MIA

I do not even know where to start. First off, I have been completely and totally MIA for approx like 325235 weeks. Except not. What have I been up to?

Well I turned 23, and had the BEST birthday ever. My boyfriend, Logan, and I celebrate the same day. Isn't that pretty cool. I know...meant to be!  He bought me the sweetest ever bike and I absolutely ADORE it! We have been biking a few times and I am really looking forward to the summer so we can get out and ride. ♥

What else what else? We are cooking a lot and I have been slacking on pictures and everything so...excuse me!

I really had too much happen to blog about...so I will have to just up and start from this day forward because I have been slacking oh so very much.

Enough said! ♥ Enjoy the beautiful evening.

Something You Ate Today.

This may have been a few days ago, but I took a picture and told myself it would be the blog topic...so I have to follow through! Log and I had some wine and obviously some seeds before we went to Hanks and then my parents house for din. Yummmmy.

We are obviously different. Who does this?

Yea, getting rid of you rude ones. The other day Log and I went on an intense intense bike ride, or maybe I thought it was because I was out of shape. Anyway, this summer we are going to bike ride a ton. It will be great. Also. Adam's baseball started...yesterday were my first games and I loved sitting outside even though it was so windy and I was wearing 2 coats. WELCOME SUMMER activities!!!

That is not my brother. He is 15. ♥

Rain.

'It's like raaaaaaaaayaaaaaaain on your graduation day.' Logan sang me that song this weekend, because it was literally pouring. Obvs it has continued monsooning into this week and you want to know something wild? I am actually loving it. I have been watching Lost. I finished Season 4. Now onto 5. I have been reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult. Which I am love love loving, because it is about this sweet boy with autism and I feel not enough people understand how it really does play a big role in their lives, it is not some made up illness. Also, I am sick...so it has been nice to just cuddle up in sweats/sweatshirts and stay warm! I got my tonsils out about 11 months ago and granted I don't have blood coming out the back of my mouth or tonsils stones that I am addicted to popping by shoving q-tips and paperclips through my throat, I still get sick. :( Oh well.

I am sitting here now drinking a banana, yogurt, protein shake. It is delicious, but I should probably be drinking tea! Tonight!!!

Arm status: I broke my arm...last month...well, no end of March! Like the 23rd or something I don't know. They told me 6 weeks healing time. I can ALMOST get it all the way straight. Though it is painful. I can do most thing painless, but not all. I am hoping I didn't aggravate it by gong back to work too early...I need this arm for the rest of my life!

This picture is from when I was going to pick Log up for our adventure to Boz. I forgot about it! I love loved my outfit that day, too bad you can't see it all.

Thumbs up for graduating.

Now I must go get ready for a night at work. ♥

Graduation.

This was what I like to call a 'great weekend.'

This is how it went...in bullet order. We. Logan and I.

• We road tripped all the way and did great things while driving.
• We got into town and peed @ the school and got my new tassel. Honors!
• We attempted to find shorts for Log's nephews, because hello, Goooo Cats.
• That was a failed attempt...so we went over to our friends house and started the shinanagins! 
• Great...rough...night...grad was the next morning and we had to be @ the school at 7:45...do you understand how hungover every college student was? Yea, you do now.
• Then lunch/brunch with my fam who came to see my grad because they are AWESOME! It was delicious, then we made a wonderful trip to the co-op. I am going to cook so much now, I am so excited.
• Anyway...grad parties? Bar? Drinking with parents? Overall, awesome.

Here are some pictures. Thanks to my sugarpie for coming along with me. He is the best. ♥

Favorite Pair of Shoes.

Here are my all time favorite shoes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM. I would probably wear them with jeans, a skirt, a dress, shorts, probably even PJ pants. Yea, I love them THAT much. The best thing is they are COMFORTABLE!

I know. I need somewhere better to take pictures? Plus, not use my cellular device.

Aren't they freaking cute? YOU BET!!!

Here is what I STILL need to do. Look how great I have been doing...working hard towards the end of this picture deal!

Tonight at work was horrid. Literally. I am not EVEN going to get started on it. I take that back. Here goes. I served these certain people....who I hate oh so much...who stiffed me. Second, I had campers. Lots. Thirdly, this lady left me a check and my manager was like OOOOOOHMYGOSH. Excuse you? Sorry. I can't help it.  The hostesses obviously hated me...well the one told me the other one did not want to seat me and kept refusing to tell them to seat at my tables? Oh ok, well if she is telling you that say heck no I am seating her anyway. Point is...I closed and made like 64 dollars. That is HORRRIBBBBLE if you do not understand what I am talking about from 4-10? I should have walked with like 130. Over it. Now that I vented!!!

