a few random things

Sitting here watching TV/ relaxing and  I just had the urge to Blog...mainly to update (not that any of this will be SUPER interesting).
The truth is I am about to take a sleeping pill and turn on a movie. I haven't slept well in the past week and it is starting to catch up on me...and that's not good. Ive relied primarily on unhealthy amounts of caffeine to keep me awake while working. The whole "read a book and take a bath" thing backfired on me last night when I looked at the clock, several chapters later, and it was 2am. Awesome.

Random-ness

1. I have been watching the Casey Anthony trial and or the news afterwards on HLN for the past 2 weeks. NERD. I had slightly followed the case over the past 3 years, but finally came across it while in my hotel room 2 weeks ago. And that's where the small obsession began. I don't even think it has to do with the dynamics of the case...which are insane to begin with (no pun intended...) but more to do with the dynamics of the court system. Ive learned all sorts of new info and terms from this case. I have to admit that I have been watching it with a biased opinion...but come-on...you didn't report your daughter missing for 31 days!? And it turns out now that she "drowned" and you covered it up with your "sexually abusive" father...REALLY!? Sorry, mini rant. I digress. I have tried to watch it with a non-bias opinion, and honestly, I couldn't be a juror on this case. If I knew nothing about this case, I wouldnt know what to think. Too much scientific mumbo-jumbo. 

I have been watching it with the kids that I watch during the day, and I think it is a great piece of potential history to learn from. However, this is 100% my summer guilty pleasure "show".

2. I would love to start a beauty products blog. I love reading them (another guilty pleasure I have) and then buying/testing the products for myself (an even worse and costly guilty pleasure). When I learned that the makeup you own can be a "collection" that can be "grown"...I went crazy. My desk, which once held books, papers and my computer was turned into my vanity...with all four drawers full and my desktop full. I could stop whenever I want...I swear. BUT...I think it would be so cool to review all the new stuff that I get to try! There is so many of them out there however that this may stay on my "to-do" list for a bit.

3. MOVE IN DAY IS IN 2 WEEKS. Should I even attempt to explain how excited elated ecstatic I am!? It couldnt possibly show through a blog post. I will post pictures once everything is moved it. We will be painting on the 8th and hopefully moving in all our stuff that weekend since we have a few crazy weeks in July coming up. 

I know there was more but I cant think of them now. Oh well. Im pretty sure it had to do with my search for a movie I bought. Its no where to be found. Maybe I'll find it when I pack to leave....gag (I HATE PACKING).
Alright...bedtime :)

UPDATE: I remembered. You know? That other "thing".
It was about my recent obsession with frozen grapes. Red to be exact. Seriously, try it sometime. :)

Apartments, Tests and Weddings, Oh My!!

Well this is the second time Ive tried to write this. My brain isn't functioning. I start things...but then lose interest or get distracted and cant finish. I blame my lack of school. Dont get me wrong, it is GREAT to not have to worry about that right now, but I'm used to having to deal with deadlines, projects and papers. Not having to deal with those things for the first time in six years (yes, I have taken classes EVERY semester since I started college in 2006) has either fried my brain or turned it to mush. 

Anyways.

Some catching up is in order. News? Kyle and I have officially signed our first lease for our first apartment together. YAAAAY!! We were going to buy, but neither of us want to stay in NOVA for the next five years, and we didn't think it would be worth it to dig ourselves into a hole that we couldn't get out of quickly.We will be "moving" July 8th. We got a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with our friend Evan. Can I just say again...YAAAAY!!! Its such a nice place and of course I will post pictures once it is all decorated...whenever that may be. If there is one lesson I have been taught about decorating its to take my time and not to settle for things I don't like because of a rush.

This week is probably one of the more stressful ones that I have had to deal with. I am looking forward to this Saturday and dreading it all at once. I have to take my Praxis 2 exam AGAIN. ugh. I am horrible at taking tests and I am kicking myself for changing so many answers on the last test. So now I am sitting here and taking a break from studying. But my basement looks like it puked History Notes. I am telling myself that I will be okay, third time's a charm, and that I need to not second guess myself again. Friday I will head down the Charlottesville, check into my hotel and go into hiding (study mode). Not that I havent spent the past two days reading and re-reading these study guide books haha. I have to take it down in Charlottesville because Kyle's sister Amie is getting married this weekend. I would not miss that for the world! But I guess the good news is that the day will start out stressful and end wonderfully! 

Here is a picture into my night: 

 The puppy in the background is "Bubbs"...the good luck charm Kyle brought me yesterday :) 

Well, back to studying. Here goes nothing!
