Growing Old is Getting Old- Silversun Pickups

So... lets talk about some of my new favorite things in life lately:

1. The Vampire Diaries- Why? Because hello... WHO would NOT want to watch two of the hottest guys on tv once a week?! Yes, Ian Somerhalder (aka: Damon) and Paul Wesley (aka: Stefan) I'm talking about you. Two beautiful creatures that have managed to make me ask... Edward, who? Oh yeah, and lets not forget the music quality of the show. It's almost hitting One Tree Hill's music standard on my radar and thats near impossible, so a pat on the back for you!

2- The Office- Why? Because if I had someone like Jim in my office... I would've dumped the warehouse guy a long time ago! Also, it gives me ideas. Stay tuned to see pictures of a man's computer desktop background turned pink and a stapler in green jello.

Josh, this is what you get for leaving me to deal with Steve by myself... for an ENTIRE week!

3- "Down" By Jay Sean- Have you heard it? Better yet... Have you seen him?

Yeah... he's brittish... and sexy. Well, here's the music video, see for yourself!

- Vanilla Soy Milk-

I know what you're all thinking.... EW! But recently I have discovered that whenever I eat a bowl of cereal with regular milk or drink chocolate milk... I end up having severe pains in my stomach. Not good. So I've decided to give Vanilla Soy Milk a try and you know what? It's actually pretty good! I even bought Soy ice cream!

It's not the BEST but it's ok... I've had random thoughts about trying out a vegetarian lifestyle (because.. lets face it, I'm not a big meat eater anyway) so I thought I should get use to the taste.

5. I'm in the market for a new car! This should be an exciting time of life, right? Wrong! It is completely stressing me out!

I'm young! I don't want to have to owe TONS of money on a loan... So I've been weighing my pros and cons...

Cons:

* A lot of money I should be using to go back to school

* I'll have to get on a budget

* I'm still paying off my stupid Mac computer that was probably a waste of money for me to get because I ended up cracking the screen anyway. Even though it still works... Anyone know how to fix a Mac?

Pros:

*I'm young, not married and no other bills than paying off my Mac computer. So I should purchase it while I still only have to think about me.

* My car is going to break down any day I fear... and that will NOT be a happy day!

* I have good credit

*Because I don't want to get married for a couple years, I'll still have time to save a little here and a little there for school

* I have an amazing job that is teaching me a lot. And it's even more awesome when I think about how I may want to go into the field I'm being taught about right now.

Hmmm... Then there is always the option to lease a car. That way, I get a newer model for about 4 years and at the end I can either purchase, or lease a new one. But then I would have to be careful about going over 12,000 miles a year.... UGH!

Whatever happened to being a kid and just wanting to choose the kind of bike you wanted? I can tell you now... mine would be High School Musical. See how easy that was?

Well until I decide on what to do, I guess I can only day dream about cars that I will NEVER EVER be able to afford, but that I would die to own!

Ahhh... wouldn't it be nice to have money?

6- My girl Cambree!!! I truly do not know where I would be in life without her around!

Friday night, Cambree came to stay with me at my apartment. It was honestly one of the most fun nights I've had in a long time! Dinner @ McDonalds, Almost swimming... Watching Enchanted, Coloring in a Barbie coloring book I bought here (where the mask from above comes from) and shopping for snacks!

Then my mama and pops picked us up and we went to the hospital to see her mama and chill.

The boys all went golfing and it was fun to have a relaxing girls day where we just got to talk and laugh and play with Cambree.

That night, after my parents dropped me off, my dad got out to give me a hug and he said "I really miss having you around the house... I love you"

Of course this brought tears to my eyes!

So they drove away and I went into my apartment where my roommates were gone and walked into my bedroom where Cambree had been earlier that morning, all alone.... and I got the biggest feeling of homesick-ness that I've had in a LONG time.

So I'm going to take a break from city life to spend the weekend at home, with my family! Of course... My daddy is probably going to take me car shopping up here on Saturday but still, it's the family part that counts! :)

It's About Time- Barcelona

"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. "
-E. B. White

Planning the day... wow. If only I could actually do this once in a while! Life has been so unpredictable lately, it's crazy! If I had known a year ago, where I would be today... I wouldn't have believed it! The changes and the growth I'm going through are amazing! I'm learning to see how truly great life is! Of course there are down days, as there is with everyone, but after a little blasting music session, I have been learning to let it go and enjoy the moment.

Seeing as how a moment is all I really have to finish this up, I'll try to catch up on everything.

*LOVING the new season of One Tree Hill! Robert Buckley was an amazing addition to the cast and I don't even miss Lucas and Peyton! (Ok, so I don't miss them THAT much!)

*It's Fall and it's the most amazing time of the year! I love the leaves, the air, the atmosphere, the wardrobe change, apple spice from Starbucks, hoodies, extra blankets at night, scary movies, halloween stores and everything in between!

*Super excited for Carrie Underwoods new cd to come out next month!

*Loving my new ward, my new apartment and most of the time, my roommates! It's so fun to live with your best friends! No matter how much they drive me crazy!

*Really into football season this year. Kourtney is slowly turning me into a USC fan and a Farve fan. Of course my Steelers will always come first!

*Going through a phase where all I want to do is cook! Of course after a long day at work, getting the ambition up to cook for one person gets hard but I'm learning all kinds of things!

*Learning how to realize that when a guy is just a player and the game ends, it has nothing to do with me. He just has serious issues.

*Thinking that serious dating is just NOT for me right now. Especially at this age! I'm so young! I've had so many fun experiences lately that I could not have if I was married or dating someone serious! I don't understand how people who get married so young would want to miss out on so many fun things!

*My job is fantastic! I absolutely LOVE the people I work with and we have become super close! I love their families too!

*Seriously wanting to take a road trip somewhere... anywhere! As long as there is good company and good music, I'm set!

Well thats it for now! I'll update with recent pics soon!

P.S. I don't know if you've noticed but all of my post titles are also song titles. I think I'm going to start adding the artist because these are some AMAZING songs that you should check out!
