Yeah it didn't get any better...

I still didn't get any sleep. I probably got a total of two and a half hours of sleep last night and non of it was continuous. I am so so so so so so so sleepy! I just wish I could crawl into my bed right now. But no of course I can't I have school until 5:00 :( So sad for this girl! Anyway just was giving you an update. I'm gonna take a Tylenol PM tonight and sleep forever!!!!!! It will be wonderful! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!!

I despise sleepless nights!

I have been laying in bed for almost an hour and a half now, and I don't even feel a little tired. Why does this happen? I need sleep more than ever and I can't get all the thoughts and to do lists out of my head long enough to settle down and sleep. I just wish I could sleep!! So, I will try and do some of the things on my to do lists and see if that calms me down enough... hopefully it will.... I will keep you posted!

I'm So Proud!!

Taylor has been working on losing weigh lately and from the 4th of October he has lost 11.2 lbs. I am so stinkin proud of him!!! He has said before that he wanted to loose weight for our wedding but I never really thought anything of it. But he is serious! He really is doing it and he is doing a darn good job at it too! I can't even begin to say how proud I am of my Honey!!!

A day to start saving

For some reason today I have been inspired to do everything possible to save some money. I went online and have sold one of my old text books for $34.00 and I still have a couple of good ones at my mom's house I can sell. Hopefully I will get some good money for those too. Also I have decided that I am going to try and keep about $100.00 a month for things like Christmas (which still will be a very non-impressive Christmas I apologize in advance) and my Wedding. I try to do my best saving money with coupons and buying things on sale but I feel like I still never have money for things I want to buy. So I have decided to make things happen and I'm gonna do it! I am tired of stressing about money... So now I will do something about it!






**UPDATE**I went home and sold more books... Total Sales $126.61!!!! Go me! I'm so excited right now. Granted I probably spent $1000.00 buying all of these books, but I am going to focus on the $126 coming into my pocket and not focus on the fact that I am actually $-900. Christmas is looking up people you should be excited!!

Sometimes you just have to stop and thank Him

I was driving the other day and just happened to have my camera with me and I decided to take a picture of what I was looking at. There is darkness on one side but it leads to light...

Sometimes it just takes my breath away, how amazing this world can be. Then it frustrates me how easily you can get wrapped up in all of this worldly mess in front of you. But He always seems to find a way to show you He is still there and He still cares. No matter if it is an act or just putting a beautiful skyline in front of you, He will find a way to remind you He still loves you and He isn't going anywhere.

Loop, Swoop, and Pull

Kyla and I have been practicing tying her shoes, and we haven't really done it a whole lot but just when I remember... Today, she tied her shoe all by herself! I was so proud of her. She still has a hard time tying her right one, I think it's hard for her to get her hands in the right place. But her left one she did it!!! She didn't hesitate at all!! I was so proud of her!!! She is growing up so fast! :)

I got a good one!

So it is a little late. But this Saturday at work I was back in the office talking to my manager Tim, while waiting for Taylor to finish his closing duties. Tim was counting the Bar's Cash drawer, and I noticed the huge stack of credit cards that have been left at Saltgrass. I asked Tim if they just keep the credit cards for ever or what they do with the things because I feel like they just multiply and the stack never gets smaller. He told me they keep them for 6 months, so I picked up the stack and started going through and picking out the ones that they had that were expired and was putting them down in front of Tim. So he started cutting up the ones that were expired and then got tried of doing that so he was like ok put them down. But I, of course, kept going just to get on his nerves. So then he acted like he was going to cut my apron and I didn't know what he was doing to I quickly put my hand down and.. RIGHT IN THE SCISSORS!!! OUCH!! I grabbed my finger and started jumping around and then Tim asked did I get you? What it felt like to me was a bone on bone so I just opened my hand to show him and there was a pool of blood! YIKES! So my finger just kept bleeding and bleeding and bleeding, So then Tim started putting band-aid after band-aid on my finger and it just kept bleeding. So I went out to show Taylor and he basically just told me to suck it up. But I really thought it was worse than Taylor made it out to be. So, Taylor finished and as we started walking to our cars I asked him if he thought I should go to the ER. He said well what do you think? With all of your experience and knowledge would you tell someone to go to the ER? I said yes. So he was like UGH ok lets go rinse it at home and make a final decision. So we did. and I called my mom and she said that she thought I should. So I went in the house and took of the 7 layers of band-aids and found that my finger had bleed through all 7 layers. So I tried to wipe it off a little and just really decided that I needed to go to the ER. So I told Taylor and we changed and off we went. Taylor had called Tim to tell him and see if we couldn't get Saltgrass to pay for the visit but Tim said it would be way too much of a hassle to do that and that he would just pay out of pocket since it was his fault. So we got to the ER and signed it and were quickly pulled back. After 45 min. of waiting in a room with no light turned on the RN came in and then the PA showed up. They decided that I needed stitches and since I couldn't decide if I had my tetanus shot in the past 10 years they had to get me one of those too.... So we waited for all kinds of things but, when all was said and done I Laura Cannon Piland had to get 5 stitches in my finger (and I watched them stitch me...It was AWESOME!!) and the cut is right at the top knuckle of my left ring finger so I have to wear a splint to keep it straight so I don't tear the stitches out. I wanted to put up pictures but I didn't want to offend or gross anyone out. So if you are a freak like me and wanna see it I will send them to you.

I'm alive!!

I am so sorry that I haven't posted lately. I have so much crazy stuff going on right now that I just don't seem to have time. Right now I am sitting in the PEB (the building where all of my Kinesiology classes are) and using my lap top to find wonderful things and catch up on my life. I didn't have my 12 o'clock class today because my teacher is Jewish and today is Yom Kippur. So she cancelled class. HOORAY FOR JEWISH TEACHERS!! :) Anyway, so I was sitting here and I realized that I hadn't blogged on here in ages. I can't even begin to tell you all that has happened since I have blogged last so I won't even try. But I promise to make a better effort at keeping up! I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

My life in a Song

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in loveIt's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight when you need to find the strength

It's the faith that makes you stronger

The only way you get there

Is one step at a time
