Well, I know I said that I would be going on a hiatus, but it turns out that after fiddling around with my computer some I believe that I am able to use it.  I haven't had anything else come up on it again and nothing is found when scans have been run so that is an absolute plus.  I am still taking it home tomorrow so that my mom can take a look at it but I think it is fine.  I am at least going to type up the post about yesterday and today, I think that will be alright.

Anyway yesterday was definitely an awesome day after I had fallen asleep at like two in the morning for some reason I ended up waking up at eight.  I wandered around in the house for a minute and sat down on the couch only to realize that I was still unbelievably tired o I went back to be and slept until like 9:45.  Once I finally dragged my happy butt out of bed I folded all of my laundry (amazing right?) and got dressed... because one of my best friends was coming!!!

After folding all my laundry and getting dressed I actually went outside while I was waiting for Chad to get here.  I even encountered a fight between a female cardinal and a squirrel. It was a pretty intense thing and I am pretty sure that the cardinal won because the squirrel took off across the yard after finally getting off the trunk of the tree.  I actually got a few pictures of the squirrel while he was hanging out on the tree trunk trying to escape from the cardinal after they moved out of the top of the tree. 

Chad got here around 11:30 or so (after driving past my house once before realizing where it was, even though I was sitting on the front porch - he claims he didn't see me and couldn't see the tree because of the sign because of a tree) and we didn't plan on heading to lunch until about 12 or 12:15 so until then I just showed him around the not so exciting house we have here.  We also looked at some yearbooks from the years that we graduated high school and talked about some of the people we knew and where other people where before heading out to go get sushi.

Now sushi is something that Chad and I have spoken about many times before but never have been able to go get.  I mean it is difficult to do so when he lives almost eighteen hours away from me and I never get to see him, and the last time that we met was on a Sunday and the place is closed on Sundays.  Anyway I fumbled around with my chopsticks as usually (actually worse than usual) when I was eating salad and I feel like Chad was silently making fun of me but that's fine.  He got the roll named Rainbow and I got the Yummy, though these names mean nothing to anyone who has never seen the menu for this place but that's alright because I just love the names.

When the check came he picked it up which caused me to ask what he was doing and him replying that he was paying for it (which I still don't think that he needed to do even though he said he had money, but I knew better than to argue because I knew that it would be no good at all to even try.)  We talked a little bit more - I stole his water because I had drank all mine and he had Pepsi too so I didn't care.  He made a joke about that was not nice and how our lips have never touched before so I couldn't do that and I just rolled my eyes and drank his water and then we left when we both finished our drinks.  We ended up at Petsmart just because we could, and we looked at all the little reptiles, birds, rodents, and kitties! There was even a turtle, I want a turtle he was so cute!

Anyway, we headed back to Fayette after that, well after having to wait in the car for like ten minutes because stupid people can park worth crap and we couldn't get could because of them so we had to wait around until they left to escape and then we just went back to the house.  We connected my phone to the YouTube on our smart TV so that we could find and play videos the stupid thing wouldn't let us play from the TV itself.  I will admit that I am always amused by the videos that he shows me because absolutely no one else knows them and I wouldn't find them on my own.  Also, he was pleased by some of Hank Green's jokes in four minutes videos that he has which made me happy.

Right before he left he criticized that our syrup says 'pancake' syrup not maple syrup, and how we couldn't use it on waffles because that would be INSANE (whatever Chad!) and then he left after imitating how a squirrel runs when we were outside and I was talking about the fight I'd seen earlier.  We shared a nice hug before he left since who knows how long it will be before we see each other again.  We will talk to each other every single day but physically seeing each other is a completely different story seeing as there was a six month gap almost between this time and last. 

I didn't really do anything after that but I am definitely proud to call him one of my best friends and I hope that never changes.  I really don't know what I would do without him because he is such an amazing friend and the conversations that we have never cease to amaze me and I love him to death for always being here and I will always be here for him too.

Then today I didn't do anything except for sat around the house and watched Netflix until I went to my work meeting at three until four.  Then Sara and I ran to Wal-Mart really quick and then came back to chill around until I went to work again at 6:30 to close.  It was a somewhat stressful night and for some freaking reason it was even hotter than normal tonight and I was about to sweat to death by the time that I got to go home.  I was so glad to take a shower and now I am watching Lovely Molly on Netflix before going to bed.  I hope that it doesn't make it difficult for me to sleep because it is a scary movie and I am watching it alone... I guess we will have to see.

I am back with a quote again today since I am back on my computer!

So, I am sad to say I probably will be on a short hiatus from my blog. Not because I want to, but before I have a computer virus. I have no idea how I managed to download it or where it came from but I need to get it fixed and posting from my phone is more difficult than I want to mess with for long posts like I usually do.

