Day Eighty Five and Eighty Six: 26 and 27 March 2015

Hey there everyone!

Thank God It’s Friday, I am in a serious need of some relaxation. I can already tell that I am going to have to take a nap tomorrow… it’s been a tiring week and I’m so glad that it’s over with. Time for some Netflix and a few glasses of wine. Let me start with Thursday…

Oh Thursday, it was the day after my induction ceremony and the stress of the day finally caught up with me. It took me a little while but it finally hit me how hurt I am that my sister literally said nothing to me. She fundamentally ruined my entire day, and at this point I don’t even want her to come to any more of my functions including my graduation. I refuse to let her ruin any more of my special nights. Other than that Thursday was a usual day and I went to class and I went to work. After work was done I spent all of my night studying for a major essay test I had Friday. Literally that is all I did yesterday because I was so stressed over this test. After studying for hours and hours I finally made my way to bed and even then I still didn’t go to sleep and spent a few more hours studying before finally passing out.

Today however, was a very eventful day. The morning went as it always does, and I spent my lunchtime studying for my test. Then at 1pm I sailed through my test with little difficulty and I was on my way home. As soon as I got off the interstate my gas light came on and I pulled into a 7-11 to get some gas for my car. When I got to the pump, I got out of my car and instinctively I locked my door and shut the door. When I did this I locked my phone and my keys inside. Once I realized what happened I wanted to die, so I ran inside to ask if they had a phone I could call my mom to get me the spare key for my car. They gave me a phone to use and I made the call. While I waited for my mom to arrive I walked around the shop and while I was awkwardly standing in an aisle a random guy came up to me. This random guy said hello to me and introduced himself as Eric and asked my name so I told him. Then he asked where I was from and I told him I was from the area, not getting too specific. Then he proceeded to ask me if I was married and sensing that he wouldn’t leave me alone if I said I was single I lied and told him that I was engaged. I didn’t see any other solution, I shoved my hand in my pocket so he wouldn’t be able to see the lack of engagement ring. He then told me that all the pretty ones are always engaged or married. I just smiled and he told me to have a nice day and I told him the same. Not too long after that my mom arrived and saved the day, I got to open my car and pay for my gas. After that whole ordeal was over I made my way home and I have been on my couch ever since because my friend has me hooked on a show that I can watch on Netflix called House of Cards. I’ve watched almost all of season 1 today and I realize that this may be a problem but I don’t care. So far it’s an amazing show, and I’m really enjoying it. However I do think I will being going to bed soon because I have to be up early in the morning for Zumba!!

I hope you all have a wonderful night! And I will talk to you again soon!

Day Eighty Three and Eighty Four: 24 and 25 March 2015

Hello awesome people,

I hope y’all have had a good week so far, sorry I didn’t post last night but I was exhausted and I had a lot of homework that needed to get done! So this post will be about Tuesday and Wednesday, and tomorrow I will post about Thursday and Friday. Without further delay let’s get too it.

Tuesday was a fairly laid back day, I didn’t have any classes because it was advising day here at school. Probably a good thing I didn’t have class or I would’ve been a zombie because I was up really late skyping a very good friend of mine. He and I stayed on the phone/computer/ipad until 6am when we both finally started to pass out. My appointment with my adviser was at 10:30 so I didn’t get as much sleep as I needed but I powered through the lack of sleep. When I got to my appointment I had to wait a little bit because she was meeting with another student. I used that time to talk to her secretary who is a very nice woman and we talked about a variety of topics and she told me about her dad and his love of cake. It was great hearing her stories. After she finished talking about her dad and his love of cake my advisor was ready for me. During my appointment she gave me a list of all of the classes I needed to graduate and I could’ve literally cried right there because she planned out my last two semesters and I only have to take 15 credits my last two semesters. I have been taking 18-20 the last few semesters and I was so excited about only have 5 classes. I thought I was going to have to take more than that and I couldn’t contain my joy, as soon as I left my appointment I had to call my mom and tell her the good news! Once I got off the phone with my mom I made my way back to my apartment and I had only a little bit of time before I had to go to work at 1. So I spent my time hanging out with my roommates, and then I went to work and Sarah joined me and we just hung out and talked for the 2 hours I was stuck at work. Then after work it was time for me to get my homework done. I sat down at my computer and I attempted to do my work but I ended up almost falling asleep on my computer before Sarah woke me up and told me to go to bed and take a nap. I just nodded and propelled myself onto my bed where I collapsed almost immediately and fell asleep for 2 hours. It was a glorious nap and I hadn’t of taken it I’m pretty sure I would’ve died. After my nap I felt much better and I made myself some dinner before taking a nice long hot shower. Once all of that was done I finally got started on my homework. I ended up doing homework for hours, and I even did some during commercials the while I was watching 19 Kids and Counting with Sarah. Thankfully by midnight I was done and I could go back to bed, and it didn’t take long for me to pass out again.

