So there I am, sitting in the dentist chair weeping uncontrollably.

Hello Beautiful People!

Okay sorry for the long wait in between posts. I've been recovering from my wisdom teeth extraction. And I'm STILL recovering. I called the oral surgeon this morning because I was out of drugs and NEED more. Still in unbearable pain. They said that definitely wasn't normal and should come in. So I left work an hour early and guess what? I have dry sockets. Fabulous. Not just one, but two! So the surgeon put in this medicated gauze stuff, which was fine. Well, fine until he stuck it in the side that was hurting more. Yeah, he tried to shove it in the dry socket with this pointy metal thing. Holy Crap! Of course, it came right back out on the first time, so he had to do it again. Twice the pain--awesome. So there I am, sitting in the dentist chair weeping uncontrollably. I've honestly never been in so much pain. Whew, glad it is over. I still have some pain, but it is like 10x better than before. Hopefully the medication doesn't wear off before I have to go back in on Wednesday at 8am to get new gauze put in. Yes, that's right. I get the joy of going back to the oral surgeon to have it done all over again probably at least two more times. Greatness...not. Okay that's enough of the complaining...

The Emmy's were on last night. I'm not really one for watching award shows, unless Caitlin has hold of the remote. But yesterday was a different story. I was miserable and there was nothing on TV because I finished watching Weeds. They were pretty fabulous.  I really with The Office would've won an award. I feel like they probably never will. Sad day. Oh, and LOST won nothing major! Okay, really?! It was an INCREDIBLE show and this was there last season. So nothing? Nothing at all? Ridiculous! I'm super pumped Jane Lynch won for Glee and John Lithgow for Dexter. Amazingness!

And onto some new movies I definitely want to see...
Legend of the Guardians (It's about Owls--YAY!)
Easy A (Penn Begley--Yum!)
Tangled (Animated movie about Rapunzel)
You Again (Amazing Actresses!)
The Social Network (Justin Timberlake. Enough Said.)
It's Kind Of A Funny Story (Zach Galifianakis)

Yes, there's a lot. And yes, I know I won't see them all but whatever. A girl can dream. : )

PAIN

I'm sitting here in the Owl House, praying my mouth heals. I got all four wisdom teeth cut out yesterday and I'm in so much pain. It definitely could be worse, but I've never been in so much pain.

I started at the Admission Office on Monday, but obviously I haven't been able to go back today or yesterday. I wish I could be at work but I'm in too much pain on and off to deal with working or even speaking. It is nice to have a little bit of a break, but not under these conditions.

To make things even better, I keep getting the hiccups. Within the last four hours, I've had them three times. It is horrible. I'm also straving and everything sounds amazing, but I cannot eat anything. Well, only soups and like applesauce.

Also, I've been trying to catch up on Weeds. I'm almost done with Season 2.

Okay I cannot write anymore. I'm in too much pain. Sorry friends. Hopefully more to come soon.

Okay, so now we're stuck with this craptastic wallpaper?

This week is going slower than "old molasses". (Thank you Caitlin Mulkie for never hearing the right things I say or not listening at all. That is what makes great blog material.)  It's taking absolutely forever. It doesn't help that my boss at State Farm is gone this week for a conference, so there is like nothing for me to do. Sure, I'm doing my daily tasks and updating all of the social media, but that takes less than a hour. Blah. Such a boring day. Tomorrow is my last day, but right now I really can't wait for it to come. I mean 5.5 hours does not go by fast when you sit at your desk doing nothing.

I can't wait to go home and start working on more projects. I will be painting--oo la la, and revamping the bathrooms. My goal is to make this house look completely different by the time school starts. I feel like I'm well on my way to that goal. There is one thing that is driving me crazy when it comes to all these renovations and whatnot. The wallpaper in the living room is well, ugly, old, outdated, hideous. Need I go on? Okay, so it's this blue wave-like wallpaper. And then to add onto the "elegance" of the room, there's an ivy border around the entire room. So yeah, I mean I'm sure it was cool back in 1992 when they put it up, but it needs to be fixed. ASAP! I would glady take down the wallpaper and fix it myself, but Otterbein says, "No!" They have to come and paint or whatever. But the great thing is they won't do anything with wallpaper. Okay, so now we're just stuck with this craptastic wallpaper? Not fair! It's not just that it's ugly, it's falling off the walls and cracking. It just looks bad and I'm sick of looking at it. Maybe I can figure something out so that I'm not wanting to vomit everytime I try to sit and watch TV. That wallpaper has got to go, one way or another.

But I mean honestly, how early is too early to send out resumes?