Oh...also...I have been chugging AirBorne and taking vitamins like it is my job and I really think it is helping...or that was the ridiculous amount of sleep I got today. I told you I was going to feel better for this weekend, didn't I? I never lie. Ok. That's all. Night. ♥

Last Thing You Purchased.

I purchased these wonderful shorts TODAY! I love love love them and the weather needs to be beautiful so I can wear them. Thaaank you.



Also, you know when you have a trip or a vacation or something exciting happening in your life and it feels like it will be forever until it arrives. That is what this week feels like. I am SO excited to get out of town and go to Bozeman and have a good time. I seriously have wanted to start packing for the past 3 weeks...but obviously I have refrained. Now, it is Monday...which means...4 days until I am there...so approx 3 until I SHOULD pack. We'll see what happens. ♥ I am going to go shopping tomorrow...and maybe find a cute dress for graduation if not, I will wear one of the milliontrilllllllllllion other ones I have. Oh and Thursday. I think I am getting my nails DID. I have to look CUTE for pictures. Hellllo. Even though my hair will be the tough part since...haircut lady decided half my hair was dead and she needed to cut off 2 precious inches. 2 inches is a lot mind you. My hair hasn't been growing in like 6 months I think because it was so dead. I do NOT like to get my haircut because I am fairly certain only once in my life was I actually HAPPY with what they did. Whhhhew.

That's all for today folks.

♥ Erin

Lost.

I lost my button. My old one because I accidentally deleted and saved WHILE trying to get my new one on and now I can't figure ANY of it out and ehow and google suck and won't help me. So. You might have to wait a year till' I figure it out, because I am frustrated and DO NOT CARE! That is why my beautiful button is gone. If any of you fellow bloggers want to just help me. That would be sweet, but really...I will probably eventually figure it out.

Best Week Ever.

This may perhaps be the best week ever. Ever. Let me give you a little rundown. Yea, here we go.

Last December or this past December, however you want to word that I finished my student teaching...which signified the end to my college education. Thumbs up. I have been sadly working at my oh so disgusting serving job...making managers happy, guests happy, and basically hating every time I walk into that building. Or think about it for that matter. I also have been subbing, which...really isn't my favorite. I just need a real job.

On Saturday. THIS SATURDAY. I graduate college. Yea, like hey...here is my diploma. Score!

Friday, we will head up to the wonderful city that I so much miss. By we, I mean Logan and I. What a joyous week! I do indeed have the most wonderful friends there. I would first like to give a little shout out to all of them. They are THE most amazing people ever. They do not judge me, they never ever talk behind my back, they are forgiving, they are hilarious, they like to party and drink, they basically are THE best people in the world. Plus, their drama level is like ZERO. Pretty sweet...because everyone in this sorry town is obviously addicted to it.

Anyway, I have quite the constant todo list in my life. BUT, listen to this...I knocked off my Reading Praxis on Saturday...which...let me tell you was a little more difficult than you'd have thought. Prayers that I passed it. Oh, and there was this dumb girl who was graduating @ 10 and she was FREAKING out and I found it hilariously amusing, because when you see check in time @ 7:30...you really think the test will start then? No. It started @ 8:20...so...she's dumb. THEN...I was @ work...and all of the hostesses. No names. Hate them. Were FREAKING out when I was making jokes in cashland @ work because I got to leave about how they had to roll silverware. Anyway...I love seeing people get so worked up...RELAX!

Anyway. I'm out. Throw your hands in the air if you're having the best week. I sure am. Plus, it just started.

♥

Can You Say...Woot Woot?

Woot Woot!

Graduation is in 11 days. 11 freaking days. Alright, you are right...I technically graduated like...the beg of December...but I get to go to Bozeman to officially for REAL walk and get my diploma. Plus, um. Hi? Bozeman...is probably worlds BEST city...with worlds most AMAZING people. In case you didn't know...like didn't have the honor of going to school there. Sucks for you. Anyway. I ordered my cap and gown and marked yes in that box and I am oh so ready! Tomorrow I have to call about  my honors rope or whatever that jizzjazz is because...hey...I need everyone to know I am smart. Ok. Also. Excuse the cockiness. Today has just been a good day. I have been up since approx 6AM. I had the most delish coffee and subbed and worked and came home and pretty much knocked out a todo list. Minus my todo list for the next few days has...about 10 things on it. Oh. Saturday is my Reading Praxis. Which I heard is near impossible, so if I fail that...um...prepare for some words to fly. Kidding. I will just retake it...everything is going to be alright. Here is part of my todo list. The rope deal. On that stat tomorrow morn. Scheduling a haircut, because LOOK my hair is gross. Split ends beyond belief. Oh and my bangs or whatever they were disappeared. Next. I need to do my arm exercises. MORE. I keep getting in the hot tub, but it hurts like a B and needs to get better...obvs it is still fractured. Hmm...study for my Prax? What I can, which isn't much. Phonemic Awareness and the Alphabetic Principle. Aced those long ago. Here we go again. Approx a week ago I was driving home from work...and all of a sudden BOOOOMMMMMM this boulder hit my windshield (literally...but not quite). So...this girl needs a new windshield! I also need to call Skyview for some alumni thing? Get my glasses tightened...and go to the bank for a super duper deposit.

