Ninety Eight and Ninety Nine: 8 and 9 April 2015

Hey There Everyone,

I hope that the week has been treating y’all well! I’m just so thankful that it’s almost over, and I get to go home as usual.

Wednesday was a normal day and I didn’t really do much until after work, when I took Sarah grocery shopping. She was finally going to cook me dinner and we needed to gather some supplies! We went to Food Lion and while I was there I was finally able to find my favorite wine! I freaked out and I just had to buy it. I got a few other things and Sarah got all the ingredients she needed to make her chicken dish. Then once we got back to our apartment we put all the food away and Sarah and I worked on some homework before she went to a meeting. Once she was gone I finished my homework and watched some Disney movies. The first one I watched was Beauty and the Beast, and while I was watching that movie a huge thunderstorm came rolling through. I’m extremely afraid of thunderstorms and I was all by myself in the apartment… I was so scared and then the lights started to flicker, it was awful. It went on for a few hours before my roommates got back, and by then I was already starting another movie. I watched Anastasia, which was one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid. Once that movie was over I went to my room to do some homework that I had completely forgotten about and I ended up staying up until 1:30 because I did the assignment and I helped Sarah make a marinade for the dish she was making. So I was really tired when I woke up this morning.

This brings me to today, which hasn’t been all that exciting either but it was still a pretty good day. I woke up late this morning because I was so tired so I didn’t have time to curl my hair so I straightened it. I did my makeup and made my coffee like usual and then I went to all of my classes and nothing too exciting happened. Then while I was at work I played some card games with some of my guy friends, when one of them told me that I was like cocaine and right as I was about to get offended he told me I was like cocaine because it’s pure, sweet, powerful, and addictive just like me. He and I haven’t been friends that long so it was a little strange for him to be saying that to me but I took the compliment nonetheless. Then after work I headed straight to my room and took a 2.5 hour nap, it was much needed because the last 10 minutes of work I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I had wonderful dreams while I was napping and I was sad when I woke up to find they weren’t true. I laid in my bed an extra 45 minutes after I woke up because I was so comfortable and I wasn’t ready to get up, so I played on my phone until my stomach told me it was hungry and I needed to get up and get some food. Once I rejoined my roommates Sarah and I started to make dinner and put on a movie. We decided to watch White Chicks while we cooked an Asian inspired chicken and rice dish. It was absolutely delicious and I was disappointed I got full because I wanted to eat more of it. Then after we ate we continued watching our movie and when that one was over we watched Bridesmaids which is one of our favorites. In the middle of that movie I got a phone call from a very special person to me so I excused myself and laid on my bed talking to him and he is currently still on the phone but he is sleeping because I can hear him snoring and its adorable. He always falls asleep on me so this is normal and I usually stay on the line for a few more minutes in case he wakes back up. I don’t think he is going to though and I might have to hang up on him; which I hate doing. But I’m going to get ready for bed now and I will talk to all of you later! I hope you have an awesome Friday!

Day Seventy Nine and Eighty: 20 and 21 March 2015

Hey all you wonderful people!

I hope you've been having a great weekend so far! Not much has happened in mine so it's been nice.

On Friday I woke up at my usual time of 7:45 am and got myself together for the day. Then I made Sarah and myself some caramel lattes before making my way to my 10 am class. I had a test in that class and it took me all of 10 minutes to finish it. Then I was out the door and back in my apartment, and I decided to make myself some brunch. I chopped up some of the left over pork chops from the night before and then I whisked up some eggs and I cooked them together in a frying pan. Then once they were done I put it all in a bowl and added a little ranch dressing. And let me tell you it was freaking delicious! Once I was finished I was sad because I wanted more! After my brunch I finished packing for the weekend and that didn't take me too long. After that I laid down on my bed and decided to do some reading. I started reading the book by Steve Harvey called Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. So far it is really good and it makes a lot of sense, I'm excited to read more of it. While I was reading I fell asleep and took a little cat nap before having to go to class at 1. Once in class I couldn't pay attention because my professor is so boring! I just played on my phone for the 50 minute class. Thankfully class went by quickly and before I knew it I was on my way home for the weekend. Once I got into town I made my way to Ulta and picked up a few items that I was running low on. Then I made my way home, I got comfortable in my couch and watched some tv before I fell asleep again. I was really tired yesterday and I slept for a few hours before my mom woke me up for dinner. After dinner we watched some movies and then we all went to bed early because I was still exhausted.

Then this morning I woke up early to go to Zumba with my mom at 9. Then after Zumba I took a well-deserved shower and watched The Royals on E! While I waited for my hair to dry. I also ate some pizza for lunch during the show. Then after the show was over around 2 I started getting myself together for the day. I did my hair and makeup and I was all done by 4:30. I made my way back downstairs and watched some Disney movies while I waited for my mom to get home because tonight my parents were celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary and they took me out to dinner with them. Once she got home she changed her clothes and my dad get himself ready as well. Then we all loaded in the car and drove down the road to Yukihana which is a hibachi grill. It was delicious and I stuffed my face and it was totally worth it. After dinner we went to Sweet Frogs because who doesn't like frozen yogurt after Japanese food! Now we are sitting on the couch watching more Disney movies and drinking wine. A great way to end the day!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! I will talk y'all later!

