Delayed like a plane at LAX

Oh my oh my!! How the time has just flown right by me.. And maybe a little procrastination to toss into that as well.. hahahaha!! School has started again for me, and when I made my resolution, maybe I should've been more aware of how this would take away from my attempts at all my "new" things.. But I have not given up! No sir!! Delayed is a better word that I've chosen to use, because I'm still getting to where I need to be, just running a little behind. I think I'm going to start carrying around a journal (notepad) with me just to keep up with all the things that run through my mind.. And on top of that, I'm going to have to make a mini-night schedule where I work in the blog writing. I'm trying! I'm trying! hahahahaa!!

OK, so here we go:
I haven't lived with a male occupant/roommate/live-in-boyfriend, in quite some time now.. And I've got to say, Sometimes there are just things that women aren't taught to handle.. Not saying that they couldn't learn, but ladies, you know what I'm talking about, Sometimes, it's just easier to have a man to the "Mans Work".. Most times, I can do simple repairs, put things together, know how to find the stud in the wall versus just the dry wall when hanging pictures, etc.. etc.. I've even got a tool box that my dad put together for me so I can further my capabilities of repairs. So when we were faced with having to put curtain rods up, I thought to myself, `No Problem!' Oh man, this was a lesson to be learned for me, along with being one of my "new" things that I've learned. Ladies and Gentleman, I learned how to use a hand-drill on my own.. hahahahahahaa!! Now, I know that seems simple, and maybe most people have learned to use one long ago, but I have not. I've definitely WATCHED my dad and other males in my life, use one plenty of times! So we were able to get Kelly's dad to drop his drill off, and I would do the rest.. First of all, he said that we would need drill bits of our own because he was basically going to give us the drill but he wanted his bits.. So I waited 2 weeks to get them from Home Depot (1st attempt-Kelly was given the wrong ones) just to find out that the things I was looking for, was already with the drill.. I just didn't know what they looked like, so I figured they must not have been correct.. hahahahahahaaa!!! I was feeling like an idiot already.. Then one Saturday morning I decided that I was going to do it!! Damn it, I was going to put up these 5 curtain rods once and for all! I had my measuring tape, pencil, leveler, screw drivers, and drill.. I was ready to go..
And then I realized, I didn't know how to put the thingy in the thingy.. hahahahahaa! I sent my dad a shameful picture :



And basically had to learn over the phone how to even use the damn thing! Soon enough though, I was on my way to hanging up curtain rods for the first time. I've got to hand it to the men out there, while it seems easy enough, and for the most part it was, it still was very very time consuming and my hands started cramping!!! Holding up a drill above your head and balancing on a chair is not an easy task! But after everything I got them all up, and even made some mistakes ( Thank Goodness for Spackle), but I think it came out pretty good for a first timer







Here's one of my mistakes hahahahhaaa! and if you look closely, you'll see I made the same mistake about 3 times..:





Along with other things I hung that day, everything needed wall anchors, so that was another new thing I learned how to do. I just have to say that those anchors are a pain to get into walls!:







And lastly, I still have to hang this huge, iron mirror that is heavier than shit! So its still patiently waiting for me on the ground




I've also definitely tried some new restaurants, one of them being with Tommy, in which that was a great place! It was called LaLa's in LA, and Joe's crab shack.. I even let them put a bib on me (new!) and I kept it on for about 5 minutes until I got claustrophobic, and had to rip it off my neck.. hahahaha!!
Oh!Oh! and I also did my homework for once, on time, and way way before it was due.. Sad but true, that is a first for me as well..

I thought I'd post pictures of places that Kelly and I are looking at to go vacationing.. Fiji is going to cost about $1700 just for one plane ticket! So Fiji is out. But we were looking at another website (timeshare) on St. Martin, and noticed that people were posting how they enjoyed watching the planes...... I got curious, and looked up these pictures.. These were also the deciding factors of us NOT going to this time share:





Seriously, what the hell!!?? hahahahahahaaa!!!
Til next time
