Inside My Camera Roll

Last week Kay wrote the most awesome post called "36 of the Best Blog Post Ideas... EVER!" It full of great ideas, and more than a few caught my eye. One that I really loved suggested that you post the last pictures from your phone without deleting anything. So fun! Here are my most recent:

On Monday after a work training I had in Pittsburgh, me and some of the girls I work with went to DSW. As soon I saw these shoes I knew I had to try them on! We were absolutely cracking up and making a huge spectacle as I walked around the store in these. The scary part, though, was that this was the only pair left! Yikes.

Sometimes when I'm trying to Snap Chat I accidentally take it with my regular camera. I was trying to show Sam how much this koozie brightens my work days!

This is actually a zoomed in screenshot of a picture of Sam and his friends that he posted on facebook. I texted him and said "Want to see something hilarious?" and then I sent him this picture with the caption "It's your face. Bahahahaha!" What a sweetheart I am...

Parallel parking like a champ! Of course it needed documented.

I caught Keeper drinking out of the fish tank! Silly cat.

In case you were wondering what it's like to get a drunk selfie from me, here you have it. I sent this to my bff Scott last weekend. We always exchange selfies when we drink, duh.

So there you have it: my life in pictures! In case you can't tell, my life is pretty weird. What's the weirdest picture you've taken recently?

In the Limelight

Guess what, guess what?! He Calls Me Grace is featuring me on her blog today! I answered all sorts of fascinating questions, so if you've ever wondered what my dream job is or wanted to know more about my blog name,  or if you just like to hear read me talking about myself (and we all know you do or you wouldn't be reading my blog) then you should probably click over to Katie's blog RIGHT MEOW!

Oh, and here's a picture of Elsa. Both for your viewing pleasure, and just because she's my favorite thing on the planet. I'm so glad you all enjoy seeing pictures of her just as much as I do ;)

Nom nom nom. Daddy's walkie is so delicious

I Didn't Want to Tell You, But...

I recently found a link-up I've never done before, and I love a good link-up! Along with the link-up, I also discovered a fabulous blog which I am now mildly obsessed with, and will probably binge read in the very near future. So today, I am linking Kathy for Hump Day Confessions!

-I failed at day #1 of my third April goal

-I miss my boyfriend way more than I thought I would

-I'm absolutely dreading bikini season this year

-I complain about my job way too much, even though I know that I should just be grateful to have one

-I cannot stop buying things I don't need... but at least my chubby cat S&P shakers are cute!

-I have too many clothes, and somehow I still never have anything I want to wear

-I am still not over the most recent iOS update; I get annoyed every time someone calls me and their picture doesn't pop up

-I still haven't filed my taxes

-I think about getting married way more than I should

What is your hump day confession?

Goals Schmoals

It's pretty popular around the blogisphere to make a monthly goal post. I've never participating in this goal-making thing, but this month seemed like a good month to start. I didn't decide this until Sunday, though, so it's not the first of the month like most people tend to do. Whatever, I like to blog outside the box.

Paint my nails every week. I've been telling myself I need to start painting my nails again. They used to always be perfect, but then college happened and I didn't have the time for it anymore so I got out of the routine. I'm hoping to maybe get engaged someday soon and I really want my nails to be un-chipped when that day comes.  I probably have a long while before this happens, but I should make it a habit now.

So far so good with this goal! Mani of the week inspired by this

Check out at least one apartment. My friend Chelsae and I want to get an apartment together, and we really need to get to looking. Because of my plans this weekend and then Easter the next there's not a lot of time in April to look. Her lease runs out at the end of next month, though, and it would be nice to find something now and not be scrambling at the last minute.

Werk. I really need to start working out more. I feel like I get more chub by the day, and my on-again off-again relationship with the gym is doing nothing for my beach bod. I'm going to go to zumba/bokwa Monday-Thursday (or just do an hour of cardio if I miss class), and I'm going to start the Malibooty routine that I saw on Tyler's page along with my normal ab stuff. I'd also like to throw in some weights, but I'm not gonna make that a goal just yet.

