Halloween??? →
I went shopping for a Halloween costume yesterday that ended up leaving me without one. I do not want to pay $60+ for a one night thing. So I think Chris and I may be a pilot and a flight attendant, which I think would be precious. Here’s my inspiration!
whatiwore:
When it comes to Halloween, why buy your costume if you could make it (or better yet, pull it out of your own...

Before September
I haven’t posted in weeks, but I’ve been busy swamped in school/work. I literally live in my desk and at Ross. It’s been exhausting. Hopefully four days off work will give me time to get caught up on manuscripts. So far I’ve really enjoyed this school year and I’m taking a lot of pride in my work, I’m working hard for a good GPA this semester to qualify me for...

At the very least, it was honest.
Today is my first day back to work after a very long and relaxing week down in Houston. That’s right “relaxing” for the first time ever. Every time I’m there things get a little easier, but we did however hit a brick wall. I naturally assumed that because I spent last Thanksgiving in Houston, this year Chris and I would spend it with my family. His parents response to our...

Take 5
All these new television shows (sponsored by Starz) such as the Tudors, Pillars, and now a new one Camelot, are making me wish I had lived in a much more perilous, more important time in the world. This is one is much more intriguing with a strong plot and much better acting. It’s obviously the story of King Arthur with a more modern twist.
Not much has changed this summer. I’m...
Back to her.
I just finished this book. If you love scandal, this is definitely a book for you. It had some rough patches of bad parts, but the story line was incredibly fascinating. A mystery and a massive scandal, along with some good life morals and tales. It was a great read especially on a 14 hour car drive.
So that’s all in reading but what have I been watching? Well because Chris and I...
Lately
Our trip to Indiana was so so. Chris ended up dropping his summer class so he decided to go with :) thank goodness he went. The trip turned out to a dramatic fiasco with mixed results. Needless to say, I’m glad it’s over.
(my dad nabbed this pic at a steak and shake in muncie. It’s clearly posed, but precious nonetheless.)
News: Chris and I just got our first king size bed :)...
So as of lately life has calmed down and I’ve gotten into a normal rhythm. I’ve just been working and slowly spending time with friends and family. Sadly I have to to work the entire holiday weekend, but on the Fourth I get off at 3:00. So Chris and I are driving home to eat and spend time with my family. My aunt and uncle are going to set of fireworks and both my sisters will be...

We don't have secrets.
I’ve been feeling so lost lately. All my life down to the very second every “epic” moment has been planned. From the moment I stepped foot in high school I knew I would come to Oklahoma State and I knew my major would be English. I also knew I would soon be a writer/publisher. I constantly catch myself doing this for my new future: Cars, marriage, housing, babies, etc. It’s...
Don't be ridiculous.
Well nothing’s changed much! I got some new clothes that I’m very excited about! Including my swim suit, which I wore the other night for a late night swim with work friends!
I’m really pretty proud of myself for making new friends. I’m pretty much a hermit and I don’t get out much. 98% of the time it’s just me and Chris. But after closing night after night...
Bag. Borrow. Steal.
I finally got my new bathing suit in the mail! Remember that bathing suit I wanted back in April? Well I told myself not to buy it, but I ended up doing it anyway. I must say, I have never been happier with a purchase. :)
At first I was unsure what it would look like, but I find it extremely flattering. I was so happy with my choice.
It’s father’s day weekend and as such Ross will...
WatchI can’t lie. This next film is going to be epic.

New Trailer Released for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II’
This is apparently the “final” trailer but may be the most epic of them all.

love isn't all you need.
I’m a workaholic it seems. I’ve been working more and more as weeks go by. I hardly ever wear anything but my work uniform. So I attempt to at least look decent at work.
Rarely I haven’t felt like taking any pictures of myself. Today I committed to taking at least two. A little project called you are beautiful.
I was so productive today cleaning and reorganizing a few...
You were my new dream.
Life has been moving ever so slowly since the summer began. I spend the days wrapped up in bed until noon. My personal belief is that I only get up at noon because that’s when Chris comes home for lunch from work and/or school. I don’t usually work during the days, so I’ve been taking the advantage of having a lot of time to get ready and fixing my hair every single day....
I'm coming home.
Well I haven’t posted in… well I really don’t know how long, but it’s only because I’ve been without internet. So let me just catch you up to where I am nowadays.
1. My sister and her boyfriend (and all my other friends) graduated and left Stillwater which left me and Chris and few friends I need to get back in touch with.
2. On graduation day, Chris’s mom...

