It's been so long since we have spoken! School has kept me so busy that its getting out of hand a bit. Thank the gods for fall break this week, though. I'm definitely feeling more rested. As of mid-terms, I have a 4.0. Hurray for hard work paying off!

Anyway, I have to go study right now, but I hope you are all doing well. I'm certainly thinking of you.

So, we've finally started to plan my next set(s). It'll probably be shot outdoors in a super secret location here in Lafayette the next weekend that we'll be able to secure it. I could really use the extra cash, so we may be shooting a couple of ideas if we have the time.

So.......look for some new naughty pictures!

Cheers,
Chride

Edited to add: If anyone knows of any relatively secure spots in Lafayette Parish, I'd be willing to scout them out.

So, I'd really forgotten how challenging school can be when you're financially in the shitter. Its so hard to concentrate on things when you're thinking you'll never be able to afford the text(s) for the course to begin with. I've already accepted the fact that I'm going to be working a little more--its a means to an end--but I really frakking hate it.

Anyway, I gotta get back to this math assignment.

PS. In an effort to make things a trifle easier, I'm selling my massage table and accessories. You can view the thread about it here, and if you need additional info please feel free to PM me.

I'm getting ready (early) for my favorite holiday: HALLOWEEN! I've seen this particular outfit on the web for a couple of years, and its definitely caught my eye. Love at first sight, actually because Vivid has modeled for the company. I don't know how I'll be able to come up with the extra cash (not that its too expensive), but I think its just become one of those things that I really need. So, after I make my first tuition payment, this will be my first purchase (though it is on my wishlist!) Hint, hint.


I'm gonna seriously lighten my brows and get my wig. I've also got a makeup artist on line to make me look great. I can't wait!

So, the major problem with school has been resolved. I found out that the person who was supposed to advise me is out of the office til fall semester starts (way to go, ULL). He had sent me an email, recommending that I speak to the head of the College of Education. I called, and, as usual, had to wait til the next day to hear back. When I got in touch with someone there, they put me through to someone in the Kinesiology Department, who then put me through to a professor's voicemail. She called me back after the apparently required day of wait and totally fixed everything for me. I didn't even have to go in. I'm still shocked, though I'm pretty sure that she had no idea that I'll be taking 16 hours. Don't know if she would have approved that

So back to school I will be starting August 24th. Yay!

Ugh, I need a second to vent. I really need to get some more pictures taken, but I can't seem to find the time. Added to that, I can't get in touch with anyone to help me get advised at school. I've called my appointed advisor several times since wednesday of last week and left him an email. I've had no response. Yesterday, I called the coordinator on my list (the person I'm supposed to contact if I can't get with my advisor) and left a message. Haven't heard back from her, either. WTF!!!!!!

So, I know its been quite a while since I've written, but so much has been going on. When I received my letter from University telling me that I'd been reaccepted, my life was suddenly filled with red tape. I decided to apply for Academic Amnesty, mostly because my GPA wasn't impressive enough for what I have in mind post-graduation. I had to write a letter about the circumstances leading to my latest GPA and present it with my transcript to the head of Student Affairs in my College. I just had that meeting today, and I have to say it went very well. The woman I met with today said my letter was "compelling". Now I have to meet with my advisor--whenever he calls me back--then schedule my classes. Oy. I didn't miss that part of school.

So, I wound up having an amazing time at the wedding I attended last weekend. I don't know whether it was because I thought I looked great or the Lexapro I've been taking, but I'm not going to question anything. I'd had such a bad time at the rehearsal dinner the night before that when I made the stop at my sister's house to drop off my dogs I picked up a sample pack.

Things really started off pretty interesting when, the second I walked into the church, Chris handed me a hotel key. Not a card, but an actual key with those oval tags on it. I said, "Classy". Chris' mom rolled her eyes. We sat all the way in the back on the last pew, and she never said anything about my non-participation. God, I love that woman. I hate churches.

Anyway, at the reception, I was on full sparkle. I even chatted with the guys from the band (Rockin' Doopsie played for what was called "practically nothing"). My dance card was full nearly the entire night, I got hit on by many a man and woman and finally stumbled off to our hotel room, full of wine and buzzed from the fat cigar I was smoking outside with the boys.

Thanks, Lexapro.

Cheers,
Chride

My birthday is next Tuesday! So far, the plans are to have dinner with my sister, her fiance, and my old man the Monday before at my fave restaurant, Pamplona. I'll actually be working on the Tuesday, but that means that I have no house fees or tip outs. I get to keep all of the money I make! Last year it was over $700. Nice, right? The plans sort of take a short breather after that, because I have a wedding rehearsal dinner on the Thursday and then the wedding itself on Friday. It's in Cecilia, so we'll be staying in some sort of motel overnight. I don't mind so long as there's an open bar.

The birthday celebration will pick up some several days after on the weekend of the 27th. My ENTIRE family (i.e. Mom and Dad, both sisters with their respective fiances/husbands and my old man) will be taking over New Orleans for the day. We'll shop for most of the early afternoon after a short lunch, then my dad is treating all of us to dinner (haven't decided where yet). After that, its back to the hotel to get ready for the SG Party at The Dragon's Den. No, my parents are NOT going. My twin sister and her fiance will probably be there for a bit, but I don't know if they'll stay for my special appearance.

This is shaping up to be a very full and exciting month! Don't worry, I'll post some pictures of all the events. For now, here's a picture of the very first gift I received.

I know the puppy is cute, but the hammock makes him so comfy.

Cheers,

PS--Just in case: Wishlist

It's really not a secret that I'm a dancer, so why the hell am I freaking out about the old man going to a bachelor party? I'll tell you why. I tried to arrange for them to have a great time at the club where I work, but the groom was soooooo pussy about the whole thing that he insisted the guys do something else. All I was told was that they're going to a crawfish boil and shooting skeet. Sounds ok, but the old man left at 10:00am with some swim trunks and a handle of Jack. He hasn't sent word since, and it's after 5pm here. I don't want to be the nagging old lady, but send a fucking text. I'm going to be hanging out with my sister and her husband for the evening, and that involves doing a sort of pub crawl. I get very flirty when I'm drunk and pissed off, so I hope he understands what the fuck is going to happen if I don't hear from him. Can anyone say "yard pass"? Yeah, I'm a vengeful bitch.
