Getting caught up!

Alright fore-warning I'm gonna get caught up on 4 days of missed blogging in one post so its gonna be a hefty post and since I'm on my work computer the pictures are going to be few and far between but the fact that I'm writing is all that matters right?! RIGHT! I've had a horrible week and what I'm sure will be a horrible weekend but what can you do, life happens right, gotta keep my head up and keep moving.

So the last thing I blogged about was my favorite TV show so today I will be writing about my favorite book, my favorite quote, whatever tickles my fucking fancy, and a favorite photo...which I'll need to find. So I'm gonna write this little ditty down and then take a little break and find a picture and get my wits about me.

**jeopardy theme music** (imagine if it was on a loop) 10 minutes later....my computer is being a butt munch and won't let me find my favorite photo...so I guess I'll just update that bit when I'm at home.

BAM just kidding I fixed my computer and now we're in business....lets start!

FAVORITE BOOK!

Okay this one is easy! My favorite book is Memoirs of a Geisha, if you haven't read that book I suggest you close the browser and go to a library or book store and get on that shit.

The book is just what it seems...the memoirs...of a geisha. It was made into a movie, ignore that, that movie blew ass.

FAVORITE QUOTE!

Okay whilst surfing the internet trying to find my favorite quote on a pretty picture or something interesting I found a quote that while not being my favorite really hits home for me as of late.
I've been going through a time in my life where I'm not exactly sure who I am or what I want to be but this quote just give me hope that someday I'll know all those answers and I can finally start to live my life the way I want.

But really my favorite quote is "Trust is everything." and it truly is because like the above quote says, you can't even live your own life the way you want until you trust yourself and you can't be with anyone else the way you want until you trust them.

WHAT TICKLES MY FANCY

Well really right now its less of what tickles my fancy and more of something I feel like I need to write about explain a little. Everyone warns you when you start working with elders that you can't get attached because they are in these places to die and they will and if you get attached you'll be sad, well its true...you do get attached but how can you NOT?! When you see these people everyday and they walk by your desk and talk to you.

I'm saying this because one of the old ladies that I was close to passed away and I'm completely destroyed, that woman was one of the nicest people to roam this earth and right now as I type this they are doing her memorial service in the living room and I've never seen a turn-out this big. They expected about 15 or 20 of the residents and I think pretty much all of them are in that room right now.

She was one of the most loved people and I'll always remember her walking down the hall with her tabasco sauce in her back pocket and watering the flowers.

Love you Ms. Amelia R.I.P.

Okay and now on to something a bit more happy!

A favorite photo...I'm not sure if this is a general favorite photo or a favorite photo that I took but I'm choosing the latter (spelling?)


I know this isn't really anything speical but I love this photo. I took it when I was in London in the summer of 2009. We were going past Big Ben and being the tourist that I am I already had about a thousand pictures but I felt like I needed one more so I turned around and snapped this picture then later looked at it and realized that fence made the perfect accent.

It's pictures like these that make me realize the beauty in the ordinary, and it was so easy to capture that beauty in europe and I hope one day to move there, that'd be freaking sweet.

Alright I've done my job and gotten caught up on all this and I'm sure writing for 4 days in one post is against the rules but I don't care!

Day 3! Oh my god, what does this mean?! Anyways on to Day 3 of the BLOG FOR 30 DAYS CHALLENGE!

Favorite TV show...easiest question ever.

If you know me but AT ALL, you'll know my favorite TV show is Sex and the City!

I remember the first time I was ever introduced to this gem of a show. I had come home from a friends house and it was the evening and my parents were watching HBO....I walk into the living room just as a pretty raunchy sex scene comes on and I'm like "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?! Stop watching porn."

I was grossed out, then I started to sit down with my parents and watch the show (awkward) and I realized its about so much more than sex! So great.

Well I was gonna skip today because I wasn't really feeling up to writing much but I decided I'm on a roll I better keep it going!

Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner!

Oh HOT DAMN! Two days in a row, I believe this is some kind of record. So day 2 of this blogging challenge...is....**drum roll** FAVORITE MOVIE.

