* Pretty Little Endeavors

Source: iwastesomuchtime.com via Amanda on Pinterest Dear Readers, LOOK!! I'm back with my letters that aren't always as cute and nice as most bloggers who link up, but I'm sure if you've been following along you've clearly realized that's just my style. I love writing these letters because it's my chance to call out little things that I typically wouldn't talk about. Dear Noodle Soup, I can't sleep without you. You're so fabulous.  Dear Lucas Blaze, Am I really writing a letter to you?! Everyone has been so worried about us. Considering we "broke up" or whatever else people think. What people don't realize is we completely failed at being best friends. Remember that bouncer at the bar who called us out on it and told us that if we weren't together we eventually would be? I made you go to the Goo Goo Dolls concert and you picked me up and demanded that you meet my parents. We held hands, we kissed.. and t...

Source: businesscardfengshui.com via Amanda on Pinterest Things are getting a little personal around here. Lots of questions. Some anonymous and then some deeper thought questions thanks to Erin ! I always find it strange when I get anonymous questions asked on Tumblr. At a time I had Formspring, but I deleted it because it was pretty much an excuse for my ex & Lucas' ex to start drama. Then I would get questions on Tumblr and at a time you were able to easily track it, which never surprised me when I found out who the person was. I was checking my e-mail and noticed I missed an anonymous question. I go onto Tumblr and to my surprise I had missed 28 questions!  Most of them were asking the same thing as other questions so I'm going to try and cover whatever was asked by picking a few of the actual questions. I just want to remind you that if any of you ever wonder about something I write about feel free to contact me! I have no issue answering anything eve...

I'm pretty sure somewhere back in high school I never received the memo that once you graduate you either go away to a big time partying University, go to cosmetology school, marry someone in the military or have a baby.  I almost went to Michigan State because of an ex. Everyone always assumed I would go into cosmetology because my mom is a hairstylist and a salon owner, but that's probably the only career that my mom didn't want me to go into. I've never wanted to be a cosmetologist. My mom is fabulous at what she does, but it takes a lot of work to get to where she's at. I wasn't interested in the whole marriage right after high school thing. And I'm way to selfish to have a baby anytime soon. But don't worry, I have a plan. When I Grow Up.... I will call this home.

It was just recently that I decided to add Boston to my list of cities I want to visit. It seemed as if this past weekend everyone was talking about wanting to go to the marathon, running in it or supporting a friend who was running. While in class on Monday I was checking Facebook and noticed status after status all about Boston. I googled it to see what everyone was talking about and instantly I felt sick to my stomach. This time last year LBZ and I flew to Nashville for the Country Music Marathon. We ended up over sleeping by about 30 minutes and never ran it. I was really upset that we weren't going to be a part of it, but once we made it to Broadway to support all the runners I instantly felt overwhelmed with happiness. The environment at a marathon is so positive and motivating.  My mind instantly took me back to Nashville as I read the first article on the Boston Marathon. I thought about what it felt like to stand in a huge crowd, in the streets of Nashvi...

Source: i762.photobucket.com via Amanda on Pinterest Just a quick warning that this post may get a little longer than I planned. But, it needs to be said. Lately, I've been dealing with a lot of personal things that have ruined my motivation for blogging. Then there was so much drama in the blog world. I honestly felt like I was done with the whole blogging thing. The past month or two I feel like I can't win. I feel that if something could go wrong, it will. I haven't been happy lately. I couldn't even turn to writing because I didn't want to admit that I've been having a really hard time with pretty much everything. I've been negative, I've been a bitch, I've been emotional. I've been a hot mess. Source: tenth0usand.tumblr.com via Amanda on Pinterest I'm 21 years old and honestly, sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Sometimes I feel like I'm not really living my life the way most 21 year olds live. I don'...

I'm pretty excited to share my blog today with Kristin. She's a wife and a mom with a passion for writing.  You can follow her on twitter @InstaMommy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many people that have an iPhone have a case for it. Let’s face it – iPhones, as well as other smart phones, are very expensive. Have a case for an iPhone just makes sense. However, there is a surprisingly large group of iPhone users that do not use an iPhone case. One of the biggest reasons? According to this iPhone infographic , they can’t find an iPhone case they really like. One way to solve that issue is to make your own customized iPhone case. You can put just about anything on your iPhone case. Photos of you with your friends, a funny saying, or your favorite television show. There are plenty of ways to show your personality as well as have some fun creating the perfect personalized iPhone case.  Leverage some of the popul...

What a weekend. This was the weekend that I forced myself to go out as much as possible so I would have a good time and not be a miserable hot mess. I may or may not have ended up being a hot mess.. but, regardless I had the good time that I needed. Friday I had to be at my work around 8am to meet everyone for the party bus that we were taking downtown for opening day. Around 8:20am I had my first drink of the day. Around 9am we all got on the party bus. The bus was awesome. It had a huge bar, flat screens and a fireplace.  We arrive downtown after consuming a few drinks on the way there. We ended up going to a few bars and other tailgate parties and just kept drinking all day long. Good thing that it was sunny enough to wear sunglasses because I may or may not have at one point started crying after being faced with the annoying crap I've been dealing with lately. Regardless of tears shed I still had a good time. ...

Monday officially feels like Monday. Spring classes have started. I didn't have to wake up early.. but, I did have a 4 hour Kinesiology lecture. 1pm-5pm. Not so much fun. However, I do really think I'll enjoy learning this material. I guess I should give you all a little weekend recap, right? After being a hot mess all week.. I will let you all know that I was happy most of this weekend. I'm still working on it. One day I'll get the balls to blog about what I've been dealing with. Friday. I got my hair done and a bunch of other stuff. LBZ and I went out for dinner and a beer. Then we went to the party store to pick up some more beer. Then I sat on my computer while his dad and him yelled at the TV.. AKA watched the Michigan State game. The rest of the night was relaxing and really great. Saturday. I slept in and then went shopping. I had planned on buying an outfit for Easter, but I left with 2 shirts, 2 pairs of skinny jeans and...
