Day 18: Stuffing Myself

Today I'm kind of squeezing in a post because right now I really should get back to studying. 

If you know me you know that I go to Pink's Hot Dogs in LA about once a week, well last week a couple of my friends and I (Sean is included!) decided to go to Pinks for one week straight. We went from Sunday to Saturday night. Usually I get the same thing every time I go which is the Philly Cheese steak Hot Dog, but since I would be there for a week I decided to try and get something different every night. The first night I had the usual, Monday night I had the Gustavo Dog. The Gustavo Dog has the bun, hotdog, american and swiss cheese, guacamole, fajita mix, jalapenos(i didn't get them) topped with tortilla chips. I liked the dog except for the guacamole on top. I guess I'm not one who liked guac on a hot dog :/ On Tuesday night I got the Emeril Bam Dog, this dog had cheese, bacon, jalapenos(still didn't get them) topped with cole slaw. This dog was really good, all except for the overpowering cole slaw. On Wednesday I got the Emeril again but this time I asked for cole slaw on the side, this time it tasted even better. Thursday night I went with the usual again because it seemed that everything I tried had something I didn't like so I got something I knew I would love! Friday night I got...what did I eat on Friday night. Too many pinks and everything blurs together, oh well I don't remember Friday, but Saturday I planned to go out big. I ordered the 3 dog night. This dog is not in a bun, but in a tortilla with cheese, chili, bacon, onions, and 3 hot dogs. I was really excited for this because every one said it was good. Sadly I did not like it. The chili was too overpowering for me. I never got to any of the onions because all I could taste was the chili :/ I ate about half of this and gave the rest to Sean, then I got my Philly haha.

All in all that week was full of a lot of calories, fat, and a good time with friends. I was surprised I didn't get tired of Pinks since I am still not one who likes hot dogs, well, except for Pink's Hot Dogs!

Til Next Time!

Day 17: TMI

So nothing really new has happened since Vegas so I just thought I'd post a little poem/write up thing I did freshman year of college for my creative writing class. I am very proud of this and if you really know me you understand why, if not well this might be a little TMI. Enjoy!

‘CONSTIPATION’

What is it about this word that makes people uncomfortable?

It is something that every human goes through

They just don’t want to admit it.

I guess they just feel ashamed about poop

Or especially poop that won’t come out quickly.

I know, it hurts when you are trying to push it out but,

What other way is it going to come out?

If you are that embarrassed trying eating prunes

or even eating healthier so the poop comes out easier.

But until you do that just remember not to push too hard

And to enjoy your time on the toilet.

This is quality time with your thoughts

You can think about how much homework you have or

Even do your homework while on the toilet.

Hey, guys take the newspaper why can’t you multitask

And actually get some work done?

Though you won’t admit it

You love the feeling of relief

The moment when all your hard work of waiting has paid off

You hear the “plop” and know you are done

You take a breath and begin to wipe

I think you know how to do that.

This process is over.

‘CONSTIPATION’

It is a normal process that everyone goes through

Why be embarrassed?

Embrace the feeling

The feeling that your body is working

Go ahead, POOP it out!

Day 16: Viva Las Vegas!

So this weekend was a 3 day weekend. My friends and I (Sean, Bryan, and Bryan's friends Kailey and Angela) decided to go to to Las Vegas. I along with Angela have never been to Vegas. Most people think it isn't fun when you aren't 21 but that a whole lot of patooie! We left school Saturday morning. For lunch we ate at a Greek place called Mad Greek, It was pretty good! This Greek restaurant is located in Baker a little ways out of Nevada. After this we continued to head to Vegas. Just outside of Las Vegas was a casino/hotel called Buffalo Bills. Bryan said they had a coaster that was pretty good so we decided to ride it. This coaster was called Desperado. It was fun, fast, and very rough. I had a ponytail in my hair and thought I was going to lose it by the time the ride was over, luckily I didn't. After this Vegas wasn't too far away.

Once we got into Vegas we checked into our hotel. We stayed at the MGM Grand. Our room was the Grand Queen. It was so nice and the beds were super comfy. I've only bee out of the state once and that was back in 8th grade so I really haven't stayed in many hotels so I thought this one was awesome! We freshened up then headed down to the strip. We walked to the New York New York and walked down for a bit then crossed the street and went to the M&M World and Coca Cola factory. After this we grabbed some dinner and continued to walk down the strip. By the time we were ready to turn in we ended up at Caesars Palace in the Forum Shops.

 This was our view from our room at the MGM

 There's our hotel!!

New York New York

There was a lion habitat by the casino on the first floor, Awesomeness!

M&M World taken by Sean

Let me tell you the best part of the trip. I have the greatest boyfriend in the world. He is so great to me and surprises me with things and I appreciate him so much! So earlier that day when we were at Mad Greek I told Sean that at the Forum Shops I wanted to go to the Celine Dion store. Ever since I can remember I have listened to her music and ever since she was first in Vegas I wanted to see her in concert. Bryan mentioned that she was at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which I knew. Sean asked if I wanted to go, I didn't want to spend so much money, well he bought tickets for the following night! My jaw dropped, it was AMAZING what he did. Anyways we walked through half of the Forum Shops and then turned in.

