Work it Girl!

     I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm a fat-ass.  Not that I'm overweight but I eat a lot of junk and sit on the computer more than I should.  I didn't think the "Freshman 15" was a real thing but I was mistaken! I feel like I'm at the point in my life where it's all about prevention and I'll be honest, I want to be good looking forever and could totally benefit from shedding some tummy. Lately I've gone to the gym a couple times with my friend, Leah.  I'd never workout at a gym before(Well actually I'd just never workout before) so I definitely kicked my butt exercising while trying to play it off because it's embarrassing how out of shape I am.  I think I'll get a membership now because in the end it felt good to workout but my only fear is that my boobs will shrink.  I know that's such a stupid reason to not workout but I like them. Man, I have excuses for everything I better go make myself sign up right now.

Creepy Teachers

     Do teachers text you to ask how you're doing? Do teachers email you practically daily to ask about your personal life? Do teachers want to have multiple meetings with you in a week? Do teacher's give you opportunities for better grades that they don't give other student's? NO, because it's creepy and unprofessional! Dear professor at my school, I'm hoping you're just an overly friendly person and not a perv, but either way you're totally creeping me out! So glad that semester's over...

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

     Every year the weekend after Thanksgiving my family cuts down a Christmas tree then puts it up.  Of course Blondie was elected as the cutter since my dad thinks he needs to "man-up". It didn't take long, we're not picky unlike Blondie's family who takes over an hour an a half to find a freakin' tree. The tree farm was the most redneck place though having all the helpers dresses in camo and selling ornaments with buck on them and shot-gun shell Christmas lights. 

I should also mention that my dad is the King of Christmas(actually, I think I've mentioned it before).  We never use two of the same ornaments on the tree because he owns an estimated three hundred of them! I'm unsure of how this obsession started but not one inch of that tree is left untouched.  Blondie and I spent like two hours filling it up to my dad's expectations then celebrated our accomplishments by, of course, ordering in Chinese food :)

Happy Needless Turkey Murder Day!

     First off, being a vegetarian at Thanksgiving sucks! It wouldn't have been so bad if my aunt would have remembered that I don't eat meat and everything didn't have broth in it. I love my aunt though and her home is lovely, I don't know how she keeps it so clean! Blondie was suposed to tag along but his mom says we're not allowed to spend holidays together until we're married(?).  I've learned not to argue with her, she's crazy. The drive to my aunt's house about five hours away was one of the most enjoyable ones I've had, especially since I didn't have to drive.  I took a nap and woke up in a snow storm then found some Willie Nelson ice cream at Sheetz, score! We spend that night watching "Pumpkin Chukin'" which was also the epitome of awesome-ness.

Blondie's New Girlfriend.

     Blondie is a manly man and I love that about him.  He's always wanted an old car to fix up so he recently bought a '73 Chevy Nova.  Yeah, it looks like crap but he has big dreams for it.  He's trying to teach me how to work on it too but I'm content with just holding the flashlight as the extent of my help. He's so excited it's adorable and it's all he talks about, hence why I say it's his new girlfriend, he even called it a "she"! Of course it's just a money pit at this point but who am I to talk with all the money I spend on beauty products.  I'm honestly just excited for when it's summer and he'll get all greasy working on it with his shirt off.  Yeah, I'm that girl. I'm also the girl who feels the need to post a random picture of myself because I looked good that day.

Rest in Peace Miriam Jean Rash.

     This is a sad post but I want to honor my Grandmother who passed away in November.  She died on November, 8th at age 71.  She didn't take the best care of her health and had a blood clot.  Her and my grandfather were married over 52 years at the time of her death and met when my grandmother was just fifteen. My mother's side of the family is deaf so we had a deaf service for her and it was an emotional time for everyone in my family.  I was the first of the grand children to give a speech which I want to include here.

     "We are all gathered here today because we share one thing: Our love for Miriam Rash, my grandmother. She is such a wonderful woman,  I say "is" because she will never cease to exsist to me.  She lives in my thoughts, in my heart and I even see her within me. I am honored to be her grand daughter and I know I will see her and hug her again in heaven"

 Being a person who has a lot of social anxiety it took a lot of strength for me to get up and say that especially in such an emotional state.  My grandfather is still devastated but it honestly still doesn't feel real to me still.  I wasn't expecting her to leave so soon.  I miss you grandma.

Ew, Needles.

     Am I the only person who freaks out over any type of shot? I'm seriously that person who still cries when I get the flu shot and don't even get me started when I have to have blood drawn! I have to lay down and request the "baby-sized" needle.  I don't get why I think it's so bad but something about taking my blood is just gross to me.  I had it done a couple times recently and I had my dad come with me, yeah it's that bad.  The nurse must think I'm the biggest wuss and well she's probably right but hey, I'm protective of my blood! The sad part is the 3-year-old that went before me didn't even shed a tear.

Halloween! (Insert Scary Laugh)

     Halloween is perhaps my favorite holiday and when my friend, Allison, threw a party a few days before I was majorly excited!  I went as "Jessica Rabbit" and Blondie was a robot, or "boy-bot" as I'd like to say. He made the costume himself. We were the first ones to arrive( yeah, I was that eager) and it was so great to see all of my friends.  For some reason Blondie and I don't hang out with each other's friends very often but I was excited to take him around.

I'm not much of a dancer so I just ate a lot of dip but of course I got funky to R.Kelly's "Remix to Ignition".  Allison's boyfriend, Caleb, and his brother had some of the best dancing and Blondie just kinda stood there.  Apparently he's awkward at parties but that didn't surprise me at all since the whole awkward shy thing is part of his sexiness in a weird way. Eventually the music got a bit too "indie-rock" for my tastes so we went upstairs and played with the cat that was dressed as a lobster.  Half the party was in the garage smoking pot anyway.  Eventually Blondie felt sick from the cider/rum so we went home and snuggled.

Why in the World Would Anyone Spend Over $100 on Makeup in One Day?

This was October, ignore the date.

I went to the mall to buy a new foundation and, of course, get sucked into to all the makeup hype! It's like freakin' candy to me so when Jotina from the Lancome counter informed me of a makeup artist coming for an all day event a little party went off inside me.  I signed right up and even put $20 down to reserve me space for a makeover. 

When the day of the "Tommy Event" arrived I even called in to double check that my spot was reserved. The makeup artist named, you guessed it, Tommy came up to and him and his assistant began complimenting me.  "Oh you have such great skin!" "Oh, look at those eyelashes!" Man, did they know how to smooth talk! Ok, I actually do have freakishly long eyelashes but none the less they were trying to butter me up.  He gave me a heavy winged eyeliner look with natural colored lips.  He said I looked like a model and began to show me off to the other "makeup people". When it came time to leave they swung me by the counter and asked what I'd like.  I was only after a foundation but they insisted I need EVERYTHING.  I didn't get everything but I bought lipgloss(I don't even like lipgloss!), "illuminizer"(whatever the hell that is), mascara and foundation.  It totaled over a hundred dollars, I'm a sucker.  I'm too nervous to walk by that section on Macy's now.

Dang, I suck.

     I was all excited about this blog and trying to write daily and, yeah, that's not realistic.  I actually felt bad when I missed a day(OCD much?) and then for some reason just went M.I.A.  Yeah, I suck, but I'm back! So ignore the dates, I'm just going to fill in on past events.  Enjoy :)
