Panduh!

I was almost asleep when I rembered this..

I’ll just say that I’m glad its over. I’m ready for the weekend and look forward to a productive coming week. Hopefully stress-free and more signs of my face improving, even if it is small unnoticeable movement.

Happy weekend, all.

My back is feeling much better, and I hope tomorrow I can get back to doing normal things rather than sitting in a chair upright all day. It would be cool.

I don’t really have much to say today and didn’t have a post planned out. So, this is it for today. I’m seventeen days in so far, so can’t ruin it now.

This week was just plain out awful just like the rest of them. I really had high hopes that this week would be great, but it wasn’t. I did not make any progress in trying to conquer my anxiety or depression. I regressed, if anything. I am going to try and not dwell about it and focus on the good things that did happen over the weekend.

On Friday, I was supposed to get my new iPhone, but the place I was supposed to get it from didn’t get nearly enough phones on Friday and I was going to have to wait until next week to get one. I was pretty bummed out, not going to lie. I was going through twitter withdrawls! So, I thought for sure the rest of my weekend was going to be pretty lame because I was going to have to go even longer without a good phone (#firstworldproblems).

Saturday comes by and James asks me if I want to go to Weber’s Cider Mill Farm. Its where they have pumpkins, apples, and all kinds of other farm stuff, I guess. Mostly, it is for kids, but I was interested in getting cider and other edible goodies. So, we drove out there and fought for parking, but we eventually made it to the place. I ended up getting some honey crisp apples (My Fave!), a butternut squash, and some apple cider. Maybe something else, but I don’t remember. I had a good time, but since I am sick, I started to feel bad, so we had to leave after only being there a short while.

Later on, I started feeling better and I wanted to go to the mall to pick up something from Sephora and to browse other stores, etc.  Well, I happened to stumble upon an AT&T store, so I had James go in and ask if they had any white iPhones left. To my surprise, they did, and so I went ahead and got it. Yay, I will be happy about that for awhile until the new & shiny wears off. But hooray for new phone that works properly (so far!)! Just waiting on the case for it, its gonna have a panda bear on it.

Hope anyone that reads this had a good weekend, too. [=

I’ve been kinda preoccupied with a lot of different things over the past month. I guess? Not really. Just lazy.

I celebrated my 27th birthday last weekend with my parents & James. My parents drove up from SC to hang out with me and to go to NYC that following Saturday. My actual birthday was fine. We went to Annapolis to go to one of my favorite restaurants, which was fine and dandy. However, on Saturday, I personally got up at 3:30am and we left the house at 4:30am to get to the park & ride for the bus stop. We had one long, hot, & sweaty day in NYC.

I don’t regret my NYC experience with my parents, but whatever. I didn’t really want to go in the first place. I was doing it for them. It eventually turned out to be an alright day in the end, but I left NYC in lots of pain. We didn’t get back to the house and into bed until 3am on Sunday. So that means, we were awake for 24 hours.

On Sunday, I didn’t feel like doing anything except for lounging about. That’s pretty much all I did, other than run errands with James after my parents left to go back to SC. It took me a few days to recover from being so sore, but I think this next coming week, I should be back on track with everything.

I had a hard week, though. I’ve had a cold with a combination of being depressed all week. I haven’t felt like doing anything at all, other than laying in bed or zoning out at the computer. That’s pretty much what happened. I only cooked once and the dishes are still in the sink. Oh well. Hopefully this coming week will be a lot better, but I won’t hold my breath. Gotta get through the weekend first.

It is hot as ballsacks outside. I just looked at my dashboard and it says its 102 out there. I definitely believe it. I went out to my car and I immediately broke out into a sweat. I went to go get my prescription at Target and I had to wait 30 minutes and by the time I left, I had pit stains. No joke. I did see some cute things that I wanted for my kitchen, so sweat was definitely worth it.

I was supposed to go to the gym after picking up my prescription, but I felt like I had already sweat enough and that I did not need to go to the gym. I was so drained from the sun just from walking to and from my car four times. I am wimp, hear me roar. -squeak-

I also wore my new shoes that I got yesterday and that was a flippin mistake. I got blisters just from walking around Target. Oh well. Gotta break them in sooner or later.

James took me to the inner harbor on Saturday to try and cheer me up and while there we stopped in Urban Outfitters. I had already picked out the vinyl toy blind box I wanted and was ready to head upstairs to check out when I spotted this gem (Tara McPherson Magic Love Hello Kitty!) out of the corner of my eye high up on a dusty shelf in a corner. I flipped out and went and got it down from the shelf and it had a price tag of 9.99. I was like REALLY?! I wanted this forever ago and when it came out I didn’t have the 40 bucks in my paypal to buy it, so I didn’t get it. NOW I HAS FOR 9.99! It seriously was the highlight of my day.

I also scored some cute apple earrings. I’m totally into earrings right now and I don’t know why. I never wear them and plus I only have one other pair which are cute vintage bunnies from way back when when I could barely walk. So now I have two pairs of earrings! Check me out!

Also, I won passes to a screening of Super 8 tonight from a trivia thingy I may or may not have used google to cheat. I’m not sure if the movie will be any good, but its free, so I don’t care.

I’m totally going to regret being awake this early..

I made those muffins. Yes, I sure did. I haven’t eaten one yet, but James has and he said it was delicious. They’re raspberry cream cheese breakfast buns from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook. I know they don’t really look like buns and more like muffins and that’s because I don’t really know what a bun pan looks like. So, I just used a jumbo muffin pan. I will say this, the batter was absolutely divine and I had no shame while licking the batter off of the beater right before clean up. Yum. Here’s the recipe, if anyone is interested.

But yea, I have been wanting this cookbook forever since I absolutely adore Magnolia Bakery in NYC. I plan on baking everything out of this book, as time allows. Probably one new recipe a week? Sounds good.

I still haven’t written up a post about my Anthony Green show or my NYC trip. I guess I will get on that and have it posted tomorrow. Yay.

Also, it is Day Three of my music meme, and here is my response to today’s. A Song that makes you happy – Baby Girl by Anthony Green.

Okcupid is for the birds, I will tell you that much. I’ve had such a wonderful experience that I thought I would share. I have been using Okcupid (OKC for short) since late January and I’ve come across many a wierdos in my time. For now, I will just write about the ones I met in person, I guess. This will probably take up multiple entries over time as it is an extensive collection (ok, not really, just 7) of bad and/or weird encounters. But really, I just wanted to document this somewhere other than my yellow moleskine. I probably already wrote about some of this in my livejournal, but whatever.

Dating really sucks. I hate it. The reason I hate it so much is because it is so awkward and I never know what to do or say. I don’t want to be that asshole that says or does the wrong thing. Then I look like a stuck up bitch because I don’t really say a whole lot. There are times where I do feel comfortable and end up talking to much. I don’t want to be /that/ person. Ugh. Woe is me.

I will start with Guy #1. He was a tattooed, chubby, beardy guy. Just my type. We seemed to get along just fine. I went over for “movies” and whatnot. We did indeed have some sort of TV running in the background, which I think it was the show Psych. I will say that it was good enough for me to go back a second time, but when I asked him to take me out on a date, he just kinda avoided that topic. Needless to say, I did not go back a third time (even though I thought about it).

BUMMER. Ok, I was bummed at first, but whatever. I’m over it. I have better things to do than bang loser-y guys with big TVs.

Ok that is all for now.
