most akward break room converstation ever.

me: (washing my Tupperware)

stan (creepy 50 year old): oh i should have brought my dishes for you to wash

me: akward laugh...

stan: or how bout this, I'll wash, you dry.... that's how couples do it, right?
me: uncomfortable laugh...

stan: oh, you're a cutter? (said with an oddly intrigued tone while looking at my white heart tattoo on my wrist)

me: oh no! Its a white heart tattoo. I usually wear a watch to cover it at work.

stan: oh, does 'he' have a matching one?

me: ... uh? no I actually got it with my girlfriend before I moved to arizona.

stan: oh i get it, so its like a matching tattoo with your 'girlfriend' (emphasis on girlfriend)

me: well she's just like my best friend that is a girl, not my girlfriend...

stan: you know, whatever makes you happy!! Everyone likes different things

me: oh no, I'm not into that sort of thing, she is totally just my friend.

stan: totally not believing my claim of my not having a heart tattoo with my lesbian lover, continues to tell me a story of a girl he met at a bar and she asked him to go with her to get a tattoo with her on her belly. Apparently he opted not to get a belly tattoo because they seem so hard to keep clean. Oh, but helped random girl he just met at the bar clean and treat her tattoo.

me: confused how his story is a) work appropriate b) relevant and/or c) if it is even true... as i speed walk out of the break room back to my cubicle thinking, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?

Creativity is contageous... pass it on

Maybe I should learn to cook?

Since I've lived in my own apartment, the only things I have made are: eggs, oatmeal, fried chicken, and frozen premade dishes.

New goal: learn to make something new once a week.

Fried Ice Cream YUMMMMM

Fall 2010

I miss last fall. My last semester of college. I dropped my serving shifts on a weekly basis. Took 4 classes that I payed little to no attention to. living off my last student loan. Living in a 4 bedroom house with 5 girls and 2 dogs.

And the best part was that Breanne, Jenna, Aj and I were all emotionally unstable, drunk and pretty much hilarious. (and skinny)

Yes, this conversation happens between me and my friends. always.

The Texts
B: “Hey are you ready to get dinner?”
Him: “Nah, I can’t anymore. I’ve gotta study.”


The Analysis between you and your friend:
K: What. The. F***.
B: I know, right?! Why didn’t he just write, “I hate you, you’re stupid”? It’s the same thing.
K: How did he spell "no"? Was it normal or are you just saying it weird?
B: N-a-h.
K: SHUT THE EFF UP.
B: I’m serious!!! That’s what he wrote!
K: Gross. That is so gross. See? He is SO self-centered that he can’t be bothered to have his mouth close around words properly! Like, I can sort of see his tongue hanging out at the end of that.
B: Exactly. He’s sticking his tongue out at me.
K: I’m sorry. He just isn’t good enough for you. He is the worst.
B: Well, hopefully he’s dead by tomorrow.

Never let somebody love you more than you love yourself.

I think I should buy this for myself, to show me how much I love me.

I bought a tool kit, and it's pink!

I went to Target to buy a cheap-o drill to hang things in my apartment, so i dont feel like im living in an empty jail cell.

The ugly orange drill was $25... just then I saw the PINK tool kit! It had a pink hammer, pink measuring tape, pink drill, pink level, etc.

I feel very independant and girly and my studio finally has wall decorations :)

I shouldn't try to plan so much.

I'm all about adventures

Ask lots of questions. – The greatest ‘adventure’ is the ability to inquire, to ask questions. Sometimes in the process of inquiry, the search is more significant than the answers. Answers come from other people, from the universe of knowledge and history, and from the intuition and deep wisdom inside yourself. These answers will never surface if you never ask the right questions. Thus, the simple act of asking the right questions is the answer.

