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!

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!!!

ipsy.
So, I have recently became an ipster. What is ipsy?
Ipsy: Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Take the beauty quiz to help determine what goes in your bag.
So basically, I pay $10 a month and get 5 or 6 items in a "glam bag" for me to keep. This is my second glam bag to get.
November Glam Bag:
This is pretty much my bag. Everyone gets the same bag for it to come in. Which is awesome you get a new little bag each month because what girl doesn't need tons of little bags. My November bag is currently being used as an earring bag. So, lets talk about what came in the bag; Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Eye Base, Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner, J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint, Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder + Mini Fan Brush, Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray.
Out of all these items my least favorite is the setting powder. Simply because I don't really know what it is used for. The other 4 items I fell in love with. The wonder lip pain its awesome. It works so good and it is a perfect pink color. I ordered more once I used it. I also really loved the eyeliner. It was black and had glitter in it. If anyone knows me they know I love glitter.
December Glam Bag:
This is my December Glam Bag. Once again another perfect little bag. I will probably use this one for things such as brushes and combs since it is so long. In this bag I got Coolway Boost Repair Treatment, Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/ Crease Duet Brush, NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm, Pixi by Petra Fairy Dust, Tarte deluxe lights, camera, lashes. 4-in-1 mascara. I just got this bag yesterday. So far I have only tried the Tarte mascara. I was super excited about getting this because I have been wanting to try the brand Tarte. I love the brush and it worked really well. However, I am excited about trying all the other products.
If you haven't joined the Ipsy craze I suggest you do it. Its $10 a month and you get alot of stuff that you get to keep. Also, if you like the products then they give you coupons for those products.

mid 20's crisis?
Everyone has heard of a mid life crisis, normally happens when people are 50ish. Is there such thing as a mid 20's crisis?
I think there is and I think I am there. I feel like my life is boring and I am stuck in a rut and I need something new and interesting.
Here is a list of things that I think would help my crisis:
1. A dog:I have recently fell in love with Labradoodles but I would also gladly take a shih tzu.

2. A MAN. Heres my newest slogan for what I want in a man: "Age 21-28, I dont discriminate, as long as he is someone my eyes don't hate" Yeah I just came up with that one night but it works.
3.A car: I love my car. so so much. It is so cute and sporty and fits me. However, its getting older and it may be time to get a new one. I want either a Mazda CX-7 or a Nissan Rogue or any other SUV.


4. A new job. Now this is the scariest of the whole list. I love my job but I am stuck at my job. There is no room for moving up and I don't make the best salary. However, looking for a new job means looking for a new place, as in a new city, to live in. terrifying.
So as you can tell I really have no idea what I want or need for that matter.
BTW: update on my hair, I got it done and fell in LOVE. Its is so perfect and turned out just like the picture. btwbtw: I think that's another sign of my mid 20's crisis, changing my hair color.

fake blonde.
The title makes it seem like I am fake. I am not. I am about the realest person you will ever get. However, my hair color is extremely fake. I am a natural brunette, like medium brown probably. I wouldn't really know though because I have not seen my natural hair color since I was about 12.
I keep my hair heavily highlighted with blonde. In fact, most people think I am a natural blonde. HA fools:) Sometimes, I think I want to try something different. By sometimes, I mean like maybe twice in my life.
Well, it has come that time again. Tomorrow I am getting my hair done like this:
See the difference?
So, I am having a mini panic attack because both times when I have tried to change from super blonde I have never liked it. Also, I am using a semi new hair dresser, this will be her third time doing my hair after switching from my life long hair dresser. Y'all pray for me and her! I'm going to cross my fingers and hope I like it.

buzzfeed.
Okay, so I have not mentioned this before but I am obsessed with buzzfeed. I look at buzzfeed articles all the time. I also love the quizzes. Me and one of my friends do the quizzes all the time.
I now know what Disney princess I am, where I should get married, what pet I should have, what frozen character I am, what color I am, which Beyonce and Taylor swift song describe my life, and what late night sitcom I am most like. You know, all that vital information one should know about their selves.
They actually have really good articles too though. Another thing about me that I have not mentioned is that I love makeup. This is where the beauty part of "the beauty and the beer" comes in. I don't go crazy and buy a ton of make up all the time but I love putting make up on people. Most of the time when the girls are getting ready to go out, my sister has a formal event, or anything like that I am asked to their make up. I love it! I have always said I want to get a cosmetology license in make up and do that as a side job.
Last night, I came across this buzzfeed article and I think it is the coolest little article so I wanted to share. It combines my love for buzzfeed and make up. Also, if you have never checked out buzzfeed before, do it! It's a life changer. Enjoy the article!

last week in a nutshell.
Hello! I know I haven't posted a blog in a little while so I am back on it today. The thanksgiving holiday kept me busy and when I wasn't busy I was enjoying my turkey induced comas.:)
Nothing exciting has happened in my life since my last post. However, I had a thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Black Friday shopping on Friday, and a thanksgiving dinner on Saturday.
I clarified the Black Friday shopping on Friday because it is not just on Friday anymore. Apparently Black Friday shopping is also on Thursday now, weird. Anyways, I finished ALL of my Christmas shopping Friday. ALL OF IT! That has never happened to me before. Then again I have never really had any money before HA.
Something new in my life. Tinder. LOL yes the dating app. I am so not the type to use a dating website or anything like that. However, I had 2 kinda dates last weekend and both went bad, so I thought why not.
So, Tinder is fun. I mean the only way the people know anything about you is if you both "like" each other. Do I think it will actually help me find a man? maybe, maybe not. Right now, it's all I got. So wish me luck!

