My Bestie Has Turned 21 =)

I'm so excited that my best friend, Jackie, has finally turned 21. She no longer has to rely on me or anyone else to buy her alcohol! Last night we had a party for her over at my old house and it was so much fun. Jackie didn't know if she would end up having a good time because she thinks the guys that live there now don't really like her but I told her that she was going to have a blast because I was going to be there. If one of us isn't there we usually don't have the best time because there aren't many girls that hang out with our group so there aren't many girls that are over there on a regular basis and even when Dakota is there, she is the one to always get really drunk and she mostly is with the guys anyway (She is way more like a dude than she is a girl :P) But anyway, Jackie ended up having a really fun time, and the boys let her listen to what music she wanted, because they usually don't. And our other friends Porcha and Asia were also there, who are Jackie's new roommates. I'm really glad she had a good time because it was her 21st birthday so she had to have a good time :P

Jackie, the birthday girl

The birthday girl and I

Porcha, Dakota, me, and Jackie

Tonight we are all going out to dinner and then out to the club. I wasn't planning on going out to dinner with the group because I don't have any money to each but Jackie insisted that I go and she would pay. I really don't want her to because it is HER birthday but she insisted and told me that it was her birthday dinner and it wouldn't be the same without me so, I said ok, because I didn't want to offend her or make her upset on her birthday.

Then for the club were going to the same place we went for my birthday because every Saturday they have dollar drink night. I hate spending a fortune on drinks when we go out so we always go out with there are specials.

I also wanted to announce that I'm going to start making my own jewelry and sell it on Etsy. I wanted to blog about this earlier in the week but the power cord to my boyfriend's computer is no longer fixable so we have to wait until we have money to buy a new battery. Luckly, my friends John and Jeremy are coming up on Wednesday and they have my laptop so they are bringing that with them. They were suppose to come up this weekend for Jackie's birthday but were unable to.

Anyway, my boyfriend was talking about how he wanted to sell this cloth that one of his coworkers, at Sears, is selling. Its this amazing cloth (which goes by that name, or something like it) and Kody was able to clean his entire car with it and it looked like he had just gotten back from the car wash. All he did was take the cloth to it and it cleaned up all the water spots that were on the car. I thought he did go to the car wash but he said he didn't. So he want's to start selling that around at all the car businesses in town. It is originally to be used around the house but apparantly it can be used for other things as well.

While he was getting excited about selling this cloth, I was wondering what I could do to rake in some money. It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to find a job anytime soon because my car still needs fixed and then it needs tags and insurance, and by the time that happens our phones will probably be shut off because we haven't had the money to pay them in a couple months. So I got to thinking, and I thought of all the girls around the blogisphere that sell their homemade jewlery on Etsy so I thought, I should do that to. And Kody said he used to make and sell jewery with his brother, when they were younger and needed money, so he said they he would help me. We wen't to Micheal's just to get an idea of what kind of beads and stuff they had, so when Kody get's paid next week, were going to go back and buy some stuff. Hopefully we will have the money to do so, because I'm really excited to start this and start raking in some money myself.

So what do ya guys think? Do you think I could do it?

Polyvore ♥

I've been following Leetid and her blog Life of Leetid and she always has these sets she has made on Polyvore. I love all the sets she makes, they are so cute, so I decide to start making some sets of my own. I love fashion and I love finding really cute sets to wear out and what not.

So here is the first set I made. Just an outfit to wear out to the club. I love pink and black together.

Nice Little Sunday Afternoon

I just love spending Sunday afternoons with Boyfriend. He now has every Sunday off work so we will have more great Sunday afternoons to spend together.

Kody's grandma was nice enough to send up some money, because we needed more to live on, and I didn't want to ask my mom for more than she was already giving us. So we were happy that we were able to go see UP after all. We were sad that we didn't have enough money to go this week.

First we went and got his his hair cut. I love his long shaggy hair, but it was getting way too long and it was starting to look like a mullet, so we got it cut. I was scared they would cut it too short, but they did good. It's still long and shaggy, but its not in his eyes, which was the point of getting it cut. After getting it cut we decided to walk around the mall, but we got into a little disagreement and had to leave and go out to the car to talk it out. And we made up, pretty quickly, just like we normally do. We just had a little disagreement, it was nothing too serious. I'm just glad we got it all worked out. So after our little misunderstanding we just decided to go to McDonalds and get some ice cream because we had half an hour until the movie started.

