Oink Oink

I'm going to apologize in advance because they're a bunch of random things I'm going to put into this post so its going to be like a bunch of mini posts in one!

First off...ok maybe it's just my school, my group of friends, and I know my hypochondria is DEFINITELY playing into this but has anyone else noticed that the subject of swine flu has been on EVERYONE'S mind's lately? It's seriously the only thing that anyone around here is talking about...the school has sent out like 800 emails, all of the professors have been talking about it in class, and my group of friends and I are talking about it because we obviously know that if one of us get's it, all of us will. To make matter's worse, one of my housemates has been feeling really sick today so we've been making her take her temp every 5 min and have basically convinced ourselves that she has it. Sooooo if I don't update my blog for awhile, I'm probably out buying a hazmat suit and curling up into the fetal position in my room!

Second of all how was everyone's weekend? Mine was GREAT but I def can't drink as much as I did both nights! Saturday was spent hanging out on the couch with my magazine/catalogue and Sunday I napped and did some work before my first sorority chapter of the year that night. Today was somewhat stressful (which is a story for a different post) however the definate HIGHLIGHT of the day was watching True Blood this afternoon on a break between classes. Um how amazing was that episode, and am I crazy or did Eric STILL look hot when he was in that dress? I also can't WAIT for the finale but can't believe that it's the Sunday after Labor Day....GRRRR.

Here are a couple fun pictures from the weekend (aka Friday night)


(My GIANT beer at the German restaurant)


tickledPINK and I with our beers


Senior and Junior KDs....ignore all of the empty Natty cans haha




(my dress from saturday night...I didn't have any cute pictures from that night but wanted to share the dress because I liked it!)

Lastly, I wanted to send a HUGE congrats out to my mama today for finishing her first day of school. After many years of working in the business world, and then being a stay at home mom, my mom decided to go back to school to become a vet technician which is something that she's always wanted to do....it's so awesome that she's doing this now, and I also want to wish her GOOD LUCK on the upcoming year!

Sorry again for this very random post and I hope everyone had a good Monday/a great end of August!

Normal Sauce

I decided to use a quote from one of my favorite TV gals, Liz Lemon, to say that UGH, as a result of having WAY too much fun last night, I am definitely NOT feeling too normal sauce today! Last night my friends and I went to a VERY yummy German restaurant in our town for dinner and REAL beer which they offer in two sizes, half and full liters...guess which one A Boston Belle chose? Yup I had a LITER of beer (pictures will come later) and was feeling VERY tipsy after dinner. Well of course the night did not end there and we ended up going to a house party, then my friends apartment before heading out to the bars, and I knew I was done when the room started spinning at the last bar, and I was just drinking water at that point!

What did make my morning MUCH better was that when I walked downstairs for some ginger ale (I don't know what it is but that ALWAYS makes me feel better!) and checked the mailbox I saw these two things waiting for me:


and





YAY!!! These magazines completely brightened up my day and I can't wait to read them while laying on my couch (or bed haha) Sorry for the completely random post this morning but I have to admit I really just wanted an excuse to use that quote from 30 rock!

First Sign of Fall

I had a break between classes today so after I finished my lunch, I decided to sit outside the building enjoying the HOT but beautiful weather. I was reading one of my textbooks when I noticed this:



WOOHOO! Even though it is only late August I am SO happy that some of the trees on campus are starting to change, and I can't wait until all of these trees look like these:





Fall is my absolute FAVORITE season, and I can't wait for the beautiful, cool weather, pumpkins, apple cider, sweaters, and (most importantly haha) my birthday! Next week around here it's supposed to be in the 60s which is just another sign that Fall is right around the corner!



On a completely different note I am SO happy that the first week of classes is over! Even though I wasn't the best on doing all of my homework this week (I really need to catch up on reading this weekend!) I feel like I have been running around all week so I can't wait to just RELAX for the next couple days. I don't really think I have a ton of huge weekend plans so I would love to hear if any of you all do and have a fantastic weekend!

Tickle the Funny Bone Tuesday

Ha sorry for my lame attempt at a creative title for this post but I just HAD to share this with you all. I found this on Jessica's blog Happiest Girls Are the Prettiest Girls and was seriously laughing for the longest time after I read this...I'll take a cue from her and bold the ones that are my favs! While I'm not 25 yet I can def relate to most of these...Enjoy!

Random thoughts from people 25-35 years old..

-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tellmy own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed tobe going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

-That's enough, Nickelback.

- I totally take back all of those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger

-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know"feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?

-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.

-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.

-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

- LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies" (Except I always think of the most innappropriate word to say, like 'penis' or 'asshole'!!)

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

-MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,and you can wear them forever.

- I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu'to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."

-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

- Bad decisions make good stories

-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just gotthe Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind ifI do!

- Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspringwould probably just be completely invisible.

-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

--You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.


-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

- When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasnt already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle,then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what wouldhappen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

- I think the freezer deseres a light as well.

-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

-The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words,someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.

I'm Finally Unpacked!

After 5 days, MANY suitcases and boxes, and 10 episodes from the first season of True Blood, I am FINALLY unpacked!! Sorry for the unexpected blogging hiatus but after getting back to school on Wednesday I have been SOO busy seeing everyone and getting my room back in shape that I literally went on my computer for the first time yesterday! The past couple days have been such a blur with going out a little too much, and catching up with everyone, and I am DEF feeling it today haha so today I'm relaxing with my housemates watching SATC movie, catching up on Reader, and hanging out before going out to dinner tonight to celebrate M's birthday and the start of the school year. Many more pictures will be coming but here is a little sneek peek of my room.



I hope you all have had a great past week, and to those in college, a great start to the school year!

Question

Is it a problem it I leave for school in less than 24 hours and I haven't really started packing yet? This weekend was SO much fun, and I did get a lot of things done for going back to school (ie shopping haha) but packing wasn't really one of them. Friday I didn't really do much but on Saturday my dad and I had our annual back to school shopping trip that we've been taking together since I was little. Yes, I may be a little too old to do back to school shopping with my dad, but I love spending time together, and on top of that I got some really cute things (especially the Jcrew Ikat skirt which is ON SALE...WOO!) Saturday night we had a bunch of friends over for a cookout and yesterday my family and I went to Rockport which was SO pretty! So lots of fun this weekend but sadly no packing was done which means that it will be a LATE night!

Today my mom and I have been running last minute errands, and on top of everything else, I have to go to AT&T to get my phone fixed because it chose today of all days to break on me (typical.) So that's going to be it for me today (and probably the next couple days) but I hope you all had a GREAT weekend, and I would like to leave you all with this gem from Grease 2 (you all know how much I love that haha.)



Don't you wish that every school year could start with singing and dancing?
