Advice from Disney Pricnesses

Natasha from Samster Mommy now Little Pink Monster shared this on her blog today. I loved it. It cracked me up and made me laugh while I was taking a break from writing a paper and stressing about grad school.

I love Disney Princesses - but these are really funny.







These also reminded me of these two pictures I have seen floating around the web.

Hope this made you smile today! :-D

Back to the paper. 

NKOTBSB OH EM GEE

Seriously. OH. MY. GOSH!!

I have been to BSB multiple times. They are always great. Never disappointed.

As a young girl I loved New Kids on the Block. Loved them. Watched the video of their concert ALL THE TIME.

When I heard they were coming to Washington D.C. I had to have tickets.

I also wanted my mom to go with me. So that is what I got for Christmas.

After a rough start to the evening ( a different blog post that WILL be coming – lets just say I am not happy with Verizon Center) my mom worked her mommy magic and we had the best night ever!

Here are some pictures of the night. Once I go through the videos I may toss a couple up here too – depending on how much you hear of my horrible, no voice left singing!

our view (after mommy magic)

excited for the start!!!

ahhhhhhhh

this would be during please don’t go girl… boyfriend can STILL hit the high notes!!

they brought girls on stage

not bitter, but this girl isn’t even old enough to know either group…just saying

So Happy

Can’t really tell here, but Donnie still has it. Seriously. Shew

HAHA – all the screaming was getting to her – cough cough she is old cough cough

Hot, sweaty and having a blast

Best concert I have ever been to. EVER.

 

I must say, my expectations were blown away. I heard them on new years eve, and I was a little worried they wouldn’t sound good. Well. That just isn’t the case. I spend the rest of the weekend wishing I could see it again.

Best night ever. The End.

 

Thanks mom for braving the loud screaming WOMEN and getting us great seats!! I had a blast with you! I love you!

So much to be excited about

After you get out of school, summers really aren’t all that. You still have to go to work everyday, no 3 month break from that!

So you have to look for the little things to get excited about and look forward to.

Lately, we have been traveling short little vacations here and there, always for an event (wedding, birthday etc.) We aren’t taking a big vacation this summer.

I just started school, so I get to spend my summer with my head in the books and fingers typing papers. I am excited about this (an nervous)

But there are lots of things I am looking forward to. The first thing is TOMORROW!!

That is right!!! When I was little I LOVED NKOTB! I had the videos and watched them all the time! I had the lunch box and nightshirt and more!

I have seen BSB in concert 4 times since my sophomore year so this is a combo I can get SUPER excited about!

I heard they were coming to DC and called my dad and told him I wanted tickets for Christmas, and I wanted my mom to go with me! So that is what is happening tomorrow. SCORE!

I am also excited for July when I get to go see Keith Urban. A valentines day/ anniversary gift from my love! I love concerts!

 

I am also excited for some summer weddings that are coming up. One next weekend and one at the end of summer (which I am in!)

There are a bunch of movies this summer that are on my radar, but two I am most excited about.

I am super excited about Harry Potter 7 part 2. Even if it there is a lot of snake action in the movie! I have loved the HP series and I am sad to see it come to an end

I adore Cars, so I am just as excited for Cars 2!

  

Mostly, I am excited that I have found a cheap pool near my apartment that I can spend Saturdays at. If I am going to spend my weekends reading textbooks I may as well get some tanning action out of it!!

What are you excited about for the summer?

How is it JUNE?!

Seriously?! HOW!

Ok - technically right now it is still May, but in 1.5 hours it is June.

Wasn't it just freezing cold? (not that I miss it!)

Anyway, class officially started today!

We returned home from a great visit to NC with Matt's family (pics and a post to come once they get posted on FB and I can steal them - with 2 other cameras being handed over at every photo op, I decided to just steal theirs) Did lots of fun things, hiking, tennis, and of course yummy food! Though I never found boiled peanuts :(

Friday is NKOTBSB! I may have started our 8 hour trip to NC blasting the CD. YUP!!

My good friend is getting married in 2 weeks!

Lots of fun things on the books.

Mostly work, homework, and working out (I guess my life is just WORK!)

Be back soon with sweet NC mountain pics

Going to get my learn on

I am trying not to panic.

My class opened today. It doesn't start until next Tuesday.

I put the girls down for nap, cleaned up lunch and some other things and sat down to read the assigned chapter.

35 mins later I woke up.

This can't be a good way to start.

Someone please tell me it will be ok and I will somehow not sleep every time I need to read one of the 3-4 chapters due that week.

And now I think I hear thumping upstairs (meaning there is an awake little girl) nap time is over any second.

I can do this. I can do this. I can.

What’s new?

I have a lot to report…. lets see…

I spend $330 on books. 3 books. 3 USED books.

Its bull crap.

In my next life (ok I don’t really believe in that, but if I did) I am coming back as a college textbooks retailer and I will make bank stealing from poor college students and their parents.

 

School is starting in 2 weeks 6 days. I leave in 2 weeks for NC. I start class the day after we get back.

I want my life organized and clean before then so I have one less thing to stress me out.

When I get stressed I make lists…. this is what nap time today got me

That would be a cleaning schedule, a cleaning calendar so Matt can help me. If we do 1-3 things a day it seems much more manageable than a whole day cleaning.

Also, I don’t really care too much about cleaning. I don’t want to live in filth, but I don’t care to spend all my time cleaning.  Sorry mom.

 

Basically, get my crap in order so after NC my place is clean and I can focus on school.

I have been slowly scanning old pictures from my baby albums. The 3 white ones are mine, the blue one is my brother’s (he has another one at my parents, I will get it when I finish those)

I have been posting them on FB- its so fun to see my family in the 80s.

Somehow the SD reader on my computer broke… this makes blogging even harder. I have to put them on matt’s computer and then send them to myself and then save them here. So annoying. Seriously, I am already a slacking blogger, now I have 3-5 extra steps to blog. LAME

I totally ran around my apartment with my cell phone to get pics for this post.

That’s all for now, off to check another box off my list :D

Still Processing

As the news unfolded last night I went through a lot of different emotions.

First, I was panicked. They interrupted tv at 10:20pm on a Sunday night to tell us that the President has something important to say concerning our national security. I immediately start thinking there is a threat, and got really scared because I live so close to DC.

Then as we waited for the official word, the news outlets started breaking the story that Osama had be killed.

So that's good right? He can't hurt us anymore. (Even though he isn't the only person out there that hates America)

Then I watch the people celebrating. That's when I started to get really confused.

Yes, this is huge for America. The person who caused so much pain and death to innocent people has now been brought to justice. But throwing a huge party in front of the White House? It just seemed to me to be something that they would do and something they did do on 9/11.

I battled with it all day today (and honestly all night as I never really settled into a good night sleep from all of the events of the night)

Then tonight I saw someone's Facebook status with this quote:

‎"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the in the death of one, not even an enemy" - Martin Luther King Jr

And there we have it. Exactly my feelings, put so beautifully from a person who only dreamed of peace.

So tonight I decide that I will be thankful for all of those who on a daily basis make sure that we are safe in America. For those people who spent almost 10 years never giving up hope that they will find the person who caused so much pain around the world. I am thankful for those Navy Seals who acted so bravely and took care of a huge threat on our national security. I am thankful for a President who makes hard decisions on a daily basis. I am thankful that I am free and safe. We can't bring back the the brave people that lost their lives. We can only remember that they gave their lives for protecting our way of life. And for that God Bless them.


I don't know, I am still figuring it out. Of course I am not at all , in anyway supporting the actions of Osama and his Al Qaida supporters.
