Words of Wisdom from the Not So Wise

I started hanging out with my cousin recently. She is younger then myself and i was thinking of all the things i could teach her that I have learned while growing up. I figured I could pass it on to my readers as well. Now I must warn you, not all of my lessons that i learned are necessarily good. But they will either make you think or laugh.

Lesson 1: Always be you... whoever that is- I have come to realize that when you are completely you in everything you do, people start reacting in kind. And it is SO much better dealing with a real person than a fake one lol

Lesson 2 : If you have a need for speed... Don't drive at the end of the month - Cops have a quota for speeding tickets ( stupid i know, but if you think about it, that is how they raise money for their county) and at the end of the month all the cops who haven't met said quota will be out looking for prey. Watch OUT!

Lesson 3: Everything is an Adventure.. even if it isn't fun - If you look at everything as an adventure, every new experience, every day, then you find that you enjoy it more.

Lesson 4 : Always Observe... then jump in, if necessary - Watch everything that goes on around you. One it is normally pretty interesting and Two you start picking up useful info. For example by watching people you start to notice things such as when they are lying or how to read body language.

Lesson 5: Be happy!... Even if that means sometimes not being happy- Life is short, we have heard that a million times, but sometimes i don't think it clicks for us. Try to find something enjoyable in all aspects of life and when it comes down to choosing a job, try finding one that suits you and doesn't make you feel like a monkey.

Lesson 6: Watch the movie!... Don't give it away! - This lesson is thanks to my cousin Tanner and my friend Becca. When watching a movie. If you haven't seen it before, flippin' watch the movie so you don't have to keep nudging your friend ( me) and ask What happened? If you have seen it before, keep your little mouth shut so the other viewer (me) can be surprised when bad guy #3 gets killed by the good guy.

 All I can think of for now. I will more than likely think of a billion more as soon as i post this but oh well. That will be a post later on then. Hope this helped in some small way :)

A night on THE HILL!

So my mother's birthday was Weds. but we didn't get to celebrate it till tonight. So we ended up going to Zias which is this AMAZING italian resturant down on the hill. If you don't know, The Hill,  is this small community in down town STL filled with Italians. Italian resturants, Italian bakeries, and tons of italian families. I LOVE it there! I would love to live there if it wouldn't require leaving all my friends, my church and one of my jobs behind. So we go to Zias and we had to wait for 45 minutes to get a table but its cool because my mom, my sister , and I were cracking up laughing the whole time. I think it had to do with lack of sleep on my sister's and my part and also the fact that going to Zias is a huge adventure for my family.  We got our seats and our waiter who seemed snooty came over and the got the ball rolling. My favorite workers there were 2 of the busboys because they werent all uppity like our waiter. My dad and my sister ate their weight in bread and i actually didn't do much eating, mostly because i was cracking jokes or trying not to laugh with soda in my mouth ( it ends up showering people and for some INSANE reason, they don't like that so...)  The meal was really good. I suggest the Cavatelli! It is my all time favorite food! The ride home was a little bit more subdued but only because my mom wasn't feeling good and my dad was being a party pooper. Oh plus my dad is a slow driver so it seemed to take FOREVER to get home ( which is what my Facebook status refers to in case you were wondering) which of course became something else my sister and i were giggling about. All in all a pretty successful evening. I will leave out telling you about how i had to wake up at 4:30 AM and Max threw up when we got home. Because they seem to be mood killers lol. I hope to leave you in a mood for a family outing that involves pasta. How did i do? :)

