Day 26

Day 26: What are some things that make you feel warm and fuzzy?

Well, for starters, I LOVE baby animals! I can't help but to squee or want to hold them, whether they are tiny puppies or kittens, or polar bears and hippos.

When the boyfriend does something small, but still really thoughtful. Like one time, he was really late getting home, and I couldn't get him to answer the phone at all, and I was REALLY starting to worry he had gotten in a wreck, or something was wrong. I went outside as soon as he got here, and he had stopped and waited in a long line at the drive thru to get me a Dr. Pepper, because he knew that we had run out at home. It was pretty awesome, even though it was mixed with the worry... haha

When I get to spend time with my really close group of friends, I would definitely describe that as warm and fuzzy. No matter how long we have been apart, we are always able to pick right back up where we left off. There is never any awkwardness and we usually spend our time catching up, cuddling/watching movies, or drinking and karaoke. (PS! I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!)

Hugs... Hugs make me so happy. They are one of my favorite things for sure. I love the feeling of having someone's arms wrapped around me, the safety it seems to provide, whether it be my safety, or me providing it for someone else (ie my niece).

Day 25

Day 25: A song to fit your mood right now

After writing that letter, I'm a little depressed, but I realize exactly how much I love and appreciate everyone that I am close to. I love this song, because no one knows what is waiting for us after we die, but as long as we love the best and most we can, then we've accomplished all that we can.

Day 24

Day 24: Seven things that cross your mind alot

1. how to make more money/new job

2. moving to Austin

3. the future

4. the friends I don't see often enough

5. learning new trades/hobbies

6. food, especially La Salsita's

7. the boyfriend :D

Day 23

Day 23: A letter to someone, anyone...

I thought about writing a letter to bad customers, and people who are in general mean, or ignorant... but I decided to write a different kind of letter. This may be kind of a tear jerker, so if you aren't into super sad/depressing blogs, you might not want to read this.

Dear Granny (my great grandmother who died around 5 years ago),

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I've been thinking about how amazing of a woman you were. You were a spit-fire lady, and didn't take any shit off of anyone. Even in your frail state near the end, you were easily one of the strongest women I've ever known.

You were 20 years old when you married Grandpa. You took on more responsibility than anyone I know when he went into war and you had to provide for your children and work all along. You made tough decisions that always turned out to be the right ones. You upheld your morals and shaped mine today.

When I think about you, I hope that you would have been proud of me... of the decisions I've made, of the people I love, and who I am. I think that you might understand me better than some of the people I'm closest to now.

I still think about that time we laughed so hard in the kitchen until we were crying and everyone looked at us like we were crazy, no one thought it was funny except for us. At your funeral, you weren't even a wisp of the woman I knew, I couldn't even look in your casket. I was broken-hearted. I was so upset that I didn't get to spend as much time with you as I would have liked. Even now, I still regret that we lived so far away, but in retrospect, the time we spent together was made even more precious because of the distance.

I miss you everyday.

Love always,

Sheritta

Day 22

I am bad at blogging. They say that the best thing about the 30 day challenge is that it helps to create a habit, so you can blog every day.... I'm just not sure why I can't keep up with it. I need to figure out some way to remind myself.

Day 22:

Do you have any piercings or tattoos?

My ears are pierced, I used to have double holes, and a cartilage piercing but they grew up. I also had a Monroe piercing but had to take it out when I was looking for another job, and it grew up as well. I loved it so much though, that I'm currently trying to find a job where I can get it again, and it won't matter :)

I have two tattoos as of now. I have a heart on my lower back, and a dark mark on my left forearm. They both have pretty special meanings to me, but I feel like everyone is so over hearing about tattoos and meanings... lol

Day 21

Day 21: Your favorite picture of yourself of all time and why

I think that this is probably my favorite picture of myself. I remember this day and I genuinely felt pretty when I took this picture. And later a friend told me that he thought I was pretty when I was happy... It was just one of those things that stuck with me. Also, my face is clear of acne, my hair was cute, and my makeup was perfect... :)

Day 20

Seriously, I suck at blogging everyday... I just am not good at this. I try to keep up, but I forget. I need to set some sort of blog alarm or something... haha

Day 20: Name all the places you have lived

Well, I'm assuming you mean towns, because I'm not going to list all of my addresses... haha

I was born in Arkansas, and lived in Flippin/Yellville until I was 6ish. We moved to Orangefield, Tx. Then a few years later, we moved to Mauriceville, and when I graduated high school, I moved to Beaumont. Hopefully soon I can add Austin, Tx to this list.

