Obsessive fangirl

Okay i've been trying to contain my excitement within the walls of twitter and facebook. But i couldn't hold it back any longer... I just had to do a blog post about it.
If you haven't read the series of books that is causing an outrage across America... then please explain to me how big the rock you're living under is?
Honestly i could care less about those draby (if that's even a word) vampires that caused craziness for about 3 years...
This right here my friends is DIFFERENT. No i tell people that i love the books and they're like "That movie was so dumb. It's gonna be just like those vampire ones." then i get sad, but I think... no no no no no. It's going to be NOTHING like those vampire ones.
Anyways i'm beyond excited for Catching Fire. The next book in the Hunger Games Trilogy. He's a few of my fav photos i saw today...





A few scenes i'm so stoked about...
1. The opening games scene when they're on the water and Peeta can't swim. 
2. When they meet Finnik!
3. When they're all training.
4. Peeta tells Caesar about "the baby" 
5. Her dress.

Okay i'm mostly excited for the entire movie itself. But those are going to be some of the highlights.
eeeeeek! November 22nd!

Okay have a good day!

I wish i was a fortune teller.

Typically when you hear the word fortune teller you think a little old witch looking lady in a booth at a carnival. Yes that is what you think. But as of lately i've been waiting and wishing i could meet a handsome hunk to date. I just got out of year long relationship. Surprise Surprise it didn't work out. We clashed more than i realized. And i honestly couldn't stand it anymore. People were shocked i guess... others were just glad it finally happened. So here's to the single life.

Unfortunately i made the mistake when we were together to sign up for a college class together. Great. I was too much of a chicken to drop it... so i'm in for the long haul. So as soon as we broke off like a month and a half ago. A guy-friend of my sister's wrote me on facebook asking if i wanted to go on a motorcycle ride with him. First reaction: HECK YEAH! Second reaction: wait till my ex- boyfriend (He who shall be not named) sees me on a motorcycle ride with this cutie! Okay so i didn't take any picture while we were on the motorcycle ride... but i did feel like i was getting back at him for being a loser boyfriend.

My friend Tanya asks one Monday morning before school starts if i'd like to go on a group date with her and a couple other ladies. I say sure. So we go on this date. Starts out like any old group date, a little awkwardness and shyness. By the time we're sitting down at Chilli's we got a good little flirting system me and my friend Nicole and I. Its going good. Until the one cutie goes in the other car when we leave chilli's. Yeah not how i planned that one. Oh well. Flirting was over. We went to this supposedly scary house in our neighborhood and look around in it. And one of the boys starts holding Nicole's hand. Oh boy. We'll leave it at that.
So by this time its like my second date since me and my ex are done. And it was fine honestly I don't regret it.
A couple weeks go by. Me and Nicole are sitting out in the foyer in church, while she's writing out her tithing. Along comes blondie (a male) and starts chatting with us. He looks oddly familiar to me and i cannot seem to remember where i know him from. Then it hits me as he's standing there. I worked with him at my very first job. You can read about that here.  But i was a young little senior in high school and never ever remembered working with him. As he looks at me sitting on the 90's style couch in the church he's says "I don't know if you remember me but we used to work at Kent's together." And i reply in a manor of "Oh yeah i thought you look familiar." We continue to chat about why i quit and what not. So that ends with a let's go to Cafe Zupas and get dinner sometime. Leaving open a window for a potential date. Score.

And so we come to yesterday...
Waiting for my Human Development class to start. My ex boyfriend waiting for his class math class to start right after our Art class just ended. Sitting in the Union Building at WSU. On the balcony for that matter on nasty green colored couch things. My phone gets no service which it should since its a college right? Anyway I start people watching because i'm beyond bored having to stare at my ex boyfriend sitting across the way from me. And behold the singles ward blondie comes walking in the doors. And i thought it'd just be a little pass by thing like this is probably the only other time i'd see him at school. So i don't think anything of it... about 10 minutes later... he comes walking up the stairs to the balcony and i casually look at my phone. Me and my ex are silent. And he's walking by. I'm thinking Should i say something? or just let him walk by? Okay why not? As soon as i look up he looks at me, and i stutter and say "Hey" in an awkward manor. Then it's more casual talk as we sit and talk. The most awkward part of it might just have been because he knew my ex.... ahhhhh lovely.

