Nope....Not Working

I've discussed how I hate sugarcoating things. I also hate people who wholeheartedly believe they are something they are not.....

Examples....

• People who think they are intimidating yet no one is actually scared of them.

Not sure dumb ass, probably because I want to be a famous singer.

•  People who think they are the life of the party but in all reality they are beyond obnoxious

No one wants you here

• People who just think they are honest and blunt because they speak their mind and say A-hole things

If Monday Were a Person

I must say that despite the suckiness going on lately I had a pretty awesome weekend thanks to wonderful friends:)

I'm not one to pretend everything is all sunshiney and perfect when it isn't, I don't sugarcoat it. If things are going so-so then that's that, I try to make the best of every situation but I think it is uber douschey to try and act like your life is amazing to others when deep down you're hurting.

So here's my story summed up....

I've always been one for long-term relationships. My first boyfriend (high school) and I dated for two and half years, it was the oh so over dramatic sorta thing that you believe will never end but in my case and in many others it did. I was crushed like every other 17 year old is.

So what did I do? I met a great guy and without hesitation I jumped right into a new relationship. Looking back, I probably should have held off and done a better job getting over my previous relationship but I fell in love and I knew at the time what I wanted and I do not regret that.

I do however regret the lack of appreciation I showed in that relationship and I could have been more mature. In the end, we were young, we fought, we wanted different things. This time I wasn't just crushed...I was devastated. The can't eat, can't sleep, can't get out of bed, can't do anything feeling. It's the worst. I thought I would never love or even like again.

Looking back, that was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I learned how selfish I was, I learned how I took things for granted. I traveled, I enjoyed college, I discovered who I was without a boyfriend. I learned that I never had to dependent on a guy for anything, especially to make me happy.

I decided that the next relationship I ever got into, it would be because I cared for that person and not for any other reason. So, here I am at another failed relationship but I can say one thing for certain. I'm not perfect, I will never claim to be but I have absolutely zero regrets, I worked hard to make it work but a power much larger then myself decided it shouldn't. Am I disappointed? Of course, but I can sleep peacefully knowing I did everything I could:)

The Phantom Blogger

Sorry I have been so MIA! Lots of business going on! I love you all:)

I've been in a bit of a funk:(


Changes have come to my life, probably for the good but definitely hard transitions.

Been watching A LOT of Full House

Friday 5-Day

1. My friend Taylor did a really cute updo for me last night

I really liked it because usually updos are way too tight and sprayed and I end up looking like Angela Lansbury, but she did a great job making sure it looked great!

2. Some idiot married K-Fed

Not that one....

I'm glad to see he hasn't lost those famous moves that won over B. Spears

3. My little taco did so good at the Vet this week:) 

He's got a little bump on his eye which the vet said should go away if not it will have to be removed and he got shots so he wasn't a happy camper and I'm very proud of him for behaving so sweet!

4. Reunited and it feels so good.....

You can't unsee that picture on the left...you're welcome

Jonathan Taylor Thomas has not changed one bit since the time he was 13 and apparently Zachery Ty Bryan has blown up post Home Improvement

5. I can't decide whether or not I want to see Jobs or The Butler....surprisingly Jobs got bad reviews but I really like Ashton Kutcher

spot-on casting

How Not to Eat Leftovers

I had a really long day at work yesterday so I was thrilled to be home and was not about to go back out to get dinner nor try and whip up a 4-course meal.

Luckily, I cooked a lot of baked penne pasta on Sunday. I did this on purpose because I wanted to be able to take the leftovers for lunch. Well I took some of the leftovers for lunch on Monday and I froze the rest. Since I never been no good at no fractions I put way too much pasta into one container.

I realize that it is going to take a lot to unfreeze my dinner and it would probably cause the microwave to blow up so I just defrosted it a little bit and opted to "cook" it in the oven, ya know like a DIY tv dinner. And once again my proportions were off......

