Lovely Days

I've been meaning to post this post for about a week now. Why haven't I? I've just been lazy, to be prefectly honest. I've been working and that's it. Granted I work from 1PM - 10PM so when I wake up at 10:30AM all I want to do is drink coffee and facebook stalk people ;)

So, I'm posting this now. Today is Saturday and I've had a great day. I got the dogs from Jere's mom's house yesterday because they've been staying there and since I had two days off in a row I wanted to take them. (Puppy custody??!)

This morning we got up and went on an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G hike! I took them to the dog park which is right behind my house. It's usually just a 20 or 30 minute walk but I decided to wander . . . we were out for an hour and fifteen minutes just hiking in the foothills. Needless to say, I've fallen in love with nature and am itching to go camping. Good thing I've got my truck :)

Anyway. This blog is nothing about hiking or work. It's about nail polish. Imagine that.

Remember when I mentioned that my boyfriend is the best nail polish finder? When I painted my nails Blue Collar, I didn't use a topcoat or anything, I used Sally Hansen's Speed Dry Drops (or it's called something extremely similar). My new job involves a lot of typing and using my hands. This is a picture 7 whole days after painting my nails.

(These picture make me so happy! Now I don't have to stress about my nails when they start chipping [unlike Green Apple, it's day 7 and my nails look like death] and I can go longer without painting them).

Spring Cleaning

. . . in March? Well, not really. I'm doing laundry right now. On a Friday night. I'm cool.

....

....

Anyway. I had just completed my FAFSA (4 days late!!! oh no!!) and decided to do some laundry. I got to thinking about how energizing it is when everything is clean. It's an amazing feeling. Which is very hypocritical of me to say. These are pictures of my apartment. As of March 4th, 2011:

This is my kitchen. On a VERY regular basis.

This is my Living Room. Where we store things apparently.

Bathroom. All me.

UN-MADE BED!! [my Cabela's hat]

I don't know why I'm such a messy person . . . who likes to clean?

Acutally it's not that I like cleaning per se, it's just that when I get in the mood for it I REALLY get in the mood for it. And then it makes me super happy knowing that tomorrow I'm going to wake up with clean laundry. And that's all.

Well, on to the rest of the apartment :)

Christmas Eve

It's Dec. 24, 2010. My favorite time of the year. I have today off from work and I am enjoying my relaxing time with Jeremiah's mom and my dog. Jeremiah was supposed to have today off but got called into work :( oh well. He get's off in 2.5 hours so I'll get to see him today.

With the year almost being over I've realized some things:

1. A year of being with someone really isn't that long.
2. NEVER GIVE UP.

As I have mentioned in a video, I suffer from major depression. Well, I think it's seasonal, but who knows? Without going into details, I am very thankful to still have life. It is amazing. Just sayin...

GOD BLESS!

Mama

Knitting anyone?

In my apartment complex, I have the best neighbors Missy and Bryan. They have become my 'family' and I wouldn't have it any other way. Missy has a job where she works 2 days a week, so needless to say, she has a lot of free time on her hands (unlike me). One day she told me that she likes to knit and I said that I've always wanted to learn but never had someone to teach me. Well, ladies, I've found my guru. She does what is called loom knitting which looks a little something like this:



It's basically a braiding type thing that makes really cool scarfs, socks, mittens, whatever you want! I like this because I haven't learned how to knit and I can still do this (I play on becoming a 'knitter' after the holidays). It might seem silly, but I really enjoy it. It's something I can do if I'm upset, happy, or just want to relax. I don't see myself giving up knitting anytime soon :)

Ramble much?

I love blogging. I don't know why. As of right now, I only have one follower, but who cares, right. . . Oh yeah. ME! I don't do this because I want like 45643343 followers, but it would be nice for me not to feel silly for talking to only one person on a weekly basis.

Anyway. A couple people I know blog (and I'm jealous! One of them has 4 subscribers! can you believe it?!) and I was thinking about how my blog doesn't have character. I just kind of rant and ramble until I say bye. Then I started to feel a little bit sad (well more like sorry for myself) because then my next thought was 'well if my blog has no character, then that means I have no character! I know, the horror right? I feel like I don't give my blog enough of my 'voice' so I promise I'm going to work on that. Promise, promise.

Here is a list of things I've been missing soo sooooo much! :(

Starbucks!


I haven't had starbucks in forever! Literally. The last time I had starbucks was when my uncle came into town from seattle . . . We got coffee every day. He came here back when I graduated so that was in May. I'm sad.


Sushi


No one I know love sushi as much as I do. I could eat it all day long. I'm not joking either! I am obsessed with sushi. I only have mine with soy sauce tho. No icky wasabi. Too hot for me. Ew and I think ginger is gross. nope nope. Soy sauce will do just fine, thank you!

Reading


I love reading, but I haven't had the time. I'm still reading 'Mockingjay' from The Hunger Games trilogy! I started that over a month ago! Normally I would have finished it within 2 weeks at the most.

Zeebra Slipper


I used to be obsessed with zeebra print, but I kind of over did it and got bored with it. Almost everything I had had some type of zebra print on it. My twin got me some zebra slippers one day and I wore them all the time. They were my favorite! Then . . . my evil puppy got a hold of them and ruined them! He didn't bite holes in them, but he slobbered on them so much that they were not salvageable.

Wow, this sounds like I complain a lot. I swear I don't :)
