30 DAY WEDDING!!!

We are getting married on July 31st and I am so excited. I figured since none of my videos work I'll be able to do a wedding series here on my blog. I will be giving as many details as o can as things change and get up to date. This is a real wedding on a budget. Not this budget that's like $5000 or even $1000. We are throwing a $200 wedding. Yes that was $200. Everything will be handed me downs,diy, and tons of group effort on the food. $25 for the marriage certificate $35 for the civil ceremony $60 for the hotel $0 for the reception $0 cash for food(help, coupons, etc) So far that's $120 so we have $80 left for diy projects and decor. Everyone is.being told to bring lawn chairs, and both grand parents have tables. The event is BYOB, and will be taken place outside so there will be yummy sliders and fries which is so us. The colors was the hard part. We had decided that i would do all the planning because it's such a short time that we had to be completely decisive at all times. I wanted a black and white theme with rainbow colors but when he found out he was against it. So it's not all whimsical now it's all black and white and more glittery and twinkling and elegant and i even pushed the time back a few hours so it's all beautiful at night. That was a big stress but i wanted him to be happy as well. The groom is to often forgotten. Only because we have a month was it such a hassle but i love him and he deserves to be excited about the wedding and not just the marriage. One of my best friends is a baker and i plan asking her to make the cake free of charge and I'll be able to get all the supplies for free for her. That leaves cake decisions, decor decisions, and diy planning to go. I'll post my self made time line in a few days and from then on I'll keep you posted and up to date with the timeline and pictures. Pictures of what idk. probably just the diy projects and things.

Week 16

Yea, so i know that I have been M.I.A. lately but that's because of the pregnancy. I've just been sitting around that house doing nothing. With that being said most expect more post since i have all the time in the world, but honestly i wouldn't have anything to say or do. I literally lay around all day long.But I just came from the doctors a few day ago so i figure now that I'm getting along in the pregnancy i have more things to say and do so i figured I'd share.
I discovered that about 80% of Americans have HPV but don't know it because its a dormant virus and doesn't do anything. Well I'm apart of that 80% and because I'm pregnant it decided it wanted to flare up so...yay me. I don't honestly know what that means for me or the baby because my doctor said that its not doing anything right now and i just have to be monitored more closely now. For those that don't know HPV can lead to Cervical Cancer...
On another note I started my pregnancy at 183lbs, by the time i found out i was pregnant i was 170. At my last check up i weighed in at 149.5 lbs. So i have to have that closely monitored as well. Its not doing any harm to the baby right now as far as I know. The baby is getting all of the nutrients it needs from me, but i just have to make sure I'm getting all that i need. And when people force u to eat when you aren't hungry. I do need more calories admittedly, but I can eat things with more calories and still eat the same amount of food my doctor said so eating when you're not hungry is never fun. Trust me.
I'm also thinking about vlogging on my YouTube for the rest of this journey but I'm not really sure how i feel about that. I'm not that popular on YouTube so I don't really anyone in my family being comfortable on camera and what not. So basically I'd be like saaammage with her hunbun, but that would be everyone.
But I feel like that's the best way for me to document everything because I never remember to write stuff down and I don't have any pregnancy memories or anything like that. Besides I do have a lot coming up really soon, Ever since my last visit to the doctor she wants to monitor a lot of things.
I have to go get blood before two weeks is over. I have an ultra sound after 3 weeks. I have another appointment with my doctor in a week from today. and i have another one scheduled in about 3 weeks so that she can go over the results of everything from all the outside doctors. Plus i have to schedule and appointment with a eye doctor and dentist because all of these things are important while pregnant as well. And i should probably find a primary doctor for everyday stuff too just to make sure all of that is in order.
All the while never getting any sleep, yet sleeping all day and since i can't stand up for more than 30-45 min at a time i basically don't do anything or go anywhere and I had to quit my job. So now I'm in the process of finding a new job that i can sit and still manage. Like a Secretary or something. SO if anyone has any idea that would be amazing

Sorry I don't have any pictures and this is just a heavily worded post. I have one picture on instagram and thats it. Maybe next time there will be pictures. Til next time

Bento, Obento

Okay so today I made a bento box. I decided to make it before all my stuff came in the mail because i wanted to show you that you could make one out of simple stuf. You don't always have to deco-ben. Its about making good food outof quick things around that house and left overs.

you will need
Your Bento

Cupcake Thingys or dividers

Biscuit sticks to hold you over lol

and a fridge with some stuff in it


the first thing i did was add some left over rice from when i made beef fried rice for dinner a few days ago
See?! I put this in my top layer. its the biggest one

then i added a divider




This is chicken and potatoes my mom made for dinner last night, but since i was at work i didn't get any. but there were left overs. So.....
I chopped up the chicken

                                    
and made the potatoes into a quick potatoe salad. all i did was add mayo and mozzarella cheese to the top
I decided to add one of the rice cakes i had from the asian market since i was barely eating them 

this is a popular asian treat. its pop corn, but its rather fluffy. Kind of like puffin corns, if you know what that is. YUM >_< more more more

see. i put it next to my rice cake

last but not least i made a deviled egg to fill the space between the rice and the chicken.

