Website? What website? - Into Jessy's Interwebs

HI!!! :D
It has been forever since I've posted anything on my blog. The past year of my life has consisted of nothing but full-time school, and full-time work, so my blog has taken the back seat for a while. I have great news, I graduated from college!!! YAY!! I am so glad to be done. Hopefully you will be seeing more blog posts now.

I  have all sorts of graduation pics to post, and time to catch up on, but I wanted to do something mindless tonight. I have had part of this post just sitting in my draft folder forever, so I decided I wanted to finish it.

When I go to websites I tend to just start typing in the address in my web browsers address bar. I never include the www, since most web browsers do that for you now. I've noticed that my computer will also automatically populate the website that it thinks I'm going to, based on sites I've visited before. I thought it would be interesting to see what websites I visit most, so I opened a browser, typed one letter, and the following are the websites that auto populated:

A: accounts.maricopa.edu
B: battle.net
C: couch-tuner
D: drive.google.com
E: emedexpert
F: facebook.com
G: gmail.com
H: hulu.com
I: ipsy.com
J: jcpennys.com
K: No Website
L: learn.maricopa.edu
M: mesacc.edu
N: netflix.com
O: onemedicalpassport
P: playmonopoly.us
Q: No Website
R: No Website
S: stream-tv
T: tv-series
U: No Website
V: Random Search Criteria
W: No Website
X: No Website
Y: yahoo.com
Z: No Website

A, L, and M prove that I work too hard.
B proves that I am truly am a geeky gamer girl
E and O are two random medical websites. E is probably not the most reliable website, I was clearly off on some sort of medical search tangent.
J really surprised me...I think I've visited JC Penny's website maybe once, like, forever ago. Obviously I don't visit any other sites that start with the letter J. 
 F, G, H, I, N, and Y  I could've just typed into this form without doing the actual search, they are my "go to" websites. 
There are a few letters that didn't auto populate, one that just returned a search term, and a few that I have edited because they are potentially dangerous sites. Lots of pop-ups, and I'm sure viruses galore. But, but...TV lol

I had fun doing this. It was a complete waste of time, but fun and kinda interesting too. So if you're ever bored and want to do something completely pointless, try this and let me know what auto populates for you.

I'll write again soon, and maybe next time it'll even be something more related to life. lol
Jessy :)

My Latest Obsession...You Know You Want to Know

Those of you who know me well, know that I tend to go a little crazy sometimes. When I fall in love with something, I fall in Looove, and can take it to the extreme. Take nail art for example, or Doctor Who... I mean, who sets goals to own 200 bottles of nail polish (and has 100). Or who goes out and buys all of the Doctor Who memorabilia at Hot Topic? This girl, that's who. Okay, so don't own *Everything* that Hot Topic sells that is Doctor Who related. But I do have a couple coffee mugs, a journal, T-shirts, necklace, key-chains, pens, buttons (which are magnets now), DVD's, my mom made me a bag out of Tardis material, and someone even got me a blanket for Christmas. Also my wallet may, or may not, look like a Tardis. lol

Well, the latest thing that I am in love with is TimeHop - yes, the app. I love that it shows you Facebook and Twitter posts, and pictures from your past. Andy and I got new phones recently, and I think I secretly wanted a new phone just so I could have the TimeHop app. Shhh, don't tell. lol But it was one of the first apps that I downloaded.

I know it's not a bad thing to want to remember moments from your past. But you know it's kinda crazy when you find yourself going back through everything, including blog posts. lol So in light of my slight obsession with TimeHop, I give to you, a few past blog posts. I have chosen to post one from this day (or as close to this day as possible) since I started my blog in 2011. Oddly enough the first two were posted on August 16th. The other two in early October. :)

Random Christmas Thoughts

I feel like blogging today, but I don't really have anything specific to say - so if you don't mind listening to me jabber, we'll all find out what I have on my mind together.

I guess the main thing that I have on my mind right now is Christmas - I think it's on everyone's mind. Andy and I did a bunch of Christmas shopping yesterday, and it was the first time in the 10 years that we've been married where we were able to afford to buy presents for all of our nieces and nephews (there are a LOT of them). It felt really good to be able to shop for those kids. I love shopping for kids. We probably spent way too much money, but Christmas only comes around once a year.