A TV Episode Life

I know, I know! Its been FOREVER since i have posted. I apologize.  Life seems to have a way of going so fast that its hard to even take a deep breath every once in awhile. So i have to tell you some things. I have a new job! Yeah! I'm not really excited though, in fact i have been feeling worried and slightly, or more than slightly if im being completely honest, panicy about it. It is something I have never done before and I don't know what to expect which makes me, a die hard worry wart, nervous. There has been issues along the way too, for example, I found out today ( I start tomorrow) what time I am actually starting, what i am supposed to wear, and that i will be required to work Saturdays and some Sundays. For those of you who don't really know me, finding stuff like this out at the last minute drives me BONKERS!!! My poor friend Rich had to put up with me when I was uber mad about it. And it caused me to fight with my parents. I kept trying to tell myself to just trust God and stop worrying but i wasn't really handing it over. And then about 10 minutes ago while i was in the bathroom ( doesn't the best ideas occur in this room?) I realized that everything would be fine. I almost laughed at myself for getting so caught up in the worry when I should just hand it all over to God and focus on doing my best while knowing that God will take care of the rest of it. Anyways all of this reminded me of an TV episode. You know where there is this HUGE problem and somehow in 30 minutes to a hour everything gets fixed. I was wishing for a TV episode life when all the problems started popping up. But really? I already have one. I know that at the end of every experience God is going to use it for his glory. Hope this helped you look at life a little differently.

Lack of Oxygen~

Sorry i havent been on here in awhile. Life seems to be passing me WAY too quickly. I havent found a new job yet but im working at Jimmy Johns part time so at least im out being productive lol. I dressed up as a construction worker for Halloween and then went over to my second mom's house and played board games with my friend and her boyfriend. Speaking of boys... ;) I met someone! Thats all I am going to say now... I don't wanna jinx it. But I am in a freakishly bad mood right now. My dad is driving me crazy! Don't get me wrong I love him and I normally get a kick out of hanging out with him. But lately it feels like all he does lately is talk about how to 'fix me' or guilt trips me into something. Idk its not important, you will have to forgive me, I am in one of my moods. So how have you been? Do anything interesting for Halloween?

I may just EXPLODE!!!!

As you might know ( if you read my last post), I recently lost my job. For those of you who don't know me very well, I must confess to being a big, BIG worrywart! So normally i would have reacted to such dreadful news by doing what i do best, worrying, but this time was different. Yes, I was upset, and yes, I cried but I am actually quite at peace about the whole thing. And I wanna tell you why. Lately I have been trying to focus on God more and more and i sometimes fail but when i succeed, when I can feel him, it is the most AWESOME experience. And when anyone focuses on God  and has a relationship with him it becomes easier to see that God, the God who created EVERYTHING, including a very odd blonde who talks to much and laughs weird ( thats me in case you were wondering lol), that God has a plan. And his plan trumps my plan any day of the week. Which is saying something because I am a really really good planner lol. So instead of focusing on the things i don't have, such as a boyfriend, a good  job, or a car that actually works right. God has been subtly showing me what I do have. I have more friends then I deserve, even if I do whine about them sometimes, I have a Sunday School class that i absolutely adore that challenges me to get closer to God. I have my baby Max, who always makes me smile. I have parents who put up with me and sometimes understand me ( NO ONE understands me ALL THE TIME, except of course for God). I have intelligents, although i can hide it like no one's business lol, I'm not  beautiful or even pretty for that matter, which used to drive me INSANE but i do have a natural gift for talking (hahah go figure right?) to people and making friends. The coolest thing by far that I have is God, I mean really? What could be better than having the God of EVERYTHING in MY corner, loving me unconditionally, with a plan for my life that will totally rock my socks?! I challenge you my faithful or not so faithful reader(s) to sit and really look over everything you have, and if that doesn't brighten your day, well then go gets some chocolate and do it all over again ;)

