90's Party

2010-04-26T20:12:00.005-06:00

Last weekend was one of my best friends B-day party. He decided to have a costume party, inspired by the 90's. The hardest part was fluffing my bangs. Loved it. Totes. Here's the pics.

i look like i did in 1st grade. todd said i looked like the old Chelsea. amber said i looked like i did in their wedding pics. and the kids all made fun of me and didn't get it. what's not to get? we looked good back then, gosh.

felt food

2010-03-02T15:50:00.002-07:00

What is with the felt food craft craze? I don't get why you would want felt food when you could have the real thing.

Is it for little kids to play with? Or to decorate.

I really don't get it. I admit it is cute though.

Playing with your food!

guh

2010-03-01T12:35:00.001-07:00

why is it always so tricky to find Easter candy corn? Seriously, Brach's why do you tease me like this? I can't find it anywhere, but it's worth the hunt. totally.

rain.

2010-02-27T23:58:00.000-07:00

The rain in AZ is for real. It doesn't joke around. AT ALL!

Boots.

2010-02-27T23:44:00.004-07:00

my feet hurt. i shouldn't wear boots to work, no matter how cute they are.

Speaking of work, it's going great! I love it actually. Most days I work very early, like 5am. So the night before I have to go to bed super early. It's really hard to do that. It's like there is this silent countdown in my head, telling me if I don't fall asleep now, I'll only get x amount of hours of sleep. On and on it goes in my head. It's totally frustrating.

The great thing about working so early is that I get off in the early afternoon. I'm trying to teach my body to power through and not nap, but lets get real, I get kinda grouchy.

Work is a bit dangerous as well, because I want to buy everything.

My Perspective

2010-02-16T21:38:00.005-07:00

Yesterday I started my job. I was in the back the entire day doing reading and paperwork until the last 20 minutes when I got to go out on the floor. In that 20 minutes I saw so many weird people and situations. People are weird, myself included.

Anyway later that night I was telling a friend about how the first day went. I told him how excited I was because in just 20 minutes I had seen so many weird, happy, mean, cool, crazy people, and if I could see that in just 20 minutes imagine what I could see during an entire day! (I'm really being sincere) Anyway, he responded by telling me he really liked and appreciated my attitude and perspective about it. And it wasn't until then that I realized I could have thought "what a crappy day in just 20 minutes I had to deal with a bunch of crazy customers." But I didn't!

So why post this? Because our attitude and perspective about things is so important! It really can change everything about our day and our lives.

Life is good, my mind is made up about it.

Update!

2010-01-11T23:26:00.007-07:00

Yes, I know it has been so long. I missed you too.

Christmas was so amazing! I had such a fun time with my family. I love how wonderful, supportive and fun my family is. 2009 was definitely the hardest year of my life and my family helped me through it, every step of the way. I'm so excited for this year, because it has to be better. Seriously...!

Speaking of better things, I moved to Arizona!! Yup, I moved in with Todd, Amber and all their kids. They're so kind and took me in and I am really loving it. My new ward is so amazing, everyone I meet is so "normal" , I already feel a part of everything, and the weather is nothing to complain about either. I finally feel like things are moving in the right direction and that my life is only going to get better.

During this time I have also realized how grateful I am for my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ. When everything was a mess, I gave all my burdens to the Lord and he helped me get over them and push through. I feel so blessed. He lessened the pain of so many things and I came out the other end of everything with a bright view for the future.

Now, onto getting a J-O-B! I say it's high time I had one for goodness sakes.

Ta-ta for now. Hope you're well, wherever you are these days.

Love Chels

Wednesday

2009-11-16T20:06:00.002-07:00

Wednesday is the big day! I start my job. I'm excited and not excited. That's all.

I think I may have found my new favorite band.

2009-11-13T12:44:00.001-07:00

OH YEAH!

2009-11-12T19:28:00.003-07:00

So 1 year to the day, I got an actual job. Not like a Shopko job, but a really good one! Finally! I am now the Director of Business Development for a local company. I start in a week and I am so excited for the new experience and definite challenge that I know it will be. I'm also so excited to be more independent again with my soon to have financial freedom. PLus it's a block from my apartment, how convenient? Oh, and yes I am going to keep the Shopko job too and work nights and weekends. I actually really enjoy it there.

