I never learned patience, maybe because I'm a control freak?

I've always been impatient, I need instant gratification. I hate asking a question and having to wait for an answer, or going somewhere like a car wash and waiting for my car to be done. I'm not sure why this is, maybe I'm just bad at entertaining myself but who knows. Right now I'm sitting at the car wash, knowing that this is going to be a long wait so its my own fault for pulling in. Least they do it for me though, and its not one of the car washes you sit in and the huge washers attack your...

It's the little victories...

There are few things in life that I honestly hate doing alone, dining out is one of them. I use to do it in college on work breaks because I'd want to get away from the job. Well today, I did it! It's honestly been at least 7 or 8 years, hilarious. I was really in the mood for some Dairy Queen Chicken Strips (I know high quality right?), anyhow I didn't feel like going back to work yet after a seminar so I stopped for lunch. I sat there and got some grad school stuff ready. There was one group of...

I heart award show dresses

I absolutely love watching award show red carpets. Everyone looks so beautiful! Just for fun I chose my favorite and not so favorites to share!!  FAVORITES This look on Jennifer is just beautiful, my favorite part is that it was a Christmas gift from her boyfriend. He's a keeper!! Absolutely stunning, this dress and Penelope's whole looks is just gorgeous!! This is a great look. I love the fit on her and the gold is beautiful. Golds and silvers stole my heart this year. Kristen Bell looks beautiful in this dress. Very young and vibrant looking, short was a great way to go!! NOT...

The Last Decade...

As I start to live out my goals I've set for myself in the new year, I think it's about time that I reflect on the who I am and how I got there. This last decade has been very significant for me, I've been through high school, college, relationships, friends and so much more. I really feel that you can never truly advance in life if you can't learn from your past. This blog is VERY long, I honestly needed to write this more for myself then for entertainment purposes. I needed to reflect and this has helped.  2000- The end of 2000 signified a new beginning for me. I was one of those kids that was always bored,...

Look a likes

Has anyone ever told you that you've got a twin or that they've seen someone who looks just like you? I have never really paid much attention to who my twin could be, although I've heard people say things like I thought I saw you yesterday or I think I saw your twin. One night I was at a friends for a party and she insisted that I needed to watch Real Housewives of New Jersey, I don't have cable so I'd never seen it. I bought into it and started watching a clip with her, she then points out that I'm just like Jaqueline. In the sense that she's my twin and that we act the same. She's very pretty so I take...

Funniest youtube I've seen in awhile

This has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen. Is it bad that I think a kid slapping an adult man is funny? Maybe, but really this is funny shit! The little boy is just passionate about his Doritos lol!...

Great reads....

My Bloody Life: The Making of a Latin King  by Reymundo Sanchez Once a King Always a King: The Unmaking of a Latin King  by Reymundo Sanchez I haven't been a big reader for the longest time but a good friend of mine is lent me the first book and I was hooked. Oddly enough gang life has always interested me because I just don't understand how so many people can just be so void of emotions and just not care about life and be so prepared for death. Anyhow this is a true story of a man who was a Latin King here in Chicago. It's very details and really makes you see what some of these people have been...

Best of 2009

What was your best trip in 2009? I didn't do any real vacations this year except going home to Ohio, so really each time I went home it was a great time. In May I got to go home and watch my little sister graduate high school, in November I got to see her in her new school element and in December I got to really enjoy the whole family and the real meaning of Christmas which to me is making others smile.  Share the best restaurant experience you had this year. My birthday dinner at Cafe Iberrico. I shared my birthday experience with my friend Ryan, we had a shared birthday party which was awesome. A group...
