So what did you do those three days you were dead?

I hate being a girl.

But it always makes me feel better to lock myself in my room and blast brand new, screaming along every now and then.

If you want something done right…

Don’t you ever ask Jake to do it.
Exhibit A:


This is what the kid does when asked to put the tape away.

Yes, he taped up ever air hole used to breathe...
Obviously it doesn't phase him.

some things never change

Considering I was in Peoria for almost a whole stinkin’ week from Thursday till Tuesday night, I told my self to stick it out in Gilbert this weekend.

I lasted till Friday afternoon at around 12:53 before deciding to pack up and head to Peoria.

I will never grow up and leave home. Never. I think something is wrong with me…

Of course on my way home, I had a legitimate excuse to stop at Snottsdale mall and shop. See last week I ordered a beautiful new bedspread from Urban and I wanted free shipping… so I kind of spent $200 to get my free shipping. I kept my bedspread, and one if the shirts I ordered… then returned everything else. They must really hate me for doing this to them all the time…

&while I did return almost everything I ordered, I ended up finding a million other things I wanted... typical.

its my party...

I turned 21 years old on Friday, February 13th, 2009.
&I’ll be honest; it was one of my best birthdays yet.

Thursday night started it all off by going to Oreganos for appetizers, salads and pizookies with 5 of my favorite ladies.




Aaaand I even got a free pizookie, it being my birfday and all.


Friday, I helped my marmmy make crème brulee (my desert request in lieu of a traditional barfday cake), and then we went out to lunch at Houston’s down town. They have amazing shoestring French fries… I then found some major deals at Last Chance- 5 skirts, a shirt, a swim top, a bracelet, and a hideous Guatemalan headband for my mam- all for 30 bucks! The rest of the day consisted of the Biltmore shopping center, and a few random boutiques we hit up on our way back home.

Once I go home (after I had to take all my little brothers friends’ home and after the sent me on a wild goose chase to find their actual houses and then wouldn’t get out of my car… until I forced them), I came home and my family decorated the kitchen with full on Tinkerbelle streamers, balloons, and kitchenware… I’m not sure why they chose Tinkerbelle, but it was the thought that counts. They even got me a cheap plastic crown and hot pink boa. Lovely, really, lovely... But we did enjoy a delicious meal from Pei Wei followed by the delectable crème brulee.

Hayface also came over and gave me an amazing drawing, and stayed to watch one of the worst movies imaginable. She really is a trooper.

did you know...





I love rainy days.
I love ice cream.
I love eating ice cream in a mug, while its freezing cold and raining outside.
Actually that’s a slight fabrication. I could eat ice cream no matter
what the temperature or weather is like out side.


What I do not like is getting woken up at 4 in the morning due to the loudest garbage truck ever heard by man, that sets off car alarms who do not like to stop. Specifically mine.


everything starts where it ends

It's that time of year again... You know, when I decided to spice up my life by drastically altering my hair color...




So I am blonde. Yet again.

25 Random Things

Facebook is a very smart network. Today I deactivated my account, and in the process it pulls up random pictures of me with various other individuals. Saying that each every one of them will miss me. Tricky indeed, especially when I haven’t talked to some of them in months.

So today marks day: one, of the anti-facebook movement. Considering this day is mostly over, I technically shouldn’t count day one until tomorrow, but too bad.

But I will jump on one facebook game bandwagon, and write down 25 random things about myself, for who ever cares to read them.

1. I love dying my hair different colors. It’s different every month.
2. I am addicted to diet coke, and everyone who has met me knows this.
3. I am going to become a naturopathic doctor in about 5 years, just you wait.
4. My little brother is one of my best friends, but he is also the most annoying person I have ever met.
5. I love that my dad got a vita-mix for Christmas because every night I am home he makes a new smoothie concoction. Some are extremely good, and some are... creative.
6. I moved out 3 years ago, and have driven the long drive home almost every single weekend whether I was living in Tempe, Scottsdale, or Gilbert. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
7. I would love to open up a boutique someday, especially with my gorgeous friend Debra.
8. I am the most capricious person you will ever meet.
9. I have now started to cook when I am procrastinating doing homework. My family loves it.
10. When I was in kindergarten I told everyone I wanted to be a cowgirl when I grew up.
11. I have a bad habit of shopping; it’s a guilty pleasure of mine.
12. I’d much rather stay at home than go to a party with a gazillion people.
13. I love swings.
14. I’m cold almost all the time
15. I have the hardest time going to bed before 12:30 (and sometimes even way later), but I could sleep the day away.
16. I am NOT a morning person.
17. I love kitties, but hate cats.
18. I am a huge fan of antique and thrift stores.
19. Finding 25 random things about myself is a lot harder than I thought.
20. When I was little I collected butterfly wings off the front grills of cars… I was extremely odd.
21. Macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite foods.
22. I’m tremendously socially awkward.
23. In two weeks my family will be moving out of the house that I lived in for about my entire life.
24. Fall is my favorite season. When I grow up I want to live somewhere where the leaves actually change colors.
25. I love taking baths over showers any day.

of course my first blog consists of me ranting about school....

For the next 3.5 months, I have restricted my self solely to school. I’m taking so many credits that when people ask me what I am taking, I can’t even remember the names of each class. Sad really.

So here goes:

[Eng 301: Writing for Professionals] My teacher likes to record her self talking and we have to listen to her each week. She sounds EXACTLY like Phyllis from the office. In her introduction about her self, she even claims to be married to Robert Van, I almost peed my pants at the uncanny similarity of Bob Vance.
[Exw 325: Fitness for Life]
[Exw 342: Health Behavior Change]
[Exw 394: Holistic Foundations of Wellness]
[Bch 361/367: Biochemistry Lecture, Lab, and Recitation] I have to take 3 different classes for this, and its only 4 credits. Kill me now.
[Ntr 444: Medical Nutrition Therapy] I have had this same teacher for 5 classes now. She is Puerto Rican and often pronounces herbs as Herbs (with the H being very prominent) and instead of properly saying charts or charting, she calls it sharts, and sharting. Rather comical when sitting in class for a full hour and 15 minutes.
[Phy 111: Physics lecture and lab]: Have you ever seen Jimmy Neutron? Well his teacher is this old lady that has the screechiest voice that gradually goes up at the end of every word and or sentence. But I mean this voice is scratchy. That’s my physics teacher in a nutshell.
= 23 magnificent credit hours!!

I have so much to do for each class, its not even funny. I feel so overly happy when I finish one project, then school has to go poop on my parade when I realize I have another one due the very next day. It’s a never-ending cycle.

I can’t sleep what so ever. Last night I was exhausted by 9 o’clock, but couldn’t actually fall asleep until about 3:45 or 4 am… I’m not sure if it is the stress of school finally taking an effect after being totally devoid in my life as a professional student for the past what, like 18 years of life?

All I know is that it is utterly ridiculous and this nonsense needs to stop.
