2007-07-25T11:00:01Z

so, yesterday...

I bought a wedding dress. Yay! haha
I actually bought it at Red Door Consignments, but it's new with tags on it and all that jazz. So excited...especially because we went to Belles & Beaus in Fayetteville and some of their stuff ON SALE was still like 800$, and I just cannot justify paying that for something I'm going to wear for a few hours, one time, ever. I'm going to have to have some length taken out [obviously, haha] but the only other alterations will be simple to do...it already fit pretty well. It was also $129.99, which is amazing. Seriously. I haven't been able to find HIDEOUS dresses that cheap. haha

andddd then we went to Hobby Lobby, and it just so happens that ALL of their bridal stuff was 50% off...so I knocked out all kinds of stuff. Guest book, flower girl basket, some lavender petals to go in it, ring pillow, bubbles, some tulle, a veil, an arch, really gorgeous icy-looking garland [we're trying to make it wintery...it's pretty and it saves on flowers. haha...and we're using snowflakes in it, which is just cute.] I can't even remember everything we got...I just know that it ended up being like...$140 or something close, and that's AWESOME.

It seems like it's all falling into place,
and everybody knows how much I like that. haha

<33333333

so...

2007-07-02T11:23:27Z

i've been way over-stressing little things, not that it's anything new...

but somehow, it's all working out.

olivier moves back at the end of October.
we're getting an apartment, either at Preston Mill
or The Lofts in downtown [which I really, really love]

we're getting married in February.
he talked me into using a deep purple
and a little lavender. it's going to be
extremely pretty. :]]]

Karlee and I may have found a place to have it,
we're going to look at it sometime this month.

I picked out my bridesmaids dresses.

I need to pick out my OWN dress. haha

My job is going really well, and I'm making so much
more money than I used to...Olivier got a new job
working at Honda, and they'll transfer him directly
to Honda in Union City. We'll be in our apartment until
we save money and do the mortgage thing to get a house.
I think my dad wants us to build near him, which is fine
by us. If my grandpa gives me land to build on...wow.
Nothing would make me happier. haha

Everybody is happy about the wedding, as far as I know.
I'm ecstatic. I can't wait. I'm nervous, but it'll be okay.

this is pretty much a "haha, bitches" entry, by the way.
have fun with your royally effed-up life. haha.

yeah, so

2007-06-25T03:59:42Z

I know I've already posted this about a hundred places....
but I'm engaged, and I'm over-the-top happy about it,
damnit.

:]

yay!!!

and my ring is gorgeous, and olivier is romantic and amazing,
and i can't wait to get married. period. goodnight.

2007-03-21T15:51:10Z

so, I'm FINALLY set on this tattoo. Finally.
I know what it's going to look like exactly,
I know where it's going, and I am SO HAPPY.

We went and talked to the guy yesterday...I was worried
because sometimes tattoo places make me nervous pretty
easily, but this guy is awesome. I trust him. Big deal
for me. haha

I'm not getting it on my chest, or my leg [as I think I only
told Sarah anyway] It's been changed again, haha -- but this
time I am TOTALLY sure. Feels great. haha

YAY HOLLI :]]]]

I'll definitely have pictures after I get it.

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-16T08:16:00

2007-03-16T12:17:41Z

so, my mom pretty much squished what was left of my confidence about this tattoo of mine..

so i'm busy trying to regain it and just do it.
i seriously NEVER do anything for myself, just
because I WANT TO, and not for anyone else.

I wish she wouldn't do that, seriously.
The only thing I've been excited about for weeks.
Thanks.

2007-03-14T04:29:11Z

I'm so damn ready for Spring Break...it hurts.

I'm ready for Olivier and I to get our tattoos the most.
I'm dreading the pain, kind of, but I know I can deal with it...
and I know it will be gorgeous and I'll love it and it'll be worth
it anyway. It's like taking over my thoughts, haha...I just need to
go ahead and get the damn thing so I can stop thinking about it
all the time. Silly, I know.

I don't know whether or not to keep thinking of a "background"...
or if the bird will be okay alone, atleast until I think of something brilliant.
hmmm...

Obviously I'm not going to just CHOOSE someone else's tattoo,
but these are some that I really like...or really like a part of:

[i LOVE the design of this one...it's technically a swallow,
but it's easy enough to change the tail.]

[more traditional, but I still like the shape because it's not
awkward-looking like a lot of them are.]

[cute shape, not crazy about those colors together though.]

[everything about the shape is WRONG...but it's got the color
scheme we like...haha]

[with a change of tails, this could be near perfect. I guess my
countless hours on the internet paid off....haha...definitely one
of my favorites.]

opinions? anything?
I can take it. ;]

I'm so excited!!! haha

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-12T23:58:00

2007-03-13T04:02:38Z

I need a haircut or something.
I need to make some kind of physical change.
Rawr.

Seriously considered dying my hair red again until I realized
that I have a saltwater pool in my backyard now and I don't
really want to end up with an orange mess by the end of the
summer. There goes that plan.

