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!

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.

  This link is more about kitchen organization. I thought this was really  neat because I would have never thought to use a magazine holder for canned goods.



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!!!