But then it was finally time to go see UP and I was so excited because I've been wanting to see this movie since I saw the preview at the Hannah Montana movie. It just looked so funny and cute, I couldn't wait to see it. And it defiantly exceeded my expectations. It was one of the cutest movies I've ever seen. I loved it. I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages. And after the movie we went to get ice cream from Wal Mart because I really wanted sprinkles on it, and Mcdonalds doesn't have sprinkles for their ice cream.

And now I'm just sitting at home, waiting for the series premier of Kendra on E! I love the Girls Next Door and Kendra is my favorite, so I'm so excited that she is getting her own show since she found love and is now getting married. I'm so happy and excited for her. It was defianatly the time for her to move out of the mansion and to experience life as she should. She has never been on her own before, so there is no better time than now for her to experience the great things in life. Like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and everything else. I love Kendra and I think she is so funny so I know I'm gonna love her new show.

Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend =)

Things Are Starting to Look Up

If you have been reading my blog, and you read my post that I added a couple days ago, you'll know that boyfriend and I have been having some financial problems. Well, I thought everything would be fine, or we would at least be able to make rent and buy a few groceries, but that wasn't the case.

Kody got his check last night and it turned out we were a hundred dollars short for rent. My heart dropped when we found out. All I could do was cry, because he works so hard at work, and I just felt terrible. He just found out that his commission was lowered from 9% to 4%, when the other departments are still at 9%. And it turns out he got a couple orders returned on him so that was why his check was lower than it was suppose to be.

We had no choice but to ask someone for help. We both hate asking for help, but we had to put our pride aside and just do it, because we really had no other choice. So, I called up my mom this morning and I told her what was up and that we needed money, so she was willing to wire us some money to pay the rest of rent. I feel so grateful to her, and I am so appreciative that she let us borrow the money to get by. She knows how much I hate asking for help, and I've never asked her for money, during the three years I've been on my own. I'm just so glad she let us borrow the money. And as soon as we get the money to pay her back, that is what we are doing.

We also got some more good news today! Kody and I have been trying to sell some books on Amazon and we got our first buyer today! He bought my old physics book from last year for abotu $30 bucks. Unfortunatly, it went to Kody's old account which has a negative balance because the check we gave to Meijer two weeks ago went through and it went over .11 in the account. After we deposit a couple more dollars into that account, we will no longer have that to worry about. I was kind of disapointed that we wouldn't have that extra money but at least we won't have to pay that money back later and we wont get another fee added on.

Despite the fact that we had to ask my mom to help us pay for rent, I'm so happy, and I hope that things continue to get better. I try not to let the worrying overcome me, but last night it did. Usually Kody is the one to do all the worrying, but for once it was me. But he reminded me, and himself, that it's not the end of the world and we aren't going to roll over and die because of this one thing. The summer is going to be hard, but as soon as school starts and we get our refund checks we'll have some money to help us pay for rent and credit cards. We may not have any money to go out tonight, but at least we have a roof over our heads and food on the table. We also have each other, and those are the most important things right now.

Money Problems Suck!

So, my boyfriend and I have been having a lot of money problems lately. Well it's been for awhile now. We just moved into a new apartment, which I love so much, and it looks like we may have to move out because we just can't afford it. Rent is 600 a month and Kody's paid last month's rent by himself and he is going to have to pay this upcoming month's rent himself. I keep telling him that it's not going to be this way for long, just the summer, because after school starts we will both get our refund checks from school. He will have to use his to pay off his credit card but I can use mine for my part of rent. Speaking of his credit card, that's one reason we may have to move again. The credit card company keeps calling him, and this time they actually have a real person calling and not a reminder recording message telling him he needs to pay up. They have a real person who called 10 times a day and sometimes like 15 minutes after another. He is so worried they will cancel his card and that is the only way he can get his credit up, but right now its making his credit go down. And my credit is already messed up with the medical bills I need to pay from last year. Our phones are close to being shut off because we can't afford to pay for them (stupid addicting Blackberrys!) and even if I did find a job I wouldn't have a way there because Kody needs to fix the power steering pump so I can actually drive it. He also owes the gas company like $400 from when we lived at the house. I just don't know what to do anymore and he is so worried about it I just don't know how to make him feel better. He tells me sometimes he feels so alone sometimes and feels like he is the only one worrying about this. I worry about it, I just don't let it overcome me. I just don't know what to do. Just a while ago he was looking for a cheaper apartment but then we need to know if they have any apartments open and then we need to find someone to take over this apartment and we would have to pay a $50 fee to get out of our lease. I just don't know what to do....