Can you please tell me my life is chaotic but absolutely amazing. Shout out to all my awesome people! Oh and Happy Birthday Mom in 5 minutes. Loooove you. You best love up my graduation with your new 4625253 dolla camera. ♥

Aviation Banquet.

Yesterday was my first official outing with Logan's profession. Does that make sense? I sure hope so. At approx 5 o'clock in an angry mess we started getting ready. I had fallen asleep in Logan's bed and his roomie and him came home and were being louder than a herd of elephants. Logan decided an hour before this huge banquet he needed black pants...if this says anything about how the rest of his life is going to be...we're going to have to fix a few things. I am NOT a last minute type of girl. Well...I suppose I did go try and find dresses yesterday...which obviously I failed at because I wore an old one. Anyway...while I was getting ready Scheff comes downstairs with this hilarious tray and asked if it was appropriate to bring brownies on? Um. No. You are trying to get jobs. DO NOT take the brownies on that. Good thing they have a girl in the house. We did our thing and got all cute and had a pretty good time it was in the hangar at the airport and mind you I almost froze even though they have heat? We finished up the evening by going downtown. Thummmbs up. Here are some pictures. Only a few. Though pretty cool that we actually took them, we are the worst! ♥

A Wonderful Day.

Guess what? Today was one hell of a day. Last night Logan and I got all cutely dressed up. (No picture...) I wore a cute new summer dress obvs w/ leggings and boots and a sweater because it is still cold and he wore a cutesy button up. We were the most adorable couple ever! We ate some delicious cooked food by some Bin guy? AND. We drank wine. Maybe a little too much. I am so happy we decided to go, I have issues w/ branching out...but I literally had SO much fun. Yay for friends. Today...Log and I did some cooking. This is what we made.

Strawberry/Feta/Spinach

Excuse the bad photo! Crackberry.

Then we had some yummdiddilyumpcious porkchops. I HATE PIG. Yet, Logan sure can do wonders.

Then we had some molten lava cakes and raspberries and some vanilla BBY.

So the best? Yea, I think so. We also took a pretty great walk and talked about our insane summer adventures we have planned.

I also need to go sleep I have to sub up a storm the next 2 days for first graders, and they sure aren't easy!

XOXO ♥ Erin

Broken.

I broke my arm and then I got sick and my life has been retarded recently. This past week has just been miserable, no the past month. Point being...I will be back to blog soon. I can kinda of type with 2 hands now, but still? It takes me forever. Or something.

Knick Knack

 Excuse this POOR photo. My fav knick knack. It is a little snowman ornament that this little girl gave me from the class I student taught in. Precious. It says my name on front and the bottom says BCS 2010 Student Taught.

Favorite Shirt

Seriously. So cute. You can dress it up or down. I looooove the ruffles. I didn't take a picture with it on, but I probably should so you can get the full fledged cuteness. Take a look.

Last night I watched, "Waiting for Superman". You should ALL watch it what an amazing movie that is both heartbreaking and encouraging as a future educator. Documentary.



I already had one person tell me this: In response to me saying our schools are failing children, because our system is so broken.

*Seriously disappointed in your comments. I take it you will NOT be applying to work in a public school? If so, take some heed of what you say. Educate yourself about the issues and the research instead of just buying into such a propaganda film look, line and sinker.

Here is my wonderful response. Did I handle it well, because I sure did want to flip out.

*I understand that there are teachers who are great, who every day go into school with a passion for the students they teach. I want to be that teacher. Though, I do also understand there are teachers who don't really care. Our nation has be...en 'failing' in many areas and we need to help. It is heartbreaking to me that students are stuck in schools where they are not receiving the education they deserve. It is also horrible to see parents trying so hard who get stuck in a 'lottery' type drawing.

I so want to be a future educator in the public system so I can help make a difference and when I have children I want to feel confident sending them into it knowing they will receive a proper education that will send them into their future @ full speed. Trust me. I am not bashing anyone or anything. I respect everyone who goes into education. Through my many college classes where I have been educated about these issues we have always discussed the same things. This film was something to aid those discussions and to open the eyes for those who do not have the opportunity to be in the system.

Self Portrait

Self Portrait. Logan told me I had to draw myself, um, no thanks. Here is my self...taken picture. I do not understand what my hair is doing but this is what you get! Seriously though? What IS my part doing it is all flipfloppy? Like it or not. It is time for a haircut...my bangs are long and are driving me nuts, but I want my hair to get longer because I have been wanting to do fun up stuff. So. Whatever.