Day 19

Day 19: Name a tv show you have become addicted to

There are several television shows I'm addicted to. Some of them are quite shameful.

These are the shows I can't live without:

Grey's Anatomy

The Office

Parks and Recreation

Glee

Jersey Shore

Modern Family

Off the Map

I've seen every episode of all these television shows. It makes me really sad to think of the cast changes and the shows ending. I hope you guys don't judge me too harshly... haha

Day 18

Another tough one!

Day 18: What do you want to be when you get older?

Well, I am older. At least, I am old enough that I should be doing what I "wanted to do when I grew up" at least... And I'm not, not yet anyhow.

I don't really want a traditional job. There are so many things that I want to do. I kindve want to be a Renaissance Woman, a Jack(Jane?)-of-All-Trades if you will. I want to be able to do alot of things, but not actually have to WORK to get money. I want to do the things I love, and the things I'm doing now just aren't it.

I would like to be a chef, a crafter(well, to actually make money off of it anyways), a photographer, a bartender, an artist, a model, a cosmetologist... I want to work as a Disney character in Florida, I want to be a fashionista, I want to own a food truck.

Most of all, I want a job where I can take pride in the things I create, and make people as happy as Libby(my friend's daughter) was when she saw Toodee, the felt animal I made. I want to base all of my future work's integrity on happiness. If I'm not happy and if I'm not making people happy, how can I take pride in anything that I do?

Oh, 6:30 am... you bring out this person I don't like to show people.

I want to make YOU happy.

Day 17

Ok, well I know I dropped the ball again today, but I got a few big things off my plate today. I finished editing the photos for my brother's girlfriend, I finished designing their baby shower invitations, and picked up all the supplies to make the cake for the shower... And I FINALLY finished the repairs/re-making the plush Toodee doll for a friend's daughter. All the while, I've been watching Firefly, a requirement for the new RPG we are starting, Serenity. I can't believe I haven't watched this before. It's one of my new favorite shows. I only have two episodes left and then the movie.

Anyway, to today's assignment... It's kindve a downer...

Day 17: If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on Earth?

This is a super tough one... Considering I'm exhausted and all I really want to do is sleep, that is about all I can think about.. In actuality, I would probably normally say something like: I would spend time with loved ones and cherish our time together... But in reality I would probably want to party pretty hard. Think about it, no hangover or consequences the next morning. I won't go into details, but I would probably try alot of things I haven't ever tried before. And probably let a select few know exactly how I feel.

I think I'm going to get ahead of myself and post the post for today. geez, I'm tired. But seriously, I love you guys. Make me post!

Day 16

Day 16: A picture of someone you have a crush on

It's this guy...

The boyfriend...
He who makes me laugh...
The guy with the beard...
That nerd...
The king of goofy...
My best friend...
The guy who pretends to be mad to make me laugh...

The man I'm in love with, the guy with my heart, the one who changed everything.

I love you, BB.

day 15

Day 15: 5 pictures of celebrity crushes!

Alan Rickman

Jeff Goldblum

David Duchovny

Gillian Anderson

Keira Knightley

I totally have girl crushes. I mean, I'm not a lesbian, but these girls are hotties, and I wish I could be them.

Day 14

Day 14:

Three confessions of your choice...

Hmm... Ok well this is hard. I'm pretty open with most of my info, but here goes.

