Bullies...

Hi.

I haven't written a blog post in quite some time!

I'm doing well, and hope you all are too.

Today, though, I am sad.

Sad that Internet bullying has literally caused some dear internet friends (whom I've never met, but love just the same) to delete their YouTube accounts, blog, etc.

Sam and Jay Schuerman posted a daily vlog chronicling their life, their sweet son growing up, and Samantha also had a beauty channel. If you've never watched it, you missed out! It was fabulous and something I looked forward to every day.

Yesterday, they made the decision to shut down all of their channels due to receiving threats against their family.

I completely understand why they did what they did, and I would've done the same!

But...I miss them. And it pisses me off that some assholes HIDE behind a computer screen and harass people.

You know that none of these asshats would ever have the balls to actually SAY the words they so brazenly TYPE to someone's face (and, I sure as hell hope their spoken language is better than their shitty grammar. I doubt it).

I apologize for my use of bad words (but, dammit, sometimes it makes me feel better to curse. So there).

I am so sad for Sam and Jay, as they worked so hard at making their channels a success and they had so many "fans", myself included.

They don't know I wrote this and they didn't ask me too. I just had to vent.

So, my point? Don't type rude shit while hiding behind a computer screen that you wouldn't have the courage to SAY to someone's face.

Oh, and PS, threatening someone's family over the Internet is ILLEGAL.

What I did on a Friday night.....

Preface: please pardon my tiny pictures. Blogger was giving me photo issues....

Tonight, I was feeling a little bored.

So, I took my bored self to Target.

Boredom + Target = recipe for disaster (of the non Hurricane Irene variety).

Oh, I did a little damage.

See:











Yeah. Damn Target.

But....since I did a little damage to my own wallet,

I thought I'd help enable to you to join me!

Because, honestly, isn't that what part of blogging is about?

Enabling?

No? Oops.

Sorry in advance.

First of all, it's no secret that I love Hello Kitty.

Yes, I realize I am too old for Hello Kitty.

Ask me if I care.

In the Spirit of Hello Kitty Love, just look at these:











Aren't they so cute??

I have needed some new slippers for while now, so I got Hello Kitty ones.

And, ohhhhh, they are comfy!

And, I got a Hello Kitty shirt.





















And, yes, I fully plan to wear it in public, thankyouverymuch.

I got it to wear with black leggings. I think it's pretty cute!

FYI, the Mossimo for Target leggings are on sale for $5!









These are some of my favorite leggings!

They are SUPER tight (in a comfortable way).

I got the capri length and the ankle length.

They really do a good job of sucking in the cellulite and not getting saggy knees.

Few things I hate more that saggy knees in leggings. Gross!

I love wearing leggings.

In fact, I have worn leggings every day (that I'm off work) for the past 2 months.

Not kidding.

A little TMI, but these.....









are quite possibly the most comfortable underwear In. The. World.

Yes, even better than Hanky Pankys (which I also own).

P.S. these undies leave NO VPL when worn with leggings.

Also...on sale for 4 pairs for $20.

A little tidbit about me: I NEVER, ever, ever wear thongs.

I hate them. With every fiber of my being.

Oh, and I hate the word "panties".

Gag.

I got a long sleeve henley shirt, also.

To wear with leggings. Duh.

Also in my little Boredom Haul I got:

Roc Retinol Night Cream (aka...a miracle worker).

Some disgustingly bad for me noodles, mac n cheese and Sprite.

Oh, and some hair color for my janky roots (they are baaaaadddd) and some clarifying shampoo (which I like for brightening up my blonde when it starts to fade).









After my shopping trip, I took my un-bored self to Panera and had an amazing Thai Chopped Chicken Salad. Delicious!!









Then I came home and glued myself back to the news for Hurricane Irene coverage.

If you are in the path of the storm, please stay safe!

Soooo.....what did you do on your Friday night? I hope it was cheaper than mine was!

Have a wonderful weekend, Loves!!

My Life is So Exciting....

....that I haven't been blogging!

Do you believe that? No?

Well, you shouldn't.

Because it's not true.

Actually, I have not had anything interesting to talk about.

Currently, I'm sitting inside of Starbucks, blogging and drinking a venti Passion Tea Lemonade

and being annoyed that they ran out of flat lids for my cup.

I have an irrational hatred for the rounded lids.


Also, the girl sitting next to me...smells like mothballs.

I wish I were kidding.

So, what have I been up to?

Just going to work,

going to sleep,

going to Starbucks (since I discovered that I can pay for Starbucks with my iPhone, I'm even more obsessed. Not that that makes any sense, but whatever).

repeat.

