When all the pieces fit together...

Finally my life is going good.  Im trying hard in school.  it sucks (as it should).  I got a  job at an engineering company. It is excellent opportunity and it's a great company to be apart of.  Don't get me wrong - I am very happy about it.  I just don't know why I don't feel happier.  I feel kind of empty.  
 
 It seems like my life is falling together,finally, and I should be happy. My dad has been having clean scans from his cancer (he had osteosarcoma in his upper jaw).  My room is clean.  Everyone in my family is doing well.  No one is terribly sick.  We have had no major incidents, well since my grandma's funeral.  
 
 I just feel that I should be happier.  I should feel something more. 
 
Am I broken?
 
My life is falling together finally.
 
What's wrong with me?
 
I know this is just a stage. Once I begin my job I hope that it changes.  Routine always helps. Plus the sense of accomplishment.  It will be awesome.  and fun.  and good.

Awesome Grey's Anatomy Quotes - Season One

  I LOVE LOVE LOVE Grey's Anatomy.  So much so I like to re-watch it.  And I am recording my favorite moments and quotes
 
The Opening scene with Meredith and Derek.  I love how it's foreshadowing.  and awkward and awesome.
 
When O'Malley is defined as 007
 
When Grey and Shepard first make out in the elevator
 
When "the four" get the brain dead patient to become an organ donor
 
When Izzy, as Dr. Model, yells at everyone because she put her self through med school by using her body to model.
 
Meredith:  How do you know what's real, and what's not?  
Derek:  You Just do. 
 
The fact they call Karev Evil Spawn.  
 
Derek: Meredith I am so sorry.   Addison. What are you doing here?
Addison: You would know if you bothered to return any one of my phone calls.  [to Meredith] Hi. I'm Addison Shepherd.
Meredith: Shepherd?
Addison: And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband
 
When did we become grownups?  And how do we make it stop?
 
It's my party, and I'll get drunk if I want to.
 
 So you blew me off for a bottle of tequila?  That's not nearly as much fun to wake up to.

About My Mother's Day

Hey There!
So this post about Mother's Day is later than I said it would be...but hey.  Better late then never.  :)
 
I made her a card with this lovely kit she had gotten for...no good reason. Because My mom is awesome.
And with this loverly kit I made her card!
 
Front: 

Inside:
 
Back:
 
 
 
I also made her this cake with two circle pans and icing in between.  Then I decorated it.  :)
 
 
 
 And I also bought her some roses and put them in a vase.


I put the flowers and the card on her nightstand when she was in the shower.  she really enjoyed it.  

And that is what I did for my mother on mother's day.

Some Easy Hair Styles

So I am pretty lazy.  I like my hair to look cute, but I don't like to do something that takes forever to do - I am an engineer for goodness sake.  "Ain't nobody got time for that"  So I am hitting up the internet for some cute, easy hairstyles for my hair that looks similar to this:

except I don't look like sex.
 
The first one I found and tried and liked is this one:
 
 via
 
 It's a bun, that instead of just tying it into a bun and leaving it as is, you invert it back through your hair to create a different look.  Easy Peasy. :)
This look can also be accomplished with a ponytail:
 
 via
 
 
 via
  I like this, and I used to do this before I had bangs.  But this has inspired me to try this with my bangs.  I might try doing this with my hair below my bangs.  Who knows?  It might be cute.  
 
 Fishtail Braid!!  how can I forget!!!
via
A little more time consuming, but totally cute and worth it.
this is called the 'low rolled updo'
via
 It is cute and relatively easy to do!  under five minutes.  #thingsIlove
 
here is an 'easy to do' hairstye that will be relatively easy to do... once I master it.
I found this image via google.  
 HERE is a tutorial of how to do it.
And that is all I found.  :)  If you have any more idea's let me know!
 
I hope you had a wonderful mother's day.  I'll post tomorrow about what I did.  if you want some idea's of what to do in the future.

School.... It is sucking my soul.....

Hey There!
 
I wish I could  be blogging more, I really do.  Unfortunately school is an evil soul sucking bitch.  :(  
 
I did take a thought catalog 'break'  and was reading some articles when I  just woke up. 
I was reading 30 Greatest Quotes About Women, and here are some quotes that I like:
 
Women are made to be loved, not understood.  
-Oscar Wilde
Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. 
-Joseph Conrad
I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn’t be a staring contest.  
-Frank Sinatra
...Good ol' Frankie.  Us smart girls are good things.:)

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.  
-Coco Chanel
Preach it Coco!

There are only two types of women — goddesses and doormats.  
-Pablo Picasso
Always be a Goddess. Never anyone's doormat.
