Welcome!

Well HI :] Hey, there's a newcomer in the crowd- everyone say "HI!"

Okay, back to business....You know, as well as I do.. that summer is a busy, busy time. I am not about to spend all my waking S.P.A.R.E.(queue "quote" fingers) time staring at the computer(my job requires this also)... altho I wish I had the attention span for it! :)

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt?? You say...?

WHY YES, I DO have a life :] (teehee silly you)


I know, hard to fathom.
But, you deserve some treats. You have waited oh-so-delightfully-patient, like a good dove, and your reward will not be in vain! I have some stocked up pictures that I'm saving for a few story-time-days... You know, when it's gray outside... and you have nothing else to do.... fall back on my picture-stories :)

You guys know that internet meme regarding the "Dos Equis Beer Guy"....?
I did one :}

"I don't always drink tea, but when I do... I wear a cape."

I TOLD you you'd be rewarded ;) Feel free to mock. You know it's great.

Happy Tuesday. 

<3 bex...

Things I've been up to...

What have you been up to?

Spelunking? Designing secure entries in underground tunnels for the President? Shredding documents that bear social security numbers? Restocking books at your Barnes & Noble job? Me neither. BUT HOLY SMOKES have I been on busy-overload. Lemme Es'plain....

 

I am training hard for some dirty, filthy, fun thing that's gonna happen in June. Therefore I am at the gym 5 days a week(phew). That in itself, takes up 2 hours of my day because of travel, changing, and showering time. Then I have class 4-5 days a week as well; this is from 10-11:30ish. I work part time from 1-5pm Mon-Fri, too. Plus I have a particular 2 hour(usually) bracket dedicated to Wednesday nights. Also Tuesday & Thursday night engagements that require preparation and study.

Where is my bracket for laundry?

Where do I fit in maintaining my health? My makeup? Cleaning my bathroom?

DON'T get me wrong here... I am in no way complaining! :)
I absolutely love my busy schedule.

I love the fact that it keeps my mind engaged and always revolving, anticipating the next event; stimulating creative parts of my brain that I haven't used in a while. That is sincerely priceless to me. It's the small things, right? 

And so now I've added another task for myself. I am planning ... Ah-HEM... an Event. It's not a blog event, it's just something I need to do(that might be mildly HUGE), and something I've been meaning to do for a year now. You'll see pictures in about 2 months when it's over, but SHHH I can't tell you what it is. You understand, right? I'll show you pictures of other things, now though :) Ready? Me too!!

 

I went here between work & school the other week, to catch up on reading & some vitamin D. I've realized that whenever POSSIBLE that I have 10-30 minutes of free time, and it's somewhat sunny outside- I HAVE to take advantage, and sit outside for mental recovery from running around in whirlwinds. What a blessing :] Relaxation is such a gift.

 Being crazy is also a gift :)

Recently.... I revived my love for all things orange(not counting soda, of course). Remember that Nickelodeon(oh hey, the Nick logo is orange, too right??) show back in the late 90's called "Kenan & Kel?" Remember how Kenan would entice Kel into doing some-mischievous-thing for him, by bribing him with orange soda?

Kenan: "WHO. LOVES. ORANGE. SODA?
KELLLLLLL Loves orange soda."

Kel: "I do, I do, I DO-OOOOOH!"

Guess who else had a serious orange soda addiction in her younger years? This dude. Check it out. I've been eating oranges like they're goin' outta style. And it doesn't fulfill my craving for them, either. Weird, huh?

You succulent little darling.

*le sigh*

ANYWHO. That's what I've been up to. Enjoying life :)

Now tell me about your recent enjoyments/disappointments & we'll figure out how to either make them better, or how to get you to visit me so we can have an adventure for me to share with all our friends :)

xoxo, bex

ahhh facebook.

So I made a serious mistake yesterday...

And I'm going to talk about it. lol....

cause that's what I do.

I copied and re-posted this onto my FB wall, 

 "Like my status & I'll tell you:

1.Something I've learned about you by looking at your wall for 13 seconds
2.The color you remind me of

3. My first memory of you...
4.The animal you remind me of..
5. Ask something I've always wondered about you
6. My favorite thing about you

7. Give you a weird nickname "

because -HEY- it was going around... 

-and- I had never done it before. 

I thought to myself, in an optimistic tone: 

"Self, not many people will 'like' it so it'll 

just be a fun little exercise."

WRONG.

I think I can safely say I got about 20 'like's' which as you have guessed, translates into 20x's filling out that STUPID 7-question-survey and trying to not give out LAME answers to my friends. Because they know I write. And they probably are laughing at me right now, for writing about it. BUT HEY... : ) I'm okay with that.

Wanna see some of my answers? Of course you do...


To my friend, whom I call Soul-mate 
(we have an ODDLY similar opinions of things, yet different ways of presenting them):
" 1.You need to get on FB more, so I will be more entertained  
4.Fox. Sneaky & Sly 
5.Can I borrow your hair, to try it... for a week? 
6.My favorite thing about you: You say out loud, what I'm thinking in my head!! :) EVERY. TIME! 7.SOUL-MATE. I THINK WE'RE DONE HERE."

To my friend, KP(aka Barbie! ;] )

"1. You love to love!

4. Baby Seal because you're so cute! & Love the water!

6. You've always been sweet & warm &loving to me, even tho we've never REALLY gotten to know each other like best friends should ;) "

To an old friend from school, Bum-Smella! 

(HAHA oh man. It has no relevance to her in real life, I promise.)

5. I've never had the chance to ask "HOW THE HECK ARE YA?!"

6. My favorite thing about you is that you have no issue telling people how it is.

I know, I could have done better, but holy cow people. I've got TWENTY to fill out. Only about 8 down. AND Facebook isn't opening for me today(CAN YOU SAY GLITCH!?), so they might have to wait 'til Monday! yikes.

I'm going to the Sounders game tonight, folks! WOOHOO!! 

I even wore a blue sweatshirt for support! ;) 

Some of you might say I wear it all too often....

BUT ANYWAY <3 you, dove-faces!!

please please please please please PLEASE be safe this weekend. : )

xoxo!! bex.

todays observation

my hands are tied
your mind's divide
keeps you locked in your place
but my hands are tied, I keep it right.
I'll ignore your enlightening revisions now.




and back to my vanilla tea <3
