There have been a few futile attempts to whip up a post in the past few months, but for one reason or another, there was never a click on that "publish" button. So this blog is going to be my shot at doing a wrap up of the past few months, and hopefully a start back to regular blogging because I have some topics up my sleeve (more excuses to talk about myself and basic things of the such).
Here are things I did while I wasn't blogging:
1. Tweeting really important things.
 |
| i'm being serious |
 |
| i spent hours meal prepping just so i could attend like 831 work happy hours the same week it's fine |
 |
| it was 2 p.m. |
 |
| it moved me |
 |
| see i told u |
 |
 |
| I WENT ACTUAL VIRAL ONCE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL |
 |
| this is important |
 |
| #AWintersTale #ABadMovie |
 |
| you know |
 |
| i thought my TV was broken for a whole weekend until I called someone and they told me how to work the remote. TV is rly hard |
 |
| you know??????????????????????????????????????????????? |
2. Making effing incredible Spotify playlists
So like, idk what it is, but God blessed me with the gift of music curation, that's all i'm saying, i'm not bragging, i'm just saying.
I'm into this really hipster thing you've never heard of cuz ur basic called "electronic R&B". Here it is. I'm listening to it now in fact.
It was one of my goals to get into worship music over the summer because I've honestly never liked it that much lol. This isn't something I would typically do, but I have really amazing friends who push me to do things like this and so here I am. Here are some christian songs I can actually deal with, and a few I'm basically chronically obsessed with, so here you go. (some aren't technically "christian" but when I hear them, it just makes sense to go in this playlist because i'm a music scientist and i know these things ok go with it)
3. Casually just getting in car wrecks etc.
Ya. I was in Addison driving my car (balla, shot calla, 20 inch rims, on the 2009 BLUE CHEVY IMPALAAAAA) with two friends. I wasn't texting, or drinking, or anything illegal (except being criminally good looking), and I was crossing the toll road, trying to get to Gloria's, facing the sun, and ran into another girl kind of head on. It was rly kewt (everyone was fine calm down) A cop came and did whatever cops do in those situations and we couldn't decide whose fault it was so it was fun. Don't worry, the Impala was still intact enough to make it to Gloria's afterwards because #thereisaGod.Oh. also. Whilst my car being in the shop, I had to rent a car. A car not of my choosing. Usually I'm excited when I get to rent a car from the Chevy dealership, because you know, driving a car that's not yours is fun etc, well. I WAS HOPING TO RENT A CHEVY MALIBU BECAUSE I'M A MOTHER IN MY 40S, BUT INSTEAD THEY GAVE ME A CAMARO.
A CAMARO.
A. C A M A R O.
It's fine if you drive a Camaro, I get that, it's a hip car, sure, but sometimes I just don't want to lay on my back while driving a car, and sometimes I want to see out of the windshield, idk, i'm old fashioned i guess idk.
4. Moving apartments by myself up three flights of stairs with no elevator etc
And when I say by myself, I mean with 2 men I paid, but yeah, you get it. And before you give my blog a judgmental look, I'll have you know, I OWN A COUCH AND WASHER AND DRYER AND THAT SH*T DOES NOT MOVE ITSELF. okimdone5. Connecting the dryer cord to the wall
This was an actual ordeal, but I survived to blog about it, and I'm seeking support groups with people who've been through this experience as well. |
| 23 is hard |
6. Posting photos of my ankles on Craigslist and looking for new ones
Ya so this is a great story. Shortly after moving to an elevatorless apartment, I sprained my ankle. walking. on flat surface. in flat shoes. WALKING IS HARD. It's an ordeal of a story that I would feel comfortable telling you over drinks that you buy me.So, yes, I got in a car wreck, moved apartments, and sprained my ankle all within a 30 day span because 23 is hard.
The following video is how i walk in flats. Also, I've seen this like 18 times because it's that funny.

7. Being interviewed by the Dallas press
Well, I have a friend who also blogs, and sometimes, I'm in them, because I'm famous, and her blog is famous. Kind of. I mean, Taylor swift liked her photo on instagram, Chris Harrison tweeted her, and Brad Paisley follows her on Twitter, but it's seriously whatever, it's actually not a big deal.This blogger, let's call her Paige, because that's her actual name, blogged about the night I sprained my ankle.
And about the night we Oktoberfested.
And about how to land a man (this actually has nothing to do with me, but I'm an eye witness and contributor to all these things so read it).
Her blog is called "Just PMSing" because PMS are her initials, and I'm explaining this because I know my mom is reading this and about to text me asking questions.
8. Freelance writing. A lot.
Sometimes i blog about the bachelor for free, and sometimes people pay me to blog about things.I wrote about...
- How to explain social media to ur mom
- 3 easy dinner recipes because i know everything about easy dinner recipes
- Passionate people
- Alternative flooring
- Homecoming mums because I definitely DID NOT have to google the word "mums" before writing this
- Desert recipes that are kiiiiiind of healthy
- Memorial day so actually i wrote this in May but whtvr
- Karaoke and i love this blog
- Men's fashion because i'm a man and i'm stylish
LOOK OUT FOR MORE IN OCTOBER K GREAT THNX
9. Seeing famous ppl
 |
| This is Aretha Franklin TEARING UP DAT PIANO. She isn't touring, she was singing just for a benefit. It was kind of surreal when she sang "Respect," because, I mean, come on. America. I feel thankful I had the opportunity to see her. |
 |
| I saw the queen. |
 |
| Ryan Tedder of One Republic. He sang "Apologize," and I was happy. |
I got to go to most of these concerts for free, because friends of a friend, ticket drop outs, etc , I'm not a millionaire, don't get it twisted.
 |
| I WAS LITERALLY THE NEXT TABLE OVER. he is just as good looking in person, and so sweet. This was at Nobu, where I was for a friend's birthday. She got a pic with him. We all talked about Tech. He asked me to marry him. Lalala. |
10. Shopping 4 vinyl
I bought a record player one fine Saturday afternoon and it's kind of life changing. I bought my first record that same day. Robert Johnson. I just felt like it was a good "I'm a white girl buying my first record" album. (also, pls go buy all your records at Bill's Records on Lamar street in Dallas because he is the best).
As fate would have it, my brother-in-law owns a ton of records that he doesn't use anymore. And gave them to me <3<3<3<3 with frames <3<3<3<3 and they're pretty<3<3<3<3.
11. Obsessing over history
There is no other way to say that, and I get that I'm the absolute biggest loser within a 3 mile radius off uptown right now. I read all of Genesis in August, and watched The Bible TV series in 2 days, and it just kind of kicked off this really weird itch to know about everything B.C. I've never read Genesis start to finish before and it was an experience.You can ask my roommate, who has to deal with me recording things about "Solomon's secret treasure" and "The History of the world in 2 hours" and all things Egypt and Old Testament.
It's like grossly carrying over into my social media habits. After reading stories from the Old Testament, I would go Pinterest for images of art depicting it.
 |
| Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This story and how Lot's wife turned to salt blows my mind a thousand times and I have zero idea who painted this so don't ask. |
 |
| BB CONTEST, JUDITH IN FIRST PLACE, AMMIRITE |
11 is a good number so i'm going to stop k good talk everyone
