Only Ashley

I have recently been reminded that there are so many things that happen to me that are rare and oddly humorous, so I thought I would start to document them for entertainment purposes.  I have often been told that my life would make for an awesome reality show, so let's call it "Only Ashley"
Where to begin.....

  • There was the time that I was driving and hit a poor little Mexican man on a bicycle.....but I am still sticking to my story that it was his fault....it really was!
  • There was the time that I had my axel on my truck break...3 times....while driving....and once on my birthday.
  • There was the time I tried to pass a garbage truck and got ran off the road into an old lady's yard and almost went through her house.
  • There was the time I got knocked out by a professional volleyball player's spike and it caused me to have swelling on my scalp, making my face oddly shaped.
  • There was the time I put Visine A drops in my eyes and it dilate my pupils to where there was no blue left, and then having my mom wake me up every hour with a flashlight in my eyeball to make sure I was not suffering from a brain injury.
  • There was the time I hit a bussard while driving, bouncing its  caracas into the back of my truck.
  • There was the time I got lost so badly I drove over the Howard Franklin 4 times.
  • There was the time I crashed my uncles computer by typing in "I want to play Sammy"..... a game with a worm named Sammy that I played as a child.
  • There was the time I threw my back out trying to lift a 400lb compressor and was bed bound for 5 days.
  • There was the time I dropped my mom flat on her back while I was trying to carry her to her room after taking an ambien and falling asleep on the couch...in what seemed to be a coma.
  • There was the time I did $1800.00 worth of damage on my car for running up onto a water gutter.
  • There was the time I charged $22,000.00 to my parents credit card on accident while trying to pay $2,000.00 for my college courses. 
  • There was the time me and my sister dislocated my niece's arm while swinging her over puddles.
  • There was the time I tripped and fell, throwing my glass of grape juice all over my front door and rug, dying it purple.  
  • There was the time I spent the first night of my honeymoon violently vomiting and diarrheaing.
  • There was the time I passed out in the shower on the 2nd day of my honeymoon.
  • There was the time I said "hey man, what's up?"......to a teenage girl that strongly resembled a boy.
  • There was the time I got knocked unconscious and had my glasses broke while playing wiffle ball.
  • There was the time I got massive diarrhea on my big date with Andres and he had to stop at 4 gas stations on the way home.....needless to say, it took our relationship to the next level.
Anywho, these are just a few to mention.....sadly.....there are many, many more.  Hope you got a laugh, I live to entertain:)

Late 20's

Well, it is official....I have now entered the late 20's.  I never thought I would be 27!  Being the baby of 4 children, you never really feel old b/c you are still the youngest, but I must admit, I am kinda freakin out about being close to 30! But I don't wanna talk about it b/c I start to breathe heavy and sweat in my socks.

Anywho, this has been a crazy last few months, hence the lack of blogging.  They always say that the 2nd year of teaching is the best, and yet....as always...I have to be the exception.  Don't get me wrong, I love my students this year and I feel so much more prepared and confident this year in my teaching, but man, I am getting hornswaggled on the administration end!  Though I can not tell you the details.....due to possibility this could be seen, take my word for it........2nd year has kicked my butt and I could not be more anxious for summer!

Moving on to more pleasant things, me and my Latin celebrated our 1 year annivrsary November  12th!! I can't believe it has been a whole year!  We are very happy and I can't wait to see what this next year holds!
Celebrating your anniversary and birthday one week apart is normally a crummy deal, but my hubby took me on a relaxing vacation to a B&B for our anniversary and then surprised me with a new ring for my birthday......he is learning so fast!  

These are just a few things that have recently made my life crazy.....stay tuned for more!