Anyway, that's the big news! Booya booya!

Toilet 2

2009-11-12T01:11:00.001-07:00

To all the concerned ones out there, my phone is back in the living. A bag of rice is just the trick for those things. woot woot.

My Version

2009-11-12T00:43:00.008-07:00

I have been following a blog for the last several months for the, Bijou Market, a great site that features local artists, designers, crafters and creatives galore. Well, a couple times a year, they actually have the market, where those who were featured, plus many more, sell there products. I had been anxiously awaiting this market for many months and it finally arrived last weekend. Alyssa and I went and found so many cute things. So many cute things that I can make all by myself. So I didn't buy a thing, instead i went home and got to work. My favorite thing from the market were the bib necklaces. This one in particular:

(It's from this great site, where you can find even more cute things.)

Well, here is my version!

I pretty much love it. I opted for a different sized bow. That's the great thing about making things yourself, you get them just how you want them. I still have so many more things to make! Gotta get workin!

Toilets

2009-11-09T19:13:00.003-07:00

I dropped my phone in the toilet today. It's in a bag of rice, being resuscitated. It's still touch and go.

Golly.

Moments

2009-11-09T18:49:00.002-07:00

My great friend Erin, passed this on to me today, via her new blog. It was so amazing and emotional for me, so I thought I would pass it on again.

Check out William Hoffman's site too.

I got a job... for now.

2009-10-31T01:33:00.003-06:00

Yes, it's true. After almost a year, I finally landed myself a job. Now, before you get too excited let me tell you, it's a seasonal job and it's part-time and It's at Shopko. Not my dream come true for my career, but it's a job and I am not picky right now. I am excited to have somewhere to go and something to do! I start this on Monday. Wahoo!

I never know what to title these things, so here.

2009-10-25T15:55:00.012-06:00

Things are mostly the same here. I had 2 job interviews last week. I try not to feel too optimistic about them, but I do feel like they went better then those in the past. I know that I will get a job soon. I'm trying to use the power of positive thinking. As long as I keep having positive thoughts about getting a job, it's gonna happen.

I also want to thank my family for all their support, specially my parents. They are doing a lot for me, and I seriously don't know what I would do without them. I also want to thanks Alyssa and Taylor for taking me in and helping me so much. I really appreciate and love everyone.

In the meantime, I try to keep busy during the day. A few days a week, I get up early and head to the Provo City Library. I apply for jobs, read my scriptures, and read books about interview techniques and getting out of slumps. So far, it's been really helpful for me. I do better when I am productive and busy. So that is my daily goal.

Yesterday, I didn't have much to do, so I baked lots and lots of cookies. Alyssa took some pics of me making them and the finished product, as you can see.

Next, I am working on my Halloween costume. I bought a dress at Savers (thrift store) and I am making it into something. I won't tell yet, but I will post pics on Halloween. I am pretty excited for a holiday! It will be fun to do something exciting!

I hope everyone is doing well! Love ya! Chels

Happy Birthday Brooke! I love you. You're the best older sister I could have! Thanks for all you do! Have a Happy Day!

I'm so not complaining, but...

2009-08-25T02:30:00.005-06:00

I CAN'T SLEEP. Ever!

100 sheep, 99 sheep, 98 sheep, ... on and on.
It's not working.

Unisom... why have you stopped working my friend?
I loved you so.

Legs... why do you feel like your crawling inside yourself?
It makes it hard to sleep.

BTW: night time tv is not that great.
Good thing I have some late nite friends to chat with.

Today was a good day:)

2009-08-17T23:06:00.003-06:00

That's it. Nothing special really happened, but I was happy and confident for the first time in a long time. It felt great!

Goodnite.

Saw it!!! Time Traveler's Wife was way good. It was a bit different from the book, but that was to be expected. Jake and I both cried through the entire thing. Completely amazing! Go see it and take tissues with you :)

Goodnight

Dear Orkin Man,

2009-08-14T23:27:00.004-06:00

While I know you are trying to appeal to the mass population through humor, I do not appreciate or care for the GIANT Termites in your recent commercials. They creep me out and totally scare me. Although, by me writing this I remembered the Orkin name and found your commercial online. Job well done Orkin Man.

