Dress For Grandma

Afternoon guys,

Today my grandparents came over. My grandma and I got dropped off at the mall while my brother, grandpa, and mom went to Golfsmith. This was my first time helping my grandma shop. She needed new slacks, a nice dress, and a top. While she was looking around for pants I would grab more that I thought may work and throw em over my arm with the rest. In hopes that she wouldn't notice lol Think it worked too! She found two pairs of slacks out of the seven or eight she tried. When it comes to style, I had no clue what kind of dresses to look at. I saw this one and decided she should try it on. I went over and showed her asking if she would want to try it and she said sure why not. Probably agreed because I told her to just give it a try. I think it surprised both of us because she actually liked it. Of course it shows a little bit more skin than she would like so she will add her cover up to it. After we left Macy's we were walking to meet up with mom, brother, and grandpa when all of a sudden she asked if we could go into this store. The weird thing was that she was wanting to go into Icing . . . Never thought she would go into that store for herself, but she ended up walking out with a new hat to match her dress!

After shopping we headed over to the nearby Olive Garden for lunch. I wasn't terribly hungry so I had my bruschetta and shared with my brother. In return he shared his pasta with me. Of course mom told the waitress we were celebrating our birthdays so we got these cute little ice creams with pink and blue candles. My brother's birthday is this Thursday and mine is this Friday so they are coming up soon.

It's kind of hectic still so I will be behind on blog posts, but after this week shouldn't be too bad.

Father's Day

Hey there,

I'm sure you all know that yesterday was Father's Day. It was the first time the family has been able to go out in a while. We got up and went to the theater to see How to Train Your Dragon II. Have you guys seen the first one? The first one was great but the second was even better! Don't normally get food during movies, but I was wanting dippin' dots. Of course I chose to wear white shorts and of course I dropped one. Bright orangish pinkish redish circle on my butt. Luckily it was low so nobody could really see it!

Dad wanted to go to IHOP for dinner after the movie. I don't know when the last time I've been in an IHOP. Regardless, sounded good to me! Mom got sandwich and dad got a turkey dinner.

My brother got chicken strips with fries and I got choc chip pancakes, bacon, hash browns, and eggs. It was a lot so my brother and I shared our food.


Guess college has caused my appetite to grow because I ate nearly all of it. An interesting day over all, but I'd say it was pretty calm. Dad got to open his gifts when we got home. He got new slippers and a box of the new cashew brittle!

I hope you enjoyed most of your day. Didn't feel like a Sunday huh? Maybe next year you can sleep in, read the paper, and watch tv. I love you. Thank you for everything that you have done for me (you know).

You Had One Job -.-

Hi guys,

Before I start I will admit that I am somewhat low on sleep, could be PMSing, and stressing due to finals.

 Finished my math final an hour and a half early and was super hungry. So ended up going to Cafe V for one of my newly found favorite sandwiches. The grilled cheese + bacon! Reminds me of the potato wedges from Jack In The Crack (that's what some of my fam calls Jack In The Box). Grabbed a form for the grill, marked bacon and grilled cheese then went to grab other foods while I wait. The girl called me over when it was done and it looked weird. Why? Because the breads were facing opposite directions. If that doesn't make sense, imagine the rounded part of the bread pointing up on the bottom slice and down on the top slice. Wasn't going to make a big deal out of it because I am capable of turning a piece of bread around. I walked to a different empty counter and opened my sandwich. That's when I saw the horror!! JK . . . kind of lol She messed up. The cheeses were on opposite sides when open, but that means they are on the SAME side when closed! Who does that?!?? All I wanted was a simple grilled cheese + bacon sandwich! Had to change up the arrangement of the bacon so I could get cheese and bacon in every bite! Yeaaa I crazy. Shouldn't have been so upsetting, yet it was -.-

"Indoor Picnic"

Good evenin!

So tonight was the night. Schatzi made yummy bbq chicken sandwiches for our dinner. It was adorable. We pretty much had a mini indoor picnic (mental note to add indoor picnic to my list of things to do)! Chicken sandwiches, fruit salad, salad, and tea. He surprised me when he pulled out paper towels, plates, silverware, a serving spoon, AND mayonnaise out of his backpack! Was not expecting that at all.


I served salad and fruit salad and Schatzi was all fancy and made me my sandwich! He put mayonnaise on the roll then scooped on some chicken for me. It did have onions and I don't particularly care for onions, but I tried it with! Then I kinda picked em out . . . Although we guessed that I had gotten all the onions because Schatzi said his didn't have any. Go figure right? But he's right, the flavor would have been off without the onions. Biggie asked me how I felt about having a boyfriend that cooks better than I can. Told her I felt lucky. Which is how I feel every day :)

Thank you for bringing me dinner babe. I ate slow, and picked out the onions but I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. There's something about the simple times like this where I can spend time with my boyfriend without worrying about anything else. Thank you for that. I love you

Be Gone!

Hi there,

Today is the day. My MMW paper is due today at 5pm. I've put a lot of time and effort into this paper. Had to do four different assignments to get to this point. At any point during the class, if I were to fail to do one of the assignments I would automatically fail. A tad bit harsh don't you think? Well I finished a while ago and it's been waiting to finally get turned it. My poor TA said she would bring a suitcase to take all of our papers home to grade!

Next is taking my pile of library books. Not looking forward to that.

Cut Foot

Hi again,

Forgot to tell y'all that I cut my foot today! I was so clumsy today in math class. At first I thought it was just a scratch. I mean I've hurt myself with a lead pencil before, but this time it stung a little more than usual. When it happened I told myself not to look down, but then I did. Saw the blood. No wasn't that much, but still kinda dripped a bit. Wish the picture was clear so you guys could see better, but there's my cut!

Fruit Salad . . . yummy yummy XD

Good evenin everyone!

Finished at Chem help room an hour early today. I was starving! Raced back to the dorm so I could eat my toast and leftover chicken tortilla soup which I took the chicken out of. While I was waiting for the soup to heat, I inhaled some pringles, a cookie, and a few starburst jelly filled gummies! Schatzi is going to come over with dinner tomorrow night! Oh yea, forgot to mention how he came all the way over here last night to give me some more Dump Cake! He's the sweetest :) Sooo since he is making the main parts of dinner, my job is to get salad and make fruit salad! He actually requested it! Makes me so happy when he asks for little things like that. I get the greatest pleasure from making food for my boyfriend. I'ma get to it now. Need to cut all these fruits and mix it up. Don't worry, I'll wait till tomorrow to cut the banana so it doesn't brown. Sadly Cafe V only had green apples but it'll do. Talk to you guys later!

So took about 20 minutes. Yea I know. I do take forever to prep my food, but it's worth it in the end!
