Life Lesson #3

This one is a little gross, but oh so true.

Whenever you are doing something important or simply cannot get to a restroom, you will inevitably have to go.

This happens to me ALL THE TIME. Like, one day, I miraculously on time for class when I had to use the restroom and was late! Or if I have just started doing something important, BAM gotta go use the restroom. Its really annoying. I wonder if I am the only person with this problem? If it happens to you too, let me know!

Pet Peeves & Baby Names

Lately I have been into making lists. Here are two for ya!

List #1!
Pet Peeves: (These are in no particular order!)

1. Toothpaste in the sink. Gross!
2. When the toilet paper is done and someone grabs an extra roll but doesn't actually put it on the little rolly thing. I mean really? Its not that hard, heck, you can even do it while you are sitting on the toilet.
3. Dirty washcloths on the bathroom floor. I don't want to touch what you washed your behind with thanks.
4. People who pick their nose while driving. Just because you are in a car doesn't mean you're invisible!!
5. Drinking straight out of a shared carton. Um... hello germs.
6. People who always ask to eat your food when you are super hungry. Heck no! Its mine!
7. People who refuse to use their blinkers. OMG. Makes me so mad. They're on your car for a reason!!
8. Speaking of driving, people who drive like 60 in the left-hand lane on the expressway. MOVE.
9. Birds chirping. Drives me freaking nuts.
10. When I'm watching TV or a movie and people keep trying to have a conversation with me. Excuse me, but I am BUSY.
11. When stupid people ask stupid questions in class.
12. When people whine but don't acknowledge that they're being whiny. I always know when I'm being whiny. I whine and then I apologize.
13. People who make excessive short jokes. I've been the same height since I was 12. I get it. Trust me.
14. People who tell me their life story on the phone at work. I don't know you and I don't really care.

List #2! Baby names! I have started a master list of names I like for every letter, boy and girl. These are my top 5!

Boys:
#1. Micah
#2. Luca
#3. Julian
#4. Teague
#5. Joel / Paxton

Girls:
#1. Jude
#2. Marcail
#3. Isabella
#4. Analisse
#5. Lorelei / Piper

Once I finish my ABC list I'll post it!

PS - I have no intentions of having a baby anytime soon. I decided to make this list so I can help myself when naming characters in my stories for class! :) But its fun to think about what I could/would name a potential baby.

Let me know what your pet peeves and fave baby names are! (Yeah... to all three of my followers. Lol.)

Life Lessons from Rebecca #2

So after yesterday's semi-depressing life lesson:

When you feel like crap, dressing in a cute outfit, doing your hair and makeup automatically makes you feel better.

Today I was irritated. Yes, it was a beautiful sunshine-filled day, but I am under a lot of stress right now because of school, I haven't slept in a while, and I have been feeling nauseous for a few days. But this morning I took extra time to wear my favorite jeans, a cute top and do my makeup extra special. To make me feel even MORE fabulous I put on my sparkly zebra shoes and I was ready for my day. So yeah, I felt like poo, but I looked fabulous doing so! I even winked at the cute CVS pharmacy tech. So yeah, you may have a crap day, but at least you'll look hot while doing it. :)

PS - I did have a good thing happen today -- not to mention that I am SUPER thankful for my friends and their kind words. Nothing quite like waking up to a text message that tells me I am loved! :)

Life Lessons from Rebecca #1

Okay, since keeping up with a blog is not something I am very good at, I have decided to begin again, this time doing something a bit simpler so that I can perhaps post something daily-ish. (I add the "ish" so I can feel better if I don't post something.) So I unveil for you, Rebecca's Life Lessons. Kicking off at #1:

If he is so cute that you aren't sure why he is single, chances are he has a girlfriend.

Story. Of. My. Life. Yeah, he is adorable, funny and seems really awesome all around. Keep looking because he probably has a girlfriend. This has been my experience 99.9% of the time, although I am not particularly remembering the .1%. And for some reason, I find out about the girlfriend AFTER I have already shamelessly (and embarrassingly) flirted with him. Le sigh. So, here's to every time you have totally had a crush only to find out some other chick beat you there first.
