From the mind of the whipper snap.

*sigh* I spent like a solid minute alone thinking of a title for this bad boy and I end up picking a damn song title, W.T.F!? Anywhosie. Tonight at work I read a Facebook friend's status about 2012 and how they cannot wait for it to get here because it is going to be the best year. I don't know what it was, but something struck in me and I also decided right then and there that it WAS in fact, going to be the best year. Basically, I am determined to make 2012 my bitch. Unless of course I do not receive Sex and the City (the second movie) for Christmas.. then, I might as well kiss 2012 goodbye. No, but in all seriousness... I'm ready for 2012. I told my boyfriend (Brad) just today that I really want to go out for the New Year. We RARELY go out. (okay, so I never leave the house) I do not necessarily believe in all the hub bub about 2012 being the last year for the human race.. or whatever, but I just want to live everyday like it is my last. I see a lot of people experie

Usually, the setting back of the clocks does not effect me, but I feel very BLAH today :/ I forced myself to finally get out of bed at 8:30 AM... 8:30 AM! I work at 10:30, so normally, I would be forcing myself to get out of bed at 10, haha. Now, I'm getting ready to fold some laundry while listening to Taylor Swift. Right now, I'm listening to her song "Never Grow Up". Seriously, it has a good message. Major props to this lady. It makes me think about how much I really love my momma. It also makes me think about how silly kids are for pushing so hard to grow up and get out of high school. I would give anything to have a year of high school back and working at the good ole Main Street. Sure, at the time it may seem like a big ball of suck, until it is 3 years later and you are working to pay bills, not to put gas in your car and go shopping.  The other thought I have in my head is about how dangerous it is to be in a relationship. I am not talking about murder dang

Hello, hello, hello. I was at work thinking about this giving thanks for something every day of November. It is a pretty nifty idea... something I picked up from my wonderful friend, Lacy : ) So, what if we take this month and every day out of it to give thanks for something or someone? Way too often we focus on the bad things surrounding us vs. all of the good things we have in our lives and should be thankful for. We are all very guilty of this. Sometimes, it does not take much to bring down our entire day. There is so much I am thankful for, so I want to take this one month and every day of it, to tell you. What are you thankful for? Comment on this blog :)

I feel like I have spent a lot of time talking about this lately to different people, but it is something I cannot help, but think about. It is about my mom. For those of you that know my mom - You know she is slightly crazy, but she is one of the most kind-hearted people that I know. My mom used to drive my completely crazy when I was growing up and still lived with my parents, but as I have gotten older I have realized how much I love my mom and that if she could give me the world, she would. She has gotten really mixed up in her life and it really hurts me to see her that way. It is something that I never talk about. My mother has done some really bad things and people think that those things do not carry any excuse, but they do. My mother is sick - she has a chemical imbalance, so sadly, she does not understand what is and is not normal. I am kind of distant from my mother and for that, I am sorry. She is my mother, she brought me into this world and she is part of the reason I am

Today is an absolute beautiful day. My computer says it is 65 degrees outside, the sun is shining, blue sky, and the wind is blowing. The best part of all is the air conditioner is off and the windows are open. I cherish days like this. I think we all forget how simple things can be. Aside from cleaning, doing some laundry, and baking some chocolate chip cookies (which it’s a perfect day for) I have done nothing but sit in the chair by the open window and just “be”. Did I already mention that I LOVE days like this? Sadly, I feel like they are few and far between. I think now that I live in the country, I appreciate it that much more. I have a million thoughts in my head. There are so many people that think they need WAY more to be “happy”. I have a lot to be happy about I would say. After all, one of the best things is to love and be loved and I have that in my life. I also have a roof over my head and food in my belly. Not to mention the luxuries of television, computers, and Internet

Hello, Hello :) I haven't written a blog in a few months. Well, since before the big move back to good ole Illinois. I figured it was time to write something. By the way, happy 4th of July everyone! The move back was absolutely miserable. I mean, 42 (2 days) hours in a vehicle is never fun. We stopped and stayed at a hotel for a total of 6 hours which cost of about $75.00, but that is worth a few hours of sleep. I'm back working at Blimpie and I am still taking my online classes. I JUST passed my last two and I will start another set July 11th..woo! I spend a lot of time with my friends and family, but that is that is the extent of my everyday life.  Brad and I, plus Shannon, are getting ready to move into our own place...finally. Living with family is TOUGH, especially when you have been on your own for about 3 years. I miss everything about Washington almost everyday, or every other day. I absolutely loved it there... Most of all... I miss the people :) I just turned 21

I am sitting here on my bedroom floor and talking to friends online... I am going to be home in about 4 days...still does not seem real. I went out with a friend and her daughter tonight, tomorrow lunch with Brad's friend, and then tomorrow evening dinner at a friends house with a lot of friends. I am starting to get very emotional about this move. It feels like so much. The people I have met here in Washington are more than friends. They are my family, my life experience. I don't really care how corny that sounds, it is true. I do not think you could understand until you are miles away from home and you cannot just get up and go see your family, your life. The people here (you know who you are) have become a part of my life,...for good, I think. Leaving truly makes me sad, just the thought of leaving. It is not just me that I care about, but Brad, too. He has worked at this Wal-Mart and those people are his friends/family. I haven't even left yet and I am already thinking