Then on Wednesday I had all of my classes as usual, and I ended up going to a lecture about budgeting and finance that was optional for all students. I learned a lot and hopefully I will remember those things when I graduate from university. After that I made my way to lunch with Sarah and then I went to class. The only different about this Wednesday was that instead of going to work I met my family at Applebee’s for dinner because I was getting inducted into the business honor society at school, and they all came down to watch the ceremony. My family was running late as usual so Sarah and I got to the restaurant way before they did so we ordered ourselves some margaritas and an appetizer and waited for them. We were just finishing our chicken wings when the showed up. It wasn’t just my mom and dad, but my sister her husband and daughter along with my grandmother showed up. It was a lot of people, and my sister as usual was rude to me and we barely spoke to each other. Honestly I have no idea why she even came in the first place. Before everyone was done with dinner I had to head out because I had to be at the venue early because I was being inducted. Sarah saved everyone seats and I got to sit in the front row. The ceremony was fairly quick and we were done with all the recognitions and awards after an hour. There was a small reception afterwards and they had cake and water for those who wanted it. During that time we took pictures and I introduced my mom to my advisor who is also the dean on the business school, and a few of my professors. Overall it was a good event, then after that my family left and Sarah and I went back to our apartment. We made it back with plenty of time before Supernatural was coming on! We watched the new episode while we ate on our left over food from dinner and I refused to do any homework during then. After wards however I still had to work on part one of a big project I’ve been working on. Luckily I got it done and turned in before midnight and then it was bed time because after those two days I was exhausted!

I hope y’all have a great rest of the week!

Day Eighty One and Eighty Two: 22 and 23 March 2015

Hello Wonderful People,

I hope Monday has been treating you well, my day is about halfway over and I can’t wait to go back to my apartment and get snuggled up in my bed. I’m tried and I don’t have class tomorrow so I can sleep all I want in the morning! I will talk more about that in a moment, first let’s talk about yesterday.

Sunday, was an uneventful day. I woke up an hour later than I wanted too, so I was rushed to get ready in time to go to the movies with my mom, dad, and my niece. We had decided late Saturday night that we would go to the movies because I really wanted to see Cinderella and my dad was already taking my niece, Mackenzie, to see it. So I rushed to get myself ready and packed because I was going to be heading back to school after the movie as well. To save time I straightened my hair instead of curling it so I could spend the excess amount of time on my makeup. I did a natural brown smoky eye and I lined my lower lash line with a bright blue eyeshadow in honor of Cinderella. By the time my makeup was done my mom had gotten home and it was time to rush to the movie, I didn’t even get the chance to eat lunch before we left. We got to the movie with more than enough time, and we went to the concession stand to get some drinks and something to eat so none of us would pass out. With mom and I being on diets our options were limited, we decided on large soft pretzels each because they were only 480 calories. Once we got our food and drinks we made our way to the theater and got our seats all the way up in the very last row in the middle. Once seated we got comfortable and waited for the movie to start! Disney had a little short film called Frozen Fever that came on before Cinderella and it was absolutely adorable! I couldn’t handle it, I literally thought I was going to die from cuteness overload. Then after that the movie started, and I was a little girl again for 2 hours. The movie was absolutely amazing, and I was so happy when I walked out of the theater. They did such a good job bringing it to life and I want to see it again! After the movie we went back home and I loaded up my car to head back to school. When I was back in my apartment I unpacked and looked through all of my classes to see if I had homework and of course I did. I had a group presentation due at 1pm on Monday and I quickly emailed my group members and the only one who got back to me was away on a trip with a school organization and wouldn’t be back until at least 2am. I was stuck doing the entire presentation alone and I quickly put something together and turned it in because I wasn’t going to get a bad grade because everyone else was incapable of emailing me back. After that I didn’t have any more homework to do, so I was able to sit back and relax and watch my Sunday night shows which consist of Once Upon A Time, Secrets and Lies, and The Royals. Once my shows were over I got myself ready for bed, and read a book as I slowly fell asleep.

