You can’t be smearious!?!?!

Good morning!

This morning I was taking a gander at some online shopping to find myself some cuter PJ’s. Because I recently realized that I’ve started dressing like a mom when I’m lounging around my apartment. I’m too young and I’m pretty sure I should pop out a few off spring before I actually start dressing like a mommy.

So, I head on over to OldNavy.com and this is what I have staring at me on the front page.

All that goes through my brain and out of my mouth is… “WTF?!?! Are you serious? Is that beautiful?”

Usually OldNavy isn’t so bad with their models. I mean, well they have the usual ridiculously slender models but this girl, shes right darn near emaciated.

I don’t know, I guess this is just another moment that makes you go “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

Blooog! - A Walk to Remember

I went on a 6 mile walk last Saturday! It was tons of fun…’sept now, every muscle in my lower body is screaming at me for walking long distances up and down hills. (I’m including some awesome pictures that I took!)

Y’know, as much and as “far” as I walk at the Gym, on a treadmill or which ever machine I choose that day, it’s nothing like actually walking 6 miles of real ground, real hills, and real cracked out homeless people living under freeway overpasses. (Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the homeless.)

Sister Sarah

This Bounty Hunter loves you!

I love the town that I live in! It’s great! And I’m so excited that it’s finally stopped raining long enough that I can go on two hour walks.

By the end of the day, my sister and I ended up at the local Farmers Market. I love the place! We met up with our Beth and Ethan and walked the market. All off us purchased some roasted nuts of various sorts and then proceeded to eat as many as we could. So, delicious! - So hungry!

There also was a great experience that involved a debit card we found, googleing for the persons name, finally calling the bank that the card was issued from, finding a bank location, and mine and Beth’s inability to understand the correct process of opening deposit boxes, which I’m sure created some highly amusing footage for the bank security to review. In the end, the card was returned to the bank and the day was saved!

My day ended with a sweet nap on my couch and a trip to a party with some of the greatest guest stars (..On The Mickie Show!) - Jesse and Christine

What I learned during my adventures last Saturday is that… 1.) I need to walk more places, more often because there is too much that I miss seeing, driving everywhere. 2.) Silly pictures are the best kind. 3.) Doing the right thing can create great stories that you’ll laugh about for ages! 4.) Falling asleep in cuddles is the best way to fall asleep, And 5.) Finding leftover “chocolate roasted” pecans in your purse at work the next day is priceless… almost as good as finding money you didn’t know you had.

Things Are Turning Up Roses… I Supposes…

*long drawn out sigh*

*deep breath*

*exhales*

Everything in life seems to be going just swell… Now I don’t mean that everything is perfect… I’ve still been forgetting to do important things, waking up late, and putting my foot in my mouth on a regular basis. I even had to goto the dentist and have a few cavities filled… and I still have two more to be filled on the 16th. Right, now I’m still recovering from the 3 I just had done, I feel like someone has punched me in the face… No joke, true story.

I’m so busy in the next few weeks, and next month… but I don’t mind… I’m not really that stressed… I have people who are mad/frustrated with me… but I don’t mind… I know I’m entitled to make my own life choices and have my own opinions…. I have craft orders to complete…. well, that last one does stress me a little bit…. But, I’ll get passed it… I’m so happy with my life for the most part, that I can’t let the little mundane things of my American existence get me down. I ‘v come to the realization that life doesn’t have to be perfect and wonderful for me to enjoy it… I just have to accept that life isn’t perfect, sometimes it is a puzzle with missing pieces and then other times it’s free cup cakes. I gotta take it as it comes…. Fo’ Sho’

Right now, I love the fact that I have people in my life that love me for who I am. I adore that fact that I have people in my life that get frustrated at me because they want me to make the “right” choice… I’m excited by the things that life is bringing me right now…

Ah… certain wonderful parts of life are so effortless… I’m so encouraged right now to just love everybody the best way that I can.

Caloric Intake - Don’t make me punch you in the mouth!

Caloric intake…

My sister is watching her calories and going to the gym like crazy…. She’s still fat but she’s losing weight and oh my gawd is she excited about it. I’m totally happy for her, because I love her and I want her to be happy.  I just get frustrated when she goes on about her calorie intake for the day. It gets me dwelling on what I’m eating and starts to bring back those feelings I use to have when I ate anything… Feelings of guilt for eating food made with real sugar, butter, uh… or any whole food ingredient… I know I’ve hurt her feelings a few times because of the way I react to her calorie conversation. I don’t mean to, my off-handed comments and passive aggressive body language are defense mechanisms… I’m just trying to keep those feelings away. I hate them. I just wanna shout “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

I admire her for her ability to take something she wants and go for it. She is so dedicated to eating right; to the rule, and going to the gym 4-5 times a week. She’s even going back to school, paying off her debt, and excelling at her job.

I on the other hand, get moderatly motived, and my dedication comes in waves. I enjoy going to the gym, but I love sleeping in more. :-) I love eating food that’s good for me, but fast food is easier and quick, and it gives me the time to get to whatever the heck else I want to do next… Sometimes I get so tired of eating. I want to work over time, to make more money, to make bigger payments on old debt. But, I can’t bring myself to come in early or stay late. I want to just stay home and not go out and eat with friends, but I get so bored and lonely that I help but go when I’m asked.

Her and I are two very different creatures… She likes the stability of knowing she’s doing what’s “right” and I like to feel happy and laugh and relax.  I guess you could even say that I like to be lazy. *Humph*

Today though, I feel mildly productive… I woke up early and since I’ve been on this awesome new schedule I’m on, means I woke up around 12:45pm.   I woke up in the mostest, bestest, wonderfulest way ever, a phone call from a swell guy (Peaches). I did 2 loads of laundry, worked on some crochet orders, re-painted my toe nails all before 4:50pm. And now I’m writing a blog, for what seems like the first time in a million years. I’ve missed it.

Well, now it’s snowing… Hey! Weather, don’t you know it’s spring?!?!?!

I’ve gotta go get in the shower and head to work. Much love!

Because I Like To Party…

OMG! It’s been way, way, way too long since I’ve written… I am so truly sorry! I’ve been so sick… I’m just now, barley feeling mostly normal….

Well, to get you up to date…. My hair growing is going well. My hair continues to grow at a reasonable and steady pace.

-I’ve been digging the gym, attempting to go, even with a stuffed up nose and a horrible cough.
-I stated a new schedule at work, working 6:30pm - 3:00am it’s all right, but I do miss the buddies to hang out with after work… I save money though… But, I sadly miss Karaoke Monday’s with Christine, Mel, Ryan, Sandra… and that one time the glorious Misters Jesse Brown and Robert “Sally” Lund. Jesse’s the raddest!

Sad news not too much else has happend….

In the very near, near, near future I will blog a real blog… One with awesome insight and filled my adorable antics… But, for now I’m just letting you dear, know that I am alive, I’m ridiculously content right now, and I just ate the best piece of pizza I’ve ever had!

Peace and Chicken Grease!