Dead: adj. No longer alive
This week is dead week at school. Boo. I have so much to do so I’m afraid this may or may not be my last post until next Sunday, but we’ll see.
This weekend I went out, for the last time, with my big sister :’( we went to see Madea’s Big Happy Family and it was so so so funny, on top of dinner at Cheddar’s.
Saturday Chris and I were driving around I saw a peacock...
She stood still for a moment, only to catch her...
I am so so so busy right now. School officially ends (for me) two weeks from today. That means that on top of work and regular school work, I need to study for my finals! I have all the study guides ready but I haven’t started to work on them yet. On my to do list for both today and tomorrow, (I failed to complete this task yesterday), is to complete Spanish Lesson 12 and write my paper for...
I should've gone into the field of "animals"
I finally finished my paper yesterday! I read it to Chris and he said it followed the prompt and that I presented my debate fairly well. I hope he’s right, I desperately need a good grade on it. :(
Today I have a presentation (in about 10 min) that I didn’t really do much for except make a crappy powerpoint. Oh well I’m sure I’ll get a good grade, it’s about what I...
All we need is love.
Well this weekend turned out to be much better than I had planned. A typical weekend for me: homework, Chris, food, sleep. But this weekend I started my new job at Ross (Dress for Less) yippee! I’m working the fitting room basically doing nothing, but I would take it over calling OSU alumni any and every single day.
The back ground is Chris’s new apartment where I’ve been...
Checkmate
As of late, not having to go into that terrible place to work has put me in a better mood, it’s also giving me time to catch up on the school work that’s due by the end of the month. This school year just flew by, which thinking about this causes me loads of anxiety. I’m so scared to grow up and go into my big girl life. By the time I wrap my head around the fact that there is a...
Now Hiring: TAKEN
Thank goodness for things looking up for me. I got a new job yesterday! YAY! So no more Cowboy Calling I just don’t know how to let my past boss know that I can’t finish out my two weeks. :? But that’s ok with me because I do not want to work there at all anymore.
I’m trying to get my final school work finished up:
Paper due @midnight
Spanish LOTS OF SPANISH

Heads or Tails?
Well it seems my luck has turned around! Although I did miss my classes today because I was very very ill this morning, things have FINALLY started looking up. First good news, my pay check was way more than expecting leaving a little room for breathing. Then as I stood line with Chris to get food, I got two phone calls and guess what? Two interviews Monday! Yay!
Now I’m going to be heading...
Momma said there'd be days like this...
I hate hate hate days like today. The smallest thing brings my world crashing down. It’s weird with me, it always seems like the big things people do (steal, cheat, abuse, etc.) aren’t really a big deal. I’m quick to forgive those who commit terrible crimes, and myself for that matter. But I’m unable to forgive those who simply make mistakes. I hate also, when I’m...
What's the year? 1530 or 1929?
I’ve been practically stuck in the 1920s for two weeks. I’ve recently read Water for Elephants which turned out to be a fabulous story set on a circus train during the 1920s Europe. It was a captivating tale which is set to be movie later this summer. After finishing the book I’m definitely very excited to see the movie.
I just recently started another book, Bright Young...
What have you done for him lately?
I have been a tad slow on posting and can’t decide on whether it’s because I don’t really want to talk about things that are going on or whether I am just lazy. Well I guess I could start with the bad news.
My Job: I’m at a total loss on what to do about my job. Should I quit before I get fired? Should I stay? I’m not sure but there’s a high chance I’m...

Slow your roll baby girl.
I’m completely not ready to be back at school :/ ugh. Sad news, I bombed my Tudor Midterm that I left so confidently. Turns out I didn’t do it correctly and I ran out of time and couldn’t finish my last essay, docking me 30 points! So frustrating, especially since I could teach this class myself.
I’ve finally got a course schedule for the fall. Yippee! Chris enrolls today...
Spring from Break.
Well, it was worse than I thought it would be. For two Spring Breaks in a row I’ve gone on a trip and on said trip have come to the realization that I have the world’s most amazing parents. When I go home, I always feel like I can be myself and I feel like my parents really enjoy my company and have grown to appreciate the woman I am today. I like that I can share anything with them,...
It's already Tuesday
It seems like time has flown by since my last post. But rather than catching up I’ll just say that throughout the weekend and on Monday, I got very little done :/ I got stuff sorted with Chris not myself, which should have been my priority, but that doesn’t matter because I caught up today. I completed my Spanish and I’ve been heavily studying for my test on Friday! I also got...
Close your eyes I'll be on my way...
Last night Chris left on a trip for the weekend. Sigh. But he should be back today or tomorrow. So instead of staying home me, my sister, and her boyfriend met up with my parents for dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I really hate roadhouse and I ended up with a stomach bug later :( but after dinner we went see I Am Number Four, it was good but incomplete? I still had so many questions when it was...
Oh Florida please be still tonight.
Well yesterday was pretty jam packed. I went to all my classes yesterday and afterwards tanned, wrote my American Lit paper that’s due next Friday, and caught up on Spanish. I’m trying to get ahead in school because on the Monday we return from spring break I have two papers due! Ugh what kind of teacher thinks I’m trying to write a paper over Spring Break. So here’s what...
I like it, I love it.

No day but today
Well it’s the first which means rent is due and as of late, Chris and I have been paying all of our bills on the first so that way we can make a 30 day budget, hopefully this month will be much better than last. Sigh.
Today we just ran around paying bills doing this and that and finally the very last thing on my car is fixed! yay! All my windows are now in full function which is terribly...

Every song I sing, I'll for you.
Well the weekend turned out to be exactly like I wanted it too. I feel 100% relaxed and very very pleased.
I arrived at home on Friday night. I spent the night having a nice dinner, watching tv, and having A L O T of girl talk with my bff. It was fun and we got to bed a decent hour. Decent enough, that I woke up at 9:30 on Saturday :/ I was only OK with it because I wasn’t still tired. We...