Sincerely,
Chelsea L. Earnest

2009-08-14T22:38:00.004-06:00

I am so excited The Time Traveler's Wife came out today! I think I will go see it tomorrow. I have been waiting literally years for it to be released, checking imdb.com weekly for updates! And now it's finally here!! It is my favorite book ever. I hope the movie does the book some justice.

PS. I also heard there will be a Bridget Jones' Diary 3. At least now I will have a new movie to check up on. :)

Goodnite.

Growth Spurt.

2009-07-29T23:20:00.007-06:00

I have been worrying about a lot of things lately. Things that mostly I can't do much about. I can however stop worrying about what to write on my blog and just write something. I am not really sure what to say though. I guess here is the down-low.

I'm back in Utah after being in California and Oregon for a combined 5 weeks! I had an awesome time and loved being with my family. Truly great memories were made.

Since being in Utah I spent many days/hours with my mom at the hospital with G'ma. Thankfully Grandma has recovered well and is now recuperating at home. I am glad my mom is here in Utah for a couple weeks. I wish she could always be here:) I broke up with my boyfriend Jake last week. Something that was hard to do, but something I needed to do. Now I am having fun spending time with other people, like my roommate Morgan (she is very entertaining to me, because she has such funny things to say...check out her blog sygnet.), and Alyssa and Taylor (and ADA). Alyssa is working on her special project, that I am supposed to be working on too, but I am slacking hard core in that department.

Other than that I spend my days applying for jobs. I think I've applied for over a hundred. Unfortunately I haven't heard from any of them. So if anyone has some great ideas of where I should work, LET ME KNOW!

Lately I have spent a lot of time thinking about how my life is changing so much, and I didn't even mean for it to happen. It's a forced change, but I might as well be happy about it. Change is hard and uncomfortable, but change helps people grow, so I guess I am on a big growth spurt right now.

Goodnight.

Happy Father's Day

Cats

2009-05-23T03:08:00.004-06:00

Ya know those emails people send you with all the 'cute cats' with cute expressions or with them doing something cute? Ya know the ones that are supposed to suddenly brighten your day? Well I hate those. Seriously who likes these? They are totally set up. People add props to make them look like they're drinking or set them on a record player so they spin around and around. Obviously they're stupid enough animals to let humans do this to them.

Whenever I see an email about cats... DELETE.

Well it turns out some people, even highly intelligent people, actually like these. Some people will ooo and awwwwe about them. Some people will stay up all night looking at videos of cats doing 'cute things' on youtube as they laugh and giggle at how freaking cute the cats are.

This is happening to me right now. There are people here doing this. I sat quietly for a bit... but then couldn't resist telling them the joke my dad told me once. It was along the lines of dropping a cat off the roof and being happy about it. Ya, so they didn't think it was so funny. I mean I was little too nervous to actually look at their faces when I said the punchline, but I was smiling inside. I was full of my cat hate pride. I will never understand these people, nor do I ever want to.

Hope you're having a great day! If not maybe these pictures can brighten your day!

Yes, the cats really are gangsters, hugged each other, watched tv and drank beer, and sat in cups. That's just what cats do... duh.

I didn't see Elvis?

2009-05-20T12:13:00.005-06:00

Last weekend Jake and I went with my roommate, Morgan, and her boyfriend Jake (yes it gets confusing) to Las Vegas. We all needed a few days away from Orem. We had a fun time too, but I never saw Elvis, which is sorta making me sad right now.

Us checking in at Planet Hollywood.

Morgan got her high heel stuck in a crack
(she wears high heels everywhere, even on vacation)

Then we checked out Freemont street, at Moms suggestion, and it was fun!

Off to Paris after that, lol.

We hit up the M&M store.

3-D movie.

And lastly for my benifit alone, the Coca-Cola Store.
It's how I envision heaven will be.