♥

Kooooobe.

Today at work I served Kobe Bryant. Just kidding. Here is how it goes. I approach this table and do my thing...the parents would not let their kids eat because they had a 'late' breakfast. A.) What kind of parents are you? Your poor freaking children. Anyway, I take the bill and this guy gives me a VISA gift card. Sweet. I run it. It has a remaining balance of 1.33...ok...cool. I go up to the table. 'I just want to let you know this is the copy for me that I need signed and you have a remaining balance of 1.33 on your gift card. Thanks so much for coming in!' Ok. This guy puts a 5 dollar tip, even THOUGH he KNEW THERE WAS NOT THAT MUCH MONEY ON IT. Second. He literally signed it as Kobe Bryant. Who does that? 1.) You are not black. 2.) That is fraud. 3.) Your poor children. That is all. Take a look.

 

Also. My brother is probably going to school for journalism and to play baseball and was told to blog to get started. So...you probably should read his, but don't forget about me because he is pretty much an amazing writer. Follow him here @ Grazin' the Grass. ♥

Listen to me.

Let me begin. Yesterday was a great day. I subbed and then I got to hang out with my amazing wonderful boyfriend!!! I went to his house and we hung out...and then made our way to Angry Hanks w/ his roomie...where we had some fabulous beer. Plus popcorn. We put hot-sauce on it. It was so delish, but I was literally starving. Then we went to Famous Daves...I am not impressed. I had a burger...it was alright, but not something I would go back for. Also they do not serve liquor. WTH? Ok. Then we went to Huds and then downtown to hang out with my most wonderful friends Larissa and Evan! I am glad that we got to go out with them. Even though our ears got rocked and so did our brains from the alch. Yummmy. I feel like I never see my friends anymore and it was an INTENSE week with tons of subbing and work and I got to throw a few back and enjoy my evening.

Tonight @ work...I was frustrated. People were stupid. I. NEED. WANT. A. NEW. JOB.

I am watching IQ right now. Meg Ryan...her Uncle the famous Albert Einstein. Yea. Interesting.

♥

Starting 30 Day Photo Challenge soon! I have to take a good photo of myself to begin. Duuuuuh'

Next Challenge.

I creep my friends and find these fun things to do. Granted they have stolen them from people. So, I guess it isn't weird that I am stealing from them.

This challenge is from Fawn and Flower.

Here goes another fun challenge!

Impatience.

I am going to tell you a little about my OG work situation. Ok. Sometimes I loooove that place. I can coax managers into just about anything...but apparently I am on their hit list. Last night and tonight guess where they put me? Yep. You guessed it. The CAF-FREAKING-E. Said AYYY. Not E. Anyway. Seriously? I made 24 dollars between yesterday and today...that is not right. I had a total of 4 tables. I have worked @ that joint for over 3 years and obviously have obvious OG RIGHTS over new people. Ok. Maybe once in a week, but twice. Back to back? Ok. Ranted and raged. Tomorrow I will walk out if I am in the cafe. Reporting back soon.

Second. I subbed this morn. On short notice because the ladies dad is in the hospital. So here I am being all nice and I was lost. There was like no written lesson plans. Just...like 'reviewlesson4moveontogwbpages.' I was lost and I winged it the entire day. I even get to go back tomorrow. I am too nice. :)

On a more positive note. I am being very impatient. I passed my Praxis. Which means. I am an official teacher...my scores were sent and NOW I WANT MY DAMN LICENSE. So hurry up OPI and send it to me...my other dilemma...yea...I am pretty much a problem on legs...is that I need to take the test for my minor. It is not offered in MT the entire year...well through the dates on the website...like July, but still. Logan, UT? No, thanks. I am not driving to fail a test. So...I hit up some people and am hopefully pulling strings...if not oh wellllllll.

I should probably sleep. I get to sub and work tomorrow...sub Thursday and then FINALLLLY get to spend some time with my suuugarpiehoneybun *hope you all sang the tune while you read that*. It is time. We are going to have some drinks and RELAX from the week!

Day 30

Day 30 - Your Favorite Song.

Currently. I love this song.

Stereo Love

Let us see. This past weekend @ work was crazy. I got my butt kicked, but I had a lot of fun and made toads and loads of money! Saaaaweeeet.

My brother and fam came back from visiting a college he may go to in AZ to play baseball. Wow is reality kicking in. We are all getting so old.

We went and saw Brian Regan @ the AB. It was hilarious. I almost peed my pants and my dad really probably almost did.

Mmmm...Life is good right now. I am really loving it up.

To sleep. Subbing bright and early!

♥

Day 29

Day 29 - In the past month...what have you learned?

