I hate being set up. It just really bothers me for some reason. Maybe it's because I feel like people feel sorry for me because I’m single, or it makes me feel like I’m a loser because I can't find anyone on my own, whatever it is, I don’t like it.
For example, my cousin always makes comments about me being single and not giving people a chance. In my defense, my cousin lives 2 states away and when I go to visit, I want to spend time with my family, not his friends. And he really has never tried to go out of his way to introduce me to anyone. Anyways, he called me one day and told me about this friend of his, we’ll call him “Matt”. When I asked if Matt was attractive, his response was, “he has a great personality.” Not a good start. So he tells me to look up Matt’s facebook. I look at his facebook and he seems like a decent guy, not really my type but whatever. A few weeks later Matt tried to add me as his friend on facebook. At first I didn’t really want to add him. I don’t know this guy and he didn’t send me a message or anything saying who he is, but I knew if I didn’t add him I’d hear it from my cousin. So I accept his friendship and the guy never attempts to even talk to me. After about a month I decided to delete him, I find it kind of creepy to friend someone who doesn’t even know me or make an attempt to know me. He obviously was not that interested in me.
Then it happened again today. A friend of a friend commented on my facebook to send her a text. I text this girl, whom I rarely talk to, and she tells me how her brother in law saw my picture on facebook and was interested. A few days before this, this girls brother told me he wanted to hook me up with the same guy..and his wife said NO immediately… coincidence? I think not. So I respond with who is he? Do I know him? She tells me he’s a nice guy and offers to send me a picture. I decline because I think its awkward for her to send me a random pic of this guy who is sitting next to her. So I tell her he can go ahead and add me on facebook if he wants to get to know me…I figure this is the easiest way of getting out of having to give him my number. So the guy just added me on facebook. He has made no attempt to say hello to me. And I don’t really think he is my type anyways. He’s 6 years older than me and posts pictures of his animals on facebook. I think the thing that bothers me the most about this incident is this girl knows nothing about me. I wouldn’t mind so much if my sister or one of my best friends who knows me really well would try to set me up with someone. How does this girl who knows nothing about me, other than who my family is, know what kind of guy would be good for me?!?
I don’t have time for guys who are too chicken to talk to me. Facebook is ruining my life. This is exhausting.

Update: Guy from story #2 just facebook messaged me...further proving why people who don't know me should not set me up. Here is his message:
"Ok.. So my sister in law said you were a single girl..haha. I would like to meet and hang out. Lets go out somewhere and have some fun!!! What do you think?
Oh.. Lets save the background information about ourselves for later. I'll just say one thing about myself. Im very driven and focused in my life."
I rest my case.

Work Parties Should be at Work
So every January the company I work for has an awards banquet and dinner on a Saturday night. This year, the banquet happens to fall on my birthday weekend. Spendng my birthday with my co-workers is not what I had in mind as a great birthday weekend. I never understood why companies have work parties outside of work. I don't know about you but I don't really want to spend my weekend with my co-workers who I am forced to work with and deal with all day, 5 days a week. I like to enjoy my weekends with my friends and family who I don't really get to see during the week because I'm too busy working. It would be much nicer if my employer took time out of my work day to award me, I would appreciate getting paid to not work much more, and it would be much more convenient. And then there's the whole issue of bringing a date. I always thought it was kind of weird when people would just bring random dates to work parties...I know I would get 20 questions at work the next day about who I was with. It's just all too much!!
Maybe I'm just bitter because I don't want to spend my birthday weekend with co-workers.

Garage Sale Update
I got to work last week and there was two tubes of lipstick on the table. One had a sticky that said, "slightly used." I picked them up and threw them away.

Work is not a Garage Sale
I try not to post much about work on here, but this certain situation just baffles me. So, we have a fairly large lunchroom for employees to eat lunch in or hang out in during their breaks. For some reason, over the years people have decided the lunchroom is a good place to dispose of items from home they no longer use. For example, old used books, unused trinkets, or old tupperware. While I thought this was kind of odd, it didn't bother me much. Until I got to work yesterday, when there was a bottle of half used cologne and a bottle of half used body spray someone put out in the lunchroom. I don't understand why anyone would think it'd be ok to just bring half used toiletry items and place them in the lunchroom for others to use. I'm so confused. And just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger they did..I get to work this morning and the bottle of cologne was gone..and replaced with ANOTHER bottle of different cologne. Naturally, I had to blog about it. Really people?!?