Another chapter ends

I am going to do my rant one more time, just so i have it on record lol. Yesterday i was fired from my latest job. They used the word 'terminated' i guess to make it sound no so bad, but polish a turd its still a turd. I went to work Monday and when i asked the security guard to give me a badge he said " You have been terminated". I didn't believe him but he showed me on the computer that i had indeed been terminated by Pam , my old boss, on Friday. I called the temp company that i had been working through and she said she would look into it. She called me back and informed me that I had been terminated from the position due to missing work due to being sick and cheating on my time card. Let me explain. Pam told me from the get go that if you didn't feel good you should stay home. The place where i work doesn't have windows or anything so if one person gets sick, then it gets passed around easily. So one day when i was feeling dizzy (which is never good when you are climbing up and down small ladders in a hot enclosed space), i asked to go home and she immediate told me to go home and not come back til i have feeling better. I called off the next day but the day after that i was back at work. Then Friday I informed her that i might want to go home early because i had a slight fever. She almost yelled at me for coming in at all with a fever. And she MADE me go home, as in told me i wasn't allowed to work and needed to leave. So total i missed two days of work (the one full day and then the two half days), a girl i worked with missed a whole week straight and is still there. Then there is the matter of the cheating. I worked 10 hours last Monday, which since a normal shift is 8 hours, i would be getting two hours of overtime. But since i left early Friday i thought that i had to put the two extra hours onto Friday's time so it didn't look like i was getting overtime. It was a mistake, but in my defense they never told us what to do when we were faced with the situation. So i cried alittle, or maybe alot, got angry ALOT!!! And now im trying to enjoy my free time and look for a new job. I could use all the prayer i can get on the new job front. I think what stung the most was that Pam claimed to really like me and she always treated me nicely and then she didn't even have the decency to fire me to my face. Anyways, I apologize for being such a party-pooper. I hope you have had a better week so far :)

Piglet, Mississippians, Dreams, and True Love

This blog might be a little long but it is my hope that it will make you laugh, sigh, and think.  Ok I am going to explain the title in order. I, along with my sister and two friends, went to O'Charlies in Chesterfield. We got there a little over an hour before they were to close but the manager said it ok. Our waiter, David, was old and he seemed a little... well flamboyant (if that isn't how it is spelled I apologize). He kept making fun/teasing us and screwing up our orders. For example when he put the napkins down for our soda cups he accidently gave me two but when he came back with the sodas he called me a piglet for having two napkins. Let me repeat: he called ME a PIGLET!!!! I KNOW RIGHT?! Then he didn't give Arielle her salad but gave Mel her salad with arielle's dressing of choice. Halfway through the meal he starts pouring water into Arielle's cup which is pretty sad considering she had been drinking sweet tea.
Story number two. I, along with my sister and two friends (but not the same 2 friends), somehow got into a discussion on what you call a resident of a certain state. We decided that if you live in Mississippi you shall be refered to as a Mississippian lol. We also came up with Connecticutians, New Yorkies, and .... ok well I have seemed to forgotten the other one lol. SO sorry!
Story number three.  I, along with my sister and a friend ( who was present for the other two stories as well), went to lunch after church. Somehow ( and we can never recall afterwards how it got started) we got on the subject of what it would be like if we each married the guy we currently had a crush on. We were laughing in no time. You see they are brothers, and they are pretty much on the other side of the spectrum from us. My guy likes to use big words, he actually LIKES to workout, and he probably spends more time getting ready in the morning then i do in a week! Becca's guy is shorter than her, actually LIKES to workout, and never talks to her since she is shy. Mel's guy.... we guess that he is a male cheerleader for the chess team only because we don't know anything about him and have never actually had a conversation with the guy. But all three of us have impressive imaginations to say the least, so our dream future was full of laughter lol.
Story number four. I , by myself for a change lol, was reading a book ( and yes it was a romance ;0).I  got towards the end when they realize that they love each other. But they way he said it made me sigh and wanna marry the guy myself lol . So i thought i would write it out for you guys so you too can have a little romantic moment for the day.
                   He placed her hand over his heart and said "It beats for you" then he moved her hand to his lips and said "Do you feel these? They breath for you, and my eyes- they see for you. My legs walk for you, my voice speaks for you and my arms- they ache to hold you.  I love you, I love you. I see your face when i wake up in the morning, and you are all I dream about at night. Everything I am and everything I want to be...."
Now if that doesn't make you sigh and long for a piece of dove chocolate, then there is something wrong with you or you already have your romance. Enjoy your day ( oh and message me if you want the name of the book lol)

My Eye Candy is gone! GONE I TELL YOU!!!!!

