I Am The Reason We Can't Have Nice Things

Well, it's been quite the eventful past 24 hours. 

Let's start with last night.... I was painting some burlap signs for my mom for my brothers wedding. I was getting ready to head back to my apartment and set my laptop on some burlap on the counter. I turned my back for 2 seconds heard my sister scream and knew exactly what was happening. 

Basically I ended up with this 

Yeah, I SHATTERED my MacBook. 

Way to go Kylie! 

Then of course... I had a slightish break down. 

Luckily it was covered under Apple Care and my dad (who believes in nothing but online shopping and Costco) braved the mall TWICE in order to save my laptop. I was very impressed, it took Apple less than 5 hours to fix it. 

I ended up spending the night at my parents after everything went down and then my roomie came down in the morning and spent the day with us. 

The day was pretty much a normal day... Shopping, pretzel bites, shopping. 

fast forward to tonight. 

Got home and went to the gym. Of course there were stupid people there who insisted on messing around on the weights making it impossible for anybody else to actually do something productive. I ended up just running and then went back to my apartment and did my other stuff. 

Then naturally, we (being my roomie and myself) decided that since we worked out we definitely needed some BK shakes so off we went. 

We got back and couldn't find a parking spot. Lovely. This meant we were left parking out in front on the busy street. Most of the street was already filled with the lovely foreigners that call this place home... so I pull up and start parking. Well, there were some of those construction cones in my way so I made Jess get out and go move them. I forgot how heavy they actually are until I watched her try to move not one but two of them. Then one broke. So she threw it in a bush. Shhh, don't tell. 

Finally we ran across the street and I realized I forgot my card that lets me in the building. 

You should have seen my roomie's face. 

We walk, I guess it was more like run, over to the gym windows to see if there was anybody in there. Jess then did this little jumpy wave thing to get their attention. She kind of looked like this...

Minus being shirtless and the armpit hair. 

She didn't realize that they couldn't see her. 

I don't know why, but I found it hilarious and this resulted in chocolate shake about coming out my nose. It burned. We then had to bang on the window and it took the lady about five minutes before deciding to let us in. 

We then had to jaunt across the gym with our chocolate shakes in hand. 

On another note I still have no idea how I'm going to do my hair for my brother's wedding. 

I'm thinking this for Saturday. . . 

This for the reception in Washington. . .

and this for the reception here. . .

What do you think? 

Happy Humpday! 

Hold On To Your Teeth!

Okay are you ready for this? 

I'm talking some serious news here people! (Or at least in my little world it's headlining)

HOLD ON TO YOUR TEETH 

because. . . . 

HOCKEY SEASON STARTS IN 2 MONTHS. 

We're talking September 13 is the first home game of the season. And you can bet your blood stained jersey I'm gonna be there! As you can see I'm only slightly excited. 

How do you know when a leper is playing hockey? 

When there's a "face-off" in the corner. 

Okay. Not funny. 

But why do we love hockey? 

Exhibit A: 

HOT MEN!!!! 

and lastly. . . 

But really, if any of you bloggers out there know any hockey players and want to set me up.... I can guarantee I won't object. 

What sports are you guys obsessed with? 

Or am I the only crazed obsessed fan out there? 

Love you all!

Are you bored? 

Go here and read the customer reviews for this banana slicer. 

Hysterical! Okay, maybe it's just because it's late and I have nothing better to do.

But seriously. Read it. 

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

You know those certain things that you have a love hate relationship with? 

Here are mine. 

Reality TV: Let's get real. The majority of TV that I watch is reality. I love it. It's fun to watch and full of drama. And if we're being honest, it always makes me feel a little better about my own life. But half the time while I'm watching it, I constantly find myself wondering how can so much stupid be in one place!? (Teen Mom, Keeping Up with the Kartrashians, 16 and pregnant, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad... just to name a few.) There are some winners out there, let me tell ya. And how they all end up on TV is beyond me.  

Exhibits A, B, and C

Working out: I love it. I hate it. I mean, I love the way I feel after (thank you endorphins) and I know how good it is in the long term... but to expect me to drag my sorry butt out of bed before I have had a good 10 hours of sleep? HA! 

Weddings: Love that two people have found each other. Hate the drama that goes on behind the scenes. Basically, when I find my Mr. Perfect ... we're eloping. End of story. 

The Olympics: Don't get me wrong, I love watching the olympics and I am totally team USA. We have some amazing athletes out there, but when I see these 14 and 15 year olds up there winning gold medals it makes me feel like I've accomplished nothing. More power to em' but man I wish I were that awesome! 

School: As far back as I can remember when a was just a wee lil' girl, school and I have always had a love hate relationship. Love it cause it keeps me busy and gives me something to do but I hate it cause it gets old real fast. Hopefully fall semester will be kind to me. Fingers crossed. 

Hoarders: More specifically the show Hoarders. I absolutely hate watching it as it makes me gag and lose my appetite for a good five minutes. (kidding about the 5 minutes) But on the love side... It disgusts me enough that I clean like a mad woman after. No exaggeration, it makes me want to go through EVERYTHING and throw anything out I don't have a use for. It is my worst fear of living in a place like that. Bleck! 

What do you have a love hate relationship with? 

These Happy Days

You know how when you're going through a rough patch you get all discouraged? 

And then something (big or little) happens and snaps you back to the reality that you're really just fine? 

I forgot what that's like until a few days ago. I've been so busy lately that it's been somewhat like I'm coasting on autopilot. Well I'm happy to say that I had a wake up call and life is good. Really good. It's amazing what a change in perspective can do.
