CAUTION: THIS POST IS NOT ENTIRELY FILLED WITH EVERY DETAIL AND NUANCE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It's the equivalant of Swiss Cheese, which we all know is the best cheese!
Why wasn't I given a courtesy warning about how aggraviting applying to school can be? Seriously guys, I almost had a meltdown today in the library after asking my mom for one bit of information of hers. I'm better now and can actually form words and sentences to chronicle the whole debacle.
This morning after getting my brother up and off to school I laid back down because 7 am is not a great functioning time for me, well I set my alarm to wake me back up at like 10 or so so that I could get some shit done and get this whole thing done and over with. I slept through the alarm!!!! I woke up at noon instead and checked my phone to see the time and nearly fell out of the bed trying to get out so that I could make up for the things I should have been doing earlier.
I had already filled out my Housing App and was starting to feel really good about it all until I went on the school's website and saw that the FAFSA information that I semi-celebrated completing yesterday was not in fact the right thing! I don't even know what the hell I did, nor do I care to say more about it then I'm going to here. I got up, got dressed and damn near flew to the library to fix everything. I got there and filled out the right information and am now almost done, again!! I also went to my old high school to get my high school transcripts and immunization information and I kind of started to miss it. Kind of. I definitely don't miss the "holier than thou" mindsets that some of the kids have these days but it also comes with living in an upper middle class town but actually being lower middle class.
Now all I have left to do is finish the FAFSA (again) and get another one of my transcripts and take the transcripts and housing information to the school. I'm so exhausted.
Also, my deadline in May 2, and I don't have my transcripts for the CC I went to.Though I'm going to try and get them tomorrow so that I can hand deliver everything myself on Monday. My head is going to explode!!
I'm so close, yet it feels so far away too.
I'm chalking today up to yet another one of Life's Lessons.
How is everyone's Friday going?
P.S If you don't see anymore posts from me after the 2nd or 3rd of May then you can assume that I've probably freaked out and ran away or have just gone to sit in a corner and am crying and talking to a plant.

"So, how's your love life?"
The other night I was on Facebook just passing time and catching up with some old friends that I haven't talked to in awhile and some newer faces in my life that truthfully I didn't really want to be talking to at the moment. Because let's face it, when you have nothing to say to that person then talking to them is just a waste of yours and their time.
I digress.
One of my best friend's popped up in the chat box and after a bit of talking about and making future plans she told me that she was possibly seeing a new guy, I love her but the girl doesn't pick em too well. Then again I have no room to talk or judge, my latest adventures with boys have not been anything to get to excited about. Then she asked me a question that I somehow knew was coming, yet it still kind of felt like taking a bullet. Not a big one, maybe just a BB. With all the innocence and sweetmess in the world she asked, "so how's your dating life?".....I simply replied "it's a desert, and I push away any chances of rain that come my way right now." Because I'm crazy like that, I wouldn't mind having someone in my life sure, what girl doesn't? But at the same time I've got too much on my plate and in my sights right now to worry about something like the opposite sex. One day he will come, and then I'll be ready.
But in other news as grueling as this whole applying to college thing is and I'm almost in the home stretch there sure seems to be a lot of new stuff popping up, Stupid semantics, always getting in my way. But at least I'm getting closer and closer everyday.
I just want them to say "Yes" and then my heart can stop racing like Seabiscuit.
Sorry but now I'm curious and am going to ask, how's your love life??
xoxo