Ok, so there was this guy, at work, who was/ is (wherever he is) adorable! And ladies, let me tell you , the boy smelled GOOD!!!  He was this sweetheart that started work a few days after i did at my new job. But  sadly on Monday he left early because he wasnt feeling good and no one has seen him since. Its slightly tragic because 1.) Good Eye Candy is hard to come by- Either they aren't eye candy or they love themselves too much to be attractive and 2.) Work just isn't the same if you don't have someone to dress up for or to flirt with whenever you are in the mood (five bucks says my mom is going to read this weeks AFTER i post it and she is still going to shake her head and roll her eyes at my 'goofiness' lol). Anyways thats all on that front. Moving on..... I was sick Tuesday and Wednesday and today i decided to go back and brave the world of work. BAD IDEA!!! I wore a pair of pants that had a hole right below the crotch area so i ended up borrowing a safety pin ( and by borrow i of course mean took with no intention of giving back) from a friend and tried to fix it. Well long story short (hehehe get it? like pants but not? oh nevermind!) i have a bruise on my inner thigh from the safety pin (if you mention Karma I will be forced to kill you with said safety pin), my legs hurt and the rest of my body was not ready to be standing for 8 hours in bad shoes. So i ache ALL OVER!!! And i accidently stepped on a frog coming in the front door. Well he was on the sidewalk and i didn't see him! DON'T JUDGE ME!!! He is alive (miracles of all miracles) and he bravely hopped away. ANYWAYS..... I' m uber tired so I'm going to pop Anastasia in and crash. I hope you had a good day :)

Melodramatic Moments

Ok, if you are feeling melodramatic yourself or anywhere close to the edge of tears do not read this lol. I am 20 years old which some consider to be quite young. But i feel like i want to have more out of my life by now. And before you say it, I know God's plan for me is perfect I just wish I knew some parts of it. Will i ever find my perfect job? Will i be a cat lady or will i actually find a guy suited for me? Will i always live in Missouri or will i be able to explore the world? Will my life be dull and predictable or will there be excitment? Its times likes these where it is hard to say "Ok God, i will wait for you to show me what to do". I found a guy that i had a HUGE crush on in middle school, on facebook. He is HOT!!!! And it prompted the whole trip down memory lane. Then there is this guy..... who i part love part hate with mixed emotions. Sorry guys to be such a downer tonight, i just really wanted to talk to someone.

They took the words right out of my mouth

Ok so something weird is going on. I can't think of anything to say. I KNOW! I am shocked too lol. So i decided to make today's blog all about other people's thoughts and opinions. Enjoy!

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.” -Unknown

“God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.”- Unknown

“Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain” -Unknown

Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”-Unknown

“Limits exist only in the mind”-Unkown

“To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”-Bernard Edmonds

“The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened-Unkown

Hope that made you think just a little bit. Also i hope you enjoyed my little color scheme thingey lol

Intelligent thoughts while sitting on the toilet

HI! lol. I added my facebook profile to my links that way if you want to, you can read all that fun stuff. My current status came to me while i was sitting on the toilet which i found HIGHLY amusing. Anyways.... I am really excited about my trip to Kansas City to see one of my best friends ( i consider him family though so....), not to mention that i will be going to Worlds of Fun! Which will be AWESOME!!! If you are wondering why I am so all over the place tonight ( if you even noticed lol) it is because i am really tired and i drank almost a whole can of coke.... so yeah. You know guys say girls are complicated and i agree but what guys don't say is that they are also complicated and hard to figure out. Well let me put it this way.... SOME guys are hard to figure out, some guys can be described using phrases such as 'LOVES video games', 'LOVES food' or ' LOVES food AND video games' lol.  But there is this guy that i honestly would love to peek  into his brain every once in awhile because he does things that has me sitting there scratching my head and saying HUH!!! Although i have to ask, would I and/or you want a guy that was so easily understood? Where would the challenge and fun be in that?

I want my soulmate and some chocolate cake

I am going to admitt this to you readers (yes all two of you lol) I am a hopeless romantic. I love chick flicks, I read romance novels ALL THE TIME, and I am the loser who always roots for the main girl in the TV series to fall in love. The downside of this is quite simple actually. Its disheartening to see so many couples fighting or getting divorced and i can't help but want a little romance for myself. People laugh, but it seems that there is so little actual romance left in today's society. It seems all relationships boil down to the three letter word. SEX! If she/he is hot, go for it. But if she/he is more focused on intelligence or character, then that person is written off as 'friend only, DO NOT DATE!'. Or sometimes two people are together and its perfect but one or both want to focus on their careers. Don't hear what I'm not saying, there is nothing wrong with wanting to have a successful career. I just think that everything seems to come before love, true love to be exact. I know you are probably reading this and rolling your eyes at my 'silly-ness' which is perfectly acceptable. I was just in the mood to rant so i did :)   it probably doesn't help that i just finished reading a romance novel that has me mentally sighing and longing for someone to simply complete me ( yes i realize how COMPLETELY CORNY that sounded but there it is). It also doesn't help that i finished off my chocolate cake last night lol. Oh, well thats all folks....

