Don't Talk and Target

Went to Target for 3 items, returned with 14. 14 of the most random items on Earth. I feel like the cashiers are past the urges of judgement. I was talking to my friend Tulip while I aimlessly wandered the aisles.

Here is my list of items. The first 3 are what I went in for: 

1. Paper Towels
2. Cat Food
3. Glass cleaner 
4. A Weekender Bag
5. Deodorant 
6. A Watering Can (for decoration, I have no plants)
7. Tampons
8. A Wedding Card
9. Razors
10. Toothpaste
11. Double Stuf Oreos
12. Blueberry Pie Oreos (had to try)
13. Denture Cleaner (for my retainer)
24. 2 emergency ponchos (for NiBo and I on our Hawaiian hiking adventures)

Subject: The Blog

Actual email in my inbox this morning...

Subject: The Blog

From: [Dad] Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 8:05 AM
To: [Heather]
Here it is going almost two months since the ”blog” has been update. Your loyal followers are beginning to drop from waiting on an update. So if you can muster up some energy this weekend, please update it.


LOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well... when your own father starts to turn on you, I guess it's time to update the blog.  I do admit I have been terrible at updating this year, and I don't even have a good excuse. I've done tons of fun blog worthy things and have tons of fun/exciting things coming up on the horizon. In my defense though, I did give the blog a bit of a fall-ish makeover, so at least my loyal viewers had something new to enjoy when they visited.

Tonight I watched the cubs game with a friend at Bdubs and decided since they lost and I was nearby I'd check out a good movie to mourn their loss.

I went and saw the Martian. EXCELLENT movie. My brother saw it last weekend and described it as a mixture of 'Interstellar' and 'Gravity'. I haven't seen Gravity so I can't tell you anything about that comparison, other than it heavily relies on Matt Damon as the leading man. If you like Matt Damon and have even the slightest interest in space, definitely check this movie out. 

There dad... I hope that will keep my loyal followers checking back to the "blog"

Life Happens

Work seems to keep more more exhausted than usual, and our new wave of trainees has me starting work at 7am again. I sure got used to sleeping in and not having to be in until 9am with my last couple waves of classes. I honestly usually go to bed about 9pm and still wake up tired, I swear I have some sort of crazy sleeping disorder that requires me to get like 14 hours of sleep on the daily.

I've had the greatest of intentions several times since the new year began to get all my crap in order figure out what this year looks like as far as what I want to accomplish, but every time I try to get started, I change my mind. At the very least I wanted to be more updated with my blog, but as you see that hasn't been of the utmost success.

This last Friday I got my yearly work review bonus check so I decided to spend some money. I bought a very lovely chair from IKEA in hopes that a comfy desk space will encourage more blogging. So far so good ;)

10 Things: It's Only Wednesday


Sitting in a classroom learning all day for weeks on end is wearing on my patience. It's a necessary evil I understand, but it leaves me exhausted at the end of the day, hence my lack of blogging. At least this week I'm working towards a three-day weekend and we're almost there, just a few days longer!! I need to figure out something fun to do this weekend, it's been awhile. 

Here's 10 things for a Humpday:

* 8 days until PT & OL arrive for some fun! 

* Siblings are only 30 days away! :D 

* I made myself sloppy joe's for dinner (not pizza, yay me!)

* I finally got the link removed from watch so it now fits properly

* Tomorrow night I am going to the Phoenix Symphony with a couple girls from work 

* I signed up for my first reddit gift exchange, Arbitrary day, which is a summer secret santa from a random stranger (redditgifts.com)

* Sherlock season 4 is confirmed (still may have to wait several years but it's going to happen!) 

* The motorcycle is all official with Arizona plates, registration and title ($147 later, for two years of plates)

* I discovered this today ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

* The cats still aren't best friends, but can sit for a length of time in the same room without hissing and lunging at each other..... baby steps

A Tale of Two Paintings


Sorry this picture is a little blurry but it's important for the story. This story begins way back in 2006. I had just moved into my new two bedroom apartment and needed some art for the walls. Being a poor college student I couldn't afford much. Please also note this was pre-Pinterest, so this is a completely original art project.

The colors of the room were black and white, and it was a big wall to fill. Enter the arts and crafts project. I went to Michael's and bought two larger canvas boards and a smaller one, add to that purchase some black spray paint, a couple sponge brushes and some white paint and you have yourself a project. The abstract look of my art was just to fill some wall space on the cheap.

Fast forward to last week. I had left these 'paintings' behind since I no longer had the color scheme to match them. I told Gma she could throw the away since they cost like $30 to make. Mom calls me last week to tell me this little story. She said that Gma had been outside dusting them off when a lady was out jogging and stopped her and told her they were so beautiful and she would offer $50 a piece for them. Gma thanked her for the offer but said she would have to check with me. When mom told me that I said "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" She said no, and that the lady said she would be back when she had the chance. Please note: If someone ever offers $50 for a finger painting of mine, you sell it on the spot and offer to carry it to the car! 