Pre-schedule all my blog posts on the weekends. I did this one time and swore I was gonna do it from then on out, but I was a straight failure at that plan. It's so much easier and less stressful, so for the rest of the month I am going to schedule on the weekends.

Learn to do something new with my hair. I like wearing my hair up, especially for work, but I'm not so talented in the hair department. I want to master at least one new hairstyle this month. I'd like to learn something like this below, but I would love your suggestions on easy up-dos for work! (Pretty please- post them in the comments!)

Day-cation

Last week I had a meeting in Harrisburg, so I asked my mom to take off work and come with me. After my AM meeting we had the whole day to spend frolicking the city. First stop? Hershey!

The "factory tour" is so cute, and it's free! You ride a little ride complete with singing cows and fake chocolate and learn how Hershey's makes all of their delicious candy. It was really cute- we actually ended up doing it twice!

After the factory tour we did the "make your own candy bar" attraction. It was absolutely worth the $15 it cost. You start out at a little computer screen where you design your bar. I had a white chocolate bar with toffee, pretzels, and butterscotch chips. Then it goes onto a conveyor belt where all your insides are dropped in. Next it gets coated with milk chocolate and sent to the drying chamber! While it dries you get to design a wrapper, then go pick up your finished bar! It comes inside of a metal keepsake box, which I really liked.

After the factory we went to lunch at a restaurant called The Chocolate Avenue Grille. Yummm! It was SO good. We ordered a hummus appetizer that was to die for, and then I got a coconut chicken salad that I'd like to eat everyday for life.

After lunch we headed back to Harrisburg and walked around the capitol building. The day had started out rainy but ended up being gorgeous. We really wish Hershey Gardens had been open, but of course the season started 3 days later :( It ended up being a perfect day and I'm so glad my mom was able to come!

If you could take off work and go on a day-cation, where would you go?

Two Truths and a Lie Unveiled!

Yesterday I posted Two Truths and a Lie about myself. If you didn't read that post, you should probably go catch up and make your guess! I'll wait for you...

So now that we're all caught up and the suspense is sufficiently killing you, it's time to unveil the answers!

I own close to 20 body sprays: Truth! Yeah, it's like a sickness. In my defense, they're mostly all the travel-sized ones! I just can't pick one smell- I like to change things up. I also always match my spray to my outfit. Wearing pink? That goes with Paris Amour! Because, you know, it would be tacky to wear a pink shirt with something in a blue bottle...

I went to make-up school: Lie! The part about me being really into make-up was true, and I even looked into a summer class in NYC, but I never actually did it.

I love to whitewater kayak: Truth! I took a few classes in college and absolutely fell in love. I haven't gone in forever, but I'm hoping to go to the White Water Center in Charlotte this summer with Sam. He kayaks too, and we are dying to buy our own boats someday!

This is me ^^ :)

So did I fool you or did you guess right?

Two Truths and a Lie

In honor of April Fool's Day (one day late; you can thank scheduled posts for that) I've decided to bring the game Two Truths and a Lie to my blog. You may have heard of this game before; I've played it many times as a dreaded ice breaker on the first day of classes or for job trainings (but don't worry, it's way more fun in blog form). If you haven't heard of it, it's pretty simple. I'm going to tell you three things about myself, but only two of them will be true. It's up to you to determine which one is not. Think I can fool ya?!

I own close to 20 different body sprays. Most of them are from Bath and Body Works, of course. I know that most people like to have a signature scent, but I prefer to match my smell to my outfit.

I went to make-up school. When I was a little younger I was really interested in make-up and loved trying new things with it. One summer during college I found a make-up course that was being offered through a big beauty school so I took it! Even though I barely do my make-up these days it was a really cool experience!

I love to whitewater kayak. In college I used to kayak all the time, and even took a few kayaking courses. I love the rush and excitement, and I don't even mind when my boat tips. I've kayaked in the lake, too, but it's not nearly as fun :)

So which one do you think is the lie? I'll let you know in tomorrow's post!