Okay so yesterday I was complaining because all of my shows for the summer were ending. Well, crap. Yes, I found two more shows to watch: The Big C and Weeds. I attempted wathcing The Real L. I did not like that. I've only watched one episode of each but they seem like pretty good shows (minus The Real L, not my cup of tea) so I guess I will continue to watch them until I get bored. The Big C just had its series premiere so there's only been one episode, but out of the two I like that one better. Plus, it's only 30 minutes so it doesn't waste much time. I have a feeling that I will be catching up on the six series of Weeds next week when I'm recovering.

Laura Linney, Cathy, in the main character in The Real C. Her humor is brilliant on the show. I feel like if this kind of situation would happen to me or my mom, we would act the exact same way.



Did I mention Gabourey Sidibe is in this show? Cracked me up at first. There are a lot of random actors that are in and out of this show. Loving that!



And then the little boy in Weeds, Shane, is super precious. He is one of the cutest little boys. You'll see when you watch Season 1. Makes me want to put the little trinket in my pocket.


I'm continuing on my stressful journey to get any and all things done. I know I shouldn't stress and worry, but it's what I do best. I just feel like I'm going to forget to do something or completely miss a major detail completely. I'm mostly talking about all things owls and homecoming that's coming up. I will happy when everyone is back at school and we can process all these things together. That will take loads off my mind.

And great thing, I woke up this morning at like 5am and couldn't not fall back to sleep. Why? Oh, I was just stressing about finding a legit job in like 10 months. I told you I worried (a lot). I mean I really would like to stay in the Columbus area, but I guess I'll be going wherever a job will take me. I need a full-time job with benefits. They don't have to be great benefits but I would like to be able to get my teeth cleaned and see a half decent doctor. I just wish I had something already set up and yeah, yeah, I know I'll be fine. But I'm a planner. I want to know now what's happening in 10 years. I need to know every detail. Hopefully, I will find an internship this year at a company that wants to keep me on full time after school is over. Let's hope and pray for that.

But I mean honestly, how early is too early to send out resumes?

Simply Ridiculous

Hello Tuesday!

Yesterday was my last day at my internship with Jack Hanna. I'm a little sad, but really excited to start my new one in the admission office. This is also my last week at State Farm, which stinks because I feel like I haven't even been here one month. Either way, I'm still excited to start my new job and help students. Yeah, that sounded way cheesy. But I am super excited for everyone to be back at school!

So the summer is just slowing down. You know how I know? My shows are having all their season finales. Not cool. I guess it will motivate me to do other things and not worry about catching up with my DVR. Like today, I'm going to try and go work out. Yes, I said it. I really need to get my butt in gear and do this. I always have excuses and complain, but I'm sorry if you like working out, then you're weird. And when I say like working out, I don't mean the feeling after a 30 min run. I mean do you thoroughly enjoy sweating your life away, wheezing, and getting all stinky. Yeah I hate that, but I guess it's just something you have to do.

I'm still working on things around the house. Nothing too exciting, but I am almost finished which is so exciting! Next week I have the privilege of getting all four wisdom teeth pulled out. Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. I am terrified. I really try to act all brave, but I am NERV-OUS! Thankfully, my mom is taking off work to drive me over. So next week don't expect a lot of blog posts or if there are any, go ahead and expect them not to make any sense.

Also, I need to vent about something. Okay, Westerville what are you trying to do to me? The Main Street bridge is closed and I hate it. Right now it isn't as bad as when school starts. But really Westerville you're not even going to build a footbridge for us to get to our classes. No? Oh but thanks for the one-per-hour shuttle that is going to be useless if my class gets out late or early or if the shuttle is late or early or if my class in canceled altogether. Yeah, thanks for that. I really think some homeless man should take advantage of this and rent a boat. He could  sell tickets and take students back in forth. Honestly, not the worst idea, but either way ridiculous Westerville. Simply Ridiculous.

Peace Out Girl Scout

Floaters get a life vest!

TGIF! Like legitimately so ready this week to be over!

Okay so big things happened this week in the entertainment world. This is for sure a spoiler blog if you haven't been using your DVR this week, so beware!

First and foremost, the So You Think You Can Dance finale was on last night. AMAZING!!! Lauren won! And let me just say she was my favorite from Vegas. Yes, I guess you could say I have quite the eye for talent. I was sad for my little Kent. I mean he's still amazing and I'm sure he'll find work immediately and a girlfriend for that matter. This season was (in my eyes) the best season yet--so much talent!

I do have a few complaints though:
1. Lauren and Kent didn't do their prom dance which was PHENOM!
2. The double male ballroom dances need to go. Super awkward. It looks like they're in John Devlin's beginning ballroom class and no girls signed up so they have to dance together. I don't like it.
3. Comfort's hair in her number with Adechike. What was going on there?
4. Robert not having his shirt off more.
5. Mia Michael's dictionary of fake and obnoxious words. Murderation?

