Mondays are back

It's MONDAY!

Any-who, today was my my first day of sped student teaching.

Hopefully it will be a good experience :) 

  

...but most importantly 

Mondays are the Bachelorette!!!

If you missed the premiere last week, click here to watch it on abc

If you have followed my blog for awhile, you know that my mom and I absolutely love the Bachelorette and we always get together every Monday night to veg out, dish on the ladies/gentlemen and make predictions! 

It is quite entertaining and a good girls night to say the least!

Here are our latest rankings.

PLEASE let me know who's your favorite! I would love to hear your thoughts.

Harley is approving our opinions ;)

 We actually had differing opinions. I was so surprised!
During the show, we cannot tell each other our thoughts.
After, we compare our scores and pick our favorites!

My thoughts!

Moms thoughts!

 .Episode One Snippets.

The old lady you saw on the preview was there to support her grand-daughter. Very cliche, and fairly stupid in my opinion. Whatever.

The girl from Nebraska did not portray an adequate picture of my state. at all.please disregard any information that she stated. I do not eat cow nuts. I am NOT that girl, nor are most people from here.

Emily did a fantastic rap. I absolutely loved it. it too, was cliche, yes but original. I could never come up with these lyrics. I give her mad props. check it out.

Monica is just a flat out b. She is incredibly rude. beware viewers.

Jenna is a blogger from NYC. I do not believe that she accurately portrays us bloggers either. We do not act like that :) 

Anyways. 

Yes the Bachelor is rather stupid and getting redundant, but if you don't watch  it... you should! It is a wonderful guilty pleasure that I would love to talk about with y'all!

T - 1 minute till' it airs!

Sunday Tag

Happy Sunday!

  Do you know the author Baily J, of the wonderful blog The Middle? 

If not, you should definitely check out her totally real, honest, and inspirational blog :)

I just KNOW you will love it.

Anyways, Bailey tagged me in a post and asked a couple questions.

I love to do little surveys and such so here it goes!

ONE

Why is your favorite color your favorite color?

Honestly. I had to think about this question for a bit. I don't really have a "favorite" color per-Se, but I really love black for my clothing color choice - and B&W have always been my favorite. why? well most definitely because it makes ever flaw you have that much less-noticeable. It doesn't hide all my trouble areas, but it sure makes me feel a tad better!

TWO

Have you ever been in trouble with the law?

Nope. nada.never.

Except my four speeding tickets. 

Do those count? ;)

THREE

If you could go to one place in the entire world for one week, free of charge, where would you go?

FREE of charge! Oh gee. Anywhere, honestly. I just want to get out of the country and explore the world. There are many beautiful and unique places I would love to go to, but on my top priority list is Australia... (then Ireland & Poland).

FOUR

If you could take on person with you, who would it be?

To Australia, my boy of course! To Ireland and Poland, it would have to be my mom. We have talked about visiting together for quite some time now :)

FIVE

If there was one disease that you could cure (that doesn't already have one) what would it be and why?

First. I would love for people to find a cure for so many health conditions, especially invisible diseases, and also those that do not get a lot of attention.

Next, the THREE diseases/syndromes that I would LOVE a cure for are EDS, Lupus and Dysautonomia.

**my personal reasoning**

SIX

What is your guilty pleasure?

Trashy, stupid, pointless, but oh so entertaining reality television. 

I do not know what I would do without my cherished DVR. It makes watching television shows that much easier and enjoyable. 

SEVEN

What is your least favorite acronym?

Well, it's not really an acronym. I can't stand when I am texting my friends or when I receive emails that are written half-assed and just stupid. excuse my french. Okay, here is what I mean...

Scenario 1: Erin. Wutz ^? How r u 2day?  Not 2 Much here. g2g. Call me soon. L8er.

I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just find that now-a-days people are so illiterate and take this casual writing into their daily work. Not acceptable.

EIGHT

Would you rather have 12 toes or a huge nose?

twelve toes. definitely. I can hide those easily, but a big nose? That is front and center! Anyways, my man has a rather large nose and if I too had a big on, that means my future little ones would be screwed for life. I don't think they would appreciate that. he-he :)

NINE

Who was your favorite Backstreet Boy?

First. Backstreet Boys were so much better than N'sync :) 

To answer the question, Brian was my favorite!

Perfect fan was my favorite song...made me cry.

TEN

What is the one electronic device you wouldn't miss at all?

My DVD player. I never use it. I watch entirely too much television that there is no need for a DVD player. If I really want to, I will find it online or order it from my television service. 

ELEVEN

If you wanna be my lover, do you got to get with my friends?

(love the spice-girls reference f.y.i)

YES! That's a major must.

friendship never ends.

ha-ha.

Does questions number SEVEN bother you too?

Tomorrow is a BIG day for me.

Stay tuned!

New Year = New Beginning

Hello Friends! Happy 2012 :) 

Oh gosh, it's been one week since I have last posted. It seems like a lifetime.
Okay, slight exaggeration, but it feels like forever.

...So what have I been doing?

drum roll please....
I am officially done applying for graduate school! Whooooo. (insert scream here).
Applications to the University and the districts are all complete! Now it's a waiting game.

The grad school opportunity I applied for would pay for my masters degree AND I would finish in fourteen months. Totally awesome, right? So pretty much, 14 months of work and hell for one FREE, awesome degree! I will totally take the bait and go to school to increase my future pay if someone else is willing to pay for it! Who wouldn't?!

Double bonus. Yesterday, I got my first call and I am in the process of finding a time to go interview! I couldn't be more excited (and absolutely nervous as heck) to begin my future!

This is actually rather anti-climatic.
It has been 60 degrees in Nebraska! In January!
Crazy...

Before I start my last semester of my student teaching and dive into the interviews, I must enjoy this one last weekend of my holiday break! G'night friends and enjoy your weekend!

What are your future plans? Anything exciting thus far in 2012?
