Hola everyone!

I know it's been forever but I just thought i'd let you know i'm moving!  Blogs and cities actually.  Please come on over to 

http://www.butwheredoiparkmycar.blogspot.com/

and follow my little experiment for the last year of my twenties.

Hope to see you all there it's been so long and I've missed all of you!

Guess Who's Back...

Ohh my goodness it's been way too long! I know you may have thought that I fell off the face of the Earth but the truth is that my darling little pink laptop caught a horrible virus and just stopped turning on one day *gasp*. I couldn't believe it myself so I tucked my tail between my legs and brought it to my ex. Ugh it was hard but since he does computer IT for the government I figured i'd have a hard time finding someone who could:

A) Fix it for free

B) Give me a spam and virus blocker so strong that this doesn't happen again

Luckily all my pictures were saved and I didn't have a Carrie Bradshaw moment where everything I loved in my computer was just gone. I must encourage all of you to run not walk to your nearest store and pick up an external harddrive and back your stuff up!

So how has everyone been? My holidays were fabulous and a lot of things have been going on. I received a Flip camera for Christmas and will soon be making some Vlogs for your enjoyment/misery.

Missed you all! Can't wait to head on over to your blogs and see what you have been up to!

Do You Like Food Cause I Like Food...

Hola everyone! I'm feeling pretty excited cause in about 2 1/2 hours I will settling down to watch the Phillies smash LA! Sorry Dodgers fans but you guys are going down! It's gonna be a crazy night in the city so I think i'm taking the chill route and bellying up to a local bar near my apartment to watch it all.

So guess what? Friday night boy cancelled on me? He said that had plans to meet up with his Mom and it wasn't definite but she called to say she couldn't anytime over the weekend... WTF? Seems kinda weird to me and I can't really tell if that was the truth or not but to keep it all the way funky I was sorta relieved... I know I should just get the 1st date over with but they always bug me and make me so nervous. We'll see if we end up actually having a date after this. So my search for a cute/nice/honest boy continues. I opened my POF account a little bit ago and found this precious gem just waiting for a response...

"Hey the subject is the head of the question. How do you feel about food? Do you like food cause i like food. We can share or i can buy you your own. We can talk about anything from what we learn today or what we dislike about the human race. If your into a guy who wants to make you laugh or cry msg me back."

Well at least he offered to buy me dinner right? Why am I looking for a guy who makes me cry?? That's the reason i'm on here because every guy makes me cry! Haha I do like talking about what I dislike in the human race though. Hmmppff I know it's sin to make fun of someone who is just searching for love but what on earth???

I'm Nervous...

So I have a date on Friday... I don't know about you guys but I hate first dates. I am naturally a shy person when I don't know someone so it really is torture for me to sit through a dinner and have the awkward banter.

Where did you grow up?

Where do you work?

How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Are you a complete creepshow who wants to stuff me in the trunk of your car?

Sorry about that last one i'm naturally suspicious! How do you guys prepare for 1st dates? I am going through every outfit in my head right now and someone can not think of a single thing to wear? He seems like a really nice guy but how can you really tell from texting and email?

It's Getting Very Halloweeny...

Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

Ohhh it's my favorite time of year! I know a lot of people talk about how much they love fall but I really really really love it! Halloween has to be my favorite holiday because I love the decorations, the costumes, the weather, the fashion! In honor of the time of year I decided to share with a new jibjab card I made. It features myself and some of my friends and I watch it daily because it's hysterical. Feel free to make one for yourself and send me the link cause I love them!

Plenty of Fishies...

Well hello lovelies! It's good to be back whoosh it's been a crazy couple of weeks! I am super excited it's fall and almost Halloween!! I just ordered my costume yesterday and can't wait for it to come in! I even planted my own pumpkin seeds this year and it's actually growing which if you knew me then you would know that anything that comes into my apartment green immediately turns brown and dies.

