I am needy and have cravings.

Oh, hello, Monday.

 

Happy Monday to you lovely readers. I hope that you are having a good day, and if you aren't, I hope the Starbucks fairy visits you with some espresso. Oh, and if that's not helping, just click here. Yes, you are very, very welcome ;)

 

Today, I am going to talk about some things that you girls can relate to - and if not, you can just sit back and have a good laugh at my expense. So, today I am going to talk about the crazy things that I want/crave/complain about/desire when I am PMS'ing. Yup, I said it and I am going there. Let's take a journey, loved ones.

 

1. I want chocolate, cookies, cake...pretty much any and all things that have sugar. I don't overly crave things usually, but when I do, I want them and I don't stop thinking about them until I get it. For instance, I am craving a blended coffee from a local coffee shop, so I am making it a point today that I do there and get it. I want it all. Yes, I am Sharpay Evans, you dig? I also want tons of sugar and chocolate. If it's around and I see it, I want it. Thank God for a dad who buys you chocolate chip cookies, huh?

 

2. I want to lay around in my bathrobe all day. Why do I find the largest amount of comfort in this thick piece of fabric? I don't know, but all I want to do is lounge around in my bathrobe, leggings and cuddled under twelve billion layers of blankets.

 



 

3. I want to punch all of my customers in the face. When I am at work and someone asks me more than one question, I automatically want to grab a ciabbata from the bread rack behind me and beat them to death with it. No, I am not a violent person, and I am usually very patient. But, around this time of the month, I will cut you if you ask me one more time if I really did put the sheet of meat ravioli on the top of the box.

 

4. I want to cuddle, and cuddle and cuddle some more. I just want to cuddle. I try to cuddle with my dog, but when she gets in my bed she either lays on my pillows and I can't get comfortable or she lays of my hair or face, homie don't play that.

 

5. I complain about being single. I complain about being alone and single like it's my job. I will text my friend Michele and we will both just rag about our lonely times and how we wish we had a boyfriend and then we just say "whatever" and end up eating and then later say "this is why I don't have a boyfriend!" It's a rollercoaster of emotion.

 

6. I complain about everything. Not only do I complain about the single girl struggle, but I complain about everything. How the left side of my hair doesn't have enough curl as the other, that there is only Diet Pepsi and not Diet Coke in the house and how my jeans aren't fitting because I am bloated. The PMS complain struggle is real.

 

 

All in all, I end up being a hot mess who is shoving chocolate chip cookies in her mouth while watching re-runs of Dance Moms, texting her best friends about how fat she is going to get and how boys don't like her. I may or may not have done that last night. Pffft..not...pffft....

 

 

Your Life. Can I have it?

It's Friday!

 

Let us rejoice and sing along with the angels in the hallelujah choir. Oh. You don't wanna sing? That's fine too. I mean, I did dry clean those old maroon choir robes. But, if you don't wanna sing today, that's fine. I will just go hum a tune all by my lonesome. I don't need other people to sing. Shoot.

 

Well, today I want to talk about the lovely ladies that may sing (or not) that I wouldn't mind being for a day (or forever). Maybe you will agree with me, maybe you won't. That's totally okay. We can agree to disagree. But, without a doubt, all these ladies are fabulous and haters gonna hate.

 

 

Taylor Swift // Everybody hates on this poor girl, and I am putting a stop to this right now, okay?! Yes, she writes songs about her breakups and all that jazz. She is being a normal girl. I mean, c'mon, she was raised on a Christmas Tree farm and had bushy, curly afro hair in middle school. What do you want her to be singing about, living in the ghetto and her super bass? No thanks. But, back to the subject of the matter: I would want to be Taylor Swift because she is just such a classy, elegant girl who is just a genuinely sweet and caring person. She is also the size of a toothpick and has the best hair I have ever seen in life. She also sells bazillions of albums and gets to tour all around the world. How stinking cool would that be? Going to sleep in Paris and waking up in Japan? That's super rad.

 

Lea Michele // I mean, who really doesn't want to be Lea Michele? She starred on Broadway, got a writer/producer to fall in love with her and write her a specific role into a hit television show that had a sold out tour. I mean, I think that's kinda awesome. Not to mention she dates the adorably-awkward Cory Monteith! Like TayTay, she is also ten pounds soaking wet and can pull off just about any dress known to man. She also has tons of adorable tattoos and has the voice of an angel. Like, honestly. She is amazeballs. Just go stinking listen to her!

