I'm going to start this off by saying that right now stress is still pretty high for me. A few more things have been coming up and I am just starting to look at a few different options that I don't know if I will be able to do or not.
The biggest one is the idea of where I am going to live next year. I have been stressing over who am going to live with and it still just is not yielding any sort of response. So lately I have been thinking about something completely different. I am thinking about moving back into the apartment where I lived when I was still married because I could be alone and I could have my cats. The problem with that idea though is the fact that the apartments themselves really aren't that great, but honestly it might be better than not having anywhere to go at all. I also canceled two of my subscription boxes because I was thinking that I will need a little bit of extra money if I am going to move there, plus I really do need the extra money even if I don't move and maybe I will subscribe again in the future when I have more money.
So, that is something that I am having to think about right now. Also the end of the semester is coming up and so everything school wise is starting to become a bigger mess. I know that I will make it through all of it and come out in a good place at the end, but still its a mess.
Really there isn't much else going on right now with anything and I didn't really have anything else to talk about so I guess that this is all I have to put today. Quote time!

Once again almost a month has gone by since I last posted and I don't know what I have done because I am really bad about that.
The things I can think about right now are the fact that all I have been doing still is working because my boss had her baby a little over a week ago so I am back to working about 28-29 hours a week and it is really starting to wear on me, but I still have like four or five weeks until she even gets back. I am also starting to stress out about school stuff because there are a lot of things that I need to get done in the next few weeks and it is stressing me out.
I also am in need of a new roommate because mine is moving out at the end of the school year and I currently have absolutely no idea who is going to live there and that is probably stressing me out the most along with working so much.
Honestly I don't even know what to talk about in this post. All I can think of doing lately has been I received my two new subscription boxes (Try The World and Yogi Surprise) and so far I love them. I am planning on making dinner next Wednesday with some of the things that came in the Try The World box and Brendan and I will have a nice Moroccan dinner! And also Brendan and I went to Pizza Hut last night because I just wanted pizza and I needed to go to Walmart and get some thing like coolant and power steering fluid because my car hates everything!
Other than those things all I know is that Cartel concert is two weeks from today and that is super exciting for me, I am being inducted into Psi Chi coming the 13th of this month which is the National Honor Society for Psychology, and I don't know anything else!

Wow, I am the absolute worst blogger ever! I haven't been on here in almost two months. I have been so busy though and every single time I think about getting on to type a post I realize something else that I have to do that is of more importance. I mean really who reads this blog anyway other than it just being a personal recap of my life. No one really cares. Anyway, for my own pleasure here are things I haven't spoken about because I haven't been here:
I am pretty sure that is about all I have to talk about. So, as usual... Quote time.

- Brendan and I had our one year anniversary on January 31!
- We went to The Bleu and had an amazing dinner and it was just a fabulous night.
- Also he loved the scrapbook that I made for him and he got me a gorgeous necklace which I absolutely love as well.
- We spent Valentines Day being awesome
- Lunch at Hardees
- Lots of Guild Wars 2, which was my gift to him. I bought it myself so I could play with him, and now I love it all on my own.
- Made homemade pizza for dinner and I made a heart on top of it out of oregano... It was fantastic.
- I have worked A LOT! I have been working about 27-29 hours a week for the last oh about two months or so and that's a little bit insane. I have been working at a store that isn't mine every single Friday for that amount of time, tomorrow will be my last day having to work there though.
- I bought tickets to two more concerts... Cartel and Pointfest. Oh! I also won a VIP pass to Warped Tour as well this summer. I wasn't planning on going but now I am because it is free!
- I also went to another concert! Big surprise right? It was Motion City Soundtrack with William Beckett and Brick + Mortor. I went with Hannah and it was an awesome night, we had Steak 'N Shake after the concert. Here are some pictures before I move on, sorry that they kind of suck, I have shaky hands.

- I signed up for two more monthly subscription boxes. One is another food box and the other is a yoga box. I haven't received the first one of each yet but I'm excited to do so! I am still getting Love With Food every month too which is super exciting because I really love it.
- Speaking of yoga, I bought a yoga mat! It came yesterday so I started using it. I am really hoping to start doing yoga as a regular thing. I think it'll be good for me to do!
- Brendan and I went to IHOP at 9:30 last night, which was fun. We haven't done a late IHOP run in a while.

