Dearest...Monday

Mondays in the summer are strange...actually every day in the summer is strange, because the days seem to all run together and there is not a regular routine to hold me in place. But according to calendars and blog posts, it is Monday. So here are some Dear Monday letters :)


Dear Monday of July 30th, I cannot believe this is the last Monday in July! eek! Where has this year gone? Well, here's hoping I can be productive and fruitful today. Perhaps I'll tackle that math placement test for school? (Yeah, yucko) We shall see.

Dear jaw, please stop being in pain. And please function normally soon. I'd love to eat like a human again, and not like a bird with a really tiny beak (that being said, my family nickname IS Allie Bird....hmm...)

Dear bronchitis, go away. You have overstayed your welcome, and I never really wanted you here in the first place. I am merely putting up with you because I have no choice. Well, shoo!

Dear Houston, I cannot wait to live in you (that sounds odd.........) in just a few weeks! I've been packing already, and am super duper excited :) :) :) I'm like a little kid with a birthday coming up! (Well..actually...September 12th isn't all that far away....... ;) just sayin.....)

Dear Michael, thank you for putting up with another week of emotional Allie. I know I keep going from "I'm having a great day!" to "I'm so sad" and I can hardly keep up with it myself. You must be a patient man, and I love you and appreciate you very very much. I also thank you for sending me sappy emails when I'm truly sad and in pain.

Dear Elise, your recordings make me smile, and your emails make my day :) You're pretty awesome!

Dear Arezzo, Italia....I miss you so so much....I look at my postcard of you every day, the one on my bulletin board. You changed my life, and I promise you, I will be back someday. 

Dear Bryanna, I cannot wait to be your roommate in a few weeks!

Dear Domino's, I thank you in advance for delivering wonderful pizza goodness to my house on Tuesday night. I've missed you so much, sometimes I tear up when I start to get the cravings...I really don't know if I can do long distance...thank goodness you deliver on campus, because I will be needing you every now and then.

Dear body, heal up already!

Dear Jessika, I replied to your email....as per your request ;) but now I miss you loads and really want to come visit you again. Can we make this happen please? I need farm time, karaoke time, puppy time, maybe rifle time, and some good best friend lovin time.

Dear Mom, thank you for not strangling me when I most certainly deserve it. You're a pretty cool mother, in my opinion ;) I can't wait for us to take our trip together. I also look forward to watching Dark Knight with you. You rock my socks, dearest.

Dear readers who have actually read this entire thing......I flippin love you! :) The blogging community has been so lovely and good to me, and I am truly appreciative. Thanks for coping with my ramblings! I love each and every one of you, truly :)


Have a good week!

xoxo, alexandra anne

T-minus One Month

Mamma mia......today marks three weeks until my orientation, and four weeks til I move in to my new digs at U of Houston.
I have a lot on my mind today, so it's perfect for an IT'S OK THURSDAY linkup with Amber and gals.



It's ok...


That I got my wisdom teeth out on Monday and still have puffy face today...


To cry because of overwhelming circumstances


That I'm listening to Demi Lovato right now (I really like her music, and she's an excellent role model for young girls)


That I said goodbye to Dad again today...I won't see him til Thanksgiving probably (he got to visit home for two weeks, but is heading back to Afghanistan til October) 


That I am moving in four weeks


To just need a hug


To blog to get all these thoughts out 


To make silly faces to distract myself (yup, I'm apparently 3 years old)


That I am turning 19 in less than 2 months (I just realized this the other day when mom referred to me as "almost 19." Huh. Last year as a teen. That'll be nice)


That I "stalk" my favorite bloggers :)


That I am longing for a good shopping session, and I'm not a shopper...it's strange. I'm the oddest female. 


That I love the nickname: Allie Anne (I really love any nickname if it is given in love)


That I spent three different times trying to get to the next level in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (I haven't played this one before, so I recently got it on Amazon.com, and got stuck the other night, but as of last night I'm on a new level!! Currently running around Paris, but in the sewers....hmm)


That I could do nothing but listen to music all day


That I am leaning on God; that's always ok :) 

"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving."- Colossians 4:2
