Thoughts Rollin Around

This is the adorable Ginger!

She is one of two dogs I am currently house sitting for. She has been a doll this entire week. She comes when I call, follows me like a good little shadow puppy does. She naps, plays and is a happy girl!

Until last night. Or should I say until 1am this morning, when Ginger apparently decided.. she hates me!

She barked non stop for four hours. I took her outside in the first five min of said barking thinking she simply needed to take care of business.

Nope!

Then I thought I'd put her in the "play pin" she stays in when I am at work.. maybe she just wanted to be out and play?

Nope!

Bark bark bark. Yip yip yip.

Then I thought.. perhaps she just wants to be near me?

silly silly mighty burns.. this was far from the truth. When she wasn't clawing at me, biting my fingers and toes, she was...

yup.

Barking...non.stop.

Oh don't get me wrong she also managed to chew on some of my clothes and shoes too!

This is why I now HATE Ginger.

Ok I don't hate her.. she has too cute a {slightly resembling an old mans face} face for a puppy. But I am very very disappointed in her. I also realized I could never have a child without help from someone.

I watched the end of Season Six of Grey's Anatomy the other night.

 And then I couldn't sleep. Because what kind of sick f'ed up stuff is that episode(s) all about! My goodness gracious! Give me a heart attack why don't you?! I mean I was sobbing crying. I turned lights on.

 I paced around with anxiety...to say I am involved in my shows is quite the understatement! I felt sick...and sad...and nervous..jittery...and felt like I wanted to call everyone that I love!

Thank goodness that part is over ;) now I am onto hunting down episodes of Season Seven!!

**~**

The other day when I described the burnt orange button up and lace mini skirt.. dude.. this is pretty much it!

I found it here who got it from here

So I have been thinking...who not wear dresses all of the time?

@

I think yes!

@

How pretty are these dresses paired with the colors leggings? Ummm LOVE it!

Also why can't I wear wedding dresses more casually? Is it really terribly vain to tell you that I HAVE tried them on.. and I am in fact NOT getting married..and I thought "Damn I look good in white?!"

Cuz I did.... and I do :/

It's a shame..thats all I'm sayin.

@

Like how cute would this be to wear to dinner with the girls? Or a Tea Party?

It's the dream!

However, this...

@

...is probably closer to what the reality of that dream would be. A bunch of chicks dressed up in their Wedding bliss best drinking beers and eating popcorn..

Who needs tea anyways?

(I like that Monica is wearing black socks with her dress bahaha!)

As always I have been swept away with picture of flowers...

Isn't this the perfect combination of oranges blues and whites? If you haven't already you should head over to An Apple A Days blog because it is always BEAUTIFUL!

Also she has a new site! yahoo!

Ok So when I get married {fingers crossed and all that} I would LOVE for Amy to do the flowers for the event. I love these colors so much! I love that everything is classic, romantic, and wild all at the same time, yet totally unified and cohesive in the arrangements. ugh. Perfection! I drool over this woman's work. She is a master at what she does {florist crush much}

Ok I am done gushing for today... p.s. do you have any idea how long it has been since I have received flowers? Too long dang it! Whats up with that ;)

A Meditation on a collection of stupid words

"You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me,

You, have knocked me off my feet again,

Got me feeling like I’m nothing...."

Oh yes Taylor Swift, you are wise.

Mean people suck.

from

However, ignorant mean people are some other kind of ugly beast in this world.

Eck. It is the rotten luck of myself and my housemates to now be sharing our house -o- awesomeness with one of these very monsters.

We call this monster Tim. For real. That's his name. Tim...ass hat. No. Name calling is bad..it keeps the ugly monster alive...

"...I bet you got pushed around,

Somebody made you cold,

But the cycle ends right now,

You can’t lead me down that road,

You don’t know, what you don’t know..."

I am a pretty understanding person. I have been told for years and years that this is true. Teachers, coaches, parents, strangers, friends, family... I have been told. But what I do not understand is any kind of racism or sexism.. or any other ism. just don't. stop right there. cant deal with it. cant hear you out when you are using such hateful words. this is not communication. if you truley stand behind your behavior and your opinion then lets discuss it like adults shall we? You know in calm "inside" voices.. with give in take. moments where I listen and moments when YOU listen.

