Some news. :)

So, I've obviously been missing in action here for awhile. But work is killing me! I love it though, so it's alright! I'm not sure if I've shared with my fellow bloggers about my chronic migraines. I'll get them for weeks at a time so it makes it a bit hard to function. :( Well, my neurologist has decided to do botox! Yes, botox. But on my neck to paralize the muscles. I mean right now I'm covered in IcyHot & it's just not cutting it. &to make matters worse I totally wiped out in front of Subway two days ago. It was snowing ALOT & as I came up the sidewalk I slipped and landed on my back! OUCH! I seem to do this every winter.. As for the botox, as long as my insurance will pay for it I'll be getting it. My neck is going to look GREAT! lol 


Also, my car is fixed and I am so happy! My boyfriends dad was having someone put the battery in (it's located in the wheel well. Really?!) & he surprised me by fixing everything! I had been jumping it from the new battery every day! Not fun at all!! &my exhaust had a leak so loud that when I was driving with other people in the car you had to yell to talk. To make matters worse both of my struts (the things that absorb the bumps in the road) where blown. It went squeak, squeak, squeak all the way home. But now it's back to it's beautiful, quiet self! 


Has anyone checked out my "Answer the Prompt" post? They can be very inspiring. :)


Hope everyone is having a good start to the year! :)

Answer the prompt. #2 :)

Simple as that. I will share my answer with you & you can share your answer with me in the comments! Or make a blog post about it, but don't forget to share it with me! :)


Write about something you now know that you wish you knew earlier in life.  How could this knowledge have helped you?


I wish that when I was in high school I actually knew that none of the drama mattered & that it was important to actually do the work& to have confidence. I slacked off & my whole day, every day was filled with being bullied and fighting with old friends. But if I would have known how minuscule those events were & something as simple as speaking up to the right person, they could have been avoided. I will make a difference one day. Bullying is a big deal but no one ever takes the time to think about what it really does. I have such an issue with the school systems & how they handle bad situations. I will do a post one day about my thoughts. 


Your turn! :))

Name something you've lost or gave away that can never be replaced?

There are so many things that come to mind. I guess you could say most of the things I own have sentimental value, so when I lose them or something happens it's a bit sad. I had this huge stuffed animal dog when I was about 7 and then until I was 13 or so. I slept on it and used it as a chair. It was sturdy! I remember my mom paid $100 for it at Toy's R Us & a guy had to get a fork lift to get it from a really high shelf. It was bigger then my 7 year old self! Oh, I miss that. :) (I tried to find a photo, I couldn't find anything! But plenty of 90's memories.)

Your turn! :)

Credit for the prompt master! :)

History is amazing. :)

Alexander & I have been watching documentaries. The most recent one was called, "When We Left Earth: The  NASA Missions." So, me being me I like to know more about the people they talk about. I do this with everything! Movies, T.V shows, books & what have you. Anyways, I looked up John Glenn who was the first man to enter space in the United States. From there I wondered what happened today in history, especially it being Friday the thirteenth. So expand your knowledge and read on!

Now lets look at some that occured on my birthday! If you don't feel like reading on ( you might not even be with me anymore) you may leave. I understand. But I enjoy history & expanding my knowledge & hope to help others to do the same! Plus, little facts are fun to share!

Isn't she cute!

I found all this information on www.brainyhistory.com !

My Marine. :)

 Today I saw my marine. Her name is Logan & she is nothing but an inspiration. I love her to death & have waited over a year to see her! She's been stationed in Japan with little contact. A few friends & herself came up with a plan to bring her home for Christmas & surprise her family yesterday! It worked perfectly! The amount of pride & joy I have in my heart right now cannot be put into words. She doesn't compete with the girls but the boys. She's the best & strives to be better then expected. How can you not look up to someone like her? It's the most wonderful Christmas presents I will receive this year. I love my marine.

The day she left for boot camp. :( Crying my eyes out.

She took us to the zoo before she left! :D

Signing in to be a Marine. :) I was there!

Last day of senior year before she left for boot camp. 2010

Goals.

My goal this new years is to start running. Although, I'm going to start early because my eating habits have gotten out of control! I think my body is set to eat more during the month of December because of Christmas. Now, me saying I'm going to run is a BIG deal. Reason being is I hate it! Not so much anymore, I've been working out & I've gotten to the point where I believe I can run without feeling like I'm dying, rather than the satisfying pain you should feel. Does that make since?lol So, I'm going to try to get the motivation to run&STICK TO IT! ...maybe. :)

What are your goals going to be this year?

Have you ever stuck to a goal that you made? I know I have a hard time with it!

Also, I wanted to share some happy news! My Alexander just got a new car finally! It's beautiful, a Jaguar XK8. Oh, it's so fast, convertible & perfect condition.

I can't wait until summer, driving around with the top down! :)

All I want for Christmas..

is an engagement ring! Haha, I told my boyfriend that I would love a ring for Christmas. How unromantic right? Well, I don't want to be pushy but I would love any type of ring, engagement or not, from him. :) I can't wait until the day I marry him!


&i wanted to share this with you as well! Look how different I look in these two photo's!

Senior Pictures 2010

Random picture taking 2011

Isn't the difference insane! I don't know what's even changed but it's strange to see such a big difference. .

I wish I had blue eyes. Red hair. Smaller nose. Smaller body, less fat. But sadly no..I am what I am &I'm trying the best I can to accept me..for me!

&if you have high self esteem, I envy you. Share your secrets on how you love you. :)
