Happies & Crappies

The Vintage Modern Wife: Happies and Crappies Link Up
A new link-up for me, I'm actually excited. I know I've been doing way too many link-ups, but I try and make them as personal as possible. I'll be back in action shortly, I swear.

HAPPIES

1. Having people who remind me that I should live my life the way I want and not be concerned with offending others. Yes, this may be mainly related to blogging. I received a few e-mails and comments about my last post that made me grateful that I have readers who may not agree with everything I say or do, but they enjoy our differences as much as our similarities.

2. I have the entire day off! It's my first day this week that I won't have to drive 30+ minutes to school. I also don't work. Yes, I have a lot to get done, but I have all day to get things done and to be able to do them on my time.

3. I'm starting to feel more happy, with myself and just in general. The past few months I've allowed the negative to take over and ruin anything positive. I'm realizing that I have to do what makes me happy. I deserve to be happy. There are times that it's perfectly okay to be selfish. I put other's happiness before my own many times. I'm 21 years old, I should be completely selfish. Selfish in a way that I'm going to do whatever I need to do in order to have the life that I want. I will never be selfish in a way that would make others unhappy. I will always be willing to go out of my way for other people, but I also need to go out of my way for my own happiness. 

4. My mom bought me a new pillow that is some kind of cooling pillow. No clue how that's possible, but it's pretty fabulous!

5. I started working out again. Now I just need to stick with it.

6. The weather here has been nice enough that I can wear shorts and not be completely freezing. I'd be really happy with 80 degree weather year round. However, I can't move to Florida because there's too many snakes. 

7. I bought new electric hookahs that taste AMAZING. I also bought a new IPA I havn't tried which got awesome reviews!

CRAPPIES

1. I was happy that yet another Victoria's Secret package came in.. a new swim suit, other goodies.. however, I was very bummed that the bronzing shimmer crap I bought wasn't shipped and instead I received some kind of "beach hair" crap. I only use salon products so now I have to send it back and wait for what I ordered.

2. My allergies have been absolutely awful. I'm waiting for my allergy medicine to kick in. My ears, throat and eyes have been killing me. 

3. I need to limit my beer drinking. But vodka and whiskey don't have that same amazing flavor as an IPA full of hops. And I can't choke down crappy light beer.

4. Being a female can suck. Hormones can make you absolutely crazy. We have to deal with our uterus either holding a baby or practically self destructing because it's not holding a baby. I could do without a uterus. Which is of course the reason I'm lucky enough to be stuck with a retroverted one.. 

5. I'm terrified of the dark, if I'm alone. I feel like I could beat anyone up those 18 stairs after turning all the lights off downstairs.

    I love being alone but I hate being alone in my house after dark. I always think stuff like your #5 :)

    I think that its good that you can stay true to yourself sweet girl & right what you feel is best for you & not others! Some will never be happy & that is ok let them be miserable but always remember this is your blog & not theirs! If they do not like it they can just unfollow you!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS..

Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...