But hateful shouting and.. ahem! spitting.. is just really not the adult way to go about it. I feel i have earned this adult badge i now sport on my 24year old self daily.

Translation: The monster roommate Tim yelled some very hateful and misguided things at me Tuesday night (what a Greys Anatomy buzz kill right!) There was plenty to be happy about! Greys was on!... a giant Haboob {means dust storm} was headed to town {pictures below}!! I had one last drumstick left!!! But  this happy feeling did not last. Apparently the Tim was upset that I was "gloomy" {his word not mine.. I don't say gloomy.. I don't think?}on the 4th of July. lol This is just silly people. A recount of everything that happened would be... mmmm a waste of time to play out here on my blog, home home away from home for my thoughts {home meaning my head of course} and this is my happy place. So fuck that!

I did however need to flex my venting muscle and get a few of those little thoughts OUT of my home home {my mind} so that I don't have to spend one more min thinking about it.. why?  because....

"...Someday, I’ll be, living in a big old city,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.

Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?"

whats to come? its only up hill from here folks.. because I have found GREYS!!!!

Christina.

Funny

To the point

Baller AND Shot Caller

By far my favorite!

Little houses made of ticky tacky

Soooo I have sorta kinda, most defiantly been eating large amounts of ice cream Drumsticks {it's 115 degrees here} and watching episode after episode of Weeds. I could count all the ways I love Weeds, but I fear that would be fun for no one but me. So I shant.

lol truthfact!

also I tried. I tried to stay away peeps. but the JGL just keeps poping into my top five people I'm going to need to meet...

so I am feeling a little sluggish with the trip story telling. so here is how today and Thursday {last of the vacay posts} shall go. Picture picture picture, and explaining any funny business thrown in the mix :)

Downtown books store. i really really love the smell of these books. or maybe its just the dust collecting on them. i was sneezing a LOT... either way  i may have defiantly been caught sniffing a few.. oops! you only live once right?

aww yes the mirror shot. this was taken at the bridal luncheon where we were introduced/reunited with the other girls in the bridal party. of all. of. them. dolls! absolute sweetest girls!

oh yeah! I went wandering around as I do and found some lovely hanker chiefs, link change purses and these beautiful earrings that I ended up buying because they fit right into the vintage costume jewelery that my great great grandmother had {and is now kept in a pretty frilly jewelry box of my mothers}

mmm this is a shot from upstairs of the store LuLus that is all big now on the internet. It grew up right there in Chicos downtown. There is still a store there that is essentially still the same thing and merchandise, but it's called something else. whatev.

ok world meet the MOH2 {yep both sisters played the role of MOH} She has grown up to be quiet the little woman. Confidence for days, jokster, and adoring younger sister. She was a freaking blast to be around the entire time and gave a BEAUTIFUL speech on the big day. As one little sister who looks up to MY own big sisters I knew just what she was talking about, and could relate to so many of the beautiful things she said.

White Ranch

Today feels like a trick. there are clouds out, and I can see the leaves flowing in a breeze, but when you go outside it feels like a hairblower is set on low, and I am not sure you can count that as a breeze. yuck.

I am slowly starting to plan a Fourth Of July cake for a friend.. what to do WHAT TO DO!

also there is a girl at work that is like... OHHHHH MAN annoying. she laughs at EVERYthing that I say. Surly I am not funny 100% of the time common now.

And then I think.. what kind of mean biotch am I that I am annoyed by someone who laughs and giggles at things I say..???

time to be grateful and take another glance at the beautiful photos from my trip and relax again :)

ELLOoo!

thanks to my bombtastic iPhone

 SPRING IS HERE!!

and in Az it will only last a week so look alive people!!

This weekend is going to be packed with funness.. yes.. fun..ness.

First of all each morning I wake up to these beautiful flowers I bought for meself makes me oh so happy! That's step one of course

the rest of the steps I hope will fall into place as I bake (more? I know!)

 hold babies,

get some moola,

await my license (yes finally stopped being a chicken shit and sent in for it)

plans birthday surprises ;)

redecorate

plan my escape

and slumber in fresh sheets while I catch up on my Bewicthed NetFlix arrivals.