I have also been thinking about my 101 in 1001 list more often lately. My 1001 days is up in February and I don't feel like I've accomplished much on my list. I haven't even done any of the cleaning projects...talk about lazy and procrastination. LOL One of the things on my list was to do the 12 days of Christmas for someone. That probably isn't going to happen, but I was able to buy some items for a family in need. Our department at work is sponsoring a family of 6 so I went and bought some of the items that were on their list. Again, I spent more than I planned to, but you know what? They need it more than I do.

Christmas time is always really hard for me because I live so far away from my family. My mom, my brother, and I are spread across the states, and I miss them - especially at Christmas. We were always very close, so spending the holidays apart is hard on me. I know it's hard on my mom too. If only we lived in a world where teleportation and time travel were possible. I would never be home. LOL

Once my house is completely decorated I plan on taking pics and sharing them with you. (So there's something for you to look forward to...) But my house is not "finished" yet. LOL Hopefully, I'll finish decorating, and wrapping presents today. :)

Well, I could probably keep jabbering for a little while longer, there is always school to talk about, but I'll leave you with my thoughts about Christmas. :)

Welcome To My Brain...

So lately I have been going back through journal entries from the past few years and I found one that I have to share. Simply because it sums up my brain so very well...Here ya go:

"June 13, 2012 -

So tonight I decided to look up how to write a novel. LOL I have this longing to write but I honestly don't know where to begin. I found a page that had some very good ideas about how to form ideas, build your story, build your characters, and figure out a storyline before you even start the rough draft. LOL I think I am going to follow that and see how it works. And of course I wrote down my tagline and then got distracted. I was just sitting here posting on Facebook and looking at the things scattered across my bed: pills bottles, and toothpaste. The toothpaste bottle says Fluoride Toothpaste and it brought back this memory from elementary school where they would make us kids take fluoride. I don't know if they still do that in school but all I remember is that the flavor was usually bubblegum and it was gross! I hope schools don't put kids through that cruel & unusual punishment! LOL

Your Bubblegum floride hater - Jessy"

Couple things...first I know how to start writing now. You just start writing...that's why my journal entries are now 9 pages long instead of 1 1/2.

Two: I have absolutely NO clue why there was toothpaste on my bed, or how I jumped from one topic to the other...Was there something on Facebook that triggered it? I guess I'll never know. LOL

If you journal/blog, do you ever go back and re-read what you wrote? If not, you should - because it's usually hilarious!

Ramblings About Seasons

If you've been following my blog, you might know that I'm taking a personal writing class this semester, and I'm really enjoying it. Personal writing means more time spent writing in my journal. I have been encouraged to just write down all of my thoughts, without removing my pen from the paper, so that is what I've been doing. The following is an entry, or at least part of one, that came out of my writing practice. I was really missing seasons that day, and still am. A high of 92 is NOT acceptable for the end of October.

"I miss the days when I lived in a place with actual seasons. Arizona has two seasons, summer and cooler summer. It is September now and the fall weather would be heading our way. I miss the crisp air in the morning, the pumpkin patches, scarecrows, frost on your windshield, and dew on the morning grass. I miss the smell of apple cider that seems to follow you wherever you go. But most of all, I miss the leaves changing color. They are so beautiful. They change from green to yellow, to red or brown. The crisp crunch under your boots. Fall is a time filled with boots, and scarves, witches and ghouls. I love Halloween with all of its mystery. The dark, chilly nights, jack-o-lanterns, and black cats. I long for those days again. I wish I could capture that, put it in a bottle, and save it for a day when I need it the most.

The endless sun wears on me, don’t get me wrong the sun is great. But only when there is bright green grass, and the smell of watermelon in the air. I long for dreary days. Days with never-ending gray clouds; days that make me long to drink cocoa and bake cookies. The never-ending sun takes away all those desires. I miss the snow and the days where the streets were quiet because every snowflake muffled the air and the sounds. I remember those childhood days well. Sitting over the heater vents, and watching the snow fall quietly to the ground. Those were the peaceful days when you never left the the house because you didn’t want to disturb the beauty."

What's your favorite season, and what do you enjoy most about it?

