Today is going to be a vent post. Why? Because I need to get this out of my system so that I can finish this essay. Now, with that being said, mom, I am blaming this on you. It isn't a bad thing. But I think that it's like telepathy or ESP or something. It has to be. I didn't do anything to receive this kind of karma. Well, I did. But let's move past it.

To preface this, I would like to put it out there that there are two boys, guys, men nope definitely not men, humans males that get under my skin. Why? Because they are the only two guys I have ever seen a future with, whatever that "future" could have been in high school/first year of college. That being said, I should block them on my phone but I am me and I enjoy having the option there. I also clearly like driving myself crazy because that's what this is doing to me.

Also,my love life is like a messy bun. It looks like all the hair is nicely pinned away but once you move or shake your head the pieces fall out and you have this crazy mess that no one wants on top of their heads.

Oh! Some good news! Everyone in my office now knows my name. Like, it is official! They have all addressed me as "Kathryn." Yes, it is probably because I made the intern schedule and put my name in bold (Hi, I'm passive aggressive sometimes most of the time) but either way, yay!

Yesterday my mom and I were emailing and she brought up someone named Pete* (name changed for my sanity) and how he unfollowed me on Instagram. I just about lost it because 1) I hadn't heard or read his name in awhile 2) it made sense and 3) I unfollowed him. Turns out he didn't unfollow me. OOPS, my mistake. But, karma is angry at me or didn't want me to finish my thought process while I was writing my essay, whatever the reason may be, I looked down at my phone to a text from him. Nope. I had just told my mom 3 hours prior that I thought he had lost his phone. I was wrong, and karma bit me in the booty and he clearly has that app that tells you when someone unfollows you. I'm sorry! Not sorry enough to acknowledge and address what I did because that would be forward of me and we all know that the last time I was forward, I got stood up. Anyways, I have this thing where I usually like where guys are forward/cocky and YES I KNOW that sounds terrible, but I go for the not so nice guys, which needs to change, but that is Pete. And that was the three message conversation we had because over winter break I found out some things about him I didn't want to know. But regardless, that was my venting, and who knows if I will even post this, but I probably will because I need my blog support system to tell me that I'm not crazy and I am just a girl that over thinks everything. Alright. I think I'm done.

Actually, let's end on a better note. One of my best friends just texted me this about this "situation" if this is even deemed a problem:

"Whatever he sounds like drama and you don't need someone who is going to play mind games."

BYE PETE!

Totally Posted Tuesday with Karly (the birthday queen) & Niki

Concerts, Engagements, and Banana Pancakes

I would like to start this post by saying that I did my laundry on Friday and I haven't felt that successful in awhile. It was great. I also started a new Netflix show. Oops. But I think this show was made for me. Like it's everything I like in a show, plus what I am actually interested in, in real life. If you follow me on Twitter than you know that this show is The West Wing. I am so so so obsessed! Also Rob Lowe is a QTPIE so that helps too (: Plus it has been raining all weekend (yay SF) and so I needed something to do while procrastinating doing homework. Friday night I ran errands with the munchkins (my littles) and we got Ike's sandwiches and adventured in the rain! Don't worry, we had a car...

Saturday kind of flew by. I woke up late after not doing anything but watching Netflix the night before, and watched more Netflix and painted my nails. I told you, successful weekend. My mom also sent me a picture of this shirt. I guess that sums it all up, right?

Saturday night was concert night at our school and we had St. Lucia and Krewella, but I didn't stay for Krewella, so I basically just went to a St. Lucia concert. Let's just not ask questions about that night, I'm still connecting the dots and replaying me falling over and over again. I really need to learn how to walk.

Sunday morning it was still raining, and I got brunch with the almost birthday girl, Alex! We went to Eats which is one of my favorite bruncheries in the city (yep, just made that word up) and of course I was craving French Toast, but they didn't have it. I settled with banana chocolate chips pancakes and OH MY DELICIOUSNESS. So good. Also, I am only going to post pictures of breakfast and ice cream on my instagram from now on because that is what gets you people those random people that are following me to like my pictures. Yay for caring about how many Instagram likes I get. The first step is admitting it, right? I know I have a problem...

The rest of Sunday consisted of homework reading and West Wing, I am actually obsessed! With West Wing, not homework because that would be kind of weird...
Sunday night we had chapter and MY LITTLE'S ENGAGEMENT was officially announced! Let the Pinterest wedding board begin! It's crazy to type that, heck she still freaks out when she says "my wedding" or anything out loud but I am so so happy for her and so glad I could be here for this part in her life! It is a huge step and I could not be more excited for her and Josh (the lucky guy!)

