Having to catch up with school/life after an amazing mini-break for Creative Estates - I feel like I came back with so many ideas only to have to put them on hold and remind myself I'm a student before I'm a "blogger"...
Getting sick right after and taking over a week to recover {still sick as I type... it's the worst} I find myself pleading with God to make me feel better for finals and I'll be ok with being sick on May 4th hahaha. I'm a negotiator.
I woke up from a 4 hour nap starving. Only to open my fridge and see EVERYTHING was expired. The lettuce was liquifying and browning and I could smell the contents of my fridge- hate when that happens. I quickly shut it and saw that I couldn't have my typical milk and cereal so I settled for "CANcakes" pancakes from a can... It's safe to say that nothing in my fridge is SAFE to eat. The pancakes expired Jan 11, along with the syrup- last year. Did I still eat it? Absolutely? Am I ashamed? Absolutely. Hey, might as well while I'm 'single'.
My birthday is tomorrow and it doesn't feel like it. No party planned...nothing. We usually have a week long of festivities. It's birthday month, now it's hardly birthday week. In fact, Thursday is my busy school day and it'll hardly be birthday DAY! I sound like a brat and I guess I'm growing up... but birthdays were always a HUGE deal growing up... our own individual cake/breakfast first thing in the morning while we opened a gift and listened to the loudest most obnoxious birthday song on cassette.
23rd Birthday at the Bluegrass Festival |
24th Birthday at the most amazing surprise birthday party Ordy threw for me. |
This year I don't even have dinner planned. Oh, sad ol' me. At least I get a car insurance break at 25? There's a high...
Having my Bobo {Gramps} buy me a new iPhone 4 for my birthday... Can't say I'm upset about the upgrade- Hellooooooo FaceTime and clearer pics! I also got the OtterBox to prevent any more fatal accidents. I don't care how bulky it makes my phone, I was sold when the guy said he ran his over and it survived. {Why did I get a white one though??? Spray tan/bronzer rub, ugh, amateur move!}
Spending Sunday with Ordy and his Uncle & his wife. I love them. I love anyone in Ordy's family, but I especially love D&K. They are so cute and I feel like I've known them all my life. We went up there to pick up a 50 foot painting Ordy got. UGH. ok, I exaggerate. It's only 9 feet. Only??
I FINALLY WON THE INTERIOR DECORATING ARGUMENT!!! Let me explain... Ordy has been saying over and over I have to choose ONE room to decorate, he gets the other: Master bedroom or Living Room. Wait, whaaaaa? My bf cares about how to decorate a future room in a future house, that's normal, right?! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to have a bf care about decorations, but I'm thinking we are going to have an interesting future decorating our home...
We made a pact not to buy anymore stuff for our separate homes since we're already going to face a huge challenge combining the two homes... Think Cracker Barrel/ Longhorn's meets Flip Burger and Urban/Girly decor... How will the two live in perfect harmony??! Well. He broke the rule when he bought yet another "man cave" item.
High: This weekend {in front of witnesses} he gave up. He said, "fine. you can decorate the entire house. I get say so on the exterior." FINE BY ME!! WHOO HOO! This is huge, you have no idea how much we struggled with this! HAHA! {he's so scared the whole house will be sterile white lacquered furniture}...
After a text message explaining the rough Monday I was having, I was out on my walk with Bandit when I saw his truck by my car. He was standing outside with these flowers {and yogurt covered pretzels}. I said, "wait a sec... it's not Wed!" His response: "I know but you said you were having a rough day, I figured you could use these"... And that's why he's the best.
Being able to wake up 11 minutes before class, throw on sweats, and still make it on time (or a minute late, technicalities)... The high? Being a commoner, I can do this- and future Princess Kate Middleton can never be seen leaving her
That Quahog is really a word. Feel free to add me and
This blanket turns 25 with me on Thursday. Growing up it was just a given I was a tomboy. More matchbox cars than barbie dolls. I tortured my sister's only baby doll, "baby michelle"... I drew green markered snot boogers in her nostrils, cut her fingers, chopped her hair, and tortured the doll with my male cousin, who was 3 months older than me. I would ditch "doll time" and do tom-boyish things instead... I seriously probably scared my parents when I wore boy clothes up until I turned 15. I didn't even know what make up was until 16/17. You can say my parents have nothing to worry about now... I still hate the color pink. I don't think that will ever change.
Being sick has forced me to stay in and get as much rest as possible. That means I finished this in less than 24 hours... JUST in time for the movie!! Wish I had that passion with Con Law...
Another high: that I have the privilege of calling this sweet boy mine. He is my favorite thing to come home to. I was driving to run errands the other day and thought about losing B when I just started bawling. I mean full-fledge hiccup crying that one day, I will have to say goodbye. I don't ever want to.
It would totally be a high if I won the Epic Letterpress over at Positively Splendid! I met Amy at Creative Estates and she is just the cutest thing ever. I have always LOVED her blog so I was kind of star struck when I met her! We had a letterpress demo at the conference and I'm hooked. I want one of these bad boys bad! The giveaway ends tonight, but I'm hoping I have some birthday luck and win it!!!!!
Interested in guest posting on Ordy & Joon? Let me know!
Too cute! And what a sweet bf! Mine cared about decor too...we still have issues...but I usually win :)! My high of the week was meeting you IRL. Technically it was last week but it counts right?
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, Cancakes?! Why have I never heard of this invention! Those would be so complimentary to my breakfast specialty- frozen waffles! And happy birthday tomorrow! I hope you find a little time to celebrate!

ReplyDeleteand another high for you should be a midnight phone call from me for your birthday... no?
and stop breaking your phones!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow! 25? You're a baby! Wish I could only be 25!! Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteJen
I hope you're feeling better and I'll be thinking about you during all those finals!! YUCK!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy Birthday Joon!! (It's what all the cool people do) hahahaha
Aww, your dog is so cute! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for tomorrow! :)
Happy birthday. Mine sucked worse than yours could ever...don;t even get me started (i am old and it was a milestone...now I am ignoring them).
ReplyDeleteMy hubby cares too much about our decor...he still misses his brown sectional from UCLA days...ick!
Have a wonderful day tomorrow!
You need to tell me your secret -- my bf still thinks he has a say in our home decor. Half the time, I ask him and try to compromise. Or finish quickly when I know he's out for a while. Future man cave - he can have. But houses should look like homes. Not man caves.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your dog is absolutely adorable. I see he likes to pose for the camera. My pup is also a camera whore. But I like it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Hope you had a fantastic day!
