2 down...

So earlier this month I did a “list” of things to do within a matter of time.

I recently marked off ANOTHER item. I’m doing SO GOOD. I could be done by CHRISTMAS at this rate!

I was able to mark off #8 : buy something from Etsy.

I know you’re probably thinking, Cio. Seriously. You should think about putting things on your list that are actually CHALLENGING. Well…kiss my butt. Buying something off of Etsy IS HARD. There’s just SO much I want. I can’t DECIDE.

I ended up going with 2 newborn beanies. I was like my friend Lauren who had thought about getting a particular item off of Etsy but just never got around to it, till the VERY LAAAAAAST MINUTE. No seriously. Like my friend had her baby two days ago, and I ordered it the day before. Bahaha. What’s worse is that they won’t come in for another 4 WEEKS! Guess I didn’t learn from Lauren, after all. OOPS. Funny thing is I may up keeping them for photo shoots I do, cause I saw pictures of the new baby. And no lie. SHE’S GOT A PRETTY BIG NOGGIN.

hehe, oh well. At least I got to mark it off my list!

Precious

Today was a pretty long day. I’ve been “out” for about 12 hours. I’m tired.

Today I was meeting up with mom and sis in Houston, to do some shopping. And WHO is going to pass up shopping with my sister?? NOT ME! Well she decided that she wanted to go to Ikea. And WHO is going to pass up the opportunity to go to IKEA?!?!?!? NOT ME I SAID!

Yeah yeah, I did buy a few things, but nothing major. Who DOESN’T need a 72 pk of tea light candles?? AM I RIGHT?? Well after Ikea, and an AMAZING lunch at Cacker Barrel ( I had the meatloaf sandwhich, btw, and it makes me want to learn how to make meatloaf ASAP) I headed home.

It was about 4:30 and I’m passing Spring. I thought to myself SURELY I can do something else before going home for the day. I called up some friends, but everyone was busy doing their own thing (like recoverying from surgery, hanging out with old friends, or going to a dinner party). Hmmm, what do to?

Well naturally I went to the movies. I don’t mind going alone, I do it quite often. So, go ahead make fun of me, judge me, whatevs. I don’t care. I had decided to do a double feature. There are so many good movies out right now that I WANT TO SEE ALL OF THEM. “Precious” and “Blindside” were my two choices tonight.

I had JUUUUUUUST missed “Precious” as a matinee by like 10 mins. And NO I WILL NOT go into a movie late. I MUUUUUUUST see the previews. I MUST. Or I die. Yeah. It’s THAT serious. So I wait around for the next time slot. I had a good two hours to spare. What do you do with 2 hours, with no one to hang out with? In a town where you don’t really know anyone? Well you go to stores that you’ve never actually looked around in. DUH. I went across the street to Hubble and Hudson. Even though I’d been in there once before, I didn’t go past the gelato section that day. So I took advantage of the opportunity to explore the store further. I liked it. I bought myself a magazine and went upstairs to chill. Best Magazine EVER. It has some AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZING reciepes that I sent pictures of to certain people. And by certain people I mean friends that can actually bake/cook.

yadda yadda yadda, I FINALLY get into the movie. Have you ever seen the previews for “Precious” ? , You should. GO NOW. I mainly wanted to watch it cause of all the hype it had, and talk about the controversal issues within the movie. I won’t tell you about it, in case you want to see if for yourself. But wow, I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in her shoes. Even though I did see some similarities between me and Precious (none of the BAD things, thankfully) it broke my heart to see what she had to go through.

Needless to say I didn’t make it to the next movie. I was depressed enough, I had to come home.  There’s so much more I’d like to write about, but it would take up another 6 billion paragraphs, so I’ll save it for another time.

I’m beat. Time to go back into my comfy bed, and thank the God lord above for the blessings in my life.

adios.

Your Ass Needs To GO!

So once upon a time I work out at a christian camp. You know what THAT means…

Well it means that when you get a chance to “cuss” and it be “OKAY”, you jump on that chance like white on rice!

No seriously. It’s true.

Yesterday a worker of mine had come into camp to have her car looked at by the maintenance guys. She walks in the office and says “So, a mule followed me into camp” Maintenance guy #1 says “whhhattt.” I laughed. She said “yeah, it followed me in, but it kept going straight when I turned.”

