Coffee, Twix, Codification, and Becca

Wednesday Thoughts

#1 I watched "Teen Mom" last night on MTV. It was so, so, so, cute. Most of the baby's (except for Leah, who is Amber and Gary's daughter) had their first birthdays! It was too cute! Catelynn and Tyler got engaged, and I know they're way too young (but who am I to talk). But it was still so cute. :)

#2- I am currently watching a video about the "Codification" , which is the consolidation of all the accounting rules into topics, sub topics, etc, etc. It's not really that interesting, but I will need to know this, so it's good that it's provided to us I guess.

#3- I just treated myself to a coffee and a twix this afternoon. It's so bad, but, it's a treat.

#4- I'm starting to think that I have a weather sensitive knee condition. My knees are killing me and I'm not really sure waht to do about it.

#5- Sometimes I miss being an elementary education major.I know it would have gotten harder, but I really feel like everything was always really fun, and I was never "stressed". I love accounting, don't get me wrong, but I feel like it's so serious, and so formal, and sometimes I just want something care free and fun. I obviously won't be changing my major back, but I do miss it sometimes. I am hoping that when I get a job, I can talk to my boss about helping our with Junior Achievement. If you don't know what that is, it's like month or two long weekly visits where people from the community come to elementary and middle school class rooms, and teach the kids about some of the fundamentals of business. I remember they came to my school when I was little, and we had a couple weeks long simulation of owning a donut shop. And it was just kind of cool.. so I think that would be a really fun way to kind of do the 'best of both worlds'. But again, it'd have to be during the school day horus, so whatever boss I had would have to be supportive of my decision.

#6- I saw Bex on campus a few minutes ago and I was pretty excited about it. I love seeing old friends on campus. :o) Turns out she'd be willing to go shoe shopping with me on Saturday at some point, so I'm pretty excited about that.

#7- I have a lot of reading to catch up on and start over the next few days. I think I will be doing a lot more reading during the weekends this semester than I have done before. I feel as though all my classes are just more reading heavy this semester.

#8- I am meeting my friend Laura for dinner tonight, at 5:30. Since my knees are killing me, I think I am going to try and do a little yoga before dinner, instead of the gym. I really want to try and start having something like that that I can do at home, and that is less hard on my body for the days that I don't want to go to the gym.

#9- I love my fiance, and that he reads my blogs everyday. I saw him yesterday at lunch, and he said he'd just read my blog, and meant to come over and rub my neck (which I stated yesterday was sore) to show me he'd read it, but he'd forgotten. I just think that's really sweet. He's probably reading this right now, and his head is probably getting all big. :P

#10- Ever since I lost a little bit of weight, I don't mind wearing dress clothes as much. I used to feel like they were very restricting, but they don't feel that way anymore. I can sit in a button down top, and not feel like its too tight. And, I can wear dress pants without feeling like they fit funny. I'm pretty glad about that, because I have to dress up a lot. I actualyl kind of ike it, I love the pretty colors and the jewelery. I really just need to work on finding shoes.

MTV Guilty Pleasures

I've always thought of people who compulsively watch TV shows on MTV as kind of ... weird? I never saw the thrill to shows like "The Hills" or what was the other one? "Laguna Beach" and now "Jersey Shore"... I just didn't get it. I never really got into them I guess. I would watch shows like "MADE" but I didn't watch them religiously, but when I would happen upon an interesting episode, I'd tune in. However, lately, I've discovered two little "guilty pleasures"

#1 Teen Mom
- I know, it sounds so weird and like something that I wouldn't like, but I love it. It's four mom's Macy, Amber, Catelynn, and Farrah... and they all have such different circumstances. Let me give you a little information if you don't know. Macy and Ryan have a son, they are trying to work on their relationship, but Ryan is immature. Catelynn and her boyfriend (name forgotten! woops!) gave up their daughter for adoption and it seems it has pulled them even closer together. Amber and her boyfriend/fiance aren't doing great. They have a daughter, and they want to be able to be together and happy around their daughter, but they don't want to surround her with an unhappy family... which I think is pretty mature for 16 year olds. And Farrah has not been with "the baby's daddy" on the show (or on 16 and Pregnant) as far as I can tell, ever, except long enough for conception. Also all the girls are in school in some way, which I think is really impressive. I don't know, I really love the show. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes, but I still think it's really interesting.

While I really like all the couples the one I'm most interested in as Amber and Gary (ha! remembered his name). I feel like they are both pulling really hard to do what is right for their daughter. And I feel like while Gary is sometimes kind of immature, he's definitely 'trying' to do the right thing most of the time. (In 16 and Pregnant, he bought some really expensive gaming system, and Amber got upset because they had a daughter on the way, anddd he went right back and took it back and felt like a complete idiot, and THEN he bought her an engagement ring.)  Anyway, they're the couple I find most intriguing.

Side note: I'm not sure how I feel about season 2 of "16 and Pregnant"- the girls on this show look to be a little trashier. Plus, there are 10 girls, that seems like it's going to be a lot more to keep up with. I'd rather just keep watching Teen Mom.

New Episodes Tuesdays at 10PM

#2 My Life as Liz
To be honest, I've only seen like two episodes of this show, and I do think it's fairly new, but I really like it. The girl Liz isn't super popular from what I can tell. She hangs out witht he "gamer/emo" crowd (in high school) but she doesn't come off as being like an over dramatic "punk" girl, which is normally how those girls are portrayed. She seems so sweet, and just like someone who never really fit in witht he "popular crowd". Apparently she used to be friends with them sort of, and then they turned on her? Oh, so typically high school. She reminds me so much of someone, but I can't really figure out who. Anyway, I'm really interested in seeing how this show works out. :)

New episodes air on Mondays at 10:30 (Ahh, sweet it's over in time for the 11 news!)
