Change is for vending machines

Where to begin?
Once again, its been a few months since I've blogged. Oops.
I last wrote about moving into a new place, ironically enough my husband and I have picked up and once again moved. I think moving just jogs my desire to share details of my life to strangers.
Jeff recently joined the Air National Guard and we're assuming he'll start basic training and technical school in the next coming months. It will be sad to have him gone for a number of months, but its all for the best. We've moved in with my parents. Believe me, I know how that sounds. As newlyweds, your parent's house is probably the last place you'd want to be within the first year or so of your marriage, right? Correct. But while Jeff is gone, I won't have to come home to an empty house or pay rent. So we're not that unfortunate. :)

As far as changes that don't involve moving. I am in beauty school. I'm studying esthetics, which pertains to skin care. Its always been a goal of mine and I decided I would be happier trying to pursue my esthetics dream now instead of later, when I'm old and tired from having jobs I don't have a passion for. But if you need a facial, you know who to talk to.

Jeff and I recently bought a scooter. Its by far the best investment we've made as a couple. Not because of how economical it is, but because its just so much fun to ride around on. Transportation wise, I don't think much of it, but its just so dang cute. I love it

I've also started at a new job. I am working as an office assistant in a local chocolate shop downtown.

 That's just a brief update of my life to make for my lack of writing.


I've been looking for body scrub recipes and found quite a few delicious ones that leave your skin glowing. In the middle of researching, I found a delicious recipe for muffins that I tried out this morning. I thought I'd share both. :)

Melt in your mouth muffins
This recipe is just super simple and easy to whip out. I never thought I would want to be the kind of person that makes home made muffins for breakfast, this recipe is definitely changing my mind about that decision.

Healing body scrub
The ingredients in this scrub are pretty generic as far as body scrubs go, but the results are just phenomenal. Your skin will be smooth and soft and look more supple after one batch. Moisturizers galore! This is also a great idea for a quick gift. Who on earth could resist the smell of lavender? 


I don't think I'll make the promise of trying to be more diligent in writing because I'm pretty sure I won't be. But who knows?

Losing marbles

Today just happened to be one of those rare days when you go on about your business and people you've long forgotten about bump into you. From running into old friends I've just been spiraling back in time remembering and reminiscing about small things that have been slowly ceased to exist in my life. It was nice and a little sad. High school ended just last year for me, but it seems much longer than that. Since I've been out of high school I've gotten married, moved out, lived in my first apartment, walked the streets of downtown alone and unsupervised, gone grocery shopping, etc. All of those things I've done in the last couple months feel like things I've been doing for much longer, and in turn makes the things I've done before that short list seem like years and years ago. I'm not old, but today made me feel like I'm much older than I am. I realized how much of my own life I've forgotten about. What makes that thought a little grim for me is that if it weren't for seeing those people today, I'm not sure if I would have been able to remember any of these newly remembered memories on my own without anyone or anything to coax my brain to remember. Hence my blogging tonight. I've tried to make it a habit to record my daily actions and thoughts whether in a journal or blog in hopes of scaring off potential dementia and other forms of memory loss.
Today could have gone in a whole other direction now that I think about it. If my encounter was with people I didn't enjoy the company of, it could have led to a series of purposely repressing memories which were already repressed because of my unfavorable previous encounters, thus creating a greater case of false sense of alarm because I believe I'm developing dementia at a very young age.
I'm glad I ran into favorable people today.

Did I mention my husband took me to a musical about dementia last week? Such things do exist. It was quite depressing and eyeopening. I now know what to look forward to when my children become tired of an old, grumpy, haggard mother and turn me loose in a retirement home while suffering from dementia.
It was an interesting experience, I believe just about everyone there except my husband was my senior by 20 years or so.

I guess getting old has just been on my mind. I'm not there yet, but I feel like I am.


I didn't get to write about my wedding or reception. I posted last 3 days before the grand event. But I'll post a happy wedding photo maybe I'll go into detail another time. Jeff and I were held up in a little apartment for a couple months where internet access meant walking a whole 100 feet. It sounds silly, but once school ended we just never really bothered with the little walk to the "computer room". I'll try to be more diligent now that I don't have to get a brief exercise before having internet access.

Aw. Cute wedding photo.

Good bye for now.

Sorting Hat

I was sorted into Slytherin.

My sister Shelly was sorted into Ravenclaw.

My youngest sister Darling was sorted into Gryffindor.

Pottermore is accurate.

Lost and found

I had time to clean my room yesterday and I happened to come across some pretty cool things that I forgot I owned. During middle school I had a bad experience taking off a million and one photos, magazine clippings, and drawings I put on my walls, ever since I'm afraid been stingy about putting things of that nature up for display for fear of having to pull a plethora of staples and thumbtacks to remove hung decor. Not that I don't like having things on my walls, I have just become a little more picky about what I display on my walls. Anyways, I happened to come across a picture I found in a thrift store a couple years ago. When I realized I still owned it I jumped for joy until I realized why it never made it up on my walls. It might be why I found the beautiful thing in a thrift store in the first place; on the back of the frame there's no way to hang it. I could be wrong, but who has time for DIY projects anymore? (I love DIY projects, I always start them and never find time to finish them) I decided I'll make a project out of it and find a way to hang it. I just thought that putting my resolution in type would strengthen my resolve to get it done.

 ISN'T IT CUTE?!

Other than that I found 4 chapsticks and my clothes are no longer the main occupant of my floor. I have no time to figure out my cute owl picture dilemma today, I spent my day watching documentaries and getting ready to watch the Hunger Games midnight showing!!

Like my cardigan? Luxe Vans found at ross :)

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Blogger since Feburary 2011

I can honestly admit that I have had a blog for a year and I haven't blogged about anything that I actually care about. I figured that once I made a blog, ideas for cool blog posts would instantly flow from my brain. I think in the last year I had one useful blog post, it was a fried cinnamon tortilla recipe. It was useful because it made me learn how to spell the word recipe.
I'm disappointed that over a year later, I still don't feel like I have much to blog about. I just didn't get the blogging genes, my sister did.

This is now a blog about my day:

Today I woke up really late after having a weird dream about zombies, the future, rain, and toy robots. Late as in before noon, but just barely. I've been stressed about homework this week so the first thing I did was grab my laptop and start working on my procrastinated assignments. I'm taking Intro to IT and IT Essentials. I'm really surprised by how much I love being in these classes, future webdesigner/IT guy career here I come. I worked on that and facebooked until 5ish then showered and left my house still in pajamas to grab some burger king and play volleyball. Volleyball turned into a backwards game of hide and seek and I hid under a couch and in a cupboard. I left with my boyfriend so he can take care of the dogs he's babysitting for the weekend and we watched Hot Rod. After the movie I came home and now I'm here blogging about my day.

This is now a blog about a blog:
I just blogged about my day. Maybe I didn't write blogs before because I don't like to write about myself or share personal information with people I don't know. I don't know, maybe I won't delete all my blog posts at the end of this year.

P.S. this vvv is a link to the assignment I finished for my Intro to IT class. Done.