Why Men Love B&%*es!
My dear friend Shar bought me this book called, "Why Men Love B&*ches" She bought it for me because she felt I was selling myself short when it came to guys. I'm not completely through the book yet, but I think it has some really good incite. In general I agree with most of it, basically it says how a girl should value herself and not let a man walk all over her-she has to make him work for her because she is a prize and worth it. Which I totally agree with it. It also explains how to not appear to needy too a man and keep him intrigued. Other parts of the book I don't necessarily agree with...or at least don't have enough patience to go through with :) Then today I got my newest copy of Cosmo (whose subscription was ironically given to me by Shar too, haha.) As I was reading cosmo, I was asking a guy friend of mine if he agreed with what it said about guys, some he agreed with, some not so much. This got me to thinking...what's with all these rules and games we have to play to get guys?? Why can't I just be my impatient, sometime obnoxious, and silly self and let everything else fall into place?!? I like to think that if someone really likes me, they'll deal with how crazy and impatient I can get at times. I'm not saying these books don't have valid points, because they do..but there's only so many relationship books I can read before my brain explodes. And if certain girls would stop being so easy, guys would learn how to work a little harder to get what they want :)

Pumpkin Derby
Part of my job is being in charge of the Wellness Committee. The company goes all out for Halloween. We have department skits, departments decorate their cubicles, and we have a "parade of ghouls" where judges vote on the best male/female transformation. This year was our 2nd year doing the annual Pumpkin Derby. The departments are divided up into 9 teams, each department gets a pumpkin they must decorate and put wheels on, we then race them down a ramp and the winner wins a trophy and bragging rights for a year. Although it is stressful to organize and put on, I must say it was alot of fun and we have some pretty creative employees! Enjoy the pics!!

What do you do for Fun?
I have always thought it was an odd question when I first meet someone and they ask me, "what do you do for fun?" I mean I understand that they are just trying to be nice and get to know me, but I think its an odd question to ask someone. Maybe it's because I never really know what to say. Should I say, "In my spare time I facebook stalk people, go out with my frinds, occasionaly go to the gym, and watch reality t.v." I mean I think that's pretty standard for the average 20 something year old. Or maybe I'm embarassed by how lame my life sounds. I just feel like if you really wanted to get to know somebody you would eventually find out what they do for fun, and not have to ask if within the first few minutes you meet someone. Plus, are you really that intersted in what I do for fun?!?

Baggage.
So awhile back I went back to Moses and hung out with my grams. Grams is obsessed with reality tv and game shows, it always makes me laugh because I’m not sure she really understands what is going on 90% of the time. On this specific occasion she was watching a gameshow on the Game Show Network called ‘Baggage.’ My first clue that this was going to be a great show was the fact that Jerry Springer is the host. On Baggage, there is one contestant and 3 potential mates of the opposite sex. During the first round, the 3 mates each open a suitcase holding their baggage. The contestant then chooses which baggage he can’t live with and that mate must leave. The first round baggage isn’t anything too ridiculous, one girl spent thousands of dollars on ebay, another’s brother was living in a van in front of her house…very high quality woman on this show. The second round baggage gets a little heavier; one of the girls took her own silverware to restaurants because she is a germaphobe. So the contestant again chooses which baggage he would rather deal with and sends the other mate home, leaving one mate left. At this point, the contestant must reveal his baggage that he has been keeping from the mate and she gets to decide if she wants to deal with his baggage. If she decides she can handle his baggage, the couple gets to date and live happily ever after. On this specific episode the guy reveals he has impregnated 5 women, but in his defense he claims, “not all of these resulted in children.” Very appropriate. Thankfully, the lady had enough class to not take the guy on a date. As my grandma was watching the show with me she informed me that the last episode she watched had a man that revealed he was a 40 year old virgin and the lady decided she could not deal with his baggage because she had teenage daughters at home. I’m not sure what is more disturbing , the fact that people actually watch this show or the fact that my grandma was discussing this show with me.
I hope to God I never become desperate enough to be on this show.

Glee!
Whenever I am feeling down, or just bored, I watch an episode of Glee. And it makes my life so much better. I cannot explain the love I have for this show. It just makes me so happy, and I dont know why. It just does. Season 2 premeires Sept. 21st for all of my fellow Gleeks!

