i have not made my bed in days

untitled #2

My boyfriend and I enjoy watching tv shows that have come out on DVD, multiple episodes in one night, no commercials, the power to rewind and pause, it's great. However, we have not managed to finish any series that we have started...here are some series we've started but have failed to finish:

Wonder Years
Freaks and Geeks
Deadwood
Entourage

We are currently attempting Mad Men, we'll see how that goes.

hungry hungry hypocrite - part 3

I really don't see the point in getting married, why must there be the marriage license? Can't people just live together and be fully committed to one another forever without the license? Common law (in some states) allows couples who live together to file their taxes as "married", just as long there is no reason the two shouldn't be married, like if one person is already married.

Sounds like I'm going to be one of those women who never gets married to her boyfriend and has children out of wedlock doesn't it? Nope, I really want a wedding.

list, but not a bucket list

There is a gum commercial on tv that says that the average person has 28 first kisses...I thought there is no way, that's way too many! So I made a list, 31, and I'm sure there are some on there that I can't remember, guess it's not a far fetched statistic.

New Head of Hair

Getting my hair cut/colored today, working on going back to blonde, it has been a long process

Throne

Not only did I waltz into class late, thought it started at 12:40, started at 12:20, but since I was late there were no open desks. I had to sit on a chair in the middle of the room. Now I understand why professors won't always add extra students to the class list.

?

Now, I know I'm not perfect when it comes to grammar/punctuation/spelling, but...I was perusing the facebook home page and saw my cousin had put up a new status where she misspelled the word "tomorrow", she is 22 years old and this is her very creative way of spelling it:

"TOMMARROW"

Seriously?

wishful thinking #2

i also hope my future kids don't lie as much as i did, because i lied a lot about the dumbest things. here is a portion of a conversation that took place between me and one of my friend's parents, (the father from the french toast incident in my "elementary skills" post) my friend, we'll call her Philadelphia, was not present for this conversation so i think here dad was attempting to make small talk, i'm guessing this was in 2nd grade, before i get too far ahead i need to say this, i was the best reader in my class, i know this not only because i never made mistakes in class during group reading, but the teacher told my mom and she of course told me,  ok here it goes.

french toast dad: "how is your caramel apple?"

me: "good, messy"

french toast dad: "how is your reading in school?"

me: "good"

french toast dad: "are you better than Philadelphia?" 

me: (hesitate, shake head no) "i'm good, but she's a bit better than me"

now, this was the type of man that was absurdly pleased to here that his child was better than somebody else, i think that's why i lied, because i knew it was what he wanted to hear

wishful thinking

once when i was little my dad gave me a candy bar, twix, but when i opened it i found one of the twix sticks broken and i cried...i hope my future kids won't be as stupid as i was

odd habit #3

i don't eat oranges because i hate peeling them

his promise

"i promise that i will always be around to make you promises"

is he good or what?

ever after

This is a portion of a conversation that took place between me and the boy while in the kitchen, I was cutting up something during the convo.


ME: "...we're gonna have a happily ever after right?"

HIM: "um, could you put the knife down please?"


Must have been holding it in a menacing way.

soda pop curtis

I used to drink pop a lot, 20 oz Mt. Dew, went through a lot of them in high school and my first 2 years of college. But then, for some reason, I decided that I needed to limit my intake of sugar, just start drinking diet pop right? Wrong. I hate diet pop so much that I just stopped drinking pop in general.

shopping list that no longer exists

When you first move away from home for your first year of college you think you can buy and eat whatever you want, everything your parents would never buy, which is true. You have a meal plan so you can eat whatever you want for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the cafeteria, and the extra food you keep in your dorm for snacking is all the really good stuff. Things like Little Debbie Snacks, chips, pop tarts, ice cream sandwiches and chocolate milk. Then, after you've been away from home for say oh, 2 years, you realize why your parents didn't buy it for you when you lived at home. Shit's expensive.

When I moved out of the dorms and into a house when I was 20, I had to actually start buying groceries, not just snack food. Bread, milk and rice take precedence over anything delicious, I have not purchased anything that is wonderful in a very long time. I miss the following items:

oatmeal cream pies
little chocolate donuts
cosmic brownies
Pillsbury cinnamon rolls
toll house cookie dough
oreos
fig newtons
chips of any variations (i do indulge on occasion but it is not enough)
ice creammicrowave popcorn

fruit snacks (GUSHERS!)

odd habit #2

I have anxiety about the dumbest things, like dust jackets on hard cover books. I prefer hardcover book over paperback, however, hardcover almost always comes with a dust jacket, which I do not like. So you'd think I would simply throw away the dust jacket right? Wrong. I move it from spot to spot, none of which are actually on the book, but completely out of sight. Why can't I just throw them away?

Ignorant

It's funny when people misuse the word 'ignorant'.

happy new year

it's 2011 and cars don't wash themselves yet?

i'm not above peeing in the shower

kitty cat

The cat from Pinocchio, Figaro, is hilarious, check it out sometime.

mother knows best

I always wanted an Easy Bake Oven when I was younger, whenever I asked my mom for one she would say something like "Why do you want a little oven? I let you use the big one whenever you'd like just as long as I'm around". Now that I'm 23, I'm so tempted to buy one and use it. I would make little cakes, and layer them, and then have a tall little cake, then I realized, the little cake I would be making would basically be a cupcake, and I don't like cupcakes, I don't like cake in general. No need for an Easy Bake Oven. Guess I never really needed one in the first place.

my sister's bday

aaaa very merry unbirthday to me!

sick of saltines

It could very well be perceived that my life totally sucks right now. My boyfriend is out in Vegas celebrating his college graduation, while I work full time on second shift (3pm - 11:30 pm) and live off cream of wheat and saltines :(

i'm so stupid

Today when the qwerty keyboard on my phone crapped out on me I, for some reason thought the entire phone was out of commission...there is a fully functional number pad on my phone still, took me waaaay to long to figure this out. 

I know, could I get any dumber?

resolution

My new year's resolution is kind of weird...I want to be more prepared, always having stamps on hand for example. A recent wild goose chase around an unfamiliar Minnesota town has triggered this desire. So my resolution is kind of like a list of requirements:

1. Always have stamps on hand
2. Refill prescriptions as soon as they are empty
3. Keeping closer track of my keys, phone and chapstick
4. No procrastinating
5. And that whole high maintenance bit from my 12/26/10 post

Not much, but it's a start, I'll probably add to it as January progresses

elementary skills

A long time ago, when I was still in elementary school, I had stayed the night at a friend's house, in the morning we had breakfast, french toast. I cut up my french toast and stared to enjoy the syrup and powdered sugar combo, my friend (we don't speak anymore) started yelling at her father, (like seriously yelling, in a way that I would never speak to my parents) she was upset that he hadn't cut up her french toast for her. She then proceeded to yell at him for cutting up mine, he explained that I had cut mine up on my own, but instead of encouraging her to do the same he just did it for her. Now I'm not sure how old I was when this happened, but I was obviously old enough to cut up my own food, and old enough to think she was stupid for not knowing how to do so herself, and old enough to know that her father was an idiot for continuing to do it for her. How else was she going to learn? I remember feeling very proud that my parents had taught me how to do things for myself.