Maybe getting a tattoo will be enough.
It's horrible that I feel like I can't even wait a week to make
some kind of change. I know if I cut my hair off I'll be furious
with myself later. I know it.

I'll try and hold off until the tattoo. Sounds better than chopping
off my hair on a whim, even if I have to wait a week for it.

Today wasn't too bad. School stresses me out so much though...rawr.
I just want to get done with bullshit classes and take something I
care about, then I don't think I'll hate it so much. We'll see.

It's supposed to be 80 degrees tomorrow.
I want to go swimming. I have to work at 2,
so I'll probably lay out before then. Yay :]]

Orlando in less than a week.
Ohmygodexcitement. I can't wait.

Shouldn't have taken that nap earlier, I'm wide awake...
but I was exhausted.

This entry was pretty useless, I'm going to watch TV until I fall asleep.
G'night.

<3

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-12T00:43:00

2007-03-12T04:50:47Z

Once again, I'm posting when I know I should be sleeping.

I did my freaking homework today. Glad that's over.
College is no fun, no fun at all. haha

It's starting to be gorgeous outside every day. I can't wait to go swimming
and to lay out by the pool...and to work out like all the time. haha

It's technically Monday. No more soft drinks, or bored snacking,
or eating candy. None. I feel like crap when I'm not eating healthy,
anyway. It's a win-win situation.

So. Did my homework. Got some sun. Went lounge-chair shopping.
Hung out with Sarah [<3] and dyed her hair black on a whim.
It's cuter than I expected. Yay :] Now I can have red hair
again, if I feel like it. haha

Seven daysssss until I'm in Florida making cuddles with Olivier.
I seriously can't wait. We're [supposedly...you promised!] going to
a beach...doesn't even matter which one. I just need to go. And then
we're watching a whoooooole bunch of movies, and maybe I'll help cook
dinner or something, and getting tattoos, and snuggling and it's going
to be the best week of all time. Even if we lay around all week.
I am SO freaking excited.

My birthday's Friday. Whoo? I'm seriously hoping my parents just give
me money for Spring Break. They know that's what I want. haha--My mom
is giving me a gas card and an itsybitsyteenyweenyyellowpolkadotbikini
that I saw in Target and completely fell in love with and will wear
like all the time. I'm super-excited about it. You have no idea.

Buttttt my birthday isn't a huge deal to me at all. Whatever.
Nineteen. Not the same person I was a year ago. I know that.
I'm sure I'll be another "me" by the time twenty rolls around, too.
Welcome to adulthood, or something like it.

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-11T19:11:00

2007-03-11T23:12:19Z

all this talk about getting in the pool and laying out and stuff...

tomorrow i'm totally working out. and Wednesday. and whenever I have time at home.

and no more soft drinks, seriously. that helps like nothing else.

i'm so close to being okay with how i look in my bathing suit.
no way am i ruining it now. haha

2007-03-11T05:31:58Z

I'm always dead tired when I write in this thing.

Worked all day, I'm super incredibly tired.

When I got home from work, I changed clothes and we left to go see
Larry the Cable Guy at the Fox [shutup, my family's into it]...It was actually
fun, he's pretty funny and he didn't use the same jokes I've heard
a hundred times, either...so that was good. Yep.

Rode MARTA there and back, I love that so much. I just want to ride
MARTA for an entire day and see how many people I can talk to. Cheap fun. haha

I've got a serious headache and I'm about to pass out on the keyboard.
Buhbye.

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-09T23:21:00

2007-03-10T04:25:49Z

I'm super incredibly tired,
but I thought I'd post anyway for whatever reason.

My birthday is next Friday. Yay? haha

I've pretty much been working and going to school.

Olivier was here Tuesday-Thursday...
He surprised me at 7AM Tuesday, I thought he was coming later
in the day, so that was great :]]]] Good morning cuddles & such.

Spent most of those three days with him, gotta love that.
I seriously can't wait to move in with him and see him every day.
I know, I know, I'll "get sick of him". But it'll work, just watch.

I took him to school with me Wednesday, haha -- he sat through my psych class :p

Other than that, my week hasn't been anything particularly special.
Working more than usual so I can pay my !Q$&%$@! ticket and spend
a cuddle-filled week in Orlando for Spring Break. Whoo! And get our tattoos...
I'm so incredibly terrified. Mostly because of where I want to get it.
Seriously scared...but I'll do it anyway. haha

I've gotta work in the morning at 9, I should probably go to bed.

<3 o l i v i e r <3

andhollisaid @ 2007-03-05T21:37:00

2007-03-06T02:39:40Z

I seriously think Olivier and I aren't going to have any friends when we're married and moved out and all that.

We both have, like, two friends now anyway.

I swear I hate the majority of the entire world.
Really, I do. Every day I find some reason to hate
some other group of people. Rawr.

On the up side, I'm officially changing my major to Psychology.
I'm incredibly excited about it, too.

Something's wrong with Olivier's truck....fgjdfakjhad.
I hope he's still coming tomorrow or I just might die.

