Weekend Rambles...

Greetings!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! So far, we've done some shopping downtown, tried some new restaurants (new to me anyway), and now it's time to get some housework and writing done. In the meantime I'll also be catching up on some movies that I have on my DVR. Yay! Speaking of which, we just watched 'Just Enough'. I knew I would like it, and it was funnier than I expected! Have you seen it too?

* I'm proud to say that I have finally chosen a college that will work for what I want to major in. Going back to school is way intimidating to me. Just thinking about having to take all the general classes again.. Blech! The only one I really fear is math. Lemme tell you something.. I am where math goes to die!!! The numbers race at me full speed ahead just to bounce off my head and fall dead to the ground. Lol. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not. Unless the teacher is really good and patient, then it's going to be a very long semester. People always tell me that math isn't hard because the rules never change, but I think that's what makes it hard for me. The rules can't bend and change like they can when you're interrupting a story or book so I feel constricted.

* Do you have a hobby? I always seem to have something that I'm into, but I never consider them hobbies. Take crochet for instance.. I don't consider that a hobby, but other people do. Sometimes, people are even shocked when I say I have a business selling crochet items. I try to figure out if they think it's weird that I have a business or that selling crochet stuff is business at all. Either way, it seems that I should be mildly offended. Ha ha. :)

* Have you seen those women that wear heels all the time? I've had some friends say that their heels are more comfortable than tennis shoes. I don't find this to be true. Let's think about this for a min shall we? Any shoe that forces your foot to be positioned in such a way as to where you have to walk on the balls of your feet all day cannot be comfortable. Don't get me wrong, I love heels. My feet just don't. :op

Okay, that's it for today kiddies. Share your thoughts with me.

Ciao!

Weekend Rambles..

Greetings peeps!

 

 

Are you just joining for Weekend Rambles? I like to think of this as a non-judgment, free flowng thought kind of space. I'm curious about and welcome your rambles and thoughts for today. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has been a wonderfully relaxing weekend for me. Yesterday, I just chilled out for the most part and caught up on some TV watching, some sleeping, and did as much crocheting as my hands would allow. Then after going on a new food adventure for dinner(post soon to come), we went to the mall and found that Macy's was having a one day sale and was staying open till 11 o'clock. Needless to say, I bought some things. :) I've never shopped at their one day sales before, but now that I know the goodness of it..... I will go again! I hope you all have had an equally good if not great weekend! Let's do some rambling..

 

 

 

* Since we just talked about shopping.. For whatever reason, people always seem to feel the need to stop in the middle of isles and/or walkways. I don't understand this. You know there are people walking all around you, right? Yet you stop mid-stride to talk on the phone or look at something causing me (and everyone else) to bump into you. Move your stuff or you cart over to the side and get the BLEEP outta the way dude! Geez..

 

 

* Did you see what they call the 'Honey Moon'? It's always amazing to see those big orangy moons. It seems to hold a special kind of mystery when it's not the 'normal' moon color. Apparently, they call this full moon a Honey Moon, because it's more likely to stay that honey color all through the night.

 

 

* I've been crocheting lately, right? I chose this specific pattern for some baby booties that I wanted to make and it is kicking my ass! Part of the instructions didn't make sense to me and quite personally I think it's written wrong. My inner Tim Gunn said 'Make it work!' and so I did. I will not be defeated! :o) To may yarn addicts, do you have a lot of trouble with patterns?

 

 

* I've often wondered how many people really go to the theater. For whatever reason, I've had a hankering to go see a play. I think the last time I saw one was back in 2001 when I went home with my best friend for Spring Break in college! I don't need to see a big huge production. I'd be good with going to a small Playhouse. Have you gone to any plays lately?

 

 

* I'm actually sitting here watching cartoons. It's one of those times when you turn the TV on and there it is, so you watch it.. Whatever happened to Saturday morning cartoons? I used to LIVE to watch those. I would wake up sometimes at 6:30 am and start watching Muppet Babies and then I would surf through the different channels to watch my favorite ones. Didn't even need cable to watch cartoons then. Of course the morning was concluded with Saved By the Bell & California Dreams. Then it was time to get dressed and go outside and play. Good times, man. Good times.

 

 

* Speaking of childhood, we went to Academy Sports store the other day and were riding around on the bikes in the store. I literally almost ran into some shelves, because I was trying to stop and the bike was too tall for me! It was fun and I probably hadn't ridden a bike in 15 + years. I think it would be nice to go bike riding again. Do you have a bike and go riding?

 

 

 

Okay, this is it for me peoples. Have a great weekend!

 

Ciao!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


* Yesterday, I went to go see Godzilla and it was great! People even clapped at the end, as did I. Definitely go see it. I was a little squirrely while we were there, because we were surrounded by coughers galore! Do you ever have a hypochondriac moment where you just know your throat is starting to feel scratchy, because you've been around sickly people?? Silly I know.



* The only time I ever envy men is when I have to use a public restroom! Let's be real here for a moment, shall we.... How awesome would it be to just zip down, whip your junk out, zip back up, wash your hands and roll out, instead of having to get half naked in order to just pee. Let's not even talk about seat liners and the headache that causes.