#1: On Friday, I got a tattoo based off of Harry Potter. I'm an uber nerd, but because I was afraid it was going to look too gothic, I changed it up a bit, so it is customized and no one else in the world has the same tattoo as me.

#2: I watch Jersey Shore. I really don't like for people to know that, but I love it. I want to be Snookie's best friend. She is so funny, and while she may be dumb, I feel like she has a good heart. She would probably be a better friend than some of the ones I have now... haha

#3: I would say yes

Also, I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting. I have a ton on my plate right now. I have a plushie to make, Senior photos to edit, baby shower invitations to design, a cake to design/make for a baby shower, photos to edit from a photo shoot from my friends, ship items for ebay, and to finish revamping my etsy website and to make a ton of jewelry and felt animals to put in my shop.

Plus, I have to actually work. The boyfriend and I have been pretty busy this weekend. I really miss having nothing to do except lay around and watch tv. Also, his schedule change has really screwed things up, for me at least. It has completely thrown my schedule out of wack, but it will be better soon, I think. Thanks for sticking with me!

Day 13

Day 13:

A screenshot of your Desktop.

I LOVE SNAPE!!! Also, Alan Rickman is dreamy :D

Day 12

Day 12:

What is your favorite quote?

"Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love"-- Charlie

Brown

Being in love with someone who isn't in love with you takes all of the joy out of life, even the smallest things are fruitless and boring. Been there, done that...

I'm in love, and loved back now, so I my peanut butter is full of flavor.

Day 11

Day 11:

If you could only live off of one food for the rest of your life what would it be?

Easily it would be tacos from Salsita's. They are delicious, next time I eat there, I will take photos of them, and share the deliciousness with you.

Day 10

Sorry. I have been really busy Excuses, excuses... anyway

Day 10:

Pet Peeves

My biggest pet peeves have to be bad drivers and leaving cabinet doors open.

Bad drivers are no fun, learn to use your turn signals, don't slam on your brakes, make sure your brake lights work, and don't cut me off.

I HATE when people leave my cabinet doors open. My brothers used to do it growing up, and it just annoys me. Sometimes, the boyfriend does it, but I have him trained pretty well.

I will go update the rest of the days I missed! Sorry!

Day 9

Three things you want to say to different people...

This one is kinda tough... I'm not going to list names, or tell anyone who they are about.

#1 You changed my life. You are a big reason for who I am today and I owe you a big thanks.

#2 I will always remember the things you told me. You taught me to be respectful, to watch what I say, and how I act, but not to take shit from anyone and instead, to hand it out like candy. You helped me to develop my sense of humor, and humbled me all in one conversation. You were one of the biggest influences of my life. I miss you everyday.

#3 You are one of the best things to ever happen to me. You've changed my mind about many things, and pulled me out of my pit of despair. The camaraderie we share is the easiest so far in my life. You are the other half of my orange.

Day 8

It's my birthday!

Day 8: Do you read? What are your favorite books?

No, I don't read. I never actually learned how....

Yes, I read. I love to read. I've seriously read like 7 books in the last couple of months.

Starting with my absolute favorites:

Harry Potter series

Jane Eyre

Song of Ice and Fire series

Any Harlan Coben mysteries

The Eldest series

and many,many more. I recently just finished the 4th book of a Song of Ice and Fire, and am waiting in anticipation for the next book to be released this Summer. I am also VERY excited for the HBO series "A Game of Thrones" which starts in next month!

I am currently reading one of Harlan Coben's mystery novels "In the Woods". I'm not even a fan of mystery novels normally, but sometime in 2003 or 2004, I read one of his novels and was captivated. I finished the book in a day, which isn't completely unusual for me. I'm a fast reader, and his thrilling page turner "Tell No One" left me unable to put the book down. His mysteries are the only mystery novels that I've ever been able to read and not figure out the who or why early on.

But again, I'm a huge reader. I have probably read over 500 books since junior high school, when my passion for reading set sale. So I think that it is safe to say I'm a fan of books.