36 Things Every Single Girl Must Do Before She Settles Down: glamour.com
I stumbled upon this article and thought it was interesting....let's see how close I am to being ready to settle down!
To Build Your Confidence…
1. Go to a movie alone. Haven't done this, and not sure I ever will.
2. Lift weights. Check! Although, my max. is 5 lbs.
3. Try surfing, water-skiing, or some activity you don’t already know how to do. Could be riding a bicycle. Hahaha...someday I will ride a bike!
4. Take out the trash, set a mousetrap, do your taxes, build a bookcase. 2 out of 4. I will never set a mousetrap. Mice disgust me.
5. Live alone. Done!
6. Train for (and finish) a huge physical test like a half-marathon. Hmm...running isn't my style..
7. Go to a scary doctor’s appointment by yourself. Check!
8. Quit your job. It feels so good to take a job and shove it (and not be affecting anyone else’s livelihood). I do not miss being a legal assistant..ever!
9. Fly to a foreign country by yourself. A trip to Greece is definitely in order!
10. Learn to stand up for yourself. I told a creepy old man on the dance floor Friday night to not touch me..does that count?!?
To Be Able to Look Back and Say “I Had Fun”…
11. Witness something once-in-a-lifetime. So many things in my life have been once in a lifetime. I think the whole family going to Portugal for Raquel's wedding was probably a once in a lifetime trip that will never happen again..and was one of the funnest times of my life!
12. Revel in being able to watch all the reality TV you want. I'm obsessed with my DVR..it allows me to watch hours and hours of Bravo TV and MTV reality tv. Fist Pump!
13. Get drunk during the day, just because you can. Around the World at GU...I was passed out in bed by 3 o'clock..in the afternoon!
14. Go on a date with someone who actually makes you nervous. Dates make me nervous. period.
15. Go out with an older man who takes you somewhere nice and makes you feel like a million bucks. Still looking for a sugar daddy..taking baby-steps...my top priority is making sure they have a car!
16. Go out with a guy who makes you laugh ‘til it hurts. It's pretty tough to be funnier than me..still looking for this guy ;)
To Get Perspective…
17. Be a good wingwoman. It’s not always about you. Correction: It IS always about me..but I can take one for the team every once in awhile..haha. Isidra and I are known to be a pretty great tag team!
18. Chill with your widowed and single grandma. She knows “alone”! Do this pretty often..and she always leaves me with the best/funniest stories to tell!
19. Volunteer. I love doing this...and don't do it enough, definitely need to do it more often!
To Make You Appreciate the Next Guy…
20. Do at least one Valentine’s Day alone. Ha!! Pretty sure I've done pretty much every Valentine's Day alone...wa wa wa!! Looks like I'm going to be VERY appreciative!
21. Attend a wedding (or 15) alone. Check. Check. Check...can't count how many times I've done this!
22. Date the creeps. You’ll really value the nice guys afterward. DONE!
Looks like I'm going to be VERY appreciative once I settle down!
To Make You Feel Sexy and Attractive…
23. Buy yourself some flowers. Check.
24. Invest in a LBD (little black dress) and some sexy stilettos. Done it!
25. Sit at a bar by yourself and drink a martini. Cool. I'll get on this right away!
26. Buy something frivolous and expensive that you LOVE wearing. Probably done this one too many times!
To Make the Most of Your Free Time…
27. Finish all your schooling if you can. I think I'm done for now! Thanks to my amazing parents!
28. Throw yourself into something time-consuming, like learning a foreign language. You may not have time to do this again until you retire and the kids are off to college. I really want to brush up on my portuguese...must find rosetta stone portuguse asap!
To Make Yourself a Better Partner in the Future…
29. Make a list of all your faults. My hand might cramp up if I do that....lol.
30. Learn to cook well. I’m still working on this! Although, I must say I am learning to really enjoy cooking!
31. Get some hobbies. Something’s gotta keep you occupied—plus it’ll make you seem interesting. Working on this as well..still trying to find something I'm passionate about!
32. Let your married friends edit your online dating profile. I don't have alot of married friends...and I refuse to create an online dating profile. This will probably never be accomplished.
33. Get your finances in order. I think I've got my finances pretty under control if I do say so myself!
To Appreciate Being Single…
34. Babysit someone’s baby for an hour. Done this plenty of times..and I love it!
35. Help a friend through her divorce or a bad break-up. Of course I've done this! I'm a great distraction!
36. Host a girls-only night. Have these all the time! Love them!
Looks like I'm almost ready to settle down!!!

