Haunted Hummingbird Feeder

   Over winter the hummingbird feeders can get a little...gross.

This one especially.

 I'm just glad I'm the one who has to clean them.
   Now they are all sparkling clean and feeding many a hummingbird.

The year is 2017, this is four years after 2013 which is when I am assuming I did my last post and started writing the above nonsense. Looking back...it's hella embarrassing. But that's ok...

I want somewhere to put all my food adventures, which continue on. During college I turned a green banana smoothie into pea soup and it tasted good. I have witnesses! I also tried to turn tomato soup into bread...That did not work out. I have realized that Martha Stewart mashed potatoes are the best recipe for mashed potatoes ever! Also, I continue to love corn bread.

I want to start working on film things: writing scripts, doing photo shoots and filming short stories. I need a creative outlet for my eccentric mind.

I am almost done with my second to last school semester. This one was the hardest semester yet, but I'm almost through. I'm planning on taking a year off after next semester - just to work and not be super productive with my life. I need to learn how to enjoy my free time, rest, and enjoy chilling with myself. I'll still have friends here and nothing to worry about. I still have other goals, such as going to film school and getting a psychology degree. I have discovered that the thing that interests me most is people: their stories, their expressions and emotions, making them feel, connecting with them, etc.

Ranting and Planning

   I'm going to college in the fall!  You know what that means!  I have to know exactly what I want to do with the rest of my life...  It also means that I have to want to get married as soon as possible, get a normal job, and live a normal life of obscurity.  Or!  Become an actor, get married a whole bunch of times, have a secretly normal job, all while being famous.  Those are my two options.
   Not good enough!  Smart people don't want to be famous.  Well, I'm a weird person.  So that excludes me from that.  I totally want to be famous!
   I don't know what job I want to have.  I'm deciding between fashion merchandiser (that's different from a designer, people!) and an event planner.
   I do NOT want to get married.  At least not for another 10 years.  The chances of my marrying before then are the same as my chances of finding a guy who wants to be a stay at home dad. Yeah that's right, I DID just say that.

   Well, rant being said and done, let's go back to my last post's topic.  What am i going to post about?
   I've decided to create a new blog and put this one back on pause for a while.  My new blog is going to be about party planning.  That's what I'm spending most of my time on right now anyway.  I've decided to call it:.......yeaaaah i don't know yet. But i'll def post about it when I get it up and running.

Looking for an adventure

Well, it turns out neither of us did the nablopomo.  Or whatever it was called.  I'm still alive, in case you were wondering...  The reason I decided to get on here and write is because I was inspired by watching Julie & Julia, which is btw an amazing movie.  I want to start blogging again.  But instead of it being about random activities that I do, which was all good and well at the time, I want it to be about me accomplishing something like Julie did.  So what am I going to do?...I'm going to college in the fall.  However between then and now, I want to go on some trips around the world.  What could be better than writing about my adventures?  I want to go to Peru, Mozambique, Alaska, Illinios, and Paris, as well as on a cruise.
   I've got a job now and just got my first paycheck today.  Yay!  How in the world am I going to be able to affors all those trips?  In order for this to be an interesting adventure it needs to have some challenge to it.  I don't want it to be about saving up enough money for all these trips.  What other adventure is there in all this?  Besides just going to these random places...  I need a challenge!!!!  Got any ideas?

Post Everyday?

   I don't know if Sarah's noticed yet...But I have NOT been posting everyday.  I have just been so busy.  There aren't enough hours in the day.  Course, it would help if I actually remembered.  And felt super motivated.  Well, I'm going on a trip pretty soon.  Since I won't be working, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, being tired, I'll have more free time and will hopefully be writing more.  Wish me luck.  I've got to beat Sarah and write the amount of blog posts I need and more words to my novel than hers!

I love my job!

   My job is the best ever.  The only thing that could make it better would be if I got paid for it.  Although I have made up for it with my 50% employe discount.  It makes their super cheap clothes crazy cheap.  I LOVE MY JOB!  And that's not the only part.  I actually love working there.  It's so much fun.  There isn't much of anything I would rather be doing.  There is really only one thing I have to do there that I don't like.  Steaming clothes.  It's like ironing clothes in the air.  The steam gets everywhere.  Other than that part, I love my job!  The other factors make up for the steaming.
   If loving my job (where I work at a clothing store), wanting to do it more, and doing it even though I'm not getting paid isn't assurance that I should get into the fashion industry, then I don't know what is.  I always had fashion design or fashion merchandising as my fallback plan.  I would go through phases where I liked one creative pursuit or another but I always had that at the back of my mind just in case.  Turns out, it's more exciting than I thought.  Yay!  I know what I want to do with my life!  Thank ya, Jesus!

My Fashion Style

   I have decided my fashion style is shiny, sparkly, pizazz.  My decision was helped along by this thanksgiving/fall wreath that I got (with Dad's money) at Wally World (otherwise known as Walmart).  Hm, turns out Spellchecker is one of those Walmart haters.  Tell that to my awesome wreath!  Booyah!

    A closer shot of the sparkle and shine:

 

Best Wreath Ever!!

Jack O'Lanterns

    We carved Jack O'Lanterns this fall!  Helen wanted to do a Boo ghost from the Mario games but it didn't work out so she changed it into a cat:

First Day of Work and The Mad-Bedazzler

   Just a Warning:  I was really tired when I wrote this.

What Me? Forget?

   Remember that post I wrote about making every day count?  Well it turns out that accounting for every moment of my day isn't very...what's the word?...do-able.  It was fun while it lasted though.  I just needed a job.  That picture up there shows one of the things I did.  I started a water fight.  I forget what we were doing outside in our pajamas but it involved the hose so I kinda...sprayed my sister all over.  She ran in to save her snowcone from the hose water, then filled up two glasses of water.  After locking myself in the bathroom, she said she had set the glasses down.  She had.  In the bathroom I had written a Peace Treaty for us to sign.  I eventually came out and sat down on one side of the glasses.  Then it turns out the reason she wanted me to come out of the bathroom was so she could spray me with water.  So I used what she had left Right There: the glasses of water.  Rookie Mistake.  After spraying me down she agreed to the peace treaty and we both signed it.  So yeah besides starting and ending a water fight I don't really recall anything of importance that I did at that time.  And remembering the water fight, as monumental as it was, was probably made easier by the fact that I have a picture.
   Now that I have a job, my time seems so much more valuable than it was before.  Make Every Day Count?  Check.

NaBloPoMo

   National Blog Posting Month!
   It is National Blog Posting Month.  I don't know if it really is official...  My cousin thinks it is.  I do know it is NaNoWriMo.  November is novel writing month.  Ok so maybe that's not official either but I'm not the one who made it up.  So here's what I'm doing:  (Or really what my cousin and I are doing).  We are going to write a blog post every day and we're having a race to see who can write the most words of our novels.  Since she is still in High School and I have a job/internship, we aren't going to try to finish it we're just racing.  The fact that we are both doing it together (and racing) is great motivation.  No more waiting for inspiration.  It's time to go out and grab it!  If you want to check out how Sarah (my cousin) is doing this month, go to sarainelli.wordpress.com.  Remember to keep checking in everyday to see what's new in our daily posts.  No, I'm not using the royal our.  I mean both of our posts, sarah's and mine.
