My Friday nights...

Ok, so I feel like the most uneventful night of my week is always Friday night. It's sad. Not always, but I remember even back in highschool somehow my Friday nights were always the ones that didn't ever have plans.

So this afternoon, guess what I did? I went appliance shopping with my parents. Now there is a bright side to this. I am VERY excited we finally were able to buy a new dish washer. Our old one, (current one,) was/is awful. We practically had to hand wash our plates before even putting them into the dishwasher. Beats the purpose of even having one.

Anyway, now that I realize that was probably a very boring paragraph to read, I'll move on. I am going to see One For The Money, with my best friend tonight. She is reading the book series and cannot wait to see the movie. It does look good, so I'm excited too. But even that isn't till 9:30. So what am I going to do until then? (because even my parents are headed to dinner with friends. Sometimes I have to admit they have more of a life than I do. I guess they deserve it considering they've been married 35+ years)

Anyway, I am going to go to Michaels. Ya know, that ultimate over priced craft store? Where you can find the most intense homeschool moms, the older women who scare you by how much they scrapbook, or the random kids (with no lives.. Oh wait.. I mean more than me!) taking the scrapbooking and other assorted crafting classes? Yeah, that one. Ok ok, maybe it's not THAT bad there. And I know scrapbooking isn't a sin, it's a major hobby for some. Either way, I'm obviously headed there soon, because they have what I need to make an incredible birthday gift for someone. :) I'm super excited for this gift and hope it turns out ok. Can't say more in case that person happens to read this. But maybe I'll post a picture later on.

So does anyone have suggestions on how to make fun Friday night plans when you realize at 4pm on a Friday, that you haven't made any plans?? My bestie and I would be grateful for unique ideas. ;)

Until next time- have a good weekend & keep believing in what a good dose of chocolate (and a glass of wine?) will accomplish for your sanity. Or maybe just mine..

Yeah, it has been awhile!

Well between leaving Alabama to come home, Christmas, out of town guests, and the new year beginning, I have thought about my poor blog, yet failed to write anything new. So now here I am! It's a new year, it's a new way, and I'm trying to get excited about my life again! Haha.

Any ideas how to do that? :P

Uh well, I'll get to that later. I'd like to share my excitement on getting things accomplished.
In the past month, I have finished what seemed to be an awfully drawn out homework assignment that haunted me for months. (not to mention my grade was far beyond what I had even hoped for!)
I finally got around to cleaning out my closet, and ended up rearranging it to perfection.
I made a couple of calls and wrote a couple emails that have been long in the wait. I even accomplished finally making a sticky note reminder that I need to make a dentist appointment, and an eye appointment. The true gold will come when I actually do those two things. But to get me that far, I had to start somewhere!

(I watched an entire series of The Office, late at night, when I should have been sleeping... It's an accomplishment since I needed to catch up!)

I even went skiing after New Years! Although I love the sport, I was too lazy to get my butt back on the slopes for the past 4 years.. So to me, it was good for my health. ;) (oh, and I accomplished a black diamond, all while having a nervous breakdown!)

My room also looks quite good after I finally got to rearrange some stuff and make it look a lot less cluttered and "teenager like."

I'm turning 21 in two months! Ok so that might not be an accomplishment but it's very very exciting! And hey, I made it to the legal age without ever trying to buy a drink without showing ID! lol.

I guess right now, while my life is so random, all over the place and uneventful, I am just more excited about the little things.
So cheers to the unmentioned, the dreaded appointments, the unknown future, and my amazing looking closet in this new 2012!

God bless you this week. :)
And God help the Broncos.

Xoxo!