We're getting matching tattoos in two weeks.
It's gonna be suh-weet, to say the least.
I'm even more excited about that than changing my major. haha
<33333

Logan Scott

2007-03-05T04:35:17Z

Brittany FINALLY had her baby at 2:23 this morning...
9lbs 3 ounces....but he doesn't look that big.

Her contractions didn't register on the machine thing at the hospital
so the nurse didn't check her as often as she should and she dilated
faster than they expected, meaning she had ABSOLUTELY no medicine at all
because when she finally checked her, it was too late.

None. No epidural. Nothing. Eventually they gave her something that just
made her fall asleep between contractions. Crazy. Brittany has NO pain tolerance
at all, so I can't even imagine.

Anyway, I went to see her today and she's way better. She and Logan are coming
home tomorrow.

He is SO incredibly adorable. I don't even like babies. He's freaking cute.
He has Brittany's nose, all the way, and a head full of brown-blonde hair.
He slept the whole time I was there, I'm sure she's hoping he keeps doing that. haha

No, I don't want babies now, Oli.
I'll just kidnap Logan and we'll keep him until I'm tired of him.
K? K.

He's precious, though.

[ignore Britt's face, she had just been through HELL]

I am

2007-03-03T13:15:03Z

so not happy.

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-26T08:34:00

2007-02-26T13:35:34Z

so...worst week ever has slowly taken over the whole month, i guess.

i just want it to be OVER.

i'm so miserable, it's not even funny.

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-25T21:34:00

2007-02-26T02:34:36Z

I don't even feel like a real person sometimes, if that makes sense.

Well, it's one of those times.

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-23T22:27:00

2007-02-24T03:32:10Z

i'm slowly kicking this anxiety's ass.

I paid my 117$ "heytherewasastopsigntherebitch" ticket today, so it's out of the way.

I told my dad that I GOT that same ticket, which I feel much better about...

I've got three tests next week, only one of which I'm worried about,
anddddd a paper to write, but I know I have time and I'll be fine.

Hey, Oli, your entry sucked...
but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being so relaxed.
you make me feel retarded for freaking out over things
i should just fix and get over.

I love you :]]]]

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-22T22:56:00

2007-02-23T04:02:14Z

worst week ever?
seriously.

i have bronchitis, a ridiculously expensive speeding ticket,
a semi-expensive running-a-stop-sign ticket, a paper to write,
a crazy-ass professor who won't give me the OKAY to WRITE the
effing paper until my outline is PERFECT...a family friend died
in a car wreck...i'm getting bitched at for no good reason by
the last person i thought would make my week worse. i am OVER
this week.

f it in the a, I say.

i'm going to be done, for now...atleast until Olivier sneaks off
the phone and goes to sleep. <3

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-21T11:04:00

2007-02-21T16:06:22Z

I don't want to be sick anymore.
I feel like I'm going to explode every time I cough.

I decided not to go to school today
and to go to the doctor. I usually fight the doctor part,
but I know this isn't the normal cold I always get.

I just want to go to sleep, wake up, and be better.
kthanks.

MY grandma's taking me to the doctor, too...
God, I am such a little kid.

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-15T23:14:00

2007-02-16T04:16:14Z

so, i'm getting worse sickly symptoms by the minute.
amazing.

sneezing, coughing, sore throat, runny nose...
sounds like I need a Nyquil. Butttt I can't do that,
'cause it makes me all jumpy and crazy and I have to drive
to Carrollton and Orlando tomorrow [!!!!!]

I can't wait to just cuddle and go to sleep with him.
I'm sure it'll make me feel better. haha

<3333

andhollisaid @ 2007-02-08T22:54:00

2007-02-09T03:58:29Z

so....talking about getting married makes me all
girly and happy. yay for that. i'm in the best mood
of all time.

*yawn*

Work went by super fast today, I forgot how quickly it goes
when you work in the morning. Sweet! Melissa stopped by to
beg me to go to the gym with her tomorrow, sooo we're going.
Yay! I'm actually really excited. I need to get headphones
before then. Hmm. She said it's REALLY nice. I can't wait!!

Then I'm dying Sarah's hair, and it will be fantastic.
It's going to look amazing. haha <333

I feel like a frickin' balloon from all this water
combined with my salt addiction. adjfgkadjgkfja..ew.

I'm going to bed now, I've got school and stuff tomorrow..
G'night!

andhollisaid @ 2007-01-30T12:09:00

2007-01-30T17:11:02Z

I haven't felt like I feel today in....a couple years now.

I'm not even going to go into it, I'll sound
like an attention-starved sad kid...

i'm just letting you know that today is NOT my day,
for NO reason at all. wtf.

andhollisaid @ 2007-01-27T10:46:00

2007-01-27T15:48:26Z

school's okay, work's not the worst.....anddd that's
pretty much all that goes on with me anymore. haha

I really freaking miss Olivier.
For real. I can't freaking wait
until I get to see him every single day.

*yawn*

I should probably get ready for work.
Yuck.

xx