YAY!!....meh

Good Evening (mwahahaha) - LOL Sorry...Yes, it's gunna be one of those posts. lol So, once again I am procrastinating. I am trying to write my English paper and am having writer's block. For some reason it helps me just to tell someone and for some reason typing my ramblings helps too. It's kinda like my brain has to get everything out, and then I can focus. Go figure. Does anyone else have that? You just have to say what you have to say and then you're good? I started doing entries a while ago where I would just open a word doc and then write to my little heart's content. I found that it really helped clear my brain and so it's something that I do on occasion. How lucky for you, you get to read my ramblings. LOL

Ok, another topic. I guess I titled this YAY!!...meh there was a reason behind that, so I'd guess I'd better explain it eh? I want to talk about my weekend. Yesterday was awesome! Andy has been having to work on the weekends and since I can't drive that means I would be stuck at home all weekend....talk about boring. Well, yesterday was the first Saturday that he's had off in a long time so we spent the day together AND outside of the house. We went and had lunch, went to a movie, walked around the mall, had dinner and went home. It was such a simple day, but so much fun! It was good to just spend time with him. We went and saw The Expendables 2, which was great!! I loved that all of the classic action movie guys (aside from Jackie Chan) were in it. There were so many lines from some of their other movies that snuck up on ya and made it hilarious.Totally fun day!!

And then there is today....meh. Andy is not home, I have to write a paper (note: it is almost 8p), I am tired and need to go to bed at a decent hour tonight. There are definitely other things that I would rather be doing, some that I should be doing but am also avoiding, like laundry and dishes. LOL I am being a good girl and not doing the things that I really want to do, like reading and painting my nails (those will have to wait until after I have written my paper). But I am blogging, which is definitely more preferable over writing a paper.

It's funny, I really want to write this paper. I got to pick the topic and it's something that I'm interested in writing about. I'm going to be doing research on dreams and deja vu, how/if they're connected and then comparing it to the scientific explanation for deja vu. That is something that I have always been curious about and have wanted to learn more, but now that I have to write about deja vu, I don't want to. Ugh...I wish I could get over the "I have to do something, so I don't want to" hurdle that seems to cloud everything that I do. Any suggestions?

I wonder if I've written enough to help my writer's block? You are probably tired of listening to me ramble, so I guess I'll go. Now maybe I can write. All of my thoughts are there, but none of them want to go on paper. /sigh.... Any help as to how I can overcome the "I have to do something, so I don't want to" hurdle would be much appreciated. Also, if you have any insight into my topic I would love to "interview"/talk to you about it. :)

Your crazy, rambling, writer's block buddy,
Jessy <3

Blogger's Block

Ok so I watched this vlog yesterday where the person was having vlogger's block so he just kept talking. It was kinda funny because he had a clown that he was talking to, but he was talking to them about the fact that he didn't have anything to talk about. (How about "Why the heck do you have a clown in your room?") LOL Well, I am really having blogger's block. I really want to blog because I've been missing it, but I can't think of anything interesting to blog about. So, instead I'm going to ramble. LOL Here are some totally random things that have been on my mind lately...

First, I haven't been doing very well with exercising. :( I guess it is true that exercising at home is harder than if you go to a gym or take a class. So, I am going to sign up for the gym at my work. They have this employee incentive that if you work out for 33 hours over the semester they will give you $25. I figure 2 hours a week wouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Plus I would be able to tone, make myself look like I've lost weight (cuz I still don't see the difference in myself) and maybe it will give me a little more confidence. I am also going to be taking English 102 this semester, simply because the instructor was my sub last semester and he was awesome! Thinking about taking a class makes me a little nervous because of all of the partial seizures that I had during English 101 last semester. I am on new meds now so hopefully my meds were the issue and I won't have any partial seizures during this class. We'll find out; in the meantime, I'm trying not to think about it. 