Well this year isn't starting out like last year did with posting all the time but that's okay, I still am going to make and effort to do so for this year and hopefully for years to come even though I won't be posting all the time it is still a way to remember stuff that was done.
Anyway, school started back Monday so with it now being Friday that means that already we have a week of the spring semester under our belts which I guess is kind of exciting. Brendan came back last Saturday and then on Sunday we went to see the last movie in the Hobbit movies which was really exciting and then for dinner we went to Olive Garden which was delicious! (Even though I did just have a brain fart because I had to ask where we even went and what day it was on).
Anyway other than that everything has just been class and work even though it feels like I haven't really even worked at all though I don't know why. Last night at work was a struggle though becaue we were really busy because they had dinner in the field house rather than in the cafeteria at school so lots of the students came down to Subway for dinner instead. I still got out of there on time but it just was a really long night. Also yesterday I got my third Love With Food box which is always and excitement because you never know what you are going to get in them. I even had the Kettle Cooked Apples out of it and black tea this morning and carried my tea all the way to class because I had not finished it and I didn't want to waste it since it was good!
Tomorrow Brendan and I are going to go have dinner and also buy him some new shoes that aren't tennis shoes so that he has shoes for when we go on our anniversary date that look nicer. Iam realy excited. It seems kind of crazy that we have been together for a year come fifteen days from now! I can't wait to give him his present and also see what he got for me!
Welp, I have nothing else to say so I guess that it is quote time.

Well, it's a new year! I didn't write every single day in this blog last year and I obviously won't this year since it is already the third day of the year and I hadn't wrote anything until today. Its been since before Christmas that I blogged even because I suck, there have been lots of days that I planned to but then didn't. So in this blog I am going to write about my few days with Brendan and New Years Eve with him, but I will also just bullet a few other things about Christmas and such.
Then on Tuesday we woke up and had breakfast, then just watched some Netflix before having my leftover chicken alfredo with mushrooms from the night before for lunch. After that we ended up going to Ted Drewe's which was fantastic. I had something called The Giant Pumpkin and it was vanilla custard with a piece of pumpkin pie mixed in (crust and all) and whipped cream on top, it was fantastic and he had an Oreo concrete! After that Brendan and I went bowling which was fun because I don't think that I have been bowling since I was like a sophomore in high school which was like five years ago and that is a little bit insane! I beat him on our first game but then he ended up beating me the next two games. After that we went back to his house for a while before going to The Trainwreck for dinner. I should have ordered a bison burger but instead just got a regular one and it was good still so I'm not going to complain.
Wednesday we didn't really do anything until around four-thirty when we left to go over to Brendan's dad's house. I had taken a short little nap before that because I knew otherwise I was not going to make it to midnight and that was not acceptable on New Year's Eve! Anyway we went over there and put our stuff in the room for the night because his step mom wasn't home yet and then we just watched some TV and sat in the living room with his dad and little brother Gus. Pretty soon Kelly came home and made her little appetizer before we left for Brendan's aunt's house which was where we were going to have the New Year's Eve party.
It has been since Good Friday since I saw any of Brendan's dad side of the family. I really love all his family both his mom and grandma and all of his dad's side of the family. It was good though because it was nice to see them all and they said it was nice to see me again as well and gave hugs and talked. I feel right at home with his family and they make me smile and I can laugh and talk without feeling awkward around any of them. Anyway the night consisted of eating and laughing and playing games and it was just lots of fun to spend time with them for New Year's Eve because if I had been at home I wouldn't have been doing anything. I ate way too much that that is okay because it was a good time and all the food was delicious especially the crescent roll crab ragoon that Kelly made, mmmmm! IT was the best New Year's Eve that I have had in a LONG time!
We got back home around one and then Brendan and I fell asleep around one-thirty finally. I woke up at nine and didn't get him to wake up until almost ten. We laid in bed for a few minutes before getting up and then sitting in the living room. Kelly made pecan cinnamon roll pancakes for breakfast (even though it was almost eleven) and they were delicious with a cream cheese frosting. After that we went back to Brendan's house and I left at almost four.
I stopped at my mom's house instead of driving all the way back home and then decided to get up and go home the next day for work. It is always nice to be able to stay there sometimes.
Now today I worked and then I have come home and all I have done is watch Law and Order: SVU with Sara. I think that I am going to have cereal for dinner because I am crazy and don't want to cook and it just sounds good.
School starts in nine days and I am ready to see people but not ready to get back into classes but that's okay. Anyway, it is quote time...
"We need people in our lives with whom we can be as pen as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious statement, but it involves courage and risk." - Thomas Moore
- On the 20th I went to my step-dad's family Christmas
- On the 21st I went to my dad's family Christmas
- I went home on Christmas Eve after working until 7:30
- Woke up Christmas morning and opened presents with my mom and step-dad
- I got a new jacket from Forever21, new TOMS boots, a new Christmas ornament, along with lots of candy, some bathroom stuff, and a few other things from them.
- We went to my aunt's house for mom's family Christmas later that day which was fun. I don't get to see them very often either. I also found out when my cousin is getting married this year which is exciting. We also played Trivia Crack as a family which was hilarious.
- I got to see Chad again on the 26th! I missed my best friend a ton, which is never a surprise and we had a lot of fun just having a late lunch/early dinner at the Chinese restaurant which us having fun talking and spending time together is also never a surprise.

