I hope y'all had an awesome weekend; I sure did. Well not really but let's just all pretend that I did, mmkay? Thanks.
What have I been up to, you wonder? {even if you don't, please go along with it...You will be greatly rewarded. I don't know how yet but I'll keep you updated on that.}
I have been having writer's blog (GET IT??? WRITER'S BLOG? LIKE "WRITER'S BLOCK"! HAHAHA! I CRACK MYSELF UP.) so I have been literally just staring at my computer screen for hours waiting for all the thoughts rambling on in my head to just calm the eff down so I could write something plausible but alas, all I could muster writing was utter crap and I can't give you guys utter crap; y'all deserve more. I have so many drafts right now in my folders, it's crazy insane.
Did it ever happen to you when you start writing something, it totally makes sense in your head and the second you start proof-reading your stuff, it starts falling apart like Lindsay Lohan? Yeah? Welcome to the club.
I've also caught myself daydreaming alot lately, about beach vacations and just digging my feet through white sand and dipping my toes in warm cool water; I miss going to the beach.
Whilst I can't go to the beach I decided to brush up on my cooking skills. I have been searching the world wide web for easy recipes; I must admit I was struggling with it all until a light shone down from heaven {not really} and I fell upon Pionner Woman's website. "Wow", is all I can say. The food looked so delish and so easy to make.I've made some recipes over the past few days and so far, I've made :
Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp
Fettucine Alfredo
Shrimp Risotto
Funnel Cakes
Mocha Silk Pie minus the Kahlua- Since I don't drink, I added cappucino. That is still in the fridge right now since I made it yesterday, so I'll be thinking of you all when I eat it tonight.
I also found a new love for cottage cheese; how have I been living and breathing for the past 22 years and not come across this little gem? I shall never know but "YUM" is all I can say and speaking of cottage cheese, I'm craving some right now. Excuse me while I go get some.
* Insert elevator music*
Okay, I'm back. Oh, you know what? the CRAZIEST thing happened to me yesterday. Let me situate you a little bit.
Location: Supermarket Parking Lot, Béthune, France
Actors: Yours truly, random 50-year-old man with his green jacked-up car.
Time: 14:20pm
Scene I
I was walking down the bridge from the train station and I was going to the supermarket to go pick up some shrimp (Can you tell I love seafood? ) and I get to the roundabout/traffic circle when I hear whistles. I look up and see this old man in his jacked-up car LITERALLY getting his head out of the car just to take a serious look at yours truly. I must admit I was looking mighty fine too so I mean, I get it :) {Can you say conceited much?}
Scene II
I nod it off and continue my walk across the roundabout/traffic circle and see the same man AGAIN coming around the roundabout/traffic circle, taking another look. I was like "Yeah, okay it's flattering but he better not come back a third time; then it'll go from flattering to freaky." Guess what? He came back a third time; at this point I reached the supermarket and I was walking across the parking lot.
Scene III
Dude has the balls, cojones, cahunas, whatever you wanna call them, to get out of his car and come up to me; at this point, I started fearing for my life. It didn't help that I watched "P2", the previous night, which ironically, is a thriller set in a parking lot and although it was broad daylight, I felt like he was about to put a chloroformed tissue on me and drag me out of that parking lot and I would never see all my loved ones ever again. Let's just say I have a vivid imagination. He starts complimenting me for the longest time and essentially on how I'm the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen and that if I give him the teeniest chance, albeit it be 1 in a trillion kinda chance, he would worship the ground I would walk on.
First of all, I am not used to people worshiping the ground I walk on and I don't know how confortable I would feel with that; I'm not also used to people openly hitting on me like that and I'm sure as hell not used to strangers saying that I'm the most gorgeous woman ever. Second of all, all I could think about while this random man is babbling on is: "Why do I keep attracting old creepsters? What is it about me that keep them coming at me, like honey on bees?". I need to figure that ish out, ASAP!
He then looked at me with puppy-dog eyes, trying to hit my soft spot; damn him!!! I am a sucker for puppy-dog eyes. When I'm put on the spot, I fumble A LOT and fumbled I did. This is what came out and I'm keeping it short with the "ermmms" and "umms":
"Errmmmmmmmmmmm...........................Thank you........................I guess............................But ummmmmmm............I'm gonna pass..................................................So......ermmmm............bye!!"
I cannot handle stressful situations like that and I felt so awkward that I took 2 showers. *Shudder* Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl.
In other news, I am trying to grow out my hair. I know it's not huge news but for me it is. It is HUMONGOUS. I have had short hair for about a decade of my life. I cut them for the first time when I was twelve and I've been keeping it short ever since. And it's not even because I like short hair.
You know when your hair is growing out, and it's not your short hairstyle but it's not chin length nor shoulder length either? It's like in an awkward phase where it's lifeless and mostly, not STYLISH at all. I hate that part of the growth so in order not to deal with it, I've always went back to the short hairstyle. But I've stuck it out for the past 6 months. My hair had a tendency to grow an inch every 3 months; but for the last six months, I haven't touched my hair except cutting 1/2 an inch just for my split ends and surprisingly, it grew about 4 to 5 inches.

{This is what it looked like in december; very buzzed at the back and Victoria Beckham bob-ish in the front}
{This is when it's curly; it's longer if straightened}
{I can't wait 'til the day it gets that long - via we heart it }