Yeah about that.

I am suddenly (ok not so sudden but more than usual) obsessed with black and white tv.

it started with Seasons one and two of I Love Lucy.. which did me proud.. but you start to kinda get the point after the second season not that it ever stopped me from laughing so loud I woke up my sleeping cat.

But now I am onto NetFlixing Bewitched and I LOVE it. Although I am sad for the poor woman across the street.. oh Ms. Abbott will you always think your nuts?

I am also finding the way the marriages used to work back then appealing. Don't get me wrong I am all about the r.e.s.p.e.c.t, and equal partnerships. But there was something about it that was just.. simple. and nice. like.. I'd love to stay home clean like the dickens make a BOMB meal and by dresses, and serve on "Woman's committees" what the hell did they do on those? I don't know but I think I would give them a run for their money is all I am sayin.

Yeah I know.. fun for a week.. maybe a month. But then I'd get bored.. and more like Lucy and cause a fuss about any 'ol thing..

ALSO

I have been so busy its down right wrong at this point. I have heard myself say "sure why not" more than I'd care to in any span of time.

Which results in more sloppy hair days..

Exhibit A:

but also I need to messy to hide the GRAY! Yes I have found FOUR more Silver hairs this week.. I think its my work giving them to me.. BLAST YOU! Can my hair coloring be a workmans comp kinda deal? please?

Exhibit B:

Alright peeps expect mucho baking posts on Sunday.. or Monday.. like late Monday.. hey man just trying to keep it real

(And one more thing: I am about half way thru the blogs I need to read up on WOOOOW there was a lot I missed and took me a good three hours to catch up on the first half.. why are there so many interesting and hilarious cant miss posts out there! Slack off guys your killing me!)

;)

"If you can't be with the one you love

then love the one you are with."  Make it easy right?? right? lol I am trying to apply this to work right now...

I believe the first steps to doing just that is watching massive amounts of  The Office at night.. I have already started to mumble "That's What She Said" jokes to myself during the day at a dangerous rate...

But now I've started to look up at lobby and make the Jim smiley "wow" face...

Then I realize that

a) there isn't a camera crew watching me

b) I really want to watch another episode

Also I love Jim so much! Lady Office watchers am I right? I just watched the wedding episode and cried throughout the entire thing.

They decide on the way to the wedding to make sure they take mental pictures of the high points so they don't miss anything...

Jim cutting off his tie to make Pam feel better about her torn vail.. yeah..

...tears.

I think my obsession is pretty normal though I mean a lot of people love this show right? And watch like.. half a season a night right? Bonus: Mamba also loves to watch The Office so it's our QCT (quality cuddle time). I am gone for many hours during the day and often crash out when I get home, and am gone on weekends.. poor kitty cat. Her favorite? Dwight. I think it is all the flailing hand movements?

I love Michael. He makes me very anxious sometimes to watch. and to listen to. and to think about.

But mostly he makes me laugh.. and shake my head and thank my lucky stars that my boss isn't like this.

quality.

Bahhaha

You know how when you get into an argument or faced with a conflict and then later you think back and think "DANG I should have said {really awesome line}"

Well no more! This is my new line for that very instance.

Problem? Solved!

I didn't make a cake last night. Instead I ate five mini cinnamon rolls and watched Maverick.

HA! Take that carbs I own your ass!

Here is where some fun quotes are :)

 Baby of the Family~Making it easy  (thats what she said.)

Everyone say good bye to Ted.

 On Saturday night I was invited to his place for dinner and a movie. It was POURING down rain that night!

 Now I don't know how many of you watch How I Met Your Mother, let alone memorize it like *cough* I seem to have. But "Ted" and I had a conversation that went something like this:

    walking into the store with him doing my best to avoid puddles...

 Me: "Ok if I fall minimal laughter please!"

Ted: "Well here hold onto my arm so you don't."

M: "Aw thank you"

T: "Don't thank me it was my plan all along"

M: "...?...the rain?"

    seriously pleased with the way he is about to take this ...

T: "Yeah I made sure it would be raining so you'd have to get close"

   seriously a little weirded out by where this is going...

M: "I'm sorry you made it rain? Is that what your saying here?"

