Home Sweet Home

I thought that moving was going to be hard, but its actually been much easier than expected. I'm all settled in and starting in on making plans, an addition to my goal list by the way, is that I wanna get a local library card.  We only moved here last the fall of 2011 and I never got around to it seeing as I was in college at the time. Also I started a new account on Polyvore, a collage site that somewhat specializes in putting together outfits from their data bank of clothing. If you wanna check out mine, just click this link here. Now to be honest these are the high end clothes, and I'd never be able to afford them so I use these as more inspiration to find items like those featured for cheaper...don't tell the brand names, they'll hunt me down. Just kidding but anyway, i'll be posting more soon as things get done!

Schools almost over with

I'm scared as hell for finals week. But than again, who isn't? I'm excited though too. I get to move back home for the summer.A week after I move home, I get to watch my little brother graduate from high school. Then he's moving back from my dad's house and I can't wait to have him home with us, where he belongs. And then the rest of my summer is going to be spent as a historical interpreter intern at Living History Farms in Des Moines, Iowa! I can't wait for summer to get under way,....just have to get through those damn finals....

Evening Walk

It was a beautiful day today and I thought that an evening stroll to take some pictures would be a great way to top off a great day. So I thought I'd share some of my pictures with you!

I hope you enjoy the pics !

Let's set some goals!

So summer is approaching, (only 3 weeks of the semester left, AAAAAHHH!) And I'd like to set some summer goals so that I can not waste my summer( it wouldn't be anyway but still, time to be uber productive!) So here's my summer goal list:

1. Make the most of my internship at Living History Farms- I'm super excited for this opportunity and want to use it to its fullest, including making friends with other interns, networking with employees and volunteers and doing well in the academic portion of the program.
2. I want to take tons of photos over the summer and post them here for you guys!
3. I'll be posting my summer book list in my next post.  I want to read at least half of those books over the summer.
4. Summer movie list will come after the book list! I'll prolly be working on this list forever but i wanna get through.....lets say a quarter of them over the summer.
5. I want to go to Zombie Burger!!!- I've never been there and hear that it's awesome, so I might just have to treat myself.
6. I should prolly learn how to drive...(don't make fun, I never got around to it)

So those are my goals for the summer! What are yours? leave them in the comments!!

That Moment When...

Okay so I have some terrible habits. I'm willing to admit that. Most of them are under control for the most part, save for singing in public and using the phrase "That Moment When" and following it with either a completely relevant and ridiculous statement or a really obvious statement. For instance, here are a few from the past few days:

• That moment when my mini-fridge with mustaches is sexier then most of the people I've met.
  
  (Pretty sexy, right?)
• That moment when you know you should study but your bed wraps its cuddly sheets around you and says "No!
• Or  the moment when you're 20 years old and act like a 5 year old cause you prefer cuddling stuffed animals and watching cartoons to partying
• That moment when I bought a perfume based off Eve(from the Bible) purely because the first line of the description was "You had one job to do, Eve!" (Original Sin by GeekChic Cosmetics)
• That moment when you're wondering whether or not to point out that the young gentleman who exited the room down the hall from you left his fly open...and unbottoned....barely has his pants on....
• That moment when you feel like a genius for solving today's crossword...on a monday
  
  (Like a boss!)
• That moment when I'm pretty sure you guys get the point of this list

So I guess the point is that....I need to be institutionalized..no but the point is that a little ridiculousness now and the is relished by the wisest men....or women....but I kinda over do it....so tone it down...then its relished.