Today I woke up at my usual time and went to all of my classes as usual. Then after class I went to work and I was able to see my friend Courtney who was away all last week and I hadn’t gotten the chance to fill her in on my life so I spent most of my time at working gossiping with her. Then we went to dinner with Sarah, and our other friend Leanne who is also one of my roommates. We spent most of dinner laughing and having a great time, but when I got back to my apartment was when my day got exciting. When I got out of my car I was greeted by a dog who had no owner around. She had a collar on so I knew she belonged to someone, and she was out in the street and I was nervous she would get hurt so I watched over her while we waited for public safety to come and get her to take her to the shelter so her owner could claim her.  She was so sweet and I wanted to keep her. While we waited for public safety we fed her some left over chicken and gave her some water and she just wagged her tail and had a great time with us and then finally she made her way home. I sure hope her owners find her because she was just the sweetest thing. While I watching after her I named her Honey because I needed something to call her and her fur was a golden honey color and it just fit so perfectly. After that I finally got into my apartment and I washed my hands of all of the chicken juice and I proceeded to craft a canvas with one of the quotes from Cinderella on it. It is Cinderella blue and says “Have Courage & Be Kind”, and that is one of the main themes of the movie and if you see it you’ll know what I’m talking about. There wasn’t much to do after that so now I am laying in Sarah’s room and waiting for my friend to Skype me. I don’t have class tomorrow because its advising day so I get to sleep in and I can’t wait since normally on Tuesdays I wake up at 5:45, so tomorrow will be a nice change.

I will fill you in on tomorrow later! I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!

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 Seventy Five and Seventy Six: 16 and 17 March 2015

Top of the Evening to you all! And Happy St. Patty’s Day!

As you may not know I am at least 1/3 Irish so St. Patrick’s Day is always a fun day for me. I love all of the green and watching people get all dressed up and drink way too much green beer is always super fun to see. Plus I hardly ever wear green, but I tell people that if you pinch an Irish person on St. Patrick’s Day then you get punched, and that is exactly what I do. This year however wasn’t as fun as previous years, but I will get to that in a minute.

Yesterday was the first Monday back after Spring Break, and it was a tough day to get through… I had three classes, work, and grocery shopping to do. I started off my morning as I usually do by waking up earlier than my body would like and then making myself look presentable for 2 hours. Between all of the zoning out and playing on my phone it normally takes that long even though it should only take me an hour… So once I was done I made my way to my first class of the day all while texting the guy I really like. I’m not going to go into much detail here because I want it to be kept private for now. After that class was over I came back to my apartment and I messed around on my computer for about an hour before it was time to meet Sarah for lunch like I do every day. We had a good lunch and talked about our plans for later on that evening. Then I had two classes that were extremely boring and I barely paid attention… I know I’m a bad student sometimes… but my grades make up for my lack in attention. After classes I went to work for a few hours and got my homework done so I wouldn’t have to worry about it later. Then once I was done with work I went with Sarah to the grocery store because we were seriously lacking in the food department. I got pizzas, healthy rice meals, some yogurt, sugar, and coffee creamer. Then we managed to bring everything upstairs in one trip, and right before I went to take a shower I popped a pizza into the oven for dinner because I was starving! I took a quick shower and I was done before the pizza was out of the oven! I sliced up the pizza and the devoured about half of it because I had hardly eaten anything all day, then after dinner I curled Sarah’s hair while we watched movies. Overall it wasn’t a bad Monday.