Adventures in Babysitting-my version
So despite my exhaustion and lack of feeling in the face today, I have yet to sleep it off STILL! I'm exhausted, but as soon as my mom gets home and can make my brother listen more I can than I'm going to go give my pillow some much needed loving. My mom's little staying up til 2 am thing last night when we all had tons of stuff to do today, and early was nowhere near cool with me.
So today other than having the adventure with the dentist and getting the feeling back into my face I also got to help my brother find his new Nintendo DSi that the Easter Bunny brought him, that I told him not to take it outside with him. He didn't listen and he ran out the door right as I uttered the word" outside". The little shit ran back inside after about an hour of playing and was red in the face and had claimed that a kid in a ski mask and with a backpack had stolen his new toy. My other brother came inside and heard the tale and after some scalding from my brother and from my mom (who was at work) and I we all trekked outside into the chilly night air and began to search for the stupid toy.
We interrogated half of the neighborhood kids before my brother finally spilled the real story! Oh, I was SO pissed at him! Not only because he lied to our faces (duh), he also had my mom so pissed that in her moment of madness she said that if we didn't find it then she was going to kick me out! Not even close to cool madre, especially since I would have nowhere but my tiny car to live in and that's some close quarters. I'm doing my own things already to try and move out though.
Here's what else I did today; I applied to the school I'm looking at and had a little help from a friend that currently goes there with the rest of the process. All I need to do now is get my transcripts from the CC I went to a few years ago for one pathetic semester and from my high school and go to the school and fill out a room application and get my mom to fill out her nine lines on the FAFSA! Then there's the wait, I don't even know how I will deal with that process other than patiently because it would be my only choice. Now that I've done more of the application process the future looks a hint brighter every day.
So yes, even though this is my second post of the day and the day has had it's moments of major suckage it has also been quite productive depending on how it's looked at. Thank you Leanne for reminding me that it really wasn't all that bad.
As a special treat I'm going to copy and paste some of the tweets that I tweeted while under some heavy sedation today at the dentist's. You're welcome.
I want to eat a stack of French Toast right now, or sleep. (before the fun started)
I can't feel half of my face, peace out gitl scouts (yup, the meds have hit. Hence the spelling error)
Dentists should give patients dry erase boards or be required to know basic sign language, lol (I showed this to the dentist's assistant upon hitting Tweet, haha)
I feel like I just got beat up (after the procedure) I looked fine, but I felt like Rocky had just beat me up.
I'm @thelovelygirl on Twitter, if anyone cares.
Oh! I almost forgot that I made a cake tonight, I get bored and I bake the first thing that I see in the pantry. It's terrible. I don't think that it's going to be anywhere near as pretty as Juliet's was but I didn't have the proper tools. One day though.
Have a great day/night everyone

I can't feel my face.
I'm tired, I can't feel the right side of my face and I'm not going to work today.
If you were wondering, yes I did just get back from the dentist. It wasn't that bad but it wasn't that fun either. So this post is going to be a short/crazy post. I got a root canal done today and they had to shoot me up with numbing meds twice, on top on the topical stuff that made my tongue feel like a fat pink slug.
Even after all of the medical shit that I have gone through I still have a problem with needles. I'm usually one tough cookie when it comes to pain tolerance and sickness but a pain in the tooth is a pain in my ass, I seriously act like a guy with the hint of a cold. It's ridiculous!
Have a good day everyone, it's time for me to put in an application, and go to sleep.

40 Days and 40 Nights of NO Facebook
I did what most can't in this day and age, at least no one that I know on a personal level can. Well I have one friend that is hardly on it anyways,but I digress. I gave up one of world's biggest time sucks for Lent-Facebook. I actually think that I have become a little better of a person because of the hiatus, even as I write this I'm not even on it. I got back on for about 4 minutes and I don't have much of a desire to get back on it, at least right now. The addiction may slowly kick back in but for now I'm going to enjoy the release of the death grip that it holds on people.
During my absence on Facebook I have managed to;
-improve my blogging, little by little, hello new and old followers! You guys are the coolest :)
-I have avoided any and ALL of the drama and Facebook that may have been going on in my social circles, a drama free life is a good life in my opinion.
-I have also finished a book that I have been trying to finish for awhile, work and life got in the way. It was great and something that I kind of needed. I also bought myself two books for Easter- Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (chick lit is a guilty pleasure of mine) and The Help by Kathryn Stockett which is also being made into a movie like SB and Emma Stone is going to be in it!
-My dating life has also been um, active? Though I don't think that taking myself out to eat and seeing movies really counts and going on ONE actual date with a guy counts as having a dating life. But it's whatever.
-I have started the college application process and things are going slightly well, except like the getting in part. Which I'm working on and praying that the process goes smoother than it started.
So the nerves they are a fraying. But everything will be okay, I usually get what I want if I put my mind to it and want it badly enough and this is something that I want BAD!
So I want to know, what did you give up for Lent if anything? How did it go?

