So What Wednesday!

Oh.... So What Wednesday.

Tons of people do this thing...  Go see Shannon's page to check them all out!
This week, I say So What ......


  • oh, to the fact that I took the GRE --TWO WEEKS AGO-- today.  And STILL haven't gotten my freakin graduate application submitted yet.  I officially finished the last piece today, and hopefully will get that puppy in by Friday.  Hopefully.
  • if I want to buy 500 bags of Halloween candy for the little punks in our neighborhood.  I want to throw candy off my front porch in slow motion while the little kiddies pick it up like its fallin from a damn pinata.  Boyfriend doesn't agree.  That shit is expensive. 
  • if I've been cranking out baby beanies like its my day job.... while I'm at my day job....  Oh, the college kids can wait... I've got 5 more stitches to finish this row.... (wink, wink.  I kid, I kid.)
  •  Exhibit A:
  • if I don't think knitting is the thing for me.  I've knitted a section of like 15 rows.  Then effed it up and undid the whole dang thing.  I need to stick with crocheting.  I get that stuff.  I can do it fast.  I can do a million different things with it.  And quite frankly.... I don't care to learn to knit.  
  • now I have 4 pair of knitting needles, and don't wanna do it anymore. oops.
  • if I didn't do jack crap this weekend to clean our house.  We've had two dogs for the past 2 weeks.  I wanted to wait til the visitor left.  That was my excuse reasoning. And I've yet to take myself back up on that idea.  Seems like every night this week, there's been something come up....  Frozen yogurt on sale, dinner with my parents, babies being born.... hey, those things don't happen often.  Carpe freakin diem.  I'll do the dumb ish later.
  • if I'm counting down the days til Christmas.  Its my perogative.  Bobby Brown told me so.  (61 days in case you were wondering!)
  • if I'm also counting down the days til Thanksgiving, which means I can officially start Christmas decorating.  (28 days there....)
  • if I used to wonder why the hell people went all out decorating for holidays.  I always thought nobody would ever care about that crap.  Now I have my own house and it all makes freakin sense.  Iwannputbowsandcraponeverything!!!!!!  Like... seriously.  You just wait til Christmas.  Santa will puke on my house.  Promise.
  • if you judge me for this crap.  I.  Don't.  Care. :)
Hope you're having a happy hump day!!!!!

Fab Friday!!!

Happy Fab Friday folks!!!!!!  I've been a blog stranger this week.  But for good reason.  I'll tell you why in a sec.  However, I'm linking up with Laura at Between the Lines this week for her Fab Fridays!  I needed something exciting to round out the end of this crazy week!  Lots to talk about!

FIRST,  and most exciting.  I took the GRE on Wednesday.  And blew it out of the freaking water.  I have no idea how I did it.  I studied my behind off last weekend and Monday and Tuesday.  Maybe it was that hard work paying off, maybe it was God giving me a break and a boosting my confidence levels.  I had been doing math problems out of my @$$ for hours around 1 on Tuesday, telling whoever gave a crap what X equaled, when I finally finished a section and had only missed 3 out of the 20 questions.  85%.  Good enough for me.  Sounded like a good stopping point.  I quit studying.  Then I go in this dang test.  And you literally get the feeling like you're checking in for a 5 year prison sentence.  Check your stuff in a locker, empty your pockets, take off your watch, raise your sleeves and pant legs, GET WANDED WITH A METAL DETECTOR!!!!!  Seriously, what the hell people?!  I'm taking a test, not trying to get on a plane!  Anyways.  It turned out AWESOME.  I needed a score of 170 to get into my grad program.  I killed that ish with a 303!!!!!  BOOM!

Also fab is that I've gone on a crocheting spree here lately!!!  I've made four beanies so far.  Two for me, one for the boyfriend for hunting, and one for his friend he hunts with.  I'm done with hunter's orange thank you very much.  I've been commissioned by my cousin to make a couple for her babe too.  AND yesterday, I got overly ambitious and started a freakin HOODIE!  Not sure what I was thinking.  Its a huge project.  If I EVER finish it, I'll wear that sucker every damn day.  95 degrees and I'm in a bathing suit and hoodie.  Mark my words. 

I'm loving fall.  Everything about it.  Bonfires.  Leaves changing.  Colder.  Chili.  Hoodies and jeans.  I got a frickin pumpkin for $1.99 at Aldi the other day.  I'm gonna carve that sucker like a VW bus.  And I want a cocktail made of apple cider and spiced rum while I do it too. 


I hope you're all having a wonderful fall too!  I'll be back next week with some fun pinterest/crafty crap!  See you then!

So What Wednesday!

Ahhh... My favorite blog day of the week.  The day I get to LET. IT. OUT.  So What Wednesday.  You already know the premise here.  I link up with Shannon.  We whine and justify the mishappenings and oddities from the past week.  Boom.  Go check out her blog!!  Lots of ladies have linked up with her, and quite frankly, its hysterical to see what people say so what to.


Any who.......

Here's what I say so what to this week!!!!

  • So what if I've been dieting for two weeks and the scale hasn't moved.  I never trusted that scale to begin with.  I FEEL better and my clothes are fitting different.... but that damn scale! AGH!  So what.  So what.  So what.  Chant with me people......
  • So what if I don't count my coffee each morning in my daily calorie count.  Its going to happen regardless, so whats the point?  And no, I don't 
  • So what if I'm the poster girl for the Pinterest site?!  I'm loving that crap.  I secretly think that there was something similar to Pinterest all along and that's where Martha Stewart got all her ideas.  Cuz that broad doesn't seem half as crafty now that I have a website to consult before I do ANYTHING:  cook, sew, craft, crochet, get dressed, decorate my house... blah blah blah.....  I love that crap.  Lord help me if the site ever crashes..... I think I do at least one thing a day that I learned on there.
  • So what if I'm supposed to be studying for the GRE right now instead of blogging.  My brain seriously goes to mush when this freakin study book asks me to find the value of x.  I. Don't. Care.  And honestly, I'm never going to have to find the area of a triangle for the rest of my life.  I made it through my undergrad career and got my bachelor's degree, can't the master's program accept that as their proof that I'm not a blazing moron?!  AND save me $175 for this dang test.....
  • So what if I'm choosing my next semester's classes based on what books my co-workers have.  If one book costs flipping $170, I'll gladly take a class that my buddy has a book for and save that dough.  And I'll like it too. 
  • So what if I just keep talking about making an Etsy site.... and never do it.  Its the thought that counts right?!  Although, I do need to get on it.  I could seriously use the extra dough.  I just don't understand how some people have the time to work a full time job and crank out quilts and crap like its no big deal.  When I get home, I wanna eat and watch Jeopardy.  End of story.  But I guess I could be working on that crafty stuff while I watch TV.... shoot.  
  • So what if I want to put up the Christmas tree now?!  I promise I'll decorate it with little pumpkins until Thanksgiving!
What are you saying So What to this Wednesday????
