Wow okay so I'm finally posting after a few days of slacking ;) Anyways~ I've been super busy with the boyfriend, friends, fam, and work so I haven't really gotten to updating this. Well today was memorial day and It was such a good day. I had to work at 8 am which wasn't terrible being that I was able to leave at 12. I came home, showered, and went up to the mall while my boyfriend helped his father put in the new liner to the pool. I bought a neckalace for the wedding at the Botanical Gardens !! It looks like this:

lol sorry I look kind of stupid, just in my pjs right now but anywayssss, yepp !! So it's a bib necklace and it's not too over the top either. It was priced originally for $8.50 and I got it for $2.15 !! I cannot control my happiness O:)

Tomorrow is going to be super fun. I'm going to have a day to relax @ home after not being home for seriously a week and a half, then I'm hanging out with my boyfriend, having beers and GOING IN THE POOL !! :D I'm so amped. I need to buy some cool floats =^.^= Anyways, don't really have much else to say. Life's good ~~~~ byeeeee

Give in, give in, give it all, slow it down.

Hellooo. Today has been shit so far. I had to get up at 5:45 AM and didn't fall asleep until around 12:30 because I couldn't breath and just felt so weird sleeping alone in my bed :,( Whatevz. Basically I'm just hanging around here for a few hours this afternoon until my boyfriend gets out of work. I kinda want to start a new book but I'm afraid that I'll just begin it and wont bother finishing it like I usually do, haha.

So. I'm now interested in buying a bathing suit. I've been looking online for a few and so far I've come to like these suits:

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and a few that my mother would kill me over (but i think they're absolutely adorable):

& my absolute favorite:

  What do you think? ♡♡♡♡

Hii :) Well it's Monday, but I appreciate the fact that the whole "Monday" thing doesn't really apply to me anymore being that I'm on summer vacation. I spent yesterday working from 8 am-12 and spent the rest of my day with the boyfriend. We just went to the diner for lunch, relaxed @ home and watched The Real Housewives of New Jersey (I appreciate that he tolerates my obsession for the show). We slept super super late today so I'm just still kinda waking up and it's 2:42 pm. I'm going to go shopping again today because I'm very determined to find a bib necklace for the dress I'm wearing to the wedding in the Bronx in June. I'm also kinda interested in getting a bathing suit. Vinnie's father is opening the pool this summer! I'm so excited.

I'm working tomorrow at 7am until 12. Not terrible hours but the morning shift is starting to effect me a little bit. I'm in this constant state of drowsiness that I can't seem to shake. I hope I can soon :| The shitty weather doesn't help much either. I'm not sure what the deal is with the weather in NY right now. :,( I have nothing new to talk about really. If I do get anything today I might do a haul video or at least post pictures of what I got. Take care xxxxx

Edit @ 7:30 PM~
Well, I went shopping this afternoon and bought some pretty cute things !! I did find a necklace that I'm thinking of buying for the wedding, however, I'm going to have to order it offline cause the one I found in the store was broken :*( Here's what I got!

A cute pink silky tank that's pretty flowy. It has a sort of crop top effect to it. I love the buttons in the front also.

Eyelet shorts with gold buttons.

Denim shorts with lace trim

Brown faux leather flats

Pink jelly flip flops with gold ring & bow

The same flip flops in black because they're equally cute

Cream colored faux leather flats

= ^.^ =

I had a lot of "me time" today. I went to work at 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. The shift wasn't terrible minus the fact that "judgment day" must have unleashed all of the crazies in Kingston. More crazy people paid a visit to dunkin donuts than usual. I find it entertaining. Just gives me something to look at, haha. After work I washed up and went up to the mall by myself. I made a sick Nicki Minaj mix from my itunes and was in all of my glory with the windows down !! I also bought shoes for the dress! I got them at Charlotte Russe. They were $20.00. I also bought a ring for the dress (that matches perfectly) and a set of various studs that are addorrrrrable.

