So I know I usually write about my day, or about something light-hearted and funny, but today I'm going to take it down a few notches...actually a lot of notches. Probably due to the overdose of hormones. Thank you mother-nature. ;)
Anyhoo, I get the biggest epiphanies at the most random times. I was walking to my car after school and suddenly I looked around at the gorgeous sunset and thought...'man there is no where else in the world I'd rather be at this moment.' I have been so busy and so consumed with my life that I haven't even got the chance to understand the fate of the situation. I know I always say, I miss home or I miss my mom...which don't get me wrong...I totally do! I just honestly believe that things happen for a reason. It could be good or bad. People hurt you so you learn that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your parents give you tough love so you learn to grow up. You become broke so you can learn to save your money. My point is that every bad thing can be turned into a positive.
When I first found out I'd be moving 3,000 miles away from home, I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out! After the initial shock, I went kicking and screaming....totally kidding...sorta. If I didn't move here, where would I be? Sure there are people that I miss...a lot...and things that I feel were left unfinished, but look what came knocking at my door. I love my school. I love my friends. I love my neighbor. I spend more time with the people in my class than I do at home. Sure I get down sometimes and people piss me off but looking at the big picture, all those little things don't seem to matter. There are people who have hurt me deeply but I can't let the bad things drastically define who I am on the inside.
We played this game a few days ago and after all was said and done, we realized the game represented life and all that it has to offer. Where will you go? Will you decide to change the rules? How many obstacles are you willing to jump over to get to where you want to be? And most importantly...that you need to take each day at a time. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet...so live in the present. Life is so precious and many people tend to take all that it has to offer for granted.
All of us have been let down by someone or something...ya it sucks. But like I said, people change and these things happen. You just have to take the time to sit and realize...for some reason, this is where I was meant to be at this time and place.

It's OCTOBER!
Yay! I just LOVE October. How can you not enjoy all the flavors, scents and decorations of fall? It's October 1st and I already have my Halloween costume and my Halloween decorations up! Gotta absolutely love the dollar tree. I literally spent $11 on all my decor. My neighbor/best friend did up her lawn too. We are the badasses on the block right now. Haha! Not to mention, I have sadly joined the Scentsy train and I am ADDICTED. My house smells like spicy fall. A woman could go broke off this stuff!
So school has been going awesome! I love waking up every morning to go to school. I love my classmates, my teacher, everything! Our class is 25 strong and we are all just the perfect little family. Everyone talks to everyone and we jam out everyday to all kinds of music! We have been in class for going on 3 weeks now, and I think I have learned more in these past couple weeks then I ever learned in high school. I already know how to curl hair, color hair, and braid hair. Who knew that there was actually chemistry to learn, formulas to remember, and a science to the way you apply hair color? By the way, I have already got my hair done. What a drastic change! Barbie Platinum is no longer my color...now its more like Firecracker Red. BAM! I've definitely got a lot of compliments. Why did I not become a redhead sooner??
I have lost about 5-7 pounds since the last time I blogged. I feel and look like I have lost more, but it's definitely a start! I really love my Halloween costume and it looks great on me. I just really want to lose another 10 pounds by the end of this month. I'm going to continue those diet pills and have a mini-competition with my neighbor. Let's see how this goes. I was hoping that having a "buddy", would help with the encouragement. Hopefully I am not tempted by the mounds of pumpkin cookies, pies and drinks... -_-

