Friday Musings

- I really wish I knew how to do that cute photoshop stuff people make their own buttons that say things like “Friday Musings” in a pretty colored font in front of a stellar picture of a skyline. I could draw it perfectly with my own hands, but when it comes to Photoshop… I fail. {{Just pretend that it is there.}}

***After my friend Angi (from Alaska!) read the post she made me a button! I have the best bloggy friends. This seriously made my entire day. ***

- Once you imagine my imaginary header, go see Silver Linings Playbook. Run to go see this movie. I saw it tonight at the A/perture theater in downtown Winston-Salem, and it was amazing. I really liked it. I might have been covering my eyes out of embarassment for two of the characters at one part during the end. Either way, it was so cute and personal. I cannot recommend this movie enough. Lindsey thinks that my personality is like Tiffany’s in the movie… I would like to think that I am more like Jennifer Lawrence in general.

- Speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, can well all just stand up and give her a round of slow clap applause for being so awesome! Seriously though, I hope younger girls, and all girls in general, look up to her for her spunk and take no crap attitude. I also hope they look up to her for positive body image, because that girl is seriously good looking and she isn’t skin and bones either. Rock on J.Law, rock give-me-a-high-five-I’m-jealous-of-your-boobs-dance-the-happy-dance on.

- I started a new part-time job at the YMCA in Raleigh last week and let me tell you… there are some characters that come into swim. Most of them are old or incredibly attractive men. One man, of the elderly variety, came in a few days ago wearing a speedo. They all love those damn Speedos. He picked the lane right in front of the guard stand and proceeded to swim an impressive amount of yardage for and old dude. There was just one little problem. Mr. Rogers was swimming with his beloved Speedo half way past his butt crack. That’s right people, I got a nice glimps of wrinkly butt and a whole lotta crack for a solid hour. I don’t know if he knew it was like that and didn’t care or if he just couldn’t feel his butt.

- This story is kind of embarrassing, but I am going to tell it anyways. One boy (man really, my age) came in a few days ago, and he was gorgeous. I mean you would wreck your car if you saw him running down the sidewalk shirtless. He was wearing jammers, thank you sweet baby Jesus, and had the body type of my dearest love Michael Phelps. This boy was ripped, but not the stack of 6 pack abs ripped, but the elongageted, gorgeous, you are too pretty for this world, abs. Gorgeous man here had dark hair (couldn’t tell eye color) and just so happens to fall into the Kate’s”dream man” category. So my total dream boat jumps in the pool, and glances up at me… This is when I realize I have been STARING at him from the second he walked onto the pool deck. Not only was I staring, but my jaw was dropped. I am talking gaping jaw drop from which he could totally tell I was looking before I even realized what I was doing. Once I did realize, I turned 50 shades of Red and thought I was going to die. Then I realized he probably got that a lot… For heavens sake, pass the popcorn and let me watch this show. Dream boat man was a pretty good consolation prize for having to stare at saggy butt crack for an hour.

-UNC lost to Miami. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha LOLZ. I bet Wal-Mart is having a hard time selling your merchandise now, suckaz.

- I am already hard core stressed out about the NC State vs. Dook game on Saturday. (That’s #1Duke for all you non-ACC people and/or fans.)

- I am going snowboarding this weekend. It is supposed to be 64 degrees in Banner Elk. Do I care? No. I will ride in shorts and a t-shirt if necessary, but I really hope the weather man was lying and its going to snow. This is my first time up to B.E to snowboard this Winter and I am just really hoping it is awesome. I finally get to put my brand new Ride boots to use!

- I would really like to name a male golden retriever Carter or Finley (or any version of the two) after NC State’s football stadium, but then again maybe I will save those amazingly special names for a real life child.

- I am using my mother’s computer to write this post, and it is weird. First off, she uses Safari. Who even does that anymore? (We need to update you to Google Chrome, mom.) Secondly, her corners are all kinds of wack. Also, her search bar takes you to Time Warner Cable’s wesbite. That is an issue. Mine takes me to Google, and you can just Google your happy heart away.  Another reason to update your search engine. And there are so many more weird and different settings to have a “lastly.” Everybody pretty much needs to have their Mac set up just like mine and you will be perfect.

- I am really not sure how I would have graduated from college without Google. Take home English Lit exam? Let’s just type this quote in the search tab and have all the information unfold right at my fingertips. Yes, that really happened. Yes, I got an A. (Not a 100 though, you have to miss a few on purpose.)

That is all I have for you folks today! I will see you on the mountain.