To you

2009-05-10T19:46:00.002-06:00

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there and especially to mine. Love you :)

My First Project

2009-05-05T23:33:00.003-06:00

Since getting my sewing machine for my birthday, I am starting to figure things out. My first project I attempted was an apron. It went surprisingly well. I gave it to my great friend Erin, who visited last week. (don't look closely, the lines are jagged :))

Thank you

2009-05-05T23:09:00.006-06:00

To Annee:

Thank you for the beautiful apron you sent for my birthday! I got it awhile back and I love it! I love the colors and the material and everything about it. Thanks so much! You're so sweet :)

Love Chelsea

It's NOT Time

2009-04-30T17:04:00.001-06:00

Well, I was wrong. After a night of vomiting, I have quit. I think its a once in a lifetime thing for me. Everything I drank made me gag (I'm sure you wanted to know that). But if you are interested in doing it, don't let this attempt discourage you. The first time I did it was so awesome and I didn't have any problems.

It's Time

2009-04-28T14:04:00.004-06:00

As many of you know, last May I did a detox cleanse. Well, it's that time again. The Master Cleanse. Today is day 1 of 10. So far so good :)

Square?

2009-04-22T00:45:00.004-06:00

Thanks to Facebook, I now know what Jesus thinks about me. Oh yes! It's true! I simply answered 7 basic questions and got my results: Jesus thinks you're a SQUARE. Huh? I guess going to church and doing the right thing = square. Oh well I will take it. Seriously though people, what would we do without Facebook? How would Jesus ever talk to us? I am counting my blessings :)

I also found out I'm Mary Magdalene and King David. Thanks again Mark Zuckerberg.

I keep my promises, especially on my birthday.

2009-04-20T13:30:00.006-06:00

This weekend was the seriously the best. It being my birthday weekend, anything I wanted, happened. Lol…. Well sort of.

Friday afternoon, Alyssa, Ada, and I went to SLC. We stopped by Anthropologie, where Alyssa bought me 8 bowls I’ve been wanting, one in every color. See…. They're super cute and I can now stop running out of bowls in my apartment.

Friday night, started 3 nights of whatever I wanted! Well, since I was picking dinner Saturday, I told Jake to pick dinner, so after Olive Garden, we went to my pick of a movie. I had contemplated this quite a bit. Jake said, “pick something you know I wouldn’t go to if it weren’t your birthday, because after this weekend I won’t.” So I really had only one choice, Hannah Montana the Movie. I know it seems mean to put a boy through that, but I couldn’t help myself, I really wanted to see it. And come on, when else was I going to get him to take me to that? Seriously? So after he shamefully asked for 2 tickets to Hannah Montana (and yes the ticket girl totally laughed at him) we went. 2 words: So GOOD! Yes people, I’m serious. This movie made me laugh and cry. It has great music and you leave just feeling happy. Jake even admitted that he loved it! It is so worth $8.50! I want to see it 100 more times.

Saturday involved downloading the Hannah Montana Movie soundtrack and listening to it on repeat for several hours. Yes, I know its country, but the movie makes it acceptable…or GREAT! Later on that day, Jake took me to Color Me Mine. It’s a pottery store where you paint pottery and then they fire it. I have wanted to go there for some time, so I was really excited. Unfortunately the Earnest perfection gene took over, so it took me 2 ½ hours to paint a bowl. This meant the restaurant I had picked, Thai Ruby, was closed for dinner. Bummer, but it was worth it to get my bowl perfect. Anyway dinner was fun and good and that was that. Great birthday eve!

Sunday my actual birthday I went to church, Jake and I had lunch, and then we had the awesome cake Morgan made me. I opened my presents! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa, Jann and Alan, and Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad gave me a gift certificate for a sewing machine, which I already went and picked up. Guess what I am doing the rest of the day? Ha. Sunday night, Morgan and I went to Salt Lake and saw Wicked at the Capital Theater! That was probably the best part of my birthday. The show was so amazing. The acting and singing was unbelievable too. I was quite in my element.

Well that was my awesome weekend! Thanks to everyone for the Birthday messages!

I Promise

2009-04-19T01:39:00.001-06:00

I promise to update my blog by Monday, and a promise is a promise.

Weekend

2009-03-23T14:30:00.007-06:00

This weekend I went to Moab with some friends. Rhiannon ran a half marathon and later that day her boyfriend, Matt, proposed! It was so fun. We went camping and hiked a ton at Arches National Park, which is so gorgeous!! It was a great break, especially in the warm sun!
Here are some pix.

