Money (and a nose ring) down the drain...

Saturday, September 24th, I felt like getting my nose pierced, and so I did. BY MYSELF. All the cool kids are doing it.

I loved it. Money well spent AND it didn't hurt at all. I kept thinking "why did I wait so long to do this?!"

Isn't it cute?!

So Sunday night, I'm being a good little girl, following the directions (like I always do... HA! HA!) I'm cleaning it really good, because I do NOT want it to get infected, when all of sudden it starts poking out way more than usual. No big deal, right? WRONG. I call my friend Danielle (who rocks her nose ring) and ask if it should have a ball or something on the inside of my nose.

D: "Yeah. Is yours straight or curled?"

ME: "It's not straight. I'm scared it will fall it out."

D: "Oh yeah, if it's curled, it's NOT going to fall out."

ME: "Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks Danielle."

After that phone call, I was feeling pretty certain I was just over-reacting (which I have been known to do.)

I go to clean it ONE more time, just in case. I'm swabbing all around my piercing and it starts to get pushed out really far and I stick my hand underneath my nose to catch it if it were to fall. Well lo and behold, it fell out, PAST my hand into the drain.

My jaw dropped. I was in complete and total shock that, that just happened. REALLY?!?!?!? I only had it for 25 hours.

This WOULD happen to me.

Just another manic monday....

Seriously. I'm not a fan of monday's. This day always drrragggs on for me.
Although, nothing terrible has happened, I just wish it was over with. I have a few countdowns going on, so I'm anxious for the days to come.


Countdown Number One: My boyfriend comes back from North Carolina, EEEEEP!
Countdown Number Two: The Marine Corps Ball, YESSSSSSS!
Countdown Number Three: Thanksgiving, ready for some TURRRRKEY.
Countdown Number Four: Christmas! It's the most wonderful time of the YEAR!

Brothers are cool.

I absolutely love my brothers. I am so BLESSED to have three very funny and protective brothers who are always looking out for me.

My brothers are better than your brothers.

*My oldest brother was not able to make it for the pictures. SAD FACE.

Frequent Flyer Miles.

WOAH.
I have traveled so much (to Texas) I could seriously have frequent flyer miles...is that what that's called?
Anyways.
My last trip to Texas was last week. (WOW! A week already?) I had a BLAST. Seriously, I LOVE Hamilton. Yeah, it's small and some people hate it, but I don't. I miss it so much.
Did I mention it was one of the (if not the biggest) events for H-town? DOVE FEST weekend is always crazy. Sometimes, a little TOO crazy.
*Fyi, Hamilton is like the dove capital of the world...or something like that.
I, unfortunately, didn't have enough time to see everybody or do things I had planned. I was constantly on the go, but for the most part, I managed to run on a few hours of sleep. For those of you who don't know, I value my sleep, so much. It's super difficult for me to pull all-nighters. Crazy, right?!

Well, now that I've said everything I wanted to, I'm going to go facebook creep. I mean.....

You know what grinds my gears?

There are several things that I just have to vent about. So if you get offended, I apologize in advance, but I must get them off my chest.

1) When people add people (on facebook) they don't even know.

(Uhm, hello. That's not safe AND it doesn't look good on your part.)

2) Girls who wear athletic tights and a really cute top.

(I'm sorry I just don't find that attractive.)

3) When pregnant women smoke.

(I'm sorry, but really?! I just think it's selfish.)

4) When people grope each other in public.

(Come on people, have a little bit of class.)

5) When people write on somebody's wall and say "text me."

(REALLY?! In the time it took you to write that, you could have already texted them.)

Okay, I'm done. For now. I feel much better.

My life is average;

WOW, I haven't blogged in such a long time, but I really don't have anything too exciting to blog about. I mean, it's not like I attended a Royal Wedding or anything. To be honest, I really didn't care about it. I didn't even bother watching it on tv. I'm not the only one though, right?!

The only exciting news that I have to share is that I am NOT moving back to Texas in May, like I had planned. Want to know something, though? I'm perfectly okay with it. It's so neat to think you have everything all planned out, and then it doesn't happen...SOMETHING BETTER happens, instead!! Thank You, Lord! I am very BLESSED to have a job (that I love), an amazing family, and super awesome friends. Man, Jesus sure is awesome!!!!!

Don't give me no rules, all I got are rules.

Tatted up.
