| So I just spent a completely lovely weekend with Valerie. We watched Pirates 2 (must appreciate physical comedy reminiscent of Keaton and Chaplin to truly laugh as hard as we did. . .we LOVE the movie); we consumed obscienly LARGE amounts of caffiene (Dr. Pepper and Mocha Fraps for me, of course); we shopped at three different scrapbooking stores (I don't scrapbook but I still bought some stuff); we shoe shopped (I bought wedge heels, slides, and two pairs of heels - one in black and one in SCARLET. . .Val bought two pairs); we printed pictures at Walmart; we looked at all of our pictures from years past; we talked; laughed; watched Man from Snowy River and Return to Snowy River; watched Narnia; and finally plotted and schemed as usual - about BOYS.
What? Are friends meant to change over 5 years? Cuz it hasn't happened yet.
I still spend more money with Valerie than I do with anyone else. =P
Alas, the weekend is over and I have a neck-ache from Spanish HW. Tomorrow begins the hands-down-hardest 5 weeks of my life.
I only have 5 more weeks of Pharmacy school!!!!!
I have my nationals pharmacy PTCB exam on the 22. Gulp.
I have to go get fingerprinting and the like completed.
I have to find my internship site and begin that process.
I am half-way done with Spanish. . .and it's killing me. So far I have an A but I am not so optomistic for this coming week. Just determined to pass.
I will be halfway through History on Thursday. So far so good. A BIG bonus of a hot guy sitting next to me as an incentive to go to class every night.
And I joined GB3 gym. I love it there. I could live there. I'm going to bump up my intensity and amount of time I spend there every day.
That means I leave my house at 5am and am running to get to my next class or squeeze in as much time on the stairmaster as I can until 8pm every day for the next 5 weeks.
And I refuse to admit that I am in over my head. | | |

Cheyenne's a 12 year old in my Awana girl's group whom I've been getting close to. Recently she's been seeking me out, asking for advice and "older sister" type mentor stuff. Two weeks ago, she came to me asking how she could know that she was saved and would go to heaven. I told her and she said that she understood but wanted to think about it for awhile.
This Wednesday night, she tracked me down at the end of club and was urgent that we had to talk. She asked me how I know that I'm going to heaven. I shared from some of my own expiriences about how Jesus has shown me that He is real and alive and that He loves me. I told her how I know that I can trust Him with both my life now, here on earth, and my eternal one.
As she was listening, I watched huge crystal tears start falling. I knew that something else was bothering her and asked what it was. She told me that she's really scared because she has been having Rape and Kidnapping Dreams almost every night. There's always a guy in them that she knows (she's scared of the guys in her school right now, I think) and that she thinks she has the gift of "preminition" like she says her mom has. She's really truly scared.
And I know how she feels because I've had round after round of the same paranoia with rape dreams so vivid that I wake up with red marks down my chest where - in my dreams - I was squeezed so tight I could'nt breathe. The only thing that has been able to fight my fear and vanish the dreams is my faith in Jesus.
Cheyenne needs that peace and comfort, too. If she can find that Jesus is there for her and trustworthy enough to take care of her in her fear, maybe she can trust him with her life. Please, please help me pray for her. She's so scared and so very precious. Jesus is waiting for her so please pray that she'll reach for Him the next time she has the nightmare!
Thank you, and much love! - Manda

| Manda's Two-week Home Alone Adventure! Take some advice - you might need a Vente Mocha Frap for this one. . .
- Thursday 5-pieces of my 6-piece family drove themselves to Texas to stay with my Mom's bro and fam in Houston. They left me the House. And the gun. . . *cough*
- Grandpa and Grandma (G&G) live in a travel trailer on our back two acres so they took the oportunity to spend the weekend with their grandaughter (Me!). Grandma had hip-surgery a week before so I took her to get her staples removed on Friday (awesome to watch! Ya'll should go watch staples being removed - except you, Bleckley, you'd pass out). We spent the rest of the day together.
-Saturday I slept in for the first time in forever. I spent the day "pittering" around the house and doing hw. I rented a couple movies that I would never watch with my family. 
- I got to spend Saturday afternoon talking to Valerie on the phone. She was back in town!!!! APU can't keep her from me, forever! One of these days I'll go visit her at APU.
- I ate breakfast with Andrew, Liz, and Daniel at Sonic and was at church on time, Sunday morning. Really good service and message!!
- Yahoooo!! I got to spend the rest of Sunday with Val in Reedley! She's so wonderful!!! We spent hours catching up and catching up. She spent the rest of the time trying to help me work out my plans to transfer and move down to APU, January 2007. I promised to come down to visit in January and in February. She'll be back home for Christmas so I'll get to see her between now and then!
- Home alone is really lonely, peoples! And Scary. I was fine until I would crawl into bed and my imagination would kick into high gear. My Rape nightmares returned.
- I baked 4 dozen brownies for Pharmacy Club Bake sale. By general concensus, I rule at brownies. But I'm not bragging.
- Islam presentations and Music presentations for Sociology. Papers for Shakespeare. Plenty of drugs for Pharmacy. And more papers for Literature. Midterms. . .Finals. . .
eh, I need another Mocha Frap. . .
- My car battery died so I got to drive the MUSTANG!!! A 65 beauty, Baby!! I finally got to drive my car like a sports car. . . AND NO ONE LOOKED AT ME FUNNY. lol
- So my first week ended with a Sunday afternoon spent with Heather! And Stevie.  We went out to a five star resturant - Taco Bell! Yeah, too bad Quinn can't get us a discount at Slate's. Anyways, we watched LOTR cuz Stevie wanted to. But we ended up ditching him and shopping at Old Navy. Girlie stuff.
- I flew out to Houston on Wednesday to join my fam for Thanksgiving and only just got back. It is Gorgeous there - and I hate Texas. Infact, I'm not a fan of any of the states I've seen. Maybe it's prejudice. But I do love the Dallas Cowboys!!!! lol, I love "cowboys" in general. But seriously, I'm so happy cuz I actually found and bought my very own Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt in Dallas. Peter and I mourned our "boys" loss on Thanksgiving. And to Denver of all teams!!!! Stupid Broncos. It was our fault though. We should have made that feild goal and won the stupid thing w/out going into overtime. But, as Peter says, "That's the Cowboys, though. That's what they're known for." Heh, just like the. . .
- Go Bulldogs!!!!!!! That's my Red Wave spirit right there! You should see Frestown right now. WE're celebrating loosing to CSU. Cuz they're the best team in the country and we were ahead at halftime and just barely lost. But then. . .we go and loose to dinky Nevada. We always do that to ourselves. No matter - we're still going to the Liberty Bowl!
- Ok, so enough football. Gosh, I've got soo much to say about movies, tv programs, and new songs but I just licked the last little bit of whippped heaven -er- creame off my finger and that means my java fix is sadly depleted. Your salvation is my lamantation.

Rifadin Rifampin Tuberculosis
Zyrtec Cetirizine Allergies
Synthroid Levothyroxine Hypothyroidism
Zoloft Sertraline Depression
Wellbutrin Bupropion Depression

Oh, and here's my other favorites of the week:
Adverse Reactions: "Death"
Auxillaries (the little stickers on your pill bottles that no one ever reads): "Unwrap and Insert Suppository." Key word - Unwrap. | | |
