Updating is NOT my forte!

>> Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Hey everyone!

Apparently I forget I have a blog, and it needs updated every once in a while. Oops.

I saw Avatar this past weekend and WOW! I was thoroughly impressed! The story line, the CGI, the acting....everything made it amazing! James Cameron seriously set the bar for great movies! I think everyone should go see it....twice. Once in 2D and another time in 3D. I haven't done that yet, but eh! Time! Where does it go? I'll get to seeing Avatar in 3D eventually! ;]
"Sounds like Crazy" is finished! The way the author ended is was genius! Now I'm re-reading Eclipse and preparing for the next movie! Yes, I'm aware it isn't out until June, but I don't have as much time has I used to! I have to start early!

Christmas Eve is tomorrow! How did December fly by so quickly? I feel like August was a few weeks ago, and now we're approaching 2010! Next thing I know it, I'll be turning 23 in September! Ugh! I wish I could slow time down just a little bit. We could always use a little more time. There's always one thing we couldn't get to in a day, in a week, in a month or in a year. Wouldn't the ability to slow time down be handy? I think so.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year! I'm not sure if I'll update again before January 1st, but if not I hope my wishes find you and yours!


Later Days!

Manicure fun!

>> Sunday, December 6, 2009

Hey everyone!

I'm kinda done moping around. I received prayer at Gateway tonight, so I'm feeling tons better. Life still goes on!

Any who, I got my nails done today and I am in LOVE with them! I got a regular arcylic set. I tend to stop biting my nails when I have these on, so I figured I would get them done for Christmas-time!

The color is called Ruby Pumps by China Glaze. I also love the snowflake decals I got! It's very Christmas/Wintery! Ruby Pumps is a red polish with a dense red glitter. It sparkles so much in the sunlight; I get distracted! If you're into green polish, you might like Emerald Sparkle. It's the same concept as Ruby Pumps only in a deep emerald green.
PS: Please excuse the random lamp. It's the only good light source I had!

And check out this cute manicure from A Stroke of Color (http://www.astrokeofcolor.ca/)!

It's candy cane stripes! I love this! Maybe I should invest in some Konad art plates to get this look! How adorable would it be for Christmas?


I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but I have a slight obsession with nail polish. The fact that I read Scrangie's blog (http://www.scrangie.com/) really doesn't help! She reviews polishes and post swatches! She has perpetuated my habit ;]


I just wanted to share my obsession for just a moment. If you know of any cute polish colors, let me know! I love trying new colors and brands! :]


Later Days!

New layout and NEW MOON!

>> Sunday, November 22, 2009

Hello, hello!

I figured since everyone is getting their Christmas layouts up, I should too! I'm usually not a big fan of gold, but this one appealed to me! I also put some new songs on my mixpod, and changed the color scheme!
Four of the songs on there are from the New Moon soundtrack! The first song is called "Roslyn" by Bon Iver & St. Vincent. It's a hypnotic song, and probably my favorite from the entire soundtrack. Then there is "Satellite Heart" by Anya, "Meet Me on the Equinox" by Death Cab for Cutie, and "All I Believe In" by Amadao & Mariam & the Magic Numbers. "All I Believe In" is a cute song. In the movie it's played when Bella and Jacob are first fixing up the bikes and she turns off the radio. It's a bummer....she should have kept it on! ;]

After hearing that the dispatcher position was a no-go for me, Joe got me the New Moon soundtrack, Owl City's album, and the new Imogen Heap and OneRepublic albums. It made my day much better.

So...NEW MOON! OME (for those of you who don't know the lingo-that stands for Oh My Edward)! The wait was completely worth it! I went to the midnight showing with Sara and Ryan and it was so much fun! Ryan and I got a Jacob and Edward cup that was $5. That is probably the most shameless purchase I've made.

*SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET!*
Want to know my favorite part? When Jacob was telling Bella he would never hurt her, and that he would never let her down. I wanted to cry! Then the whole theater started laughing when Mike came up and said "Well...I need to go home." I have my own Jacob and his name is Joe. He had that same conversation with me when I told him I wasn't ready to date again after having my heart broken, stepped and spat on. Joe, like Jacob, was very persistent and never stopped trying. I guess it paid off, hmm? :]
I also wanted to cry when Edward was leaving Bella and saying he didn't want her. Ugh! Talk about a knife to the heart! Then it happened again when Jacob was telling her to go away and never come back! Poor Bella can't catch a break! Another favorite scene is when Jacob comes to visit her and says "The crazy part is, you already know!" When Bella proposes running away together, he looks at her and says, "I would run away with you if I could." I pretended he was saying that to me! And then he hugs her before he leaves again, "Please, please try to remember."
*END SPOILERS*
I've already seen it two times this weekend! I definitely plan on seeing it a magical third time! Now I need to read Eclipse so I can be ready for the next movie, which comes out this JUNE! They're not waiting two or three years like this Harry Potter b.s.! Summit knows the fans want to see the movies ASAP, and maybe the actors and actresses want to move on and do other projects as well!

Thanksgiving is this week! I only have to work tomorrow and Tuesday at the holiday center (which is Keller Harvel for me), and then I'm off for the rest of the week! I think I may have classes through Wednesday afternoon...I'll have to double check on that. I'll be having two Thanksgivings: one with my family and one with Joe's family. It should be fun! :D

Holiday Question!
What part of Thanksgiving are you looking forward to? Do you have a favorite dish you want to devour or is it time with family? Let me know!



Later Days!
