Current Obsession June

This month...

TV Show: 

The Big Bang Theory

Via google

Going to the Farmers market

Random trend:

One nail painted. I don't know why but I like it. If you look closely
it's in all of my photos up till now. What do you think, cool or lame?

Food:

Italian...What can I say it's my people, haha


Only in LA moment:

Dog wearing sunglasses

Chinese Grauman Theater

Some pictures from the theater.

The first person I put my feet in their shoes 

The first person I put my hands on their prints. It's harder to 

get a picture than it looks.The left is a success-the right a fail. 

And the person is Frank Sinatra in case you can't tell.

People looked at me weird for putting my camera up to the binocular 

things you put a quarter in, but I got the picture!

June 10 in 30 mid-month update

I'm in LA!! I can't believe it. I've been so looking forward to this trip and it's finally here! 

1.First and Formost- Safety for the trip! The farthest west I've been is Ohio, and that's definitely the eastern part of the United States, haha. So far so good

2. Buy a camera!! It would be very beneficial if I could get one this week so I could figure out how to use it before I leave. I have my new camera, and it's such an upgrade from my other camera! It's a purple Nikon coolpix and I love it!

3. Go to local thrift shops while in LA. Hopefully I can find some good ones! Not yet, I'm still looking, but I have been to plenty of boutiques. I didn't buy anything though because even a simple tank top was about 90 and I don't have that kind of money to spend.

4. Find books to read on the plane. I brought The Princess Bride by William Goldman, I've had it for a few months now and haven't gotten to read it yet, it's killing me! 

5. I made my own summer book! Now my goal is to take a pictures while on my trips and actually put them in my summer book. Plenty of pictures have been taken already and it's only been one day, now to find a way to print them off?

6. Work as much as I can till my trip. Done! I worked about thirty hours a week!

7. Go back and continue to learn Italian; I've been slacking. I haven't even opened the book since writing this...oops.

8. Work out in the hotel gym. Nope

9. Eat at some of the local "mom and pop" places in LA. So I'm starting to realize that there aren't really the same type of "mom and pop" places in LA as there are back home. The places here are less mom and pop and more cool indie places that if you don't know how to get to them you're most likely not going to find them. My best friend's cousins live here though and do know where to go, they've been so nice and really helpful. We ate at a burger place last night that had the best burgers I have ever eaten!! And to top it off I had some sweet potato fries to go with it! I'm hungry writing this and now want to eat there for every meal! 

10. Have my garage sale this weekend! I did, and I got enough money to help pay for some of the expenses of the trip. It was very good.

I'm so excited looking over all my goals for this month seeing I've been doing really well. I think this has been my best month so far!

Dad's Day!

Since I'm going to LA tomorrow, I can't believe I'm going tomorrow!, we moved father's day up and celebrated it yesterday.

To celebrate my dad and I went golfing. I hadn't tried to golf since I was about ten so needless to say my golfing technique is not very good. It was a lot of fun, but I think my dad had more fun watching me try to golf than he did golfing himself. Final score my dad hit par on every hole and I got 6 on every hole except for one that I hit par on. I was very excited!

Happy early father's day to all the dad's out there!

Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

• Ice
• Handful of blueberries (or any other fruit you want)
• A little less than a cup of milk
• Honey
• Vanilla extract (Put a little in then test how it tastes. Too much and it will taste weird)

Directions:

• Put everything in a blender and tada! It's really that simple. It only took about 5 minutes and I had a great snack, and it was healthy!

I'm so excited because this month I get to go to LA!! So most of my goals for this month are surrounding that trip.

1.First and Formost- Safety for the trip! The farthest west I've been is Ohio, and that's definitely the eastern part of the United States, haha.

My mom in LA back in the 80's. I love that her clothes are still in style!

2. Buy a camera!! It would be very beneficial if I could get one this week so I could figure out how to use it before I leave.

3. Go to local thrift shops while in LA. Hopefully I can find some good ones!

4. Find books to read on the plane.

5. I made my own summer book! Now my goal is to take a pictures while on my trips and actually put them in my summer book.

6. Work as much as I can till my trip.

7. Go back and continue to learn Italian; I've been slacking

8. Work out in the hotel gym.

9. Eat at some of the local "mom and pop" places in LA

10. Have my garage sale this weekend!

May 10 in 30 Finale

1. Save up for a new camera to take to California. Any thoughts on Cannon vs. Nikon? Nope. I do have the money, but not the time to look for one

2. Pre pay my car insurance for the next four months. Check! I feel like all I did this month was pay bills and buy gas, boo.

3. Work, a lot! and save that money. I did pretty well, the last two weeks I haven't worked as much as I would like to have, but overall I've been working about 25 hrs a week.

4. Make a patchwork quilt to take to the beach. I didn't do this one. The more I looked into it the more I realized how expensive and time consuming it would be to make my own so I opted out of this one.

5. Actually go to the beach. I went four times!! I'm very proud of myself in this category, and yes I am that person who takes 5 pictures of birds and one picture of myself, haha.

6. Find some new shoes for summer. I've been looking all over and haven't found a pair that I really want/will actually wear. I've found a couple wedges that I like, but I can't see myself wearing wedges around campus or walking a long distance in them so they're not practical. Sad day

7. Find a good book to read this month. I started reading the Hobbit, but haven't finished it yet, I also want a book from Paul Ekman called emotions revealed, but I haven't gotten it yet.

8. Buy a map of the world and mark the places I want to visit. Nope

9. Organize the yard sale piles/ find new items to go into the piles/ find a weekend to have the yard sale. It's going to be next weekend and I keep trying to add things to the pile every day! Hopefully this will help me with spending money this summer.

10. Start a recipe book. I made a recipe book!
