Hey everyone, I have exciting news to share with you, later this month - can't believe it is July already - I am flying to Florida to look at a house and if I like it, there is a pretty big possibility we might move there! I'm excited but also a little scared at the idea of moving almost 900 miles away. I've always lived in the Washington D.C/Baltimore area but I've always been the type of person that wanted to live many places so although I'm a bit nervous about it I'm really excited at the prospect as well, the cost of living is much less in Florida and it seems like a less stressful place to be.  Plus I mean beach, sunny skies, and year around flip flop weather is nothing to throw a beach ball at. If it works out that I get there and decide I don't like the house we have decided to move out of the place we live now either way, which is such a huge relief to me because as some of you may know I really don't care for my current living situation. My only issue now is I'm really impatient so I'm going to be counting down the days till I get to fly to Florida and then after that till we finally get to move. It makes things a bit odd though because I'm not quite sure what will be happening, just that things will be changing. My boyfriends band had previously been booked to perform at a show in Brooklyn, NY later this month but they had to cancel, I'm bummed it got cancelled because I love visiting New York but the timing was a bit tricky for everyone so it really is for the best. Besides all of that I've done a little shopping here and there, I got some new Monster High dolls, a tribal print dress, some dvds and books, and a purse I have since broke... 

Last weekend I hung out with my friend Summer and we had wildly inappropriate conversations while getting pedicures, I watched the entire season of 'Girls', and I got to indulge in one of my favorite Summertime treats - snowballs with marshmallow on top (my hand looks really weird in that picture). In other news, I'm thinking of changing my hair here soon but I'm not quite sure, I've been really stressed out and feel like my hair is falling out left and right because of it.

There was a pretty big storm that occurred here a few days ago and knocked down a ton of trees and left a bunch of people without power but luckily all is well here. Yesterday I picked up some more library books so between those, my new dvds, The Sims 3, planning a trip, and planning a move, I've felt remarkably busy.

Current guilty pleasure: Wonka Exceptionals Chocolate Waterfall Bar. I have a hard time finding these many places with exception of a local Kmart. I love the combination of milk and white chocolate and they taste so good after being chilled in the freezer for a bit.

Current nail color: Sally Hansen Gem Crush 04 'Bling-Tastic' and OPI 'It's my Year'. Together it reminds me of Mermaid skin/scales/whatever the mythical Mermaids would have. Although saying "current" nail color is reaching a bit since I peeled most of it off and am too lazy to retouch it.

Current playlist:  Shannon and the Clams - 'Tired of Being Bad' / Shannon and the Clams - 'The Warlock in the Woods' / Shannon and the Clams - 'I Wanna Go Home' / Monster High Theme Song (I haven't been listening to much music as of late)

Current drink: Water and Coke, I'm trying to at least be even.

Current food: None and I'm starving.

Current wish list: Hearse Purse, Black Leather Wedges, Snap Frame Purse, Striped hair bows, Ballerina Flats with Skulls, Nike Air Pegasus, Beach Crusier Bike in PINK, Eyelet Skirt - I'm such a sucker for eyelet, Dot Dead Gorgeous Operetta, Polka Dot Blazer, Cherry Print Tank, Rhinestone Top, Black and White Striped Dress, ASOS Pencil Skirt with Sequin Panel, Cherry Print Bathing Suit,

Current needs: "Need" is reaching a bit but more chocolate? Damn you Kmart and your limited hours. A job would be nice too (almost more than chocolate... well job would supply me with money that I could use to buy chocolate sooo... ), I'm getting pretty sick of sitting at home all the time.

Current triumphs: Plans, making a plan is the first step, right?

Current bane of my existence: The air conditioning in my car isn't working despite our efforts to fix it, it's perfect timing too since it has to go out in the hottest months of the year. Good going, Henry.... (Henry is the name of my car).

 

Current celebrity crush: Ralph Fiennes, I watched his episode of 'Inside the Actors Studio' and completely fell in love with him, he seems like such a sweet guy. 

Current indulgence: Sleep, The Sims 3: Showtime, Chocolate.

Current blessing: I would still have to say my sweet kitties, Halo and Hero.

Current outfit: Old Navy snowflake (yes, snowflakes in June) pants and 'Trek yourself before you wreck yourself' Spock shirt.

Current excitement: Plans and finishing my last library book so I can get more.

Current mood: Anxious/Irritated.

First off, I want to thank Courtney, Laura, Allison, and Olivia for the extremely kind words, understanding, and support in my last post, I was truly touched by your comments! I am happy to report that I am feeling a lot better since my last post although I'm not quite sure why I thought there were fireworks on Memorial Day... I think I confused my holidays but fireworks make every holiday better, am I right? Sunday was a truly fantastic day, my boyfriend and I went for steak and joked around about growing goats, wearing Dorito bags as pants, and the secretive Operation: Mufasa. Yes, I know these are all inside jokes so it seems pointless to mention them to an uninformed party but I will forget them if I don't mention them dammit. After chowing on steak we went to Battlefield Park where we had to strategically walk around mud pits, bewildered at the heaps of horse poo along the trail, and picked honeysuckle off branches - I also tucked some behind my ear and then abandoned them after a few run ins with some bees. I took pictures along the way but my phone decided to flake out - does anyone else have an issues with their cell phone camera? Mine is constantly freezing, not saving pictures, won't load, etc... 

I also learned some momentous news while on our walk... my fiance doesn't like Pee-Wee Herman, I literally turned around in the opposite direction and started walking away, how can one not like Pee-Wee, how?! 

On Monday my boyfriend and I went comic book shopping and stopped for some yogurt at a newly discovered (and now favorite) place. We also went back to the park where we discovered the ticks were out in full force, see this is why I avoid going outside. I unfortunately discovered a tick this morning feasting on the side of my rib cage and have been skeeved out ever since, I don't know where that little bugger came from because I washed everything while in full panic mode. On Tuesday we went to the public library where I checked out more books than I should have, per usual, and had some more yogurt.

This 'Witches: The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem' book has the coolest illustrations, I definitely recommend a read. 

This is the best combination - vanilla fro-yo with maraschino cherries, oreo cookie bits, and yogurt chips from Josies Yogurt! It is to die for, why didn't I go for yogurt today? I also got these two cardigans from Torrid on clearance for 50% off, I can't wait to wear them.