• I have learned that many people in your life are not worth keeping around. They are most likely using you for something and truthfully it suuucks. Go away all of you. 
• I am smart. I passed my Praxis. First try. Heard it was REALLY HARD. 
• I was REMINDED that I have the best boy in my life. 
• I have learned that I am a much more patient person than I used to be.
• People care about themselves and really could careless about you. So watch out!
• I have learned...I am not meant to live in this cold climate. 
• I probably have learned much more, but this is all I have.
• I have like 2 girl friends. Yea, I said it 2. I sure do like males. 

I have one day left of this 30 day challenge and need something new. Help. Quick! Kidding. I can probably figure out what to blog about. Seriously, not. 

♥

Organizing my life. Be jealous. Also. I got a new white bag...CAAAAUTE...and a new lunchbox/bag...precious. I need to take pics!!!

Day 28

Day 28 - A picture of you from last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Approx. 1 Year Ago. Miss this.

Christmas time!

 Well...how have things changed? I am back in my hometown. Lame. I wish I was still in Bozeman. My friends there are so easy to call up and hang out with. Plus, I wasn't living at home. I was in school, which honestly I love and miss. I am living in the same town as my wonderful boyfriend. That is great. Probably the most exciting part of all of this year. Well yea, hands down. I need to work on trips...but apparently I am addicted to work. Kiddddding. I am going SOON. It is time for a good visit to my bessssssssssties in Boz. :-)

Day 27

Day 27 - Why are you doing this 30 day challenge?

Honestly? Because I started my blog and I needed something to talk about. I needed a good push me onward to creative ways! Here is a perfect way. So, if anyone else finds any other fun challenges and things to talk about, let me know! 

Hurray!

I figured it out. :-) My button I mean. So, now you can go add my button to your page. ♥

Warning: My button is incredibly large...so...when you add it go to rich text and make me smaller or I will take up your page like China takes up most of Asia. Seriously.

E. ♥

Day 26

Day 26 - What do you think about your friends?

I think that they are amazing. They are always there to catch me when I fall, always there to hate on people I hate, always there to crack me up. Pretty much. Amazing people.

Last night I came down with the flu? Or something. Let me just tell you...I have not felt this sick in a very very long time. (AND I went and subbed today...I am a rockstar...miserable rockstar let me add) My stomach has sharp pains wrenching throughout it. I am in cold sweats. I am achy. I am sick. So, yes, I called into work and let me tell you how rude my managers are. Are you really sick enough that you can't come to work? Umm....helllo...yes? Plus, I will get all my tables and employees sick if I come. So...I was trying to be nice and be like want me to call tomorrow morning and see if you got it covered. 'Uhm...no...you are sick so we can't have you here.' Excuse me for being nice and even though I feel like death...I still made an effort to make sure someone would be there in place of me. Yeeesh. My day has consisted of ginger ale, chicken broth, tea, and water. Well...tomorrow...I will try and stomach toast and soup or something. I need to feel better. NOW. Now. NOW would be great.

Ciao! ♥

HELP.

I made my button and yea, it looks oh so cute...but the problem is the part where you guys can steal it...WILL NOT WORK. I am over it and this is a bunch of B-S. Why can't they make things easy for me???? So...if any of you are amazingly talented...please help me.

Thannnnks. ♥

So...yea.

Button...code to come soon I suppose...for now...DO NOT copy my sweet button because you will get quite the mumbo jumbo!

Day 25

Day 25 - What I would find in your bag.

Wallet, perfumes, wipes, toothbrush, lotions, deo, pens, chapstick, lipgloss, vodka slushi recipe from my Gramma, and keys!

Lipgloss, Tums, hair deals, gum, floss, and a case I keep bobby pins and paper clips in!

Obviously my bag needs to be leather creamed.

Probably everything under the sun. Literally. I carry EVERYTHING with me. I recently cleaned out my purse. AKA: Before I took this picture...so this is a good picture of what I carry with me...add...tampons, body spray, Bible, planner, phone, Nook, books, chargers, make up, glasses, contact case, eye drops, etc. and you may have a start to what REALLY is in my purse! 

Day 24

Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else?

This is a hard hard question! Something not super exciting is I am missing 3 of my permanent teeth. You can't tell but the ones next to my two front teeth and one of my bottom '4' is gone. Prettttty cool. I would take picture...but you probably wouldn't be able to tell. Ahahaha. I do not know what else. I am VERY OCD. Different from the average person. Over that post.

Well. Tonight was an interesting night. Wait. Today was an interesting day. This morning I was in the cafe. Not even cool. I was so slow and people sit at dirty tables and then pull you aside and say exxuuuuse me can you clean this. WELL EXCCCCUUUSE FREAKING ME. Can you hold on? I have these other tables and I have to get them CRAP TOO. Then tonight. I had so manyyyy teepee lovers. NOT EVEN COOL. I got stiffed and stiffed again.  I basically gave up and was extremely angry. That is a-o-k though. Superbowl tomorrow. I met Logan...tomorrow a year ago. Does that make sense. It should. Ahahaha. Crazy!