Headbands

2009-03-19T17:20:00.004-06:00

When I was in California, I started making some felt headbands. I started with some easier ones, and now I'm doing some that require a bit more time and work. I really enjoy making them and when I wear them, I get lots of compliments. Anyhow I thought I would show some off... they're definitely not that impressive, but they're a great way to pass some boring time.

I am in California.

2009-02-18T11:49:00.006-07:00

I drove to California on Sunday to stay with Brooke and her family for a little while. We're already having fun. Yesturday Brooke helped me sew my first skirt. I will post a picture when it's complete. And today were going shopping in Santa Barbara! Plus it is 100x warmer here, then in Utah! Here is a photo of new baby Jack and me.

Oh and here is Brooke and me at Home Town Buffet :(

Valentines Gift

2009-02-17T13:01:00.003-07:00

I made this cute box and cupcakes for Valentines Day. I thought they were so cute.

I got the idea from the book, Hello Cupcake. I think it turned out pretty good!

Valentines Dance

2009-02-13T13:51:00.009-07:00

Last night my ward had a Semi-Formal Valentines Day Dance. They set up everyone with someone from the ward, so it was way fun. They served us dinner, took 'prom pictures', and taught us some dance moves by these swing dancers. We had a really fun time! Here are some photos!

Boot Camp Continues

2009-02-09T13:43:00.004-07:00

So, last week we did it. Everyday we worked out and did everything we planned on, and somehow..... I gained 1 pound. hmmmm. Well I am mixing this up! Now I will be working out 2 times a day plus strength training, and moderating my diet much more. It is going to be hard, but worth it.

Boot Camp

2009-02-03T04:44:00.004-07:00

My roommate Morgan and I are on a huge adventure. It's formally named, "Morgan and Chelsea's Weight Loss Adventures!" (I wanted to name it, "plan", but Morgan said we had to get excited about it, and the first step was with the name.) Anyway, every Sunday (we started yesterday) we plan what we're going to do, like what classes we're going to at Gold's. Today we had planned to go to Kickboxing, which I have done lots and really enjoy. Well, what we saw was more than we ever expected. We walked into a completely packed room, full of very very fit men and woman wearing punching gloves ( I guess that's what you would call them), with a huge punching bag next to each of them. Needless to say we were totally out of our element, completely intimidated and lacking the seemingly necessary punching gloves. We slowly backed out of the room, and did an hour of cardio on our own. We decided we will go to the class another time, but when we could get there early and chat with the instructor (I think we're going Saturday.)

After the hour of cardio, Morgan dragged me over to work on strength training. We almost died. Right in the middle of the workout, Morgan turns to me and says, 'Doesn't this make you feel so empowering?".... I replied, "Maybe after a few days, right now I feel like I am dying." But we did it, one day down and so many more to go. We're working out 1.5-2 hours a day Monday-Saturday. Boot camp is ON!!

P.S. I am already sore.

I am a pirate.

2009-01-30T14:29:00.007-07:00

Hey, long time no see. Sorry for the delay in posting, but my life isn't blog-worthy lately. Until yesterday when I scratched my cornea, (self-diagnosed). It hurt so bad! It hurt when it was open and when it was shut, but better shut. So after a long day of pain, I finally did what i had to do. See:

It just felt so much better shut than open, and all the Google articles i read regarding my condition (I'm not a hypochondriac) said to keep it shut. I got the eye patch first, but it wouldn't hold the eye shut, so tape came next. It hurt all night, but when I woke up this morning, most of the pain was gone. My eye is swollen for sure now, so I look a little funny, but a full recovery is quickly approaching.

P.S. this is not the first (or last) time I was a pirate. (Thanks for the reminder Brooke!)

remodel.

2009-01-22T03:43:00.003-07:00

lots of time on my hands here.

Reality Hits

I am back in Utah now. Christmas was lots of fun in Oregon. It was nice to have one last bit of fun, before the inevitable reality of having to find a job hit. I've been looking. I promise! But I havent found really anything I want. So until I find that job, I am just here, writing this. (lets be honest, the only reason I'm writing this is because I don't want to go to the gym :))

Killer Hill

2008-12-27T19:22:00.001-07:00

Today we all went sledding up in the Ochoco Mountains at Killer Hill. We managed to get out without any serious injuries, although Cameron is in some pain. We sledded, had a campfire, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and sipped hot coco. Here are some pictures and videos.