New topic, totally random. I love Spotify and I have really been enjoying the "Singer-Songwriter" radio station lately for three reasons. First, the music awesome. It's a little melancholy but I think the songs are exactly what I have been needing. Second, it is making me broaden my music horizons. There are some songs that come up that I am like "ummmm...dislike aka...skip", but then there are others that I absolutely LOVE! The last reason that I love the new radio feature, is because I don't have to upgrade my account in order to listen to it on my iPod, and I can listen to it as long as I want, unlike Pandora who now gives you a time limit unless you upgrade. That third reason kind of sounds like two reasons doesn't it?! O well. lol

Third random topic. Just so you know why I am letting everyone know when I am skipping to a new topic is because the topics aren't connected in my brain like at all, so I'm sure they're not connected in yours. LOL Anyway, as most of you know, I am in a book club. This month we are reading "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer. I don't know what it is but I can not seem to get into the book club books. So far I have finished all of them and I am very happy with the outcomes and have been so glad to have read the books.  But I just can't seem to get into them until the half way mark and this one is no different. Every time I try to read this book, I fall asleep. This month the book club is meeting at my house, I would be a horrible host if I didn't read "The Host." LOL!! I have two weeks until the meeting so I guess I'd better get reading eh?!

Fourth topic, this one is kind of connected - at least in my brain. I am really getting annoyed with my house. I am so very glad that we've caught up with the kitchen and the living room but now my bedroom is driving me batty. I have to do laundry and I really want to be organized. So the reason it is connected in my brain, is because it something that I SHOULD be doing - rather than just blogging about it. 

I think I have rambled long enough. Now I must get off  this computer, that would include not getting sucked into Pinterest or Facebook (which has been hard lately) and either read or accomplish something in my house!! We'll see how that turns out. LOL

Sincerely yours, even with blogger's block,

Jessy <3

My train of thought...

Note to everyone in the world. I distract easily...

First I was one the phone with my mom and looking up tablets for her. Once we hung up the phone, I checked my email because I figured I was at my computer anyway.

My friend had sent me YouTube video link so of course I had to watch it.

The video that I watched on YouTube reminded me that I wanted to embed the video link into my blog post from earlier today; so I went to blogger and embedded my video.

I saw my camera sitting on my desk and remembered that I wanted to share some pictures on Facebook; so I edited and posted a picture.

While I was editing my picture, I had been remincing about all of the photos and found a video that I had wanted to post; so I edited the video and posted it to YouTube.

I went to go and share the video on Facebook and saw that I had comments about the picture that I had just posted; so I read and replied to them.

After all of this I looked back and realized just how easily I get distracted so I wanted to post a Facebook status about it.

I started the Facebook status and realized that it was going to be WAY too long for a status; so I went to Blogger and decided to blog about it instead..... LOL

As I am finishing this blog post I realize that I have 4 tabs open on my internet browser, YouTube, Gmail, Blogger and Facebook. Facebook has 4 notifications so OF course I'm going to have to check them when I am done blogging.

When I am done blogging I am going to have to Tweet the post out to all of my peeps, just for kicks...

Now I have to ask myself, What was I Supposed to be doing right now?! Oh, that's right...LAUNDRY!!!! LMAO

Your, super, super, easily distracted blogger,
Jessy <3

PS My also need to do dishes for my hubby so he can cook when he comes home in oh a half hour...Oops!

Oh and btw, I never posted the video to Facebook....LOL

Meh...Scattered Thoughts

You ever had one of those days when you just don't want to do anything?! That has been me lately. Like, I don't even really want to blog, but I feel like I just need to write. So, here is one of my infamous scattered posts, that is about absolutely nothing.

Things that I did today, and random thoughts:

I Skyped with my mom; we played Farkle on Facebook.

I didn't drink all of my coffee and probably should have.

I sorted laundry and put one load in but never got around to switching it over OR putting in another load.

I painted my nails for the 4th of July - their all patriotic and everything. That was fun! However, I think I am coming down off of a nail polish high.

I have a book that I should be reading for my book club but I'm only on chapter 7 and haven't felt like reading today.

I have been listening to Alex Goot on my Spotify channel all day.

I have been on YouTube looking for a karaoke track for one of Alex's songs - Living Addiction.

I tried to make a karaoke track myself with audacity and failed. If anyone knows of an instrumental track of Alex's song Living Addiction, I would really like one.

I am so ready to go to California and spend time with my mom.  I want to spend whole days just laying on the beach.

What else...I didn't eat anything until like 8pm tonight.

I have been home all by myself all day. It's funny, there's just something about being home alone that just makes life seem more boring.

I am now having second thoughts about posting this post so if anyone sees it, it will be a miracle.

