Weekend Update: Merp

Happy Veterans Day! 

Hope everyone is enjoying their extra day off! Let's remember the men, women, moms, dads, spouses, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, teammates, best friends, acquaintances,  spouses, colleagues, classmates, professors, enemies, frenemies...EVERYONE who made the decision to join the military and be part of a group that fights for our country. Thank you, to all of you!

If you follow me on twitter, you see that I complain a lot about the amount of homework I have to get done. The goal is to get ahead of schedule, so come Wednesday-Sunday of this week I can take time off from school and study for the CBEST, which I am taking Monday. This weekend was full of complaining, and some soccer.

Friday: I stayed in and watched a video about The Lemon Grove Incident and wrote a reflection on it for my diversity class.

Saturday: Chilled during the day, and read one of the longest chapters of my life...and then wrote my reading log for it. That was then followed by going out with Chels and Lime to see our local professional indoor soccer team, the San Diego Sockers! Unfortunately, the team ended up losing the game. I learned that professional indoor soccer is kind of a bigger deal than I thought it would be.

We got to the game early, so the girls and I
had some booze and dinner at Chili's. I got the
Berry Patron Margaritaaaa. Ayyyiyiiyiyi!

2. Our indoor soccer team has cheerleaders.

3. I don't think I'm going back to watch another game. 

This was my first time there, and it was the first 

time in 4 years that they lost a game at home.

4. A) They play quarters, not halves. B) At the end of 

the 3rd quarter, they do an audience frisbee toss.

5. The halftime entertainment of an indoor soccer 

game...was watching kids play indoor soccer. 

It was girls v. mostly boys, with 2 girls. 

Sunday: I spent the day at Barnes & Noble drinking chocolate milk and writing my personal teaching philosophy paper, which was pretty thought provoking. I also saw a guy skype out loud. If I didn't have ear phones...I probably would have been a little more annoyed at it. I finished a couple of other small assignments, and then got the heck out of dodge because it was freezing cold in there!

What I stared at for a good 9 hours.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting? Did your teams win? Mine lost...way to go Chargers.

Never Doing That Again...

This might get me banished by the blog world…but whatevs. I won't mention any names so this post will only be partially passive aggressive.

A few months ago I signed up for a thing that pairs you up with other bloggers and throughout the month you’re supposed to keep in contact throughout the month, follow each other’s blogs, comment on posts, and eventually do a gift swap valued at like $10.00.

March.

1^st month. I was paired up with a chick and didn't really hear from her all month. Didn't get a follow or comments on my posts and only heard from her when I commented on her posts. I can’t hate too much because she did send me a gift that was pretty sweet and reignited my love for ferrero rocher chocolates.

April.

2^nd month, hopefully I’d get paired up with someone cooler because for me it wasn’t so much for the gifts as it was to get to know other bloggers...or so I thought. This month’s partner was much better, we constantly talked, commented on each other’s posts, etc. I had high hopes for this blog friendship. I mailed out my gift and was told that mine might be a little late because the chick didn’t have money. NBD, I understand not having money. But then I not only never heard back about her receiving my gift and if she liked it or her trying to get a hold of me to send me my gift. Whomp. That kind of sucked really hard.

May.

3^rd time is a charm, right? Nope. But this was kind of my fault. I kind of fell off the face of blog world because school was kicking my butt and I needed to make sure I graduated. I didn’t post much so there wasn’t much opportunity for my partner to comment and I did my best to comment on their stuff but kind of sucked at it. Once graduation was said and done, I tried to get a hold of her to at least get our gift swap done and never heard back. Whomp.

Didn't sign up for June, and probably won’t do it ever again but it is what it is…oh well.

Let’s post some favorite random pins to lighten this post up a bit!   

How cute is this?!!

Every. Single. Damn. Time.

Fundraiser: $1.00 per piece of tape. Brilliant.

Country concerts=summer. 1st one of the season is tomorrow!

#swoon. i love zac. amanda bynes has lost it. nikki, well...meh.

Like that one time I was "shush"-ed at a bar for cheering on the USWNT during the world cup. Funny stuff.

Potpourri

A post about everything and nothing, all at the same time...

1) The crack house is about 80% done! We added flooring and tile, and the windows are being worked on as we speak. A lot of our belongings have been moved over. We spent our first night there Saturday. All that is left is painting the bathroom cabinets, replacing outlets, adding curtains, screw on cabinet and drawer handles, and organizing our stuff. I'm hoping to get my TV working by tonight because I'm an episode behind on Ellen! There's still things on my to-do list like replacing bedroom and closet doors, changing the bathroom counter and shower tile, adding tile to the kitchen counter, and totally revamping the back yard...but those will all happen with time. All the work we've been doing was to make the place livable  so now that it is, we're good to go!   

2) Remember that Padres game I didn't go to last week? Welp, turns out that was one of the more exciting games the Pads will have all season...besides the fight with the Dodgers. 17 innings, 5 hours later, a Padres win! Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse about it though. Whomp. Oh well.

3) Team USA soccer was happening this weekend. US v. Germany men's game resulted in a 3-4 win in the United States favor, and the US v. Canada women left us with a 3-0 win for the US! 

Girl crush Alex Morgan got 2 in the net!

Sydney Leroux "shush-ing" the crowd after her goal.

These two Sydney Leroux images are kind of a big deal because she’s been getting a lot of crap for playing with the US. She is Canadian born to an American father and Canadian mother. She holds dual citizenship between the US and Canadia but has chosen to play with the US national team over Canada’s these last few years/forever. She scored the last goal of the game this weekend and walked around the field a little before grabbing the badge of her jersey, kissed it, and then “shushed” the crowd. According to her twitter, she was called racial slurs, taunted, and family was being talked about. Not cool Canada soccer fans. P.S. none of these pictures of mine, and were stolen from here and here.

4) I am friends with some pretty beastly folks. 12 fb/instagram buds did the San Diego Rock & Roll (half and full) marathon this weekend and kicked it in the face! 1 even qualified for the Boston marathon! Props to all of you because I can't even begin to imagine racing! The last one I did...which was a 5K, kicked my butt! BUT It's on the "things to do before you die" list so I might entertain the idea for next year! We'll see...stay tuned :] P.S. That list has been updated, 2 things have been crossed off...can you guess which ones?

5) Last but most definitely not least, Tim McGraw is this weekend with Love & Theft and Brantley Gilbert! County concert season is officially starting and I bought my tickets a while ago! I saw Tim like 3 or 4 years ago with Kayyy and then last summer up in Anaheim!He puts on such a great show, and I'm super excited to see the other 2! Hopefully Faith Hill makes a guest appearance!
