Random Thoughts and Musings

Yay it's Thursday! I don't work on Fridays so my weekend has officially begun and to make things even better me and the other intern got out at 3 today so I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering and window shopping around my town which was so nice and relaxing. After that my BFF C and I went to Brighams to get ice cream (quack tracks with rainbow jimmies for me...YUM!) And yes I did have ice cream before dinner so don't judge...or tell Jillian I'm seeing her later tonight after dinner haha. 

Anyhoo I am so excited for tomorrow because it's supposed to be completely sunny and 80 so I can't wait to lay out all day! Besides from that nothing too exciting happened today however I do have some random things I'd like to share but because they are SOO random, and because I'm feeling wicked lazy right now I'm going to bullet point the rest. 

-Is anybody besides me still watching Weeds? Ok if you are did anyone else get SO ANGRY at Monday's episode at the end when Nancy left Andy and went to live with the effing Mexican gangster? I may or may not have been crying and may or may not have thrown my sneaker at the TV

-Has anyone else had those dreams where you wake up the next morning and think  Wow I must have been on crack because there is no explanation for what just happened? I def had one of those dreams last night.  So my dream (the parts that I remember at least) was that I was a vampire and I was hanging out with Bill and Eric...I don't know where Sookie was. Oh and I was addicted to Coke (the drug not the soda haha). I don't really know what happened besides that but I remembered that I woke up at one point last night and thought HOLY SH!T I'm a drug addict! But then I remembered that it was just a dream and I went right back into it....I'm going to chalk this up to the fact that I've been spending alot of time with Sookie and the gang lately (I just finished the 7th Sookie Stackhouse book last night) but if this dream comes back I'm checking myself in to see a shrink haha

-I've recently become OBSESSED with the B.Spears song Hot as Ice off the Blackout CD and have definitely had dance parties by myself at night listening to that song. Listen to it and your ears will be VERY happy!

-Yesterday the head of the company I'm interning for who I know pretty well and see on an almost daily basis (our office is REALLY small and theres only like 7 full time people there) thought that I was the other intern, A, for about 5 min. At first I was kinda insulted that he didn't know it was me when I see him pretty regularly but on the other hand the other intern he got me confused with is about half my size and GORGEOUS so I decided to take it as a compliment and roll with it haha...who knows maybe Jillian is working after all! 

-Speaking of Jillian: I just noticed the other day that in Level 1 Circut 2 during the first round of the standing lunges, Natalie (I think that's her name) the advance girl TOTALLY cheats and doesn't lunge when she thinks the camera isn't on her. That made me feel pretty damn good when I was lunging and she wasn't! 

-Lastly I saw Public Enemies last night and LOVED it! I thought Johnny Depp was sooo cute (as he is in everything haha) and def teared up at the end...however I did get annoyed when in the last scene when the police man is talking to Billie (I'll try not to give too much of this away) and she didn't really cry but only her eyes watered. Wow if that was me I would have been curled up in the fetal position BAWLING my eyes out! If you haven't seen it yet def go check it out you won't be disappointed! 

Alright that's about it! Sorry for the incredibly random post but if you've made it to the end thanks for sticking with me!

Great News!

About 1.5 months ago I asked for a prayer request (you can see that post here) for my neighbor's daughter who, while recovering from open heart surgery (she had a previous heart condition) had suddenly collapsed. The doctors weren't sure what happened, and they weren't sure she was going to make it and if she did, they thought that there was going to be permanent brain damage. Well over the past month or so she was definitely improving but they still thought that there would be brain damage and that she would always have to be in a rehab center. 

Well yesterday when I was working at the boutique (they needed my help so I took the day off from my internship) my neighbor and her daughter walked in! She was released from the hospital on Sunday after a BIG improvement and she looked great! Obviously she spoke and moved a little slower than usual but she was in a great mood and seemed to be well on the road to recovery! It was SO great to see her and completely brightened up my day! Thank you ALL who sent prayers and good thoughts her way!!