Well just like yesterday I'm gonna list my top 3 movies in ORDER...so if you are a good kid just read the #1 movie and ignore the rest, if you're a rebel read them all. Take a chance.

So ladies....and well lady, because I'm sure only one person reads this....lets DOOOO IT!



#1 Movie of ALL FREAKING TIME! DIRTY FUCKING DANCING....okay so its not called dirty dancing its called Dirty Dancing and its fucking fabulous (please excuse the language).

Seriously I mean who doesn't LOVE this movie...it contains everything! Romance, adventure, music, comedy...lets be honest that's all you really need.

The acting leaves a little to be desired but this movie is from 1987 so really we can't complain...and Patrick Swayze was a FOX in that movie!

Okay lets movie on (get it?! its like MOVE! Only MOVIE cuz we're talking about movies.....?.....huh......shut up) the number 2 movie took me a second because I already have 2 pictures saved on my computer that I can use...and I had to ask myself, both of these movies are equally fantastic but which have I seen more?

Here it is ladies....Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. If you haven't seen this movie go drown yourself, its great. Hilarious! If you don't find Jim Carey funny then I can't help you because you obviously have absolutely no sense of humor....oh man....goooood times.

Now the third movie I'm not even gonna defend because most people I know hate this movie so I'll simply post a picture and leave it at that. Judge me or not!

double rainbow all the way across the sky

I think I'm gonna start writing again in this dang blog. There is just so much going on in my life (sarcasm) I have absolutely no free time to just sit around (sarcasm).

Apparently sarcasm isn't well recieved over the internet. The truth is that during the week I pretty much do nothing but sit around...so why not start blogging about the things that happen in my life? The only person who's blog I read regularly is Jess's and she does cute little challenges and fill in the blank days, and lets be honest I'm nowhere near clever enough to do those in any interesting manner, but I am gonna try!

Sooooo first off, let me first say I'm doing this at work because I was supposed to be doing a little project for the business manager but he decided not to show up today, so I spent some time reading Living Judaism, then spent some time starting the project, aka putting in resident names into a spreadsheet (took about 6 and a half minutes)...then I read some more...then I surfed the web...and now I'm blogging! (I get paid money to do all this yee-haw)

OH! Some things that are/will be taking up some of my time are my Intro to Judaism class which......

20 minutes later...

Sorry about that some old lady needed help sorting her mail which she hadn't gotten out of the mailbox since like June. Crazy old folks, I love em...

ANYWAY I was saying my Intro to Judaism class lasts for 6 months...at the the end of which I hope to convert. Yeehaww..

Also...I'm going back to school, at the community college by my house so I can get my pre-reqs out of the way so I can go to nursing school...cuz I love the old folk and if I'm a nurse I can make more money and work with the old folk. Cheeee haw.

Now on to more important things like the 30 day BLOGGING CHALLENGE...dun dun dunnnn.

Basically, there are thirty prompts, each day there is a different prompt...and you write (or blog if you will) about each prompt...therefore you are blogging each day for thirty days. What a concept.

Holy CRAPOLI thats a whole lotta bloggin' Lets see if I can do it. I highly doubt I will but A for effort right.

Okay so Day 1 is supposed to be my FAVORITE SONG!

Well to be honest I'm not the kind of girl who has a favorite song, mostly I have a favorite song for about 2 weeks, during which I listen to that song NON-STOP. And right now that song is....The Double Rainbow song...from the youtube guys who do Autotune the News...its so funny that I listen to it constantly...the lyrics annoy everyone around me, except my pseudo little brother Tyler who sings along with me, but I don't care!

Well I would write more about the song but lets be honest, I already wrote enough above so I say I'm DONE!

Well...its been fun...that didn't waste as much time as I hoped it would but alas. Hopefully my other blog posts will be a lot better if Jess would tell me where she gets all her awesome pictures! Then mine too will be full of pictures! And maybe even glitter...if I can manage it I'll put glitter right into this blog.

Okay. Krystal out.
