so what wednesday:

i got this idea from The CP (who got it from Life After I Dew) and thought i'd try it on for size. this week, i'm saying so what to:

• my hair. it has been a wild mess since all this heat and humidity decided to come into town and i've just stopped trying to even make it look decent. it just looks wild. all the time.
• my messy bedroom. i have plenty of time off to clean it, but i absolutely don't want to do it. (this goes for my bathroom as well.)
• the fact that i am getting old. i can't even make it through a movie anymore without drifting off to sleep.
• not even trying to eat healthy. if i'm craving it, i'm going to eat it. so what.
• the fact that i fell asleep while on the phone with bestie.
• i should be saving money and paying off bills but all i want to do is shop. i have this horribly strong need to have awesome clothes. i think its a disease. no really.
• and the fact that i'm redesigning my blog. again. (please excuse the mess. it will be that way for awhile.)

what are you saying so what to this week?

i'm awkward. luckily, i'm also awesome.

one of my favorite bloggers, sydney, from the daybook, does a fun series called awkward and awesome thursday. it thought this week i'd participate.

awkward:
-going to barnes and noble, buying a book, realizing it was the wrong one, going back "yeah hi, i'm a doofus and bought the wrong book" and exchanging it for the correct one
-having your mom tell you "come watch this video. it will make you bawl." sitting down to watch the video, not bawling (while she does, again)
-having 3 people trying to talk to you all at once and acting like you're somehow able to listen to all 3 of them AT ONCE
-dreams about uber creepy talking raptors that chase you around trying to eat you
-dreams about uber creepy talking robots
-dreams about uber creepy tornadoes that just keep coming and coming and coming (yeah, i had all three last night)
-hearing a co-worker complain about something you've done and letting them know you heard them. later having them say "i didn't know you could hear me" yeah. cause that's kind of like "sorry".

awesome:
-4 day weekends
-buying books
-coming home from work and getting straight into mah jammies
-finding an un-opened bag of gumi worms that you forgot you bought a few days ago -yum!
-this guy (swoon alert!!)
-1 month free-trial of netflix
-preparing for a 2 week trip with my sister
-the mortal instruments series (don't worry, i'll be talking about these soon!!)

what are your awkward and awesome moments?! share them here on sydney's blog.

sometimes rant. {2}

sometimes i have to sneeze. . .

. . .and then i do, but not fully and so i still don't feel better.

i hate that.

sometimes i think about how funny the human race is. . .

{via}

. . .with their "phone voices" and need for things like caffeine and spiffy electronics.

sometimes i wonder what it'd be like to be a different race. . .

{via}

. . .i think it'd be interesting to step into someone else's shoes for a day

sometimes i get uncomfortable when people don't like to be touched. . .

{via}

. . .but then i remember they probably get uncomfortable that i have an un-harnessable need to touch people.

sometimes i think that if only people knew my best friends. . .

{via, myself}

. . .they'd understand me better.

sometimes i think about being a published author. . .

{via}

. . .and i wonder if anyone would buy my book or come to my signings.

sometimes i ponder my children. what they will be named, what they will look like, what type of personalities they will have. . . 

{via, myself}

. . .and then i get excited about being a mother.

sometimes life gets prioritized over peeing. . .

{via}

. . .and then a few hours later i'll remember i have to go.

sometimes i think about everything and nothing. . .

{via}

. . .all at once.

sometimes rant.

sometimes, i think about going back to school... 

...but then i remember i hate school. and that i'm no good at it. and that its expensive.

and then i think "eh. its probably better that i'm not in school."

sometimes, i think about traveling the world...

...and then i smile. because i know, someday i will.

sometimes, i wonder what it'd be like to be someone else for a day...

...and then i think about all the movies i've seen where people trade places for a day and how grateful they are, when its all said and done, that they are just them and not someone else. then i wonder if its really like that. would i really be eager to just be me again, or would i enjoy being someone else?

sometimes, i think about jensen ross ackles...

...that's a lie. i always think about jra. ;)

sometimes, i wonder if i'll ever achieve my dreams...

...or if they will always just be a dream.

sometimes, i think "if i just had more money..."

...but then i know if i had more money, i'd be thinking "if in only had [this] or [that]" because the human race is never just grateful and content. they are always wanting. and i am a human.

sometimes, i feel like i'll never be happy again...

...but then when i am happy again, i know that being sad allows one to feel happy, so then, i'm grateful for sad.

even if it does suck.

sometimes, i get so tired that i just sit and think about going to bed...

...rather than actually going to bed.

sometimes, i smile for no reason.

those are the best times.