Gah! Now I know how those pesky Cullen Vampires feel!

HI! ok so I'm kinda getting used to the night life but not all the way because i miss my friends, tuesday nights at the Realm, and i actually miss hanging with my family (weird right? lol jk I LOVE YOU MOM!) Today is FRIDAY which should mean that when i come home from work at 1 in the morning that i can sleep until i decide to awaken but tomorrow is the city wide garage sale which is something I'm SO NOT going to miss. Even if it means getting up at the unholy hour of 7 o'clock IN THE MORNING!!!! But i get to chill with my mom which is normally pretty cool, unless of course creepy guys in the Walmart parking lot are involved (long story), so it will all work out. Although I'm warning the general public, if you see me Saturday morning, do not approach, i repeat DO NOT APPROACH! If you do approach you are either really really brave or really really really wishing your life to end. I say this with love lol i could  be a jerk and not warn you right? Oooh i forgot to tell you. My friend / adopted grandmother Rachel is trying to matchmake me with this guy i have never met before and my friend Arielle is trying to make me ask this guy out who reminds me of this other guy who i was head over heels for until i realized he had a stick up his admittedly cute butt :)... Confusing right? Thats all for now

The Breakfast club at Night

So i have a few buddies at work now that totally make the job WAY more interesting :)   It kind of makes me think of the movie Breakfast Club. There is no making out and come to think of it, no cute guys either. But its an odd bunch to be sure. this girl Tara is the youngest followed closely by yours truely. Then there are 3 or 4 people who are old enough to be my grandparents. Although that dont talk like it at all. In fact one of them even has A FACEBOOK! I KNOW! I was shocked when i found out too. Then there is Michael who just gets on all the girl's nerves mostly because he calls us weird ( we all know its true BUT STILL!)  Anyways..... I'm slowly getting used to going to bed around 2 in the morning and then getting up around noon to eat breakfast. The weekends are weird though. Sorry i blabbed so much about work.... So how are you?

There was no clown

Hey everyone who may or may not being reading this. I started my new job on Wednesday and it wasn't what i expected. I assumed data entry but in reality its ALOT of file pulling and paper sorting. It gets boring at times but i have a few buddies there already and i can listen to my music while doing it. I'm sad to report that there are no cute guys though lol. Anyways last night the company had a small carnival for the employees which was interesting and it got us out of working for 2 hours lol. I am still not used to going to work at 4:30pm and coming home at 1:00AM. I'm not sure how long it will be til I update my blog again so I just wanted to give you a heads up. Oh, there was no clown at the carnival. Which of course i didn't mind because honestly, they FREAK me out! Thats all for now.

Stick Figures ARE TOO ART!!!

So.... yeah, this one time at band camp.... lol jk. My mind kind of blanked and that was  the only thing that jumped aboard so i figured,  Why not? Anyways, I got really REALLY good news today. I FINALLY got this job that i have been waiting for FOREVER (which was actually a little over 2 weeks). I will be the proud owner of a DESK JOB!!! I can see some of you getting the glazed look in your eye and saying " Desk? You mean like with a computer? and paperwork?" Now your eyes are going from glazed to terrorized. Yes I WANTED a desk job. But don't worry, by me taking this job i am opening up a job at my previous place of employment. This job involved alot of saying "Do you want chips and a soda with that?" You can totally have THAT job. No computer involved or paperwork :)   The other interesting thing about this new job is that my hours will be from 4:30 pm to 1:00 AM!! Which I'm excited about because it means that i dont have to get up til 3:00 pm EVERY DAY!!  Anyways I really don't have much more to tell you except that i read someone's blog and this person drew stick people to go along with their blog and it  was AWESOME and really funny. Also and this is BIG! Starbucks has Hot Chocolate!!! ( do you hear the angels singing?) and AND its made with Godiva chocolate! Which is basically as close as many of us are going to get to discovering a hinden chest filled with treasure.