That's right there's actually happy little suns on the 10day forecast! (I'm ignoring the few dark clouds) I really don't remember the last time I saw these so this definitely brightened (ha!) up my Monday morning!  I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th weekend...mine was fantastic! Vermont is seriously my favorite place on Earth so I was so happy that we were able to spend such a fantastic weekend up there! We left early Friday morning at went to Burlington VT, that's right on Lake Champlain. It was raining but still SOO pretty and I had a chance to check out all the cute stores as well! Alot of towns in Vermont do fireworks on the 3rd as well as the 4th so we were going to watch the fireworks in Burlington but it was kinda gross and cloudy so we didn't  Saturday was supposed to be pretty but ended up raining half the day which was kinda a bummer but it was so nice just to sit, read, and relax. Luckily enough the clouds cleared up that night so we watched the great fireworks show! Sunday was gorgeous and sunny so my mom and I sat out and soaked up the sun....even though I had a pretty good base I got SO sunburned (which is normally ok because I usually tan afterwards) but I forgot to take off my necklace so I have a circle that's imprinted that's probably not going away anytime soon...o well it was definitely worth it! Here are a couple pics from the weekend...sorry they look kinda weird...I forgot my camera charger so these are all from my phone.

I hope everyone else had a fantastic 4th as well...can anyone else believe that it's July 6th already? This summer is FLYING by! Hope everyone enjoys this sunny (I hope it's sunny in your area too) Monday! Oh and sorry that the format of this post is kinda messed up....Blogger was NOT my friend this morning!

WAHOOO! 4th of July weekend is HERE!! So I don't know about anyone else but this week seriously could NOT have gone slower. Sorry about not posting since Monday but between babysitting for 3 hours in the morning, going to my internship for 5 hours in the afternoon, and shredding at night I am sooo tired! This morning started off a little rough with waking up 15 minutes before I had to be at the girl's house and looking sick nasty all day but....babysitting is done, my internship is done (for the week at least haha) and I've shredded for the day so THE WEEKEND IS HERE! As I'm sure you can tell by the picture above I am so excited for the 4th and hopefully some nice weather! I'm off to Vermont for the weekend so this will be my last post until then but I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! I want to share pics from my FANTASTIC weekend to DC...btw def planning on moving there so if anyone know of any jobs opening next year for a Com major let me know haha ;)...but before I do so I want to say a couple Thank Yous! 

So a couple days ago Denise over at Seersucker Scrapper (who has the cutest blog so go check it out now!) awarded me the Lovely Blog Award which I feel so honored to get! 

The Rules:

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her link.

2. Pass the award to 5 other bloggers that you have newly discovered

I absolutely love LOVE discovering new blogs so here they are! (obvi in no particular order)

DC Prep

Float On

The Pink Washingtoniette

Be As You Are (PJ literally JUST started her blog and its great so def go check it out!)

The New Black

Alright! So even though this happened SUCH a long time ago I would LOVE to thank my koozie swap partner Ashley (she doesn't have a blog) for the adorable koozie she sent me! I can't wait to use it (if it ever gets halfway decent out haha) 

Next I want to say thank you Thank You THANK YOU to my absolutely AMAZING summer swap partner Bonnie over at Meanderings of Life for her fantastic package she sent me! I am one lucky lady and am getting spoiled! 

Everything still tucked away in the box

All my great goodies! I got a SUPER cute beach bag that I can't wait to use, the book 10 Little Blue Envelopes that looks great and I'm going to read after I finish book 7 of Sookie Stackhouse, yummy body lotion, a great water bottle, and a gorgeous wooden box!

And look at all of these goodies that were in the box! I can't wait to use all of them and are SERIOUSLY spoiled! 

Ok so last but definitely not least, as I've said before my trip to DC was the best time ever and I've totally fallen in love! Thank you to all for your great suggestions...we didn't get The Matchbox but my friends agree with you and said it was fantastic so I def want to head there on my next visit (or if I end up moving there haha) 

Friday S and I woke up and headed over to the Hill for our friend C (who's interning for his state rep) to give us a great tour of the Capital! It was so amazing and even though I went there in 8th grade I loved hearing about all of the history, and seeing a few things that I didn't before (sitting in on the House...SO COOL) which made it a great tour! After the tour S and I hit the white house and a bunch of monuments and then went to meet friends for happy hour and dinner at Tony's and Nick's (I think that's it) that was right on the harbor in Georgetown. It was SO YUMMY and pretty and we all had the best time! That night we all headed over to Adams Morgan to Brass Monkey which was soooooo much fun! It was a great bar, and was really cool because it had a ton of different levels (including a rooftop bar) that we just kept discovering!