T: "Yeah I did a little rain dance and everything earlier"

M: Smiling because this flashes in my mind...

*

Yeah.. he is Ted What The?

He told me he started to watch HIMYM and he really liked it.. but DIDNT LIKE TED! I can't make this stuff up people. I choked on my ranch soaked lettuce and thought about telling him I kinnnnnnda think he IS Ted.. but then I thought surely this is against some kind of tv/reality paradox rule.. right? 

Anyway he later spent time going into detail about how he has fallen for me, and is ok with moving to New York with me if that's what it takes... so as nicely as I could I explained that this was too fast, I was not on the same page emotionally, and although I am having a nice time it is going pretty fast, and the NY offer is a lot of pressure! (Reminder.. this was our FOURTH date people) I explained that if I just went along with it from here on out knowing how he feels and knowing I don't feel the same, I would be leading him on, and it just isn't fair to either of us, and that we should end this now before anyone got hurt.

Don't get me wrong this was a great little set up. A nice guy getting me thoughtful gifts, making dinners for me, thinking I'm the sun and the moon..and tells me just about every hour.. sure. But to be honest I don't like to feel put on any pedestal, and I don't think it is right to just go along with and let someone continue to treat you like that if (one) you don't like to be even if it is nice and (two) if you aren't going to be returning any favors.

I was able to make him agree we weren't in the same place or a good match... he was sad and walked to me my car when I left.

But I left my earrings there! Balls! ugh I have done this before.. freaking A.

I got them back.. they are my favorite pair, and he decided to use them as leverage to talk more..

"ugh" with me people. (Shaking-which made me feel awful) He gave me one earring back at a time in my drive way last night, but then just bailed and didn't want to talk anymore? Whatev. I went back inside and was then bombarded with a short novel worth of texts (the first one of course proclaiming how I wouldn't have to worry about hearing from him anymore) and that he was glad this was so easy for me-ouch man common geez

So.. back to the 'ol drawing board gals

In other obsessive news check these out!

For the life of me I can NOT remember where I was looking at these last week. Boo.. if you recognize them or know where let me know.. let us all know :)

I Actually Cried

Yes I cried while watching this not because it is Glee.. common now. But because I love that I live in a world where someone decided that we all needed a little more fun...and at very random times and places... the "Flash Mob"! People have done an awesome job all over the world keeping it up. And to look at the faces of the people watching is so awesome to me. Everyone gets so excited to be seeing it!To be apart of it, to be surprised by it. And maybe inspired by it. Making people so happy through something so simple, and just flat out silly during an otherwise run of the mill day..
 I love flash mobs...



~Baby of the Family... look out, she flashes!

Ted/Ross Ratio

The Ted Update

Yes I have taken to calling the "new guy" "Ted" for his ted like tendencies.

The thing is in the spirit of "Never say Never" I am not setting a limit on how a relationship can develop. BUT in the spirit of "Lets be Real" I am taking them super slow, one day and date at a time, and keeping it as casual as I can to enjoy someones company.

This makes me a bit of a Robyn.. but hopefully with better hair... at east when I go out that is.

I don't know girl there is a line in a movie (Victoria Christina Barcelona where Penelope Cruz tells Scarlett Johanson that she is chronically unsatisfied) I am a little afraid I have that too...

It seems I am the Goldy Locks of the dating world. I know what I want but when I find those qualities or similar goals in another person, it seems to be to an extreme... Too Hot or Too Cold... ugh Common where is the "Just Right"? Where you at yo?

I am not sad about it actually.. nor am I stressing that I wont meet anyone. I don't feel doom in my dating world.. I am actually really happy to do many things on my own, and have had a blast in the past doing just that.

 But it is getting a little old. And when you achieve a goal or see a sight that is beautiful.. it is nice to be able to glance over at another person and smile in confirmation that "Yes, this is awesome".

I don't like being a Goldy Locks though.. or a Robyn. I feel judgie...

its a really good thing I haven't in the least lost the ability to continue to laugh it off and move forward, hopefully it is in the direction of that thing that will finally settle me and I find some peace in who I am with, where I am and what I do..

Hope you all find some peace with your loved ones this Valentines Day weekend!

Stay tuned for another Date Update :)
