Gus & Relaxation

     I feel so relaxed! Sitting in bed blogging after a nice hot shower, putting on my Minnie Mouse jammies, and drinking the holiday classic tradition in this house, sparkling cranberry juice. Thank you Welchs, you're a genius and complete my jolly Christmas mood. That was not the case today however. First of all I was supposed to work for the second day in a row and I got sent home because they didn't have anything for me to do and that irritated me because I NEED A SCHEDULE!! Come on now. I need money, this whole only two days a week is seriously barely enough to give me gas money. Secondly I went to the Dollar General to get some stocking stuffers. Yeah, they had absolutely nothing to get for people. Or maybe I'm just older and pickier but I mean really. Get some cool stuff that parents would love too. It don't all have to be plastic junk. And thirdly people on the road are really rude. 

 
     After I finished my shopping extravaganza I headed home and I was okay, relaxed. I am working on a new stocking because my other one which is still cute but it's a little babyish. My new pattern is completely genius. We all know.. well actually I'm not sure that you do or not but I love and I'm talking love owls and mustaches. So it would make sense to do nothing but make an owl stocking!! Ehmm. Check it out. The upclose of the owl is just to show you (though I'm not sure you can see it, sorry it's out of focus) the painstaking stitching that I did around every owl. Yes, it did take forever. But who has a more awesome stocking? Nobody champ. That's who. *I can do a tutorial on the next blog if you'd like.*
     I know what you're probably thinking.. Gus? Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I have FOUND the perfect name for my little beta fish. Gus it is. My inspiration you may ask? Well, as usual I was extremely hyper and I was thinking of Cinderella and I thought Gus, he was such a good guy and it's really a respectable name. So after a long discussion with Kolton (Who might I add preferred the name Tony) we agreed to that name since we are his parents! Proud ones too. He's just so adorable. He doesn't eat very much though and sometimes I think he doesn't like me because I don't feed him enough but that's because I put it in there and he lets it sink! But anyways. He's still a healthy little guy. 
    Brownie Pound Cake= Delicious. I felt festive 'cause who doesn't get tired of box cake? I will do a separate post on the recipe I used and how I modified it. Because BAM. It's tasty. And I made it all from scratch. I am on a conquest to start really cooking and not just getting everything out of the box. I'm sure my future husband will appreciate that. (:  I would also like to say that I'm pretty dadgum excited that 25 days of Christmas is about to start on ABCFamily! It's got to be one of my all time favorite countdowns. I got a candle for my birthday *sugar cookies I believe* my room smells heavenly. It's like a bakery in my room mhmm mhmm mhmm. 
     Okay I'm going to bed-but I'll be back soon! Don't get crazy. 
                                           

Victory Dance :D

     Oh yes I am SO doing the victory dance!!! Well see I had a puppy named Cooper about.... 2 - 3 months ago, yes had :( And I came home one day to his precious little self been kidnapped, boy was I mad. I was so upset and you can only do one thing to help out that hurt.
    Get another puppy! Lol. However my mom was not so keen on the idea and for a long time I have wanted and inside pet, now I was never really to fresh on the whole cat thing but then Kolton (my boyfriend) got a kitty and she's just too sweet!! She's so cuddly and fun. But that got shot down just as quick as the inside puppy. So what do I do you ask? Well I didn't get a hamster because I've been there done that and let me just say I will never ever go there again. You won't get any sleep at all. 

     Anyhow! I got a fish! I mean what more of a compromise can you get? Really now, it's inside. Not really that messy. He's a cutie bear! and I only had to buy one thing of 3 dollar food that will last me all year. I'm officially a mom. BUT I'm having a little trouble coming up with a name for him.. and I'm absolutely drawing a blank.. (so if you have any suggestions hit me up.) But for now Fishy will do. 

Today was my first day back at school after Thanksgiving break. Wow. It completely sucked. Getting up at 6:40? No thank you! But it was an okay day, I didn't realize how much I missed my people in the office that I work with. Jane is always soo sweet to me and spoils me wayyy to much. But hey, who's arguing? My mom made Girtle Buster the other day for thanksgiving dinner with her family and OMG. Let me just tell you it was amazing. I want to do a baking tutorial or something like that, I think it would be fun! Let me know what you think on that too. Well, I'm off to curl my hair for tomorrow and hopefully (but not likely) sleep like a baby!! Until tomorrow, Stay classy San Diego. 