Day 7

Another late one... Sorry guys, today was a not-so-good one... It wasn't necessarily bad, but lady cramps on the first day suck. Also, it has officially been my birthday for one hour and one minute, and I decided that it would be appropriate for me to wait (I will explain in a moment).

Day 7: What band or musician is important to you?

Some of you will probably scoff at my choice, but Lady Gaga is really important to me. I have friends who like her music, but believe that she is way over the top. I love it. I LOVE her theatricality. I love that she is insanely weird and doesn't care to hide it. I don't believe that she is trying to copy others, I feel that she is completely comfortable with who she is and who she wants to be. So comfortable that she really does not care what others think. I can only imagine being so comfortable with who I am.

She also is a HUGE advocate for LGBT. I am so passionate about this issue. I have quite a few friends who are gay and I believe they should have every exact right that any other American has. It shouldn't even be a decision decided by a vote. Everyone is supposed to have equal rights, and we obviously don't... Ok, stepping off of my soapbox.

We also share the exact same birthdate and year. It's silly, but I feel as if we share a connection.

Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and blog for Day 8 too. Sorry for putting off blogging. I hope to get better at this! haha

Baby, I was born this way.

Day 6

Day 6's assignment is to name five places that I want to travel to.

Spain

(I was a Spanish major in school, and had the opportunity to go there for a Summer, but ended up not being able to pay the whole amount. I lost half of my payment, and missed out on the chance of a lifetime.)

Italy

( I have a very good friend who lives in Italy, and I miss her so very much. Also, Italy not only has amazing food, and beautiful people, but some really awesome beaches.)

United Kingdom/surrounding areas

(The culture has always interested me and my ancestry stems from Ireland/Scotland--there is actually a debate as to where exactly my last name/family originated, so I would really like to do some hands on investigating.)

Disney World

(A childhood dream that hasn't come true...yet!)

and this is kinda cheating, but across the US... hahaha

I have only been to about 6 states of the 50, so I feel like I still need to experience America.)

<>

Day 5

I dropped the ball, so I'm going to make a few posts... Sorry :(

Day 5 was supposed to be an outfit post, so first let me explain.

Monday is my birthday, and I decided to have a get-together/birthday dinner at the local Thai food place. Usually I have a costume party, but since I'm turning 25, and I'm a quarter of a century old, I decided it needed to be classy. So the theme this year was "F*cking Classy."

Here is a photo of my outfit:

Sorry again!

Day 4

Today is an easy one!

Day 5: Where did you get your blog name?

My blog name consists of two of my favorite things, cupcakes and unicorns...

Also, a really long time ago, I saw a t-shirt that had a unicorn pooping out cupcakes, and it stuck with me. I thought it was disgusting/cute at the same time. So that's where it came from :D

This was the shirt I saw, btw...

Day 3

Day 3's assigntment is to give a detailed description of my day...

We went to bed pretty late last night, and I slept in until a little before noon. I logged into Facebook, and the very first thing that I see was that Elizabeth Taylor died. Needless to say, if you are a girl, you can not deny that Liz was one of the classiest ladies of all time. She made a name for herself rather early in her life, and her name basically became a brand that defined class.

Back to my day, I woke Chris up, and played on the internet for a while. While Chris was in the shower, I started to play Dragon Age II, which is pretty awesome. I haven't been playing as often as I want, but I made up for it by killing dragons, Stone Golems, Shades and many other creatures.

After Chris left for work, a friend came over and we went to eat. Not Salsita's, but still Mexican food. We went to Elena's and for once I was pretty disappointed with the food. The salsa and chips were awesome, but that's one of my favorite meals... haha. I ordered a taco/fajita, the meat was dry, but I ate it anyway.

After returning to the apartment, I placed some items on ebay, and decided it was craft time. I soon became aggravated, and decided to call it quits with a particular felt animal, and decided to work on my dress for my classy birthday instead. I had a couple of pitfalls, but finally finished and it looks good. I'm definitely happy with the finished product. Let's hope that the boyfriend is as well :D

All the while, I've been watching episodes of The X-Files from Season 5. I'm about to go do dishes and cook for Chris. All in all, its been a pretty boring day.

