I have come to a decision

I have decided to change the way I write my blog. Not like anyone is reading it anyway but I think I am going to do more of the stuff that interest me which at this point those things are music, food, entertaining, and just having a good time (I like being social can't help my social life has suffered greatly since moving). Until then Laters....

Random Post!!!!!

Random comment of the day (even thought the day is about to be over on the East Coast): H & M kinda has a real website now. I might be the only person out there excited about that. It's not really a full-site because you can't buy anything on it :( But I guess that means I am going to the Atl at some point.

The thing I am actually most excited about/sadly addicted to on the site is the dressing room. They have were you can pack you own model and change the background and all that jazz. It's great to see what the clothes will look like on an actually person. Even though I'm not a size 2 or 4 I am about the same height as some of them so I can at least see what the clothing will not be to small unlike forever21 (which they have cute clothes, but if you have any kind of curves whatsoever you can forget about it).

So, that is the random comment of the day. Now back to listening to my 70s rock on my Pandora and checking my profile on an online dating site..... The story will come later about that but let's say my friend LMR can pretty much talk me into anything and at 29 that is a sad thing. There are some pretty normal guys are there and some that are kinda interesting. Anywho

Life.....

Things have been super crazy for the last few weeks. Over the next few weeks though I'll write about all the craziness that has been happening including:a new puppy, celebrating a cat's birth day, an interesting night on the town, even more interesting match.com experiences (yes, I said match.com and that will definitely be a few post just about that), me making the 4 hour drive to get my car back (YEA!!!!!!), and some more interesting/random things that have happened. Plus, since school is starting back (first time I am not going to school in the last 8 years and I am not sad at all) I am going to share some of my college experience and stories. Some, A few of the stories are really funny but that's because they did not happen to me and some of the ones that did happen to me are funny now. At the time they were not by any means but now I can laugh at them.

I start my new job today. I guess it's my first post college job. At least I will not be laying around watching One Life to Live trying to figure out who the real Todd Manning is. The fact that I know that means that I have been spending too much time on the couch.

Until tomorrow. Oh, and I want to say congratulations to one of my besties MK who is starting her teaching workshops today.

She is going to be an Art Teacher for kids in K to 8th grade and I'm excited for her. She's freaking out a tiny bit. She'll be fine. It will be an experience to say the least.

Things are going to start getting interesting

I was going to write about the tv shows that I am going to watch during this summer (Dance Moms, Sweet Home Alabama, Big Rich Texas, Giuliana and Bill just to name a few) but I decided that every week I am going to write on what we are calling operation: get me a dating.

My roommate/one of my besties has come up with the great idea that me, one of our friends, and one of the girls that she works with (who I still think is not going to be down because she said not happening twice already) should go speed dating.

This is going to be interesting for many reason:
  • First: my friend who is the mastermind behind this operation has a boyfriend (even though those words have never come out of his mouth, I guess it's just assumed at this point).
  • Second: I am just doing this to shut her up. Part of why I moved her was to that main reason. I could be sitting in Florence right now with guys who want to hangout with me. Ok, they are in the age range I am suppose to stay away from but at least I would have options.
  • Third: I really do believe that this is purely for her entertainment teven though she says its not. If I had a boyfriend and a bunch of single friend going speed dating , I would totally go just for the comedic aspects of it. We all know we would do the same
And we are not even including the fact that I enjoy asking guys random questions to see how they react them. I have done it to guys my friends like and dislike on many occasions. It's extremely funny depending on what you ask. With that being said, every week I am going to update who is reading on my friend's quest to find me a man. Its going to be like a bad sitcom because we have total opposite taste in men.

There will pictures from these escapades, so here's to whatever I'm going to call these post. I'll come up with something

Lucky Me

The Fourth of July weekend was literally the weekend from Hell.  Let's start:
On Friday I somehow ended up planning a birthday party for my roommate's friend. Then we went out knowing we were leaving for Florence at 7:30 in the a.m. Bad Idea!!!! Shot rooms are not anyones' friend.

Saturday morning did not leave at 7:30 but at almost 6:00 IN THE EVENING. Some of us (in particular me and my roommate's boyfriend) had too much fun and definitely paid for it most of Saturday. We however did get to Florence at 11:45 that night. I went to bed but, they went to the birthday party of one of his best friend's from college. Random comment but it would take my friend moving to Montgomery to end up dating not only a guy from North Alabama but a guy who went to the same college as we did.

Sunday I spent about 3 hours trying to get my car running (which did not happen). That what Saturday was for but we were out of commission for most of that day so there were no auto shops open on Sunday. After we left Florence we went to the Atl to get her mom who was flying in from Germany at 11:59 that night. We got to Atlanta around 7:30 after eating we decided to go see her best from high school who lives there. Let's just say that it was an experience that the two of us had.

Late Monday morning we left to go to Cullman to get her dog, some backyard stuff, and take her mom home. Clearly this trip did not go as planned and I knew it was going to continue being bad news bears but my roommate is a planner and did not want to listen to me. We got to her house and went into get her dog. Long story short, I went upstairs to take a nap and during that time her dog died. She was a hot mess for like a couple of days after that.

So, I have been trying to get sleep back and recover from those 4 days. I literally have the worse luck ever. Plus, I called to see how much it was going to take to fix my car. Its going to be about $610 since they have to take out the computer, reprogram it, then put it back in the car.  I dislike my car at the moment and I need a vacation at this point.

Lazy Days.....

Since the last time I posted I moved to Montgomery. And I am literally so bored I don't know what to do with myself. I think Florence had it out for me and did not want me to leave since I did not leave there until 9pm and did not get here until 2:15 Thursday morning (oh, thanks Birmingham for all the 11pm road work).

I have been here for almost two weeks now looking for jobs. It is a kinda long story behind it. In the last 2 weeks I think that I have watched so much television I have no idea what I am going to do with myself. Right now I am watching Wimbledon then the CWS later. I definitely do not think it is normal to spend about 6 days watching sports.

I need a job ASAP!!! I literally think my mind is turning to putty watching some of the ridiculous stuff (Secret Life of the American Teenager in particular) I have been watching. There is this book I have been reading called Don't You Know Much About American History by Kenneth C. Davis which is pretty interesting.  However, the bad television is out weighting the book at the moment.

It's official

So, kinda went in hiding there for a bit. Actually, I am trying not to hurt myself in my apartment  because I am moving. After two degress and nine and half years I am officially leaving Florence. Sad: kind of, somewhat. It's time to move on and get out of North Alabama in my personal opinion. Anywho, since I do not have cable or internet (due to moving) I have been walking to the school library. Can I just say it is too hot for words (96 with a 105 heat index does not scream fun at all).

In the process of me telling everyone that I am leaving people i.e. boys decided that they want to share their feeling about me with me. I really do not know how I feel about some of the things that have been said to me so far by them. I guess when someone moves people try to layout it out there even if the person really does not want to hear it. Other than that, I am just watching more DVD on tv.

Since the last post I have watched
  • the whole series of My So-Called Life
  • seasons 1-4 of One Tree Hill (for got what a good show it was until they decided to do the fast forward 5 years nonsense)
  • still trying to make it through Dawson's Creek, which I do not see happening anytime soon still
Now back to packing/watching more One Tree Hill
