Currently (vol. 1)

Listening.. to the clicking of keyboards. It's funny that we can hear this sound and then all of a sudden you have like a chorus of ticking because secretly, and maybe subconsciously, you are now trying to type louder than the other person. 

Thinking..right away, that my email is taking way too long to update, which means that it will be a busy Friday. Overall, that I wish I could just take a trip somewhere and just work from somewhere fun.  

Smelling.. Someone made toast... and it is intoxicating. I may go sit in the break room just to smell the toast. 

Wishing.. That so many people would not complain about the simple things. There has been so much chaos lately that the problem they have trying to upload their stolen music seams childish to complain about. It is all I have been hearing lately, silly little complaints. 

Hoping..that I get my AC fixed soon for my fishes sake. The water in their tank was a tad bit warmer than normal. Hopefully they do not turn to stew with the heat and lack of insulation. 

Wearing..Ankle skinnys and tanks that probably aren't the most appropriate to wear into work. But I have a sweater to go over just in case. All of it is very comfy though. 

Loving.. my UP24 from Jawbone that was gifted to me. Never have I been yelled at by a device to go to bed. But this thing tells me when it is bed time. 

Wanting..  The most perfect house that I found in Downtown Historic Phoenix with the gorgeous hard wood floors, wainscoting, and the perfect combination of open space and level changes. Plus it is only 300k for a fully renovated house which is decent for that location. Or I want to meet the Property Brothers. They have become my favorite little home renovation duo. I think I would go total fan girl. 

Needing.. fffoooooooodddd... and a new book to read. I have been on a hiatus from my reading and blogging, so ultimately I feel like a slacker. 

Feeling..Bleh. I think that is the best way to put it. I am happy that it is Friday, and I am more or less having a good start to it all. But it still feels like something is off. Ever have one of those days?

What are you currently up to? 

Weekly Wrap Up

Before I get to the daily grind of my day, and it is going to be a fabulous one, lets go over where Ir really want to be which is Saturday. 

Friday: 

As much as I wanted to go and check out the newest movies in theatre, I felt like CRAP so I stayed in. While I managed to take a 5 hour nap, I also managed to clean my entire kitchen. It was clarifying and extremely boring.

Saturday: 

I managed to get up early and go to Home Depot. I really, really, REALLY like going to Home Depot and Lowes even though I know that 3/4 of the stuff I want to do to my house I cannot afford in this short time frame. But I managed to get a new doggy door for Ghillie to put in while my grandparents are out of town for the month.I also managed to go to Costco. Needless to say I do not have to buy shampoo, conditioner, Excedrine, or tampons for the next 6-8 months. I feel sort of successful in life.  

FYI if I tried to buy a new doggy door while the grandparents were in town it would be fixed with duck tape and bailing wire. Because that is how my grandpa rolls. And this face does not appreciate duck tape and bailing wire. 

He is just so happy all the time! 

Sunday: 

Sunday was a little rough, only because I had to say goodbye to one of the sweetest little puppies. No he did not die, but he did go to a new foster home with two puppies his size. It was a bitter sweet moment watching someone else take him, because although I told myself that I wasn't attached. I did fall a little bit in love with that little Boston Terrier face of his. 

And to drown out all of my sorrows, I went to see Step Up All In. I will say... I was totally expecting this to be a lot better. And although some of it was good, the story line and dance scenes were not up to the level I expected. I mean they had some of the best, and it just fell short. Hats off to them for using Emilio Dosal from SYTYCD though! I was super happy to see him in it, because I voted for him in the show.


That's all I have for now folks. Time to refill the coffee and get back to work. 

Sunday Social

Happy Sunday everyone! Well this week has been full of adventures. I temporarily fostered a little Boston Terrier that I have named Thor. I have since been able to link up with the Boston Terrier rescue of Arizona  to get him a foster family and hopefully a forever home. I leave here in a hour or so to meet up with the lady in charge of the rescue. 

So this week, besides watching over this little guy, I have been trying to schedule all of my little blog life.I have had some success with a couple of blog planners made up by two awesome individuals. If you want to check them out head to these two blogs. 

Designs by Emily F: Free Printable Blog Planner

A Dose of Paige: Free Printables

I will be posting soon about what my little blog binder looks like.

Let the Sunday Social commence!

1.) One show that I wish was on Netflix that isn't. 

Ok I was a huge Sailor Moon fan, and still kinda am. So I wish that they would have it released on Netflix. Even on disc. I know hulu now has it but I really am having a hard time agreeing to pay to that on top of Netflix to watch one show. 

2.) One song I wish they would play on the radio more.

I actually pray for them to stop playing songs. All of my favorites end up being played so much that I hate them. I listen to a lot of Spotify anyways.