Day Seventy Seven and Seventy Eight: 18 and 19 March 2015

Hey Y’all!

I hope you have had a wonderful Wednesday and Thursday! This week just seems to have flown by, it doesn’t feel like tomorrow is Friday! Summer is another week closer and then I will officially be a senior in college! I’m so excited, I won’t know what to do with myself! Although the end of the semester does signal a few different things for me, school will be over so I will have to start working everyday again, I have to move back in with my parents for the summer, and saddest of all Sarah will be graduating and most likely moving to Wilmington, NC which is 3 hours away from me! So school ending this year will be bittersweet. Enough of that for now and let’s talk about the last two days.

Yesterday, was a fairly boring day… I spent most of my day working on a 5 page paper that was due by 7:30 this morning. I had to watch a 5 part YouTube video and take notes on it so that I would be able to do the paper correctly, and it was a major struggle.  While I was watching part 4 of the videos I fell asleep because I was exhausted and I didn’t wake up until it was time for me to go to work at 3:50. I grabbed my laptop and booked it down the stairs so I wouldn’t be late. While I was at work I finished watching the videos and started typing my paper. Then I worked on it for a few hours before I was off work at 6. Then when I got back to the apartment I made myself some dinner before grabbing a quick shower. After that I spent another few hours working on my paper because I wanted to get it over with. However at 9pm the new episode of Supernatural came on so I took a break to watch that with Sarah. Then after the episode I put my writing cap on and finished my paper by 12:30, however even after I was done I was wide awake so it took me forever to get to sleep. This brings me to today…

This morning when my alarm clock went off, I completely ignored it and kept right on sleeping. Then when I did finally wake up there was no time for me to get myself ready to make it to my first class. So I skipped my first class this morning and I don’t regret my decision. I would have been dead to the world if I had gotten up at 5:45 like I usually do on Thursdays. So I took my time getting ready this morning since I wasn’t going to the first class. I straightened my hair instead of curling it because I wanted to do something a little different then for my makeup I did something more subtle and natural looking. It turned out very pretty, I used a pale white color on my lid and blended a light matte brown on the outer corner before adding a shimmery brown in my crease. It created a very pretty natural look that was perfect for how I was feeling today. By the time I was ready for the day it was time for me to go to class. I went to my other two classes and then I made my way to work where I had nothing to do so I spent 2 hours playing solitaire on my laptop. After work I ran to the store with Sarah so we could get ingredients for dinner tonight. I am going to be making parmesan crusted pork chops with rice and broccoli, I’m really excited about it because this is one of my favorite dishes. Then after dinner we are going to drink some wine and watch some movies since neither of us have any more homework to do! Overall it shall be a very relaxing evening!

Well I’ve got to go and make dinner, I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday!

Day Forty Eight and Forty Nine: 17 and 18 February 2015

Hey There Internet Friends,

The last two days have been so chill, it’s been great! Yesterday was a snow day so all I did was watch Supernatural all day with Sarah. I never even got out of my pjs! We had such a lazy day on the couch and watched so much TV! That’s the reason I didn’t blog yesterday because I didn’t have much to say.

Today however, I have done quite a few things. I went to my 10am class and all of my other classes were cancelled and I was not about to complain. I went to lunch with Sarah and then as we were leaving the cafĂ© our friend caught up with us and asked me to take him to food lion so he could buy steaks for dinner and he said he would buy Sarah and I some too. So I agreed and we went to the store. After that we came back to my apartment and I marinated the steaks with some Worchester sauce and some steak seasoning. Once they were safely in the fridge I got my homework done and then went to work. While at work I watched more Supernatural to pass the time, and then when I got back to my apartment around 6pm I quickly ran to the bathroom to get myself together before the boys came over. It didn’t take long for them to show up and I had to start cooking. I cooked all 6 steaks and the French fries in less than 30 minutes like the little housewife I am meant to be! Then after we all ate dinner I baked a cake because I was bored. While the cake was baking I decided to pick up the apartment because we have inspections tomorrow, and I am not going to fail inspections for some dumb reason. I still have more cleaning to do but I am going to wait until later on tonight when my roommates are back to help me!

The boys that came over tonight were some more of the Fraternity men that I have been meaning to me, and they were very nice and polite and one of them even tried to help me with the dishes before I told him he didn’t have too. It also really helped that they were all really good looking. One in particular I found quite attractive, and he was funny which is always a good sign. Who knows what’s going to happen with that!

Well I’m going to go enjoy a piece of cake with my roommates and clean my apartment some more! I will see y’all later!
