Hump Day {ha}

I learned 10 things about myself today

 (in no particular order):

1) I talk to myself the whole time I get ready. 

Mostly my "conversations" are pep talks but sometimes they venture over into just rambling nothings.

2) I will never be able to have a style blog.

I missed two belt loops this morning while getting ready.  There are only 5.  

3) I wake up every single morning....hungry.

My body hates that I'm trying to be healthy (er). It's revolting against me.

4) I have a nervous habit of smiling at myself in the mirror when I get ready.

You can never be too prepared to have some random paparazzi attack you, right?

5) I have chubby wrists.

Don't ask. It's just a fact of life that I discovered today. Great.

6) If I'm not exactly sure what lyrics a song contains, I make some up that fit.

My version: "We've got more bounce in California than all y'all combined.  We've got more bounce in California and we're leaving you behind."

Original: "We've got more bounce in California than all y'all combined.  We've got more bounce in California, we like to party all the time."

Close enough.

7) I am officially addicted to Amazon.com (partially because they remember my card number so it saves me time)

All I have to do is press "order item." Yes. Yes. Yes.

8) When I zone out, I make my hair look like a mustache/beard over my face.

I'm not even going to try to explain this one.

9) I'm in love with watching wedding videos and crying over people I don't know.

I'm a girl. Get over it! It's what we do.

10) I live a blessed, healthy life.

We take our health for granted way too often y'all.  Say a thankful prayer today.

Hope your Hump Day was filled with just as much discovery!

Ides of Hotties

Welcome to Sunday Funday!  

 {{{ Sunday Funday = church, lunch, possible mini nap/chill and movie night. }}}

Tonight's little RedBox treasure we scooped up was Ides of March.  {It's literally the only one my apartment hasn't seen. We're movie freaks.} Here are my lovely/random thoughts:

1) I had to google "Ides" because who the heck has ever used that in casual conversation?! "Oh, I'm so looking forward to the Ides of this year..." - Nobody...ever 

2) Just in case you kocked yourself into a coma, Ryan Gosling and George Clooney are both in this movie. I repeat, RYAN GOSLING and GEORGE CLOONEY in one movie. Uh, hello....sign. me. up.  

3) They're freakin' democrats and the whole movie is based on lies and cheaters.  HELLO! RED FLAG!!!! Is anyone making movies on how shady republicans are? No. Do you know why? Because we're freakin' classy.  Can't compete, sucka.

4) Can't take my eyes off Ryan Gosling in glasses. Give me Ryan or give me death!

5) I went into this movie hating politics and I came out hating it about 100 times worse.  No wonder Obama is president...these people are freakin' lunatics. 

To wrap this thing up, I recommend this movie for when you're looking to watch a serious movie.  You will not cry {unless you're like ridiculously emotionally unstable} and you probably won't be too happy.  Enjoy a straight forward, intense movie.

Literally drooling..... sigh.

2012: The Year of Everything Good

Since I'm only 20 days into this year, and only 3 days back on my blog grind, here are my 2012 resolutions. Prepare yourself.  This is going to be a busy year.

1) Lose weight (shocker)
2) Surrender myself to God...completely. (LONG OVERDUE.)
3) Go to El Disco Rio (nice little hispanic club across the way that happens to be G.H.ETTO)
4) Find a Job. (mandatory since I'll be graduating in May.)
5) Ride in a hot air balloon. (debating on this one ever since 11 people died when one crashed)
6) Get back on my iceskating grind. (yuhhhhhh)
7) Do a 10K.... (........kill me now)
8) Do something productive towards my bakery. (like...bake)
9) Volunteer at a homeless shelter at least 3 times a month. (and try to avoid crying each time)
10) Send my brother off to college in Colorado without having a mental breakdown that is going to put me in the loony bin for the rest of my life. (yeah right)
11) Get highly involved in Gateway. (my church)
12) Be intentional with my friendships. (you better get ready. i'm intense when intentional)
13) Be better on my social media grind (gotta keep with the days, y'all)
14) find me a husband. (PLEASE, LORD. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. FINGERS CROSSED.)


Dang. There it is. Now it's time to stop bloggin' and get to gettin'.

He Is Jealous For Me.

