Down Under
I am procrastinating right now. I should be writing my article which is due tomorrow but instead I thought I would update my blog. I would like to dedicate this blog to Australia. Land of good looking men and accents. You one of the ONLY countries that do not read my blog. I understand that most of you are decedents of criminals from Great Britain, but the rest of the world really loves you (and would really like for you to read this). I went to Europe after my senior year of high school and we met a group of Australians. They loved us! We got along really well. Except when you give them the peace sign don't turn it sideways (apparently that means something bad to them). I really have nothing to say so here are some pictures.

Here's To New Beginnings
So I realize my last post was a little harsh. Please just let me clarify that it was not about me being cheated on recently. Confusing, I know. Just as Jennifer Nettles wrote the song "Stay" from the other woman's perspective, I, too, was doing the same. Now that we are clear I can begin my new beginnings post!
I am about to embark on yet another adventure. I have resigned from my full-time job (the one where I make no money) and taken an internship this summer (where I can do what I love, WRITE). This seems like a wonderful opportunity but I know it isn't always "glitter and unicorns" on the other side. I still am in need of a full time job come September (so if any of you amazing readers would like to hire me, I would like to be hired). I am also leaving my current location and moving back home. This is definitely not peaches-n-cream. On the plus side I will be saving the little- to- no money I have, on the downside well, I am moving back in with the parentals.
Karma and I have been trying to be friends lately. I even gave 3 pennies today at McDonalds. I don't know if Karma works if I tell you what I just did. I'm not sure if the same rules that apply for wishes are applied to Karma. If so then I guess I will have to start over.
Story and picture time! (it's been a while since you've seen my masterpieces). So to new beginnings. My last day of work I took a MONSTER of a box that weighed 5908 pounds out to my car full of books. These were books that haven't been touched in years. I was not using a hyperbole when I said 5908 pounds, I weighed it. Well, I had the bright idea to trade these books for some more interesting books at a local trade store. So I parked my car next to another car and was trying to get the box out of my car and just couldn't. Then, I decided since another car was parked next to mine I would move my car to one with that didn't have another car parked beside it. Well, I couldn't shut the damn door. Now I'm trying to budge this 5908 pound box of books back into my car and can't. Did I mention that it was close to 100 degrees outside? It's close to 100 degrees outside. I also have on a dress. Finally, I slammed my car door shut, got back into my car, and drove across the parking lot. I f bfvgr`1q (That was Cooper typing since this is my first story that doesn't involve him...guess he felt left out) I finally get the box of books out of my car. This is when I realized that I couldn't even pick up the box. I had not one but TWO boys carry the box out and put the books in my car. So me in my LONG maxi dress in the 100 degree heat decide to drag the box of box across the parking lot. I had to stop on several occasions. This establishment is located in a strip mall off the highway with restaurants and a nail salon and a dog grooming business. I KNOW these people saw me. Once I finally got the box in there the woman told me to come back tomorrow. Really??? I left the box and she called me the next day to tell me they don't have room large enough for the box and to come back and get it. Fortunately, I do not have enough gas in my car to come back and get it, so for now it stays.

"You Need To Shut Your Lips And Learn"
Disclaimer: Do not read this if you are over the age of 45, offended easily, or are my parents or grandparent. You will not be happy after reading this. As for the rest of my AWESOME readers, get ready you're in for a treat.
How to Suck at Cheating on Your Girlfriend: AKA HOW TO SUCK AT LIFE
1. Having a Facebook
2. Having friends that have a Facebook
3. Knowing people that know people
4. Thinking you are a smooth talker but really you're not
5. MAKING UP STORIES about not having a girlfriend
6. Lying to a girl that has an AWESOME blog and doesn't mind talking shit about you on it.. oh snap that's me
7. Being a GUY... I'm sure Lesbians would do it better
8. Lying to a girl who does research for a living, lying to a girl who is A GIRL.. they ALWAYS find out.. are you worried yet? You should be.
9. Thinking you got away with it.. even after a year they find out, so go ahead and admit it. The worst that can happen is that they will dismember you or that you just got some sexually transmitted disease (in that case you should just go ahead and dismember yourself)
10. Right now you should be worried. Sweating. Can't stop thinking about it? Chest a little tight? Checking your shit out down there to make sure you're okay? HAUNTED yet?????
How to Cheat like a Pro:
1. Make up a new name: Decius Luke Forgettem After You Freaking Meet
2. Make up a new life: Your an Alaskan King Crab Fisherman (Trust me they won't want to go to Alaska to visit you) DO NOT SAY SOMETHING EXOTIC, THEY WILL COME VISIT YOU
3. Drive a bicycle: NOT a MOTORCYCLE... A bike. That way you can't take anyone else with you. One seater. Don't forget your bike helmet. Shows you're committed to cheat- fest.
4. Create a fake Facebook account using your new name and life so that way you look legit. Just grab some pictures of Alaska off of Google. Don't forget to throw in some pictures of you at work on a fishing boat.
5. MAKE YOURSELF UN-REMEMBERABLE! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. That way you can cheat a lot.
Dear boys, You are welcome for the tips.Good Luck in life. I hope you alllllllll find happiness.
How to be Awesome: Don't cheat, don't think about cheating, don't talk about cheating, don't think about talking about thinking about cheating. Just don't cheat.
On a brighter note: I got asked to be a resident blogger and have an internship this summer to be an Editorial Team member for a magazine. Two-finger clap. Yes!

