I haven't vented about my family in quite some time, so here goes. I grew up with my Dad and brother,and up until 2 years ago it was just us. Well, my dad and Linda dated for about 10 years so we all knew it was coming, and some of us knew it was going to be a disaster. Linda hates my brother and I for the pure fact that me and Kevin were his first. Linda, who I lovingly call "The Step-monster" has two girls of her own (Katie and Mandy). Since my dad got remarried there has been no end to the unfairness between the Russell kids and the Davis kids. You see Linda wears the pants, which is quite a change considering my dad has always been the dominating one since I can remember. Linda's kids are always placed first before my brother and I. My dad makes the money, but my step-mom spends it...hmmmm.

1) Who has the nicest car....Katie

2) Who dropped out of school and didn't work and had the parents pay rent....Katie

3) Who had to do without a car so that Katie could be accommodated...ME

4) Who has to give up their bed's so that others can sleep more comfortably...Me and Kevin

5) Who goes over on minutes with their cell phone and doesn't pay for it...Katie

6) Who goes over on minutes and has to pay every dime...me

7) Who has transferred from Jonesboro, Arkansas to Detroit, Michigan, and from Michigan to Atlanta, Georgia dropping out of school each time having the parents pay for all moving expenses...Katie

8) Who makes just below a 3.0 two semesters in a row and has to pay for ALL education on her own....ME

9) Who totaled 3 cars, (including mine) and was bought a new one...Katie

10) Who drives a piece of crap car that barely starts in the mornings...Kevin

All of the situations listed are CRAP! I have put up with this for a while now, and it doesn't seem to get any better.

HARSH  REALITY:  1)My dad will always give in to Linda whether it is right or wrong, it doesn't matter. What Linda says goes!

2) Money is evil! I would rather be poor and happy living in a double wide than be rich and miserable living with LINDA!

3) Linda must be TRI-polar, because BI-polar would be far to easy.

4) If you cannot discuss EVERYTHING with your spouse then that's not much of a marriage is it?

Brandon and I went to see Rascal Flatts!!! They were amazing! I am looking in to getting tickets to the Dallas show too, thats how great they were. My favorite part was being able to spend 3 days with the Hottest Aggie fan on the planet! Anyway, school has pretty much been crap. I am on chapel probation...yeah, since I am transferring I guess they are gonna do a whole lot about that. I have two major projects due pretty soon, so this girl is going to be in the library (place of doom)a lot more.

On a lighter note... I was craving some chips, so I walked down to the vending machine only to see ANOTHER note saying this machine is out of order. Mind you I wrote a HUGE poster that said (and I quote) "THIS MACHINE IS CRAP," but was there any need to replace my sign? Anyway, so I looked on the floor and saw all of the signs that had fallen off of the machine. What does this mean? NOBODY FIXED IT! I am not one to use the vending machine that often, but usually when I actually use it, its because we don't have food in our apartment. Long story short, I crawled behind the machine and under the machine and found the phone number for maintenance, and I called them. The conversation about like this:

Stewie: Yello ( we will call him Stewie for lack of a better name)

Kim: Hi, I am calling because your machine is crap.

Stewie: I'm sorry

Kim: Yeah, I have paid just about as much for the junk food in your machines as I did tuition this year. I am pretty sure my education is worth a little bit more than a package of twinkies, so could you please fix your machine?

Stewie: Sure, where is your machine and we will send someone over right now.

Kim: Harding University

Stewie: Thank you ma'am but I mean WHERE at harding is this machine, I am quite sure there are more than one.

Kim: Sorry about that yes, Searcy Hall

Stewie: ok, we will be right over.

I tell you this tale because of the humor I find in it. The machine has been broken for about a month. The signs come down from it and people put more and more money in that stupid machine, and yet no food comes down. I didn't bother to tell them its a girls dorm and we have curfew at 11:00 (it was only 10:55 ooopsy). There are men outside our locked dorm trying to get in and fix the Twinkie machine, and I don't feel bad for the inconvienience because of the fact that THEY KEEP ALL MY MONEY! ( I am now off my soap box )

Here is the reason my weekend was amazing!

Currently Listening Billy Currington By Billy Currington I've got a feelin' see related

Hey guess what, I'm updating!  Ok, so lets recap. I am in the process of transferring to University of Arkansas. On Friday I decided to rearrange the parts on my car by placing my fender just over my door allowing 6 inches of room to get in and out of the vehicle. Its Feng Shui really, much better Karma. So yesterday I decided to get an estimant on how much to undo the unfortunate remodeling of my car...$2,100 was the result. So I shopped around and got another estimant of $17.95 which consisted of ( Duct tape, chicken wire, and twist ties)much better deal really so I've decided to go with the cheaper of the two...Is duct tape flammable? I like the Karma that comes with the improved car, I mean after all I got a new boyfriend out of it!  I keep telling him that the new car Feng Shui is in, but he isn't really going for it as much. How can it not work, I got pulled over on Sunday going REALLY fast in a REALLY slow part of town, and I got no ticket. (must be Feng Shui) So, I am thinking of ways to get more money with the new found luck, any ideas?Ok, well I am going to bed. GOOD NIGHT!

P.S. Was it because of Feng Shui that I got the most amazing Valentines Day gift from the most amazing boy friend? ........Nope!