I am sorry I have been neglecting you blog, I'm horrible. Anyway, it has been almost a month since I last wrote and because of that I am just going to talk about the few things that I can think of.
On the ninth of December I spent some time with Hannah. We were going to hang out earlier but she didn't wake up until later. It wasn't that much of a deal though because I honestly had nothing to do that day. It was nice to spend time with her before school ended. We even watched Alice in Wonderland after we got home.
Anyway, after that I don't think there was much that I can think of that happened other than Brendan and I exchanged gifts between each of us. It was really cute he got me the Doctor Who K-9 slippers that I wanted and also a waffle maker and Brendan liked his three gifts that I got him (well I made one of them). Then last Friday after we had both finished all of our finals (which by the way I got an A on all of them and kept my A's in all of my classes!) we went on our own date before he went home for the break.
We went on a date to Ingredient and had some spectacular burgers. I had one with avocado, pepper jack and provolone cheeses, bacon, and mayo on it and it was the best burger I have had in a while. Brendan got one with bacon, onions, mayo, guacamole, cheddar and Swiss cheese and his was pretty good too! Then after that we went to the Magic Tree. It was probably one of the best gifts that we have had in a long time and I was really excited to be able to do so. I am already missing him now, but it will be okay I know that because I am going to get to go see him on New Year's Eve. I haven't spent time with people for a while and I am pretty excited to get to do so.
Anyway, today I worked this morning and then I went to Walmart just so that I could get the last few gifts that I needed to for Christmas. Sara and I watched Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family tonight. This weekend I have two different Christmas parties with family to go to so that will be fun but I have to get through two more days of work on Wednesday and Thursday before then. I'll make it. I can't wait to go home on Friday though!
Well, honestly this was a rather shitty blog post my apologies. Here's a quote:

November 17, 2014;
I have had a busy couple of days since I last posted nine days ago or so. Not really anything specific that I have been busy with I just feel like I have been busy. One of the people I work with is quitting and he is the one who usually opens on the weekends and since he is leaving and I am one of the only ones who was ever trained to open so that is what I get to do on the weekend. I actually really don't mind it seeing as I used to work 6-2 shifts when I still worked at Hardees so mornings really don't bother me even when I stay up later.
Anyway, it was also supposed to snow this last weekend, but that did not happen at all we had snow flurries both yesterday and today but no accumulation so that's fun it has just been unreasonably cold and I am not appreciating it. I know I shouldn't be complaining about it already because it is only going to get worse but oh well. I will survive I guess I just do not like cold weather it is a close second in my least favorite weather only because it is easier to cover up than take off enough layers like in the summer when it is hot as heck!
On Friday Brendan and I went on a date like we usually do. Since my hours have been cut lately though which sucks he was a sweetheart and paid for it all because he has moneys and I don't. We went to The Mud Room and painted again which is always really fun. I got to paint a cute little owl mug which I can not wait to see on Wednesday when we go to pick them up. He just went crazy with a mug. Then we went to... wait for it because this is going to sound like a weird date restaurant... Hooters for dinner. I know it sounds crazy but I have really wanted wings and I wanted to go there and try them and even while that place can be very derogatory against women they still have some spectacular food and I can't deny that. I was seriously one of the like four women who was there eating, it was kind of strange but again I say the food was really good and its whatever. It isn't somewhere that I would want to go all the time but it was a nice change from just like sit down in a booth and have a semi-fancier meal. I am not going to complain about it, it wasn't like we went to a strip club or something.
Anyway this week I only worked tonight and I don't work again until Saturday which is really weird and then it's Thanksgiving Break. This is insane because after this week we only have one more week of classes and then we have finals! I don't know how this whole semester when so fast! I have a paper due this Friday and I really need to finish the book before I can start on it, maybe I should get on that. Also today I received my first Love With Food box, I was so excited about it. Seriously this is one of the most awesome things ever around eight snacks that I get to try every single month and on box equal one meal to someone who is hungry in America.
On that note I will go listen to some music and read some. Here is a quote: "Maybe you just have live for the small things like being called pretty or someone picking up the pen you dropped or laughing so hard that your stomach hurts. Maybe that's all that really matters at the end of the day." - Tianna Kavanagh