East Coast Cats (Guest Post #2)
Hello! I'm Samantha from S.S.Vintage, and today I want to take a moment to introduce you to a couple of cool, New York Cats!
Meet Norman, and June Bug. They live with us, happy little fuzzy balls, in our home in New York. They are brother and sister, and they're going to be celebrating their Birthday's next month! (One year old!)
New York has a lot to offer. We have the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Ontario. Cornell University, The Syracuse Orangemen, Coney Island, The Catskill Mountains, Four Beautiful Seasons, and Buffalo Wings! Not to mention the Cultural Mecca, New York City!
Norm and June aren't really all that interested in our great state. What really makes their day is when a bird or squirrel is within view from the window.
Norman is a shy boy. He cries when he thinks he's alone, but he'd be embarrassed if he knew I told you that. He is one of the sweetest animals I've ever met. He loves to get himself entirely under the blankets, and every time he enters a room he meows as if to say 'Hello'..
Favorite Food: A Wendy's Baconator.
Nicknames: Fish, Teddy Bear, Tedford, Mr. Smooshy Face.
Now, here's the Princess.
I'd never name an animal 'princess' but, if you met June, you would absolutely understand. I think she was just born into the title. June Cat's hair is so long and soft, it actually parts down her back. I've never seen anything like it. Sometimes we questions weather or not she's actually real, or just some creature from Narnia. She's beautiful, I feel pretty lucky she lives with us.
Fun Fact About June: She can only make two expressions: Grumpy, and Grumpier! But both faces look adorable.
Nicknames: Poopsie, June Face, Grumps, Princess.
Thanks for taking the time to meet my Cats! Stop by S.S.Vintage for occasional photos of them, they're growing so fast right now!

A tale of two kitties: The West Coast pt. 1 (guest post)
The other day I asked one of my newly found friends from Twitter and the blogosphere if they would do a guest post for because my brain was out of any sorts of ideas for you guys. This is one of them. Enjoy and Thank you Tammy and Rosco!
Hello everyone. My name is Rosco P. Coltrane and Tammy (PuNk rAwK pUrL), asked me to help out her friend Nicole by writing a blog post. I am a cat. I am a very smart and charismatic cat. But I am a cat. And as a cat, I haven't written a lot of blog posts in my life. I don't really know what to write about it, so I think that I will just tell you all a little bit about myself.
I just turned 11 years old last month, but everyone says that I don't look a day over 6. I am a Pisces, which is a fish. I like to eat fishes, so I guess that makes sense. When I was a baby the vet told Tammy that I am an Abyssinian mutt, or an Abby Tabby. I was named after the bumbling sheriff from the 1970's TV show The Dukes of Hazzard. Tammy has a lot of nicknames for me, such as: Bosco, Professor-Stinky-Bottom, Rosco-fina, Little-Dude, Booger (cause she picked me), Sir-Meows-a-Lot, and a bunch more.
Things I love::
I will have my own column on Tammy's blog soon. Basically the pets of bloggers can email me & ask me for advice on different things. It will be called "Dear Rosco". If you are a pet and your human blogs send me an email to request the format for being featured in my column. Dear_Rosco [at] me [dot] com
thanks for reading! all of this typing has exhausted me and I am now going for a nap.
xoxo

p.s. I have my own set of photos on flickr. Tammy talks about me a lot on her blog. And you wanna see the items that I oversee quality control of... you can find them over at Tammy's Etsy shop.

Things I love::
- My scratching post with the hot pink springy pom pom on the top. (Tammy points and laughs a lot whenever I use it.)
- People rubbing my feet or my tummy
- Catnip. (I know where Tammy keeps it and I try to break in and get it sometimes)
- Modeling hand-knit hats, scarves and cowls. ( I prefer alpaca, cashmere, or angora)
- Grooming people... or anything with hair/fur.
- Chewing on pineapple leaves
- Rolling around in the bathtub after the shower has just been on and then licking myself dry... it saves me A LOT of saliva.