We shrugged out shoulders and thought, oh well…

Soon the secretary came over the radio saying there were reports of a donkey/mule on Lakeside and she wanted Maintenance to corral it out…

Since I was standing next to a Maintenance guy #1, I said ” I’ll go with you!” I wanted to see it. We get to lakeside, and we find said mule following two camper ladies (like 10 feet behind them). They look at us like “uhhhhhhhhhhh….it just followed us. We didn’t know what to do.” lol. The golf cart, we were in, scared the mule. It started to trot off…We got out of the cart and chased it on foot.

“What a JackAss!” someone said as we ran after it. Everyone else laughed. ahaha

Well of course, that just avalached  into all kinds of jokes. It’s ok it’s ok cause “jack ass” is in the bible, someone else said. lol I love we justify things like that. and by love it i mean i shake my head and giggle about it

It’s not everyday you chase an ass out of camp.

It’s not everyday you can say “Ass” at Christian camp.

So there’s that.

Cause i'm a REBEL that's why...

a few of the blogs I read have this “Ten on Tuesday” thing where they answer questions. I decided to do it on Wednesday.CAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL. You know me, always breaking the rules… so. here it goes…

1. What are some of your family traditions? immediate family, we always go have Thanksgiving with Gma (my dad’s mom) and Christmas we always travel to Mexico to celebrate with my g-ma (mom’s mom). Since we’re always traveling, we like to give our gifts to each other before we leave (so we don’t have to drag more presents, but it never fails, we always bring each other another little something, haha)

2. Do you know how to change a flat tire? Yes I do, and change the oil, and air filter, and headlights, and rear lights and belts!…. I’ve had my truck for a long long time. : )

3. Do you subscribe to any magazines? What are your favorites? I don’t subscribe to any magazines, even though I would love to. I would def. read them if someone subscribed me. I love most photography magazines(of course), my favs are “Black and white” and “JPGMagazine”

4. What are your top three favorite office supply items? (If you don’t share the love of office supplies with me or if you are male, you may skip this question.) At work I’m in my office alot (probably more than I should be lol) My top office supplies are a) Sharpie PENS (not the markers), cause the point is SO fine, i love it. b) Sticky notes, I use them daily c) white out (the tape kind, not the liquid)

5. Are you a good public speaker? Not really. I take after my mother, if i’m speaking to a large crowd i tend to get monotone and use my hands A LOT more than normal. UNLESS, i’m on the low ropes course, and i’m the facilitator, then i’m ALL about it! (I dunno what it is about the ropes course that brings out the extrovert in me - that i didn’t know i had)

6. How do you feel about acronyms? OMG I LOVE THEM

7. What’s the most creative things you’ve ever done? (Bloggers, feel free to include pictures!) I’m not a very creative person, honestly. But I did manage to make my little nikon point and shoot camera a little pouch to carry it in, on Craft Sunday, don’t have a picture of it sadly…maybe some other time.

8. I’d rather jam a pen in my eye than…ummm…Go.To.The.”GIRL” doctor.

9. What company has the best advertising? Levi’s. definitely. See here

10. When is your birthday? August 4, 19^& , ok i’m OLD. There. I said it. *sigh* I don’t want to talk about it. *Insert Charlie brown moment*  Also I hated my birthday when I was young, cause I all got for my birthday WERE SCHOOL SUPPLIES! Epic fail.

BuZZZ...BuZZZZ

I got stung by two bees today (honey bees), They are out with a vengance right now, as they’re preparing for the winter. They’re all like “GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY, OR I’LL STING YOU!” I didn’t even SEE these little guys are I was walking out of a cabin, this afternoon.  I can report that the LAST time I had gotten stung was Summer of 1999, and CRRRAZY enough, it was in the same spot! (well,ok, different leg, but same spot)

I called my mom to ask her if there was something I could put on it, to reduce swelling, or make it feel better….

She was all “just put ice on it”, She mentioned to me that my grandma sometimes gets stung INTENTIONALLY, she claims it helps with circulation. I told my ma ” I DON’T CARE ABOUT CIRCULATION, I care about NOT HURTING”…

in other news, I got PAID today. PRAISE JESUS…food was getting pretty scarce there…I almost had to eat just a can a beans lol…

right now, it’s benadryl,nap, THEN grocery shopping…

HUGGABLE

So, the photo shoot I mentioned in yesterday’s post…. I couldn’t help but give a sneak peak! These are only TWO of the GORGEOUS children I got to photograph. I LOVE THEM.
