What I've Learned Wednesday

I only have one fact for you this week.

Completing a level 3 Jillian workout is a bad idea if one has just come from the homecoming tailgate.
 To be more specific: vodka soaked cherries and squats don't mix.

You will regret every second of this workout and in the end....
you will feel like death.

Dear Pimms

Dear Pimms,
                 It was so nice to see you again this weekend.  You looked so nice dressed up with those strawberries, orange and cucumber slices.  The colors really complement you. 


I'm really sorry about how I left things back in London. You had been so good to me. You were always there when my only choices were stale pub cider and ale.  I loved that.  I really did

And then, I just left.  I didn't even say goodbye. 

I was surprised to see you at Cody's bbq last weekend.  Spending that time with you brought me back to the time we shared in London.   The warm nights. The british people. It really was magical wasn't it?

I wish we could have it all again. But I'm afraid that can never be. 

So much has changed. I've changed. 
I'm not on vacation anymore.  That carefree attitude I had back in August is no more. 
I'm sorry but....I study now. 

Also, I can't buy you were I live. 

Don't take this as a goodbye. I know we'll meet again someday. 
Perhaps in London. Or you know, Cody's house. 

Until next time dear friend. Take care

Friday Smile

Here's a quick little video to brighten you're Friday night.

If you haven't seen it already I'll fill you in.

A poor little baby goat is stuck in the water but don't fret because he has a valiant savior.

I did something today..

So I was like 100% gonna write a nice blog post yesterday...

and the day before....

but see, I was a little preoccupied with something and just couldn't get my mind off it.
Something other than the university.

I'll give you hint. 

This thing involved me drawing all over myself last night.

You know how you do when you're little and then you're substitute teacher tells you not too.

Pssssh...what a stupid pants.


But I digress.
Did you guess what it is yet?



A TATTOO!



I've always thought about getting one and my Mel friend is in town this weekend (AND it's her Birthday!!)  so we decided to go for it!! 
If you haven't already stopped by her blog to say Happy Birthday you should probably get on that.
She got the outline of Montana on her arm and it's SO COOL you guys.
I'm so glad she was there to do this with me cuz I really don't know if I would have been brave enough without her. 
Seriously, go say happy birthday.
DO IT.

Aaaand back to me and my tat....

Here's the dealio,
I feel like I've spent a great deal of my life worrying about everything I do and end up not LIVING.  
Obviously this is unacceptable.
I have wonderful friends (as mentioned above) and an amazing family who I know will be there for me no matter what.
So really, what am I so afraid of??

So now I have this awesome little reminder of all the love in my life and the fact that
I can do anything.

And the fact that I'm a bad-ass.

It may be a little tattoo but it's not like it was drawn on with puppy breath and unicorn giggles.


So here's to taking chances, living and LOVING!!

CHEERS!

What I've Learned Wednesday

That be the Netherlands folks. From the AIR!
ooooooohhhh


Hay! Guess what?
I'm like, 100% back in school now and not at all anywhere in Europe.

That means I'm getting my learnin' on.

And that also means I'm gonna tell you about it...

Awesome sauce!!

1. Magpies eat mouses.  According to my biology professor who witnessed it. As in it happened in front of his FACE HOLE! Yeah. Mother nature be crazy.

2. Just because you took spanish before does not mean it will be a cake walk in college. 
Un poco deficil. No?

3. Leviathan.

4. Louie XIV was extra fancy. With his dancing and mirrors and sun-ness.

5. One should not drink too much muggle made butterbeer. It WILL make you sick.
Damn muggles.


Now I must off so that I may read my face off. 
WHEEEEEE!

Business as Usual

Well it's back to business after the nice weekend. 

I had the good fortune of attending another beautiful wedding and it was simply gorgeous.
I love it when I get to meet all the people that are important to friends of mine.
And I love it even more when they're actually fun to be with!

And then for the magical day that is Labor Day I had a nice little BBQ with the fam. 
Meat, 
fire, 
family.
It seriously doesn't get better than that.

And now, after all that fun it's back to school and work for me.
Boo.

Also, I didn't take any pictures of my weekend....

But look! 


It's a PIGEON!!
