Showtime.

So, I just realized I have completely neglected my blog lately. This blog is going to be dedicated to my summer shows.

1. Pretty Little Liars
      The summer premier of PLL was June 2.  I have been a loyal PLL fan since the beginning. However, I was a little leery to continue watching. It has been very drawn out and I am just ready for some answers. Que the premier, it was an episode FULL of answers. The whole season so far is full of answers. I am excited for each week of watching.

2. The Bachelorette
       I just jumped on the Bachelor bandwagon and have only been a fan since Sean Lowes season. After his season, I tried  watching Desiree season of The Bachelorette and hated it. I have not liked a bachelorette since then. This season of the Bachelor I loved Kaitlyn Bristowe from the very beginning. She is very quirky, inappropriate, hilarious, and just a cool girl. I think we have a lot of personality similarities. So, when she was picked as the Bachelorette I decided to give the show one last try. I love it so far. She has made some very stupid decisions but she has made some very stupid real life decisions. Also, I am team Sean (Ryan Gosling) look alike. Hottie!

3. Big Brother
     I have always watched Big Brother in and out. The past 2  years I was dedicated to every episode. So far, I am enjoying this season and all of the twists. I am anxious to see if the Twin Twist will actually work. My favorites so far are: Clay (obvious hottie reasons), Austin (looks like Evil Dick, just not as Evil), and I like Dayonna (she is super funny and seems to be pretty smart).

4.Americas Next Top Model
    ANTM does not air until August 5th. I used to be obessed with ANTM. I mean really who wasn't?  I can not even tell you the last season I actually watched. However, this season there is an 18 year old from South Arkansas  on the show. Being from Arkansas, I feel like I have to watch to support her. From what I can tell, I think she will make it pretty far. So y'all watch our for her!

Birthday Shenanigans

This weekend was not only Memorial Day weekend, BUT my Birthday!!! Which is the most important day of the year. I turned 24 years old. I seriously can not believe I am 24. To celebrate, I went to Viva Las Vegas! If you have never been then you need to go. It was seriously the best weekend of my life. I could go into detail about my weekend but that would take forever. So, I will give you a brief summary of the highlights.

The Flight: This was my first time to fly ever. We flew Alligeant because it was cheap. However, it was a fairly small plane. Take off and landing was by far the worst. The way to Vegas there was a lot of turbulence. I was just panicky the whole time. My best advice take some medicine and go to sleep.

The Boys: First, I learned that if you are a girl you should not have to pay for virtually anything while in Vegas.There is tons of men that are willing to buy you drinks and tons of promoters who can get you in places for free. Also, tons of attractive people. So, go to a promoter and get free tickets to a club. At the club, flaunt your stuff and find men to invite you over to their table for free drinks.

The Events: I went to three main events. The first was Club 1 Oak. Khloe Kardashian was hosting at Club 1-Oak the night of my birthday. I love clubs. Khloe was a lot of fun and to say I got to party with her on my birthday, I mean how cool is that. The next was Scott Dissick hosts Bare Pool Lounge. Bare Pool was an adult only pool and Scott was hosting his birthday party there. I actually got to meet Scott and took a couple of pictures of him and Kourtney. The last event I went to was Thunder From Down Under. This was a male entertainment show. It was almost funny it was so cheesy. It was very very similar to the movie Magic Mike.

Vegas: Las Vegas is just a really neat city. Once again, if you have never been then you need to go. All of the lights and cool buildings are such a sight to see. I think you could go there and never gamble or drink and still have a really good time.

So, Thank You Sin City for showing me an awesome Birthday!

New car, new payments

After all the drama of hitting a pothole, no one could figure out what was wrong with my car. Therefore, I decided it was time for a new, dependable one. The weekend after I broke my car, me and my family drove to a dealership to trade it in. I went there knowing exactly what I wanted.

I get to the dealership, look at what I thought I wanted and decided I think I want to look around. So, I end up getting something that I did not think I wanted at all. I got a 2015 Nissan Rogue.

Sorry it is sideways, can't figure out how to fix it. Oh well, you get the idea. She is beautiful. Her name is Jade. When the sun hits her just right, she has a green tint to her.

I feel like this car brings some life changes. I think this SUV means I am an adult. I have always drove a little sports car of some type. This is like I have got my crap together car. Also, I have always drove an used car and this baby is brand spankin' new. However, it does come with some brand spankin' new, adult sized payments. (mini panic attack set place at dealership) :/

(Warning: Above I talked about how I am an adult, below is not very adult of me. Oh wellz.)

