It's me, Charity

1. Have I mentioned lately how much I 2. I have revived Summer Friday Movie nights! Tonight its "The Backup Plan". I know it isn't an oscar worthy movie but hey, I love cheesy!! 3. This is my last weekend at my apt for like 3 weeks! Crazy! Then I'll be back for one weekend and then jetting off to North Carolina to see my Caca!! CAN'T WAIT!! 4. Speaking of, I am supremely jealous! My two bestie's will be hanging out tomorrow night and I am stuck here in Indiana! :( Caca is in FL for a wedding and it turns out she's an hour away from Kim so they are spending the night at Kim's tomorrow night and having a fun little time. So Sad I won't be with them! They had better take GOOD PICS!! 5. Speaking of pics my camera is seriously struggling. I'm hoping I can find a replacement on Ebay that is like my broken camera because this new dude isn't working that great. The color is a tad weird. 6. I would just like to say that my burnt thumb from crafting ...

So last night I had alot of time of my hands so I decided to take a walk on the wild side and straighten my hair! I was actually really wanting to cut my hair yesterday its hit the spot on my neck that drives me crazy and i have it up in a pony tail by 2pm at the latest everyday. But after I saw how long its gotten straight I have been strengthened to KEEP GROWING!! I really don't recognize myself when i look in the mirror or look at these pics. Its super weird! I guess I'm just so used to seeing myself with my curly 'fro! I did get alot of compliments and double takes today so that was cool! I think it might stick around for one more day if it isn't too icky.

We have some new additions to the family! These two precious little calves came home to the farm this week! Aren't they just ADORABLE??!??!?!? I just want to pet their little heads! They are so tiny we have to bottle feed them. Well, by We I mean my family at the farm, i lucked out being an hour away! but I look forward to feeding them over labor day! its so fun to feed a calf a bottle! and very entertaining! I could literally just die from the cuteness! Aren't they just so precious???!! I love calves they are so cute and tiny and wobbly and alot cleaner than older cows. Well, ok not so much when they are born, they are a gross mess then, but after they get cleaned up they just look so clean and fresh and NEW!! I wish I could see them walk on their little wobbly legs. Watching calves walk is so entertaining and cute!!!!! Precious is not too sure what to think of the calves. I think she's alittle ticked off. My Grams sent me these pics and her caption for Precious was -O...

My faithful three girls sported Pink Weds attire even though they were in scrubs! Such dedication! I love it!! Here we have Unnamed student #789078907 aka Denise :) Sporting her Festive flower clip! She should be wearing her "bling blings" in her ears that I gave her but she lost them!! Bad girl!! We've got to work on that! Kathy didn't get the pink flower memo so she sported some pink lipgloss. We gave her some grief over that so she thought she would add some of the decorations on my desk to her scrubs for festivity's sake. Yes, I have pink sparkly butterflies attached to my desk. You know you're jealous! Btw, she is blowing you a kiss here! *muah* And sweet Cari got in on the fun too!! Love my Resp Girls! I love that its spreading around campus! This afternoon a student came in and said she was looking for a Charity, I said thats me and she proceeded to model her pink outfit (head to toe, I was impressed!) and said that someone had ran into her in the b...

These are some of the results of our craft night on Friday!! Sadly I did not get a picture of me and Apes sporting our "Tiara" headbands but here we have the fabulous Missy trying Apes on for size! Everyone needs alittle bit of sparkle with their scrubs. True story. Doesn't she look cute!! And here I am sporting my lighter blue one! by 2:30 my hair was up in a pony tail. Really it was a miracle it lasted that long. I really enjoyed making these, I think every female I know is going to get a headband ala Cherrybear for Christmas :)

Apes and I had a girls movie night/craft night on Saturday!! She brought over some yummy spaghetti which we enjoyed for dinner and then we attempted to watch a chick flick. I say attempted because we made it 10 mins in and she looked at me and said, Do you want to go get ice cream? I replied, and ditch this horrible movie? um, YES!! I had a clue when there weren't any previews on the DVD that might be a bad sign. Indeed it was!! So we went to DQ and got some ice cream and sat outside and talked for about two hours untill it got dark. It was SO relaxing!! It was a beautiful evening with a perfect breeze, ice cream and good friends, really what more can you want? Finally around 9 pm we came back to my place and got our craft on!! Apes took a plain picture frame she had and added beads, rhinestones and a heart with ribbon to accentuate her beautiful bridal shot!! SO pretty! While I made the most sparkly headbands you can ever imagine!! I made a light blue one for me and a dark blue on...