 

Demi Lovato // Demi is just such a strong girl. I was super proud of her when she came out of rehab and had a number one single. I mean, that's super talent. She has a powerhouse voice and she has been in three movies for Disney, and had a great career with Disney. When I was little all I wanted to do was be a kid actor on Disney. I always wanted to say "Hi, I'm Marissa from *insert show here* and you're watching Disney Channel!" And, she has dated some cuties in her day. I also wouldn't have minded judging X Factor with BritBrit.

 

Lauren Conrad // Can I just have all of her style and clothes and creativity, like now?! She has two amazing fashion lines, she had a hit show on MTV, she wrote a novel series and published two books on Style & Beauty. I mean, is there anything this girl can't do? She also has load of money and can just take a plane to anywhere in the world and have a grand old time just living it up. I mean, she's got a sweet gig, dontchya think?

 

Who wouldn't you mind being for a day, or a week...or forever?

 



Just Being Musical: January Playlist.

Happy Wednesday, primos!

 

This morning I was laying in my bed after my alarm had gone off several times, and I was just ignoring it like it was my job. But, as I was ignoring the annoying buzzing (and the obnoxious sound of my neighbors' snow plow) I was going through the recently purchased music on my iPhone. I am a music junkie, I am the first to say it. I love listening to the radio and jamming out and I just love music, and all kinds of it. So, I decided that since it's January and January is the month to "start new things", I decided that I am going to make a playlist each month of some of my favorite songs for you all to enjoy with me. Sound like a plan? I knew you would like it! (even if you don't like it, just pretend.) So, allow me to introduce you to the songs that you would find me singing under my breath.

 



Listen to this playlist on Spotify!

Or, just pick a song and listen to it on YouTube:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

 

Enjoy!

What was that?! Oh, just a kick in the butt.

Shalom, friends.

Hopefully you are all well rested from your weekend and got all of your complaining out about it being the begining of the week. I, frankly, never really know what day it is because I am still on a go-with-the-flow kind of schedule. Which, to be quite honest, is awesome but still totally crazy.

I WANT MY ORGANIZED LIFE BACK.

Okay, I am done blabbing about my non-hectic life.

 

But, I am adding a little bit of stress to my life. Dear Lord.

I am going on a no-carb and no-sugar diet for the week.

Wait. What?

Yes, that's exactly what I said when I had this bright idea.

My dad has been on the Atkins diet. I don't know if I want to go so extreme with this, but I am just going to try to avoid carbs and foods are filled with extra sugars. I don't think it's really going to be all that hard for me, I just need to not look at absolutely anything whenever I go to work. All that pasta, bread, Italian cookies, AH! But, I am going to do my best to atleast get it through this week. Pairing this new bread-less idea with a little bit of excercise every day, I want to try and get back into a new routine or healthier eating. This gal wants to be able to fit into a smaller size bathing suit this summer.

 

I know it's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it...eventually.

I mean this stuff is good and comforts me and is the best friend ever,

 

 

but this will be better in a few months, don't you agree?

 

Wish me luck!

It's OK Thursday.

Hello, sweet peas.

Nothing says "Happy Thursday" like a link-up.

So, let's get onto to todays scheduled planning, shall we?

 

 

It's ok...to go out on a Wednesday night and pretend like it's a weekend.

It's ok...to let things linger in your mind, even though it's torturing the crap outta you.

It's ok...to work on your day off, just to make your boss happy.

It's ok...to watch the People's Choice Awards and envy Taylor Swift and Lea Michele.

It's ok...to drink large amounts of caffeine to fill the void of actual food.

It's ok...to overthink everything and drive yourself to insanity. (this isn't really ok)

It's ok...to wear the same yoga pants two days in a row.

It's ok...to watch silly videos of the Glee Cast to make you feel better.

It's ok...to spend $15 on iTunes in under five minutes.

It's ok...to stay in your pajamas until the last ten minutes before you walk out the door.

It's ok...to do a link-up when your life stinks at blog content.