Successful Christmas?

     Yes, you read that correctly. Christmas. I have been in the Christmas spirit for weeks now which for some people might be a little early; however, I for one could have it all year long because it makes me feel jolly. When mom was out one day this little girl took the initiative to go ahead and decorate that mess before she got home (might I add I did a wonderful job). I have been working for the city lately because my boss is the mayor so she just moves me to where ever she needs things done. So I'm like a personal assistant/city employee/furniture store employee/personal shopper.. whatever you need done, hit me up. I know how to get things done! Like I was saying, I have been working for the city for our Light Up (insert town here) as a manager of it and a coordinator pretty much. 
     When the time came for the parade line up I helped line them up, I confirmed vendors, I made sure all the equipment was working properly, I hung up thousands of posters, I mean I pretty much moved a couple mountains for this thing to work out. And enjoyed almost every minute of it because I love being in charge of things such as this and watching everything all fall into place. The only thing I didn't enjoy was freezing my butt off in 30 degree weather and printing pictures of kids with Santa. Other than that it was a blast. 
     Now I'm not really sure what I will do since it's over. Our town decided to bring in an Ice Rink for people to enjoy and hopefully I'll be working there from now on. If not then I will have to start looking and *crossing my fingers* I can find a job waitressing because OMG I would looooveeee to do that. It would involve people and tips and that's what I am talking about! haha
     Today I spent absolutely all day at church getting ready for our Christmas play which will obviously be in December but you gotta start early so that you can get some practice in. It went really well although sometimes we went off on subjects just chewin the fat. Anywho we got into an extremely deep conversation at the end of practice about the world and what is excepted these days and honestly it's amazing the things that people think are okay. And most of it is the Christians fault because we've let it  happen and not said anything. 
     The people in my grade and well every generation is getting worse. And it just makes me wonder how long will we be here? How long will all the terrible things going  on happen? The world is such a corrupted place and before I actually opened my eyes to all the chaos, I couldn't wait to have a kid and be married and what not. Now though? Do I really want to bring a child into this place? I can't imagine by the time the kindergartners get into high school will be faced with. I know at my high school smoking pot, partying, turning gay and raising cane is just the popular things that people do. So when they get into school will it turn into meth, coke, pills.. how far will it go? 
     If anybody wants to see a change in the world they have to start making it happen and not just wishing it would. Pray about it and take action. This goes for me too because I know I stand by and watch a lot of things that I know are wrong happen when I should stand up for what I believe in. I know this is deep but the world is just so terrible now with war and  hatred like I've never seen. And we teach little kids to love and yada yada and yet the people that they look up to don't live by example and we wonder why kids are doing the things they are and getting into trouble. 
     But anyways I have been very blessed with a job, clothes, a house, a car to drive, a conscious mind, a family, soap, water, electricity. Things that we really just don't think about to be blessings and gifts but every little hair on your head is a gift. I'm starting out my week with a new perspective and outlook on things. We've got to turn this place around and I plan on trouping out and leading that march (: 
     I've been on Thanksgiving break this week and tomorrow I have to go back to school (again another blessing) But I have really enjoyed not going to school and I was hoping to keep it that way. Lol but it's back to the grind tomorrow. Although I do have to admit that I do like being on a schedule gives me something to go by. In just a couple weeks I will be out for Christmas break and after that college, job, and high school everyday?!? I am so excited that life is moving forward! 
     Alright, time to take a shower but I'll be sure to blog this week!!! Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and a blessed week! <3

Slacking.

Okayyyyyyyyyyy. I know I know. It's been probably over a week since I wrote, however my life took an eventful turn, of course. 

Last week we had apply to college day at school which in itself is a task because you have to do everything specifically how the school wants you to do it. I applied to two so hopefully I will hear back from them soon. I am planning on duel enrolling next semester which would be amazing because it would get some of my core classes out of the way and cost me virtually nothing. So I figured I might as well take advantage of it. Also my literature teacher assigned us an essay on a zombie apocalypse. It's about what we would do if one ever happened and let me just tell you that's harder than it sounds. I pretty much just took everything that I have learned from the walking dead and put it into my life scenario. 