Thank You Ugly Betty...
This year has been life changing. I've had to actually grow up on my own. I have now lived almost completely alone for an entire year with the exception of my now ONE year old puppy, Cooper (he just had a birthday!). As a girl in her early twenties I would say this is an accomplishment. Never did I picture my life like this. I thought that I would be married by now living in the same town that I grew up in. Thankfully, I am not married yet and moved away from my family. This really did give me a chance to learn more about me. Learn who I am as a woman in her early twenties. I learned that my best friends will always be my best friends no matter where I live, I've learned to deal with a situation for an entire year even if I am not happy, I've learned to smile even when I have nothing to smile about. More importantly I've learned that family is not only there when you need them, but also when you don't (and that's not always a bad thing).
Some less important but useful things I have learned to do are: how to carry at least fifteen grocery bags on my arms so that I don't have to make two trips up and down the stairs. I hate making more than one trip. I have had so many bags piled up on my arms that I've had to walk with them between my legs. My car keys have imprinted on my skin. I consider this a work-out. The hardest part is closing the trunk door with the bags on your arms. I can steam-clean my own carpets now ( I owe this one all to Cooper). I can take apart an entire vacuum cleaner and put it back together working now. I learned how to cook chicken, rice, and asparagus (I swear this turned out great, not like my "nachos"- See older blogs). I've almost learned how to manage money (hopefully this will get better with age). I've learned to do without. I have to prioritize. Cable- not an essential, so thanks to my lack of funds I have 13 channels. TV Guide channel is better than I used to give it credit. Thank you Ugly Betty.
I know it has been almost a month since I've blogged. In the last month I've been trying to figure out my next move. Where I see myself and what I would be happy doing. I'll let you know when I figure something out.

FYI: I am not an overweight-weird girl who eats my feelings... but I am weird.
For starters "strange is just a different point of view." For those of you reading my blog who think I am especially weird and overweight because all I seem to talk about is my dog, sleeping, hating my job, and breaking up with my "whatever," you would be wrong. I did mention that I worked out five days last week and I am proud of myself for that. Do you know how hard it is to motivate me to workout by myself when I could do something fun like sleep? Did I mention I love naps? Once I get into the habit of working out I'm fine and will do it. I love Zumba and cycling and I used to swim year-round and dance in my youth. I just felt like I should clear the air.
Topic number two: I got a valentine this year (check me out) so do not think I am saying this because I am "one of those girls who can't get a guy," so they want their own day, but I do want my own day. My older sister told me about a Sex in the City episode where Carrie dedicates a day to herself and makes all her friends buy her shoes. There really should be a Singles Day. Where everyone that is in a relationship should buy all their friends that aren't a present. A good present too. Not a piece of crap card that makes the person feel like they are the center of a pity party. Noooo, the couples need to remember and be jealous of the single people. They should have to think of times when they were single and how much fun it was. Just like on Valentines day how a single person has to be reminded they are alone, Couples needed to be reminded they aren't alone. Ever.
I love relationships. I really do. I am a girlfriend type of girl, but while I'm single I should get presents too. This way everyone wins. You get gifts when you are and aren't in a relationship.

"Keep on Waiting for the Sun to Come Around"
I'm ready for a change. I'm ready to get into a relationship that is mutual. I feel like I'm always waiting for my life to start. I know that in a way it has but then again sometimes I look at my life and think, THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. This is not how my life is supposed to be. I am thankful that I have a wonderful family, amazing friends, and a job. I am not complaining about these things, but at the same time I feel like I am just waiting for something better to come along. Starting last week I decided to pick out one really great thing that happened each day (some days I have to stretch it).
Here's a list of some good things that happened last week:
*Saved $20.00 at Ulta
*Cooper got new toys because he chewed up my cowgirl boots (This is a plus for Coop, negative for me) If anyone would like to buy me a new pair let me know. ;)
*I got to take a nap on Saturday AND Sunday! (Like I said, right now I'm stretching it)
*I worked out five days last week
I'm going to wake up early everyday this week and go walk on the beach with Coop and watch the sunrise. New goal for this week. I'll let you know how this goes. I'll try to blog about it and post pictures each day.
List of Random Things I Love:
1. Catcher in the Rye, The Wedding, Huckleberry Finn
2. Eating pretzels, chocolate, and water... NOT to be confused with chocolate covered pretzels
3. Blue Cheese dressing in the summertime
4. Tomatoes
5.Falling asleep on the beach
6. Quoting movies
7. Taking Naps
8. Puppy breath
9. Singing in my car alone
10. Crying in books and movies
11. Getting flowers
12. Going to see bands play
13. Clemson
14. Being on the lake
Here is where I got the title for today's post- It's by Sister Hazel (MY FAVORITE BAND, if you couldn't tell)
