Helloooooooooo!!!!!!

Fair warning: I have absolutely no idea what this post is going to be about. I just felt called to update the cyberworld. (Is it cyber world or cyberworld?)

Anywho, lots of changes coming up in my life! I'll actually have interesting stuff to write about for a change! Yay!

But first, I feel I owe you an apology. I promised to put up pictures of my Lady Gaga outfit and failed to do so. Let me just say, this costume definitely blew last year's out of the water (which wasn't that hard to do), but it also helped me win in a category of the costume contest! (Which is a bit harder to do, except that I practically went around campaigning during the whole party and I don't think anyone really cared so they probably just voted for me to shut me up.)

I know. I should be hanged for that last run-on sentence. But I don't care. I hated grammar in school. So :P to grammar! Wow I need to focus!

How about I just shut up and show you a picture now?

Yay! Here I am. And here's the layout:

- Circle scarf: Red material from walmart sewn together

- Wig from Party City

- Fingerless gloves from Hot Topic

- Dress from consignment store with tulle material sewn on at the bottom.

- Tights from Hot Topic

- Boots from Bakers

- Setting: My country home complete with a scarecrow picture on the left. :)

Below is a close-up of the makeup I did myself thanks to a youtube tutorial.

Okay, well, I totally planned on making this blog longer and more interesting and informative, but I am going to be late for work. So unfortunately I have to go.

Really quick though. The fun news is that I'm moving to Orlando in a week! Whoo! More on that later. But I promise it will be sooner rather than later. See ya!

P.S. I came across some laundry baskets having a little bit too much fun on top of a running washing machine, if you catch my drift. Just thought it was odd and felt like sharing.

P.P.S. My thumb is bleeding.

P.P.P.S. The last half of this post won't edit properly. Gah! Now I really am going to be late.

Free at last!

So, today was international Suit Up day. It was in honor of the character, Barney Stinson, on How I Met Your Mother. (Awesome show!)




I kind of cheated, though. I was planning on wearing my slacks that I wear for work, but they got messy because I worked the night before. ( I work at a movie theater and cleaning those concession machines are no joke!) So instead, I decided to just suit up halfway. I wore jeans and a t-shirt and then threw a blazer on. Hey, at least I tried!

The biggest part of my day was definitely the Chile miner rescue, though! I'm so happy that CNN had live coverage of it! I loved getting to clap and cheer with the miners and their families. I mean that literally. I was actually sitting in my living room clapping and cheering. And that's not even the best part. After the 33rd miner came to the surface my mom and I ran out to the front porch and shouted "Chi! Chi! Chi! Le! Le! Le!" Haha. Luckily, our neighbors are all silent hermits that never come outside so I doubt anyone heard us. I couldn't imagine being stuck half a mile under the surface for 69 days! It's truly a modern miracle that they all came out safely after all that time. I vote that this day, October 13th, be declared a national holiday: Miner Appreciation Day! Now if only I could find some miners in America to appreciate. If there are any miners reading this post right now, know that I am very thankful for all of your efforts. Oh, no wait. It's actually October 14th now. Well, know that I appreciated you ten minutes ago.

Have you ever noticed how awesome the song "Footloose" is? Oh! And "Red, Red Wine"! They both just came on and I am feelin' the groove!

Going to bed now! I need to think of a better sign off for the future. I'll keep you updated. Goodnight!

Note to self: Never use the phrase "feelin' the groove" again. Ever. And "Another One Bites the Dust" is an awesome song too.

About that . . .

One thing I forgot to mention about this new blog facelift. I have no idea why the header at the top (no duh. where else would it be?) is so big. If anyone has any idea how to make it smaller I would be more than happy to hear how to do such a thing. For now, you all will just have to work your lazy fingers and scroll down the page.

Anywho, let's talk Halloween! I'm pretty excited about this year's costume! Last year's costume was kind of a disaster for me, so I was determined to succeed this year! My last costume went from a plan to be Marie Antoinette and somehow turned into an 18th century barmaid with Elf ears. That's honestly the best way I can describe it. I wish I had a picture!

But this year I am going as somebody awesome! Just as bizarre, but awesome! That's right, ladies and gents. I am going to be . . .




A giant mop! Or rather, the person inside of the giant mop. Lady Gaga! My outfit's not going to be quite that crazy. I'm mainly just going to include a bunch of little things that represent Lady Gaga, such as the blonde hair and the lightning bolt makeup. It's turning out great so far! Just a little bit more risque than I'm used to. Basically, it's what normal people wear for fun, seeing as I'm pretty conservative when it comes to my outfits. I'll be sure to post a picture of the completed outfit.

Weelllll, it's getting to be way too late for a person that has a morning class so I think I'm gonna call it a night. And why won't this stupid bug leave me alone?! Gaah!

Sorry. There's a bug flying around my computer screen. So much for not letting the bed bugs bite. One dry joke too many. Sorry. Adieu!

Ta Da!

Hello once again! What do you think of the new facelift for the blog? It's a little more girly than I'm used to, but I think it's kind of fun! I'm off to a bible study, but I just wanted to introduce the new page. I'll be back on later!

Progress! (kinda)

Greetings fellow cyber folk! My apologies for not having written in awhile. I'd like to say I've been busy flying to England or having a fashion show, but that is not the case. I've just been lazy.

Actually, I have been reading more of the Bible. I'm working on reading all of the new testament for now. I'm still in Matthew, but I'm getting close to Mark so yay progress! Also, I purchased a book on how to sew, but I haven't actually tried to sew just yet. That's probably about the most progress I've made on my life list so far. But at least it's something.

Anywho, I have this whole coming up weekend off of work, so I really want to try and do some things to further these goals. I figure I'll work on sewing a little bit, but other than that, I'm not sure what to do. Hmmm . . . Maybe I can do more research for getting my children's book published. I guess I will just have to see. Well, wish me luck and I hope to report back with more interesting news soon! Goodnight and farewell for now cyberspace!

My Life List

That's right. You read the title correctly. I am making a life list full of my dreams and desires, and I am going to strive to make them happen. Meanwhile, I will blog about how my progress is going and share any exciting stories or frustrations. This list will not be a complete one, but I will add things as I go along. Feel free to message me if you want to share any of your goals or need encouragement and any encouragement from the readers would be much appreciated. I hope I show enough confidence and perseverance to complete most of these goals, but no matter what happens, "It's not about the finish, it's about the journey" or however that quote goes. Cliche, I know, but true nonetheless. Wish me luck!