*Speaking of bathrooms, can I admit that I get a little nervous about seeing partitions that have doors high off the floors? Like, why does the bottom of the door come up to my knee? I don't like the idea of someone being able to see my clothes all gathered around my knees/ankles. Isn't bathroom time supposed to be private?



* Do you ever gather up a ton of magazines, to just not read them. I always have good intensions, but a lot of times other stuff just takes precedence.



* At any given time, I love having a house phone. A reliable hardline that doesn't drop calls in the middle on your conversation and if you don't have a cordless phone, no need to worry about charging it. The plus side of a house phone is that it also doubles as a weapon. You'll know what I'm talking about if you ever had one of these here!! Ha!



* Do you ever just need 'me time'? Time to cry and blow snot bubbles over movies you'd otherwise never get caught dead crying over. Or to read a book and throw it across the room, because you simply just cannot believe what happened in the storyline, just to run across that same room to get the book because you MUST know what happens next??


* Sometimes my high school years seem so long ago that when I think about them, it just feels like some old movie that I remember watching and not my actual life. Oddly enough those when I hear music from that time, it's hard for me to fathom that it first came out on the radio 15-20 years ago!


* If I had a super power, I always thought it would be cool to either be able to fly or become invisible at will. What say you?


* I really like the new trend in nails right now. Something like this or this. I think that at some point I would poke the shit out of myself, because I would forget there is a sharp point at the end! Ha ha! I would endure though, because I'd feel badass!


Alright friends! Hit me with your random thoughts today. Happy Sunday!


Ciao!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend, because I know I have! Are you just joining for Weekend Rambles? I like to think of this as a non-judgment, flowing freely thought kind of space. I'm curious about and welcome your rambles and thoughts for today. Enjoy!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

* I've recently had the opportunity to be around firearms. It's surprising to me how many people have guns! They've never been apart of my world, so I guess I've never thought about it. Do you like guns? Do you have one? I don't know if I'd be prepared to hurt and/or kill someone, if at some point someone was to roll up on me to cause me harm.

 

 

 

* Do you pay your bills on time? I'm always curious if people really do. I know it's silly, but sometimes I like holding on to my money as long as possible, just so I can see it there in my bank account, and you know... Just in case something comes up by surprise that I need money for. It's silly, I know... I can't be the only one.

 

 

 

* Speaking of money.. Am I the only one that curses and throws Salle Mae the Finger whenever you think about paying back your student loan? I swear that was one of the biggest and most stupidest decisions I've ever made in life. Damn your evil, non-forbearance giving having pass Salle Mae! ::: shaking my fist in the air :::

 

 

 

* Sometimes, I want to grab a blanket, lay out in the grass (or on my balcony) and stare up at the clouds and find shapes. I used to have this big rug, I would pull out of the storage room when I was a kid and me and my friends would lay on it in the grass and stare at the clouds for what seemed like hours. Good times.

 

 

* Why do people wear sunglasses outside when there's no sun!? I've never understood this... Are your eyes just that sensitive to light or are you just trying to look cool?

 

 

* I've finally pinpointed what I want to go back to school for! It's a reeeeeeeeeeeeeally good feeling to know what direction I want to go in now.

 

 

* Do you dream a lot? I go through periods where I remember I've dreamt and then others times I don't. I'm not sure what makes the difference. From what I understand, we always dream, but we don't always remember them. Sometimes in my dreams I'm not even me. Sometimes I'm a man who's this Indiana Jones type of guy who's on an adventure. Other times I'm just watching the dream and I'm not even in it. Have you ever been able to speak another language in your dream? I have! Now that was awesome!

 

 

* Stretch pants are meant to be worn with something over them whether you have a great body or not! Sorry, that's just my opinion.

 

 

 

* Happy Mother's Day out there to all the mommies today! I love my mom very much and I miss her everyday! She's a classy, funny, loving, generous lady, and I can't wait to be in her presence at the end of this month. :)

 

 

Well that's it for now! May your day be filled with love, joy, and only people that will uplift you and bring positive energy into your life and space! :)

 

Ciao!

Greetings!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend thus far. :) Yesterday I went to a huge flea market that probably had everything you could think of, even some Beats headphones for $15. Ha! There were booths selling shoes, clothes, beauty & bathroom products, electronics, original Nintendo games and and assortment of gaming consoles, kitchen appliances, and lets not forget the food stands selling fresh fruit by the cup and wheat chips by the bag. Have you ever seen wheat chips before? I hadn't. They look like fake round orange slices. Never would've guessed they were wheat and people were buying up a whole bunch. Everywhere we went there were a ton of kids nomming on those things!

Today I'll be out and about window shopping, enjoying the sunshine, and obsessively looking at my eBay stats! I finally listed something on eBay! Check it out Here and Here.  What do you have going on today?

Ramblings 

* As you can see I have my latest Polyvore set above! I love fashion and I have seen more and more people wearing overalls again. Can I just say how excited I am about this. I.love.overalls. I salivate. I must have a pair before the Spring & Summer season is over. The great thing about them is that they can be worn with heels or sandals.