Hmmmm, I think that is about it. I still don't feel any better. Writing out my thoughts usually makes me feel better; I guess it doesn't today.

What do you do when you feel "Meh..."?  Does anything make you feel better?

Now I am drawing little hearts...YAY for taking pictures of more hearts for my 101 challenge eh?!

Your bored beyond belief blogger,
Jessy <3

Surprise!!! :)

It's a POST!!!! First of all, I apologize in advance...this is going to be scattered. - you have been warned. I don't know what it is about tonight but I feel very wired!! I feel like I could talk a hundred miles a minute, soooooo maybe I'll just type that way... LOL I can't explain the mood, I don't know if it's because it's my Friday and I have a 3 day weekend, or because of the fact that I just spent an hour listening to Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Katy Perry and some other artists that just plain Rock!  It could be the acoustics in my living room, I love singing in there it sounds so cool - I feel like a rock star!! ;) LOL ooOOoooo or it might be the fact that I really feel like going to the pool tomorrow and working my tan - which at the moment is nonexistent. LOL Note: Blogger does not know how to spell nonexistent...or maybe I just don't. It kept giving me resistant. lol Weird.

So it's after 9pm and I haven't eaten dinner yet, I keep trying to decide what to have. So far I have come up with possibly having blueberry waffles or having Strawberry Revel ice cream (vanilla ice cream w/Strawberry like thick syrupy stuff in it). Ice cream for dinner rocks! (Man everything just rocks tonight doesn't it?!) OOooooo I know, I'll have BOTH!! Blueberries and Strawberries go together right?! LOL

Now I have a final decision to make, read, waste more time on Facebook, waste time on Pinterest, write something - like a creative writing prompt something - or Ohh idk...there are lots of things. Too many things...my nails are painted and pretty so I'm not going to paint my nails. I really feel like getting out of the house and singing karaoke...lol Or I could go do relaxing yoga to try and calm down for the night but what fun would that be?! LOL

Thank you for listening to my scattered thoughts...LOL I warned you in the very beginning, I think my first blog post was even about that right?! Ahhhh the memories....my 1 year blogiversary is coming up in July...Maybe I'll have to do something really fun for that!! ;)

Until Next Time
     Jessy <3

Currently in March...uh April

Okay, so yes I have had this list for about a month now. And the only reason I am posting on this one is because I went to Dig Deeper Design's blog and couldn't find one for "Currently in April". lol  So here's my Currently in March...uh April post!! (I'll add a link-up box below if my fellow bloggers want to join in the fun! I'd love to see yours.)

I must admit when I first looked at this list I thought it was a little daunting (that is part of the reason I have had it in my "Drafts" for over a month). I didn't think I was currently doing that many things. My life seems to feel a little boring sometimes. Gotta love it!!! >.< /sigh... There have been a few things on this list that I was like, "I have no clue - skipping that one for now..." lol But overall, they've been pretty easy AND fun to come up with too! ;) Plus I've even added a few of my own!

Currently Counting Down To: The end of the semester. I can't wait for my English class to be OVER!!! My teacher drives me a little batty.

Currently Super Proud: Of my husband. He is in school, going after his dream of being a chef and having his own business someday. Yes, it is a little hard on me, since I've been stuck at home alone most nights, and we are broke so we really go out on the weekends. But none the less, I am proud of him and I would rather see him happy and enjoying himself than stuck in a job that he hates.

Currently Broadening: My nail art horizons! ;)

Currently Thinking: Of new nail designs

Currently Reading: The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss....among other books too...see below

Currently Concluding: That I am a person that can't finish books. My "Currently-Reading" bookshelf on Good Reads keeps growing, but I have very few books on my "Read" bookshelf.

Currently Realizing: That I haven't read enough of Dr. Seuss' books!! All three of the first stories that have been covered in The Gospel According to Dr. Seuss I've never read. Fail Jessica....Utterly. Epic. Fail!

Currently Thinking: I can't believe it's already hit 100 degrees and it's only April!!

Currently Saving All My Pennies For: Pennies?! What pennies?! LOL

Currently Wanting To Travel To: Kansas, Georgia, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah...I have people that I miss!!!

Currently Wanting In My Cupboard:Cookies and lots of them!