Saturday, after a VERY late night we all woke up late, had brunch, and went to the Holocaust Museum. Really no words can describe it except...WOW. I visited there in 8th grade but really didn't get as much out of it as I did this time and it was incredibly sad and very moving. A group of us then headed over to the Jefferson memorial after and then to Clyde's in Georgetown which was sooo delish! After dinner we went to Georgetown Cupcake which were the best cupcakes I've ever had (and now I'm wondering if they ship haha) went back to their apartment and then went to Brass Monkey again for another great (and late!) night. 

Sunday we were going to go to Georgetown to shop but it was raining so we all went to the mall at Pentagon City where we did some shopping, and then I left for my funnn (haha) plane ride home! Overall a GREAT weekend! Ok so here are pictures but for your sake (sorry this is LONG!) no captions this time as I'm sure you know the people and places.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!

I officially HATE flying

I was going to devote this post to the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING time I had in DC this weekend, and the fact that I officially want to move there. I was also going to post pictures of my weekend in DC, my lovely koozie, my amazing summer swap package that I got in the mail, and thank Denise over at Seersucker Scrapper for the lovely award she gave me. But no...today I'm going to devote my post to why I HATE flying. 

When I first booked my trip to DC I had the option of taking a 7:20 or 8:50 flight. Because I had to babysit at 8:30 this morning before my internship I decided to take the 7:20 which would get in at 9. After the great but tiring weekend (probably had to do with the fact that I didn't get to bed before 4am every night...oops!) I was looking forward to getting home, having a late dinner, watching True Blood and going to bed. 

Well Jet Blue had different plans for me. After taking a metro and a loooooong bus ride to Dullus I was informed that my flight was now leaving at 9 which really sucked but whatever. I walked around for awhile had an overpriced dinner with a couple glasses of wine at Max and Ermas and waited for the flight. At 830 they told us that the ground hold Boston had was lifted and both flights were now immediately going. 

Well getting on the plane was kinda funny because as soon as the lady announced that the ground hold was lifted she said everyone had to leave NOW so people were running from their chairs to the gates (which were right next to each other) and it totally reminded me of that part in Armageddon when the Freedom  and Independence shuttles were loading (I had a lot of time to think of the comparison last night haha.) So we get on the plane and are all ready to go at 8:45 which was the fastest boarding time ever and I'm pumped because I can get home relatively on time. So we're sitting ready to go and the pilot comes on thanks everyone for their patience and then announces that the ground hold's back on so we're going to be sitting on the plane until 10. BAHHHHHH!!!! We finally end up leaving at 10:20 (i think...I fell asleep around 10) and got into Boston at 11:40, and I was FINALLY home at 12:30. 

UGH I am so sick of flying and delays it's not even funny! When I got back from FLA on Jet Blue (hmmm maybe there's a pattern here) I didn't get into Boston until 1am so I guess it could have been worse but getting up this morning was HORRIBLE. Thank goodness for HSM3 which entertained the girls the entire time I was there haha. I looked SO rough at my internship this morning it was pretty funny but at least I got to leave about 30 min early so that was good. 

So sorry for this LONG ranting post and I promise tomorrow will be MUCH happier! Off to take a nap, catch up on Google Reader (280 posts!) Jillian, and TV. Have a great Monday night!

ETA: Whoops forgot to add RIP Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Oxy Clean guy. It was SO weird with MJ because as I was sitting waiting for the plane on thursday it said he was in a coma and then two min later when we got on the plane he died...so weird/sad. However as much as I LOVE MJ's music I thought I was going to rip my ears off at the non stop MJ marathons they were playing in the bars/restaurants this weekend. Was I the only one going a little crazy with all the nonstop MJ music?

ETA2: Sorry I'm not commenting on alot of posts...I'm trying to read all posts in the google reader but I'm not commenting that much...will comment regularly tomorrow!!

Away I go!

 Quick post: I'm off to my internship for a couple hours and then tonight I will be on a plane for DC!! WOOHOO! I haven't been there since a class trip in 8th grade (which is a whole other story for a later date haha) and I can't wait! S and I are going to visit friends/sorority sisters who are working there for the summer so we have a pretty packed weekend but for all you DC ladies out there any suggestions for things I can't miss? Update and pictures on Monday Have a great weekend!
