Friday’s Fluff!

OOOh I can not express how happy I am that it is Friday. What’s more its a 3-day weekend!! yes! 


I didn’t get any sleep at all last night…had the weirdest dream that I was driving down the street and this man was laying in the middle of the street hurt. So I pass him to pull over and in my rearview mirror I see him try to get up and get run over onto the hood of a car. The person gets out of the car, pushes him off and takes off and then the person behind him runs him over again. I’m sitting in my car crying and freaking out as I watch it in my rearview mirror. Insane!!! I think I was probably whining in my sleep because I definitely woke-up upset! 


Ook so now that I have made everyone think I am nuts here are some random bits of fluff to start your weekend!! 

{1}
I was highly excited to pump gas this morning because it was so much cheaper than earlier in the week! 
My commute was fantastically light too!

Every single time I hear this song I sing along and do a little dance.

I am excited to get some sun and spend some time with my friends this weekend! We are going to try and make it to a music street fest happening here in the city, go layout at a pool my friend is housesitting at.(huh?! Makes no sense when you read that) BBQ with my family!! 
I want to try and make this cocktail! 
{4} 
I got a new camera!! Woooo! 
my bestie A has this camera and I have been coveting it for a bit now. So I went ahead and treated myself to a new camera. I mean I am going to China soon, good camera is a must!!

I had a friend make me feel kinda bad this week. I don’t think they did it intentionally so I won’t bother making a fuss about it but I realized that it did definitely hurt my feelings. Sometimes I wonder how things will workout with me being gone for a year. I know that I chose this adventure and that a lot of people are effected by it but I also noticed that some of those friends are already acting different towards me which makes me think things will be very different for me upon my return.

My brother graduated 8th grade last night! I can not believe how old he is already. I swear it was just yesterday we were chasing his naked behind around the house.Now he is taller than me, has a girlfriend(I mean as much as a 13 year old really can) and is going to be in HS this year! 
forgive my sweaty mess 90° & no AC in traffic is bad!
Proud parents 🙂
 
I am very excited for this weekend !I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and please please do not forget what we are honoring this Monday! Check out this out to learn why we celebrate Memorial Day! 
 
 
 
 

Weekend Recap!

I know I am a day late but that is just how Mondays go for me. My weekend was pretty fantastic! 


Friday night had prom committee and helped the birthday girl set up for the party. Lots of balloons, fluffy stuff and spray paint! 


Saturday was The Prom of course! and Sunday was spent lazing away with The Boy for his birthday! It was a great day, unfortunately he was on call all day so we couldn’t do anything too special. 


Doesn’t sound like much but that combined with 80°+ weather and being with friends it was great! 

and some pics to sum it all up! 



Prom Photos were taken

 

 
Beer was spilled….

My Boo! 

 

 Candle holders were turned into Shot glasses! 

Candle holders= shot glasses
Midnight birthday shots
The Birthday Girl! 

I have no clue why the photos are not cooperating this time…so excuse the mess! 

Thursday’s unload

I was going to post for Its Ok Thurday but instead I will do a little complaining about some NOT OK things….


1. Why does everything have to take so long to get done in China? No seriously. Paperwork that should take 1 week takes 3 or more. It is very inconvenient to receive an email saying 10 days one night and the next night an email that says 20-23/4 days instead. Really? Because I don’t have an expensive ass flight to purchase to get there! 
 
2. Personal space people. I know that once I get overseas I have to get used to things not being the same as they are in the US but here we know damn well its rude to stand so close I can feel you breathing. I promise when the door opens I will get off as quickly as I can and you standing so close WILL NOT make the door open faster. 
 
3. Driving sucks. I know exactly why I went almost 3 years without a car. It sucks. traffic sucks. bad drivers like myself suck. people who don’t use turning signals suck. Gas prices are insane! Seriously you want me to pay $4.34 for a gallon of gas? I’d rather hitchhike but then the person picking me up might expect payment for that ride since gas is ripping them a new one too! 
 
4. Can I have more time? Why is there so much going on the month before I move? Please help me understand and then please help everyone around me understand that I can not be at everything, plan everything or stay any longer. 
 
5. This damn Iphone….I don’t know if its the phone I have or AT&T..more likely stupid AT&T but really my phone never wants to work. Doesn’t work in  my office building, doesn’t work on the surrounding blocks, or when I want to use it…EVER. 


6. Trying on dresses= fail. I had a seriously depressing moment yesterday trying on prom dresses. I do just enough exercise not to gain weight but not enough to lose anything…normally I’m fine with that until I try on 9 dresses and not one fits. Then…I cry. 

Ooh that felt kinda good…ok enough complaining for today! 
I need a drink and some time w/The Boy & my girlies to make me feel better!
