About Me

My photo
Texas, United States
I'm 22 years young. I have a boyfriend; his name is Kevin Mears. We've been together for five years, and counting. I have two best friends; their names are Cassie and Courtney. I work at Teach Mart in Keller. I'm going to North Central Texas College, and I want to transfer to UNT afterwards. I'm a complete nerd, and I love Harry Potter and the Twilight series. I own every book by Meg Cabot; she's my inspiration, and my hero. I want to be an author when I "grow up."

This Week is AMAZING

No really. Are you ready for this? So Cassie spent the night on Friday. I had gone to Hobby Lobby earlier that day to buy two black t-shirts and some very vibrant colored paint for, are you ready for this nerdiness, MEG CABOT T-SHIRTS!!!!!!!!!! Cassie and I stayed up until 2:30 Saturday morning watching What Women Want (a classic sleepover movie) and painting our shirts. Then we had to wake up at 7:30 on Saturday so that we could go with her mom to Barnes and Noble in Southlake to get our MEG CABOT WRISTBANDS!

Funny Story? Nobody really cared about the wristbands except for us. No really... we got there as soon as the doors opened, went to the front desk and asked the lady behind the counter about the wristbands. She didn't act like we were completely mental, so we knew we were in the right spot. She had to call around to see where they were, but found out they were being handed out at the customer-service desk. So we walked over there and lo and behold, we were the only two dorks that cared. The guy didn't even ask to see our printed-out receipts, proving that we had bought Abandon. We got purple wristbands, which means we're the first (and only) two people in Texas who want to see Meg Cabot.


But we'll be meeting her in STYLE:





Aren't they COOL??? Mine's on the left, Cassie's is on the right. And on the back they say our names and then names of Meg's books!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED.


And we might get more than two seconds to see her because, um, we'll be the only two people there.


Anyway, I'm also SO EXCITED about Thursday. It's mine and Kevin's FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. We don't get to see each other on Thursday, though, because he has work in the morning, and I have work at night. We've been trying to plan a few things but they fell through. He wanted to go to a Ranger's game (which I hope we get to go to this Summer!) so instead, I'm taking him out (Well technically he's driving and I'm telling him where to go ... but whatever) to a SECRET place that I won't post here until after Sunday (when we're celebrating our anniversary). I can't wait to see the look on his face- I hope he loves it as much as I think he will.


I can't believe it. FIVE YEARS. Wow.


We went to his grandma's for Easter on Sunday and I swear that we would've won the "cutest couple" award... at least, that's what everyone kept saying, that we were "soooo cute together!"


So I have work at 3:00, and even though that's three hours away, it takes me FOREVER to get ready.

Meg Cabot is amazing :)

AND IS COMING TO TEXAS!!!!!
No really. Do you know how excited I am??
It's a dream come true.
And I mean, I know there will be a thousand people there, at Barnes and Noble in Southlake (not to mention half of those will be screaming 12-year-old girls) (That will be pushed out of the way by Cassie and me) (because you know ... we're so big and strong), and all it will be is "Hi Meg! I LOVE YOU, will you sign my book? Kthnx, bye!" but STILL.


Doesn't she look like she would be everybody's best friend?
Not stuck up and "I am better than everyone because I'm the best writer in the world and I have a bazillion books published"?
(No seriously. She is. The best, I mean.)
And that's why I can't wait to meet her!
I want my picture with her.
I want an autographed book.
I want some actual tips from her on writing- not what she has on her website for everyone to read. But the real juicy stuff that nobody else knows.
I want her to know that, um, I LOVE HER... I mean, that she's my idol.

So, Cassie and I are trying to find Meg Cabot t-shirts online, but can only find the cafepress unecessarily high priced t-shirts that have two words on them, like, "Princess Mia!" or whatever. I actually want this on a t-shirt:




But I can't find one at all...
Maybe I can make my own?
Mmm, I don't care. I'm just SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never Thought I Could Love This Much

So ... funny thing. Basically the last time I wrote, Kevin and I were about to celebrate our ... three year anniversary. Is that right? I believe so. ANYWAY, we're about to celebrate our (are you ready?) FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! FIVE YEARS. No way!

But we'll get back to that later.
How was my weekend? Well, I'm glad you asked!

I just spent the ENTIRE weekend with Kevin. ENTIRE. WEEKEND. He came over Friday around 6:00 (and thanks to Sheldon Cooper, we now have a word to describe this time of day- the "preevening") and we ate supper, then stayed up until 12:30 watching movies! I went to bed and he kept watching television in the living room. The next morning I woke him up at around 11:00 and we ate breakfast together. We basically just lounged around all day and watched movies- He watched Glee with me! That was amazing! Then we stayed up until 1:00 this morning, watching Glee and other movies. This morning I woke him up at 10:30 and I don't think he got off the couch until noon... and then he left around 2:00?
So, I had a fantastic weekend, thanks!

So, back to the anniversary? Okay. We couldn't think of anything to do, and I REALLY wanted the two of us to sit down and really think of what we wanted to do for our day. Because it should be our decision- not his and not mine alone. But he came up with this fabulous idea (that he got from his co-worker's shirt) that since, hey, we both love baseball, and I keep talking about wanting to go see the Rangers, that it would be a GREAT IDEA to go see a Ranger's Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. I'm just a teensy bit excited.

But, pictures are PROMISED. And I'm not sure which day exactly that we're going.
Updates. For sure.

And now I'm sleepy :)