Paul Mitchell!
Well, I know my last post was about me picking up the slack and what not...but I have been SUPER busy, so I do apologize for taking forever and a day to write this one! Let's see...what has happened since my last post? A quick update...I HAVE been eating a lot more healthy. I cheated twice. Once when I was at Busch Gardens and then once on my road trip to go visit the Husband in North Carolina. I definitely paid for those though! Amazing how once you stop eating fast food and eating healthy how much your body changes. I felt like COMPLETE crap after I ate it! I don't know if I lost any weight at all because I don't have a scale. I remember telling you how I started the diet pills. They definitely suppressed my appetite. Kind of made me a little tiny bit nauseous combined with my birth control, but I guess that's a good thing! Yay for no eating, woo! Just kidding.
I was walking in the mornings and nights with my dogs and my neighbor but ever since I have been getting ready for school, things have slowed their pace.
I started school at Rudy and Kelly - a Paul Mitchell Partner School - yesterday. I already love it. I met this awesome girl who is completely crazy and loud like me, so thats always nice. There is a 28 year old Navy wife, which is good for me too on a different level. And let me not forget the fabulous gay guy who stood up and said..."hey y'all just so you know I do drag this Saturday night at (blank) and I will give you a flyer to meet me, Ms. Lucy!". haha YOU GO GIRL.Our first day was filled with excitement and loud in your face people. We were welcomed by a pancake and bacon breakfast and that was followed by them telling us that we had to go into the closest shopping center and celebrate "FREE HUG" day. That was interesting all by itself. Mostly old people who were more than happy to see all us crazy girls out there on the side walk. I even had some lady come up to me and say "Can I atleast motorboat those??". That was fun...and NO she did not get to motorboat me. Sorry to disappoint you! haha.
When we came back to the classroom we had to stand up and tell a little bit about ourselfs and were handed a random question to answer. My paper said..."what celebrity have you been mistaken for?". I havent ever been mistaken for anyone but I have been told I look like Chelsea Handler. Thats probably for my humor.
Today we got our entire Paul Mitchell Cosmetology kit except for the scisssors. They probably don't trust us with them yet because they are VERY expensive. Im talking about hundreds of dollars. They are the GOLD of the kit. I made a video of all the supplies we recieved, so you can go check it out!
Anyhoo! I must get homework done before I pass out because I am exhausted! This girl hasn't had to wake up for anything in the past 4 months!!
Until next time!

Week 1: Look Out Baby
I know I usually update weekly but I felt a certain drive to write another blog today. Look at that, progress already? I cross my fingers. So, in my last blog I mentioned something about losing the weight I had recently gained. I am not only doing this for my husband, which I'm sure is going to appreciate it once he gets back, but I am losing it for myself. I can't help but feel absolutely horrified when I look at a picture of myself or feel like the damn Pillsbury Dough Boy every time I put my clothes on in the morning. Mmm..Pillsbury crescent rolls...ANYWAY! I went out and purchased the SlimQuick diet pills from Target the other day, along with Slimfast chocolate shakes. I got the Slimquick without the caffeine because I cannot handle those jitters and for some reason the caffeine likes to follow me into bed...damn you caffeine. So I will let you know how they work out for me regardless.
I started my day off with a nice brisk walk, lots of crunches on my workout balance ball and a few push ups. I bought a jump rope but I think I'll save doing that exercise for sometime when I can do it outside without anyone watching due to the fact that every time I jump, my tits decide to hit me in the face, almost knocking me out. Okay that was an exaggeration, but they do feel that way.
After my little shenanigans, I ran to the post office where I think the post-man was enjoying my workout outfit a little too much because he forgot to charge me for my packaging. Thanks for enjoying my assets mr. post-man! My wallet greatly appreciates it. After that, I thought it would be a good idea to take a trip to the market to stock up on healthy food. I actually ended up spending $100...damn groceries are getting more expensive by the second! With that $100 I bought:
- Almond Milk
-Lots of Veggies
-Fruits
-Turkey Bacon
-Mahi Mahi
-Salmon
-Oatmeal
-FiberOne Choc Brownies...Oh em gee..amazing by the way. (only 90 cal!)
-Low fat Cottage Cheese
-Multigrain Whole Wheat Bread
-Carb Balance Tortillas
For some reason, whenever the husband is gone I tend to buy healthier food and cook healthier. Damn you, honey! Now I know why they say you gain the Married 15! He loves his chips and cookies...and how could anyone resist the temptation when it's luring you in like that!? Good thing he's gone for a month and that means I have a whole month to change my lifestyle.
So far, so good.....until next time...

Procrastination!
Procrastination...a term defining what I do best. I never used to be like this, so what the hell is up?? I can't stick to something for more than two weeks, or even two freaking days! I'm even sitting here- been out of the shower for a whole thirty minutes or so- and I haven't even brushed my hair yet because it takes too much effort to climb the twenty stairs up to my bathroom to get the brush. I just don't seem to have the drive and inspiration that I used to.
In spite of all my lazy glory, I have decided to make a vow. A vow to you, my readers, and a vow to myself to push myself harder. Push myself to lose the 15 pounds I gained from moving. Push myself to do things on time. AND...Push myself to write my blog on time! (Yeah I know, I was even two days late writing this). I will be updating you weekly on my progress...or not. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts, POSITIVE THOUGHTS!
I can and WILL do this...

