BY THE WAY

I cannot get this song out of my head! I've been humming it all day. So I thought I would share it with everyone :) ENJOY!

DAY 7

So I just got off a 9 hour shift about an hour ago and my feet are killing me! I'm trying to decide on something that I can do for a couple of hours before we head out tonight so I think I might watch a Disney movie. Yes, I am 20. Yes, I still have a VCR. The other weekend, Kayla and I watched Oliver and Company so tonight, I think I might go with Beauty and the Beast (my all time favorite). Anyways, I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I can't wait for tomorrow so I can catch up on sleep, school work, laundry, cleaning, and relaxing. :)

Day 7:

If only it was Christmas. Then there would be no choice, of course I would watch The Grinch. I might watch it even though it's not Christmas, now that I think of it!

DAY 6

I had my final day of computer training at Macy's today which was not too bad. I start buddy training tomorrow so that should be more exciting! After work today though, I decided to treat myself to a Dark Cherry Mocha Frappuccino yet again (i mentioned how much i love them in this post)! It was very refreshing and I think I actually like it better than the Java Chip Frappucino. Anyways, for today, I'll share with you the lovely picture of my frappucino just hanging out on my dashboard :)

Day 6:

DAY 5

Today was kind of laid back so my picture is going to be boring :) We did go to Your Pie for dinner and then walked around downtown so I guess I could have taken pictures of one of those, but I forgot to take my camera...

Day 5:

These are the books that I've been looking at all day. I had to take book notes for my MIST (management information systems technology) and my Child and Family Development classes and then I also started The Lovely Bones. All in all, it was a productive day for at least school work!

DEAR JOHN AND POLLEN

Yesterday, I finished Dear John. I saw the movie before reading the book because let's face it, when you read the book then see the movie, you will most likely hate the movie. Since this was the first time I saw the movie first, I was actually quite surprised to find out that I really like both of them. One thing I wish the book had include that was in the movie was more parts with John's dad. He was a larger character in the movie and the parts with him were so well done. In the book, he was also very much involved, but it was different from the movie. As for the ending, I think I prefer the ending of the book. It just left the characters in better places. Overall, both were excellent so you should read/watch Dear John!

Now on to pollen. I really dislike pollen. Between classes yesterday, I sat outside to read some and when I left to go to my next class, I put my glasses in my bookbag. When I took them out again, the lenses were covered with pollen. It's ridiculous! Walking to the bus yesterday, you could see the tire tracks in the pollen. The cars are all completely covered with it and everyone is constantly sneezing. Plus, all of the bees are out (especially around the apartment). Hopefully the rain today will wash most of it away. I'm just ready for summer so I don't have to worry about all of this pollen and plus I won't have to worry about school!

Just to show you a little of the pollen, here is the back of my car. You can't really see it well in the picture, but trust me, my black car looks yellow.

PS. I'm going to pick up my Holga pictures today! I'm so excited to see how they turned out!

DAY 4

This picture makes me super excited because I finally have a job! YAY!

Day 4:

It is such a relief that after 4 months of looking for a job I found one at Macy's! I had my first day of training yesterday on the register and it was actually kind of fun. I'm ready for my last day of training tomorrow then working next week!

DAY 3

First off, before I post the picture for today, Sara wrote about my delicious banana bread on her blog! Yay for roomies and good food!

So on to the picture!

Day 3:


I didn't really do anything significant today other than present a case study and meet my mom so I thought I would post the reason why I love to drive down the Loop. Although, driving the truck makes it seem like I'm only going 50. I wonder why you always feel like you're going slower than you actually are in bigger cars...

PS. i took the picture with my phone...which explains the blurriness :)

DAY 2

For today, I decided to make a collage of four pictures.

Day 2:

Clockwise: Max in his "Show me the money!" stance, my new hair cut (no more blond!), Sara snacking on the $2.50 Cap'n Crunch, and Kayla trying to file the super glue off her hand.

As you can see, we all lead very interesting lives! :)

By the way, I took a picture of all of the delicious food we had for Easter yesterday:

DAY 1

As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to start the "Year of Pictures" thing (i dont technically know the name, so ill call it something to that effect).

Day 1:

Easter Bunny Cake!

HAPPY EASTER!

Easter is by far the best holiday.

Going to church on Easter Sunday is something that I really look forward to. The music is always awesome and it never fails that there are people standing up because there aren't enough seats. I love knowing that people come to church on this day because it means something to them. They may not go every Sunday, but at least they do go to celebrate this holiday. The sermon is always good also. Just everything in general on this day makes me happy!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!

BLURBS 2

*So Starbucks has this new drink out: Dark Cherry Mocha. It is DELICIOUS! I have had it 3 times in the past week or so and every time I have it, it gets tastier. I personally like the frappuccino better than the hot coffee, but they are both worth the money.

*We got out Spring clothing money this weekend so Katie and I decided to go to Atlantic Station today. It was so packed, but well worth the waits in the stores. Every store has really good sales going on which means all of the lines were incredibly long. Besides shopping, we ate outside at the Cheesecake Bistro and people watched for quite a while. Instead of getting cheesecake there though, we went to an ice cream shop and got some awesome ice cream: chocolate peanut butter. It was rich and worth the $4. We also decided to bring mom and Weyman back some fudge which was tasty.

*Tomorrow, I decided that I am going to start the 365 day picture deal. Some people on Facebook do it and it seems like a good idea, so to celebrate Easter, I'm going to start that! For those who don't know, it is where you take a picture every day that somehow represents that day. I already have it planned out that the picture that will be taken tomorrow is of the Easter bunny cake that mom and I make.

*Last night, I had a dream that I was in the Harry Potter movie. I wasn't actually in the movie, but I was behind the camera. It was awesome. The part that I was "directing" was a part with Helena Bonham Carter; she is really good as a crazy lady.

*Katie introduced me to a new song today that I really like! It's from Brantley Gilbert's new cd Halfway to Heaven (which is another good song).


*I heard the song today on the radio that was in the skit on SNL with Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze. They were competing to Chippendales dancers and the video is hilarious. If you haven't seen it, go look it up on YouTube. Everyone should watch this video :)

PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES

I am currently anxiously awaiting my first film from the Holga I got for my birthday to be developed. I'm ready to see how the exposure worked with the film and how the pictures turned out! Most of them were taken when Kayla and I went on a walk past our apartments and to be safe (since it was my first time using film), I stuck to mainly nature pictures. Plus the film is black and white so I didn't really have to focus on the colors. I'M SO READY TO GET IT BACK! One day when I was feeling especially artsy, I took some pictures of the railroad tracks by the apartment with my Holga; I also took some with my digital camera.

I don't know why, but I really like this picture. I think it's because the sun in the corner.

I also like this picture because of the angle. I change the tint on this picture to make the colors more prominent and I really like the outcome!