 Here I am in the Forum Shops, I though this would be a good picture :)

 Here is a view of SOME of the Forum Shops plus the sky that changes color throughout the day!

On Sunday we checked out of the hotel at about 12:30 and headed back to the car and packed our stuff. We then headed to Downtown Las Vegas. Here we went to another hotel which had a good hawaiian restaurant called Aloha. From here we decided to check out Fremont street, there were gift shops and a zipeline, a pretty cool place. Here's an interesting tidbit, Fremont street used to be "The Strip" until new hotels were built and now the strip is what it is. After we wanted to check out the Pawn Shop from the TV show on History Channel "Pawn Stars" Here's a little advice with this it's not exactly what you would think it would look like. It is a lot smaller than it appears on the show and you do not see the actual stars from the show. Still if it is something you are interested in do it, there most likely will be a line but it moves pretty fast. By this time it was maybe 2:30, 3 o'clock. We went back to the strip and tried to finish the forum shops at Caesars Palace. We spent the next 3 hours walking it up and down. It is BIG! At about 6 o'clock we all kind of just decided to stay an extra night because it would have been a bad idea to drive back home after the concert. This time it was the Imperial Palace. Totally don't recommend this place, the room smelled like smoke and I didn't really want to pull down the covers and sleep. But for being a last minute thing and only for an extra night for cheap wasn't bad. Since it was so close to the show we grabbed some food before heading to the show.

 Pawn Shop, and look at the line...not bad we waited for only a couple of minutes

Here's what I have been waiting for all day and even longer!!!!

Here's where I get to my favorite part. After we ate Sean and I split away from the group and headed to the Colosseum. We got our tickets from will call and then went inside to get our seats. We were in the second mezzanine area which was high up but still awesome to me. I was super excited, my heart was beating and I just couldn't wait til it got started. Once she came out and started singing I just broke down and cried. I was crying so much Sean asked what was wrong and I said nothing that I was just so happy and he replied I've never seen you so happy that you cried LOL The show was amazing, she did some tributes to people such as Michael Jackson and Etta James. Plus she sand her songs starting from the beginning with Where Does My Heart Beat Now? I was rocking out to all of them, I sang tapped my feet, clapped my hands UGH it was great. I didn't want the night to end. Ever since I can remember people/myfriends have always made fun of me for liking Celine Dion, personally I don't care what they think she sings better than any rapper or those singers that cuss in their lyrics. She is genuine and really cares about her audience and what she sings about.After the show I was the happiest person in the world, I also decided to buy a shirt then headed to the Celine Dion store and bout a key chain and a picture. They didn't have any real posters :( so I bought a big postcard haha. We headed to Chipotle and ate with our friends then headed back to Imperial Palace and later went to bed. 

On our last day in Vegas we woke up and checked out then headed back to the M&M world and then to Mandalay Bay to check out a stain glass window in the House of Blues that Kailey's mom had made. Then we left Vegas.

 Look at me I am so happy! WOOOOO!!!

 Our tickets! :))

The ride home was full of laughter and dancing in the car. This weekend was probably one of the best weekends ever. I achieved one of my ultimate dreams thanks to Sean. I love you so much sweetie!!

Til Next Time!

Day 15: Going on an Adventure!

Ok so I know that I haven't updated my blog in awhile, but there hasn't been much to write about until now...well after the weekend. This weekend is a 3 day weekend and I'm going to Vegas! Yeah I thought to post it here since I can't post it on facebook cuz my dad would kill me haha so after this weekend I will have great stuff to say and lots of pictures posted!

Til Next Time!

Day 14: Getting Back in the Swing of Things

Well my first week back at school is over. This week has been tough not just because I had to get back into a routine but because some things didn't go as I hoped. I haven't been able to purchase books or anything for my classes which is a BIG problem because I have an assignment due tonight and on Monday morning at 8am.

So far I have loved having my car here. I can go to Target by myself instead of bugging Sean and having him take me (I love you sweetie!) and also other places. Since I have my car I sometimes pick Sean up from class kind of as a thank you for the past three years for driving me everywhere!

Honestly this week hasn't been that exciting, nothing has really happened that is worth talking about! The week hasn't been the greatest, my body has been acting weird, I'm tired and have getting headaches often. Probably just because I need to get my routine going. I promise that future posts will be more exciting and informative...ok I can't really promise that cuz everyday is different and most of the time boring haha I shall try my best though!

Til Next Time!

Day 13: Beginning Again

Well here I am, my 3 weeks of Winter Break over. Off to school tomorrow BAH! There is something to be excited about though, 1: I get to see Sean again! and 2: I am finally taking my car to school!

This Winter Break has been fun, I did a lot more things than I have in the past. I was invited to parties which never happens and I finally got my midnight kiss on New Year's Eve! I spent time with the broski and played Clue with my family. I was able to hangout with Kate more and her kitties and even spend time with Sean and his family which I enjoyed immensely. Overall I think I can say that this Winter Break was very good. I am looking forward to going back to school and getting my freedom back, but not the school part. I am very nervous for this quarter, but the way I see it only 5 more months until Summer Vacation!!!

Well that's all for now until school begins.

Til Next Time!

Here is what Adam and I completed over Winter Break, it was so much fun!