The Family Ward
So this weekend I was hanging out with a friend of a friend who happens to be mormon. She was telling a story where she metioned she was at the "singles ward service". This got my attention. I had to ask her what exactly the "singles ward" was. She explained to me that once a mormon turns 18 they can go to a singles ward church service with other single mormons instead of going to a church service with their family. She then explained to me that the singles ward is only for those who are between the ages of 18 and 30 and single (obviously). I then asked her what happens when a person turns 30 and is still single, to which she responded you have to go back to the family ward. This makes me sad. Basicaly if you are over 30 and single, you have to be humiliated and "go back to the family ward." I dont know why, but this has really been bothering me. No wonder mormons get married so young, they don't want to be embarassed and have to go back to the family ward.
I have nothing against the mormon religion. I'm just glad that my religion allows me to go to church with everyone, no matter what age we are!

Hair Product Whore
I'll admit it..I'm an self-proclaimed hair product whore. I love hair products, I can't get enough of them, and I love trying new ones! I have 3 different shampoos and conditioners in my shower right now. I went to the mall today with some friends and wasn't planning on buying any new hair products, but once I walked into the hair product store I couldn't resist.
So I bought this new stuff for my curls...I was TOTALLY running out of my old stuff..it was definitely necessary :)
It's organic and has vitamin rich citrus extracts, including grape seed, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants (straight from the website!). I'm totally digging this whole organic thing right now!
I'll let you know how it works out after I use it!
Song of the day....I Like It by Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull..its catchy and has "All Night Long" in it, can't get much better than that!

Disaster Date.
So I should have known after having a conversation with a guy I met at a bar who told me he wanted to "throw me over his shoulder and take me home because I was so little," that a date with him would end badly (see June 27th blog), but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He had originally asked if I wanted to join him for dinner, but then a few hours before we were suppose to meet changed plans on me and asked if I could meet him for drinks later on because it was his friend's birthday and he didn't want to bail on him. I was kind of relieved when I heard this because that meant I could bring my girls along for moral support. So the girls and I grab a drink then proceed to head to the bar that he had told me he was at about 30 min. before. The girls and I get to the bar and I try to text him to see where he is sitting (ok, I'll admit I didn't 100% remember what he looked like so that maybe if I texted him he'd be easier to find). So he doesn't respond to my text so the girls and I just walk in and I spot him, sitting way too close to another girl having a conversation with her. Red flag #1. I make eye contact with him and he does the head nod..not even a wave or gets up to greet me. Red flag #2. So I proceed to go over to him, he doesn't introduce his "friend" he's talking to and doesn't seem at all interested in my friends. My friends and I ask him where the birthday boy is and he tells me that the birthday boy isn't actually 21, so cannot enter the bar. Redy flag #3. He then asks what we're drinking, so I proceed to order a beer thinking since he asked what I was drinking he was planning on paying for it, but he did not. Red flag #4. After that, he grabbed a pack of cigarettes that were sitting next to him on the bar and tells me he is going to the bathroom. He goes to the bathroom...then takes a pit stop to talk to the same girl he was talking to when I got there, and go outside and smoke. Red flag #5. At this point, I am thinking it is about time to leave...but he askes me if my friends and I would like to play pool, I agree and warn him that I'm pretty impatient when it comes to games like this to which he responds..you should just smoke some weed and chill. Red flag #6. THEN his friend decided he did not want to play against us and left us out of the game of pool. Red flag #7. At this point, I had had enough red flags and decided to leave.

I Just Want to Throw You Over my Shoulder and Take You Home with Me
So this weekend I had a fun filled weekend with fun filled friends at Hoopfest here in Spokane...the largest 3 on 3 Tournament ON EARTH!!! For some reason when people are drunk around me they realize how short I am and have the need to let me know..and sometimes proceed to try to pick me up. For example, I met this really cool guy who told me, "You're so small, I just want to pick you up throw you over my shoulder and take you home with me." This is not the first time I have been told something like this.
I get it, I'm short. But I don't understand why people think they need to tell me that I am short, or feel the need to pick me up to prove to the world that I am a small person and can be easily picked up.

No Worries. Lots of Roads.
Today was the NBA draft. I'm sad to say Matty B did not make the cut. So many of my favorite GU Basketball memories include the great Matty B!!! He is greatly missed here in Spokane...especially at the Marquee!
Fun Fact: Matt and I share the same birthday.
In the words of Matt Bouldin's twitter after the draft ended, "No Worries. Lots of Roads."