A whole bunch of Nothing

Today was one of those days, that if it were a recorded tv show, one would probably fast foward to the commericals (one 'm' or two? i don't remember). I think the biggest thing i discovered today is another one of my many faults. I never realized how annoying i am lol!  In my mind things are constantly bouncing around and sometimes .... ok ALOT of times i open my mouth and let my thoughts fly without a care to the consquences. To everyone who has been bothered by this habit, I sincerely (gah! did i spell that wrong too?) apologize. Although if I may, I would like to explain just a little, so one could understand my madness, as it were. I grew up in books, so i was quiet and shy ( I KNOW! everyone is shocked to hear that but its TRUE). One day i got tired of being polite 24/7 and quiet and well nice. So i decided i wanted to be ME whoever/whatever that is. And well apparently ME is a loud mouthed, opiniated annoying person. WHO KNEW?  That is all for today but i would like to leave you with the following quote to ponder, if you so choose.

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” — Chuck Palahniuk

Only the Good die young?

Hey guys! I went to service saturday today and it wasnt what i expected. I would love to tell you that I'm not complaining but i think a little bit of the nasty stuff might creep in, so i apologize in advance. Not many of the people in my class showed up today so we broke up into teams of two. Which meant i went with my friend Becca, now don't hear what i'm not saying, i love hanging out with Bec Bec but when i do this things part of me hopes to be able to talk to different people that i don't see all the time. Anyways we went back to the house that we visited in July. The lady who lives there is 84 years old and she has been to so many cool and interesting places for mission trips. We did a little bit of work and then sat and listened to her reminisce for three hours. We cheered her up which was our mission so YEAH! and my friend Becca is getting closer to being saved which is DOUBLE YEAH!!! But onto other matters, matters not nearly as uplifting. My friend who i said i got back with after fighting with for 3 weeks? Well the reason we fought is because she is doing something i know is wrong and when i told her, she accused me of judging her. Well we got back together on the grounds that we wouldnt talk about it unless she wanted to talk. Well i think she is really bitter, and i honestly don't know what to do anymore. Any advice would be much appreicated. Sorry to have a not so exciting blog today :(

CrayON boxes, Cute Waiter, and Cranking up the Music!

 So today was pretty much uneventful... well up til about 6 anyways. Around that time we (my sister and I) hopped in her car and then picked up Sarah (who is UBER HYPER), Becca, who is really tall but really cool all at the same time. And then there was Nicole, who is ... well she is Nicole, enough said. So after telling them a  funny story involving a guy and a stick, we decided to go to Outback for dinner. It was AWESOME! Our waiter put  the YUM in YUMMY :)   his name is Nick btw if you wanna go drool over him lol.  At Outback we discovered that if you blow into the box that the crayons come in, it makes a whistling noise which is just fun. Sadly Mel took away our boxes, because we were quote on quote "ANNOYING!"  Nick was very understanding of our ....'weirdness' and we left  him a 25 dollar tip (believe me, he EARNED it!). Oh i found out that i pronounce Crayons wrong. Who knew? On the way home we were ummm a bit giddy so we cranked up the music and sang along to "Highway to Hell", etc. Overall, it was a very interesting night. And tomorrow i get to go do Service Saturday with my friend Becca.! I can't wait, even if it is at 8:00 in THE MORNING!!!!

Friends, Chicken, and LOTS of Mac & Cheese!

Sorry yall that i didnt post anything yesterday. It was one of those days. I got back with my friend . We had a huge fight that resulted in us not talking for three weeks. Anyways we spent the whole day together which was nice but i was pooped and it made my allergies act up. So i spent all day today in a medicated daze lol . Then i went to her place tonight and it was pretty interesting. I sat there waiting for my friend Chris to show up but the guy spent 3 HOURS working out! I KNOW!! My idea of working out is going up the stairs to pee! Plus the guy is a health nut! Sometimes it amazes me that we get along at all.  Currently i'm talking to Tommy on the phone ( Tommy if you are reading this.... HI!). He is currently teasing his older brother who is a loveable stick who shares my love for Jane Austen. I dont really know what else to say so.... oh! The title! well the friends part you should understand. But when i went to her place tonight her boyfriend Travis made Chicken and Arielle ( my friend) decided to macaroni and cheese. She made WAY TOO MUCH! So if any of you are in the mood for mac and cheese.......