I switched jobs. I still work for the same person, but she is the Mayor so I've been working for the city for our Christmas program/parade this year. I've got to double check people's work and make sure that they did things correctly because they apparently don't listen. It's insane but I do love it. It's not like the furniture store when you have to wait for someone to come in, I'm constantly go go go. And I love it! Fingers crossed that everything will come out the way we want it to!

I've been absolutely ADDICTED to caffine. I mean I can't stop! Monsters, Coffee, or anything with the word caffine in it. I've been so exhausted the past two weeks and it's really the only thing that has kept me going. There is no such thing as sleep any more. 

That's pretty much all I can think of right now. Counting down until Black Friday Shopping!! It's my favorite thing everrrr!           Happy Trails everyone!

Eventful Day

  Do you want a piece of advise? Whenever you think you're not going to have a fun-filled day, think again. Usually my days are boring but no, not today. 
     First of all, I found out who our  president was and that people on Facebook are extremely rude and inappropriate. Let me just say that I can't vote yet, however, everyone is going to have their opinion on everything. That is the joy of America, we're allowed to have our opinion. Don't bash other people's thought's just because you don't agree with them. Also if you don't vote then why are you freaking out?! You probably didn't even follow their campaigns and you're more than likely only repeating what your parents think. And if you were a voter and your candidate didn't win, obviously you're going to be upset, that's understandable. But even after don't let you're pride get in the way. You should be praying for our country. The key word being OUR country. It's so sad that politics and religion can do such a fantastic job at completely separating people. We need to put aside differences especially now that what's done is done and come together, pray for OUR leader, and be glad that we live in a place that we can have an opinion and we can have our own thoughts and not forced into thinking others. I think that's all for that topic..
     Second on the list? I got pulled over at school, which wasn't a big deal cause I was almost late and I was feeling like "Hey, YOLO" and it's not like I got in trouble. He just said "You know why I pulled you over?" "yeah, I went through a do not enter spot." "Well, atleast you're honest with me. Don't do it again okay?" "Okay!" See? No harm no foul.. it's just the fact of getting pulled over by a cop that just put a damper on my day.
     Third. I got freakin wrote up. Not a big deal either because I never get into trouble (except for today that is). Wanna know what for? Saying the word freak. Now if you know me  the word freak is in my everyday vocabulary. I mean, it's probably said between 20-30 times a day at least  The word is just genius and fits pretty much every situation. But hey. Ain't no thang, That's my first write up and I'm a senior.. I think that's pretty good. 
     Fourth. It's just rainy and junky outside. 
     On the bright side I didn't have to work today AND It's Kolton's birthday! So we'll be having dinner later at his house. Chocolate Chicken? It sounds pretty disgusting and it's really a let down because apparently it doesn't even have anything chocolate in it. So it better be good! Cause I looovvvveee to eat.

College Road Trip?!

    Okay, so this whole blogging everyday thing obviously is not working out, however; I am still going to blog regularly because my life is so interesting! (NOT) I didn't blog the past couple days for 1. lack of time and 2. I had nothing to even talk about that was in the least bit appealing. But have no fear! Today I skipped school and went on a college tour with one of my very good friends Mckayla. We had the absolute best time. The college was little bitty  and the dorms weren't that bad. They were actually spacious and the bathrooms are freshly rebuilt. Son. 
     Surrounding the college were little stores and what not. Plenty of places to eat (because that's really what i'm looking for when i'm scouting a college) and more one on one classes. But after the tour was over and we were on our way home, we realized we forgot the dadgum note that says we were there and not just skipping AND then we realized... we just toured a college.  The people that we have come to love (and hate) we're never going to see again after May 24, 2013. More than likely. I'm sure we'll hang out during the summer but it's not going to be like it always has been. I can't decide if I'm sad or what. 
     I also discovered I have a fear of being stuck in a college with a bunch of kids that I have nothing in common with and I'll end up lonely!! But who am I kidding, I talk to everyone. Literally.. everyone. 
     SO!!! New subject, I've currently been unable to stop watching The Walking Dead. It's so intense and gross but I just can't quit watching it. And then I found myself  thinking if the world ever did come to a Zombie apocalypse, this would be my plan. 
             -Go fill up every gas tank, can, jar I could get my hands on.
             -Hit up CVS and Walmart
             -Load up on some weapons
             -Head home and eat supper
Cause let me tell you, I live on a honkin mountain in the middle of nowhere. So it's not like they're gonna come after me. PLUS I'd have some food to be preserving and canning and junk.
     Kolton's 19th birthday is tomorrow!! His present? A t-shirt. Not anything massive but come on now.. he can't have me and awesome presents all the time. It's the Cool Story Babe, Make Me A Sandwich. He's gonna love it. And because I can't vote I keep forgetting! Today is election day! Thoughts? Comments  I'm not sure who will win and honestly I don't care because it's not like I have a say in it anyways. But I do hope that everyone who is participating in this voting has really took what the candidates have said into consideration and also their values, morals, and faith. I hope everyone has took the time to really pray about this election because whoever you choose will effect your life, your kids, your neighbors, heck it'll even effect generations away. 
     I'm gonna have a stakeout to see if I find out who wins! Stay safe & Keep warm.
                                                  <3 Abigail

