Okay guys, been doing my catching-up-on-my-dailies deal, and I came upon this thought in my head...
How many of you actually share your blog with your people in real life???
Hell, my boyfriend barely knows that I have a Twitter, let alone a blog. And I've been with him for 2 1/2 years. There is literally not another soul that I know in person that knows I have a Twitter...and a blog? Fuh-gett-about-it.
Now, mind you, the majority of my friends don't do "the Twitter thing" and don't really understand it (which...if you don't have friends that use Twitter, then yeah, it is kind of pointless)...so that clears me on that one.
The blog thing though? From what I've seen, most of us DON'T share out little corners of the Interwebz with those near and dear to us that are technologically incompetent. And while I'm not spreading my stuff around, I also don't understand WHY we still treat blogs like they're so taboo? Are we afraid of being judged for what we write, how we write, or our design ideas? Just embarrassed to be caught with a blog? I don't know.
Feel free to leave your input y'all. I'm curious as to your feelings on the subject!

Mini Target Haul
Yep, I hit up Target last week and did a bit of a haul. I also got some Muddy Buddies and Drumsticks, but those were already in the fridge/freezer.
So...what did I get, and what did I think of the stuff I already tried?
-Goody Color Collection bobby pins. Eh, they're bobby pins. What kind of a review are you expecting here? If only I didn't manage to mysteriously lose them all and then find half a pack in my sofa at random points in my life. I still really don't know what happened to my last pack, really.
-Not Your Mother's Clean Freak dry shampoo - OMG, I LOVE THIS. I've seen it a few places in the YouTube world and I was always highly addicted to by Got2Be dry shampoo. I saw this and figured...hey, it's cheaper than my other stuff and it can't be any worse than my Tresemme crap. It smells SO GOOD and works AMAZINGLY. Go buy this stuff, seriously. I think it was about $5 at my Tar-jay.
-Bodycology XOXO body lotion. It smells nearly identical to my Be Enchanted stuff from Bath and Body Works for a fraction of the price. So, ya know. Good in my books.
-75 pack of Goody Ouchless hair elastics. Again, they're hair ties. If they don't ever stretch out or get lost, then they'd be a miracle.
-Maybelline's The Rocket mascara in waterproof black. I haven't used it yet. I'll get back to you. But once again, it's a YouTube/blogger phenomenon, so I hope I'm not disappointed.
-Rimmel ScandalEyes waterproof kohl eyeliner in deep blue. HOLY COW I LOVE THIS. It claims it's waterproof and smudgeproof, which on my watery, allergy-prone eyes, is a high claim. And it exceeded my expectations, even on my freakin' WATERLINE. I've been wearing this daily and it's my new favorite thing.
-Revlon Lash Potion in waterproof black. How could I NOT get this, just for the packaging alone? I've seen it a few places online with mediocre reviews, but I love this stuff. It's got a slightly drier formula, but it's wonderful! I can do two coats and have my lashes look awesome. Plus, the packaging is so adorable I can't stand it!
What have you hauled from Target lately?

Spring Fever VoxBox
Yes, I did indeed get picked for the Spring Fever VoxBox. I was actually pretty excited for it once I received it in the mail about a month ago.
I have tried a few of the products thus far, and two of them I still need to try to work with.

