Today.

Ok so here is an update.

My lovely boyfriend moved to New Mexico (my state) from Louisiana. Awesome!. Although he isn't quite in my zip code yet. So last time I went to visit him we took pictures. He looks lovely but I am basically wearing my lounge wear. (Just a disclaimer.)

Lovely outfit right? 

Not sure what face I was making here.

 Thoughts:

I am currently living with three roommates in an apartment where I have my own bedroom and bathroom. One roommate is one of my best friends and we had roomed together in the past so it is all hunky dory, awesome roommate living. The other two present interesting living condition continually. It has been a situation that has forced me to grow. It has definitely make me accept that when you live in a state of community it really helps to show you your sin. So it makes me deal with my faith.

Today I came home to a counter full of groceries. Just some background when I moved in our fridge and cabinets were stocked with enough food to last a major disaster, i.e. natural disaster, social disaster, zombie apocalypse. At that time there were two girls living here. Woah. Do you really need all that food, I mean really. That situation really hasn't changed much. So yeah, counter full of groceries. Are you planning on cooking for a family of 7?? It will be interesting to check our fridge and find the creative ways that it has been rearranged to accommodate the influx in groceries.

To cope with the lack of storage I have implemented several strategies.
1. Once you spot some real-estate in the fridge run to the grocery store that instance and get a few items you have been needing. I am not talking about buying the whole store. Remember other people need to keep their items chilled.

2. Upon securing valuable fridge real-estate when consuming you items always leave a serving of your item left. Then when you go to the store buy your necessary items eat your serving and BOOM! you have some space for your stuff.

Its all about maintaining your territory in the fridge.

3. With a packed fridge items can get lost in it due to arranging and rearranging. So if you come across something especially eww place it near the front so that the owner might be aware of the fact that they should probably resolve the situation.

4. Consider Craiglist for a miniature fridge. $20-75 dollars a pop. Hey not bad.

Tactic that I am hoping to work up to:

5. You are all in college. You all have left home and you all pay the same amount for rent. So calmly talk to one another. Maybe set aside areas of the fridge that "belong" to person. This also helps to teach one another how to manage their space, and they are aware that we all pay for access to a fridge.

Neat Video

I do love me a good video. So somedays when I am just to lazy to get out of bed I will Internet around looking for good videos.

Anthro gave me the idea for "Tuesday Shoesday" with a tweet of these beautiful shoes ^^^ above  

Maybe

Do you even have those days when you envision an outfit, and are excited about it, but then when you put it on it's more of..."eh, I think it might work." This was one of those days. 

Even though I was unsure I still went for it, but changed into some comfy shoes later in the day. lol. I am trying to stretch myself in what I wear, and this day I did so with shoes that have a heel on them. Typically the only time I wear heels is when I am going to church. I would like to rotate some into my outfits more often, and feel comfortable in them.

Ok yes I realize that Valentines Day is over. So this can also apply to just plain dating. Here are things that me and my man do to help us deal with being in a long distance relationship.

1. Try to skype every night. Yes everyone has busy lives, but when you make time for your love it shows them just how important they are. Even if it is for only a little bit. You don't have to have deep meaningful conversation every time you are on skype. Often we will do things we have to get done while on skype I might be writing a blog post while he is playing Castlevania. We are both doing things we enjoy and just spending time together.

2. Movie night. This one really helps if you have netflix, but hey blockbuster works too. So put on a movie and be on the phone together. Yes you may not be able to snuggle up while watching a movie, but watching while on the phone does make it feel like you are watching the movie together. It gives a shared experience, and when you think of that movie you will think of the time you spent with your love. It also gives you things to talk about when you are on Skype.


3. Read books together. FYI If you have a good book it might be hard to put down, but remember you are reading the book together. So decide ahead of time how many chapters you will read. Again, when you read a book it gives a shared experience, and it provides an opportunity to get to know your love's views. Here are few books that we really enjoyed reading, The Help, Gregor The Underlander Series, and The Hunger Games.

4. Go to sleep on the phone together. Yeah this might sound a little lame, but give it a try. It is hard for me to explain just why I love to do this so much it just nice going to sleep without have to say good bye.

5. Keep a journal together. This one is in the works for us. Buy a journal and keep it for a couple weeks at a time and write down your thought's or your day or just love letters to your honey. Mail it back and forth to one another. One of the best parts is, is that this journal becomes a keepsake of your love.

6. Plan your visits wisely. When you are going to go see your love it is wise to plan out your visit. This prevents any wasted time together, and allows you to have more memories of doing things together. The planning is also a bonding experience as well, you are able to see what your sweetie finds fun, interesting, or worthy of being time well spent. It also gives you more opportunities to take photos of the two of you doing things together, which you can look at when you go back home.

It's Been a While...

Since I last posted, holidays have come and gone. Here is a brief summary of everything.. 

 I went to go visit this fellow ^ in Louisiana. It was such a wonderful visit.

What is a trip to Louisiana if you don't see a gator?

We did all sorts of things like: Spent time with some of my family, visited a local museum, I got a tour of his childhood neighborhood, we ate Canes chicken, fed ducks, went to the boardwalk, and got lots of Christmas shopping done.

My friend Destrea came to visit me and we had a great time together. I spent Christmas with my family and then came back to school for another semester.