Also! Exciting news! I set up my sponsor page!! Go check it out (: I already had my first button swap! Look at me doing cool blogger things...

Link up with Bella and Lisa!

Is this like, the Oscars?

Wednesday night, I am at dinner, and I get a Twitter notification from the ever so lovely Rachael from Lumuhand. At first, all I read was "Starbucks" and got really excited, because it reminded me that when I went to target earlier that day, I got a $1 off Starbucks coupon for the Starbucks in Target. Then I read it. Paused. Re-read it. And freaked out. I have never been "nominated" for anything and to be recognized for my blog by a fellow blogger is a pretty big deal to me! So there are some rule, some questions that I answered, and some questions that I tagged 11 people to answer. Some of the people I tagged are really cool and I consider them blog famous so they might go over the follower "limit" but I wanted to tag them because I like them. Okay? Cool.

Let's get into the rules:

1. Link back to the blogger that nominated you: Rachael, you are AMAZING and I am currently craving Starbucks (see question #1)
2. Answer the 11 questions requested by the nominator.
3. Choose 11 nominees with small followings (from as small as 200 or 2,000).
4. You can not nominate the person who nominated you.
5. You must let the bloggers know they were nominated. 

1.What is your signature Starbucks drink?
Nonfat Vanilla Latte.. Because all those crazy, intense sweet drinks kind of scare me

2. What's the strangest advice that you've ever been given, yet you swear by it?
Someone told me that everything happens for a reason after I wasn't accepted into my dream school. I was miserable for a month or so, but now look where I am! 

3. What non-profit organization do you support?
I support both CASA and the Theta Foundation through my sorority (:

4. What was the reasoning behind your parent's choice for your name? 
My name was supposed to be Lillian after my mom's best friend, but they decided to go with her middle name, Kathryn, instead
My middle name is Michel, which is French for the name Michael (aka, my dad!)

5. Are you a shower singer? If so, what songs are in your watery set list?
I used to be.. then people would tell me they heard me so I stopped.

6. What's the worst date you've ever been on?
The one I got stood up on... There's a blog post about it, please read it here

7. Do you have any tattoos?
Nope, I don't like needles... But I have 6 piercings! All on my ears don't freak out. And no mom, I didn't get any new ones

8. What do you think the fox says?
A hybrid between a "woof" and a "meow"

9. If you were 16, what advice would you have given your future (current) self?
Stop falling for the douche bags and seriously look into schools on the east coast

10. What song would be on the soundtrack of your life?
"Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Buble

11. What is something embarrassing about yourself?
I could do a whole post just on this one question... There are so many things.
In third grade I peed my pants... that was pretty awful.

My questions! I don't know if this is allowed but I am stealing some of Rachael's and adding some of my own. It's Friday, we're going with it

1. What Starbucks drink would you order, if you were only allowed to order one for the rest of your life?
2. What was the worst date you ever went on?
3. What is the reasoning behind your blog name?
4. What is your favorite theme park and why? (If you say Disneyland, we need to plan a trip)
5. Are you a breakfast person? If yes, what is your favorite breakfast food?
6. Coffee or tea and why? (As I'm on my second cup.. oops!)
7. What is your favorite Justin Timberlake song?
8. If you were to have a super power what would it be and why?
9. PC or Mac?
10. What is the worst gift you have ever received?
11. If you were only allowed to have one form of social media (not including your blog) what would you keep? (I'd pick Twitter.. because I like sharing my thoughts with all of you, even though half of it is irrelevant.)

I thought I was Cady, I am actually Andy

Actually, why would I need a name tag, I have a badge. Anyways, I really thought we were getting to the point in my internship where I would have needed to wear my name tag/badge dinglehopper so that people would remember my name. FALSE. They know my name! Well, let's just say the majority know my name, and I have a theory for the other one.... Work with me here, I am no long Cady Heron, I am now Andy. It is too perfect. I can't believe I didn't figure this out earlier.

I got to work, 3 minutes early, get at me, and the mysterious man who is never at his desk so I take his, was there. What? Why. So I went to the back office which is like down the hall and kind of a cave, so it was nice, and then there was a knock knock knock on the door.
"Kathryn?" Yes! Yes! That is me! I am Kathryn! That is my name! Yes?
"We need you back in the office to do some entry level things" Oh.. okay.