This picture totally cracks me up! Its SO me and Em!! hahaha.. Doesn't she look fabulous?! Seriously! 7 mos preggo and totally hottie pattottie!! The quilt my Mom made for little Madelyn Faith!! So pretty!! Emboz and her Mini Me, the Big Sister Bethanne! I can't wait to see if Madi looks and acts like Bethy. If she does I'm going to be highly amused! Bethanne is adorable and SO stinkin funny!! They did the twine game and tried to guess her waist. It was rather amusing. :) I had a great time at her shower!! I wasn't sure what to expect because its been quite some time since I've been to a baby shower but it was seriously SO FUN!! I got to sit with Em and her family before the presents and we talked and cracked up and were our loud nefarious selves! The funniest part was when she was sitting across the table from me trying to help me with the word puzzle we were doing. People were accusing us of cheating. Yeah, we had 5 words. And only 2 were actually on the list. We ...

So Amy has something wrong with her head (Which we've always known!) so she had to sport an EKG thingy on her noggin for several days this week. She sent me this cell pic and i laughed for a minute straight. She looks like a pissed off female version of Eminem. I actually got a gold tooth at the dentist yesterday. I'm pretty sure between the two of us we could make quite a successful rap duo. A career move to think about for sure. I shared this with Apes today and awhile later as I was working away and bopping along to Vanilla Ice on Pandora she suddenly busts out laughing and asked me if I was beginning to work on my raps for my new career. Turns out Notorious B.I.G was playing and she found it rather amusing. :) I informed her that while I may have absolutely no pigment to my skin I still have a little ghetto inside of me.. Word up. yo. Thug 4 life.

1. We successfully made it through non-instructional week! granted the emergency candy stash was taken out several times a day, but minor detail!! 2. I GOT MY CAMERA!!! Haven't figured out how to upload pics yet but again a minor detail! I am back to documenting every aspect of my life! I know, you're thrilled!! Kinda bummed that it doesn't do well taking quick successing pictures but it works and takes decent ones so I will take it!! 3. Tomorrow is a busy day! I have Emboz's baby shower!! And then after that Apes and I are having a girls movie/craft night! YAYS! I have allready reserved an appropriately cheesy chick flick from redbox and am anxiously awaiting glue gun and sparkles in hand!! Have no fears, there will be pictures and posts of it all! :) 4. Today's Flashback Friday was all about the ghetto thuggin. A little Coolio, a little Notorious B.I.G. oh yeah, Vanilla Ice Pandora you never dissapoint me!! 5. I was aghast with shock this week when I found out som...

So I have been a bad blogger and haven't blogged since last week! EEPS!! Sorry!! Since I couldn't come up with anything scintellating and really my brain is fried from work anyway here are some random cell shots from this week. I would have normal pictures but my beloved camera broke over a week ago and my new one hasn't come yet. Its still very sad and tragic and i am barely living day to day without it. :( ANYWAYS Here is my hair after taking it down from the up do Monday. I didn't think it was possible but somehow my hair gets curlier when its up???? I have no clue... I am going to definately look like Simba by the time it reaches the middle of my back.. oy vey.... I am very proud of this!! I FINALLY hung the pictures I got for Christmas!! Yes, last Christmas. Yes, the last Christmas that was 9 months ago. Don't judge. I got out my handy dandy toolbox (no its not pink) and my hammer (no its not pink either) and rustled up some nails and went to town!! I was rathe...

Since it is SO stinkin hot here in Indiana, almost 100 today! I decided to put my hair up today. I just couldn't take it anymore. I love having my hair longer but since its so stinking thick my neck gets really hot!! So I put it up today and I was pleasantly surprised on how festive it looks!! BONUS- it only took 3 mins!! WOOT!!

1. Today is my LAST day ALONE in the office!!! I am sooo excited for Apes to come back this weekend! I miss her so much!! 2. I noticed that anytime I lay down on a pillow I have to lift my hair and fan it out above my head. I absolutely cannot lay down on my hair. It almost hurts!! 3. Flashback Friday always starts with Biz Markie's Just a Friend. I almost ALMOST have all of the words memorized by now! I requested it at Apes wedding (hey she told me to!!) but the sinker of a DJ didn't play it before I left! 4. I made cupcakes last night and cooked a full meal. My poor kitchen looked like it had been through a battle. I think thats one of the reasons i don't like cooking, the whole cleaning up sucks. And since my kitchen counter space is so small. :( Everything ended up super yummy though!! 5. Totally rocking a sleeveless sundress on top of cuffed capri's. I have no idea if its fashionable or not but its danged comfortable. 6. Speaking of clothing I'm trying to figur...

Today I am sporting some of my festive new eye shadow! I think I finally found the perfect shade of brown that can be dressed up or fairly natural! And wow do I have a Jay Leno chin in that picture!! And I finally got some decent hair product that is actually working with the frizz!! I realized this morning that if I didn't have to do my hair I would save so much time in the morning! And I don't even spend that much time on it compared to other girls. But when you add in having to put leave in conditioner on it before you comb so the tangles aren't as bad, combing through the mess, then putting curl mousse and gel cream on it. Not to mention blow drying it juuust right to where its still damp but not dripping and then straightening the bangs and shellacking the whole thing with hairspray. Whew I'm tired just thinking about it! 4 total products used after the shower! Its no wonder i get super hot while I'm getting ready! I am proud to say though even with all tha...