Thank you Chris, for reminding me to update :D

See you guys tomorrow!

Today was a good day, for the most part. I'm overhauling my etsy. I made a new banner, and hope to get some new things for the shop. I spent some time with a friend, and we went to Goodwill and I found some amazing vintage Avon perfumes that hadn't even been opened! And they were still in the ORIGINAL packaging. Talk about beautiful designs... Then I played fashionista for my friend who needed the help... haha

Salsita's for dinner, which is what I had yesterday for dinner, and for lunch! It's an addiction. Oh, also, I totally got hit on last night. It was super sweet because the very attractive guy wrote his number on a Salsita's card and waited outside until we left to try to give it to me. But I had to break his heart and tell him that I was already taken... haha

Day 2- Success :)

30 day challenge

I'm a bad blogger. Really, I have the time, I just never put in the effort. So, I've decided to try a 30 day challenge, and we will see if I can stick with it.

Day 1: Write some basic things about yourself

Well... I'm 5'4'', I have blue eyes, and brown hair naturally, but I dye it so often that you will rarely see it brown. I'm 24, and will be 25 next Monday. I'm overweight, but probably the first thing anyone notices about me are my bewbs. It's pretty much a running joke with anyone I meet that I have the biggest boobs ever, and it can get pretty funny.
I love animals. Like seriously, I love animals so much that I would probably be a crazy animal lady if I didn't have a boyfriend who held my reaching/grabbing arms, and squeeing body away from baby animals. I've pretty much had every kind of animal there was to have. I haven't written on here in a really long time, and last time I did, I had a cat, Lily, and guinea pig, Gizmo. Lily and Chris didn't get along, so I gave her back to her original owners who moved back into the country. Gizmo mysteriously died one night. It was all of a sudden, and very tragic. Soon, Chris and I will get a dog. We decided together that our next animal should be a dog, and we really want a pug.... But we have to wait until we move to Austin.
Oh, did I mention we are moving to Austin? We really wanted to move sometime this Summer, but now it looks like it will probably be the winter, or maybe even next year before we get to. Why? Because Beaumont(even though the nightlife is growing) has nothing to offer that Austin doesn't... and Austin has three times as much as Beaumont.
I have one tattoo, on my lower back (think tramp stamp, but not trashy) of a heart. Soon, hopefully before May, I will be getting another tattoo. I have a lot of ideas, and hopefully one will work out.
I work in retail, and if you do, you understand why I don't want to talk about it. For a hot three months or so, I worked at a portrait studio as a photographer, and was instructed to basically cheat people out of money. They also taught us to wheel and deal like a used car salesman, and mistreated employees, so I quit. I bought a professional camera (Nikon D40), and like to think of myself as an pre-amateur photographer. Everyone and their mother's tries to be a photographer, and the most experience I have had is "modelling" for my friend who is an actual schooled(with a degree) photographer, and taking pictures of children at the portrait studio. So far, I have had some fake photo shoots with friends, practiced Senior portraits with my brother's fiance, and candids with my niece.
I make felt animals, paint miniatures, and try to be engaged with whatever my boyfriend finds interesting. In general I'm a nerd, but cuter. I'm one of the biggest fans of Harry Potter that you can imagine. My favorite characters are Hermione Granger and Severus Snape. I recently read the Song of Fire and Ice series and pretty much flipped my lid. They are easily second to my Harry Potter love, but nothing even comes close to those two. I like super cute/weird stuff. I'm like two or three classes away from being fluent in Spanish. I collect really weird things (bottlecaps, corks, tiny animals, owls, penguins, etc).
And that's just a tiny bit about me... lol I could go on for hours (but I'm not so vain to think that you would want to know all about me... haha), and I'm starving, so I'm probably going to go eat some chips and salsa (one of my favorite meals!).
If I don't post, bug me. Make me post. Give me something to post for.

Tomorrow I will be here with 10 dislikes and likes.