3.) My favorite song to become a total rockstar to in my car. 

Well any song that just kind of builds. Lately it has been Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses. Or you stick with the classic rock out song, Wannabe by the Spice Girls.

4.) One movie/tv show that I quote a lot.

Pitch Perfect

5.) One silly thing that I do daily. 

It all seems normal to me. But I guess.... Hiding my trashcan in the bathroom. I do it mainly so that Ghillie will not tear it up, but there are times where it is completely empty or he is not even home and I still put it in there. Damn dog has me trained.   

Real and Quick Book Review: Along for the Ride

 

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

Rating: 3/5 

Main Character: Auden 

Favorite Character: Heidi

Character I disliked the most: Auden's Dad

What I liked the most: I love how some of the characters truly grew with the book. Easy read, that made you feel slightly happy and mushy at the end. 

What irritated me the most: I think that at one point I started mocking Auden by saying "first world problems" because literally the book was full of them. 

Your parents got a divorce and are acting like idiots- first world problems.

You get to stay out until the ass crack of dawn, and your parents don't freak out or ground you because you don't have a curfew- first world problems. 

You have no friends because you try to keep to yourself, but end up becoming a friend magnet in the end- first world problems. 

Oh that boy you have been making googley eyes at actually likes you back but you create your own drama and push him away- first world problems. 

Overall feelings: This was a pretty good pool read, and needless to say my poor copy got a tad bit wet. The book had a good flow, but was nothing too spectacular. All in all it was not one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books but it was still pretty good. 

Weekend started off right!

IT'S MONDAY!!!! I don't think I have actually been this excited to be at work and for it to be Monday. I am not sure what form of crack I took this morning to be this happy but once I figure it out, I promise I will share. Maybe.... 

So Friday this happened! 

All because some person we all know and love got a RAISE!!! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! It pretty much set the tone of my weekend knowing that all of the crap that I have to deal with sometimes, truly pays off. I love my company and it's good to know they love me too.

Saturday

Well I spent $372 at Costco with someone else's money. It was fantastic! The worst part was then having to carry all of it up a flight of stairs. In the heat....

But then it proceeded to down pour later. And I did what any self respected Arizonian would do... I ran out to my patio and proceeded to dance and play in the rain until it started pelting me. And I watched the Internship (which I love), Tweeted about it, and then my post was favorited by the guy in the movie who plays Sal, from Sal's Pizza. I had a small fangirl moment when I saw who favorited it.  

Sunday 

I worked extra hours to make some blogcation spending money, but then I went home and cleaned a little and proceeded to watch Pitch Perfect and make a pan of brownies. Because that was how this awesome weekend needed to end. :) 

Crushed it. 

Sunday Social

So I am going to keep it short and sweet this Sunday, mainly because I am still in celebration mode and partially because my kitchen really needs some attention. So yea. 

Gum or Mints?

Gum. I always end up eating mints like candy and then not feeling well because I ate the mints like candy.

Tea or coffee?

Okay... what kind of a crap question is this??? Obviously my love for both of these items is strong. So are we talking could only have one of them for the rest of my life? I can't even decide between that! 

Fruits or Veggies?

Definitely fruits, I have never been a veggie person.

TV or Movies?

Netflix (does that count?) If not then hmmm... TV because eventually all of the movies wind up there. HA! 

Candles or diffusers?

Candles! I never feel like diffusers actually work. I love the Target Red Velvet Cupcake soy candle. YU-UM!

August Wishes

HOW IS IT AUGUST??!!! I swear it was only March a month ago. This year has flown by so quickly that I haven't been able to keep up. Anyone  else feel this way? 

So with today being the start of August, one must start the month off right. This month I want to:

 -Donate all of the clothes I do not wear. I literally have 2 closets full of clothes and yet I only wear a few things. Time to do some fall organization.

- Refinish the top to my coffee table by making it a wood top rather than glass. 

-Buy my very own vacuum cleaner so that I do not have to keep borrowing others. And a Swifter Wet Jet, because I hate to mop and the Rubbermaid one I bought is broken. 

- Send the reptile that has been chilling at my house since February (who was supposed to go to his real home in May) back to his human. I hate feeling like that thing is dead and I really want my book case back. 

- Eat all of the food that I buy. I am really REALLY bad at overbuying and letting things go bad. It needs to stop. 

-Read more books instead of watching TV. My wonderful friend bought me a Kindle Fire HDX because I carted his butt around everywhere and made him dinner a few nights when he was working like crazy. So now I need fill up my little library and get reading!

- Get back to sponsoring people, I have been MIA for far to long.

- Reply back to every comment posted!

What are your goals for August?