Also, Chanel (new cat talked about in previous post) has joined the social media world. She decided since she is one of the most adorable, sassiest little kitties on the planet she should make an insta. So ya'll follow her @cocochanel_thecat.

As Chanel would say, Keep it Classy Kitties.

Another lesson learned.

So, one of those "wow this only happens to me" moments happened again over the weekend. The whole weekend was slightly entertaining so let me break it down for you. 

Friday: I get off work, go home, change into some comfy but cute clothes and head out to a friends house. It was my friends birthday so we had a little get together. We started drinking at 7 and played music and a couple of drinking games. I had a blast and was home by midnight.

Saturday: I went to the colleges, I attended and now work at, baseball game. I was not prepared for the roasting that was about to happen. No, I am not talking about how bad our team beat the opposing team. I am talking about the roasting of my skin. My entire body was burnt by the time I left there. (I now have a beautiful tan but geez it hurt.) 

I had to leave the baseball games a little early to get ready. It was another girlfriends birthday on Saturday. We go to Buffalo Wild Wings have some drinks, wings, and really a great time. When it was time to leave, no one was quite ready to go home, except the birthday girl. SO we continued her party without her. The first bar we tried was a bust. We get there the door guy was rude and no one under 50 was there. We walked in and walked out. We decided to try out another bar, keep in mind it's like 9:30 at this point. We go to the 2nd bar and there was 2 other people there besides our group of 5. We say the hell with it we are partying anyways, order drinks, and start playing a card game. Yes, we played Cards against Humanity while at a bar, you can judge me if you want. We stay there for about an hour then everyone was ready for bed, except for me and the girl with me. 

We decided to go to a country dance bar. Talk about a good time. We had probably 5 rounds of drinks bought for us and danced all night long. We shut the place down. As we drove home, we watched the sunrise. Thats how you know it was a good night.:)

Sunday: I wake up at 11:00, hungover as shit. I had a wedding shower to be at by 2:00. I had to shower, get food, and a present before 2:00. By the way, the best hangover food and the only thing I can eat after a wild night is a McChicken from McDonalds. I think I have mentioned this before but my biggest pet peeve is running late. I was 40 MINUTES late for this wedding shower. How embarrassing. The shower was great and my gift, (Mr. & Mrs. Coffee mugs), was the grooms favorite gift. However, I had to pretend to not be hungover because I was some really morally correct and good people.
I am going to try to give you a short version of what happened next. I go to head home and hit a pothole downtown of a city nearby. No big deal, I hit potholes all the time. Well this was the daddy of all potholes. My car starts shaking when I get to the stoplight. I pull into a parking lot and basically have a panic attack. My car won't start and have to call a tow truck. Keep in mind this is Sunday so no mechanic is open. Tow truck tows me to a mechanic and I have to leave it there over night.

 Monday: I stay with a friend that lives in the town I was stuck in. We wake up Monday morning at 8:00 am to talk to the mechanic. This mechanic looks pretty sketchy. We are there for 45 minutes and he comes back and tells me its my fuel pump and is going to cost me $1100. WHAT. Something was telling me not to believe him so I drive my car to another mechanic 0.5 mile down the road. The other mechanic said if it was the fuel pump there was no way I would have been able to drive. So glad i went with my gut feeling. They keep the car for two days and call me and say they can not figure out whats wrong with but apparently now it runs fine. So now I am buying a new car this weekend because who knows when it will screw up again. 

My lesson learned? Do NOT take potholes lightly and it's not always a good idea to shut a place down.

Cat-called, cat eyes, and actual cats.

This post is inspired mainly because I got a kitten. However, I would like to talk about these other cat things first.

Cat-called.
         I am sure every woman and some men have been cat-called in their life. The definition of cat-call in urban dictionary is;   When a guy gives the whistle or yells at a baby-doll for the purpose of getting attention and in hopes of a future hookup. This is usually done out of the window of a car. Typically a Pontiac Firebird, or Camaro.
          Cat-calling can be very annoying, but if an attractive enough person cat-calls you it can be flattering. I have cat-called men before, especially if there is alcohol involved. When it comes down to it, I think this is somewhat disrespectful. A man or woman should approach the opposite sex to let them know they are attractive instead of yelling it across room. This is not only embarrassing but can be very degrading. Considering that Urban Dictionary says "in hopes for a future hookup" then maybe I am reading to far into because hookups are pretty degrading. Opinions?


Cat eyed.
       When I think  of cat eyes, I naturally think of eyeliner. Everyone loves a good cat eye, especially on a night out. I think I may over use the cat eye but there are very many versions. The most common cat eye technique I use is where the eyelinerr just barely extends past the eye lids to a point. A night out on the town, I will definitely use a more extreme extension and point.


