Is This The Real Life? Is This Just Fantasy?

Hello!  I haven't posted anything in a while (not that anyone reads this anyway, lol) and for that I am sorry.  I have just been super stressed lately, especially at work.  I don't know if I can handle it anymore, between work and school its cray cray, lol.  None the less, here I am.  My weekends have actually been really good lately, between going to the movies and sleeping in I have no complaints on that front.  Today is Thursday, so I figured I would revive Thursday's Thoughts.  So here is what I have been thinking about lately. 


Who knew a member of One Direction could be so insightful? Lol


Books! Books! And more Books!


Literary Genius
All in all I have just been thinking about life, as usual.  I am looking for a change, something dramatic, much more dramatic than cutting my hair :) I'm talking big life altering change.  Like starting my own business?  Who knows?  But I am looking forward to what the future has in store for me.

Here We Go Again

Just when I thought that I was recovering from sickness, I feel like I am getting sick again.  It probably doesn't help that I eat a ton of junk which probably weakens my immune system even more, lol. Hopefully it isn't the flu, this weekend I am going to get my flu shot and start juicing so I can rebuild my immune system and cleanse my body.  Other than that happy Hump Day everyone :) I woke up late this morning and made to work right on time, after I was almost hit by a car on my way to work. That put me in a really bad mood for a while because I had the right of way and this lady totally came so close to hitting me, lol. But I didn't let it ruin my whole day, feeling sick did that for me, but I am not complaining because its my own fault, lol. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week, I am going to try my hardest to enjoy mine!

My Idea Of A Great Night...

Well it is Saturday and I am sitting at home painting my nails and listening to Oldies on my iTunes.  This is my idea of a great night :)  I am a very simple girl, I know, lol.  But seriously, I don't need to do anything exciting or fancy to have a great night.  Most of my great nights have involved family or friends just hanging out eating good food, laughing, and listening to music.  I have never felt the need to go to a fancy or expensive club to dance when my living room floor is just as good a dance floor as any, lol.  So the first week of the new year is almost over and it has been a pretty good one, if only they could all be so good.  But I am not complaining and I haven't all week which I am very proud of.  One of my goals this year is to stop complaining or thinking about what I don't have and be thankful for what I am blessed with.  I am hoping to start Bartending school this month, fingers crossed.  This is something I really want to do and if I don't do it now I never will.  So I hope everything works out, I could really use the second job right now.  It will be a lot to handle at first but I know that I can do it.  Have a great weekend everyone!