A Girls Night and Upcoming Concert

Last night I got together with my besties and we had a little girls night. It was nice because I haven't really hung out with them much lately. I'm usually just sitting at home with boyfriend everynight and the only time I see them is on the weekends when we all go to the house to drink. But last night was ladies night at one of the local bar/club. Ladies got $5 for walking through the door, so that was good considering I hate going to clubs or bars unless its dollar drink night because I'm poor and don't want to spent that much money on drinks. So Jackie and I sat at her house drinking some Jooses while we waited for Dakota to get there. After taking some pictures we finally left a little before midnight. I had such a fun time just dancing and hanging out with my girls. Jackie's 21'st is coming up soon so were gonna do it again soon =)

Jackie, Dakota, and I

In other news: MILEY CYRUS IS GOING ON TOUR THIS FALL!!!! Were so excited. Jackie and I have planned on going for awhile now. We have just been waiting for her to announce her tour. Now we have to wait until tickets go on sale Monday. We've planned to go on October 7th, in Columbus, Ohio. I have to ask my mom for the money since I'm poor and have no job. Besides, she never got me a birthday present, so I'll just put it that way for her. My sister, Ashlee also planned on going with us, and that's the day after her birthday, so she asked her mom to get her a ticket for her birthday. Dakota will also probably go, since she just said a couple weeks ago that we all should go to a concert this time (her and Jackie saw Hanson, when they were on tour.) I'm so beyond excited!!! I've only ever been to one concert before (All-American Rejects) but I know this will be the best concert we've ever been to!

Anyway, did I say I was excited =)

So, here are 6 un/important things that make me happy =)

#1 SHOES

I love shoes whether or not they are flip flops or heels. I have a pair of flip flops in like every color that I wear the most of and Old Navy flip flops are my favorite. I also own a ton of heels. I have multiple ones in the same color. I have a weak spot for a good priced pair of heels so I'm always looking for a pair of shoes for a really cheap price.

#2 MONKEYS

I'm pretty much obsessed with monkeys. I have a pretty nice collection of stuffed monkeys. My favorties are the monkey I made a few years ago at Build-A-Bear with a purple fairy dress (Her name is Maple), the purple monkey I got my senior year of high school from all the underclassman woodwind section in band at senior night, and the pink monkey I got my freshman year of college from my secret Valentine. Although, I love all my monkeys because they are all so darn cute =)

#3 THE COLOR PINK

Pink is definatly my favorite color and if it comes in pink, I mostly likely have it. I'm totally obsessed with the color. Like I said, I'm a big girly girl and pink is definatly a girly girl color. Some things I have that are pink are my Blackberry, my digital camera, my toothbrush, my hair dryer, a couple pairs of heels, tons of nail polish, my favorite blanket, my body pillow, my dresser, shoe holder, laundry basket, and a couple handbags. There are probably many other things but I have so much pink crap I can't think of if all ;)

#4 TELEVISION

I'm not gonna lie...I watch way to much television. I'm always watching Disney Channel because I love Hannah Montana and most of the other shows they have on there. I love the documentaries on A&E and some of the reality shows on E! TLC and VH1. I also like the documentaries they have on E!. My favorite shows are One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost.

#5 BLACKBERRY

I've only had my Blackberry for a few months but I love it! It's got everything I need in one. It's a phone, computer, digital camera, and MP3 player all in one! Sure its a little scratched up and the screen is cracked in a couple places, but its one amazing phone! And of course I had to get it in pink ;) I love it that when I leave the house and the comfort of my computer I can still get onto Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger of course! Which are three other things that make me happy but I can only list 6...

And the finale thing that makes me happy...

#6 MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

I don't know where I would be without my friends and family and my boyfriend. I am who I am because of them and they are the reason I'm here. My family is so supportive of the things I do and my friends are the best friends a girl can have. I know that they will always be there for me. And my boyfriend is my true love and I know he is my soul mate. I feel so lucky to have these people in my life =)

So there you have it...6 un/important things that make me happy...

The 6 blogs I'll tag will be...

1. Nic at Pinknic's Planet
2. Christa at According to Christa