I am out to watch some Grey's and Private. ♥

PS: Button to come soon!

Day 21

Day 21 - A picture of something that makes you happy.

Need I say more? A little wine to top off a rough day. Pleeeeeeease.

Also, thank you Larissa for being my helper for my blog-tard-ed-ness. You're the best.
♥

Day 20

Day 20 - Someone you see yourself marrying or being with in the future.

Logan Grant. You! This is a fancy time for this to show up. On February 6th of this year...in like...Friday, Saturday, SUNDAY! SUNDAY. We will have KNOWN each other 1 full year. It seems like forever and ever ago that we met. Seriously. I feel like I know you oh so well. <3 He pretty much is worlds most amazing person ever. His patience is incredible...because helllloooo if you know me...you know I have issues with...a lot of things. Aahahaha. He is the best best ever. He protects me, and laughs w/ and at me, he is calm, kind, compassionate, a lover, a friend, someone who I can go to when I am pissed...someone who lets me constantly abuse him and he takes it! This is my adorable man. He made worlds sturdiest ginger bread house. Hate him.

 Also, this picture is his bite mark. Ya, some crazy just bit him! He always protects me...see...takes the blow for crazy man making comments about me. Even though this was some crazy woman! Bahahaha. <3 Seriously though. Yiiiikes.

Day 19

Day 19 - Nicknames you have and why you have them.

I don't especially have many nicknames. My father calls me 'Er, like Air'. Which I LOOOOVE. Only him though...and Logan can call me that too. So...that is about that...sometimes people take a big spoof off of my last name and that is always interesting.

Anyway, tonight at work was CA-FREAKING-RAZY. I was in Chianti. By myself. Aka. I had to take 4 tables plus family table alone and then did not stop seating me all night. It was wild and crazy and I had this incredibly creepy table that I don't know request me and invite me to this party on Saturday? Um. Hello, do you not realize you are coming off creepymccreepertons? Ya. 1 males. 2 females. 1 child. Awkward? Yes. He left me his number which I put into the trash...and no I don't want a hooked up job from you. You are prob are out to kill me or something. Yiiiiiiiikes.

I also bought jeans...for waaaay to expensive prices, but that is OK, because jeans last me FOREEEEEEEEEEVER. Maybe not...I drive holes right through the butt? I don't even know how. I am also watching 'Hurricane' or something like that right now about that boxer? Oh so sad, I have cried approx 2325 times. I want to jump into the movie and shake people around. That always happens to me. I want to jump into movies and change things and wake people up? HELLLLOOOOOOO! Tomorrow I DO NOT sub, I DO NOT work. Whatever will I do with my day? Something productive. Probably not. I bet I will sleep in, read, eat, watch Off the Map, finally get ready. Then steal Logan away after his busy day and then have to come home because I sub oh so early Friday. Pretty excited.

I am going to go finish this fabulous movie. I would highly recommend it.

<3

Day 18

Day 18 - Plans/dreams/goals you have.

Plans, dreams, and goals I have, what a fantastic blog post. I will start by saying I graduated college pretty recently and now I am on a hunt for a job. I would say that my goal that I would like to fulfill the soonest would be to find a teaching job. Where I can have my own classroom. Where I can decorate the classroom and make it the cutest and most comfortable place for those kids to be. I also want to get my Master's in education at some point, but not right away because that is not smart as a teacher with no experience. I want to someday get married...which is a plan. Not a dream and not a goal, a plan. I also. Will have some kids. :) I will be a stay at home mom while they grow up so I can always be there to support them, but I will work if I need too. I also plan on moving away from MT someday and creating an amazing life somewhere else. I dream of taking many many trips and visiting my family lots. Really there is so much and this is such a broad topic that I am not sure what to address, we will just say...everything will come with time. 'What God ordains is always good...'

<3

Day 17

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day...and...why?

Well...this is hard! I am not really sure, but probably some actress, because I think it would be lots of fun to film movies and be famous and have people love you and want to take pictures with you. A.) You are SUPER pretty. B.) You are FAMOUS. C.) People love you. D.) You get to spend time with lots of other cool celebs. D.) I would have money to burn on lots of new clothes. Honestly though, I am content and though it would be neat...it is not going to happen. Thanks for making me think though. :)

Anyway. Another week down the 2011 tube. I did some subbing, lots of OG-ing, and some organizing of my life. Work was good, though I am fairly sure I had world's crabbiest tables this morning. I was ready to deck someone. They all would just look @ me. Excuse me? Do I look funny, even if I do you can respond when I ask a question. Thanks. I am going to go and try to figure out how to make this blog more exciting. I am bored with it and I don't have anything to do because obvs I am not studying for any Praxis tests, though I should be because I still need to take the reading one, but who knows when that will happen!

