Things I have done in my lifetime

I found this little thing online and found it very entertaining/interesting...it got me thinking about my bucket list, a list of things I want to accomplish/experience/say I have done before I die.... I found my old bucket list a couple of weeks ago and have to say that I have already done some of the stuff on it, but there is still a lot more to do... I added some more stuff, since things like that aren't static, as we grow we wish to experience more and diverse things. I'll type up my own bucket list eventually, but not now...for now you will have to be satisfied with this little thing here.

With friends like these, who needs a boyfriend?

 ‎"fossi un ragazzo ti sposerei ma intanto accontentiamoci di essere amiche e viaggiamo!" 


Translation: "If I were a guy, I would marry you but for now let's be happy we're friends and travel"


My friend, Mina randomly told me this today... it made my day... seriously though, with friends like this who needs a boyfriend? 

Little somethings

I would love to get my nails done like this

I thought this was really funny

How awesome are these window seats (yes, I know technically one is a bed...I would use it as my reading nook!).  My dream house will one day have one of these!

and a little something for the fat ass kid in all of us :)

Visual Diary of my last meal

(In case you are wondering...yes, I really enjoy these visual diary posts and yes, there will be more to come!)

I only had about 30 minutes to prepare lunch, eat, tidy up and go...oh yeah, and I had nothing to make an actual meal with, so I threw together some stuff I found in the fridge, cooked it all in a pan and boy, oh boy, was it good!

Random Ramblings

*I have been so moody these past two days and I have no idea why. I am not a generally moody person. Usually if I am in a bad mood or pissy something has happened to make me that way, but I was just in a BAD mood yesterday and it took a lot of self control not to snap at people because, well, they didn't do anything and it's not their fault I was in a bad mood. Then today it happened again... let's just hope it's pms!

* I ran into the ex this past week. It was pleasantly surprising! I needed some body wash and I guess also needed some because we ran into each other in the body wash isle. We ended up chatting and laughing (real laughter, not forced) for about 20 minutes. It was nice and it made me happy to see that he is doing well. Afterwards I got to thinking how far I had come. It's almost a year to the day that we broke up (the first time) and at the time I didn't know how I would move on from it...it was a rough time (so rough the song in the video below would be enough to send me into a mini-anxiety/panic attack) but look at me now! I am happy and I am definitely going forward with my life!

* I actually drove today and I might be driving again tomorrow! It has been years since I even sat in the drivers seat of a car, let alone maneuver one. It was a lot of fun and I was really scared at first (in part because I was driving a convertible sporty Mercedes and really didn't want to do anything to it) but it went really well!!! 

* This video makes me happy, watch it and maybe it will make you happy, too! :)

* Just a few things I found on the interwebs that I found interesting/pretty/funny:
