I Heart Sweat

September 21, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

It’s been so busy … school school school. Blah blah blah.

I took my test yesterday so I’m a little more free again.

So free, that last night I went to watch FSA’s football and soccer games and even got PHO with the friends.

I went home and got my mail!

Uhh … JackRabbit?! That only means one thing.

Thanks Ali from Ali on the Run!

For years, I’ve been saying I love the smell of sweat. Which is kind of the same thing as I love sweat, right? So perfect.

The material is so nice. And so is her handwriting. I wished I got a bigger size though cuz my boobs are kind of tight. But it still fits and it’s comfortable. That’s all that matters.

It’s another lazy Wednesday. I am tired and just want to do nothing for the rest of my life. Is that bad?

Unexpected Fun

September 18, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

Jenny and I rarely get the chance to hang out. Yeah we do study together and maybe watch the occasional One Tree Hill episodes together. But going out and doing dinner and just straight chilling? Rarely.

So to my surprise, Jenny was craving steak and wanted to go out for it. Therefore we decided on Logan’s Steakhouse then drinks afterward at Flying Saucer.

But since we realized it was Happy Hour at Logan’s we each got a beer. I got BudLight and she got MillerLight (I think). Double fisting both our beers for pictures.

Can I just finally say, I think I’m warming up to my red streak. It really shows up on pictures and in a way makes me feel pretty? Is that weird?

IMG_5381

Our table of yumminess. Jenny and I somehow ordered the exact same thing without knowing.

Our free bread. A mug of beer for each of us. And a plate of rib-eye, sautéed mushrooms, and a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. I could have done without the butter.

I finished everything but my steak. Jenny finished her steak and beer only. That’s how great this meal is.

IMG_5384

I ordered these little shot-like desserts to share with Jenny. Brownie with ice cream, some kind of Nutter-Butter dessert, and Strawberry Cheesecake.

It was 3 for $5 so we decided to try them all. Oh did I mention you get to keep the buckets? Sahweet!

Jenny and I’s favorite? The Nutter-Butter! Definitely ordering ONLY that flavor next time.

We weren’t ready to go home yet so we decided to go to the Dollar Theater. Sadly, they weren’t selling anymore tickets since it was already 11pm and were already on their last showings.

Which resulted in Jenny texting her friend and asking her if she was still going out drinking.

Jenny and I met her friend at Sparky’s Pub. It’s a gay bar so Jenny and I were out of place and felt out of place. Her friend as well. She was there for her friend’s birthday who is a lesbian.

We didn’t know what to do so we took pictures.

IMG_5387

Just fyi, that’s Jenny’s beer.

Afterward, I texted my friend to see what he was up to. We headed over to where he was. A place called Rush. It used to be called Posh but they fixed it up and changed its name. It’s the first time I’ve been there since they changed and I must say, it’s for the better.

I got to see people I rarely see and it just felt like everything was right in the world.

I would put up pictures of my friends other than Jenny but I don’t know how they’ll feel about it. Especially because they don’t know about this blog.

We got home around 3am and watched an episode of One Tree Hill. I woke up at 9am and fell back asleep. By the time I woke up again, I realized I was 10 minutes late for football practice with FSA. Whoops. So I hauled ass and had a great 2ish hours of practice.

It was a great night that I had. It was great to just go out and put off studying. Which was a bad idea seeing how I have a test on Tuesday. Eeep!

Wish me luck as I study my ass off!

Playing Hooky

September 14, 2011 by Mellie Dee 5 Comments

Mmm … OOIAJ is seriously back in my life.

Picture0279

See what’s behind me? Blankets and pillows. All Jenny’s. She’s still sleeping in the living room. I would too but for some reason, my bed keeps calling my name.Embarrassed smile

I have decided to not go to class today. That’s the reason for the glasses and gross hair. It’s just one class so … it shouldn’t matter, right?

I have decided it’ll be my catch up day. Read my chapters because there is just so much!

But right now, I’m watching 40 Most Shocking Breakups on VH1 and catching up on my Google Reader. I didn’t even know half of these people aren’t together anymore. Ridiculous.

I wish there were no divorces, like how it was back in the days. You are set with that person … forever. That’s probably the reason I’m afraid of commitment.

Whoops. Did I just say that to the world?

Chivalry Is Not Dead

September 13, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Do you hear that? It’s me crying.

This morning I checked Living Social as I do everyday (along with Groupon) and saw the deal for Whole Foods.

whole

I went to pull out my wallet but realized I forgot it back home! So I was like, you know, I can get this later.

Well I was wrong as wrong as can be. When I got home. This stared back at me.

image

I have lost my chance so now I am crying like a baby. Someone share with me?

********************************************

Last night before bed, I made me and Jenny OOIAJ. Well hers was more along the lines of OOIAC since she didn’t have a jar.

