A Morning Full of "No Bueno's"

1. The Elevator not working before 8 AM and having to climb six flights of stairs because I have to be at the desk BY 8= no bueno.

2. The fact that those six flights of stairs are OUTSIDE and it is 100 degrees= no bueno.

3. Wearing a skirt that flutters in the wind whilst carrying a purse full of homework, so you shuffle things around so you can remain modest as well balanced= no bueno.

4. Praying that you don't sweat that much so that your hair remains manageable= no bueno.

So far, my day has been "fantastic".... and well, no bueno.

But on the plus side, I now have joined a car pool. At least it won't be as expensive to get here!
And I just realized how incredibly boring my posts have been lately... I will put up some pictures of SOMETHING stat.

A penny for MY thoughts.

Things I saw today that I want.








Materialistic... what a downer.

Anyways, I gave my cat a bath today and I have some brutal battle scratches going right now. Let's just say I have my share of Scoobie Doo band aids on.

Sorry to share sad news.

To sum it up, some teenagers in the UK thought it would funny to beat a dog who had escaped his house and got lost.

What kind of people live in this world these days???

Blast From the Past

And no, I'm not talking about that Brendan Frasier movie.

I'm talking about this!



Side note: If you can't tell, I'm the one in the middle with the dog.







It's funny how much changes from when you're a child. Like being more care free, how genuinely simple life was, wearing hideous clothes and not caring.

But at least I don't have my boy haircut anymore. Sheesh mom, what were you thinking?

Tri-Day Weekend

It's my last day of work finally and I have a three day weekend coming up.

Looking forward to Friday for this:
and...
Saturday, I have this to forward to:And of course Sunday is reserved for the gospel.

Here's to hoping everyone has a fantastic weekend!

A bicycle made for ONE.

I have been juggling the idea of whether I want to purchase a bike or not for the past month or so and after much contemplation (slash trudging through the heat), I have decided it would be in my best interest. Plus, ASU has a way of making you feel less hip for not having one... I see girls riding around in their cute outfits on their cute bikes and I grow envious.

So here are some potentials I have searched for on the interweb.


I really want a cream colored or yellow one...



















Also, I am a big fan of the metal saddlebag baskets.

i.e. the one attached to the back wheel.










Sigh... a girl can dream.

Welcome to PARKING HELL!

I have never run into any parking issues since attending ASU, but today was the day to turn every terrible parking nightmare I have heard into reality. My usual comfy, shaded, EXPENSIVE parking structure at the Fulton Lot greeted me this morning with this simple, but equally disturbing sign "No more tickets!" (I added the exclamation point... the sign was, in fact, NOT yelling at me; it was quite polite to be honest).
In my dismay, I tried to think of all the other places I could possibly sit my car for five hours w/o getting a ticket. Burger King? Zia? The dreaded student lots in China (they're not located there really, but they might as well be)???
I prepped myself for a long hike to work as I relentlessly drove around ASU hoping for a miracle... and then it came. The Rural parking lot was not only still open, they had the first level completely free and it is $4 dollars cheaper than Fulton!
You can imagine my excitement when I parked my sweet, blue baby into a shaded parking spot where it can rest and graze for the five hours I must be away doing the 9 to 5 (except not). I must say, the Rural parking lot is surprisingly comfortable. It may be a trek, but at least it was reliable in my time of need.

The Louis Vuitton of parking structures...

Vs.
The China town knock off, but equally as good Rural parking structure...As you can see, don't judge a book by it's cover... or in my case, parking structures.
