little random facts

Lyndsay, from Scenic Glory did a post yesterday about little random facts from her life. So I wanted to share my own list with you guys as well. She originally got this idea from eat drink be a tourist.

eating/drinking: ritz crackers, strawberry Yoplait yogurt, a regular coke from JCW’s

listening to: 97.1 ZHT FM and spanish tunes from my iPod. Is anybody else obsessed with The Time - Dirty Bit from the black eyed peas? I love the rhythm that that song has!

pondering: about how I’m ever going to start that paper for pharmacology. I hate writing.  And I’m thinking about what the weekend will bring.

wearing: my new shirt from boheme boutique - taupe color with black lace across the front, ruffled sleeves. Skinny jeans. Black cowgirl boots. Pink watch. Hair curly and down.
 

anticipating: the weekend. Getting my taxes done and hopefully getting some money back.

baking: I don’t know what that word means...

reading: Nursing Interventions, Pharmacology textbooks. On the side when I get a chance which is never, PS I love you (have you guys seen that movie?), and I am number 4.

loving: every single moment in life. I love how much fun I’ve been having and the beautiful people that surround me. Coke. Pink things. ♥

buying: this pink sweater I saw at the boutique the other day. I really really really want it.

If you do one like this let me know so I can read your list too! :)

Today

marks my 5 years and 8 month dating anniversary. it's amazing how fast time goes by. it feels like just yesterday when i first met my boyfriend. and with everyday that goes by i fall more deeply in love with him. i don't want to sound cheesy so i'll save the lovey dovey post for our 6th year anniversary.

now, i know that i need a couple of spankins cause i haven't been blogging regularly nor have i been commenting as much and for that you can thank my school. :P but i'm trying to find a balance between work, school, and blogging so I'm going to try my hardest to blog more often, ok.

With that said, i'm so excited that it's Friday today!Hip hip hooray!

What are your lovely plans for the weekend?

Meatyloaf Timmy

Sometimes when I get bored at work I IM my friend, and we have funny, random conversations. Like take this one for example - where we start chatting about Tim McGraw and end up with Beefcake...

(4:38 PM) Grecia: hey is tim mcgraw an actor as well?
(4:38 PM) Aubrey: yea but only recently
(4:39 PM) Grecia: REALLY!
(4:40 PM) Grecia: holy macaroni. he looks better with the cowboy hat on.
(4:41 PM) Aubrey: i don't like him without his hat!
(4:42 PM) Grecia: yeah he's got weird hair and he just doesn't look as melting without it. oh. in case you didn't know he's my husband too. but only when he wears his hat.
(4:43 PM) Aubrey: hahaha well fine, you have him and i get RYAN REYNOLDS!
(4:43 PM) Grecia: oh no i call dibs on him too!

(4:45 PM) Aubrey: i'm sure Faith calls him Timmy
(4:46 PM) Grecia: oh boy.
(4:46 PM) Grecia: timmy doesn't go well with that hunk of a man.
(4:46 PM) Aubrey: hunk!? hahahah
(4:46 PM) Aubrey: that's a funny word
(4:46 PM) Grecia: stop making me laugh out loud!
(4:47 PM) Grecia: Yes. he's a HUNK.
(4:48 PM) Grecia: from wikipedia: Hunk- A slang term for a sexually appealing man, a person who is sexually attractive or a well-muscled, sexualized man, as in beefcake.
(4:50 PM) Grecia: BEEFCAKE. hehehehe.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: BEEFCAKE!?
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: Beefcake.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: For real.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: that sounds like a bad cake.
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: like, a meatloaf.
(4:52 PM) Grecia: that's what it says....
(4:52 PM) Aubrey: MEATYLOAF TIMMY
(4:52 PM) Grecia: Oh this is just too funny!
(4:53 PM) Grecia: um... can i post this conversation in my blog under funny things? hahahaha
(4:54 PM) Aubrey: Oh go for it, I want to remember this day for all time and eternity.

Get 2 Know Me

I noticed that people have been doing a "30 day blog challenge". I don't know if it was only something for the month of November? But since I came back to the blogging world a little ways into the month I didn't get a chance to participate. So now I'm going to do it through the month of December. Yay me! I think it's a great way to get to know me more. However, I won't be posting about it here, I'll be posting it on my other blog. Yep, I run 2 blogs. I'm like addicted to blogging. I've already posted my 1st thing out of the 30 day challenge. If you want to see a picture of me and read about how my day was click here. And feel free to comment on my horrible quality pic or how bad I stink at air hockey. :)

Stand By Me

So like a mentioned on my last post, I have a new blog! And I got it all prettied up, come on over and take a look. I'm trying to figure out how this whole thing (having 2 blogs) is going to work out though. I don't want to delete this one because then I'll lose the small amount of people that do read me once in awhile, (by small I do mean 1 or 2) but I also know that I will be writing more on my new blog...
Hmmm... Well if you wanna,

come follow my other blog.

Pretty please?

I feel like I'm talking to emptiness.

The hard part about being a newbie to this world of blogging is getting people to read you and comment.  Any suggestions on how I can get readers?

Anyway, I'll leave you with this song that I'm currenty diggin'!

I know you guys are familiar with this one.

It's the spanglish version.

Let me know if you like it!

Suggestions Needed

Spring semester ended.  Took physiology in the summer.  Summer semester has ended... for me.  Nursing pre-reqs, all done.  Applying for the Nursing program is the next step! Yes, I'm nervous.  And that is my little update ha!

Now I'm trying to enjoy my summer vacation but I am going nuts!!!

I think I may have become a schoolaholic or something, because oddly enough I miss school.  Even after all the hard work and headaches it has given me!

I know. Crazy huh! 

I work full time.  I have seriously read like crazy, have caught up on the bachelorette (my all time favorite show), have rented movies, watched them, and yet...

I still have like the whole afternoon left. 

And this is why I'm back to blogging. 

I don't know how to fill up my time and I'm running out of ideas on what else to read, watch, etc. 

Please if you have any suggestions on what's hot right now tell me!!!!  Comment! 

As for now, my great friend/co-worker is going to let me borrow "Hunger Games". 

Is that good?  I hope so!

99

 

I originally saw this posted by Kaitlin at Ah My Married Life.   It looks fun and since I haven't blogged much lately I've decided that this would make a good, quick, and fun post, so I'm going to join in as well!

But before, a quick life update:  I have been super busy with school.  And I have an Anatomy midterm this week.  Wish me luck guys!  Yesterday I got a new car insurance, which is 30 dollars cheaper than the one I had previously.  Makes me excited!  Also, my car has decided that it's going to give me fits.  I just hope that whatever is wrong with it, it won't be so expensive.  The End.
