Birds Flying High, You Know How I Feel

DRIVING BACK FROM TALLY WAS WORSE THAN DRIVING THERE!

On the positive side, I have Cracker Barrel Biscuits and I was hired (yesterday actually) as the nanny for the little girl and I start on Monday! I am so excited to be working with children again as well as getting to help the family!

Pretty Simple Day

I might have consumed a whole small pizza today and I might not be slightly angry with myself for it but I was hungry and it was over the course of seven hours. Things I am proud of though include how I set up the store this morning and driving my brother in law to Publix tonight. 

Gained Some Confidence

Another Saturday of closing by myself and this one felt a lot better! Now I have so many questions that I never thought to ask before but I felt okay about it! That is the important part.

Good Eyeliner Day

Top liner can be a little intimidating for most people when it comes to line thickness, straightness, and matching. Times that by like... 1500 and you get what it is like when you're blind in one eye. I used to not be able to do it at all and I had to just use bottom eyeliner. Liquid liner (only Kat Von D Tattoo liner though) changed  all of that and now it is the only kind that I do. I still struggle with it though. Getting the flick just right, making the lines the same shape and thickness. I don't understand how makeup artists can do this.

Today in general was a good make up day but today's eyeliner was on point minus a little dot on my right lid. I had three co-workers compliment me on today's makeup look and I love when that happens. It doesn't *have* to happen though. I do make up for me and when I do my makeup I tend to walk out of the house feeling pretty fabulous. If only I could transfer that ability to everything that I do.


Side note: Birth Certificate has arrived and now all that is left is to reschedule (once again) and continue learning the material!

Like A Bombshell

I don't always wake up in the morning and feel fabulous, but when I do I cherish that feeling because it doesn't happen all the time.

I wasn't able to get a picture of today's work makeup but after waking up feeling pretty awesome and then doing really awesome things to my face I felt like a bombshell. I wanted to good a photo shoot for a magazine I had so much confidence in my appearance at that moment in time. Now, I have no idea if  it all stayed that any though out the course of the day but that is not the point :)

I get to see Catherine tomorrow and I am just so beside myself with excitement! I have no idea what we are going to do but I am sure it will be fantastic!

Storyline challenge: I am supposed to include the lyrics to my favorite song to complete today's challenge but I'm not even sure what my favorite song is so I'll be cheeky and use to lyrics to ONE OF my favorite songs!

Bombshell Blonde-  Owl City 

That blonde, she's a bomb, she's an atom bomb.

Rigged up, and ready to drop!

Bad news, I'm a fuse, and I've met my match.

So stand back, it's about to go off!

That vixen, she's a master of disguise!

I see danger, when I look in her eyes.

She's so foxy, she could lead to my demise.

So I'm running, 'cause I've run out of time.

She’s a bombshell blonde, wired up to detonate!

I’m James Bond, live to die another day!

Bombshell blonde, high explosive dynamite!

She’s all I want so I, I’m on a mission tonight!

(I, I'm on a mission tonight!)

Her love is a drug laced with ecstasy,

And her charm is spiked with a spell.

A hot mess in a dress gets the best of me.

She's ice cold, but she's making me melt!

That vixen, she's a master of disguise!

I see danger, when I look in her eyes.

She's so foxy, she could lead to my demise.

So I'm running, 'cause I've run out of time.

She’s a bombshell blonde, wired up to detonate!

I’m James Bond, live to die another day!

Confidence is Key

"I am a princess. I am brave sometimes, I am scared sometime. Sometimes I am brave even when I’m scared. I believe in loyalty and trust. I believe loyalty is built on trust. I try to be kind. I try to be generous. I am kind even when others are not so generous. I am a princess. I think standing up for myself is important. I think standing up for others is more important but standing with others is most important. I am a princess. I believe compassion makes me strong. I believe kindness is power. And family is the tightest bond of all. I have heard I am beautiful. I know I am strong. “I promise and when I promise something, I never ever break that promise.” I am a princess, long may I reign." I am a Princess- Disney Commercial

After multiple tests to my patience (between last night and today) and a few other, less significant frustrations today, I won a contest for a free princess bow from a shoppe (Taylor'sThingamabobs) on Etsy. I follow Taylor on twitter and I won't lie, sometimes she drives me insane without flat out full of her self she can be however, the girl practically lives by the quote "I am a princess. Long may I reign" from the commercial script posted above. I commend her for that. 

It takes a strong and confident individual to not let themselves be effected by name calling and negativity. She's received a ton of it for reasons I understand and reasons I don't. But she doesn't let it get to her as much as it would most people. As much as it would bother me. I like to think and act as though I'm a pretty tough individual. For the most part I am. Constant negativity and constant bullying however would ruin me in a matter of days. There's no need for that kind if behavior in the world. It just not something that should exist and I plan on being there to lessen it as much as possible this semester with the kids that I will be working with starting next week. I will be walking in to my internship with my head held high ready to behave like the princess I am. Like the princess (or prince) we all are.

Go the Distance

"I will beat the odds! I can go the distance! I will face the world! Fearless, proud, and strong!" Go the Distance- Hercules-1997

I really enjoyed today and how productive I was. I went to class, answered emails, made multiple phone calls, applied for graduation, and then worked on some things for my sorority. I am very happy with today's accomplishments. Days like today give me the confidence and motivation that I need to continue forward and hopefully enjoy the choices I've am regarding my future. I like feeling this way and setting myself up for success. I hope that once my internship starts next week  success and productivity will continue to be this easy to come by.

Also!!! Today I walked around campus without my crutches for the first time! It wasn't easy and my foot and leg are not happy with me but it is a step that I will need to take more and more often. Normalcy is in the near future... I can go the distance!