A blonde Whirlwind... its dangerous because even it doesn't know where it is going

Well i have to admitt that i dont have much to report, even less that is actually interesting. But i love talking to someone.. even if it is my computer lol. Ok so i have to warn you, this post might get a little deep. HEY! don't look shocked! I can be deep! I CAN! Well anyways, today i have found myself feeling very reflective. For example, for the longest time all i have ever wanted is a boyfriend (lame i know but let me explain) someone to make me feel complete. I guess its because i LOVE to read romances and the girl always seems better after meeting Mr. Right. That and as much as i adore being different sometimes i wish i had some normal childhood memories, such as my first kiss, first boyfriend,etc. But a few weeks ago i realized what a hazzle a boyfriend would be. NO I'M SERIOUS! Think about it for a sec. When you have a boyfriend you have to dress up and worry about looking good for them. You have to set aside time for them, even if it means not reading that new book you just got ( yes i am aware i'm a nerd). Not to mention i don't think they would appreciate when you happen to notice the cute guy who works at Taco Bell lol. Not don't hear what i'm not saying.... I would still love to have someone to eat dinner with, someone i CAN dress up for, and someone i can discuss stuff with but i'm slowly learning to see the positive side of these things :)    Besides, what guy out there could even handle me? ;)

Labor for Labor Day.... TOO MUCH LABOR if you ask me :)

So i briefly scanned the history of Labor Day  and let me tell you, its labor to read it. It was pretty much as dry as dirt but it basically said that Labor Day is set aside to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold." -Peter J. McGuire.   Anywho i just thought you might be slightly curious. Now for something i think is more fun.  I'm going to include a poem by my favorite poet, Maya Angelou. This poem is title Phenomenal Woman:

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me.

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see.

I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing

It ought to make you proud.

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I hope you enjoyed that as much as i did. Oh as a side note, on the very small possibility that some guy ever decides to ask me out.  Please make sure they know that i dont like roses ( I perfer Sunflowers) and i dont like poetry (UNLESS its Maya Angelou) I do LOVE chocolate (as any woman should). I love this poem because its for normal girls you know? Not the ones that are a size two and spend hours making themselves looks beautiful. But for the girls who care more about personality then looks and who might have to, Heaven forbid, wear clothes bigger then that of a healthy middle schooler. That was my little rant lol. My labor day was nice and relaxing. And i really hoped you enjoyed yours as well.

Beelzebub, THE Joker, and Death were hanging out at Target.....

So I have to tell you about my day. Oh, wait! In case you were mildly curious or really really REALLY curious ( you creeper!) , I didn't get to dream about a yummy studmuffin last night :(   lol. Ok back to today. I went to church and the service was good and thought provoking (as it should be) and sunday school was actually very very good. I'm not saying that it isnt normally good but today felt like the huddle before a football game or a briefing before a war. And by football game or war, i of course mean Christians vs. World/ the Devil. Kudos goes out to Alex for coming up with the idea.  Afterwards, Rebecca, Mel, and myself decided to eat at Texas Road House ( Dont get the cheese fries) and we actually had a very calm lunch. Then on the way home my sister Mel decides to have a nose bleed, (rude right?) lol. Apparently this was Rebecca's first up close and personal with blood coming out of a nostril. I felt like an adventure so we went to Target and follows will be pictures showcasing the fun we had.

This shirt had to be taken a picture of because Tommy thinks Dr. Pepper is better than Coke, WHATEVER!!

This is a creepy little creature. Don't be fooled by its cute looking-ness. It is evil PURE EVIL!!!!!

This is why men join the navy!!! Isn't she just the cutest thing EVER???

  Beelzebub learns hows to control his minions, (Insert Evil Laugh HERE!)

