out here it's like i'm someone else...

so...

life has been a little weird lately.  days seem to have no separation, almost zombie like.  i have been keeping busying working at tech.  starting to freak out about where i will be in a year from now, yes you read that correctly a YEAR.  a year is 12 months, that's practically 52 weeks, which is close to 8,736 hours, give or take 31,149,600 seconds.  just sitting and waiting for the unknown sometimes makes you...freak out.

well...yesterday was my LAST day at tech! (well until the semester starts back up again.)  so what am i going to do with myself with almost two weeks of summer vacay...well i'm glad you asked.
i may go and do a little bit of this...










            or maybe a little bit of that...

anyway...
i plan on spending some good times at the lake or in a canoe for the next two weeks with my sistor.

so while i am at my home, well my parent's home...i'll be trying to figure out this thing called 'relaxation' and 'afternoon naps'.  i just feel the need to always have a plan and be on the go.  even when i don't have anything to do and should be 'relaxing' i am already thinking about what i will be doing as soon as i get back to russvegas...so keep your fingers crossed.

oh on the recap...
i will be being called "Ms. Jolie" by 31 freshman in the class i will be teaching in about two weeks.  i had my workshop yesterday for it and i am a little nervous.  i am mainly just ready to get it rolling and get past the first two classes, i think/hope i will be fine after that.  but i am really excited that i will get to be teaching. (shouldn't i get a red hangtag for that???)  you WOULD think that...but no, i'll be stuck in good ole yellow parking over by the spoony. :( but they have updated the look of our hangtags this year...so at least it'll be pretty, cause that's all that really matters, right?
also, wedding season has come to a close...i think.  wedding season is that time span from spring to summer where everyone you know is starting to get married and you have a wedding to go to every weekend it seems like.  don't get me wrong i enjoy going to them...but 3 in a row, that's a lot of white...a lot of flower petals...a lot of shoes.  okay now i officially sound like the wedding grinch.  it's not that i am a grinch but working m-f and looking forward to your bum saturday...it might turn you into somewhat of a grinch.  but i do enjoy weddings and i do enjoy the joyful tears they bring, especially when they are from the groom. (almost made ME cry!)  but next season people, can we coordinate to at least every other saturday? thanks. my people thank your people.

well i'll keep you posted on my vacay.  now that i have some time to enjoy the blogger world again.  i'll leave you with a pic from my lake bff, teague.  i gave him a reese's and we have been besties since. :)

 OH! one last thing...a very important shout out to my reader from Garden Plain, Kansas.  you know who you are!!! thanks so much for reading, hope you enjoyed!!! :)

and the time you have.

life after haircuts...

...is too short.

(eliza i will get you a list of twenty asap, don't fret.)

i can officially begin to cross of something from a previous post :)  numero uno...caching...

my fellow cacher and i have a certain alias that we like to use while caching...i can not state it in writing due to the disclosures.  we went 4-3 so we ended up with a W for the day...but we will try those three again really soon, i think the competitiveness in me will not accept that we could not find them.  here are a few pics from our trip around town.

well i was going to attempt to post a video that recapped the day...but sadly it did not work. :( sorry bloggies.

anyways...

as you probably already noted the clever title to this blog entry and thought to yourself where is this thing going??? yes, today i indeed got some hairscut.  it was a long time coming for me and my fellow dragon-mate.  this is what it looks like now...hasn't been this short for awhile...but i like it. :)

that's all i got for nows...

oh and ending yesterday with a little bit of sunshine...

-------------------------

the future depends on

what we do in the present.

back in june...

it's official. it's july! how weird is that?
it's kind of sad really...

...i think he agrees.

anyways, it is still weird to think that summer is halfway over! o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh my gosh!

this post is just for fun...so i will share with you a few of my summer favs:

dreaming.

kissing.

juning.

let it be.

gleeked out.

so i have nothing else to say to you.

i hope everyone has a fun and safe fourth of july! :)

-------------------

failure is not fatal.

but failure to change might be.

summer breeze.

i can't believe we have had a complete week of summer already.  it is crazy that this weekend will be the 4th of july!  time flies by so fast...just like a roll of toilet paper.  i am enjoying my summer break from classes...even though i do feel exhausted the majority of the time these days.  but that is about to change.  wednesday will be my last day of a full 8-5 in the dean's office.  so i will have more time to myself the rest of the summer break...i am not sure what i will do with myself then.  hopefully get to be crafty and enjoy some good quality time with friends.

speaking of good qt time...i got to finally get some of that this past weekend.  i went to visit some friends in nwa and i did not want to leave.  everytime i go up there it makes me want to move there so badly.  sometimes i wish i knew where i will end up after i finish school...again...and what job i will hold.  i went by to visit with my professors in my program, because there are only three in my master's program so i caught up with them and one was giving me advice and saying that all the things i have done, currently do, and will do will make me extremely marketable.  that gave me a little more confidence, however i am the type of person that thinks way to critically and has to have things planned out.  i told one of my roomies that we're going to have to come up with a top 100 list of things my future husband needs to know...from my control habits and ocd tendencies to how i can be extremely weird and random at times.   back to the future...i just need to focus on the now and keep focused on one day at a time and take it to prayer. 

anyways...

QT time...i spent mainly with one miss chelsea cady-chandler ;) and one mister zach chandler this past weekend.  i love both of them so very much and they will always hold a piece of my heart.  even though our lives and day jobs are getting the best of us sometimes, i always enjoy seeing them and spending time with them even if it's only for an hour.  they are the type of friends that you want to live next too one day.  so chelsea's familia adopted me for the weekend, which i love her family they are so precious and close...so glad i get to spend time with them.  so chelsea and i got to catch up and get down and crafty.  her and zach also took some engagement pics, which hopefully some of them turned out...they looked like a gap ad and i loved it! :)

however...

speaking of getting down and crafty...this is a result of the project we were working on:

a little apron that we made. :)

chelsea is so crafty and i love it...she is working on an etsy shop (the knotted needle) and i am so glad that she is doing this because it is something that she is meant to do.  so you should definitely check out her blog and her shop, although i am not sure if it is up yet but you can find it on her blogie.

as for me...i should get back to work, so that i can pick up and leave at 5:00 that way i can see samantha soonly. i am so glad that she is back and that i will have a pt partner again. :)

---------------------------------------

i dreamed a dream

in time gone by.

you say goodbye, i say hello.

it has been awhile...

so what have i been up to since the twenty eighth of may???

let's see...well i went to watch my ucla bruins win the women's college world series with me mum in okc.  that was fun and it made for a nice little vacation. :)

other than that, i have been working the majority of the time. starting back into my workout routine. redecorating and attempting to be crafty because i have not had time to this past year...speaking of crafty.  i did finish painting something for our living room wall and we just hung it up the other night.

the end result...

i hope you like.

well...sadly i have nothing else really exciting to say...oh wait maybe two things.

FIRST thing...i was asked to give out my digits for the second time at my ush gas station. made for a funny afternoon.

SECOND thing...i will be spending the weekend with one of my favorite people in the world...we'll get to be crafty, relax, hang out, drink coffee, listen to some music, take some pictures, and get some good ole fashion pt out of the deal! i cannot wait! 

until next time...

your true colors are beautiful,