I wish i took a picture of the outside of the egg. It was a pretty girlypale green. But the inside of the egg was just egg. lol.

I go into work too late to get a break today so this is going to be my dinner in about 5 hours. Hopefully everyone has funny bento making. When my stuff comes in the mail I'll be sure to do a haul video of all my bento stuff. I should be getting a new bento and like 2 other things but still. 
Hope no one is too mad that my blog has no real direction. It more about how I'm feeling and what makes me happy and what I can't express in real life rather than any one thing. I will be doing a haul on my favortie beauty products soon too for anyone who is interested in that type of stuff

Obsessed

So almost all my life I've been Obsessed over the Asian culture. i think that they have many traditions and foods and things that are just to die for... So I bought a bento box like 2 years ago...well actually I bought 4. 2 pinks 2 blues. # for my friends and 1 for me. I have no idea if they still use theirs but I don't ever use mine...one, because I never have anything to put in there and two because I have no elastic band that goes over it so it doesn't open. It is also pretty small so I think that I'm going to invest in another one....But anyway I never knew how to make the hard boiled eggs into little shapes. I just found a site that told me how. So i think I have finally found my direction for my blog...
Have an entry about the different foods and styles of bento boxes. The history of them and the food typically put in them. Once I get the money for a camera, go out get one and show you guys the different foods I make each week. Then once I start getting more bento boxes showing you my adventures to getting a collections started <3

That sounds a super awesome idea yay!!!!
First thing though is how to make the eggs into shapes...this is for my own personal purposes only, because I'm not home and I have no where to write this down on...but I can always come back to my blog.

How to use Easy Boiled-Egg Shapers:
  1. Hard-boil your egg.
  2. Peel the egg while it is still hot.
  3. Place the egg in the mold.
  4. Leave the egg in the mold in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Voila!

Valentine's Day

SO I've been waiting to go home to post my Valentines day blog but I'm still not home. I've been at my moms house since Valentines day(sunday0 and its Saturday.

Valentines day was great
So as most of you have read, i planned on having a great big Valentine's Day planned out but nothing ever goes as planned
anyway i still got to come back to town and have a good time with my boyfriend.
We saw the movie Sherlock Holmes
it was great
he cooked me dinner and we just had a blast hanging with eachother
I fell asleep several times through out the course of the day so I feel bad.
I had to be to work at 7am 7 days in a row.
Can they do that?...mom my asked.
well IDK but I went didn't I.
i needed the money.
We sat up and talked for hours about nothing
it was great
he held me and let me fall asleep.
We both ended up waking up 5 in the morning because thats what our bodies are used to now. and we just laughed about it and talked some more
he makes me feel like a kid, but like a grown ass woman too
he makes me feel filled with butterflies and marshmallows and cottoncandy
I love him more than he can know

and everytime I hear a Nirvana song i just wanna laugh <3
we dance around his room and scream at the top of our lungs

Valentines day was one of the best days I've had in a long time
and the sad part about it all is it had to happen because of a holiday
things like that dont always happen the way i wish they would.
ppl act diffrent because society tells them to
i don'e get to see him that much anymore
I don't gett o hold him
and sometimes I don't think he thinks about it that way :(

first day of work/great news

okay...well everyone knows that i had my first day of work yesterday
well, it was great...i love everyone i work with and everyone else at work is awesome too
the girls i work with in the back are very helpful, and its the first job i've had that i'm not afraid to ask questions
the manager is in her 20's and i feel like she is my age so i can talk to her if i feel stupid about something
at my first job my boss was 24 and he seems like a boss BOSS
if you get what i mean.
he was cool and i loved him, and his wife was the coolest person i knew, but i was still afraid of him
i wish that they didnt move to texas, but they had to go home
it doesnt matter the place is gone, so i wouldnt be able to go and see them anyway
back to hollister...i like that i do stuff in the back
that makes everything way easier, i dont have to worry about ppl looking at me all day
i fold and find, and look and place
i absolutely love it
everyone looks so pretty
i'm so jelous lol
and the woman i work with the most(not saying anyones names...dont need stalkers) she is so pretty
she older than i am so i guess i thats part of it, but the other part is she just seems like she knows what she wants
she has the best boobs ever
i wonder if they are hers
either way, i was staring at them all day
lol
dont tell her :)
she told me that i needed to get some new clothes, bacuse she has closets full of clothes and i have none
they are so open like everyone is just the best of friends, but i dont think they hang out outside of work
it just doesnt seem like it, like they all have superfun lives and they do all kinds of fun things like hang out with guys and go to partys and all that stuff
go to bars and drink and go out to dinner
and go downtown and all that stuff
i wish i could do stuff like that...:(

