How can you put a price on memories?

I walked into the Apple store with my eyes wide, searching for my new lap top. I had already done quite a bit of research and knew I wanted a new 13-inch  Mac Book Pro. My only question was regarding the core 5 vs core 7 processor. (I know you all are dying to know what I picked, it was the core 5. )

But now that I’m sitting home, writing this on my new laptop and I can’t help but feel bad for my ol’ Bessie. I mean she helped me get through some of the best times of my life (so far, obviously better times are lookin’ ahead.)  I wrote my first attempt at a novel, my first college essay, my last college essay, fell in love with blogging, dove head first into the world of online dating..so many memories.

And now my dear friend is being brushed aside for a new shiny model, and it is really shiny. I’ve been trying to get used to the new typing, better speed, and really intense glossy screen (like sometimes I can’t even focus, instead I just watch myself or what is happening behind me). It’s just not the same with out my Ol’ good luck charm with me.

The thing is, I want to sell her, scratch that I need to sell her. If mama’s gonna pay the bills then she needs to start making some sort of dough. But I’m just not sure how I’ll be able to part with her.

How can I put a price on all of the college memories we shared?

(on a side note, anyone interested in a 15-inch Macbook pro from 2007feel free to comment with your best offer)

Facebook Defriended

Can you be Facebook friends with someone who doesn’t share the same feelings as you? In the world of social media, what are the rules for kicking the guys who you screw out of your life?

Say I had been seeing this particular guy, who happened to say all of those perfect things that make you actually like him…weird, right? So, then you start to fall, you ask him what he was looking for and he answers “Casual Sex.” Say I might have been a little hurt by that, say I might have gone on two dates with two different guys that weekend. Say I then started sleeping with said causal sex guy. Worst part? It wasn’t even on my terms.

Why is it that when everything goes down it’s not “P.C.” to defriend someone on Facebook? Um, I’m sorry but I don’t want to see that you are dating someone else, or just “nailed some hot chick.” I know real classy. I’m all set with not ever seeing another update via Marky Z’s network about you.

So what does that say about me? Does it mean I’m immature because I don’t want to be public friends with a twit? Or does it mean that I’m immature because now I know he has no way of reading this blog post about him. I mean, if he was real.

I guess that leaves the question, can you defriend someone on Facebook without it coming back to haunt you?

Every Day is a Learning Experience

I had mentioned yesterday that I was going to blog about my slim-fast challenge and talk about how it’s going..and all that junk. But it ended up being really boring and just me complaining about not having energy, the diet bars being too sweet, and the shakes tasting like chalk that a cat threw up. That was yesterday..today is going much better.

I discovered 2 things today: 1. The shakes are way better when mixed with ice, and 2. I need to eat a lot more protein and way less carbs.

I also discovered I am not fun to be around when I’m hungry, I’ve actually started hiding from my family so they don’t have to endure it.

Other discovers:

  • The sun makes me happy, I could lay our there all day just soaking up those lovely rays. But I don’t because of the whole skin cancer risk.
  • I have an obsessive habit with cleaning. When I start cleaning  I can’t stop until everything is clean. Sounds great, right? Except it ends up taking over my entire day. So I opt to live in a messy room (although I’m slowly picking away at it).
  • I really want to be somebody. I know you’re probably like, well DUH everyone does. But I’ve always wanted to just be somebody since I was a little, even if that was my job. I could totally rock the whole showing up at clubs for money thing, except I would last about 2 seconds and run out of there after the first guido hit on me.
  • I don’t belong in a small town, and probably never will. Whenever I see New York mentioned on t.v. shows, a glimpse of the skyline my heart goes all buttery (the way most people get when they see a S.O. or new crush). The idea of crowded streets, pushing past people, ignoring homeless people…all of it! I want that life and I would like, like 3 weeks ago.
  • I need to make my blog funnier, I don’t think you guys realize how funny I can be. So hopefully that will change.
  • New grass green is officially my favorite color.

Okay so I made like 9 discoveries today, not just two.

Apparently I Can Bake?

So now that I have time on my hands I’ve decided to take up two new hobbies: Eating healthy and Baking (not the typical college student kind, the typical house wife kind).

My first feat being: cupcakes. Not just any cupcakes, cupcakes made from brownie mix. I was under the assumption that you could use any kind of insta-batter. I now know that you all batters aren’t universal after seeing that they didn’t rise, and were not fluffy (like the kind on cupcake wars). However, they were still delicious, I think my Nutella/Creamcheese frosting helped out (you have to try the recipe, it isn’t as sweet as you think but it is as delicious as it sounds).

So me new goal is to have some type of baking experiment to share with you every Tuesday…but we’ll see how long that lasts.

My other new hobby, eating healthy, is getting a jump-start this week. I’ve decided to try slim-fast (I’m a huge fan of cheap quick fixes) in hopes that it will get me pumped about smaller portions and less carbs. And surprisingly I’m doing well, granted I’m about to try my first shake…Check back tonight to find out how my first day went!

In other news: I’m going to make Thursday an advice day! I’ve become an expert on college, relationships (failing relationships), friendships, sticky situations, and all the in between (which include fashion issues, makeup problems..basically you name it and I will find your answer!) Just email, comment, DM, or @ me your questions and I promise to have answers for you every thursday!

Can I have Michael Scott’s Job?

As many of you know, I’m a little obsessed with The Office. Granted season 3 will always be my favorite and I do agree with many that it’s sliding down hill… but I refuse to give up hope.

Last night, as I’m sure many of you loyal fans watched, Jim, Toby and Gabe/Kelly hunted for a replacement. I watched as familiar faces attempted to wow audiences with the humor the writers had laid out for them. But nothing really seemed to match up to the sarcastic and real life charm the audience has come to love.

Although I am almost positive that none of those candidates will be the new manager of the Scranton branch, I must admit I’m nervous that the directors/casting people/writers are going to take this to a dangerous place. Crossing my fingers that it will NOT be Dwight.

So on that note, I feel that I know who the perfect replacement would be. Me. I mean sure I may not have had any jobs that involve selling things (other than food and my body), and yes maybe I don’t really know that much about paper (it’s white..sometimes?), but gosh darn it I’d be the best stinkin’ boss ever.

I could be Pam’s new BFF, make fun of people with Darrel, be the younger sister Jim never knew he wanted, Dwight’s nemesis, A new member of subtle sexuality…it would be a perfect fit, trust me.

I’m not really sure what the search committee is waiting for, clearly their perfectly candidate is sitting right behind this computer screen.