I mean it was an amazing season minus that. Definitely my FAV!

Onto Big Brother...the slutbag Rachel is finally gone! Thank you lord! She legitimately got mad at Kathy, another contestant, for celebrating when she beat Rachel in a competition. Lask week after Rachel won Head of Household she yelled, "Floaters get a life vest!" Well at least she's not hypocritical. This girl drives me crazy with her drama, tearsm and just complete ugliness. I'm tired of seeing it. Everyone, minus your blind showmance boyfriend, is happy to see you go.

And finally Jersey Shore! This show is so classless, but that's where the Emmys lie. Last night Snookie and Vinnie "hooked up." No one really knows what happened, but I'm sure their drunk selves had zero self-control. Ronnie us being his usual pig self: going out to the car with Sammie, getting into a fight and telling her to leave, hooking up with "grenades", and then coming back home to sleep in Sammie's bed. Disgusting.

More to come next week!

Love & Hoots!

I know those kinds of jobs are reserved for those crazy fashionistas, but a girl can dream.

So I know I have been going on and on about how I'm ready for fall. Well, after today's weather I would hope you are too. Here in Columbus we are on a heat advisory and it's been thunderstorming all day. And to make matters even better it will thunderstorming until Sunday. Fabulous.

Besides fall having the most wonderful weather, I'm really excited about the fashion. Yes, I'm a little obsessive when it comes to clothes. My roommate can vouch for me. Last year, I had my own room with two closets and a dresser. Somehow some of my clothes ended up drifting into the spare bedroom at the Seafoam Palace. And to make me look even more ridiculous, I still had bags of clothes left at my parents. Yes, saying I'm obsessive about clothes is an understatement.

The thing is I really do have a love for clothes and all things fashion. Ultimately, being a buyer would be FAB-U-LOUS! I know those kinds of jobs are reserved for those crazy fashionistas, but a girl can dream. So right now I stick to shopping with my friends and finding them the perfect outfits. Sara and Courtney can vouch for that.

So why I lead into this is because this fall I will the intern in the Admission office and traveling to high schools and college fairs. Obviously I'm going to have to be looking amazing, so I feel like I want to start sharing my super cute outfits with you all. You may not like them, but whatevs. I do. : )

Another thing to add to my overwhelming closet full of clothes. I have a lot of sorority clothing: things I've bought, things that have been passed down, etc. A lot of space is taken up because of this issue. So before you go pointing fingers, please remember half of the stuff is probably leaving by next summer. That will be a sad day.

But what I would like to leave you with is another little fashionista I know, Hope.



She is only 7 and is all about FASHION! She's already commenting on my outfits and telling me what she likes and doesn't. Oh dear, we're going to be in a world of trouble.

Are you green with envy yet?

Hola!

I found this stunning beach resort and when I say stunning, I mean FREAKIN' AMAZINGLY STUNNING! This place is gorgeous. I would live here in a heartbeat. And whoever was the interior designer for this place, I applaud you and beg that you make my future home look half as gorgeous.


Like really? How amazing is this? The view alone is breath-taking, but to just have curtains as door. That kind of weather sounds amazing. I'm so over this Ohio humidity.



And then, let's talk about this super cool chair. I would love to take that out to the beach and catch some rays. Super colorful and fun!



Oh and while I'm at it, I'll take this pool here. The trees are a little weird, but I definitely like them. I even like the purple accent pillows. Yes, I said it. I like something that's purple.

Are you green with envy yet?

I just really enjoy posting relevant texts on my friends walls.

Hello Friends!

Today Lo and I went to mall so I could get a new dress for a wedding I'm going to on Saturday. I had a wonderful evening with her and can't wait to do it again soon. : ) YAY!!

I'm very excited for school to start because I miss my favorites so much. I'm very excited to start at the Admission Office in 2 weeks. I am not excited to get my wisdom teeth pulled out soon. I mean I am because my jaw is killing me. But if I hear one more horror story, I'm going to lose it. "Oh yeah, I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I was throwing up for three days and couldn't eat for two weeks. I pretty much hated my life and I looked ridiculous. But you'll be fine." How about you get real? You can't tell me how horrible it was for you and then expect me to believe I'll be fine. Yeah, right. So not only do I have that to look forward to, but I still have lots to get done with the house. Always a work in progress.

I'm still in freak-out mode when it comes to my life. I finally got my class schedules figured out, but if you know me, I'll be changing it. I'm very nervous about what spring will bring--hopefully a job. I hate being a "planner" because I drive myself crazy.

And I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm a little obsessed with Texts From Last Night. I just really enjoy posting relevant texts on my friends walls. What's so wrong with that? I'm just being thoughtful. Hmm...maybe if I found a job doing that for a living.

