever worry that this might stop, like My Guy one day he doesn't want to see me as much as he does right now and I told her no, I worry that I'm going to feel that way. If it was up to My Guy I would be moving in with him when he finds his new place, and I have already nipped that in the bud by saying "I need to be with you for a year and then let's talk about moving in with each other".

My Mom got me thinking, I had a hard time sleeping last night........also having a dog waking you up at 5 in the morning didn't help ether!

I love My Guy very much, I know he is the best guy I have ever met and probably is going to be the best guy I will EVER meet.....I'm going to try to hang on to this guy for as long as I can! But I do feel I need a week and a weekend to myself, I know pitching this idea to him is going to be nails on a chalk board but I need to say something or I know at some point I'm going to crack; I also feel this might be the perfect timing too. See I'm taking care of a dog, and that means he is my responsibility, so sleeping over would mean I would not be doing my job, also in about a week and a half we are going on a vacation and we will be together for a week! I think I get to have this time, I feel this will be good for us. We will still talk on the phone and see each other I'm just not going to sleep over, yes I like this idea very much :)

SPACE, I NEED SOME SPACE!!!!

Some skin and health tips!

I have been seeing this women Kim who started her own company called Skin Salvation, its an acne clinic. I have never had bad acne but I for sure would/still get breakouts and at 26 enough was enough! She has taught me so much and I feel the need to share a few tips that I have learned along the way!

- Dairy is actually one of the number one reasons why you breakout! Stop eating it or eat it once in a blue moon you will find a big change in your skin!

- Using non scented liquid laundry detergent is better then scented, scented leaves kind of a waxy build up on your cloths and on your skin and that can clog pores! It also helps if you can try to sleep on a clean pillow case every night. I sleep on one side and then flip it over the next night and then put a new one on.

- ICE CUBE, no not the rapper...haha! If you take an ice cube and put it in a washcloth to hold it and rub it on your inflammation for 2 minutes 2X a day you will notice an incredible change! The ice REALLY WORKS people!! You dont have to rub it just on the inflammation you can also rub it all over the face. The swelling and the redness goes down fast!

- Using a good face wash and other good for you skin products is key. Kim has me on her personal face wash but she has gotten me and My Guy hooked to this brand called DermaE I LOVE LOVE their body lotion, I use the pink grapefruit and it smells A-MAZ-ING!

Also SPF people I know I talked about one that I really liked in a previous blog but Kim introduced me to this new brand and this one is way better! The brand is called COOLA My Guy I got him the sport one and he loves it, I have the one just for your face its really nice!

- Make-up. It took me a while to grow to love powder foundation but knowing that its better for my skin and with all the money and dedication I put into my skin I owe it to my face! Kim introduced me to Color Science this brand has no junk in it and I like that if I go on a little vacation or spend the night at My Guy's place I dont need to be worried if its going to leak unlike when I use to use liquid foundation.

It's also REALLY REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT to wash your make-up brushes once a week or for sure once a month!!

I guess my health tips would only be related to the vagina being that has been really the only "health" thing I have had to deal with. Trying to keep your sugar intake low as possible is really good, staying away from bread or buy yeast free bread (you get used to the taste) and taking a yest control probiotics 3 times a day has really helped me. Also staying away anything fermented is a good idea too.

Two peas in a pod!

My Guy and I have been like two pea's in a pod, he met the parents on Easter and they LOVE him, he met my Ant about 2 weeks ago and she Love's him, my friends like him, and he is a dream come true. And its even more great that he likes my family and friends!!

Everything has been going so well, in the beginning it was a little shaky (I talked about that) but now when I go to sleep at night in my bed I wish he was in the bed with me. His heart is so full, the way he touches me and the way he is attentive to me, sometimes I feel this guy is a dream!

I told myself I wouldn't settle for just some guy who liked me just enough, I also wasn't going to put up with a guy who isn't domesticated! I wanted a guy who needed me like a drug, I dont care how narcissistic that sounds but when I'm with someome they need to want to want me, need me, because then I'll start looking some place else. My Guy fits the bill to a T!!

We talk about the future sometimes and about life and I really like that we have the same views and ideas, it really means a lot. I really hope this lasts because I'm not sure if I would ever want to open my heart again to anybody.
