21 day no junk food diet!

Wish me luck! So far I'm on my 11th day of no soda and I'm not even craving soda. I have faith I can handle 21 days of no junk. :)

I hate the post office

I just got an envelope from my parents looking like this. It was inside another envelope from the post office saying " were sorry your document was severely damaged in the mail" yet they did not send the document. Fucking thieves. I hate the mailmen!

And don't ask why my mom would mail car keys in an envelope ugh

Dog park day

We try to take our 1 year lab to the dog park as much as we can. Usually every other day. She has lots of energy to burn. She was afraid of the mastiff lol. Poor mastiff slammed right into the garbage from chasing Roxie. Can't wait until my computer is fixed and will be able to use my digital camera to upload pics instead of my iPhone.

Breathe

Is it ignorant to go though someone's belongings and throw things away that appear to be empty? To me, this bottle is not empty and still has about 10 uses left of it, not to mention it's kind of expensive. Always nice to come home and find 5 of your things in the trash. I don't care if it's almost empty or not, it's mine, I haven't bought a replacement yet and clearly if it was empty I would have thrown it away.

Incase we survive

Repo Games

My boyfriend got me into this stupid show. For those who haven't seen it, basically when your car gets towed away because you haven't paid your payments but the repo guys will ask you 5 questions and you have to get 3 right to keep your car and have it paid off.

This girl was stupid and lost her car.

Her questions:

Q: what are the names of the rice crispy mascots?

Her: Fred

Haha wtf there are 3! Snap, crackle, pop!!

Q: who created electricity?

Her: bill Clinton

Bahaha pretty sure we've had electricity way before Clinton. But thanks Benjamin Franklin

Last question was some geography one I forget but her answer was: "France, wait, France is a state"

I come from a great family

I never snuck my boyfriend in my room. I told her he was here to try to free up some space on my laptop. She said hi to him. Oh and suggesting I babysit to pay rent on top of working, college , and having a life ? Awesome

And saying this needs to be resolved in one week when I'm in the middle of the semester of finishing college ? That's awesome too! Im just made of $$$ and can go get a place that fast.

Not sure how I cause so much stress when I'm either at work, school, my bfs or in my room.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Your time will come <3

My thoughts

You can't reason with dumb bitches or nutcases, that's why they're called dumb bitches or nutcases.

Thanks for reading

Footy pajamas

I saw these at Target for $22 bucks. My idea for Christmas pictures is that me and my boyfriend will both wear these up at Mt. Charleston where there is lots of snow. I can't exactly convince my boyfriend of my fabulous idea. It was a good thought though right?

Coconut water

My new addiction. Sobe coconut water! It tastes so good and refreshing. 80 calories for entire bottle. It's only $1.02 at target. Target is the only place I've seen it so far. I've checked walmart and gas stations and haven't had any luck.

I'm even starting to get my boyfriend to love it! A lot less calories then soda! I bought six bottles Wednesday and have 2 left. It almost reminds me of drinking an island drink without the alcohol.

Pedestrians

Las Vegas has had three fatal pedestrian accidents in the last 3 days. You would think that would open doors for people and they would be more cautious and actually have some common sense. The first accident involved three little girls who indeed were using the crosswalk resulting in one death, one in critical condition and the other I think had some minor wounds but she is out of the hospital. The second one was jaywalking and was hit by a drunk driver=death. The third one was 2 people jaywalking and one ended up dying on the scene.

Seriously, how are you gonna jaywalk on a busy ass street when it's pitch black out? That's just plain stupid and insane. If you can't walk a few other feet to a crosswalk that is there for your safety then don't walk out of your house. I've had a few close calls with pedestrians and it makes me mad thinking about what the outcome could be when they would be at fault.

The majority of the roads in Vegas are always insanely busy. There is never a slow time to jaywalk, let alone it's illegal. It's like a constant rush hour. Some streets aren't fully lit but I really shouldn't have to drive 5 MPH for a 15 mile drive just to be aware that pedestrians may run out at any time. Maybe I need to just delete my News app because it's starting to piss me off at how many dumb people there are that are getting hit.

Another thing is parking lots. People will just walk out in front of any moving car when they please. Wtf

1. use crosswalks. don't jaywalk like an idiot.

2. don't be wearing dark colors and expect me to see you when you're walking in front of my car at night and then look at me like WTF crazy lady.

3. watch your kids and don't be letting them run like crazy

4. make sure your bike has reflectors.

5. use crosswalks. ( wait I said this already but some idiots still don't understand)

Karma

Yesterday me and my boyfriend were sitting in his truck before class. The guy next to us couldn't get his car to start. Donnie was like " I'm gonna park my truck somewhere else because were gonna get out and he's gonna ask me to jump his car."

I jokingly said " now you're gonna have a dead battery and no one is gonna help you."

Today I get a text from him saying his battery is dead. Guess who had to take the bus to work today?

