"Why are you in a dress?" "I'm having a really bad day."

Huzzah for a day off.

Yes I slept in but I was actually very productive.

Tested out that robot vacuum - Carter hates it, I'm gonna come home and it's gonna be in a pile in the corner - went grocery shopping - found a bunch of pop substitutes and am testing them out - wrote all my thank you cards - both graduation and Christmas - and did a bunch of laundry.

Also watched a marathon of America Unearthed.

Archaeologist obsessed with this hooked X mark.

Knights Templar.

Holy Grail.

Ark of the Covenant and all that.

My thought is if he wanted them to be found they would be found.

Plus what would happen to them if they're ever found?

Anyway, so far my pop substitutes are different types of flavored water.

I tried Nestle's wild berry Pure Life splash - it's nasty, avoid that.

So far Propel Zero berry is pretty good but we'll see how long that lasts.

I also got a limeade type of Propel Zero and a strawberry limeade generic Target brand.

Again, we'll see how long they last. Lots of other options out there.

Anyway, I feel accomplished. My apartment is clean, my fridge is stocked, my cat is happy cause the robot is back in its corner...

I swear I'm gonna come home and it's gonna be in pieces. Although I thought that about the Furby too and that's still in existence.

He just hates vacuums period. Every time I clean he runs.

Oh I also fixed my bed.

Yeah, forgot to mention that I broke that last night.

Rolled over and BOOM.

Pretty sure it woke the neighbors.

Sorry about that.

But it happens all the time. The problem is that the frame isn't actually attached to the headboard. And the only thing that keeps the mattress from the ground are boards lying across the frame. So when any of those shift they pop out and I'm on the floor.

It's problematic, but I think I fixed it.

For now that is.

What else?

Oh, while writing my thank you's I finally got around to watching Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters



Is it me or does Sloan Sloan play the same character in everything she's in? Cocky, obnoxious, spoiled... Grey's Anatomy, Hunger Games, now this? Can't wait to see what's next.

Scale of Awesome says 6/10.

That's all I got for today.

On to the music, more favorites from 2013.

Treasure - Bruno Mars


one of the rumored artists that may be in Milligan tomorrow. apparently they're filming a pepsi commercial there because it's halfway between los angeles and new york but it's a big secret as to who the act will be. though someone did see faith hill shopping today in g-town which could mean it's either her or tim mcgraw.

Thrift Shop - Macklemore and Lewis


i actually just recently started listening to this song all the way through. before it annoyed me but now it's grown on me.

legit pre-midnight post, holy crap tag in use.

Affirmative. I poked one. It was dead.

Big day today.

So I made my resolutions yesterday and I realized that it's basically the same stuff as always - minus the flossing thing.

In light of this realization I've decided to kick things up a notch.

I said I was going to live healthier, I'm going to start by giving up pop.

If you know me at all either your jaw dropped or you can now stop laughing.

I'm slightly obsessed with carbonated beverages, but that's the point, they're bad for you and it would be wise to stop drinking them so often.

So, I'm going to try to go a year without drinking pop.

Which means I need a substitute.

Today I tried vitamin water - it was nasty, but that could have been just the flavor I attempted.

I got some good ideas from people, but what about you? Any ideas for substitution?

Is sparkling water bad for you?

Anyway, I'm gonna start small with the no more pop thing - okay, so it's not really small but we're gonna see how long it lasts - and then work my way up to going to the fitness center twice a week and all that.

Today was big for other reasons as well, it's the boyfriend and my two year anniversary.

I know, right?

And don't even try to hide it. I know those of you who made it to my grad party came only to make sure he wasn't a figment of my imagination.

Originally we were supposed to do something family related, but after realizing that wasn't romantic we skipped out on that and went out to dinner by ourselves instead.

I dared him into eating a jalapeno. I'm pretty sure he's puking it up at this very instant.

I would be.

After realizing his pop was not stopping the pain he drank half my tea cause it was more helpful.

See, tea, better for you than pop in more ways than one.

But he had to work tonight so he headed out after dinner and I stayed in and watched Miss Congeniality 2.

Huzzah for Interlibrary Loans.



Scale of Awesome says 6.5/10. Not as good as the first one, but entertaining nonetheless.

If you haven't seen the movie watch this clip and call it good.



Well that and the return of that redhead from Charmed, Red, and god knows what else she's guest starred in.

I forgot she even has her on tag on here but I can never remember her name.

She'll always be Natalie to me.

And that's all I got.

Song of the day plus more of my favorites from 2013:

Humans are Dead (live) - Flight of the Conchords


posted the episode version of this a while ago, but just found this one and love it.

binary solo still gets me.

more from 2013:

Roar - Katy Perry


similar to Sara's "Brave" but good nonetheless.

Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke feat. Pharrell and TI


i hate that i like this song cause i really don't like him. plus this video is just weird, the only reason i put up with it is pharrell's dance moves.

and i'm out.

have a good weekend.