This is what the shoes look like online as well as on my feet (I apologize for the fat legs)

& this is the ring that matches the dress's color perfectly:

This is the color of the dress (I apologize for poor quality):

The rest of the dress is pretty self explanatory. It is just a very crisp straight shape. I was planning on getting a bib neckalace but I'm not sure how I'm going to match the ring. :/

Lastly, here are the other studs:

Tonight I'm not doing anything. My boyfriend is reffing @ a wrestling show in newburgh that I was supposed to go to with my Dad but he forgot and i have to work at 8:00 AM tomorrow. I'm just laying in bed really lonely :, ( I went out to dinner to applebeas tonight with my Mom and Dad though :) That was fun. I'm just overtired from last night I think. We had a few friends over Vinnie's (my boyfriend). When his friend Mike came over, he bought me a bottle of Absolute Ruby Red Vodka & a pack of American Spirits in honor of my graduation which I thought was super nice ^.^. Then Vinnie's friend Heather and her boyfriend came over for a little bit. When they left, Mike's sister came over and we played Settlers of Catan and drank and drank and drank. I cut myself off because I know my limits especially when I have to work in the AM haha. My boyfriend,however, did not cut himself off lol. Every time I looked at him he had another glass of beer and so on and so fourth. After we played the game, I layed down on the couch while they watched a movie. He kept trying to wake me up as I was falling asleep but I would just growl because I was super tired. I awoke at midnight to Vinnie yelling : " I CAN'T FIND ANYONE'S PHONE!!!!". I then realized Mike and his sister had left.... and Vinnie was like, frantically looking through my bag to find my phone so he could call his. It was so weird. I just said, "Babe !!!! Wow stop yelling oh my goooodddd" !! I'm not a good sport when I'm woken up. He realized I was trailing off to sleep again and he just yelled "BABE GET UP COME ON !!" It was such a drunken mess lol. We laid down in bed and I just hear him say, " Babe... can you help me please?? Can you hold me? I feel sick." It was too adorable.

Hope you all have enjoyed my interesting story, lol. Take care xxxxxx

Cause i'd rather pretend that I'll still be there in the end.

 

Those are my final grades for this semester! I'm kind of pissed off about the C+ but that class is a lot harder than I had ever imagined. The majority of the class failed so I guess I should be proud of my C+ ! Well, my morning has consisted of trying to rid of a virus from my computer. The "windows 7 recovery" virus is a bitch to get rid of and I still have small traces of it on my computer. I had to manually get rid of it which seriously took forever. It's possible that it took me approx. 3 hours. Meh, whatever

I cleaned the fuck out of my boyfriend's apartment also. Like we are talking about hands & knees, scrubbing bubbles, bleach, etc. etc. I did a damn good job if I do say so myself. I'm just exhausted now. He doesn't keep food in his apartment really so all I've had to eat today is this bag of popcorn that was approx. like, 300 calories or something. Tonight we're having people over and drinking. I'm excited I guess, I'm just ridiculously exhausted from the past couple of weeks which kicked my ass completely. Oh & my drivers license finally came in the mail =^.^= So exciting !!

I also am contemplating whether or not to order shoes for my boyfriend's best friend's wedding in June or to actually go into a store and buy them. I almost feel like there's more of a selection online. These are some pairs that I'm looking at:

 

All of the shoes are from Forever21 and Gojane. 

I'm super super sleepy. I'm going to go play some xbox.

Summer has begun.

Hii =^.^=
Okay so I'm very pleased that summer vacation has finally started. I graduated from my 2 year college, SUNY Ulster, last night.

It was such a great experience. I have learned many things from my two years at SUNY Ulster. I have met amazing people and have created friendships that have influenced me greatly. Last night was kind of emotional for me. Being that my grandfather is on the board of trustees, he gave me my diploma. I started getting emotional as I was walking up the ramp to receive my diploma and of course started crying the moment I saw him. I really appreciate that fate and God allowed him to be present for that moment. He's getting old and not doing as well as he used to so I was very great full for that moment. :)

Not quite sure what to do with myself now that school's over. I guess there isn't much to do other than work, and work out. LOL ;)

I gave myself a manicure/full set for graduation day.

And although you can't really tell because of the flow of my top, I've dropped approx. 5 lbs! I'm taking my green tea pills and drinking a lot of water!

 

I'm going to my sister's orchestra concert tonight then staying at my boyfriends for two days or so since I don't have to work until Saturday. ^.^ byee !!
