DISTRACTION & LAUGHTER

Supposed to be finishing a paper...

Instead I've spent the last 2ish hours laughing with

the Sister-Cousin.

Apparently we collectively can't work a webcam :)

Insert Blonde Joke here.

SICKLY

Woke up Sunday SICK SICK SICK.

[via]

I have so much I need to get done this week...
that's a lie.

I have a shitton of school work I need to get done by Wednesday at 530.
FML to the max.

I cannot believe I'm this sick.

DAMMIT 4 hours of sleep!
It's now finally catching up to me.

RIGHT NOW

Trying to figure a few lot of things out in my life right now.

I may be taking a break--I just haven't decided what to do.

FREE TIME, FUN TIME

Where has my free time been going lately?

Free time? When and where I do I find it in my crazy ass schedule you ask?
I know that you're asking this question, I ask myself this question often.

I'll let you in on a little secret...

In addition to being part Mexican (you know, because hot sauce runs through my veins all thanks to my birthing in the small town of Yuma, Az--all of .2 miles from the border) I am also part magician. My uncle LeRoy, twice removed, was married to one of those ladies who would get sawed in half by Harry Houdini. 

 [ This is most definitely a lie--I just wanted to be honest with you loyal readers... as for all of you first time readers, I don't feel bad leading you on right now:

Thanks to my uncle LeRoy's wife I'm part magician :) ]

Getting to the point, when I need a little extra time I just tap into my magician heritage and make the free time magically appear out of thin air. It's a pretty awesome magic trick if I may say so. When I finally get my free time to appear, I tend to find myself at places where freakishly nice, tall, and funny guys frequent. Or I just wait for them to come into the liquor store, heckle me, then agree to go out with them :)

Enter my evening with MNG, aka Mister Nice Guy... yeup, that's going to be his handle from here on out (on both da blog and on my twitter).
I made the executive decision on the nickname today.
I find it very fitting.


Last night was overall a pretty great night.
If you were following my tweets (like you should be) after 10ish you would have heard about it ;)

And to top all the great-ness off, I went to the bano and came back to flowers!
It was pretty cute and a nice gesture--just on of the many reasons he's getting dubbed MNG.

 **After I took them home and trimmed them up**

No COOTD available for this post... I actually wore the same outfit that is my current blogger ID. I was a little bit lacking in the outfit creativity... I'll try better next time :)

A SCHEDULED LIFE

Here is to hoping that the courthouse finds excess funds in the next 30 days--
I believe that is about how long I'm going to last on this schedule.

 Go ahead, click that sucker and make it full size.

You'll cry your eyes out.

I know I am.

Seriously, if I don't make up something like this (schedule shown above) I wouldn't be able to function. I have to be able to see what is 'plan' is for the day/week/month....

All I can think of when I look at this is:

• Where the hell am I going to have time to get some serious shut eye?
• When am I supposed to clean the house/my room?
• Is there any time for FUN?
• Is it time for a vacation yet?
• Oh and most importantly, when am I supposed to fit in time for reading and writing papers for graduate school (except for on Sunday)?

I'M ALIVE, I SWEAR

Hi all!

Sorry for the lack of posting on the blog, and for the lack of updates on the twitter. The last week has been pretty crazy.
First the internet went out at the house--between that and my crazy ass new work schedule I've been very limited on my internet usage.
BUT NOW the world is right again and all has been restored to its proper place... i.e. we have internet again and I no longer need to visit the library to check my email :)
Work has been pretty crazy. I'm on my break right now so I'm going to sum it all up in a few quick sentences:
Friday night I bartended. Friday night was CRAZY! The restaurant hosted a special charity event--I created a drink--it was chosen as the special drink of the night! (HOLLAR!)
Saturday night I ran the bar ALL BY MYSELF! (yay--I'm a big girl bartender now, lol) (but I got stuck a few times and had some help).
This week I am working doubles everyday.
I send out my grad/law school applications this week--if not on Tuesday of next week (just due to my crazy work schedule).
Ummm--what else?!
Oh! Expect more posts in the next week--hopefully. I made a few more deserts for the family that received rave reviews. And I've fallen in love with Peach-tinis :)
The End, for now...
I've got to get back to work for the dinner crowd!

BLOG ROLLING

Thanks to my favorite BonBonRose Ladies and twitter, I tumbled across a new blog today and fell in Blog-Love with Curly in the City. Not only are her posts amusing, but her fashions sense is completely on point (and she likes to shop--that's my kind of blogger friend)!

I've never been good at "talking people up" so just do me a flavor-fav and go check out her blog, if you're anything like me, its going to get added to your blog-roll in a heartbeat.

What put me over the edge was this blog post and the image below:

[J. Crew Brompton Hobo $298.00 item 29063]

 You all know how I'm a sucker for all things accessory!

Well this bag from J.Crew is what I want. I want to take it to grad school with me (once I get accepted--after I finish my applications, lol--I should really get on that by the way). I want to shove my laptop and books in it and be forced to fish around in it for hours looking for a pen or an extra tin of Rosebud Salve that I know I had in it somewhere...

I'm a dork, bear with my flashforward fantasy in which I tote around campus with this bag on my shoulder.

Of course, I won't be purchasing this bag anytime soon. Specifically because of its price tag, well nevermind, ONLY because of its price tag. This beauty is wayyy out of my price range--I think I could substitute my UggFundChangeJar for a JCrewBromptonHoboChangeJar... or I could talk to the girl at my new job who works for J. Crew and see if she can hook me up with her discount... maybe?! She has offered the option to me before. I might have to take her up on her offer; it's too good to resist. If worse comes to worse I'll just have to go apply to J. Crew and work there for a month or so until I can get the discount myself :) -- nah, but that is my last resort plan.

I really, REALLY want this bag!

Italian leather... adjustable and removable strap... available in three colors... ooh I'm melting!

Here is a picture of the inside so you can melt right along with me; or so you can envision the lovely future that this bag and I have together.

Note: My brother just walked into the kitchen and said: "So Blogmaster, (that's his new name for me after he discovered that I had a blog, and after I defined what a blog was, and what the purpose of a blog was...) What are you blogging about today... ooh, What bag do you want now? (after looking over my shoulder at the words on the page) Oh, so what, you just attach it to your blog?... Ok."

He proceeded to walk away when I started talking about how I wanted to put my laptop in my bag and take it to grad school with me.

What?!

Now, back to the insides... lol

Isn't it pretty...


Okay, I'm going to go start/restart/do something to the thing I am calling my admission essay.
Enough bag dreaming for now.

Anyone have any J. Crew gift cards they want to donate to the Chuck Needs a Big Girl/Adult Bag to Take to Graduate/Law School fund?!

I kid, I kid... or maybe I don't...