Things I Just Don't Understand.
As I sat here and racked my brain for about a whole freaking week, I finally thought of a great topic to rant and rave about. Things that I just don't understand. This whole week has just been a plain mess! What happened to my awesome weekend?? By the way...strip beer pong...legit. Anyway! I thought the best way to approach this topic would be a list...and here it goes:
1.) Videogames. I do not understand how grown MEN can sit there and play video games for hours. I mean, do not get me wrong because once in a while I do have a guilty pleasure for The Sims 3 on PC. (....Mainly because I like making all the sims sluts and vampires.) Anyway...back on track! I am just plain tired of sitting and watching while my husband plays Battlefield 3 and Madden every single day when he gets home from work. Um HELLOOO!? Nice to see you too, hun. Not to mention the hundreds of dollars spent each month for this "hobby"- as he likes to call it. With all the money spent on video games, I could have bought myself dozens of sexy lingerie *whistle* for him to watch ME play around in instead! I mean, I can role-play too ya know...
2.) Most Military Wives. Yes I know, I am one of them. But in my defense...I am a rare breed of them and I am really, truly only friends with the wives of the same breed. You know who you are ladies. :) Here's the thing: I do not sit and talk about how wonderful and perfect my husband is. I do not sit there and kiss his feet and talk about how I miss him when he's at work. Most importantly I do not talk about it over Facebook statuses! I mean come on ladies, be real! I, and everyone else knows damn well your husband does not walk on water. He farts. He eats YOUR left over food. He leaves his dirty clothes, towels, dishes, etc. everywhere! Now I'm not saying I don't love my husband because trust me, I do. I love him more than words can explain. I just wish all these other military wives would give the world a break and be real! No ones going to judge you because your husband is an asshole at times...we're all judging you because you think he's not.
3.) Home-bodys. Random topic, but it ties into my week so I thought I'd add it. Probably due to the fact that I am going absolutely stir-crazy and pretty much about ready to gauge my eyeballs out with a spoon. I will be starting school in about 18 days and I'm curious as to how my view on this topic will be then. Back to the subject. I don't get how people can just want to sit at home all day and not want to explore different things. Might be my Sagittarius nature to be a social butterfly but my husband is a fellow Sag and we're totally opposite when it comes to going out. I love doing random spontaneous things. Go flying a kite, go riding a bike, go see museums and aquariums, get too drunk for words and go on an adventure...experience life and all that there is to it! If I do not make anymore friends soon, I think I might have to join the traveling circus. Just kidding...
I have a million other topics and I could probably go on for days, so I'll save it for later. Happy Friday!
Until next time...

My Very First Blog...Ever.
Well, hello there. It's Friday night and no I am not dancing on table tops and taking too many shots. How am I spending it you ask? By eating my bowl of rocky road ice cream and sitting alone with my two wonderful dogs - who by the way think they are human. It would be much easier to focus on this blog if Harley, my eleven month old beast, wasn't drooling all over my hands as I type this. Yum...slobber-filled rocky road. Gotta love it!
The Husband is out on a "boarding" for work and I am left to sit and watch all the chick flicks my heart desires! For any of you who don't know, my husband and I have just relocated to good 'ol Norfolk, Virginia. I am naturally a Southern California Princess, born and raised! If you know anything about us Southern Californians it's practically considered 'taboo' to travel to the -dun dun dun- East Coast! (Insert screams). Traveling across the states was interesting. Mostly desert until you hit Dallas, Texas and then BAM! - it's all back roads and country livin', sweet tea and all!
I haven't made many friends here yet. Upside is we have awesome neighbors. Weekends are spent mastering the ancient art of beer pong at their place. That is until I've had enough and the Husband has to slump me over his shoulder and carry me 'cross the lawn and up the stairs where I spend the next twelve hours in bed sleeping off that wonderful hangover. Other than that, all the other people that I have met have been Coast Guard wives with kids. Yuck..kids. By the way people, do not ask. I will not, I repeat, not having anything cookin' in my oven anytime soon! Charger and Harley will do for the next five years or so. :)
Well, I guess I should get back to my drool flavored rocky road. So long and good night. Until next time...
