So I have been having a pretty rotten week, and I needed something to cheer myself up, SO I painted my nails Revlon’s Temptress (which I got for 75% off) and the because the pretty pink cream was a little to meh for me I put Revlon’s Angelic on top (got at the same time as Temptress and the sale was buy 1 get one 50% so both were on sale!! So I ended up with an almost Perfect Barbie Pink to make me smile!
Okay I am completely in shock right now! I’ve been tagged and I was tagged twice!! And the two bloggers who tagged me are two of my favorites! Martha from A Southern Transplant, and Becca from Everyday Life. If you haven’t checked them out please go and look now, They are both amazing women!
So This tag is called
The Blogger Game:
The Rules
1. You must post the rules.
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create 11 new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
4. Tag 11 people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!
Part 1 done! Okay 11 things about me…
1. I just decided that I was going to start running, I’ve only been once and I actually enjoyed it.
2. I love to read, if given the choice to do anything in the world or read a good book, I would pick the book every time.
3. I want to be able to wear the size clothes I wore freshman year of high school again. The only reason I am not is because I am lazy, so I am hoping to fix that.
4. I was introduced in class this semester as “The girl who must REALLY love her boyfriend, she’s been with him 10 years.” I thought it was kind of cute that that’s what my partner picked up on.
5. I always hold my breath when I drive through tunnels, When I was a kid we used to drive through them to visit family when we lived in Ohio and after we moved to SC and if you could hold your breath until the end you got a wish. I’ve only ever made it one time.
6. I usually have a “pause” button on my dreams, if I am sleeping and wake up I can generally stay awake for an hour and when I go back to sleep my dream was paused the whole time, only bad when it’s a nightmare.
7. I wanted to be Belle, Ariel, Aurora, and Esmeralda when I grew up.
8. I get a pit in my stomach when my work calls, because I am always scared I did something wrong.
9. I never got the hang of the newer video games, I played Mario, Sonic and even Pokémon, but the newest game I will play is Plants Vs. Zombies
10. I am scared to death of Zombies.
11. I cannot watch any form of a horror movie. The closest I will get is crime shows on TV. Any form of horror/scary movie terrifies me.
Now because I was tagged twice I am going to answer both sets of questions! Sorry this is getting so long!!
Martha’s Questions For Me:
1. If you could go back in time to your 16-year-old self and tell them one thing about what to expect from the future, what would it be and why?
I would tell myself to expect and embrace change, I tried for so long to not let anything change and I really should have just gone with it, I would have had more fun.
2. What song creates the strongest memory for you and why that song?
This is actually VERY hard for me because I am a very auditory person, I am going to go with a song from Sesame Street, my Papa used to sing it to me when it was on the TV.

How did you name your blog?
Your dream guy when you were a child? Was it realistic?
It’s hard to believe that my blog is 3 years old today. I would like to think that I’ve grown up a lot in the last 3 years. I know that I have made some amazing friends through this and other blogs, and I have learned that expressing my feelings is something that I have to do.
I recently read my first ever post again. I think that my writing have developed and grown a lot over the years, But not much has changed in my life it seems, I still work a lot, although for a different job, same type. I am still in school, I am still friends with M, Eri, and Piper. I still need to move to Memphis with Kensei.
I just wanted to acknowledge that this blog is growing up with me and hopefully by this time next year I will have a lot more changes to account for!
To still be feeling woozy from the cut I gave myself cooking last night.
To tell this girl who sits behind me in class if she popped her gum one more time I would pop her. (I did get an hour of peace after that. I listened to her pop and smack for an hour before I couldn't take it anymore)
To still want to dress in Retro 50s clothes
To Want to dress like a Disney Princess particularly Belle or Esmeralda.
To still be dying to go out of the country and planning made up vacations in my head.
To have decided to go back to the gym I pay for but never use.
So I am debating as I type this, I was making dinner tonight and stabbed my index finger with a knife, it went in but didn't like sever anything (that I know of). I have from the time it happened placed two band-aids, and one piece of gauze and tape, I bled through the band-aids but the gauze and tape seem to be applying enough pressure to where I'm not bleeding as much and it seems to be slowing down. I am hoping that I will not need to go to the ER or to Doctor's Care. Going to wait until my dad gets home to look at it to decide or if it doesn't stop bleeding.... Just when I think I'm safe...
Today is the first day of the last semester at the technical college I am attending. I will be hopefully attending a university starting fall semester, preferably in Memphis.
I had a great start to the first day of classes. I got stuck in an elevator for 20 mins. I had to park at the top of the parking garage so I got in the elevator, and this girl joined me when we got down to level 4. We hit ground level and the elevator just stopped, all the lights went off and the door's wouldn't open and she had a melt down, I was standing there reaching for the service phone when she went off on all the ways we were going to die, from the elevator crashing (again we were on the ground floor) or the possibility that zombies had taken over and that was why the elevator was stopped.
I called security and we were let out in 20 mins, but that was a wonderful way to start the day. By the way she wouldn't calm down, even after they opened the doors and we got out she was still freaking out.
The rest of my day went pretty peacefully, seems like at least on Mondays and Wensday's I'll have good professors and interesting classes.
One of the FEW polishes I can wear more than 2 days in a row, I change my nail polish every day or two because the colors get boring but Orly's Rage I can wear for two weeks with out feeling the desperate need to remove it!
To be kind of annoyed that I have to work on my day off.
To be excited that my blog turns 3 years old in 13 days!
To be WAY behind on my 365 photo project. I've been taking the pictures just not posting them! I think I'll post at the end of each week it might be easier that way!
To still not be happy with my hair color and be dying it again on my next day off.
To have sent off letters to my pen-pals yesterday!
To REALLY need some running shoes so I can start attempting to run.
To plan to sneak into the gym at another college in my neighborhood so I can use their pool.
That I have somewhere to put my thoughts, and the friends I make from blogging.
{2} What is your favorite scent of candle/air freshener?
Anything from bath and body works?? lol no honestly I love spicy scents like cinnamon and winter scents but I do love tropical smells like pineapple and mango, I just don't really like food smells like cookies or cakes they smell to fake to me.
my two favorite candles are Leaves and Seaside Escape.
{3} How would you describe your style?
I used to say I had no style, but I am currently going through a kind of Preppy Comfortable phase. Although if I had enough cash I would say 50s throwback would be my style I LOVE the dresses from the 50s and would wear them EVERY day.
{4} What are 3 things your dream home would have that your current home doesn't have?
A balcony, A Library and an in-ground heated pool.
So I have so health goals I need to meet this year particularly before my big move to Memphis.
I decided to like up with
I am most definitely at my heaviest, and not happy with it at all. I plan of trying to consume more fruits and veggies, and more water, Right now I am aiming at 3 glasses a day with only one bottle of coke (which is honestly huge for me I honestly drink between 4-8 bottles a day which I know is bad.) and at least 3 glasses of tea.
I know that if I have someone to be accountable to I am more likely to actually go through with it!