Death and Obama so close together.....

Me and my sister looking cute!

We might not be Charlie's Angels but we got ATTITUDE!!!

The cartoon might make it look innocent but it is SO NOT!!!!!!!

This is what we look like in the morning. Aren't you glad for cosmetics?

Even Death is annoyed with Twilight!

YO HO!!!!

Blue, Reddish Brown, and Purple..... Can you guess?

So today wasnt the most exciting Saturday ever but it had its moments. For example, a customer at Jimmy Johns thought that i might possibly have a wife, (btw i SO DO NOT!) I worked for what seemed like FOREVER and then got to go home, put my feet up, and watch this cool tv that i just found. (P.S. you didnt remind me to add Leverage to my favorites :p  ) Then mom very graciously dyed my hair for me and im getting used to the color but it feels so SOFT!!! I keep having the urge to pet my own head lol. I finally got nail polish remover so my nails when from black with a failed attempt at chinese symbols, to purple blue and sparkles :)   then i put purple on my toes .... also with Sparkles. Thats where are the colors come in..... just in case you hadn't already figured it out lol.  Now i know that some of you (if not all) are rolling your eyes at me and wondering why i am babbling on about such vain girly things. Normally i wouldnt but my lesson for the day is - Enjoy the small things and/or realize that it doesnt have to be something huge to make you smile.  So i am off to sleep on my oh so soft hair. Hopefully i dream of some yummy studmuffin because that would so TOTALLY make my day lol .Good Night Sleep Tight and Remeber that only male crickets chirp!
CIAO!

Now i know how Titanic felt

Ok thats not techinally true since im no where near the size of boat and i dont have tons of tiny people about to die. But i having a sinking (Ha Ha) feeling. Nothing major just little things im worried about. Like when if ever the people from my new job are going to call and tell me when i can start. And if i will have enough money to pay my bills this month. I say these are little things because in the scheme of things they are. I mean no one i know is dying or anything. Its times like these when i remember something my friend Tommy is always harping into me, and that is "Krista why worry about anything when the God who controls EVERYTHING is in control, I mean what will worrying do really?" And as much as it pains me to say this, Tommy is right ( but since he isnt following my blog, he will NEVER KNOW,hehehehe KARMA!!!) Dude i feel better already. Thank you blog readers/my faithful followers.... all 3 of you lol for listening. Ok i think i am done for now. Maybe it is time for a nap :)
CIAO!

I had a dream..and it was WEIRD! Shocking right?

Good MORNING fellow bloggers/ blog readers/blog people? You will have to bear with me since im not really fully awake yet. Ok so i had a funky dream and thought maybe yall would get a kick out of it. So it was a two part dream. The first part was like a weird episode of Leverage. Side note: Leverage is an AMAZING tv show. Ooh remind me to add that to my favorites ok? Anyways, i had to help Parker solve this mystery kind of thing and it was really fun. The second part is where it gets weird. There was this radioactive spider. Ok  im girl enough to say that spiders fall out the EWWW KILL IT! part in my mind, but this spider was sad because the bad guys were making it perform for people. The bad guy was just not a very good business person i guess. Well then somehow I'm in this storage closet with another person and  some Cardinal baseball players. We started having an EPIC food fight and i dosed the baseball guys with mustard.  And then....... I woke up to Max licking my face. I know right? What a way to wake up. 
Ok so now im going to go look up a new ringtone bc im finally tired of  the one i have right now. Any suggestions?
Hope this made you smile and i hope you have a crazy cool day :)

Introducing.......Me!

Hi! You ever feel like there are so many thoughts bouncing around in your head that you can't keep them straight? Well that seems to happen to me ALOT so i figure i would type them down and let others enjoy them or ponder them or simply marvel that there is indeed someone as weird as me out there. I will warn you right not, everyone who knows me will say that im odd, or weird, or strange. But the way i see it is like this. I'm going to be myself no matter what. That way if someone likes me then i know they like ME, does that make any sense? Whatsoever?  That seems to be all for now but i will for sure be typing your ears off later lol CIAO!

P.S. thats italian for Goodbye, just in case you were wondering :)