Hahaha 

Apologizing

Donnie: " I'm sorry for being mean, now say you're sorry too"

Me: " haha that makes me want to fucking apologize"

Donnie: " okay I'm sorry, now it's you're turn."

I love/hate him :) 

Kitty bunk-beds

I want kitty bunk-beds. I think these are the cutest things I've ever seen. I can't wait until I get a kitty or a kitty finds me! They are so cute and cuddly. They have such crazy personalities. I am so ready to adopt one. It is hard working at a pet store and seeing cats for adoption every day. I am hoping to get one next year. My boyfriend is not allowed to convert our future cat into a devil either :) 

Eating in class

I hate when classmates bring their lunch to class. 1 I am trying to diet and eat healthy. 2- we are in a small room, door shut, windows shut=no ventilation. The room smells disgusting. 3- food and drinks aren't even allowed.

The room smells disgusting and I feel nauseous. yuck. I hate the smell of greasy and stinky food.

Quotes and giggles

Between me and my boyfriend

Him: I'm taking you somewhere special tonight. Me: where!? Him: mcdonalds

Me: I'm just sitting here trying to cook my hardboiled egg. Him: that's not cooking it, you just put it in hot water.

Me: (whipping out my change purse) him: ew put that away. You're embarrassing me!

I added a pic of my expensive change purse.

(An hour into the movie footloose) him: I didn't know this was a dancing movie.

Trash night

It's 1 am and I'm wide awake. It's trash night tomorrow morning so the garbage is outside. Earlier this week there were 2 men going through our trash in the wee hours of the night. Seriously creepy, I mean who does that anymore? They are going to find a lot of dog shit. That's a pretty exciting treasure to take home.

Every noise I hear, makes me get up and look out the window. It's hard being a paranoid person. A huge part of me wants to stand in the window and take a million pictures of them like a mad creeper/paparazzier while laughing hysterically, flash after flash after flash until they sqadaddle.


Every time I get up and look out the window, I feel like I'm a kid again looking for Santa Claus.

I will add pics if they return to the hot spot to be, the trash.

Favorite deep conditioner

My favorite deep conditioning hair mask ever is macadamia natural oil! 4 bucks at Ulta for the sample size. I can get 2 uses out of it and I have really long and thick hair. It makes your hair so soft and silky and smells amazing. I've tried many hair masks since I get highlights and the bleach dries out my hair.This one is the best by far. Works wonders for dry hair.

You only leave it on for 7 minutes vs the ones that take 15-20 minutes. I have the tangliest hair ever and have to always coat on no more tangles. I don't even need it when I use this stuff once a week. Seriously just try it. :)

I'm always up for good recommendations too!

Rants about my lack of love for people

#1 I hate when people talk to me in statements as in telling me what I'm going to do for them. How about you ask me instead of telling me?

#2 I hate when people's dogs shit on the floor at a store and they tell the employees to clean up their mess even though there are bags, paper towels, trashcans and sprays scattered throughout the store.

I don't see parents going to babies r us and having the employees change their child's shitty diapers. Don't bring your pet somewhere if you don't plan on taking care of it. Nobody really likes shit.

Otterbox case for iPhone

The otterbox case has seriously saved my life (wallet) many times. It's a plastic case that covers the practically the entire phone hence the word "box". The only part not covered are the speakers. There is a rubber part that goes over the box for a more appealing look. It comes off easily though and can be rinsed for accidents such as when you drop it in your bowl of cereal. I've seen a variety of colors that they come in.

I paid $50 for mine from AT&T although I've seen the prices cut in half on Amazon.com. The case may be thick and bulky but it is worth it, especially if you're clumsy like me or have kids.

I would not have an iPhone today if it were not for this case. From dropping it 1,2,3,489 times, dropping it in the dogs water bowl, spilling an entire can of Dr. Pepper on it, sticky hands, babies drooling on it, I've drooled on it, slept on it, dropping it on a mountain/stairs/in the rain, this case has saved my ass many times! I 100% recommend it!

The case is really thick!

You can see how scratched up my plastic case is. Can't image what my iPhone would look like without it haha.

Dogs in costumes?

With Halloween coming up, I thought I'd post some pictures. This is my boyfriends dog, Roxie. She's a 1 year old black lab/pitbull. Extremely friendly yet so crazy and wild! The costumes lasted about 30 seconds before she tore them off. Here she is as a bumblebee and a basketball player. Her costumes came from Petsmart. Reasonable price of around $12 seeing how they were both 30% off when I purchased them.

first post.

A little about me?

I'm Erin. I grew up in a small town in Illinois for 17 years and moved to Las Vegas in 2006. I am currently in college and studying to be an elementary teacher. Children have always been my passion. I work part time in retail at the same job I've had for the last 5+ years. I love animals, photography, and being creative. I am going to use this blog as a photo blog, ranting, reviewing products, and whatever else I come up with :)