Day 16

Day 16 - Another picture of yourself.

Who wrote this 30 days of me? I wish I had more exciting things to do, I am hunting down something much more exciting when this is over.

That is me. Awhile ago, so apparently I need to take new pictures. Which was one of my NY Resolutions, but I have obviously not succeeded.

Let me tell you a little about today. This morning was not so great. There was this one lady who was a total B and didn't know anything. We have this dish @ OG. Lemoncello Chicken...anyway...she ordered that...and...at the end of her meal WHEN I was boxing her up...she said...oh and btw this is pork...so I peeked SINCE I was boxing her up...I saw artichokes and a BIG STINKIN' LEMON. IT WAS THE CHICKEN DISH. She was retarded and wanted her meal paid for and I was a straight B and came back and said sorry my manager said she can't do anything because you actually DID HAVE THE CHICKEN not the pork. She stiffed me. 90 dollar ticket. She can go suck it. Then tonight was absolutely AMAZING. My tables were so funny, and so nice...and I actually enjoyed work. I came home and watched a little of Inception with my famdam. My mother was lost and confused. I <3 to see her just with this crazy expression like she has no idea what is going on. Cuuuuute.

Anyway. I probably should sleep. Sunday School, Church, foooootball, and who knows what else. A freaking nap.

Day 15

Day 15 - Put your ipod on shuffle: first 10 songs that play.

I am officially TOO lazy to go get my ipod, but here is my favorite ever song right now. I have listened to it approx 2325235.888888 times. AND I LOVE IT. STEREO LOVE.

Stereo Love

Ohhhh. Ok. Also, life is caaarazzzy right now. This is what has happened recently. My student teaching has come to a complete and total STOP. You knew that though, I have applied to sub and I am subbing for the school I student taught at, my old elementary school, and the big school district in town. I need to call and get completely registered there, but I have been putting it off because I am entirely TOO lazy. So...that is my 'MAJOR' work life. I got my scholarship for my grad classes, so that is suuuper exciting too. Thank yoooou AmeriCorps for that nice check. You will aid my continuing education.

Basketball is almost over. I do not know how to feel about it. It was SO much fun, but at the same time the group of kids we worked with were tough. I love them all so dearly though and it seriously has made me a more patient person. We may be 0-9. Though those kids went out basically every game and busted their little butts off and laughed and had tons of fun and they always wanted to have practice when we didn't schedule it so...that is basically amazing because it means they appreciate what Log and I did for them. Currently brainstorming what goodnesses to give the little guys for the end of the year. Whatever it is, it will be simply amazing!

OG. You suck balls. Tonight I spilled a raspberry Italian cream soda down my shirt. Let me tell you. PEP-TO-FREAKING-BIS-MAL pink. I hate you. Also, I ran my butt off and pretty sure got screwed cash wise, but I don't care and the night is over and I am moving on this is a temporary job...for 3 years now and it will be over soon enough and I will have my own classroom and this will be in the PAST! Can I get a hip-hip-hoooo-freakin'-ray.

Sometimes I want to quit everything I am doing and just be a @ home non-wife-non-fiance-non-mom...but just live @ home and clean and cook and blog and watch kids...but I have to make money because I have to pay my fabulous dad back for the school he paid for. Good thing I have the best parents in the world and he paid for most of my school. Wahooo. Still though, debt to my dad? Is that even real. No big deal...I LOVE writing weekly checks...it makes me feel important and then when I go into my future engaged married life...my hubs will be like hell ya...no debt because you hear of all those poor young couples and one or both come in with like $60,000 dollars in debt because they who knows what as their youth and you laugh or/and feel sorry for them. Sucks, but maybe that is a clue to not get married so early...because obvs you pay together but look @ all the other bills...house/car/creditcards/uts/etc. I will NOT be that girl. I want to stably (?) go into that relationship and have lots of extra cash so I can go on amazing vacations. Oh also. Kids? Ya...I will be ready set go to have kids...and support them. My kids won't be eating pudding for every meal. They'll be classily raised. Now a word.

Ok...another random rant. I could go on and on and on and on, but I need to stop. Will report back if I think of anything. Thanks for listening. <3

 

Day 14

Day 14 - A picture of you and your family.