Then there was today, good ole St. Patrick’s Day. Today was a better Tuesday than most because my 8am class was cancelled so I was able to sleep a little later than usual. I had a lot of extra time to get ready this morning and it gave me time to do Sarah’s makeup because today she got inducted into an honor society at school. I was able to slowly get ready and drink my coffee before having to go to my class at 9:30, and today was really warm outside so I was able to wear a short sleeve shirt and sandals! It was really exciting! On my way to my first class of the time I was reminded by my timehop app about what I was doing on this day last year, and it made me sad because this time last year I had an amazing boyfriend and we were going out and celebrating being together for 6 months. It really showed me how much can change in a short amount of time, but it’s alright, everything happens for a reason. After that my classes flew by and before I knew it I was sitting at work playing games on my computer. While at work one of my friends, Courtney, used my computer to create a resume for her and I played on my phone because I nothing else to do. Then 4pm Sarah had her induction ceremony so I made my way across campus to be there for her, because that’s what best friends are for! Once the ceremony was over we hung out with her mom and her grandparents who had also come to the event for a little while before we made our way back to the apartment to have some dinner. Then we did homework and ate our dinner before the rest of our roommates came back to the apartment. Then we watched them play Disney Trivia which was really entertaining, but the best part was when we got out the Harry Potter Scene It game and we played two games and I dominated both of them with no trouble at all. I’m a bit of a Harry Potter nerd so playing that game is a piece of cake for me! Then after that they didn’t want to play with me anymore so Sarah and I settled in to watch 19 Kids and Counting and Our Little Family, which are our normal Tuesday night shows. Once those were over we all got ready for bed because let’s face it after waking up at 5:30 in the morning it’s hard to not fall asleep around 10pm!

I hope y’all have had a great St. Patrick’s Day, and now it’s time for me to go to bed before I pass out in my desk chair!

Thank y’all so much for reading xoxo Lashleigh

Day Seventy Three and Seventy Four: 14 and 15 March 2015

Hello Wonderful People, 

I trust y’all had a wonderful weekend, I know that mine wasn’t too awful. My weekend consisted of watching movies with my mom and dad and coming back to school!

Saturday was a good day, I went to Zumba that morning with my mom and sister. We danced our butts off and then afterwards my sister gave me a homemade power muffin, which was a whole grain oatmeal yogurt blueberry muffin. It was a lot to say but it was really good and it hit the spot after working out for an hour. Then after that I went home and took a well-deserved shower and decided that since I was going back to school the next day I was going to do my laundry. I hadn’t done laundry in a while so I figured that there was no better time then while I was at home. After my shower I gathered all of clothes and made my way downstairs to sort my clothes into different piles. Once they were sorted I started my first load and started up my computer to watch season 10 of Supernatural. And that’s all I did, all day. I got all of my laundry done and finished watching the Supernatural series and now I am all caught up on what’s going on and Sarah told me I can officially join the Supernatural fan club since I have now seen every episode in order. After all of that was done I got hungry and since my mom wasn’t home I cooked dinner for the family, I made grilled chicken quesadillas and they were delicious. After dinner we all sat down on the couch and I had a glass of wine and we watched “The Other Woman” which is my favorite movie right now. Then the guy I like called me and we talked on the phone for 3.5 hours and we laughed and I was so happy and constantly smiling. I made him go to bed because he had to get up for work in the morning or we probably would’ve talked longer. I went to bed shortly after we said our goodbyes, and I had many sweet dreams of him.

Then today I slept in a little because spring break was ending and I didn’t know when I would be able to sleep in again. When I got up I was in an awesome mood so I decided I wanted to go all out on my hair and makeup. I curled my hair like usual and made it all fancy looking. Then for my makeup I did a brown and bronze smoky eye using my Too Faced Cat Eye’s palette. Then once I was ready for the day I packed all of my stuff and brought it all downstairs. By that time my mom and dad were home and we decided to eat dinner early that way I could eat with them since I had to leave around 4 to head back to school. We made sirloin steaks, roasted potatoes, and a salad. It was delicious, and it kept me full for a very long time. After dinner I packed up my car and grabbed some Starbucks before heading down the road to school. After an hour and half long drive I arrived at school in time for one of my friends to walk by and he helped me carry my belongings up the three flights of stairs to my apartment. Once inside I unpacked all of my stuff and hung out with Sarah and PJ, before we watched Once Upon A Time at 8pm. I did some homework afterwards and watched a movie with Sarah to end the night!

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
