One week...

So in one week exactly I will be on a plane headed to Ohio. Me and my sister are going to see my dad's side of the family. It will be the first time ever meeting them. The only person we will know there will be my dad... which not having really had a conversation in the last 6 or so years... thats not saying too much.

Its gonna be really intersting to say the least.

I dont know what to expect. I dont know how to act, what to say, or even what to wear. Me and my sister are grown now, Im in my late 20's (ugh! Haha) and we have grown up without this other set of family.

I think it will definitely be cool to see them and to talk to them. It will be neat to see how similar we are. From what I know about my dad I know we have really similar personalities so it will be crazy to see who else has similar personalities too, or what other qualities bring us together.

Hhhmm...

so cute!!

This movie looks soo good. I dont think it comes out for awhile here though.

V vs. W...

So its the age old question... Vampires versus Werewolves. I am reading a new book (Sorry B, I have your House of Night... which I need to finish the rest of em!) but its about vampires and I think there are werewolves in it too (of course)- Its called City of Bones and it got me thinking as to which is better... so I decided I needed to make a pro and con list of each of these creatures to really determine who is best.
Vampires:
pro- very attractive... con- too "pretty"
pro- smart (cuz they live forever)... con- who wants to date a smarty pants?!
pro- romantic... con- too sensitive
pro- they like to party... con- too much partying can be bad when you have other stuff to do.
pro- usually rich... con- (there isnt one to this)
pro- they love mortals... con- i think they just say this to catch you off guard and they can eat you later


Werewolves:
pro- cute in a manly way... con- bad hygeine in a manly way
pro- warm!... con- a.c. is a must
pro- loyal... con- no independent time
pro- strong... con- too rough
pro- mortal (well some of them)... con- (there isnt one to this)
pro- they can go out in the daylight... con- (there isnt one to this either)

Hhmm... it looks like Werewolves are taking it... but I dont think this debate is over. Im gonna have to do a little more research.... which means lots more reading of these awesome fictional books!!! Muuuahahahaha.

Jealous!

I saw Funny People yesterday aaand I have to say it was better than what I thought it was gonna be. The only thing is that its such an adult movie, haha. If that makes sense. I dont like movies that make me think, oh man thats gonna suck when I get older.... but there were some funny parts.

Did you see how this girl got to go on the set of Funny People...Jealous!

I wish I could have met all those guys!!!

ugh.

I hate being lonely.

I think the idea of keeping yourself busy during times of being alone is really just trying to take up time so that you aren't alone with your thoughts.

There's no action, book, movie, or anything else that will fix it.

So lame... geez.

stuffs.

So I should probably be working right now but instead I have decided to spend a lot of my afternoon looking at cute stuff on etsy. Particularly furniture.
I love these. If I had a house it would be so cute and whimsical. One day!

hair.

I wish I had long hair again. Oh the turmoils of being a girl, haha.
So my plan is to get down to the size I wanna be and then when I reach that goal I am going to go shopping and get blonde hair! Yay!!
Im gonna TRY to not buy any clothes til then. ( I would say shoes too, but why make promises I cant keep! Haha. Plus shoes only come in the size you need them)

Here are some ideas for blonde:

Movies about LOVE.

I have to see these movies. The trailers have come out awhile ago but I think they are going to be playing here pretty soon. Geesh why do movies take so long! I wanna see em now!! Haha.




p.s. I think this actually might be playing this weekend! Lets go!

weekend!

Well I had a pretty good weekend overall.
( I didnt get as much homework done as I should have though )

I had Friday off!! (Thank You Utah) from school and work. It was wonderful. I actually did work out a little (go me!). Haha and kind of took my time the whole day doing nothing else.... then we met at the mall and had to have a sweet treat before the game... isnt this huge???!

So CC, B, Blake, Will, and me were the ones that ended up going to see Real.
It was a really good game and we won in the end. Some people were actin a fool, but it was def a good time. Plus we have some plans in the works for our super-fan ideas. mmmmwwwwahahahah!
There were some fireworks after... and I must say it was to the most random playlist I have ever heard. Haha.



---------------------

Saturday I didnt get to work out... lame. haha. But I helped my sister in getting settled into her new place then we went to IHOP. It was pretty tasty.
I took the longest nap for some reason... like 3 hours! Oh how I love sleeeping.
I met B, Alex, CC, and Brooklyn for some early dinner at Veggie house. I could eat there everyday... well not if I want a nice body... but if I wanted to have good food. Haha.
A little later I met up w/ Darlenie and Shrimp over at Ricardo's house for good ol fashioned texas hold'em, Richard's grandma even played with us! It was so fun! Of course none of us could hold up our own against the more experienced! Haha. We played for quite awhile though... I think I need to improve my skills if Im ever gonna get my money back.

----------------------

Sunday I went to the ever-so-tasty Ruth's Diner w/ Bekky (plus we got to see Al keepin it real at work). It was such a nice day too, it could have been a little cooler but it was still nice.
I was able to hang out w/ my sister again that afternoon and we just had to watch the new True Blood at my mom's new place. (who can pass up a huge tv w/ amazing AC and tons of snacks?!)
Finally I got home and decided to do a little homework that I had intentions of doing the whole weekend. OOoopsie!!

For some reason long weekends take a lot out of me. Im tired!! haha.

Im addicted...

to cute shoes. I really am. This is how I know: as soon as I try on a pair I love, I have to have them.... AND the other reason I am addicted is because as soon as I have them they make me so happy. Haha. Its just w/ shoes though, not clothes. Shoes always look good where sometimes you can have a bad day with clothes. Haha.

Well anyways... here is a new pair I found that I think Im gonna need ASAP.



... the weird thing is that I dont even wear half of the shoes that I have. Haha. Oh well.

p.s. they are at plasticland

Brooklyn Rae Mark...

It was so nice to meet you today.

CC! You have a baby!!! AAhhhhh!! I am really so excited to see her grow up and become such a lovely little lady.
I know she is gonna be super adorable and sassy.

I remember when you told some of us after my Bday HP party and it was so crazy and so unbelievable... and then a few months and she is here. The time seemed to take forever but then again it was so quick.

Im so happy she is here.



The yellow tutu is gonna be adorable btw.

Bikini... It's on.

So I decided Ive been lazy enough and I need to get back into getting in shape. I dont even care that summer is almost half way over, haha. I still gotta get a nice body whether its in a bikini or not. (plus swimming season is still on for like a month & 1/2 so I got some time). I think its gonna be a little harder than when I first started at the beginning of the year because its harder once you have plateaued. Im def gonna try though. Here is some of my plan:
1. Eat better. Less sugar, less dairy. SMALL meals including more veggies. less fruit and less breads.
2. Lots and lots of water. I need to get at least 32 oz every day.
3. 8 hours of sleep EVERY night. (this might be tough, haha)
4. Work out every day... but not Aerobic everyday. Alternate between the gym, running outside, hiking, stretching, weights.
5. Less stress. This kinda sounds silly but stress really does add on the pounds, so it more a matter of dealing with things instead of eating, haha. We will see.

I think I can do it. The hardest part is staying motivated. Im motivated today so I just have to make it last, haha.

Plus this one piece swimming suit is giving me really weird tan lines including a super pale stomach- so not cute.... And it sucks when you gotta use the restroom. haha.