Already below. :) 

Day 13

Day 13 - A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

 I am fairly sure no one has hurt me recently. :) Let me see...yea no one. That is pretty amazing. I will say I had a minor/major/okitwasmajor freak out today when BSD2 e-mailed me and said oh and by the way BYE application, because it has been 30 days. I ripped them a new one and was like HELL-O. No way. I didn't really. I was really nice and panicky...so this wonderful woman helped me out. I love her already! Which means...ALMOST READY TO APPLY. Waiting for one letter of rec which absolutely needs to get to me soon and then SUB time. Meanwhile...I have not been subbing at BC...I do on Wednesday. I am nervous, I am not a morning person and I didn't answer my phone a few times and told them I couldn't another 2 because I was helping @ the school and now I am afraid they are going to call other people and not me. It is making me incredibly uncomfortable and I need to get back on the good side. Ok. Listen. I live way the heck in the heights and it is hard and I need notice so that is why I said, 'Sorry.' So...I probably should be like I REALLY want to sub, but I need more notice then 7:30...because...I can't get ready in 2.2345 seconds...and I live literally 45 min away with traffic. SO HELP.

Oh...that is all I have for today. <3 Night.

NY Resolution(s)...

Yes...I have multiple.

• Eating healthier. This includes Logan. We are NOT going to eat out as much. We are going to home cook! Yummmy.
•  More pictures. Esp of Log and I.
• Secret. <3
• Ride my bike.
• Vitamins daily.

TBC?

Day 12

Day 12 - How you found out about Blogger and why you have one.

Here is your answer. My friend Larissa Cook started to blog and she said BLOG BLOG BLOG. Basically just like that. I started and that is that.

Anyway. Over that day. LOGAN COMES HOME TOMORROW! I could not tell you how excited I am. Extremely. <3 I am going to give him the biggest wettest kiss ever and he better love it. On a more sad and somber note...I have to work tomorrow night and work a split New Year's day. That is ridiculous. I can't wait to never ever work at that job again, because then I can have a life. Next New Years we are going to Big Sky. It is already set in stone. Weekend away. Mmm...lovelovelove. Even if I still work at OG I will not even show up. Also...we are planning a Bozeman trip soon and let me tell you HOW excited I am to see my friends...the best of them. :)

I am OUT.

Day 11

Day 11 - Another picture of you and your friends. This is all I have!

Day 10

Day 10 - Songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyper, or mad.

Let us see. Here is a list of some of my all time favs.

Nelly - Just a Dream
This new one...it has the words party...rockstar...idk. Fun.
Anything by The Spill Canvas.
Um...I don't think I can do this. I like a lot of music. End of story. So many songs have so many meanings. Lots of songs remind me of my Bozeman girls. Songs remind me of everything! :)

Now Logan and I are creating fun song memories! Woohoo.

Day 9

Day 9 - Something you're proud of in the past few days.

Well...here are some of my wonderful...things I have COMPLETED! School district 2 app...except for one letter of rec...aka...I will submit it super soon. I am sending all my stuff to Independent today...um...I bought the Praxis book and am going to start studying for that. I am a champion. I loooove everything that I have done. So proud. :)

Day 8

Day 8 - Short term goals for this month and why...

Well there are only like 7 more days left in December, so here are my goals. :)

1. Finish substitute application for School District 2. HOLY 98908235235 miles long. Do not ever fill this out. Not even worth it. 
2. Send my resume and letter of interest to Independent. Ugh.
3. Get my last letter of rec from Juli. E-MAIL.
4. STUDY FOR THE PRAXIS.
5. Make cookies/nuts/yummy meals and play lots of games. :)
6. Oh, and have a fantastic New Years with Logan. Given.

Day 7

Day 7 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

My Family. <3.

Day 6

Day 6 - Favorite Super Hero and Why.

I am sorry, I am completely opting out of this post. I do not enjoy Superman, Spiderman, Captain Underpants, the Incredible Hulk. Etc.

On a better note...maybe not...I spent my day yesterday carting my brother around. He had a little accident rock climbing and let's just say his fingers, yes 4, were cut so deep that he had to get stitches. First, I got the call...so I had to rush out of my house...not showered...not ready for my game that night...go pick him up take him...then hang out at the stupid clinic forever. When I say forever I literally mean 25235235 hours. Ok. Maybe 3 hours. STILL! 20 stitches later...and a hand that looks like the Incredible Hulk if dyed green, he was better. I don't know about better, he has this huge baseball camp with scouts to do, and he can't do it because...obviously his hand is out of service. Also, the pictures below DO NOT look half as bad as it did in person. I wish I could explain that better. You could see so deep into his hand...and it STUNK, like blood. I stomached the entire thing. Be proud. 

Day 5

Day 5 - A Picture of Somewhere You've Been

I have been to SO many places. I drive across the country every single year with my family. Well back East, but I have also been West. I have seen so many different places and so many different states it is incredible. There is probably something exciting in each state I have seen. This is my vacation of '09. '10 is just not findable at the moment, though I would have LOVED to show you Yankee Stadium, etc, etc. This will have to do!
