Have you ever closed your eyes and felt like you've fallen asleep for a good amount of time, but then awoke to find that one minute had only passed? I guess that means it's time to hit the sac.

Hope all ya'll had a wonderful and sweet Thanksgiving! Thank you for everything!

"Could" vs. "Should"

Sun, 12 Nov 2006 19:16:01 GMT

Taken from Random House: Webster's College Dictionary, 2001:

could (v.)- 1. used to express possibility; 2. used to express conditional possibility or ability; 3. used in making polite requests; 4. used in asking for permission; 5. used in offering suggestions or advice.

should (v.)- 1. used to indicate duty, propriety, or expediency; 2. used to express condition; 3. used to make a statement less direct or blunt.

Sometimes people use the word, "should," a little too much on others, that it actually becomes annoying. Does anybody else feel that way? The first definition is likely the purpose of the usage, but I feel that we, ourselves, know the difference between good behavior and bad behavior, and the practice of appropriate mannerism. If we are supposedly reminded constantly about what "should" be done with our own acts, then obviously, we are not practicing appropriate mannerism, carrying our duty, or getting things done right away.

"Could" is the correct word if anybody purposely wants to bring forth an idea of possibility.

To anybody that uses either or both words, use them appropriately. You could be offending someone when using "should" when really you mean to use the word, "could."

My 805 Weekend

Sat, 11 Nov 2006 07:00:59 GMT

The first thing I did when I arrived in Oxnard was go straight to my mom's store. More than a month had passed and I finally was able to come home due to my hectic studies. Although I have an anatomy test this Monday, I managed to come home for the weekend. When I walked into the store, my mom had awoke from the greeting of my voice. I was so happy to be home and see my mom. She told me that she had missed me and gave me a hug. I told her that I had missed her too. Too bad my dad was in the east coast. I haven't seen my dad either for so long. Thank goodness for the invention of the telephone.

Knowing that you have been missed and anticipating the await of others who are excited to see you, is a wonderful feeling. You know that you're loved and you feel special. I felt special this weekend and it's because of my family. Even my brother called me to ask if I wanted to join him for lunch on his break. He called me two or three more times afterwards to ask about the status of my arrival. Same with my mom. My little sister, who was still in school, got out at 3:30 p.m. from practice and called my cell to ask where I was. She was expecting me to pick her up from school because she knew that I'd be in town. After I picked up the "baller," we planned the beginning of the next day together. I would take her shopping! My welcome home wasn't over yet, however. He's always the "save the best for last" member of the family. Who else, but our very own, Sake! He shined his nice set of teeth at me and wagged his tail like no other. He also ran back and forth to my brother and I because he was so hyper.

The rest of my weekend consisted of eating, watching real television, hanging out with the family and cousins, and karaoking! And of course, I couldn't escape my dirty laundry. I even did chores around the house and ran errands for my mom since my dad was gone. It felt like I was living at home again. I must admit, it actually felt nice.

Typical Siblings
This morning, Sake needed to do his daily morning procedure. My brother, little sister, and I were still in bed. Neither of us wanted to get up to take Sake outside. (How lazy we are, huh?) So, the three of us decided through the game of, "rock, paper, scissors." Supposedly, my brother had lost, but being the good sister I am , I volunteered to get up!

"Little Catherine II"
It feels great to come home. I had learned, from my little sister, (who goes to the same junior high school that my siblings and I had gone to) that her art teacher is the same art teacher that the three of us used to have. Surprisingly, Mrs. Phipps (art teacher) miscalled my little sister's name by my older sister's name. Pretty crazy, huh? It's been 14 years and my older sister's name gets called by her past jr. high teachers. The name miscalling reminds me of how my teachers used to call me by my older sister's name. My nickname in junior high was, "Little Catherine." I guess our legacy lives on...

So, that's pretty much it. I don't want to type anymore. This is my closing. Goodbye!

Any suggestions or remedies for faster mind processing?

I love the cold weather in the morning and evening that autumn has brought forth. Time to snuggle and bundle up. For some reason this season makes me feel sexy.

Do You Believe in Signs???

Sat, 16 Sep 2006 01:54:41 GMT

Have you ever had the same sequence of events happen in your life...twice? And I'm not talking about deja vu, when you've sworn that you knew the scene you were in had happened already. I'm also not talking about the little bad luck days when you step in a puddle of mud after it had just rained. I'm talking about actual significant events that have happened in your past life and then after a couple of years those exact events happen again. Are there really such things as signs from God, that maybe He is forewarning you about something? Or could it just be your own mind wanting to make you think that way?

Do you believe in signs?

A movie to add to my favorites: Amelie
A new French dessert besides crepe: creme brulee... I crave for more.
