Did I ask too much? More than a lot You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
okay so i went a bit crazy on taaz, an online makeover site but it was so fun! now, #1-3 involve me wearing no makeup and looking pretty rough but i never wear make up so tired eyes are okay. is that weird i never wear make up? on a daily basis i mean cause if i am going out to look good and dress up then i for sure throw some eyeliner and gloss on. woah, hold me back! actually from an old job i learned a great place to buy fake eyelashes and other awesome things, like wigs, so i should go back for more plus some thigh highs and what not because they're a great price.
so i am particularly partial to #5 and #6. if #6 could be that color I think I would do that. how weird is #8, that's zooey deschanels hair on me, gwen stefani is #7 and jojo is#3/4/5/6. i believe candace cameron bure is #1/2. so yea i have tried out dj tanners hairstyle.
thoughts? on this? life? why i am so bored? why i need a new job? bueller?

Well now wait one minute, I failed to mention, those tears I cried are tears of joy
tomorrow starts a week of slim fast shakes, salad with vinegar/oil, gilled chicken breasts, and fruit. those are all things i actually really love so it should be easy. as long as i have my protein i am god to go and a nice light next few weeks will do me well. too many time si have allowed myself to eat whatever i want and it isn't healthy and isn't good for my wallet. not that thai food is bad for me necessarily but i need to eat more that just that.
i bought a few things at target and marshalls this weekend that made me happy. new bath rug in turquoise. turquoise fluffy towel and a white one. really cute little rolled up towels to go in a cute little white box i got from tj maxx that says 'bath'. a cute picture frame. new sexyorganicshampoo. a new white rouched in the middle tank top and a white hoody from target. dog treats.
so this is my current hair. i hate the picture but it shows how my hair is two different colors. underneath is dark brown and on top the sun has lightened old highlights. i am debating on going back to black, like black black snooki style or redoing the highlights from last summer. things to consider: black is a bitch to highlight later, highlights are really hard to do because i have my normal hair color growing in + the old highlights+ the dark undertone, highlights are expensive, they look amazing, i am more tan that i was last year, they really are $$, time to do the highlights and maintenance, how i look, what if black washes me out or i look like a jersey shore girl? could i do black and have an awesome undercolor or something shocking like red? or pink?
so any and all comments on what i should do are majorly appreciated because i need some help!! also please note how i used to have such a cute skinny face. im working on it getting it back again thats for sure. having a define chin sure is nice lol. but seriously, i need a change.
maggianos + family + flowers + graduation + sushi + betty whte on snl + long talks with my best friend + shopping + bottled water and zones bars + suprising my mom= a good weekend.
also next is a new tattoo but i am still having trouble on knowing exactly what i want. i am thinking of words on my ribcage but in the white/ultraviolet ink. almost looks like a faded scar so its there but for me. its still looking like "You can not protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness" is going to be the winner although i am thinking of somewhere putting the word 'patience'.

So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!
extremely loud and incredibly close
(one of my favs for the last few years)

do you still have my care bear?
So when i think about why I don't blog or why some blogs completely annoy me or for that matter why most people and things annoy me, its really all for the same thing: whining. I hate when I whine and complain and I don't like reading about people who do it constantly. Which is why I realized I don't use twitter because so many people use it to complain and I just don't care. I hate complaining to myself so why in the hell would I want to be constantly updated on your problems with people spoiling Glee or some other show. If you don't want to be spoiled, stay off the site until you watch it or be prepared.Seeing you bitch about it via twitter just shows you need to step away from the internet and into real life.
This leads me of course to all the things I am happy about lately.
I am 26 and I am a bit embarrassed to admit i am just starting a face routine. I have always had good skin, it's breakout free and soft and I have never bothered about doing anything with it. I mean I seriously don't wash it. I just am pretty whatever about it but Bianca gave me a good and needed wake up call about using moisturizer which is a necessary. So with her recommendation I purchased the Neutrogena SPF one and have been in love ever since. Walgreen's is having a sale on Neutrogena products with a buy one get one 50% so I bought the night time cleanser and a combination skin moisturizer because SPF can clog more pores at night. I seriously don't know what I would do without Bianca and her advice but thank god for her!! So I have a new facial routine and great looking skin with a glow. Win win. Total cost? About $22 with the sale prices.

Jonathan Groff/ Glee
Who doesn't love Glee? I wasn't sure how I felt about Jesse St James played by Jonathan Groff but I am actually pretty sold on him even if he is a maybe bad guy. Kurt's line: No, she's dead. This is her son was ridiculously awesome. I am loving the second half of the season and can't for more. Also there is this amazing Glee drinking game I can't wait to try it out: "Sue says something that would create a lawsuit in a real workplace. So, basically chug whenever she speaks. Sing off . The Parking lot. 5 o'clock.
speaking of Glee...
Jimmy Fallon
Again thanks to Bianca, I get to watch all the hilarious Jimmy Fallon skits. Much like Rober is Bothered, he is a funny and likable guy. Remember he was just an idiot boyfriend?
Joe Manganiello
So he's clearly gorgeous but he's also a great actor that makes me laugh and I have like for a while. He's been on How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, and will be on season 3 of True Blood. These are my top shows not counting Glee so how can I not love this guy? I loved the character of Alcide in the Sookie Books and can't wait to see how he portrays him. Also, he's Italian, do I really need to say more?
Other things making me happy are....
Some hooks up with a really hot in a scruffysexymasculinesmells sogoodiwanttobitehimandohmygodhisassisperfect isralei. It's sporadic and I often want to kill him but overall it's exciting and forbidden and fun. A completely unpredictable situation but that's okay for now.

I'm graduating in like 2 weeks or less. Crazy!!
I am obsessed with yummy food from Thai Spice. If you're in Chicago go eat here asap for some delicious and tasty thai food. The owner is completely nice and helpful.
I've been tanning and am loving the results. I always feel so good tan. Next is new hair color when I can decide on highlights or dark. I got my eyebrows done yesterday and the girl gives such a great arch and makes them look amazing. Along with a bangs trim and I feel pretty good.
Also something that makes me happy?
This guy.
This guy.
I picked him up about a month ago in Michigan. I drove about 600 miles total to get him and he is ridiculously sweet. The only problem is he doesn't have an official name. I call him little guy but I want him to have a real name. I want it to be a name and not a verb or action or something, no scamp or rascal or buddy but something nice. Suggestions more than welcome. Bella seems to like him except when she becomes an asshole about sharing food or a toy or me and I tell her no when she gets sassy and then she gets mad at pees on my bed. Not cool. Especially when you don't see this and climb into bed after a long day and a soothing night time routine and feel a wet spot and realize what it is. Or whatever. Either way he's the newest member of my family although Elad bought him he's completely my little guy.
So that's whats been going on with me. Thanks so much for the comments on my last post. Even though I feel weird about commenting back sometimes, they really meant a lot to me. It helps a lot to know other people feel this way.
