I've come to a sad realization, this is probably going to be the last summer of sitting around on my ass doing whatever I feel like. This is going to be my first and hopefully last summer as a college student, and though I am taking classes, they're almost entirely internet based (yayyy for flexibility!). In lieu of this I've decided I should make up a little list of things I ought to try ridiculously hard to do, complex things like drink more coffee naked, and go get a tattoo. Or,

1. Go hiking every weekend - Not only is it good for you, it'll get you outdoors, and tanner, and fitter, and if you don't know, all that will also make your boobs perkier. I was not expecting that last one, but I am enjoying it immensely. Negative side effects though may include sweating profusely in front your your significant other, and the inability to reach your legs for shaving the next morning. 

2. Ditch your makeup - Your face will be healthier because there will be less crap on it for you to forget to wash off at night. You'll also notice that you don't give a damn about running out for breakfast sans makeup anymore because now you might even think you're hot without it. Also stop putting gel in your hair. Buy more coconut oil, and just let your hair do it's thing. 

3.  Go camping - This combines goals 1 and 2 so it's technically cheating as far as list making goes. But it's still something I want to start doing. 

4. Buy more dresses and colors of Doc Martens - wear them EVERYWHERE. Because this summer is going to be way too fucking hot for pants...And umm, you could wear your boots hiking? Wait, no never mind. You'll look hot, end of story. 

5. Resist the urge to smoke weed every day. I don't know anyone that has control of their appetite after a bowl or two, I am definitely not one of those mythical people. Pot= bigger shorts necessary. Also, limit your binge drinking. Hangovers are not fun, and they are a total waste of a nice day. 

6. Most importantly - Hang out with your boyfriend more. Find more common interests, and go watch a kung fu movie with him....unless you hate kung fu like I do. Haha. Have more sex. Self explanatory. Also, institute a morning where all you do is cuddle, and drink coffee. Preferably naked. 

and more stuff, like paint your nails, and stop biting them off whenever you're drunk. Do more silly things. If you have heart shaped sunglasses, wear them, all the time. Wear pigtails, wear clothes that you love. Buy a cape from Toddland and wear it around the house with your favorite underpants. Talk to strangers on the bus, and most importantly, have more fun doing every day stuff. Make more cell phone charms and necklaces for friends, hang out with your cat more, learn to cook something new, actually go to the library, and start driving instead of letting your boyfriend drive you around everywhere. Also, go buy some new panties, you deserve them. Oh, and make new friends. Or at least one. 

 

I know i'm one of the worst people for updating. Honestly, I just like reading other peoples blogs when I have a free minute before I leave for class in the AM.
School is super hectic right now. Now that midterms are over, I'm starting to write term papers for five different classes, and feeling a little swamped. Which is why I of course went to a birthday party, and then a liquor store afterwards. It's Saturday for God's sake. I should not spend the entire day knee deep in reading and writing assignments, right? Yeah. But I have realized that i don't put nearly enough material on here. I went thought my (super creepy) timeline on facebook today, and looked at my old posts allllll the way from 2009....self stalk much? haha. But I had a few chuckles over things old friends had said, and sent out a few messages to reconnect and nostaglilize over old stuff. But it made me realize that sometimes it's fun to just read over what happened last year, or even two years ago. And If I looked at this blog two years from now, there would be nothing but mean posts about my ex. Whooooops.
So, here's a happy update for april. I'm doing great. Wyatt and I are still happy with each other, and we're still madly in love. I love the way he looks in cargo pants, and the way he kisses my forehead at night when we cuddle. I love that he laughs when he notices that i'm tipsy, and that he asks me about my day when he picks me up from my night class. I love that he enjoys cooking dinner, and doesn't bitch when I forget to clean the cats litter box. Speaking of that, I'm glad he let me talk him into adopting not one, but two kittens. They're adorable, and full of energy, that sometimes we don't have. They're names are Bagheera, and Forrest, and I feel like they add more life to our apartment. Funniest of all though, they both play fetch. I'm not even kidding, they bring us toys to throw all the time, whether we're cooking dinner, or crawling into bed, there's a toy flopped beside us and an expectant trill from a kitty nearby. They're adorable, and lovey, and the best thing that I think we've ever agreed on. Sidenote, I adopted out my guinea pigs to a nice older lady who wanted them for her grandchildren. I'm happier now that I know someones got them that really wants them, and the boyfriends happy that they're not taking up so much space, and that there's not pine shavings on the floor.
Next topic, school is crazy. The class I'm really enjoying though now that i'm a matriculated mortuary science student is anatomy. I'm pulling apart cadavers, and honestly enjoying the shit out of it. The human body is an amazing piece of machinery. I was working on a fella last week, and we peeled back all of the skin til we got to his major muscles and arteries and veins, and then had to find a femoral artery, down in his leg. It was the coolest shit ever. In class that night we had been talking about the effect that fat, smoking, and calcium have on your vascular system, and we were all kind of like "yeah, whatever, I really like chicken mcnuggets" lol. But when we got in the lab and opened this guy up all I could do was stare. He was a pretty healthy older guy, but the veins and arteries in his lower legs were just clogged with plaque, and calcium deposits.... It was nuts. I just looked down and couldn't believe that he even had blood flow to his feet, I mean, his entire femoral artery was nothing but hard, crunchy, gritty plaque buildup..... It was nuts.
Anyway, that's what i've been doing. Writing, working, and cutting cadavers open.