So we go back to the office and I am PUMPED that someone knows my name. Mind you, she is nw. And great. Okay, focus. So then I head "Kathryn, I need your help! And no, it isn't cleaning out my office!" YOU KNOW MY NAME TOO?! Okay, sounds good just let me know what to do!
I shouldn't have said that. Nope. I regret it. I then received about 500 business cards and was told to put them into the computer. I didn't know how they wanted it formatted, but don't worry! I figured it out...

Okay, maybe it wasn't 500 but it was a lot. There was then the ultimate "who needs the intern more" debate, "the intern" meaning me. Here is my theory. He knows that he doesn't know my name, but doesn't care enough to figure it out. But at least he figured out that my name isn't Kathy, Kathleen, Krystal, Christine, whatever else he thought my name was. I would much rather "The Intern" instead of a name that isn't mine. I say this now, check back in next week to see how annoyed I get with that aha.

I answered the phone a few times, okay a lot of times. I almost pulled a straight up Andy, but figured out how to adjust the volume on the phone to actually hear what they were saying.

So after looking at a few hundred business cards, I have some questions. And please, if you have a business card with one of these items, feel free to explain yourself. I am just confused.

• Who still uses Yahoo?! Except for my mom.. Hi mom.
• WHY do you have so many phone numbers? Like seriously, what is the point.
• Why would you but you home number on your business card... That's private information and I wouldn't want people to call me during dinner. Sorry bout it
• Do people still use fax?
• Okay seriously, who is coming up with some of these titles? General Manager for the People who Enjoy Creating and Emailing. You think I'm kidding. I am, but the point is still there
• Your business card is not a cheat sheet and doesn't need to be packed with 7 point font information. Give me your name, company, title, email and a phone number. I don't need your whole resume on there. That's all.

I got kicked out of about 4 computers throughout the whole day because everyone decided to come into the office. It was Wednesday people. What? Oh well. So anyways, I ended up working in my boss's office, meaning I worked at her computer. And people came into her office, but were confused when it was me sitting there. LOL OOPS. Look at me moving up in the intern world *smirking emoji*

But yes, it was a successful day, and my boss and I bonded over food, and it was great. Also it's raining. So that's fun.

Add a little mojo

I wanted the title of this post to be "Add a little mojo in your step" but I felt like that was too long, hence the abbreviated title above. Oops. Oh, and happy hump day!

Before I get into my new motivation, I wanted to do a rant post about the gym. Why? Because I feel like these two things go together, and I'm feeling rant-y. Yeah, I just made that a word...

Also, thank you thank you to Caitlyn for sending me some of these GIFs!

1. I usually go to the gym after work/class, meaning I am going to be wearing makeup. I am usually too lazy to take off my makeup to go to the gym, becuase that would mean that I would literally get ready to go to the gym. Like, I'm soryr. I'm not going to take off my makeup, so don't judge me for wearing makeup to the gym, because I was too lazy to take it off. I.e.: In Pitch Perfect when they are all wearing makeup looking fabulous, I mean hi she is wearing a skirt, because they clearly just got out of class.

2. Going off the above, I won't intentionally put on makeup to go to the gym. I'm not trying to meet my future boyfriend when I go to the gym (LOL, that is itself is a joke.) If you do, good for you, that is just an extra amount of effort I am not willing to put in, when I am just going to sweat it off. Sorry if you didn't need to know that, but it's the gym. I'm just being honest here...

3. I don't go to the gym in a bathing suit. Bathing suit being sarcastic for bra and ass shorts. I am not trying to get attention at the gym. From guys or girls! I'm going to look gross and sweaty and I don't want anyone to look at me. Nope. No thank you. Don't watch me on the treadmil, I might fall off...

4. One time to the gym won't make me, or you, look like Beyonce. I mean if that's what you think, sure, keep dreaming girlfriend (boyfriend? do any guys read this?) Please don't tell me how good I am going to look in the morning, I'm looking at you spin teacher. Yeah, you.

5. I can never get the right hairstyle. Kathryn you just said you don't want to look good. I hate ponytails because they sway. No swaying. Buns come undone. Ugh, so frustrating. 

Hopefully you can relate to some of these, or now you have more to add to the list of why you think I am crazy. I like both. Also, I need to make a new workout playlist that isn't just "Partition" by Beyonce and "Talk Dirty to Me" by Jason DeRulo on repeat... What are you go to running/spinning/eliptical songs?

On that note of motivation...

I am currently obsessed with finding new design bloggers because I just got Pixelmator and so I am looking for inspiration, and ayways, I found Breanna at Breanna Rose and now have new wallpapers for my laptop, iPad, and iPhone. YAY new stuff!