I then get a text from mom saying the lady came back and I have $100 on the way. Hooray!! What a very random event, I had to share. I feel kinda bad for taking that lady's money, but oh well! She thought it was worth it! I told Gma I would teach her my artful ways and we can make a killing on splatter painting!

Happy National Cat Day


Today is National Cat Day. I was unaware there was a National holiday for Cats, but in honor of said holiday. Here are some pictures of my adorable cat. (please note I have 1 cat with many photos, not multiple cats, I am NOT a crazy cat lady...yet)

Here's Oliver!

For Your Info: A Harvest Moon


Here is a little fun fact for you tonight/tomorrow is a special kind of full moon, it's the Harvest moon! What is a harvest moon you might be asking yourself. Well let me tell you the short of it. A Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox, aka the first day of fall; which is only 4 days away! 

You can read more about a harvest moon on google, or the site I learned about it Earth Sky


Don't forget to look up! Happy Hump Day!

Two Things to Remember about Tomorrow

(Or today if you are reading this on Tuesday)


1. Sons of Anarchy returns!!!!
2. New Apple Inc. product announcements (iPhone)


I have gotten several people addicted to Sons of Anarchy, including OL. She is very excited about it's return, she even has plans for a special meal! For me my Tuesday night 'Reaper' crew will be back together and will be tuning in to watch the 90 min season 6 premiere. Kurt Sutter, the creator of the show, has always said that the show will go 7 seasons, which means this could be the second to last season. And that makes me kinda sad.

New Apple products out tomorrow! Rumors have been swirling for months about the new iPhone and it's features. One thing that is not a rumor is the new features of the iOS7 upgrade, which just looks lovely if you check out the Apple website. Another feature is a fingerprint scanner locking device and better camera, faster processor and all that jazz. My upgrade just happened to be this past Saturday, so if I like what I see, a new iPhone will be in my future! 

Happy Tuesday!

In Case You Missed It

It was more awkward than Miley Cyrus twerking at the VMA's.... 

While enjoying my Saturday night prime time football game of Notre Dame at Michigan, it took a turn for the awkward when half time rolled around. Someone at ESPN thought it would be a good idea to bring Michigan native Marshall Mathers aka Eminem onto the broadcast.... the following is what occurred. Viewer discretion is advised...

Never Too Old for a Good Coloring Book


I had one of those moments, I just wanted to color. Where did this urge come from? I have no idea but dang it, I needed some new crayons and a good coloring book STAT. I had to go to two different places to even find a coloring book in small town, of all places it was Dollar General that had them and a brand spankin new box of crayons! 

Then a.Drama sent me a text that she had a present for me! Turns out it was a 5 books in one Disney Princess coloring book that she picked up in the big city! Score! She even picked one up for herself! 


So we spent our Friday night coloring Disney Princess's! Please... try not to be so jealous, you can go get your own coloring book and have a coloring night!

A Lovely Sunday



Sunday's have become the only "me" day I have lately. Six days a week and the gym has consumed most of my time, and I'm really perfectly ok with it, although I may complain a bit about going, once I get to the gym I'm ready to go. But Sunday not having to do anything and having a rest day is a good thing.

A rest day however does not mean you have to sit on your bottom! A.Drama and I ventured off to the big city to go to the mall and to get our nails done, and visit Target. Victoria's Secret had a very cute tote bag that I wanted to get but you had to spend $75 and I really couldn't justify spending that much money on some underwear and lounge pants, I have a bag/tote addiction. I kinda have a sunglasses obsession as of late too, I picked up two pair and an Audrey Hepburn canvas picture while we were at the mall too, because, well, why not! 

While we were on that wing of the mall, A.Drama alerted me to the fact that there was a claw machine and it had minions in it! I had to try, I'm kind of a claw master. Well on the first try I got me a Carl minion, adorbs! Sadly after a few dollars, the odds were just not in A.Drama's favor and she went home empty handed, and quite jealous of my fifty-cent stuffed minion. I'm sure she will get over it.... eventually.

Then we went and got our nails did. I mean really, how come I can never get my nails to look as shiny and nice as they do at the salon? I went for a light purple while A.Drama opted for a barely there pink color.

After our nails dried we headed to the mandatory Target appearance  I mean really even if we don't have anything to buy we have to stop in to check out what's new. My I-don't-need-anything-from-Target trip resulted in 3 new sports bras, a pair of exercise pants, silly putty and gum. Target.... gets me every time.




Hope you all had a great weekend! Have a Happy Monday!

It's the Humidity That'll Get Ya!

Here is a short post for today...