Forgetful Randomness

     So as you can tell from the title of the blog I obviously forgot something. TO BLOG LAST NIGHT!!! I couldn't even believe when i woke up this morning that I forgot! Actually lately I've been forgetting a lot of things even more than usual. I have a terrible memory but now I have a memory like a two year old! Lol. So I made a list of things to do everyday of the week so that will cut down of the not knowing what to do and wasting time. 
     What else? I'm thinking about doing a program at school next semester called duel enrollment. It's when instead of being at school you go to a college and you get a high school credit and a college credit. I'm actually pretty set on doing it because it's a really good opportunity to go ahead and get your classes out of the way. It would put me ahead of the other freshman if I decide to do it.
     I cannot stop watching I Love Lucy!!! When I wake up I turn on the TV and when I go to bed I fall asleep to it. (: Defiantly the best show ever. I really don't know what else to blog about.. I believe me and Kolton are going on a date tonight! I want to go to the Drive In but we'll see. Anyways I will update later if anything good happens! 
                                   
                                                                   .................................

     As I predicted.. absolutely nothing exciting around here happened. So what did I do you may ask? Well I baked of course! A german chocolate cake. ( Lets not tell anyone it all came prepackaged though) It was delicious! And I even limited myself to a very little piece. Could I be any prouder?! I also got my Christmas basket together. Every year my mom's side of the family does a get together and all the women swap baskets with all kinds of goodies in them. My theme this year? Gingerbread! And I even got most all the contents from the holiday isle in the Dollar Store (and I might have took a slight detour and went to Walmart's Christmas isle too..) But I just can't help it! I'm obsessed and already listening to Christmas music!! 
     My brother also decided to make an appearance. We don't see him much because he moved in with my uncle and got a job and blah blah life happened. So he came home tonight and here's the surprise... he's staying the night! Too bad I have to work tomorrow :( I dont mind  growing up heck I don't even mind having to work. I love having a paycheck! But I want a job in something I'm interested in! Hopefully that will happen, I just need to be patient. 
     I have also taken on the challenge to read the harry potter books. I've never really been interested in them, however they have been on TV a lot lately and my boyfriend had them so I thought hey, why not? I finished the first one in two days and now i'm anxiously waiting on the second one to be sent my way! It was much more interesting than I thought it would be. It really makes my mind and imagination do some work. I never in a million years thought that Snape was innocent and Quirell was the evil bad man. Did I mention I love to read? (:
     I'm so disappointed! It's the second day of November and I still haven't carved a pumpkin! Have no fear! I have set up a pumpkin carving date on Monday! Which will be followed up with pictures. Since entering the blogging world madness I find myself doing nothing but getting on Pinterest, checking my daily dose of ItsJudyTime on YouTube ( afterall she is the one who inspired me to start a blog) and researching other blogs! It's nothing but pure happiness to follow other people's lives and see what crafty things they're up to. 
     So I think I'll pop in the next disk of I Love Lucy and drift off until I'm forced to work tomorrow.
                              Goodnight world!