Currently Wanting To Learn: Spanish, well maybe not wanting more like needing to learn Spanish.

Currently Wanting To Make: My own "Franken-polish". A nail polish made out of different colors.

Currently Drooling Over: You guess it...Nail Polish - there are so many colors and I want them ALL!!!

Currently Confessing: That I am very tempted to watch Gossip Girl all weekend instead of working on my research paper. However, the research paper is due next Wednesday, so I'd better do that first.

Currently Trying to Decide: What I want to be when I "grow-up." I keep thinking it would be kind of fun to teach - little kids ONLY!! Like Kindergarten...lol 

Currently Listening To: Hmmmm, It's been a lot of Adele. She is still my love and inspiration - maybe one day I'll be like her, confident and not ashamed.

Currently Obsessed With: My iPod...I practically never let it leave my side lol

Currently 1st Place Comedic Genius: New Girl

Currently 2nd Place Comedic Genius: The Big Bang Theory

Currently Addicted To: TV, I never thought I would say that...lol But now I have to watch Gossip Girl, Glee, New Girl AND of course The Vampire Diaries every week. I have no DVR and yet I watch most of them when they first air (what does that tell ya). Plus I have been watching re-runs of The Big Bang Theory, Oh the madness - it never ends!!

Currently Fantasizing About: Fitting into a size 16 dress. Yes, I have one and I can put it on - but it's REALLY tight. I have lost 20lbs over the past couple months tho, so maybe someday, I'll be able to wear that dress. Until then, it will remain in my closet.

Currently Waiting For: Mail - like real live letters and packages. I am waiting for my mom to send me stuff so she can teach me to cross-stitch. :) I love Skype!

Currently Sad Because: I miss TOO many people!!

Currently My Motto: Remember to Breathe!!

Currently Dreaming Of: Being famous on you-tube. Too bad I'm not very confident, scared to death of talking to an audience (even if it's just to a camera), and definitely anxious about posting videos for the whole world to see.

Currently Needing To Update: My blog...hence the blog post!!

Currently Yearning For: Fruit Smoothies - or fruit in general

Currently Want To See In My Closet: Cute, new flip flops - it is that time again!! Mine are getting worn out!

Currently Enjoying: My vanilla coffee from Seattle's Best! mmmmmm <3

Currently Have A Girl Crush On: Zoey Deschanel. She is on New Girl and her character is just so cute and spunky. Her character's name is Jess so I relate to her simply by name. But I would love to be completely random like she is in the show. So maybe I have a girl crush on her character. lol

Currently Shopping: No shopping lately :(

Blogging Instead of Homework, YAY!!!

Well I have decided that the first draft of my paper is not worth all of stress of cramming. I have one gimme assignment for my class and this paper is going to be it. I need to get some input from my classmates and maybe my teacher too.

My teacher made a point to mention that this paper shouldn't be a narrative and now my brain can't think about anything else. I have this block that says "now don't write in a narrative format...". Maybe helping someone else evaluate their paper tonight will help me decide which direction to take.

Today has been an interesting day. I have felt very scattered. It's almost like my brain is off in a land far, far away...maybe it is!! That explains it all!!! Is it too early for me to already be ready for Spring Break?!

Oh, I just had a thought... I know why today has been weird, it is a leap day!! Wow..the leap day has affected my brain in interesting ways! Mainly I have been forgetting simple things. Things that I shouldn't be forgetting. Needless to say, I've had quite a few "duh" moments. lol Or would those be blonde moments?! LOL Maybe a little bit of both.

Well I have rambled on long enough...and I have to get to class. Wish me luck! ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

WOW has it really been that long since I've blogged?! Sorry guys I will honestly try to blog more. I have been spending the past few weekends with my friend Julie cuz she is moving away. But now I am just making excuses...lol Well, tonight I told myself, "I'm at my computer I'd better blog" cuz you miss me and I miss you too. LOL Anyway, I swagbuck searched "Blogger" and, as a bonus, I got 33 Swagbucks!!! Woo Hoo!! Now I get to write a rambling blog post AND I got 33 Swagbucks, how awesome is that?!?!?!! LOL

I do want to share the card that my hubby got me for our Valentineaversary (wow a new word - hope ya'll can read it! lol) Yes, that does mean that today is also our Anniversary, 8 years - I can't believe it! It's a really cute card and it came in a very, very, Very big envelope! LOL

 

 He also got me another card that was equally big but so very sweet, it almost made me cry. I hope everyone had a great Valentine's day. Whether you have someone special or not you guys mean the world to me. For those who have someone special but may be apart from them today just remember that doesn't matter if you are near or far that someone special loves you.