So a lot has been happening lately but definitely the most entertaining thing is the fact that I have joined plentyoffish.com. In case you couldn't tell already from the name it is *gasp* a dating site. One of my friends who hates cheesy stuff as much as I do joined and she said she actually met a few cute/nice/non-serial killer type guys so I figured i'd give it a try. I have had a bunch of lame experiences with guys this past couple of months and rather than give up and adopt a bunch of stray cats I decided to change up some dating habits. Well it's been 3 days and boy oh boy have I met some guys. I thought i'd share one of my favorite messages with you right now:

HELLO ANGEL GIRL CAN I TELL U ABOUT ME IM SINGLE GUY SEEKING NICE FEMALE I WORK 2 JOBS NO KIDS HERE IM 30 NEVER BI-GAY TRANSSEXUALS F2M-M2F BOTH WRITE ME I HAVE 20 MESSAGES FROM TS WRITING ME I NEVER ANSWER BACK IM GOOD GUY 4 U HONEY IVE DATED BLONDE DANCER GIRL 12 YEARS SHE MOVED FL HONEY IM NICE GUY FUNNY GUY 4 U IM SEEKING NOW NICE FEMALE I CAN TALK TO HER IM GOOOOD GIRL I PLEASE GREAT WHEN THE TIME COMES CAN WE BOTH SEE WHATS UP I LIVE WHT AREA 908-XXX-XXXX TYSON THANK U HONEY

Umm what the hell was he talking about with the never bi-gay transsexuals?? Was he telling me that he's never been with one or that he isn't one? Why would I think he was one? Why did he call me honey so many times maybe he just really misses blonde dancer girl?

So yeah there are definitely a lot of messages that leave me creeped out but I have actually found maybe 1 or 2 guys that I have messaged back. I will keep you posted on more craziness and hope to post one every day from now on... get ready!

How Could Anyone Not Be A Dog Person...

Watch CBS News Videos Online

I know I have been completely MIA lately but I have been super busy trying to get my fall collection of jewerly together for The Witches Ball next week. I just saw this video online and it made tear up so I thought I would share it with you all.

Eat, Drink & Be Scary...

Is anyone else excited that it's fall and Halloween is coming???

Yay You Can Have A Maizey Too...

Ughh isn't the first day back after a super fun long weekend the worst?? Since I didn't actually take any vacations this summer (except for a day here and there) I decided that I would extend my Labor Day weekend and take off yesterday. Didn't really do much except hang out with my friends, bbq, cocktail and laugh which is 4 of my favorite things in the world anyways. It was heavenly to not have a damn thing to do all weekend long.

Now for something new and adorable! Awhile back I won an awesome giveaway to get a custom made blog button from Redbud Designs. I had always seen other buttons on all of your blogs and was super jealous for one of my own. After much emailing back and forth with the extremely patient and talented Sharon. She made me this...

<a href="YOUR" target="_blank"><img alt="Rachel's Pink Thoughts" src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l148/kha02a/rachbuttonpink2.jpg" /></a></ textarea></form> </div></div>

Doesn't Maizey look fabulous?! That picture is from the day I got her, I drove all the way from New Jersey to Michigan and she was just a 1.5lb ball of fluff. The button is perfect it incorporates all things that I adore Maizey, leopard print and PINK! So I think that it would look fantastic on your blogs so feel free to take it today! I have a strange feeling that my new fall giveaway coming up will have something to do with all my blogland lovelies and my new button hmm...

In Dog Fashion Either You're In, Or You Have To Go Out...

Ha this video is hysterical and features two of my favorite fashion people Isaac Mizrahi and the amazing and awe-inspiring Patricia Fields. I will show this to Maizey later on while she is wearing her recently acquired tutu!

Team Jacob for today...

Now remember... he's only 17... he's only 17... he's only 17.

Is Anyone Else Excited...

Ever since I saw my first episode of Jackass I have loved me a skater boy (cue annoying Avril Lavigne song). Something about Bam Margera and the way he's all bruised and banged up and he looks like he smells but he probably smells fabulous something like sweat, dirt and axe body spray. I know how crazy I sound but give me a boy who can skate and make me laugh simultaneously and it's like Christmas morning! My friend Amanda and I were talking about ugly-hot guys last night you know someone who isn't neccessarily the hottest guy but because he either has some swagger, humor or a sexy accent (if he has all three then ohh what a trifecta) then he is immediately attractive. This brings me to Mr. Rob Dyrdek while he is adorable in his own right because he has the swagger and the humor it pushes him over the edge for me. Enjoy the Season 2 trailer for his show on MTV Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory. It's really hysterical and makes me want a bulldog real bad!