Actual Cats. 
        Those who know me know that I am NOT a cat person. Everyone knows I love dogs, especially little froufrou dogs. However, my sister got a kitten a couple of months ago and I fell in love with her. She is such a diva and thanks she rules the house. I have been really wanting a dog but with my work schedule, I just don't have time or energy that dogs require.
         Even though I fell in love with my sisters cat, I still didn't want one for myself. However, one day my mom found a lady selling long haired domestic kittens for less than $100. This is VERY rare. Long haired domestic cats can't normally be found for under $300. So, my mom talked me into getting it.
        I have had her for 3 days now and I fell completely in LOVE. She is the perfect little kitty and companion. She is white with bright blue eyes. I have now became a cat person, kinda. Only if they are diva, expensive, cute cats LOL.

Holy Cow.

So, I am going to be going to Vegas in a couple of months and on a beach vacation a month after that. Summer weather is coming, aka swimsuit weather. That last statement makes me depressed just thinking about it. Last night, I went to walmart and bought a weight scale.

Stood on the scale, instant depression. I got in my car and went to the gym the second I stepped down. If I didn't get to the gym quickly I was going to lock myself in my room forever. I am so embarrassed about how much I weigh. So, because of bathing suit weather and because I am HUGE I have to lose weight.

I have always been the type of person to have to watch what I eat. I have never been the naturally skinny girl. I have also came to realization that no matter what I do, I will never have a flat stomach. Unless I became some kind of fitness guru, which is never going to happen. lol.

Therefore, I am going to start working out and follow with a better diet. Wish me luck and if anyone has any tips. Please Share!!!

Tinder.

Okay, I have mentioned tinder before but I think it is time to post some of the messages I have got.

I have had tons of matches, (no boyfriends or dates), just matches. Tinder is weird to me. I honestly don't know if I would ever go on a date with someone  I met from tinder. That being said, It is very fun to get on there and play the game.

So, I have got lots of normal messages from men. However, I have got a couple not so normal messages.

The first and probably the strangest message I have got was from a young gentleman named Colton.

Colton sends me a youtube video link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocGiulPm3IU
and then says "this could be us." The video is Lemme Freak by Lil Dickey. Yup. If you have never heard the song, its a very interesting one. Colton then preceeds to tell me he can do most of those things. Most?! C'mon man, what a dissapointment.

The next message was from a hottie named Joe.

 Joe: You should probably not talk to girls who meet up with dudes at TGIF.
Me: what
Joe: lol sorry, whats up

Joe maybe hott but he definitely needs to work on the pick up lines.

The last most recent message if from Mr. Jesse.

Jesse sends: After a brief look at your tinder pictures, I have already married and divorced you in my mind. I just want to thank you for all the wonderful memories. There will always be a special for you in my heart..... P.S. You can keep the beach house. But i want the dog and the movies back.
Me: well neat
Jesse: Lol guess you're happy with the beach house? How was your day?
(at this point I decided to play along)
Me: my day was good but not near as good as it would have been if i was at the beach house

As soon as I say this dude stopped replying. I guess he was done with the game.

My best friend said "tinder is like the comic con of freakazoids." I find this to be a very true statement. At comic con there is a few normal, not so extreme people but mostly extreme, insane individuals. Tinder has a couple normal people, most are freaks.

post Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is over and I hope everyone truly enjoyed their day. I did just as I said I was going to but let me just tell you about my weekend in order. Btw, I have one single girlfriend and that's who I spent my entire weekend with. 

Friday, I met two of my close girlfriends for margaritas. Side note: Margs are not my drink of choice but I'm slowly starting to like them. They're just so fun to drink with girlfriends. We went to this fun little Mexican restaurant and got drunk on margs and laughs. Then, me and one of the girls continued our Friday night ritual of going to these guys apartment and hanging out and drinking. We end up staying the night there. 

Saturday, I had to work early in the morning. Barely make it there in time because I stayed out of town. I wore the same clothes to work I wore out that night. Yes, I was that girl. 

Saturday night, I had a wonderful valentines evening. I hung out with my closest single girlfriend. We watched the movie, If I Stay. Great movie, tear jerker, probably not the best pick for Vday but whatevs. Then, I made chocolate covered strawberries and got the wine out. We drank a bottle of Stella Rosa Peach and hot tubbed. Side Note: Stella Rosa is the best wine there is. 

We finished up our weekend Sunday at the horse races. We lost on every race we bet on but we drank a little beer and had a great time with the friends we hung out with on Friday. After the horse races we went to dinner and a movie. 

