Saturday off??

First, can we please talking about how incredibly adorable this picture is??

My sister found in on Pinterest yesterday and it literally made my night.

The idea is priceless.

Today is my first Saturday off in a while.  By off, I mean I'm in Long Beach and not at home.

I will guiltily admit that I slept in till 11, laid in bed another 30 minutes finishing "The Giver", and finally I made my way downstairs and I'm watching The OC and drinking coffee.

Man that's a little pathetic...Hannah needs to get home so we can get out and do something!

Have a wonderful weekend lovelies!

Happy List for Thursday

First Happy List of the Summer

1.  The two days of 80 degree weather LB got this week.

2.  Actually getting praised at work.

3.  That the count down on my phone keeps getting smaller.

4.  Having my sisters visit me.

5.  Watching weird movies with Hannah.

6.  Running my fingers through  my straight hair.

7.  Pinterest.

8.  The fact that July 18 is so close.

9.  Vampire Diaries reruns.

10.  Sweet Tea Vodka and Sprite.

Wish come true..sort of.

Earlier today, one of my Wednesday Wishes was to have straight hair.

I later realized that Hannah was going to be at work tonight and I was going to have a lot of free time.

So I ended up spending an hour and 20 minutes sitting on my bedroom floor doing this...

It's no where near permanent cause the second it touches water those curls will come right back,

but for at least tomorrow and maybe Friday I'll have straight hair.

It's a nice change though, that's for sure!

Wednesday Wishes

W1: I wish my headache would go away

Waking up with a headache for no reason is the worst!

Today it was so bad it woke me up.

W2: I wish my hair could look like this for a little while..

Don't get me wrong, I like my curly hair and I normally don't hate it...

but the last week or two I've been over it and I really want straight hair.

W3: I wish Hannah and I could find sparklers for 4th of July!

 I didn't realize how against fireworks Long Beach is...I need to find some of these though!

W4: I wish it was July 18 already

I need to get outta the city for awhile...NC is calling my name!

What are you wishing for?

Link up with Brooke and let her/me know what your wishes are!

"Oh, that

I could

shrink the

surface of

the world,

so that 

suddenly

I might 

find you

standing

at my side!"

(wang chien)

I'm missing my sweetheart a lot today...but the few minutes of conversation 

we got to have made me incredibly happy.

Almost to the month-and-a-half mark, but I'm ready for it to be over!

Happy Birthday/Father's Day

To the best dad ever!

Today is my dad's birthday and tomorrow as ya'll know is Father's Day.
My dad is pretty much awesome.  I love him more than anything.
Sometimes we definitely don't get along, but that's because we are way too much alike!
Wish I was there to celebrate with you tonight/tomorrow dad!
I love you.

Didn't learn that in History

Borrowed

I've been watching the TV mini series "The Kennedys"
and to be honest I'm finding it pretty interesting.
I'm no historian so I don't really know what all about JFK's presidency was publicized back then and if this show is historically failing or is pretty right on, but just as a entertainment show, I'd say they got it right.
Several times during certain episodes, I've had to pause it and look up what or who they're talking about just because I actually am interested in knowing more.  For all you history buffs out there, I'd recommend this show in a heartbeat.

"Confidence Cohen"

Borrowed

I'm not feeling very confident lately and I don't know why.

There's something going on that's making me completely uncomfortable in my own skin.

Have you ever had that feeling?

I'll be honest with you, it's really annoying me.

Today, I'm getting a hair cut (after two years of not touching it with scissors at all) which will hopefully boost the confidence factor...'cause let's be honest, who doesn't feel better after they've had a haircut?

I'm trying everything I can think of to battle this ridiculously dry skin I have that shoots my confidence down

...maybe the humidity in NC next month will be just the hydration trick I need, I may never leave!

I also have some graduation money that I need to use to get some new summer clothes, which could be a nice boost too!

I dunno, I know those things aren't the answer to confidence problems, but I'm grasping at straws here.

Have a good weekend lovelies!

Wednesday...er...I mean...Thursday wishes

I missed out on yesterday's Wednesday Wishes because I was in LA at The House of Blues watching Austin Gibbs, The Maine, and Augustana.

So here are my wishes for yesterday/today

W1: A fit body/the drive to workout

I work at a gym, you think this would be the easy part right?

Nope!

W2: For the dang weather to get warm!

This morning I walked outside and it was raining and cold...in June! 

What the heck? I want to use my pool/the beach!

W3: I wish I had a river in my back yard...

So I could do something like this with my friends!

W4: I wish I didn't have to wake up at 4:00 AM tomorrow!

I have to "open" the gym tomorrow and my shift starts at 5 AM.

It's nuts and crazy, but I hope it pays off...but  now I need to go to sleep.

What do you wish for?

Pretty much...

And yet I love it.