My blogs been ridiculously depressing for a long time... I'm tired of it. I haven't updated in months, because honestly, i've been the happiest i've been in years. Wyatt and I are loving our new apartment, and living together for that matter. In December, we'll have been together for 9 months. I'm already trying to come up with what i'm getting him for out one year.... eek.
-School's going great, if not a little stressful, but I guess that comes with the territory. I've got my classes for next semester lined up, and i'm going to attempt a full 18 credits... we'll see how it goes.
-Annnnnnd I'm finishing up my christmas shopping this morning while I drink some awesome ass coffee in my pajamas. I made apple sauce last night, and made apple sauce, cinnamon, clove pancakes this morning with it.
-I made dark chocolate no bakes, and butterscotch chip cookies last night, and didn't eat all of them before Wyatt got home. Self control? Oh yeahhhhhhhh :) haha.
-Got an IUD put in last month, which hurt like a mother. and my period this week knocked. me. on. my. ass. I didn't have any non-blood thinning painkillers in my apartment, and nearly bled the fuck out and had fucking ridiculously terrible cramps for 4 straight days. quit the ibuprofen, and proceeded to still bleed the fuck out to the point of light headed-ness and nausea. missed classses, and looked like a hot grumpy mess like couldn't sleep anywhere but the couch. Hurt like a motherfucker. I think it's mostly over now. But I swear to God if it's that bad next month, i'll be considering having it removed. But that's the only negative thing about this month, or this blog post.
- My family has started sending me cash on random occasions. It's like they all collectively decided I really was going to college at the same time. And now they're helping out since I can only work part time with my class load.
- I went no-poo on my hair about a month ago. I won't say I love it everyday, but most days, I do. I'm doing the standard BS wash every 3 or 4 days, and vinegar/peppermint spiked rinses every morning. I'm still playing around with the ratios, but most days my hair looks good. And I swear to God my hair's getting longer because i'm rubbing, and brushing my hair on the regular. I've got curly ass hair...So the only time I was brushing it before was in the shower. On that note, I feel like i'm losing less hair every day. And my hair holds styles better now. I can toss it up in the sloppiest french braid on earth, and it'll stay up there all day.
-And it's awesome how much you can do with just those two things. I can take my 'conditioner' vinegar spray bottle out of the shower, and wipe down the bathroom mirrors real quick with it. It works better than Windex, and it makes my bathroom smell like peppermint :p And there's not nearly as many chemicals flying around my apartment, my piggies, or on us. Somehow that makes me feel better. I scrubbed down my whole kitchen with baking soda and vinegar last night. You wanna know how you get dried on crap out of your microwave in 2 seconds flat? Yeah, baking soda and vinegar mix. It's amazing. And it doesn't dry my hands out like my normal bleach water spray does that I usually slosh onto everything.

and that's my life in a nutshell right now. baking, cleaning, school, etc.