Hello all! I have had so much on my mind lately that it is really hard to even process my thoughts well enough to get my fingers to type a decent post. A lot has happened in the past 7 months, especially  the last couple of months. I am a very, "deal with things as they come", kind of person, but I am still stressing out. So...the wanted/unwanted day is coming...the day we move back home. Even though I miss my friends and family something terrible...I still have mixed feelings about the situation. I actually had a panic attack one morning. Yes, a panic attack. As most people know, I am going to be working at Blimpie again, which I am happy about. I cannot wait to be employed again and have amazing coworkers. However, I keep worrying about everyone else. I am usually not the type to worry about what others think, but I am now and I do not know why, nor do I like it. Being from a small town everyone knows everyone, so a lot of people knew I was leaving and knew the reason for

Good evening to everyone and NO ONE that reads these. I am spending a lovely evening at home with my lovely boyfriend. He is playing his video game right now, so he is in fact, non-existent. I was eating some Breyer's rocky road ice cream, but made Brad take it away from me. So, that leaves me to just watching the Social Network. Hence, the title of my blog. I promise the next blog that I write will be meaningful. I went tanning today for 20 minutes, and...I burnt. Not everywhere, which is ah-mazing! Just my my upper legs and my face. Gagh... I still need to do my day 12 of the 30 day photo challenge on Facebook. A picture of something that you love, but it is hard to pick something....  I am too bored and hyper for my own good. This needs to end. As does this blog... Goodnight.

The sun is out today and I am completely loving it. I should probably be outside enjoying it...instead of blogging. I have big  plans for today. I exercised on the bike for 20 minutes. The first time in a little over a month and it felt great! I want to go to West Beach since the sun is out. I need to soak up all of my beach time before moving back to the land of nothing aka Illinois. I also plan on going to the store. Wouldn't you know that our dogs peed on the carpet! I have no idea when this action took place because it is dry. Now, I need to find some kind of magic carpet foam that is going to pick up the smell/stain. I would also like to pain my toenails and fingernails today...pink! It is already noon and I really have done nothing with my day. I still need to shower and by that time the sun may leave me. I need to do a load of laundry, at least. See, I have all of these things that need to be done and I cannot get my butt up off the floor and off of this computer. I don'

I had been so ready to see the movie, Love and Other Drugs.  What a disappointment. I could not even get through all of the movie. I plan on watching it again today...alone. I watched it last night with Brad, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I should probably watch the movie in full before I start giving reviews about the movie as a whole. However, the first half...nothing but sex! Now, I am not against a good sex scene in a movie here and there, but come on. Not to mention that I have lost a little respect for Anne Hathaway. What is with her showing her breasts every chance she gets? Not to mention the near full frontals. She went from Princess Diaries to...this. I know, I know, she's grown up and I am sure she has been there and done that. I really expected nothing less of Jake Gyllenhaal. He is a man and let's face it...Brokeback Mountain.   I guess I am just speaking about movies in general. It just irritates me. It seems that we cannot watch a movie

AND. I.am.blogging. This would be blog #2. I am wondering when I will get bored of blogging and stop all together? I am sure that will be a disappointment to all of my readers. *laughing* Today was pretty eventful...that rarely happens. Brad and I spent the day in Seattle, while Ralph & Maddie went to their Lacy's (big thanks to her!) and got to spend a fun-filled day outdoors! Seattle was almost like a miniature New York City with A LOT less taxis and crazies. We started out at Pike's Place Market, made our way to the Water Front, ended up going to the North Face, Borders (two stories!), Columbia, and finished off our day with a meal at Hard Rock Cafe. Like my experience in New York City, we also had to experience a man asking us for money for...weed! He just came right out and said it. It always makes me "omg", and then again, not entirely surprised by the crazies. The worst part of the day is when I was screaming at Brad. Ugh. I am horrible. I hate screamin

This is it. My first REAL blog. I wonder how many takers I will have? *shrugs* This is something I want to keep up with continuously...something to look forward to. I want to share my experiences, or lack of, with people. I am not starving for attention, I just love writing (typing!?!)  I want to say that I am your average 20 year old girl, but I do not think that I am. (I am comparing this to girls my age from my graduating class.) The past 3 years of my life have been very spontaneous. A lot of ups and downs. I graduated high school and dropped out of college. I guess the first time around just was not my cup of tea, but I will pay ($$) for that. After that I got some sort of hitch in my giddy-up and decided I wanted to move in with my boyfriend. That was also another decision that might have not been the best, but what's done is done and I would not change it now. From then on, it was living with Brad (the boyfriend). Do not get me wrong, I absolutely love Brad, but the living