As i sit in my next class i realize he probably thought we were still together. Even though i reassured him several times on Sunday when we were chatting in the foyer that i was NOT dating anyone. So i turn it over to Facebook. I added him on Sunday so i wasn't worried about that. I messaged him and simply said "You should save me from boredom more often." Then he writes me back almost 4 hours later, only 4 or 5 conversation lines later and he says gotta go. clearly not interested.

I wish i was a fortune teller. So all this dating crap can go away and i can just see who i'm going to marry if i'm going to marry. If not i might as well start collecting cats. I've already got one. By my pinterest kitty bored you can tell i'm halfway to becoming a crazy cat lady.

Some days i love the single life and being free to date whoever... But I came to conclusion that its great to date and do whatever at this age, then there's those days where you wish someone cute would just be there for you whenever you wanted them to be there... So i could care less if guys are interested right now. Its a hard battle. Anyone wanna give me any advice on dating? I've heard almost everyone's. But i'm interested in anything really.

Here's to the Single life.

Let the fun begin.

In the midst of a crazy world and on going outrageous celebrity performances (example: Miley Cyrus VMA's 2013) I started my very first day of college. Although I only had one class I enjoyed the hype and nerves of it all. And I'm still looking forward to my next day. Wednesday i have 2 classes. And I couldn't be more excited! My Art teacher was not who i expected as my teacher. But she does seem very nice and reasonable. The class is small, but i think it might grow as days go on. I'm very excited to see what this class has in store.

Onto the dreaded book buying, i about teared up when it said $135 on the website. I thought i was going to have to pay that price. Oh no! I'm a bargain shopper i don't pay full price for nothing. So I have connections. Well not the best but hey i got a $90 book for $40! that's a steal in my eyes. Although the rest of the items i need for school equaled about $100... Wow this is going to break my bank.

As for clothing, I bought a total of 1 new shirt for school. I honestly didn't want to go shopping for clothes. Instead i did a little online dream list shopping. Which included boots, lots of boots and pinterest of course. If only i could have them all... But then i slap myself and come back to reality... It's okay to dream, just don't let it consume your entire day.

Then i'm in TJ  Maxx with a dear old friend and she keeps exclaiming to me that she wishes she had the right amount of confidence for my style. I'm not trying to sound selfish or greedy in the fashion matter. But i do get this a lot. I try telling her over and over that i don't look like everyday. If she saw what i wore to work on a daily basis she'd take back her words. Its true though I have a job where i sit at a desk and work with two guys that are already married. I don't care to impress them with my style so i don't wear my cute clothes to work. Everyday is like a jean and t-shirt kind of day. I have more t-shirts than i count and i wear them a lot. Occasionally i'll put a cardigan on or some cute sandals. But usually i'm simple and boring. I only ever get ready on the weekends for church and if i'm going out on a Saturday night or something. This is not an average cutesy fashion blog. This is a realistic fashion blog. I don't post a cute outfit everyday. Cause like i said before my outfits are not cute everyday. Sorry if you misinterpreted this blog. I simply am only living a truthful life. And I cannot sugarcoat anything that I feel needs to be said. With that being said, the first day of school is the only day i shall get ready this year. I'll keep ya posted if things change throughout the year. For now my first day of school outfit goes to the popular kids brand American Eagle. Although you can't see my full outfit in this photo. You can use your imagination.
Top: Plaid button down blouse- AE $11.99
Bottom: Artist Jean Capri's- AE Hand-me-down (sister-in-law)
Shoes: Strapy Red Sandels- Target $13

Where did July go?

Holy smokes July just came and went! It's August! How crazy! I spent majority of July with my family! And time goes by fast when you're with your family that's for sure! This past week I received my new watch, laid around with baby Oakley and Hudson turned Four and spent the whole day at Lagooon for his birthday! I'll never forget his face when he got drenched on rattle snake rapids. Priceless.
