Update- requested by Cindy Loo-hoo :-)

Well apparently i've been slacking on posting- but thats not unusual. So before The Hills and The City start in 27 minutes, I thought i would take the time to update my blog.

Well, since last Tuesday Emily (my roomie) has been in Belgium and Germany. She will return home this Friday evening. I am very excited for her to come home considering...she accidently took the mail key...WHOOPS! I have been waiting patiently for my Halloween costume - ELVIS!!! Great idea by the way. It has fringe, big rhinestones, sunglasses, and a CAPE!!! I am super excited.

This past weekend was quite an adventure- Mel and I hung around Friday night bouncing around from bar to bar- it was a good time but on saturday I was completely lazy- the only thing i did was meet up with a guy - which was a total DUD...oh well.

However, on Sunday when Mel and I went for our mid afternoon beer to watch the football games at the Library - i met a nice fella from Germany. Very cute, intelligent, funny, and well he spoke German pretty well...so we will see if we hang out in the future.

Surprisingly enough - i am beginning to see more and more dates roll around my direction which is really nice - but i am super busy and those boys think they can just call me the night before...Really guys REALLY? Call at least the day before I mean give a girl a break - you think I'm just sitting around waiting for you to call. NOOOOO!! I have friends hello and boys that follow rules calling me (even though the boys calling in advance are a no go for me )

Anyways...something exciting I have yet to post online is.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE!! I got another Tattoo to begin my new fun life and being me again - the tattoo is to new beginnings.

Well gotta jet - chinese food!

Pictures to follow :-)

Realizations from saying goodbye to Mazy The Mazda

Today I said goodbye to Mazy (my Mazda). It was actually a really hard time for me. As I was cleaning out all of the different compartments of my car, i began to realize that tears were rolling down my cheeks. Its hard to believe that such a faithful car that traveled the U.S. with me and how she never disappointed me when I just had to get out of time or even offered a place to stay for the night. I found scissors bought from a trip in some dollar store on my way to Missouri with Cindy before our trek across the nation. I discovered bachlorette playing cards from a wild adventure in Denver for Nikki. Bobby pins, cds, shoes, and tire chains that reminded me of the Donner pass and peoples obsession of glorifying that whole tragedy, memories of crazy fun times with Chris. Saying good bye to this car really made me realize that just certain memories of my life are just memories now and sadly I guess its just time to let go of it...considering those memories are just that- memories. New memories will come and go. Saying good bye is hard by letting go is harder...i guess the new chapter really has begun...I suppose Mazy hung around longer then just the college years and I'm thankful for that...hopefully those memories will hang around for longer yet remind me that with Mazy those times have flown out the window. With a new car approaching and being discovered (hopefully soon) new memories of being spontaneous, blind and unwaivering love, friends, and new risks will arise.

24th birthday and a car accident

My 24th birthday went really well this year! I had a really great time hanging out with the gal pals and just hanging out at the library for Patty Fiasco, who sang happy birthday to me. It was also a lot of fun going to the Naughty Pines Roller Derby. It was such a blast spending the whole weekend just having a great time.



Sadly, I was in a horrible accident this past Thursday. A sixteen year old hit me head on, when she turned left into my lane. I found out on Friday my car is officially dead and pretty much can not be repaired. Sage and I are both okay from the accident. I had a pretty bad neck and back sprain which is finally starting to feel better even though it is still painful. Hopefully i will be posting pictures soon of a new car, from the money her insurance will be paying me...hopefully i won't have to get a second job to make payments.

Secret Admirer

Lately, I have been arriving home from work or waking up early in the morning to find flowers scattered around my car, wondering up the stairs, or monkeys placed by more door.

Curiously, the flowers are either my favorite kind or my favorite color. The monkey was pink. This person obviously knows me and i just want to send a quick thank you-

Wish i could guess who you are :-)

{excuse the picture- some of the flowers are getting old- but this has been going on for weeks- who are you :-)}

Its just not my place anymore

Saturday, August 15th, was Layla and Aidan's third birthday party. Cindy and Kendall certainly went all out this year! The backyard was full of decorations, games for adults, and games for the kids. It seemed like the kids were having the time of their lives! While I had fun playing and watching the kids, the realization of people's pettiness and who my real friends really are (or were) came to me.

Although i knew the situation was going to be awkward before going to the party, I never realized how awkward it was. On top of that- it was hurtful sitting by myself for 2 hours with little interaction from people who i thought were my friends. The little interaction didn't bother me too much until I realized i was being completely ignored by some and was being whispered about.

I am glad to know that I don't have to deal with that drama anymore. It is obvious to me who i can count on and can consider my friend and the rest of them - i just don't care! Sometimes the best way to learn a lesson is the hardest way.

Before i end this rant, i would like to express that certain things in a person's life is no body's business but their own. Second, whispering about a person who is less then five feet away and asking "what is she doing here" or "I can't believe she came" is not only rude but also can be heard. Third, the people whispering should probably shut their own mouths and stop trying to create unnecessary drama. Finally, it is good to see who really is an adult, who is a child, who is a petty drama queen, people's maturity level, and the fact that I am actually glad I know who is a true friend.

I am happy to say - that its just not my place anymore - and truthfully i'm glad I was able to see people for who they really are.