Before I go though I woulove to inform anyone that things are going good. I had a great weekend with my boyfriend this last weekend and I can't wait to see him the 25th of July for what we will be celebrating his birthday (19th) my birthday (26th) and our six month anniversary (31st). It will be lovely.

Also tomorrow I am going to eat lunch with my friend Chad who I have mentioned in the blog way back early on. This weekend Isaac is coming home to hang with Sara and I (even though I close at work both Saturday and Sunday). Then a final thing is Vans Warped Tour is a week and a day away! I am so excited to go and get to spend more time with my lovely friend Brittani and possibly her boyfriend.

Anyway these next couple of weeks are going to be great. And again I hope it won't be too long before I can get my computer going again because this long of a post even on my phone was a pain. Though if something important enough happens I'll be sure to post even if I have to suffer the phone! (:

Sadly no quote for the first time in this blog's history... Insane I know. My apologies.

Since the last post I made about deleting Facebook I haven't been on there but maybe once or twice and during that time I only skimmed for about three minutes and then left.  I didn't realize that it really was going to be that easy to get away from Facebook and have absolutely no problem at all.

Also Sara and I finished all of season two of Orange is the New Black.  I won't spoil anything because I have no idea who actually looks at this blog and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who is watching, but I do have to say that I was very surprised about the end of the season and I really enjoyed it.  Now we are watching season four of Pretty Little Liars. Every time we are both home we are continuing to watch this show.  We have made it through ten episodes in two days.  I guess that means you could say we have been binge watching like crazy.

Today is my last day off and have to work for the next four days at least.  I will have to see what the schedule looks like whenever I work and its up. 

Anyway has been a relaxing day.  Sara and I woke up and we decided that we were going to mow the yard.  Well, when our mower decided that it wasn't going to be a real mower and would stop basically every other pass we gave up.  There wasn't anything even caught in the blades the damn thing just wanted to quit every two minutes so we have one little area in the back mowed and the rest still looks like a disaster.  We have to get someone to mow it hopefully soon.

After that happened we went and got a powerade and diet Coke and then just took a little scenic drive out in the country down a couple of roads.  When we got back we did dishes, we ate lunch which was the end of our leftover balsamic roast beef sandwiches and we watched two or three more episodes of Pretty Little Liars before she had to get ready and so did I.  Her and Donald went to a rehearsal dinner that they are playing at the wedding for tomorrow and I was going to see a movie.

Around 3:00 or a little earlier I ran to Casey's got some peach rings to sneak into the movie theater (because I am an awful person who wanted peach rings and they don't have them and even if they did they would have cost a crap ton of money), then I drove to Moberly to meet Susan and some others to see The Fault In Our Stars at 4:15.  I have to say that that movie was one of the best movies that was originally from a book.  Also the fact that the movie cost way less than most movies to to make and it beat out so many other movies grossing at the box office last weekend is pretty incredible.  I am so amazed by it that if I had the chance I would definitely go and see it again and even spend the money to do so.  I cried for about half of it and had mascara and eyeliner wiped all over my face by the time it was all over but it was 100% worth it and I am so glad that I was able to go.

I got home and ate some mashed potatoes, did the biggest loser work out on the Wii and then took a shower.  I am now just sitting on the floor watching Everybody Loves Raymond and typing up this blog post while I wait for Sara to get home.  I work at 3:30 tomorrow and it will probably end up being a long day because it is supposed to be nice outside and I work for seven hours alone. 

I guess that we will see.  Anyway, I am going to spend the rest of my night just relaxing, watching Netflix and browsing around on Tumblr so I will leave you with my final quote as I usually do.

This blog post will be all about some of the reasons that I have decided that I am going to delete my Facebook for good.  This is something that I actually never have really thought about until the last couple of days.  Recently my best friend has decided that he is deleting his Facebook and he made a video about the reasons that he was planning on deleting his.  Some of these reasons made me realize that I have to agree with him.

I'll just start this list:

•   It takes up so much of my time.
• He mentioned how every single time he opens an internet browser he goes straight to Facebook, and then he'll think of something to do and then open a browser and will go BACK to Facebook and forget what he was doing.
• I agree with this 100% seriously.  I mean I have my homepage on my internet browser SET to Facebook.  I don't even know why, but I can't open a new browser without feeling the need to look at what is happening even if it is just something that I have already seen or something that is going to make me annoyed, which leads me to reason number two.
• Most posts don't even interest me.
• Way too often I see things that are on my Facebook that I am just like, I DON'T CARE! I really either just get annoyed or just scroll right past. Yeah, sometimes I see things like OH SOMEONE GOT ENGAGED or SOMEONE IS HAVING A BABY! Yeah, those things are really exciting, but I feel like if I am close enough with the people I am going to know those things anyway. 
• Facebook just causes drama sometimes that I really don't enjoy seeing.  I don't care who is in a fight with who or enjoy seeing people calling others bad names just because they are mad at someone who more than likely the next day they are going to be showing love and affection toward.  I am sick of that.
•  I talk to most people outside of Facebook anyway.
• I have family on Facebook, but I learn more things through my mom who I call or text all of the time or from my dad quite often.  I mean yeah there are some things that I can learn from Facebook that I might not learn for a couple days later, but still.
• All of the friends that I have and REALLY care about most of them I talk to outside of Facebook as well. I mean yeah, there are a few people who I don't talk to anywhere else, but I am planning on making it so that I can keep in contact with them outside of Facebook after I delete my account.  
• Privacy settings are getting a little ridiculous. 
• Now this is a subject I don't really know how to discuss, but I do know that some of the things just aren't the same.  You have to go through so many more steps just to hide things from other people, and it really shouldn't be.  Nothing online is secret anymore and I really thing that is not acceptable and Facebook is just getting worse and worse.