My Co-Workers are Pretty Funny
Sometimes I really love working in H.R. Last weekend I was in charge of coordinating/working at our company's annual Golf Tournament. Max had no idea this was going to happen.

People the World Needs Most
Adam Morrison is now a 2-time NBA Champ. For those of you who don't know, he went to GU while I was there and decided not to finish school and play for the NBA. The video below basically encompasses all that Adam did for his team this year..and last year. I can't stop watching...and laughing. Gonzaga University is "educating the people the world needs most"...obviously.

Protect and Guard Her Heart...
So I haven't really watched much of the last few seasons of the Bachelor or Bachelorette, but for some reason I have gotten into this latest season with Ali. One of the bachelors, Kasey Kahl, is completely off of his rocker. This guy is a creepy mccreepertin and it frightens me to know that people like him actually exsist on this Earth. Seriously. He has serious issues, and needs help. I hope his family is watching this and is makig sure he seeks help IMMEDIATELY after leaving this show. I honestly believe the show is forcing Ali to keep him just to keep viewers watching. He is completely off of his rocker. If you have a few 10-15 minutes you HAVE to watch these. You will ot be disappointed. Make sure to watch them in order!
Song of the day: OMG by Usher...because that's what I thought when I first heard Kasey sing...and it has a good beat.

San Francisco
I just got back from San Francisco a few days ago and had a fantastic time! It was great to explore the city and take everything in. One of my favorite parts about San Fran is how diverse, open and free everyone seems to be.
Example #1
We went Doloros Park to have some lunch and these 2 men were laying out in the park in their underwear, the same park where children were playing, people were eating and walking their dogs.
Example #2
We were walking downtown when this guy rode up in his pimped out bike. Oblivious to it being any different from any other bike riding down the street.
I think this is pretty awesome, and hope someday I can be just as free with myself and who I am as the people I saw in San Francisco.
Song of the trip: Money Can't Buy You Class by Luann from Real Housewives of NY..listen to it once and it will be stuck in you head for days!

St. Anthony
A few months ago when I went to the visit my family, my grandma explained to me that she was watching the Mass on the Catholic Channel (which she does on a daily basis) and heard the priest say that if a woman wanted to find her soul mate she would need to kneel in front of a statue of St. Anthony and “beg” him to find her a husband. Grams felt it was vital to give me this information. I thanked her and asked her to please continue praying for me. She then proceeded to bring me all sorts of prayer cards and St. Anthony medals she has gotten in the mail throughout the years, hoping they would somehow help me in my search for a husband. A few weeks later, I called my grandma and she politely asked me, “Have you been praying to St. Anthony?” I responded to her, “Yes Grandma,” in which she responded, “And nothing has happened yet??” I am all about praying and believing in a higher power, but this was just all a little too much for me.
I get it, in the words of MC Hammer, we’ve got to pray just to make it today, and I cannot even count how many times I have prayed to St. Anthony to help me find stuff, but I don’t understand the constant pressure to find a husband. I would much rather wait 10 years to find the right guy then settle for someone tomorrow and not be completely happy. I know in the long run it will all be worth it. I have seen too many people in my life stuck in a bad relationship only because they feel they won’t be able to find someone else. At the same time I’m getting a little impatient. So, St. Anthony, if you are reading this (which I’m sure you are) help a sister out!
Song of the day: Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz because I just love this song, and it basically is the story of my love life.

Splashed.
So a few years ago I went to Eastern Wash. University’s homecoming weekend. My dear friend Isidra and I started the day off like anyone would attending a homecoming weekend…porn stars in slurpie cups sitting in her car in front of a bar. Eventually we decided to actually go into the bar where we met some EWU alums. One of the guys, I can’t remember his name anymore, began to tell me how I haven’t lived life to the fullest because I have never a.) done something spontaneous like drop my pants in the middle of a bar and b.) been splashed. So I ask the guy, what exactly is splashing? He immediately threw me on the couch we were standing in front of and jumped on top of me, in the bar. I never talked to him again or figured out what exactly "splashing" is. I still find it hilarious my friends that were in the bar did nothing but watch as I was being splashed...like it was normal. I am still working on the whole dropping my pants in the middle of the bar thing. Only then will my life be complete.