I get to spend one more weekend with Julie and then I promise to blog more. I really do miss blogging. I know who would'a thought Miss "Doesn't have anything to blog about" would miss blogging. But I do. So until then keep being awesome!! I'll be back... ;) (You so know you just read that in the Terminator voice...I know I said it that way as I wrote it...lol)

O How I Miss You!!

So it turns out that even though I have a blogger app with me at all times, I still can't seem to blog. School starts up this week for our college which means last week was crazy busy plus I am still not feeling up to par. So by the time I got home last week I really didn't want to do anything except veg. Since I got my iPod Touch I have been watching more Netflix. I love that I can just lay down, plug my iPod into it's little speaker dock and watch whatever I want! During the week or so before my birthday I watched all of the Vampire Diaries again. I really do love that show! And now I have started watching Glee. :) I must say, I am really liking it! Maybe not the drama so much (however I think that is growing on me too) but I LOVE the music!! Once I'm done with Glee, I am going to move onto One Tree Hill and maybe a few others. My friend Jill likes those and I've never watched them, so I'll give them a try too and broaden my horizons! ;)

All that being said, I do miss blogging. I love that I can just come on here to express myself  and have a few people listen. I really am going to try and log on here more. Julie always has these fun link ups that I want to do and I am just going to do them!! :) Hopefully you will see more of me soon! My hubby and I do start class this week, which means my nights are going to be free but it also means that I'm taking the bus home. So we'll see how much energy I have by the end of the day. lol :)
 

Scattered Moment of the Day

Ok, so here is today's scattered moment. I just posted on my Facebook that I was updating my Linked In account. Well when I looked back up at my open tabs I realized that my blog was open. I was like "O yeah I was writing a blog post" then it hit me. How on earth did I get from writing a blog post to updating my Linked In account?!

I clicked back into my blog and realized that in my last post I was talking about Klout. Well, here is what happened. I saw Klout in my post and thought , "O I haven't checked in on Klout in a few days, I wonder what my score is today" *clicks link to Klout*  My score was 48, woo hoo!! Then I saw all the different webpages that Klout uses to evaluate your Klout Score, one of them is Linked In. Well, that reminded me that I had connection requests in Linked In that I hadn't accepted so I opened a new tab and went to Linked In, accepted my requests and then started editing my account.

O boy....I am such a classic case of "Spaghetti"!! I will have to tell you about the difference between "Waffles" and "Spaghetti" another day. ;)

Scatter-Brained...

I have tried a few different times to start a blog and have always thought that my life just isn't interesting enough to have a blog dedicated to it. LOL Well, I have decided that my life doesn't have to be really interesting in order for me to have a blog. All I have to do is live and breathe and have thoughts and the blog posts will come. So this blog will hopefully become a snapshot of who I am. What makes me tick, what makes my heart all a flutter, what frustrates the heck out of me, what my heart longs for in the future and what makes me love the life that I have now.

Fact 1 about me, I am somewhat scattered. I am a typical woman so my mind can easily go from one topic to another totally random and opposite topic in two seconds flat. I love all sorts of things and can't ever seem to stay focused on a single leisurely project at once. For instance, I have been married 7 years and still haven't finished scrap-booking my wedding pictures. Yes, I know it's bad but it will get done, someday. I always have at least 3 internet tabs open at once and sometimes A LOT more than that, and there is Always music playing. If there isn't music, it's because I'm so engulfed in what I am doing that I forgot to turn it on. LOL

So, in saying all of that, if this blog is to be truly mine, then it will be the same way that I am...Scattered. I wouldn't expect any of my posts to have any sort of common theme or any rhyme or reason. Be prepared to see all the different sides of me, the good, the bad and the frustrated!! LOL My hubby said that my tagline for my blog should be "Life, Food and Makeup" and that would about sum it up. So here's to the first of hopefully many, many blog posts in the future.