Day 2: Nine things you do everyday

1)play with my dog

3)brush my teeth
4)put on mascara
5)q-tip my ears (this is like an mini orgasm)
6)smile
7)network

9)miss people

Dear Sierra,

Sit alone in silence for at least ten minutes every day. – Use this time to think, plan, reflect, and dream. Creative and productive thinking flourish in solitude and silence. With quiet, you can hear your thoughts, you can reach deep within yourself, and you can focus on mapping out the next logical, productive step in your life.

I'm going to own a profitable business one day

Dear Sierra,

here is some advice:


Invest time, energy and money in yourself every day. – When you invest in yourself, you can never lose, and over time you will change the trajectory of your life. You are simply the product of what you know. The more time, energy and money you spend acquiring pertinent knowledge, the more control you have over your life.

boobs

sometimes i look down and just thank them for being so pleasantly round and perky. not too big, not too small... the perfect handful.

sometimes i look in the mirror and think, why do my boobs look so dumb in this shirt? its like im in the 9th grade all over again.

snowflakes on noses

This past April I was sooo excited to get out of snowy Reno and move down to the Grand Canyon State of Arizona because I love sunshine!! Now, I'm very sweaty here in this 100+ degree AZ weather.

This picture makes me realize how much I DO love snow (in moderation). Sometimes you have to let something go to make you realize what it means to you... & I LOVE bundling up in bright colors, cute scarves and going sledding, making snow angels and drinking hot chocolate (with mini marsh mellows).

This past weekend in Salt Lake City made me realize how much I love the mountains (namely the Rockies).

I am excited for the 80 degree winters here in Phoenix, but come Christmas time I will be very ready and excited to visit a place where there are real mountains and snowy kisses :)

hoot hoot

i collect all things owl :)

also, i am in the market for curtains and i imagine buying ones that look similar to this background.

pink. grey. mustard yellow.

:)

let it be. let it be.

perfection

perfectly messy.
makes me happy to have long hair.
note to self: no matter how hot AZ is, long hair is gorgeous and it has taken you years to grow it. you are not allowed to cut it anytime soon.

you should always have more than one color in your hair. two tones are better than one, and it adds depth.
braids are so pretty, girly and sophisticated all at the same time.
love love love

bold eyebrows are in.

oh gawd. i love eyebrows. especially these ones + blue eyes and uh-mazing eyelashes = perfection.
i'm copying her eyemake up starting now.

I really could use this:

one is more legal than the other, but im very confident that both of them would work.

i'll probably do diet dr.pepper though. I love d.d.p.

bacon?

SOMEONE IN THIS OFFICE IS EATING BACON AND I CAN SMELL IT.
all I want to do is tell them they are RUDE!! and then throw their bacon on the ground.

I am on a diet. and what that really means is I still eat junk, just not as much as usual. and I feel more guilty about eating the junk.

I signed up for myfitnesspal.com
I keep track of all the food I eat. If you want to stalk my food consumtion here you go: My food Diary
Dont judge.

canned food

today for lunch I made balsamic chicken and brought canned green beans.
my thoughts:

• canned green beans are not nearly as good as frozen green beans, but they are still edible
  
  
  
• canned corn is pretty good




• i dont like canned fruit. ew.




• except maybe mandrin oranges in my salad




• i eat canned chicken... but if i think about it too much it seems weird and gross




• i also dont mind canned tuna




• any other canned meat is NOT normal




• canned beans are good




• how else do you eat beans? I guess some people actually boil them?




• i dont like time consuming things like boiling beans




• if im going to cook it better not take more than 30 minutes

a few of my favorite things

$45 a share in CASH

Providence to buy Blackboard for $1.64 Billion.
Everyone is the office is freaking out. Should I be worried about my job? I'm sure the first thing financial advisers will do is go to our company org chart and realize how bloated we are and.. snip snip. I mean really, is it necessary to have a VP, 5 directors and 2 senior managers manage 20 people? But who am I to say? this is my first job in corporate America.
Since I only signed a year contract, I'm not too worried. As long as I have my job through April. Although it would be nice to have a job through next May seeing as I am stuck in a lease until then.
