Jason, we need more coffee

This weekend I visit my grandparents for my grandmother's 80th birthday. Her four children + one granddaughter (Moi) surprised her at this B&B near their house. Usually family gatherings make me nervous and grouchy because everyone uses yelling and broad hand gestures as a form of communication. However, this event was particularly enjoyable. My aunt and uncle invited me to move to North Carolina to pursue job leads down there. I like this idea. 

Furthermore, my granddad was able to see his children without the loud noises of a restaurant. My granddad used to be a brilliant engineer, essentially you can thank him for inventing the seatbelts in your car. Dementia has whittled away at his brain the last six years and now he can't remember anything from the past or present. Sometimes he looks like his old self and says non-crazy things. I was looking at old photos of him and very much wanted the man in the pictures back.

A Case of the Grumpy Mondays

Yesterday I had a bad case of the grumpy Mondays. Today I found out that my very old car will need almost one thousand dollars in repairs. I blame my father because he insisted I take it to the repair shop down the road. Had I ignored his request, I would never know my car needed fixing [until I was stranded on the side of the road accepting help from my would-be-future killer].

List of Things I Intend to Do Before the Day is Over.

[ ] Fold laundry in dryer/ Do laundry for tomorrow

[ ] Create subbing account

[ ] Go to store to buy important things

[ ] Pick up house

[ ] Ignore box of frozen Girl Scout cookies in freezer

[ ] P90X Workout DVD

[ ] Catch up on previous episodes of the Vampire Diaries

It's already six o'clock. Let's shoot for 2/7.

Pants are Always Optional.

The last two days have been very productive. I inquired to three more school districts about subbing. I took in some final paperwork to my local school system. I also managed to devour an entire avocado by myself. I am successful!

Let's talk about love. I have three friends getting married this summer. Last summer I had two friends get hitched. I think taking the leap into marriage is wonderful if you're prepared for it. However, I don't think many people are. I think couples focus on the wedding more so than the big picture. The big picture means forever. Everyone gets a different love story. Sometimes they end well and sometimes they don't. Since mine has yet to begin, I would like to think it's going to be filled with a handsome, broad shouldered, foreigner. Daydreaming. But I would also settle for something else.[See Below]

Let Them Eat Cake.

Between worrying about my future and cleaning up after sticky children, I have been given the great honor of being the MOH (Maid of Honor) for my best friend's wedding. Yesterday we had a cake testing with a very popular (and outrageously expensive) bakery. Fun fact: Cake testings are free.

My favorite was the gooey chocolate fudgy delight with raspberry filling. I was willing to bathe in the whipped goodness between the layers of cake. However, wedding cake is not going to help me fit into the bridesmaid's dress hanging in my closet. At this point there's too much filling for me to wear the stupid thing.

One Day You Will Be Loved

I like music. I'm fairly certain everyone does. I know a married couple who, before they puts rings on each other, made playlists for each other. Tons and tons of CD's full of lovely, bold, crafty tunes. One day I would like to have someone to give a playlist too. Because alot of times you don't have the right words to tell someone how they make you feel. Sometimes those words get stuck in our throats or our tongues swell up as we try to say them outloud.  

A Special Playlist for You-Who-Is-Not Known

1. I and Love and You by The Avett Brothers
2. Cosmic Love by Florence+ The Machine
3. Swept Away by The Avett Brothers
4. Better than Nothing by Sarah Jaffe
5. Winter Winds by Mumford and Sons
6. Make You Feel My Love by Adele
7. Enchanted by Taylor Swift
8. The Girl by City and Colour
9. Save Me From Myself by Christina Aguilera
10. Blinded by Third Eye Blind


To Be Continued...

Ever feel Trapped in a Walnut?

Job lead kind of a bust. However, any lead is better than no lead.

Sidenote:

This is what I want to look like when I grow up. Brooklyn Decker is lovely. Interestingly enough, this is one of the few photos of her I was able to find with all her clothes on. She really likes bikinis