* I've been thinking about going back to school, even though I'm not of the traditional age anymore. Have you gone back to school. Did you hate it? It seems a bit scary. Let's not even talk about having to apply, needing transcripts, waiting on acceptance letters, possibly applying for grants and/or financial aid. Ugh..

 * I love tea... Black tea, green tea, chai tea, white tea. Love em all. Is it just me or does tea just not sooth the soul! I really need for a Teavana tea bar to come on down to Atlanta or just more tea houses to pop up in general. Just a nice place to go and chill, read a book, and sip some tea. 

* How cool would it be to grow your own herbs? I'm wondering how difficult it will be or if I would use the herbs enough to where I wouldn't waste so much?

* Why is gas so HIGH right now!?! In my neighborhood gas has jumped up to 3.80!!!!!! Whaaaa.. No. This is unacceptable. Thankfully, I only work 15 mins away from home. Je-buss!


So what have you been up to this weekend? Tell me your ramblings. :)

Ciao!

 

Weekend Rambles..

Greetings weekenders!

 

Have you been enjoying your weekend as much as I've enjoyed mine? If you read yesterday's post, then you know that I went to a festival! The weather was so beautiful and warm that I wore my favorite sundress that happens to be strapless. I did however have a denim jacket with me to fight off the morning chill. 

I went to an Arab festival, where there were arts and crafts,  a flag ceremony, various food tents with heavenly smells wafting from them and boths selling artisan crafts. 

I bought this necklace that I love! I immediately put it on even though I was already wearing a necklace. 

On to ramblings shall we? :)

* As a kid I used to loathe Sunday mornings! Unlike the excitement that Saturday brought, Sunday would just be boring boring boring like a sad little shriveled hot dog just laying all plain on a stale bun. Now that I'm older I cherish them. They bring a quietness that no other day provides and it allows me to recharge and be mentally prepared to go out and fight another day. 

* Do you ever pick back up things you used to do when you were younger? I used to read a lot of R. L. Stein books when I was a teen.  I was thinking of trying out reading another book like that.  Maybe a Steven King book.. 

* Is it just me or do you feel like you're at the grocery store at least 3-4 days out of the week?!?  I always seem to forget something when I go to the store. It's a shame really because I bother to make a list and everything! 

* Why is Mexican food so good? Even Tex-Mex is the bombdiggity. Just sayin'.

* I'm thinking that pretty soon I'm going to get off my ass and change up this blogs look and actually use the domain name I paid for!  Where do you have your site hosted? Is it user friendly? I need some help here friends! 

* I am SO IN LOVE with this song right now! 

Alright friends, that's it for me. What's on your mind today? 

Ciao!

I hope everyone has had a great weekend and Happy Easter (if you celebrate it). I'm thinking this will be a fun installment to my weekly posts. A way to share random thoughts in my head and just a free way to write with no structure whatsoever really. And so...

• I used to love Easter when I was a kid! I think it and Christmas were right there on the same level. I would wake up every Easter and there would be a brand spanking new colorful basket filled with shiny wrapped, yummy filled chocolate eggs and other assorted candies and my brand new bunny for the year! Oh how I loved my bunnies! Even after I knew the Easter bunny wasn't real I still wanted a basket. Ha!
• I'm here to tell you car naps save lives! Sometimes when I'm really tired at work, I'll take a power nap in the car on my fifteen min break. There is a lead up to the nap of course. First you get the not so good, cup of coffee from the breakroom and the caffeine helps for a while, but not all morning. Then the bobbing and weaving starts. You're physically typing and you catch your eyes opening back up, because you didn't know they were closed in the first place. So you straighten up and adjust yourself in your seat and say, 'Ok! I must stay awake..' Then despite what you've just told yourself and your body, you start to slide right back down onto that slippery little slope to sleepsville and then it's like, 'Oh forget it!!!' So you get up from your desk, drag yourself to the car, set the alarm on your phone, and in no time you've fallen asleep. Then after you wake up, you feel like you just slept in the car for the last five hours, because you feel that rested. I'm here to tell you it's happened man... after a nap I feel so refreshed that I don't feel the need to harm the nearest person anymore. :)
• If I was a man and had to dress in suits I would be the most snazzy thing out there! Have you seen all the new 'acceptable' colors that are in style now for men? I would wear a three piece suit everyday, with  a tie or an even more fun bowtie, and some Cole Haan shoes to match! Whaaaa? I'd be fly e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y. I keep trying to get The Boo to wear a bowtie, but he just won't do it! Is it wrong that I try to vicariously dress him through my style?
• Speaking of menswear.. Dare I say, I somewhat miss fashion in the 90's where you could roll out of the house and be dressed like a man, and it's considered androgynous and not something else.
• I may start writing a bunch of short stories in the near future. Do you read short stories? I always like the books that have story stories from different authors?

That's it for my ramblings today! What you do have on your mind? Tell me, I'd like to know!

Ciao!