Exciting, right?

There has been a lot of life thrown in the mix as well.

All good, though!

Except for the heat.

Oh my word. I can't take it anymore.

I hope it snows neck deep to a giraffe this winter.

If for nothing else, but to piss off all of my Facebook friends

who constantly post about how much they "love summer".

Really? You love sweating profusely in humidity so thick it feels like you're eating air
when you go outside?

Oh well, to each their own.

Me?

I hate summer.

And I complain about it.

A lot.

Sorry.

I haven't bought any makeup since June!

Can you believe it?

That is about to change.

You know I'm always obsessed with something, so you wanna hear my latest iPhone app obsessions?

They are: Instagram (duh), Frametastic (you can make photo collages and send them to Instagram, aNote (a to-do list, shopping list and more--this keeps me SO organized), Gossip Junkie (all the celeb gossip in one app, you can choose which site you want to read from), WhatsApp Messenger (like BBM).

You're welcome :)

All in all, my life is good.

Just been feeling kind of lazy in these dog days of summer.

But....last night HPB and I took his Psycho Pup on a walk,

and I felt a tiny tinge of coolness in the air!

Change is on the horizon!

And so is Clemson football season!

Hope you all are doing amazing,

I'll be back soon!

xoxo

Happy Wednesday!

Today, I'm hosting {semi} Wordless Wednesday over on Daphne's blog, Flip Flops and Pearls! I'd love for you to check it out. I'm talking all about Comfort TV!




Hope you have an amazing Wednesday!

Friday Friday Friday....

Every Friday, I sing that stupid Rebecca Black song in my head all day. It annoys the heck out of me, yet I can't get it out of my head. Also, I don't really know why I'm singing it, because I have to work all weekend. Boo.

But, I'm excited it's Friday for those of you who don't have to work!

So, I haven't been so great about blogging lately. It's because I've been busy and before I know it, time has slipped away from me and I didn't blog. But, life has been good.

Just the other night, I was sitting in my apartment and I just looked around me and it hit me: I am content. Content with where my life is, who my friends are, my relationships with my boyfriend and my family. Content with my job (even though it makes me crazy sometimes).

I just feel incredibly blessed and realize that I'm very fortunate to live the life I do!

So today, I don't have much to say other than I'm feeling very thankful. And I hope you have lots to be thankful for, as well!

Have a wonderful weekend friends!!

New Toy...

Welllll....if you remember this post, then you know that this post will be me eating my words.

Because I got this:

Yeah, I know.

I have been going back and forth on what phone to get for quite some time, and finally, this weekend, I decided to try the iPhone. One more time.

I'm SO glad I did!

Clearly, based off the performance of this one, the one I had originally was malfunctioning. I have had no connectivity issues with the one I got this time, and I've received all of my notifications instantly.

I am OBSESSED. I may never get anything done again. I am definitely an iPhone convert!

The apps, the look, the stability and the covers! Omg, the covers (or is it cases? Whatever)! There are so many beautiful ones to choose from! Oh, and the camera is pretty amazing as well.

Several people have asked me about the Droid, and I have NOTHING negative to say about my Droid experience! I loved the Android OS and it is a very fun phone. I do, however, find the iPhone to be more user friendly, just less customizable. They are both great phones, but I am excited to own an iPhone now!

So....if you have an iPhone, what are your favorite apps? I need more!

p.s. if you play Hanging With Friends (which is my new favorite time waster) and would like to add me, my user name is kriss76

Sad

My heart is sad over the loss of a young Deputy a few counties over from the one I work in.

I believe hell will have extra hot spots for cop killers.

At least, I hope so.

I realize (as this young cop did) that we sign up to put our lives on the line.

Every day.

It still doesn't make it OK when one is murdered.

Or justifiable.

I cried over this young cop.

And for his wife,

and two small children.

The day I stop crying over things like this,

is the day I leave this career.

It's comforting to know that I have still have a heart,

after all I've seen.

Please don't be sad for me.

This is not my story.

I am not trying to take away from his honor.

He is the hero.

He paid the ultimate price

and died doing what he loved.

If you pray, I'm sure his family would appreciate it.

Rest in Peace, Officer Rice.

We'll take your watch from here.

When I start my tour of duty God,
Wherever crime may be,
as I walk the darkened streets alone,
Let me be close to thee.

Please give me understanding with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment in a rash or callous way,
but let me hold my patience let each man have his say.

Lord if some dark and dreary night,
I must give my life,
Lord, with your everlasting love
protect my children and my wife.