I know I already posted today but y'all have to realize something. He is jealous for us.  He, the God of the whole universe, the God that picked every single trait you have and fused it perfectly together, the God that knows how many stinkin' hairs you have on your head!!!!!...is jealous for you.

BE OVERWHELMED AND HUMBLY THANKFUL. 

He takes every situation that has every happened in the history of ever and makes it glorify Him. How does that happen?  I cannot explain it. I cannot explain how He has taken my whole life and morphed it into His glory.  

ON. TOP. OF. THAT....

He still loves me.  Why? Why me? Because He is perfect love.  No human being could ever forgive the way He does.  WOW. Praise Him for loving me.  Praise Him for forgiving. Praise Him for M.E.R.C.Y.

Y'all.  We're blessed.  We are blessed beyond blessed actually. There are no words...

Send a prayer of thankfulness and humbleness up tonight because you'll never find any other love. 

Let this verse rock your world:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. - James 1:2-3

Boundaries?

I feel like this whole blog thing is a little dangerous. Like, are there rules for what you can and cannot post? Can I rant? Can I electronically cry? Can I write a novel?

Yes?....SWEET FREEDOM!

Twitter only gives me 140 characters to say what I gotta say. Do you know how long it takes me to figure out how to smash what I have to say into 140 characters? (a good 5-10 minutes. That's how long.) Talk about high freakin' blood pressure. Twitter is also like the mini muzzle to social media. "Better say what you gotta say quick cuz we're shuttin' ya up." Thanks, mom. *insert eye roll.*

A Facebook status is just straight immature these days. Like, unless it's going to help people come to Jesus, I won't be posting anything on there but pictures...and maybe the occasional "poke". There are far too many girls spillin' their guts on what they think is their "digital diary."

NEWS...FUHLASH...nobody cares that you saw your ex in Wal-Mart and now you're crying in your room listening to Taylor Swift.  Get better music choices and maybe I'll start caring more. Maybe. (see link at bottom for a better choice.)

MySpace died with Anna Nicole Smith. The end. Don't even try to argue... RIP

After saying all that, prepare yourself.  I'm hittin' this blog thing full force.  No more attempts at a blog post a day or that picture a day crap.  I'm being real. Real life blog post when I have actual time to do it.

Ready...set....leggo.

Citizen's Arrest

Like most people in the world, I hate cops.  Until recently I have cursed them every time I come across one. (Get off my back, you do too.) BUT lately...and when I say lately I mean like yesterday.... my roommates and I have gotten into this new thing of finding / fighting crime. Yesterday, to start off this new habit off right, we involved ourselves in a high speed chase.

High Speed Chase = 6 cop cars + 1 run away car + 2 patrolling officers later + us following.

I couldn't make this crap up if I tried. Who the heck comes across a high speed chase on their way home from QT?! We do.  That's who. Legit.

Also, guess who has a CB radio app that can tune into police scanners? This girl. Legit again.

We listened to that sucker / patrolled for an hour then decided the police didn't need our assistance so we just went home.  Better luck next time. (Thank you Apple for your iPhones that have awesome battery life and let me stalk the crap out of the surrounding neighborhoods. Preciate ya)  

THEN.... (the story continues)

Tonight we were just strolling around touring the ghetto (which is not a usual hobby for us but we're trying to diversify ourselves before we get out into the real world) and we come across nothing....

Now you're thinking: "Why the hell would she blog about nothing?" 

WELL..... So we drove around for an hour without finding anything then I begged, and I mean I had to freakin' beg, Taylor to take one last right turn down some sketch neighborhood. 

Guess who found an apartment on fire with tons of fire trucks and a police car?

Me. #winning

So we drive around the whole dang apartment complex, witness some sketch drug deals or something of the matter, then come around to the whole crime scene. I'm not sure if it was actually a "crime" per say but there was definitely a huge fire that they had just put out and like 7 fire trucks.

The pictures didn't come out as planned because apparently my iPhone can't really pick up flashing lights too well. (It started acting up when Steve Jobs died.)  After so many failed attempts we just packed up and went home. 

Two nights of police cars, sketch drama and CB radio calls makes for fun stories to tell my kids. Success.