She looks like a Vegas showgirl minus the pretty.

Greetings Monsters!

So I'm sitting in the owl house once again. Caitlin just left : (. We had quite the wonderful weekend. She got here Saturday afternoon which is AWESOME!!! We got into some shenanigans, like usual. I cannot wait until September.

I am currently watching Big Brother. Brendan and Rachel make me want to vomit with their Showmance! He is gorgeous and she, well she looks like a Vegas showgirl minus the pretty. I just want them gone because they're not even entertaining--just annoying. But I do love Ragan. He is a gay college professor and he is precious. OMG and now Ragan the Precious is spurring with Rachel the Fugly. Get off my homeboy, hobag!

The So You Think You Can Dance season finale is on this week. Please watch! I definitely want Lauren to win, but I know Kent will win. Which is fine because he's precious and from Wapakoneta!

I've been painting today and I literally was outside for five minutes and I had 12 mosquito bites. Like really? Ugh! I hate bugs. Thank goodness I had some OFF! Deep Woods from 7 years ago in my closet--worked like a charm.

Oh, exciting news! I ate at Old Bag for the first time on Saturday. And FISH was my waitress--perfect! I had a buffalo chicken wrap, which was DELICIOUS!!! I love me some buffalo chicken. If you haven't had it, I suggest you go grab yourself some immediately. It is TASTY!

Okay good night lovies!

You may not get her. You may not like her. She's Lady GaGa.

So I heard about this great website, http://www.fastcompany.com/. You definitely need to check it out if you're a young professional or in the business world. It lists all the new up and coming things along with crazy inventions. Awesomeness. So why am I telling you all about it, well I love you all and want you to be in the know, but mostly because this website is so on track.

I was browsing through their articles and trying to get all inspired when low and behold, GaGa.


They had listed the 100 most creative people and guess who's number one? My girl! Lady GaGa! Perfection! I'm glad that someone in the non-music/non-fashion world has actually caught onto this concept. You may not like her. You may not get her. But she is creative and you cannot deny that. Saying she's off the wall and quirky is an understatement. She is definitely out there, but that's what makes her GaGa.

So please check out her amazing article, www.fastcompany.com/100/2010/01/lady-gaga. Browse the rest of the list and the rest of the website.

Enjoy : )

Like really, what do they expect us to call it--Otterbein U? That's way too many symbols for a slacker like me.

Well the weather has been crazy here. You know, normal Ohio. Fall needs to get here soon!

So I've been gone on an Admission Conference for my internship with Otterbein starting this fall. It was a pretty awesome experience. I got to meet a lot of great people from all across Ohio that are incoming counselors. We learned about what to, what not to do, etc. I'm really excited to get started and simply help students.

I went to the dentist today and sadly, I have no good news to report. I will be getting all 4 wisdom teeth out--fabulous. So now I have to try to find a time to fit that into my schedule. I'm really thinking my employer did not have in mind that I would be asking off all this time. Ugh.

I'm still interning with State Farm and Jack Hanna for the next three weeks. I only have two more days at Jack, but I have two and half weeks left at State Farm. I've been working alot with Otterbein to build a better relationship and make students, faculty, staff, and parents more aware of State Farm in the community. Along with that, I've been manning the social media aspects of the office and am LOVING it! It's great to be doing something I love and being the "guru" behind new ideas.

Still working on the owl house. It's slowly but surely getting finished and homecoming is approaching quickly. Thankfully, I've had some help from a few lovely owls : )

I'm so ready for school to start. I just can't wait to see everyone back at OC. Yes, I'm still calling it OC. I'm not changing K. Krendl and you can't make me! Like really, what do they expect us to call it--Otterbein U? That's way too many symbols for a slacker like me.

I BLEED Scarlet & Gray!

So I'm off to Ashland U for my first official responsibilities as the admission intern. I don't really know what I'm going to be doing so it should be quite an adventure. And hey, who doesn't love a good adventure?

I'm really excited for school to start, mostly because I won't be here alone all the time. I can't wait for everyone to come back and here all about their summer shenanigans. Also, with school starting comes fall. And with fall come OSU football games-YAY!

If you don't know already, I BLEED scarlet and gray. I live for OSU football and cannot wait for our game vs. Marshall. Yes, I consider myself part of OSU--get off me. It's going to be a blood bath. My dad and grandpa went to Marshall, so I do "like" them, but my heart is in Columbus and that's that.

Another thing that comes with the fall is great style: sweaters, boots, scarves, etc. This website just embodies fall and all it's specialness--http://www.modcloth.com/.


Fall will be here soon, but just as soon as it's here it's gone. Ugh. I hate it and just wish it was the longest season, not the shortest.
