The Move = Over.. Almost.

Got Internet back today!
YES!
Back to the blogging World!

We are all packed & unpacked.
Haha Just joking!
My mom is,
I haven't quite gotten to the 'unpacking' part.
My room is full of boxes.
The only thing that isn't is my TV, bedding, clothes, & bathroom stuff.
I know you're probably like 'Well what else do you have?'. Yeah.. I don't exactly know... That's why I haven't bothered to worry about tons of boxes surrounded me.

Harley is adjusting nicely!
Besides the fact that he tried to jump off our second story balcony..
No I take that back he DID jump off our second story balcony.
Thanks to an amazing friend who grabbed his leash at the last second & thanks to God that his neck didn't brake & he wasn't strangled to death in the few seconds it took to pull him to safety!?
I now view him as suicidal, my moms friend says his nickname is 'Suicide' & we had to put this tacky wire fence on our balcony to insure his safety. *sigh*

Last night a cold front came in & today's weather was 'lovely' according to everyone else.
I'm not quite in the mood for amazing, chill, non-humid, anti-pool/ beach weather yet.
I don't know why, seeing how I hate Texas Summers but I'm just not looking forward to it going this year. But by mid-day I took my book & sat outside in the pretty weather with the cool breeze for a bit. It was nice, I wont deny. It made me dream of a future in a small, old fashion, southern town. Sitting on my front porch swing, emerged in a good book. Which someday I WILL happen.

This the only thing close to decoration I've put up so far.
My gorgeous pirate flag.
I don't think this is its permit place but for now, my bathroom is the 'pirate room'.

I cant think of anything original so I'll call this an 'Update'

Fruit Cleanse:
My three day fruit cleanse lasted two and 1/3 of a day.
my mom brought me home cheese sticks..
I couldn't refuse!
I am disappointed in myself & plan on trying again when my life gets more stable
Latest book:
I FINALLY (after about three months) finished 'The Wedding'.
It is Nicholas Sparks follow up book for 'The Notebook'
even though I don't even like saying that cause, ugh!
was so slow, and repetitive and I'm positive there are at least 200 pages of nothing in there!
But I will admit I like the twist at the end.
The book was.. cute.
Now!
For a new book.
I tried to finish Nights in Rodanthe but it brings back too many memories of my recent struggles.
I think I'm going to read 'The Guardian' next.
My week consisted of:
Catching up with old friends.
Cleaning my room.. finally.
Laying in bed.
Laying in bed A LOT!
Watching old movies.
Writing (barely. For the first time in my life I have writers block).
Reading!
Its been fun but I'm so stir-crazy!
Excited to go back to work tomorrow!

ppssstttt!!!

{via}
Over here!
So..
I know I disappeared!
I was just had my grandparents house & decided to kick back and read a couple of books.
I finished "A Walk to Remember" (in one day), and "Wokini" (literally changed my life).
It was peaceful and realizing but now I am back home.
I got home yesterday (my grandmother drove me home. Long car drive from her house in Oklahoma).
After being on the road since 6am
I got home & me and my grandmother had to start pack stuff up immediately!
Ya see, I'm moving.
We moved last year at this time,
and I think the year before too.
I'm SICK of moving!
And I love how we always end up moving in the Summer!
Yuck!
So anyways,
my grandmother is staying in town till Friday to help us move.
We have to be moved out by the first of the month.
So I didn't have a second of down time.
After putting things in boxes my mother got home and we had to load everything in the car and take it over to our new house (did I mention our apartment is upstairs, and we have to move all our stuff upstairs in the new house... no fun at all)
We got back to our apartment were I had rush and take a shower, do my make up and hair and of course get dressed to go meet my new boss,
Who was lovely!
I'm really excited about my new job.
Oh did I forget to mention that?
Yes.
I not only came home to moving, but also a job!
I found it while I was out of town.
I'm going to be a nanny for a really nice family and I cant wait.
Oh and I also came home to studying full time.
Yes.
I have to take my GED by the first of July.
I want to start college a year early and I just want to get High School over with.
Especially since I'm Home Schooled.
A lot of the times doing my work just feels like a waste of time.
So I am moving, starting a job, and studying full time.
AND my grandmother is in town..
Busy, Busy, Busy

Book Shelf from Heaven!


I found this picture when I was browsing Karen's blog,
and I was like,
"Woah! If I buy anymore books, I'm going to need a little hide away drawer like this!"
Amazing, huh?