It took like an hour to "cook" so I decided to refresh myself with a Bud Light, and every 10 minutes I would check on my dinner and I had to poke it with a fork, it was so stupid. I finally gave up and ate around the frozen parts...

Unsatisfactory 

And you didn't think you were reading a cooking blog........

Be Kind to Your Stalkers

We all have our talents. Some of us are probably more talented than others. I always thought at this point in my life I would already have at least one Oscar on my shelf but after watching childhood home videos of myself last weekend I realized why my parents never took me to auditions.

One of my many talents is Facebook stalking. And don't you dare scoff at that because you know you do it to.

I've always prided myself on being able to find out necessary information, but there are some people who don't feel the need to put anything on their Facebooks for me to see.

You know what I'm referring to, it's usually someone that you can't be "friends" with on Facebook for whatever reason and their last update was 4 months ago and it really had nothing to do with them at all. Someone just happened to "tag" them at a check-in at McDonalds and really who the F checks in at McDonalds anyways? So insignificant...

If you're absent on your Facebook page I'm just going to assume your life is boring, because I mean if you aren't documenting all of it on social media than you must not be out living.....like me and all......and a big shout out to everyone out there who give their stalkers something to look forward too.

I wanna be a Rock Singer and a Pop Singer

1. Amanda Bynes gets to leave the looney bin today!

A judge will decide if she needs to continue treatment or if she can be permanently released into her mother's care

2. I have been a lazy butt this past week and that's no good, gonna have to get it together starting this weekend

3. Beyonce got a haircut and we should all care.

Oddly enough, Bey's hair looks similar to Kris's 

4. Tonight is movie night and can't decide whether to see "We're The Millers" or "I Give it A Year", if I'm going to base it on reviews "I Give it A Year" if I base on a movie I've been really wanting to see than it'll be "We're The Millers"

5. Shark Week is coming to a close......I will say this Shark Week is something I care nothing about, I experienced some shark biz-ness this year at the beach you can read about that HERE

My contribution to blogland.

I was in a band...Severe Tire Damage

It's been that kind of week......

I've been housesitting for my parents while they are at the beach....GGGRRRRRIIIPPPPEEEESSSS....but it's pretty okay that I can eat their food and use their utilities. They have a cat who I'm pretty sure I'm allergic too...

I have been so beyond tired this week, I'm pretty sure the universe is just punishing me for pulling that all-nighter to get my homework done at the last minute

Livin on da Edge!

Well well well...look what the cat dragged in.

Sorry I was MIA yesterday, I had a butt-load of homework because I do my best work under pressure so I decided to put it all off until the last minute...I live life on the edge.....

I did however, make sure to be done with my homework just in time for Chelsea Lately because guess what?! Lindsay Lohan hosted last night!!

If you haven't seen it yet..go watch it! She did great, I really hope this will mark her descent upwards. I mean sure she's only been in a few good movies but they were good movies and let's be honest, Mean Girls rocks!

Then why must you disappoint us so much?!

Only time will tell....

Here's hoping you had a fabulous weekend and a swell Monday..

Simon Cowell The Homewrecker

I am so beyond tired today.....I'm going in slow motion.

But not apparently not sleepy enough to not get my panties in a wad over the American Idol Ass Clown

Simon Cowell knocked up a married woman and not just any married woman....he knocked up a friend's wife. Classy with a big C Mr. Cowell.....

Can I just say this though...who in their right mind would want to do the baby-making dance with that too tight shirt wearing douche??? I would rather hook up with Steven Tyler......

I'm not kidding folks.....that's how much I hate Simon.

And let's not leave this woman out either......she's married with a 7-year old son! I feel sorry for her kid that is going to be dragged through all this not to mention he's going to have a brother or sister with bushy thick square hair. Plus, the image in his head of his mom and Simon Cowell....EW!! Let's get real folks Simon has never held back on his opinions so I'm gonna label him for what he is........