I took the day off, not for fun, but to help a brotha out. NiBo is switching roommates and moved from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor of the building next door to his current apartment he's off on Thursdays from work, hence the weekday move. So, drama, mom and I ventured down to the big city to help clean and move. Lucky fasha (dad) had a work excuse not to assist with this move. A few things I observed from today 1- Moving sucks 2- moving sucks even more in the heat! 

Of course all the sunshine was wasted during the morning move and by time we got back the clouds had settled in, but in some good news the 2nd annual mini pool paradise is up and running!! Here's a sneak peek...




Later this evening I was digging through the archives to find a good new picture for throw back Thursday, man was that some fun. Mom, drama and I all had more than a few laughs looking back through old pictures. There was a picture of dad wearing some short shorts back in the day, but he said that wasn't allowed, "No dad on throw back Thursday on the blog" well boo hiss, what a spoil sport. I still managed to get him in the picture though, he didn't say anything about family pictures ;) 

Keeping with the summer theme, here is our lovely family at the company's Play Day event, this is the good part of the family before it was spoiled with drama and NiBo.. just kidding... but really.. haha I kid, I kid.


This is one of my favorite pictures of just the three of us, I don't know if it's the fake beach background, the cooler of soda, or the fake lobster, but it just makes me smile. (and dad's kinda rockin some short shorts here) Mom's hair and dad's sideburns, I mean do the 80's get any better than this?

More, Less and Stop

More: 
- Blogging! I've been slacking, I'm ahead of last year but still need more! :)
- Live in the moment. Be in the now.
- Reading. Seriously, books are fun why don't I already read more.
- Exercise. I've been riding my bicycle, need to start walking/running.
- Focus. 
- Adventure.
- Outside the comfort zone.

Less: 
- Worrying (this could be difficult)
- Facebook- useless to just stare waiting for updates or something to occupy my time isn't it?
- TV. Summer TV isn't that great anyway. I'll save it for the weekends.
- Daydreaming at work, which would help with the more focus.
- Sugar. Having a sister who decorates cakes can be challenging at times. I LOVE CAKE!
- Full Throttles. They've become my crutch for sleeping mornings.
- Clutter. Need to get rid of some clothing taking up space and other general cluttering items.

Stop: 
- Biting my nails. I relapsed and now the urge is back :(
- Texting while driving. I know horrible bad habit, that's why it's a stop!
- Being scared. I freak myself out about trying new things because I'm chicken.
- Trying to convince gma that we need to adopt one of my Uncle's rescue kittens.
- self hate. I need to talk myself up not down.
- Over-analyzing. Like everything, just stop.
- Being lazy. It's so much easier but it needs to stop.

Who Has Two Thumbs and Spent Friday Night at Wal-Mart?



This girl! 

Oh Wal-mart.... no more really needs to be said. Surprisingly there weren't too many people of wal-mart out and about on a Friday night, I'm sure they were at the bar or trying to decide which pair of plaid pajama bottoms were the "going out" kind. 

No matter what store I'm in, I kinda have a method. My sister and I like to call it a perimeter check. Target is the best example of this but it works for Wal-mart too, you work the outside aisles first then circle back to the middle depending on where you want to spend your time, just trust me it works.

The main mission of our trip was cat food and mom had some things to pick up. I didn't have anything else planned so why not. Surprising that this mission actually had an objective because sometimes, hold your gasps, they go just for fun?!?! I promise you my gma can attract the crazies too, people will start to tell her their whole life story, she just has that kind of face I guess.

With nothing planned I managed to accomplish a few things. I finished up my co-workers Christmas gifts (please don't expect anything fancy, it's the thought that counts) and since I'm doing so well kicking the nail biting habit and have awesome long ladylike nails now and they've been bare since I removed my gel polish I had (I literally spent like 3 hours trying to carefully take it off myself, which I did manage to do with not too much damage to my nails. But it really does last for weeks) I thought some new polish was in order. I'm kind of a perfectionist and can't really do the whole left hand painting the right thing and it drives me nuts for it to look like the blind man down the street did it, so I thought I'd give the ole Sally Hansen polish sheet thingys a try.

They work pretty good, I think I did an ok application job. Although I don't think it will last too long for me. I didn't get the edges down good enough I guess and they are already starting to peel a bit, so it won't be long before it's gone I'm sure. But they sure do look purty. 


For the better part of a week I've been dealing with a nasty ear infection and haven't been able to hear in my right ear, if that isn't one of the MOST annoying ailments I'm not sure I know what is. So bad that I for the first time took myself to the 'Urgent Care' doctor. The giant of a man (not cute whatsoever) who looked in my ear actually said ewww, never a good sign when a doctor says eww. 2 weeks of antibiotics twice a day, I have yet to see an improvement but man I sure hope my hearing comes back soon. I think going deaf in one ear could drive a sane man nuts! 

Well I do believe I hear my bed calling my name. whew what a day, Wal-mart really takes a lot out of ya huh? Hope your Friday was as exhilarating as mine!  Check ya later!