Negativity
So...I kind of had a freakout session on Friday night.
I have been stressing myself out to the max lately. I mean, really. I'm at work 80 hours a week, learning a new job basically 50% of the time, while trying to keep myself sane the other 50% of the time. I also am having tests...which I'm not going to lie, have NOT been turning out so great because I haven't had adequate time to study.
I finally lost it driving home on Friday night. Some of the girls I work with (and actually like) and I were going to go out. Well...I made it to the club after work and realized I had nobody's number. Mind you, this is a big club...like it has two stories to it. After having been up since 5:00am, I wasn't in the mood to walk into some club at 11:30 at night trying to find these girls. So...I just drove back home. But, I bawled my eyes out the entire way.
I'm probably going to lie on Monday and say I couldn't find my ID or something. Because really, even walking into a neighborhood bar that holds maybe 100 people by myself is intimidating for me. I panic about that crap so easily and I KNOW. I shouldn't be like that. It's embarrassing and a huge personality flaw for me. I am not the girl that can just walk into a place and make friends.
But anyhow. Crying in my car. Driving half an hour home on the interstate. I started questioning EVERYTHING. My relationship, my job, my friends, school, EVEN MY FREAKING CHOICE IN CAR (which I adore my car. It's a 2012 Honda Civic, so I'm not driving a Corvette or anything, but it's comfy and in my price range and drives well).
I've been having relationship problems for...well, awhile. It comes in spurts. It's been going well the past week or so, but I just lost it on Friday night. My job drives me insane and I was literally about to lose it at work on Friday because one of my coworkers is so damn abrasive it isn't even funny. And when I lose it at work, I disappear to the bathroom for 10-15 minutes and bawl because I get so frustrated. Yes, that's what I do when I get mad, is go cry. And this whole past week, I've just been so miserable because I see what it is that I'm dying to be doing to a living and yet I'm stuck in a place that is SO horrible for me mentally. My friends...I have a few friends I work with, but I've lost touch with most of my friends I had in college. And I miss a lot of them. Some of them I was only friends with for 2 years, some of them I was friends with for longer. I miss going out with them and seeing them and sitting on the porch until 5am talking and listening to music. I started missing that life I had so much, and even typing this out I'm tearing up. I had such a solid group of friends and a neighborhood bar and just...such a better mindset 3-5 years ago. I'm sitting here, typing this out more for my benefit, realizing that part of the reason I have become so bitter is the toxic environment that I work in and some of the relationships I hold with people. I'll always be a snarky bitch, that's just in my personality, but the way I am right now...I hate it.
So...in the coming months, I have a lot of choices to make. I have a couple of things I'm working toward, work-wise, that I am excited about but I can't be sure of if/when they'll happen. I have to make decisions about my relationship. I have to decide if I really want to stay here or move somewhere else. I should probably make the choice to reconnect with at least some of the friends that I've lost over the past 3 years.

MIA but Returning Soon!
Yes, I'm fully aware I've been missing for 3 months.
I have a damn good excuse, that being school.
Yeah, I posted last in March. Yes, March y'all. Sorry. I had a crapton of finals and such, then I had to go out to classes for 3 weeks in April. Then, as soon as I got back (the last week of April), I started working/interning for 80 hours a week.
...No, no typo there. EIGHTY HOURS PER WEEK. I'm there from 6:45am until 11:15pm most days. Give or take a few minutes. Please mind you, I've also been working every other weekend, so I have two days per week that I'm only there for 8 hours. But I digress.
So, yes, I AM still alive and sort of kicking, given the circumstances.
This blog WILL be coming back, though it still won't be super frequent posting, simply because I don't have the mental energy to do it.
However, I'm currently scheduling 2 posts to be up within the next week or so. One of which will be published tomorrow because I need to get some crap out into cyberspace and I don't really have anyone to discuss it with in real life. Well, I do...but she has her own ish to be messing with/worrying about. And trust me, y'all aren't getting the full story because I don't know who's going to be reading this.
Anyhow. Today was my day completely off from work and internship, and I didn't get out of bed until I had been in bed for 12 hours and then I proceeded to watch YouTube videos, catch up on some blogs, watch Made of Honor/Keeping up with the Kardashians (which hello, how behind am I? Oh right, haven't had a chance to watch good trash in a few months...yes, first world problems right here), and eat.
Not going to lie. Working 16 hour days makes you lose weight. I'm not trying to scarf down food before work/on my way to work, oftentimes including Chick-fil-A or something worse...I'm maybe eating something light at 6:00 (or at 9:00, depending on how my stomach feels), then having a fairly light lunch, then a somewhat substantial dinner. I cut out my late-night-after-work eating, as well as my nearly-nightly beers. Plus, while stressing myself out, I've been giving myself GI problems. Yes, TMI, but when the food doesn't stay with you long, you can't absorb the calories. I've also been having issues from too much processed food...so uh...that's keeping me eating better.
Anyhow. Tomorrow (well, later today at this point) there will be another blog post up! Not quite as peppy as this one, but like I said...issues to get off my chest.