She’s never had it before so hopefully she liked what I made her. I would ask her but right now she’s sprawled on the couch taking a nap. If she doesn’t like it, at least I tried, eh?

For some reason, our apartment has been hot so we slept in the living room. Her on the couch and me on the floor. It’s kind of scary when you’re watching Ghost Whisperer. It’s super dark and you see shadows EVERYWHERE!

Sadly, when I did go to sleep on the floor, the carpet itched me terribly so I slept in my room, on my bed instead. I rather sweat then itch all over.

********************************************

Today the shuttles were crowded. So crowded that the bus driver couldn’t stop by the other two stops to pick people up.

There was this guy that was already sitting in his seat, looked up at me and said,

Do you want my seat?

I politely declined. And he made sure I was for sure okay with it.

Who does that nowadays?

No one really. It’s pretty much me, me, me. I want this and I want that.

So he made me see that not everyone are jerks. That there are some nice people around.

That chivalry is not dead.

I’m not saying that if you don’t give up your seat, you’re a jerk. But that there are people out there still that are gentlemen.

I’m old fashion. I like when a guy holds a door for me or say please and thank you. It’s polite. It’s what I learned growing up. But it seems to me, it’s dying.

Don’t worry men. I’m not only saying negatives about your race. It’s the same for women too.

I just wish the world was a better place. That people are polite.

I would love a knight in shining armor, please!

********************************************

Someone made me cry today. Like really cry. Not the kind of crying I did for Whole Foods. She was being rude to me always and I couldn’t take it anymore.

But I got free Pappasito’s from the CPE so I feel better now.

Time to study. I am so behind!

Strut Your Stuff Girlfriend!

September 11, 2011 by Mellie Dee 6 Comments

Today was the day of the show! Ahhhh!

We woke up really tired.

But we didn’t have to really get ready so we went out the door in a jiffy pop!

People were everywhere and everything was just crazy.

We walked straight to the back to the De Lorenzo station.

Tammy started on her make up. She was the lucky one. Jenny and I never got our make up done professionally … so now I can’t cross that off my bucket list. Sad? Yes. Very much so.

IMG_5281

We had more work done on our hair. Mine more than the others.

IMG_5272

Make up free, baby, all day erryday!

They did some highlights? Lowlights? on one side. Having foil in your hair is kind of annoying but so exciting since it was my first time.

IMG_5292

They washed it out, and this is the color that came out.

Luckily they didn’t leave it that way.

IMG_5293

I went through another process of that until they got the desired color and these were the colors. They look dark but the result is very bright.

IMG_5294

They fed us again too!! I picked a Turkey sandwich and added lettuce in it with regular chips and Sierra Mist. I drank a little less than half of that soda. Bubbly really does hurt my throat.

IMG_5310IMG_5335IMG_5339

This is our after picture. With it dyed and cut after being on stage.

Can you see Tammy’s make up? Her hair got lightened and put in some dark blonde highlights.

I got my hair lightened (my hair is very very dark) and they put in fire red and copper red on one side underneath my hair.

We weren’t sure what happened with Jenny’s but she got some chocolate highlights put in and we think they darkened her hair underneath.

Marvin layered all of our hair the way it would work with our hair and our face. He is amazing. Our hair feels so light now. And he kept our length. This man is a genius!

IMG_5340

Us three with our new hair.

You like?

On the left is me and Molly. The one who recruited us and helped dye our hair and style!

On the right is Matt and I. He helps them out and he brought us our lunch too. And he never got it wrong!

DSCN1107

Oh the outfit I wore were jeans and boots with a “I Red heart De Lorenzo“ t-shirt and a “I Red heart De Lorenzo” sash. Uhh .. yeah I lost an arm. But FUN STUFF!

IMG_5324IMG_5342

On the left is me and Doug. He helped dye and style our hair.

On the right is Tammy, Jenny, Marvin, and me. He was the one who put layers into our hair. He was also the star of the show. He talked on stage and performed his magical-ness of cutting hair in 7 minutes type thing.

DSCN1142DSCN1143DSCN1144

Afterward, we went home and took better close up pictures of our hair. You can see more of the redness of my hair in each picture. But if I show you the bottom bottom … it’s fire red! Eek.

Jenny and I wanted to get feathers in our hair since Friday and since we obviously couldn’t do it Saturday and this morning, we were in the mood to now.

We called the lady and she hooked us up.

DSCN1149IMG_5367

On the left is Jenny. She got an orangey black one on top right and a black and white one on the bottom left.

On the right is me. I got an orangey black one on top and a black and white one on the bottom. I got it all on the same side since they put red on only one side. It would look weird if they were on the opposite.

My hair is burned out! But it was fun. I sent pictures to my brother and sister. I wonder what they’re going to say. Eeek. Scared!

I wonder what my parents will say!

I wonder what people in school will say.

I guess we shall see!

Time to relax.

I hope your weekend was just as eventful!