Have I mentioned lately my love of Walgreens? Because I really do love them. Especially when they have Register Rewards and I come away with all of these products and only spend 2.36 out of pocket! Did I mention that I got 8.00 of RR's back with these as well? I would have spent less than a dollar if I hadn't have gotten the chocolate which FYI not very good. I am a Hershey's girl till the end! I am LOVING my Loreal HIP Eyeshadow its really the only shadow that stays well on my weird oily eyelids. Everything else slides off. And yes, that is my flip flopped foot under my glass table. :)

So I miss April. So much that I had to print off a picture of her and put it in her chair. People laughed at me but it really does make me feel ( a little) better!! Three more work days without her!! And yes, I do have the swiffer song of Baby Come Back stuck in my head. I will withold telling you whether I have actually sung it or not.. ;)

Last Friday I met Emboz and the bump for our August Ladies who Lunch! We met at Christos and it was mm mmm yummy! Look how TINY Emboz is!! She is 7 mos preggo!! You totally can't tell from the back, except when she walks :) So cute!! You can't even tell with her sitting down at a booth either! Disgusting! The waitress came by to take our drink orders and asked where the third person was. We're like what third person? and she said she swore there were three of us! I said, well there are if you count the baby in her tummy!! She just looked at me. I tell you no one gets my wit!

I am about to introduce you to something that I found quite intrguing. As we went through Logansport we passed the ZIP THRU. A drive through convenience store! I KNOW! I had never heard of such a thing either!! And look! They had a line!! a line people!!! I was just flabbergasted. Luckily my picture taking did not suffer from my flabbergasted-ness. They have bait! Going fishing? Just pop thru the zip thru and grab yourself some worms! Drive thru! SERIOUSLY! Hungry for some tuna? Maybe you need a little A1 on your steak? Or perhaps you have a craving for Campbells soup with your portable hot pot. The Zip Thru has it all!! The cashier, zipper? Whatever her title is, was wondering why I was taking pictures. And before she found out she was standing with her back to the vehicle taking our orders. I made her turn around. ITS FOR THE BLOG!!!! She asked if we were from out of town. I said yes. She didn't think I got out very much. Which is also true. I wanted to fake an accent and tel...

1. Everyday when I get home and before I go to bed I check my shower to see if there is anyone in it. Yes I'm paranoid, and No i'm not sure how they would sneak past me to get in my shower to hide and kill me after I've been home for hours. 2. I have a nervous tic or maybe just a bad habit, of smoothing back my bangs and re-tucking them behind my ears. I only noticed that this week when I pulled my hair all back and didn't have any bangs. I caught myself trying to smooth them back all day! 3. Hopefully the Pimpmobile is getting fixed tomorrow. Its shaking and coughing so bad right now. Poor baby. :( I was eating lunch in my truck this week and I noticed my hands were shaking. I thought, wow, how did my blood sugar get that low? And then I realized my hands were shaking because the truck was shaking!! 4. I have a soft place in my heart for 50 cent. I may have no skin tone but there is a little ghetto inside of me!! 5. I haven't eaten Pringles in years untill this wee...

After we left the Reception Katie and I headed to McDonalds to change our clothes. We did not get the Frozen Strawberry Lemonade and I was a little sad about that because apparently thats only sold in Michigan right now. :( Sadness. Here we are fixin to get on the road! I think this might be our second best picture! We were really workin it that day!! We passed a John Deere place so of course I had to take a picture for my brother and Dad. Long live JD!! INDIANA!!!! Indiana never looked so good!! OK funny story. Well two actually. As we were getting close to the toll road Katie told me to look at the ticket and see how much it would cost. So I look and find out its 1.60 a reasonable price. But I am immediately SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by the price to go to Portage!! Stinkin 4.70!!! I immediately said HEY!! Thats Highwa.. hahahaah HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!! I got the humor right as it was coming out of my mouth. We laughed for a solid two miles. Possibly more. Tears were coming out of my ey...

We arrived at the Reception and picked a table right by the dance floor and close to the door for prime photo ops!! Sadly we were a tad too close to the doorto get a perfect picture but oh well!! Please note the long crackers- they were HEAVEN. Mr and Mrs!!! I loved her flowers! They put all of them together themselves!! Love this as well, she was SUCH a Princess that day! She literally just floated about in her dress. By this point I was crying. And when I say crying, I mean CRYING. They both looked just so relaxed and happy and were like the only two people in the room. It was beautiful. Especially kind of going through the whole planning process with Apes for the past 8 months and knowing the struggles and everything just seeing them SO HAPPY in that moment really moved me. I would have driven 10 hours to see that look on her face. Funny, I was crying so hard, that Apes Mom had to tell me to pull it together!! She was standing by me taking pictures and she's like you have to...