Christmas Eve.

Tonight we went to Jann and Alan's for a Christmas Eve Party. We had lots of fun and lots of good food. Here are some pictures of our great time.

Oregon

2008-12-24T01:45:00.002-07:00

I'm in Oregon. I will post asap. But let me tell you, there is snow snow snow.......snow to the max.

PS...here is a picture of me and Charlie, that I love!

Tomorrow

2008-12-15T23:16:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow is Harry's birthday. I got him a sweet airbrush tattoo kit. I think I am more excited about it than he will be.

I will let ya all know how that goes.

(ps I got him a boy version, not this pink one.)

Current favorite running tracks through my head:

As usual my love for 80's music lives on.

Love these beats.

Love these lyrics.

Love it.

California here I am.

2008-12-14T22:29:00.001-07:00

Okay. So I have been in Cali awhile now. We have been doing fun things. Everyday type things. And some boring things too. Tonight Harry and I had extreme FUN. Here are the photos to prove. Harry asked for a black eye, but we came up with so much more! There is a video too on Brooke's Blog.

Explaining to Harry what a nipple ring is, was probably the high light of the evening. I am sure Brooke loves me.

Notice the bagging of the shorts.

Harry is so cool :)

My legs can now fall off

2008-11-28T16:31:00.001-07:00

Today being the tradition that it is, meant waking up at 3:55 am, leaving at 4:15 am and arriving at Fred Meyers at 5:00 am! We went straight for the socks..... which we founds lots and lots of. We started out in great moods... SEE!......

But after 2 1/2 hours in 1 store, looking at every single thing possible, it's needless to say, we ended up feeling like this...

After lotzzzzzz of Diet Coke, we were chipper again, no worries. We had so much success and I think Erin loved her first Black Friday (well most of it).

Extended Vacation....

2008-11-21T02:49:00.000-07:00

Well hello there.........

Since I have so much free time on my hands these days, I've decided to make the most of it. So besides getting all my dental work done before my insurance ends, I will be traveling out of Utah for basically the rest of the year. Here is the downlow for all the know its.

Nov. 26 - Dec. 2 = Oregon, for Turkey Day and festivities, (including Mattie and Lauren's BDAY, woot woot.) Also my favorite friend, Erin LC, will be joining from Seattle! We're most excited for Black Friday and devirginifying Erin in that.

Dec. 3 - Dec. 18 = California! I know my favorite place. I'm going most importantly for Maggie's Baptism, her birthday, Harry's birthday, and because I just love visiting everyone! It will most likly = dream come true, in warm weather.

Dec. 19 - Jan 5 (or so) = Oregon again. With a hopeful stop in Seattle for New Years Eve, where shenanigans are sure to occur. Christmas will be a grand affair, I'm quite sure of it.

Unfortunately, I must return to Utah between each and everyone of these trips! I know, sucks to be me. ha. NOT! I'm going on vacation for like a month and a half!

So all you jealous worker people, don't hate me,
It's my rough life. :)

Thanks to Alyssa, for the borrowing of the sweater.

Cape

2008-11-14T16:35:00.001-07:00

With all my newly acquired free time I like to do some online shopping (except not buy, just look). This is #1 on my list.

CAPE: I want this.

Z is for Chelsea?

So a few weeks ago I was strolling through the magazine section in Harmon's and came across Nylon Magazine, one of my favorites. I decided to buy it because Zooey Deschanel was the cover story and I love her band, She and Him. I read through it, looked through all the pictures... and then realized something. I kinda look like her... I started taking a poll. I asked my coworkers and friends, "Who does she look like?" Every response was "YOU!" and then some varying disbelief on how much I resembled her (except for the whole part on how she is ridiculously skinny). Needless to say my new nickname is Zooey.

So take a look...

Also, if you don't know who she is, she was in Elf, Failure to Launch, and look up her band, She and Him.

And thank you to my photographer/roomate, Jessica, for my crazy need for perfection.

It's Tragic Really...

2008-10-09T08:30:00.000-06:00

Yes, I am tragically already bad at blogging. There are many reasons for this:

a) My laptop broke.
b) I'm busy.

