can we just go ahead and say that this hair style should be a trend for forever? personally, i just don't know what to do with myself when i see it. my furture significant other has full permission to rock it anytime, anywhere. oh, and that popped collar and buddy holly glasses put me into full-on fangirl mode.

this is a new-found realization.

and i can do without the pants rolled up at the bottom.

oh. My. GOSH!

What the hell happened to the saying, "If you don't like the weather in West Texas, wait five minutes and it will change."
I've been wait waaaaay longer than 5 freaking minutes, and it hasn't changed.
Please, look at the five  day  forcast  of  my  future  home.
(I have no clue why I'm even looking -- temperatures like that just make me ache with longing.)
Not only are the highs in the 70s, they have rain.
RAIN!



you can just go ahead and be jealous, then I'll return the envy once I'm freezing to death in the winter months and yall are still wearing shorts... mutual envy, if you will.

today.

I'm celebrating, because...

1. I bought new shoes last night. That's always cause for a party. Thanks, YWAM for giving me an excuse to buy shoes. I really appreciate it.

2. Only 4 days until I turn 23. That's right peope, you've only got a short time left to buy me a present, I have faith that you can do it though.

3. My new camera will be arriving on my doorstep today if UPS lives up to their word.



I had an out of body experience...

I was talking to a lovely lady, with an English accent.

By the end of the conversation I realized I was getting a stronger accent the more I spoke.

Then I thought, "Shite, I can't believe I'm talking this..."

Yes, I said shite in my head, to myself.

The end result was me saying thank you, good bye in a ridiculously Texan voice.

I just can't win.

Married people hate.

When husbands and wives write on each others Facebook walls and it comes up on my newsfeed...

For goodness sake, YOU LIVE TOGETHER!

*this does not apply to those who have loved ones in the military, although, even then, you can text/skype/call/email/anything but facebook.

that moment...

When a man calls and asks what the phone number is.

Here's how the convo went:

Automatic Fire Protection

Yes, is Marty in?

No, he won't be in until tomorrow. He's been on vacation.

Well, tell me, you have another number, 651-2601, it has been disconnected?

Nooo... that's not our phone number. Our's is 651-9000

Oh, that's not your number?

no...

So what is the best number to reach your office with?

six. five. one. nine thousand.

Ooh, ok. That's your phone number.

Yes sir.

(what part of this do you not understand?!)

Ok, thank you.



I had no idea...

I ordered a Venti Vanilla Latte at starbucks this morning, but when I got to the window she handed me a Grande. When I asked about it, she said she thought I said Grande, so I'd take it (it's cheaper anyway.) Then she went on to say that a Venti doesn't have anymore espresso in it, the extra is just milk and syrup.

Wow.

Thanks, maam. Saving me some serious cash!!!

Also, this observation: the only day of the week I get to work on time is friday. I think it's because I'm always excited that I'm going to Starbucks, and just that it's Friday in general.

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday....

Storytelling by Taegan

Grandma (aka Nana) you're Cinderella.
Tia is the evil witch.


I hate to point out the obvious Taegan, but there is NO WITCH in Cinderella.
So either, she just wanted to call me an evil witch or she mixed up her fairy tales...

Either way, I'm the evil witch.

That moment...

when your brother walks into your office and lets a silent fart that instantly singes your nose hairs and then walks out.

Oh, wait, this never happens to you? It's an everyday occurence in my life, unfortunately...

X-Men: First Class

Me and Tay went to see X-Men First Class last night for her birthday...

Can I just say, although I was lusting over the hot man meat in the movie for most of the time, I loved it! Ok, just kidding, but not really. It was a great movie! The effects, the guys were hot, the story line was wonderful and it was also really cool to get to see where it all started and how it all began. My only complaint for the entire movie is Kevin Bacon. He's acting wasn't bad, it's just me... I can't take him seriously. Wolverine also made a cameo; hello, Mr. Hugh Jackman. Seriously, excellent movie, EXCELLENT!!

 and this, just because I'm immature (as you already know):

yeaaa, about that.

It occurred to me this morning...

because of the way our office is arranged, walking in late to work is not unlike a walk of shame. (Not that I would know what a walk of shame is like)

I walk in ten minutes late and have to walk by the receptionist, my dad's office, the other owner's office and then get to my desk.... all the while I'm keeping my head down praying nobody sees me.

boys.

Me: That liquid courage did us DIRRRTY
Tam: I have a dream. That one day we will have men in our lives that want us oh so bad and the liquid courage will only intensify things. One day.


you win some, you lose some....ammi right?!

To recap what I would call a rather successful weekend:

Friday:
Pool and Beer definitely happened with my momma.
It was wonderful.

Saturday:
There was a wedding at the rents house.
Considering it was 111 degrees at  5:00 pm, the whole thing went off without a hitch.
Although, I would prefer to avoid the disgustingly hot weather. I was sweating my face off (literally).

Sunday:
I drove to Austin to pick up the HSLP.
There was Free Birds, Jamba, Hula Hut, Buffalo Exchange, and 6th Street.
There was also, only 3.5 hours of sleep, drunk dials, and conversations about Gingers.

Monday:
Me and Tamura ate some wonderful kirby lane, drove home, went to visit my rents, and then I delivered her to her momma. Incidentally, there was a party at my house... involving 6 immature adults, a leftover keg of blue moon from the wedding, Wii Bowling, and very inapropro conversation.

and to sum it all up....
I walked into the office looking something like this:

dear work,

Sincerely,
Christina

a conversation:

(calling my mom)
Mom: Hello
Me: Hey, I'm thinking You, Me, Pool, and Beer when I get off.
Mom: Glad we're on the same page.
Me: YES! I just have to grab my swimsuit and I'll be there.

Mom: GOOD!! I have Dos Equis, Landshark, Coors Light, and Miller Light.
Me: Glad we're on the same page.

Mom: Love you.
Me: Love you, too.
BYE!!

I LOVE MY MOM!

Mixing chocolate and peppermints in a candy bowl. It literally makes me want to cry when I bite into a piece of  chocolate and it tastes like peppermints.

I would eat Thin Mints if I wanted my chocolate to have minty taste.

I ended up having to get five, count them, FIVE shots.

I am now protected from the following:

• the flu
• meningitis
• hepatitis a
• tetanus
• polio

and typhoid, but luckily I can take pills for that.

Unforunately, now I can hardly move either arm or sleep on my side. Last night was a looong night.

I just saw a spider crawling on my desk

Now I feel like there's a million crawling all over me. eeek.

This paranoia will last all day... I just know it.

that moment when you call someone by the wrong name.

TO THEIR FACE!!!

whoops. awkward...

file under: the awkward moment that is my life.

now that blogger is finally back up...

it's about time. But I'm still missing a few posts I believe. They'll be back soon I suppose.

Anywho..I have this little Gem for Smile Friday:

(Jessie St. James... BAH.)

Thank goodness for Rebecca Black for supplying us with slightly absurd and ridiculously addicting lyrics that we can all sing in a semi-naseley voice while annoying everyone within a mile radius.

You Rock Ms. Black, you rock.