So, for now I will still continue to have my Facebook at least for the next month.  The only reason that I am keeping it for that long is because I want to make sure that I have all of the contact information for the people that I want to have.

After it is gone though I will still have other means of contact and other places that I am online.

E-mail: Ask me on Facebook before it's gone
Phone: Ask me on Facebook before it's gone

This is something that I believe is going to be the best for me both in the short and long run.  I think that in no time I am going to feel like something has been lifted off of my shoulders and it will all just end up being the best choice that I made.  I might miss a few things, but I doubt it.

Last night was the worst nights sleep that I have had in such a long time.  We were having some bad storms and I woke up twice because of that.  The first time was because my stupid phone has alerts that usually don't go off well last night mine decided to go off not for a storm warning or anything but instead a stupid flood warning like seriously? That was at 3:30 took about ten minutes to go back to sleep.  The second time was at 4:30 because there was a crack of lightning so loud that I feel like it could have woken the dead! I almost fell out of my bed it was so loud and scared me.  It woke both Sara and I both up and so we got up and went to the living room and waited until it died down a little while we watched TV.  I also woke up at 5:20 because of a bad dream, but I went back to sleep pretty quickly after that. 

The rest of this day has been pretty useless.  All I really have done today was lay around on the couch and watch Lie To Me, talk to some people, and read on my computer.  I am trying to finish this book that I'm reading by the 10th because I am reading it as a part of a book club for Nerdfighteria.  I actually really am enjoying it even though it is non-fiction and non-fiction is something that hasn't ever interested me even when I was younger.  The only things I liked to read non-fiction were things about animals and sometimes those books or articles bored me. I have never unless required read a non-fiction that was over 200 pages long.  Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo though is something completely different.  It makes me think about how things could be so much worse and you get an insight into other peoples lives and how much they struggle during some situations but also find little joys in some small things that other people would just take for granite like clean water.  It is just an astonishing book and I would actually suggest it to other people, which like I said is something I never would have used to do with a non-fiction book ever in my entire life until right now!

I had a sandwich for lunch and then some spaghetti with olive oil and spices for dinner.  I have talked on the phone with both my boyfriend and my mom.  I also ran to Casey's just so I could buy myself some apple juice because it sounded really really good! Now again I am just laying on the couch watching Lie to Me, Sara will be home soon, and in a little bit I will probably read some more of my book so that I can finish it since I have about 100 pages left still and then I will talk to my boyfriend a little bit on either Skype of the phone again.  I really don't have that exciting of a life.  Though one reason I didn't do anything tonight was because I thought that I might have to go to work for an hour but I ended up not having too which I really don't mind.

I cannot believe that I haven't wrote on here for half a month.  I really don't even know everything that has happened since then to be 100% honest.  I know that I have seen my boyfriend another time and during that time over Memorial weekend we went to paint at the Mud Room (which I get to go pick up our items this week and I am so excited to see them) and we also went to see the movie Neighbors which was really really funny.

I also know that I have been working basically the maximum hours that I can at work most weeks and I am busy with that most of the time as long as just doing things around the house.  I know that I am missing so many things that have happened and I really hope nothing else is really exciting that I am missing.

Last night Sara and I went to a 10:15 showing of A Million Ways to Die in the West, I have to say that it was actually pretty funny.  I am not surprised from what I saw on the the trailer that I watched earlier that day.  We also grabbed some frozen yogurt which is like the third time that I have had any in the last month and a half which is kind of ridiculous but it is really the truth.

Wow, this is a really lame post. I don't know how many people really do read these but I hope that I will start doing a better job.  It's just that I don't really get on my computer, I check everything on my phone, anymore and so I never really think about posting a blog post.  I will do a little better soon I hope.  The only reason I really thought to type tonight was because I was posting two things on my food blog. 

I don't have anything else to say today besides the fact that I saw Danielle today which was nice.  I will finish tonight out watching the rest of Burlesque and then get some sleep because I work tomorrow at ten in the morning tomorrow. So as usual, I will finish this post out with a quote as usual.
