why

Lately i've been noticing a lot of things make me stop and think...WHY?!

Why do people go out to eat and let there phone ring? The other night I went out to eat and this family had atleast 5 phone calls and would answer them and talk loudly at the table. Its so rude!

Why are people always complaining about where they live, yet NEVER move!!! I feel like all my life i've heard people complain about the Eastern Shore yet here they still remain. Be happy with where you live or move so you don't have to make the rest of us miserable. yea im facebooking that haha.

Why on earth are there so many damn political signs up?! Its so annoying. I hate politics and have decided these signs have made politics so unappealing im not even voting this year. I don't give a flying crap who the hell is in office. NObody ever makes a difference anyhow.

So thats what I'm feeling. take it or leave it those are the things that make me go WHY?!!

Alex's Birthday

first of all, what do you think of the MASSIVE picture of myself? haha Its a nice touch I think.

Tomorrow is Alex's 25th birthday! Damn that sounds old. Glad I am a year and a half behind him. Well this birthday I have really struggled and had to be creative to try and make this day special for him. And I really did want it to be special since his family isn't here. I literally have no money because the grass is DEAD. It would figure the year that mom is paying me double what I made last year the grass has died and I haven't been able to cut it but maybe 5 times haha. So I got Alex a t-shirt that has sublime on it and something else. A shirt that he would actually wear in his favorite color, black. And I also painted him a red green yellow and black abstract acrylic on canvas. It is really cool, has a reggae look about it and I think it will be nice behind his drum set. Mom got him his favorite flavor of smith island cake and also crab legs to chow down on. Tonight after he left I began decorating the house with streamers and balloons but then it occured to me to decorate my bedroom! I figured in a smaller space it would have a bigger effect. Its going to be funny when he wakes up in the morning in a sea of streamers. I used 3 rolls on my small room. Its pretty awesome.

Also this week Alex and I bought a canoe! Ok he payed for the majority but I pitched in and paid for the front handle :P We have already been out on in twice and he just got it yesterday! Yesterday we went out on the Pocomoke river and today we went out in Stockton off of George Island Landing. We explored some marsh and then got down in the water and dug around for clams. We took home 17 clams and I steamed them when we got home.

Here are a few of my guilty pleasures...things I am a sucker for:

1. thrift shopping (I think this is ok though haha)

2. cheap sunglasses

3. mac makeup. (I think you guys already knew that though)

4. clutches.

5. a cute bathing suit (thats how i have ended up with 50)

6. tomatoes (yesterday i had tomato soup, tomato and basil panini, and a tomato and mozzeralla salad!)

7. fiesta ware

8. funky clothing!

how in the HELL

do parents do it?! I have been babysitting since about 4pm yesterday and I am going BANANAS! I can't take anymore. All I have done is cook and clean and wash dishes and pick up toys and help Zach use his potty, and wash his hands, constantly! I hardly have time to eat myself. As soon as I am done cleaning up from one meal they are asking for a snack. How in the heck these kids aren't 500 pounds I dont know!

A few weeks ago my mom and I were talking and she said, "I really hope you and Alex wait along time to have kids because once you have them LIFE IS OVER" She wasn't freaking kidding. Mom always has the best advice.

5 favorite foods

my five favorite foods right now (in no particular order)

1. sushi> spider roll, rainbow roll, shrimp asparagas roll

2. greek pitas

3. fried green tomatoes

4. cucumbers

5. salmon

honey and sugar scrub

Honey and Sugar Scrub Mask for face, feet, elbows, knees, or wherever the hell you please!

Ingredients:
equal parts of raw honey and raw sugar.
you can also add in any herbs that you would like.

Directions:
stir together in bowl and tada your finished

I love this scrub and I haven't even bothered buying scrub since I started making it. You can also use olive oil and sugar but I feel like the olive oil stinks and leaves your skin oily. Honey hydrates and kills bacteria so it is awesome for your face. It also leaves your feet very soft. If you use it exclusively for your feet you could throw in some fresh grated mint for a minty zingy scent!

skip de doo

I have been so busy painting! I have found all of this inspiration lately (which is my biggest problem when it comes to painting) and I can't stop coming up with new things to draw and paint! This is actually kind of great! The more I paint the more I learn about different techniques and such.

Secondly, I have been doing very good with becoming Catholic :] This Sunday will be my fourth sunday in a ROW going. If you can believe that one haha. I talked to the lady who is in charge of the Catholic classes on the phone and in person and I start those in fall...I am actually excited about this because the more I learn about Catholicism the more I like it and the less I understand protestants! I feel like I am asking Alex a ton of questions every week about stuff, especially after mass. I can't wait to go to the classes and figure out why some of the things are done the way they are.

Thirdly, I LOVE ALEX :] We have so much fun together. Its really cool that we are starting our 4th year together and I still feel the exact same way I felt about him when we first started seeing each other.

Fourthly, I LOVE JESSICA!!!!!!!! I miss her so much these days its retarded. I didn't see her last weekend and it made me very upset. We are both so busy we don't have time for visiting these days. I am looking at Ben and Carrie's wedding as a romantic getaway for us :P

have an awesome week people.