...that's pretty much it. LAME...

Lets catch up in BRIEF detail.

1) I went to Oregon. Purposes were multiple but included: Jake coming home from his mission, Andy and Heather's Cowboy Wedding, and not having been home in 10 months.
p.s. at the wedding I saw a black cowboy, which I thought was like an oxymoron, nope... they exist and its sorta really awesome.

2) Jeep is done. Yup, my jeep is done. It isn't dead or anything, but my parents gave me their Toyota Camry, since they just bought a new car. I love the Jeep (or as I call him, Mr. Jeepy), but the Toyota (still unnamed, any suggestions?) is much more efficient in all ways. So, if anyone wants a jeep, let me know.

3) I cook. I'm a cooker. I spend time cooking food. (anyone who knows me well knows this is big, because I love fast-food, especially MC Donald's.)

4) DRAMATICS. My friends and roommates amuse me. Crazy things happen! The latest? A friend found out her divorced boyfriend is actually her married boyfriend. I really cannot elaborate, but his wife called her and it immediately ended. Oh the lives of singles!

5) Project Runway... and others. TV has started again! Well its always been on, but good TV has started. My favorite being Project Runway. Alyssa kindly records it for me every week, since I don't have Bravo. It's so addictive. Other must watches: Gossip Girl, The Hills, 90210, ANTP, and Ugly Betty.

6) Work. I spend most of my time there. It's awesome really.

7) I wrote a song. Well at this point it might be a poem, since there is no music, but it's meant to be a song. Next purchase: guitar. (i can learn!)

8) Fall Fashion. The weather is changing here, its bittersweet. The sweet part you ask? The change in my attire. I get to wear sweaters and boots, and scarves and cute hats now. I do love my fall/winter wardrobe much more than the other, so I'm spending lots of time working that.

9) Dreams... I kept having this same dream over and over for like 3 weeks... it finally ended. It wasn't a scary dream, but I'm glad it's over. My dreams have this weird way of coming true, I hope not this time.

10) I have something planned. It's gonna be awesome. You will find out... soon.

Okay new goal: update weekly.

Peace out!

commin soon....

2008-10-06T13:14:00.001-06:00

i will update this.

The First Post...

2008-09-19T08:00:00.000-06:00

Ok. Here is my deal with this whole experiment. I have considered ‘blogging’ for awhile now, but most of the blogs I see are about spouse/kids…

PROBLEM!!

I don’t have any of those!

RATZ.. or ...not? Lack of spouse/kids cannot equal lack of thought and ability to type on a website. But…what is it that I can blog about? I guess we will find out… but I have a feeling it will consist of exactly what I am currently considering at that time. So as promised to my mother I will try to use correct grammar and look smart, (or maybe just be smart), but fair warning to you all skills in spelling/grammar have been lacked since 1990, so do the best you can to understand me.

Before I ventured into this I did a little research and I came across Wikipedia's "Consequences of Blogging," which include: Defamation or Liability, Employment, Political Danger, Personal Safety and Therapeutic Benefits. So throughout this blog I will obtain from lying, telling you who my employer is (obviously not RIMROCK CONSTRUCTION), stating how much I hate some politicians, and giving you too much information, i.e... my name, age, current town (all can be found on my profile). And in exchange for withholding that information I will be therapeutically benefited! I can't wait for that to start. Good thing I did my research!

A Little Info:

THE TITLE

The naming process took quite a long time for me. But in the end my love of anything French (French toast, French fries) won out and I chose Le Classique (aka The Classic), because anything that is classic I happen to love, and if my blog is called classic maybe I can become somewhat classic in my own right.

THE SUBTITLE

tattoos. = I WANT ONE! I find them beautiful when done right. The meaning and stories behind them mixed with the beauty makes them so appealing. But don't worry sisters, I will not get one (but if I did, it would be behind my ear).

[long hair]. = something I always wanted and now have. Except I want it to be so much longer. There's something mysterious about long hair and what it says about a women. I want that.

skinny * jeans. = this means more than any of them. To me they represent my journey. Probably silly. It isn't the actual jeans that are the journey, but they are the result of my life's journey to where I am right now, which I am happy with.

So these are my words. They are not important or cool, but none the less here they are. Enjoy.