Ouch...

Have I ever mentioned that I kinda hate working out?? I don't mind the treadmill so much or even the eliptical but the thought alone of lunges and the pushups makes me so sleepy. I have heard a lot of good things about the 30 Day Shred so I thought I would give it a try. If you have Comcast then you can go OnDemand and find the first 2 workouts for free in the fitness section. So it's 30 minutes of circuit training (2 minutes cardio then 1 to 2 minutes abs or arms) it seemed simple enough but after the first 10 minutes I was sweating it up. It definitely kicks your butt and I didn't even have hand weights to increase it.

OUCH! Can I tell you that I did the workouts on Friday and Saturday and was not able to walk normally til this morning. I was literally on a hunt for Jillian Michael's head on a platter!! Apparently I do not even have any muscles in my legs so I was starting from scratch in the fitness area. My calves were painfully on fire and I had to stand for 3 hours at the Jason Mraz concert on Sunday. Ugh even though the concert was amazing it was really hard to get through standing up. I'm nervous to workout with it again tonight but like Jillian says,

"You don't get an amazing body without sacrifice and hard work!"

Hmm is something missing...

Hola lovelies! Happy Friday!! I just saw this picture from Glamour magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see something Twilight-related without that grumpleton Kristen Stewart to ruin it. The fourth chica is Noot Seear who will be playing Heidi from the Volturi clan. Just nice to see everyone smiling and looking pretty with clean hair. Also I wanted to show you this awesome necklace from Jules Smith called Edward's Smile. Now I know he doesn't actually have fangs but with my new found love of all things vampire I think I have to make this necklace mine. It also comes in gunmetal and silver so go on over and take a peek if you get a chance.

I hope you all have a fabulous sunny weekend. I am going to see Jason Mraz and G. Love on Sunday at Festival Pier in Philly so I am super excited. I have seen G. Love about a million times in concert because my best friend is obsessed and insists on seeing him everytime he comes around. I think it's for the off chance he will lock eyes with her from the stage and fall madly in love. Hasn't happen yet but we'll keep our fingers crossed for Sunday. I've never seen Jason Mraz live but I always listen to his Pandora station and I love his live songs on there so much he is really amazing. Also want to try and see Paper Heart and 500 Days of Summer too so we'll how it all fits in.... ugh why can't the weekend be longer? I think i'll need to take a mental health day on Monday.

Dream A Little Dream...

*Update* The Lord Voldemort i'm referring to in the dream is actually my ex (a nickname my loving girlfriends gave him). I didn't actually have a dream that I called Harry Potter's nemesis to come be with me at the end of the world:0)

I have been having a hectic week in the dream department. They aren't all really nightmares so much as I think my brain trying to tell me something? I am a pisces through and through because I am a super dreamy person, I mean i'll probably stop 2 or 3 times while writing this post just to daydream about something totally unrelated. I really do believe that dreams can be a way for your subconscious to work stuff out and tell you things you wouldn't realize while you are awake (or maybe not want to realize).

I just thought i'd share one with you and see what you think...

I'm at my Mom's house and we see on tv that a huge snow storm is coming and the world is ending... creepy right? I look at my Mom and she is all serious that she believes it so we all start getting upset. I am calling everyone I love so we can all be together for the end because that's what anyone would want right? Well I call Lord Voldemort and all he can say is "Oh bye" and we hang up. It starts to snow really hard and that my dream ends with me just being really upset because he couldn't be bothered to get off his ass and spend the end of the world with me?!

I don't think I need to pull out a Ouija board and contact Freud to figure out what that one means! Yikes that dream stuck with me all week. Any thoughts?

*Little side note* I have been trying to find a place to get pretty pics for my posts because I do hate to do a random google search and not give credit where credit is due. So I was on one my favorite blogs today Miss Elizabeth Marie's It's Unbeweavable and she always has really pretty and lovely pics. I noticed that she had Vi.sualize.us underneath them and I checked it out and i'm in love! Go check out her blog and that site if you have a minute you'll love it too.