horrible bosses.
As I mentioned previously, I am working at my first big girl job. This post is to tell you about my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad boss. Okay, that maybe a tad bit of an exaggeration. However, today I am extremely annoyed by her.
If anyone knows me at all they know that I am extremely punctual. I am early to everything. Actually my biggest pet peeve is being late. With that being said, I am normally the first one to work everyday. It is either me or another lady in the office but we are always early.
Today, was not one of those days. I woke up at 7:47 AM. I have to be at work at 8:00 AM. So major fail on my alarm clock. As soon as I wake up I text my boss and the secretary. Like literally the second I woke up, explaining that I will be late because my alarm was faulty. Also, my room is an absolute disaster zone so trying to find something to wear was pretty much impossible. My hair was in the biggest knots of life.
Somehow managed to find an outfit, threw my hair on top of my head, grabbed my makeup bag jetted out the door. Fortunately, I live like a mile or two from my job. Get to my desk at 8:15. To me that was impressive. As soon as I arrive to work I get an email reminding me of when office hours are.
Now, this disturbed me to no end. I am always early and you are going to say something to me the one time I am late. Actually not even say anything, email me. Then, be overly nice to me when you see me face to face. It also may have disturbed me so bad because it is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break. I already do not want to be here, I want to be on my way home with my family. Then, you are going to rude to me via email. I don't think so.
Needless to say I will be doing ZERO work all day long.:)

the party never stops.
As I have mentioned before, this girl loves to party. With that being said I spent Friday night in the city partying. I went to a dance club until it shut down, then went to a country dance bar. I went with a group of five people and two other people met us there. However, if you were at either of these places you would think I went alone.
First, let me mention at this second I just noticed a big glob of cheese on my phone? what....
So, let me back up start the night over for ya'll. I planned to go out, start getting ready at about 6:30 so of course I start drinking. Since I do love partying I have built up quite the alcohol tolerance. Therefore, I start drinking on a mixed drink pretty early. (sidenote: my drink of choice, right now, is Capt. Morgan and Diet Coke, YUM) I get ready by 7:30. I am looking HAWT. I mean not to toot my own horn but I really was. My outfit was on point and so was the eye makeup. So lets talk about the outfit. I do not own anymore club going outfits. Maybe its because I am slightly overweight and have grown out of those clothes, maybe its because I am a professional and got rid of those clothes. I am not sure why I don't, but I still have that one go to shirt.
Since, I am ready now me and the roomie play beer pong and card games to try to get a hard pregame going. We leave for the city at 10 ish and I am feeling great. Drink all the way up there. BTW we had one guy with our group, the rest were girls, this guy does not drink at all. Woohoo! My new DD for life. Go to this new club, fall in love. They played hip hop, dubstep, techno ish music. I dance my little white ass off. I absolutely love to dance. I did not sit out one song, literally danced every second I was there. Also, danced on the stage multiple times because I am that girl.
After this club closes we got to the country dance bar. Naturally they play country music. I danced every second I was there also. Anything from twerking to two-stepping, I didn't care I was going to dance to it. So, needless to say I had a Blast last night.
The Morning after..
I did not get back until 4:30, which is late when you are asleep by midnight every night. I wake up at 10:00 am. I am dead, craving water, can not move. Finally I get around go get me a Mcchicken from Mcdonalds, my go to hangover food, and large water. That helped a little but as I am walking around the house I notice my body is sore. My knees are aching, my butt hurts, my thighs are tight. I am legit sore everywhere. So I will spend the remainder of my day laying in bed drinking my weight in water, feeling like death.
I do not think I am too old to go out but maybe I just can't go as hard as I use to which really makes me sad. However, I think I would rather not go as hard then to be this sore again, ouch!
and back to the cheese, no idea where it came from or what else I don't remember from the night. LOL

small rant.
Dependent. I hate that word, I hate being dependent on other people. Well unless its my family of course. However, this morning I am extremely dependent on anyone but my family.
My car broke yesterday. I have no idea what is wrong with it all I know is that it won't start. I live in town 100 miles away from all family, I have no boyfriend, and I do not have any male or female friends that really know anything about cars. The guy I am "talking" to seems a logical answer for help, right? Nope, knows less about cars than me, cool. I mean I am in a college town. No one at college really knows anything besides go to class, call mom or dad for help.
I am legit looking into taking auto mechanics classes online or something just so I know a little about cars.
So my questions is.... If everyone of us has grown up in a world were pretty much everyone drives a vehicle, why are we not taught more about them? Has learning things from your dad, that he learned from his dad really stopped or did our dads stop learning. How do I know so many males that do not know anything about cars? I hate to place this all on males, because I would love to know stuff about cars as well.
Anyways, the past two days and probably the rest of the week I will be alternating between coworkers to see if anyone can give me a ride to and from work. :/