but on to the great news
because i have the bestest news ever
well to me its good news

Well, if you guys remember my ex boyfriend Tyler
he wants to get back together and spend valentines weekend together.
i cant wait
he has alot planned for us
we are goin to a car show
hey! i like stuff like that, so you can just shut ur faces
lol
and we are going to dinner and movie(IMAX)
i love the harbor plus he is taking me shopping because as you might have read b4, i dont hve any clothes, so he is getting me whatever i want
anything...and he has a suprise for me that i can't know about so i cant wait till then

i just hope that i dont have to work
the thing is because the job is so new that i dont want to call out and mess that all up
thats how i got dismissed from wendys
no thank you
none of that
lol
so i just pray that i get to see him...and my family
me and my mother talk for hours on the phone now
she never has anyone to talk to, she talks to her boo but no one else to really talk to.
I think it's weird that we talk so much when we don't live together, and then when we live together, we never say anything to eachother
i wish that it could stay like that
she is trying her hardest to move, and asked me if they got a new house would i move in with them... the thing is I would love to move back to that side of town, but i don't really want to go through all of this with my mom again.
I love her and I'm so tired of the clash between mom and friend
i want to hav both
but she forgets that i'm 20 now and having a 1 o'clock curfew is wack
if i go back i dont want a curfew, the only time i wanna have to call her is if i'm staying the night some where. not if i'm goin to be late and then she's mad because i called and she has to go to work but sh'd be mad if i didnt because then she'd worry

sure, u can know where i am at all times, but dont be mad that i'm not there because i'm going to stay at ppls houses i'm going ot do what i want
i'm man adult now....but i'd love to go back and i love my mommy, so i'll talk to her about that when i come up for one weekend

but back to my awesome weekend with my awesome guy...he is taking me to the car show, i really want to go
i want my mom and mr keth to go
they went last year i think
it would be cool if they went with us
tyler might feel weird if they went...but i dont really care, just because it'll be funny
but then, we'd have to agree on the place to eat after that and my mom wouldn't feel like staying and walking around
she isnt going to want to go to the IMAX either
i really want to see a movie at the IMAX theatre
i've loved all the movies i've see there, probably just because i love being at the harbor
oh, and we should probably go get some crabs, that would be cool
or, maybe on sunday, because then we can just have some fun and all that, i'd have to wake up earlier than my mom...i dont think i can do that


and i cant wait to see what this suprise is....i just know that its going to be something that i'm going to love
i'm so simple, so cliche
i like things that u see in the moves, and thats all i want
flowers and chocolate
stuff like that.
And i've been waiting to go to the harbor for years with someone that i loved, and i get to try on tons of clothes
<3 :) yay!!!
lol
well ttfn, i hav to go call my best friend...i have lots of those, but one is at work and the other is in the next room...so yeah, and my mom is one of them, but i just got off the phone with her lol
c ya

i want it!!

okay so this is just a bunch of things that i wish i could have but i dont have the money for

  • iPod touch
  • car
  • mini fridge
  • candy
  • new clothes

SO yeah, i wish i had the money but i dont

i can get the ipod touch now, and chose bill me later, and i should have the money in the newt couple of weeks
i have a new job at hollister and i'm so happy about that
IU've always wanted to work in a place that
all the girls always look so happy and look so pretty
I dont think i have the energy to make sure i look so pretty everyday

i really could care less, but at the same time i do
its weird
but yeah, my dad got me a car, until i decided to move out of my moms house, idk what they have to do with eachother so what ever

as far as the clothes, i have to buy new clothes for work anyway so hopefully someone can help me out on the new clothes,
the mini fridge...I've always wanted one, nothing has changed, and i found a pretty cheap one at wal mart...so lets see what the first paycheck looks like

and the CANDY!!! I'm just being too lazy to walk to the store, i think that if i get all my change together i could go get some gummy worms, but its raining and a little snow going on out threr, so i think i'm going to stay in the house and not go get candy that i dont really have the money for