It was such a wonderful, fun, relaxing, exciting weekend. I didn't once think about how lonely or sad I was. I relished in all the love I had for myself and the people around me. 


Super Plus: an ice storm hit and I didn't have to work Monday or today :)

valentines day.



Well it has come the time for all people in a relationship to be super mushy and super in love while all the single people are super bitter.

This blog is to help single people not be bitter and to not be this guy.


I have been single the last 3 or 4 Valentines days but who is keeping track. It has taken me a LONG time to be okay with V-day and this is the first year I actually am. Normally by this time, I am all in my feelings, crying, and thinking to myself no one will ever love me. I am also pretty angry at my friends who have significant others. How stupid of a holiday where all you do is order flowers or buy chocolates. Why do people even celebrate it? What is the point?

This year I have decided that is just silly behavior. I don't know if it's because I have matured or if I am just numb to V-day. LOL. However, I have decided for us single girls out there this is not a time to be sad. We should be happy for all of our friends. It brings your friends down if you are negative /bitter towards v-day because then they feel like they can't share their happiness with you.

SO, this Valentines Day make it be all about you. Plan a night alone or with other single girlfriends and completely treat yourself. Go get a pedicure and manicure, by yourself chocolates and ice cream, rent a movie, order take in, go out with your girls to eat or to a club. Valentines is about love and that doesn't always have to be love with a significant other. Spend this valentines loving yourself or spending time sharing love with your girlfriends.

If you do this, then when your friends in a relationship try sharing there plans you won't be bitter. You will be excited because you will also get to share the big fun night you will have as well.

flat tires & freezing weather

Let me set the scene for ya:

It is a normal Friday night and about 30 degrees outside.

 I am leaving a ball game that was in the middle of nowhere, following my family in their car. I drive about 6 miles and my car starts jerking to the right. Flash my lights at the fam and pull over. What do ya know I got a flat tire. Only of my family members phones had cell service, barely. Call a parent from the ball game and he says he will come help us.

A good 30 minutes later, the guy shows up. He changes my tire and puts my spare on my car. However, my spare is flat too.  At this point, we have to find service on the cell phone again and call someone else to bring us some air or fix a flat or something.  We waited on this guy for a good 30 minutes as well. Finally, put air in my spare tire and head home driving 45 mph the whole way. What should have been a normal 45 minute drive home, ended up taking about 2- 2.5 hours.


The moral of the story? Everyone should carry a can of fix-a-flat in their car, to avoid waiting 2 hours in the freezing cold!

time to get crafty.

So, anyone who knows me knows that I am not the tidiest person around. I do love a clean room and made bed BUT that rarely happens. My room/ bathroom is never just down right disgustingly dirty. However, there is most likely clothes. everywhere.

Here is my problem, I have WAY too much of pretty much everything. I have too many clothes, t-shirts, scarves, shoes, and really anything else you can think of. With too much stuff and not near enough room, I have decided to turn to my good friend, Pinterest.

I decided to share some of the pins on here that I think will be most helpful!

http://www.buzzfeed.com/twopoodles/15-lifehacks-for-your-tiny-bathroom-9g24


15 Lifehacks For Your Tiny Bathroom.    You won't want to do all of these at once, but if you pick one or two of them, you might be surprised at how much your life improves. Or just feel proud that you did something productive. Okay, so this is just a really good article. I have so many random little items in my bathroom that just float around on the sink. My very favorite thing from this article is to get the magnet strip for bobbie pins, genius. If you are girl then you know the struggle of trying to keep up with bobbie pins.

Remember when in doubt, pinterest it out!

2015.

Hello! I'm back and its a new year!! Hello 2015!

My holiday break from work was somewhat chaotic but I loved being out. Today is my first day back and it was extremely hard to get here.

I spent Christmas with my family and it was very low key and chill which was just what I needed. The next 3 days we spent our time re-watching the Harry Potter movies in order. I consider myself HP obsessed, i love it. I have a Pottermore account and was sorted into the Slytherin house.

My new years was very fun. I got to spend it with an old friend and anytime we get together it is a blast.

So here is my "New Year, New Me"
Everyone does it, sets high goals at the beginning of the year that are most likely not accomplished.

However, I want to try to be more positive. I use to be an extremely positive person and I feel like the past 3-4 months I just haven't been. God has been testing me today on my first day back but nevertheless I will not be negative!

The second thing I want to do is ride my bicycle and get some exercise in. I know typical new years resolution. However, I got a super cute bicycle for Christmas and I really want to put some use to it.

So Happy 2015, let's make it the best yet!!!
