Weirdest Thing To Ever Happen To Me

Why hello there, my little sugar plum faries! I haven't seen you in a while! (Sorry about that) I may have been gone for a while, but I am back now!

First, let's talk about the little changes to my blog. I removed the "daily quote feature" (again, sorry!) I started to neglect it and I didn't want my "daily quote" to become the "every-few-days quote". So, say goodbye to that. I also added a handy dandy (okay not really "handy") new little permanent quote. You will find this to your right and maybe up a little bit. Seriously guys, I know its long but take the time to read it. Its pretty awesome.

Secondly, I am going to say this and I promise that I am not exaggerating or using hyperbole or a colloquialism or anything like that. I. Am. Dead. Serious. And with that in mind:

Okay, so the weirdest thing happened to me the other day. And I mean the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. So my best friend (M) and her boyfriend (N) were sitting behind me on the bus on the way back from post prom (kings island) and they were talking about how M was going to meet N's mo when we got back into town (we had to drive 2 hours to KI.) N made a joke that M should call N's mom "Mrs. Insert Last Name Here" since she was recently divorced and N would find it funny. Since he suggested M call her by her married name, I (me--don't want you to get confused with all these initials) asked if she went back to her maiden name. And then for some reason which I don't remember (maybe because I barely had 5 hours of sleep the night before) I asked what her maiden name was. Turns out her maiden name is the same as my mom's maiden name. All three of us immediately freak out that N and I are somehow related. But after further inspection, we brushed it off because my mom grew up in Michigan, and his didn't. 

Yesterday, M texts me and says that N and I are distant cousins. One of N's cousin's(A) (whom my mom grew up with) is one of my cousins. A's grandpa and my mom's grandpa were brothers. Now, I have no idea how that translates. 2nd cousin, 3 times removed? 1st cousin, 5 times removed? 3rd cousin? I have no clue. I just know that N and I are related. Now, may I remind you that before a month ago, I have never met N in my life (that I know of.) And N and M CERTAINLY did not meet through me. 

So there you have it, the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. Think you can top it? Until next time, my lovelies...

The End is Near

For most of you: I hope you had a splendid time over spring break. For the rest of you: I hope you got herpes. But for all, spring break is over. (really? already?) And what comes with the end of spring break? The worst months of our lives! So, let's just embrace the inevitable and find a comfy seat on the struggle bus.

But aside from scraping our way through the last few months (EVER!!) of high school, comes many other things. College decision deadlines are coming up next month. If you have decided, then it's orientation-scheduling-time. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have already seen some prom pictures on Insta. And if it isn't quite prom time for you yet, I certainly hope you already have your dress.(For my adventures in finding my dress, see here.) Otherwise, guuurl you better get your butt in gear! And then there are the parties! Graduation parties. End-of-the-year parties. End-of-high-school parties. Which brings the question of: What do I buy my friends for graduation? But fear not, because isn't that what Google is for? 

So, regarding your many upcoming adventures and big decisions, have fun! (But really though, try to throw a little bit of fun in there. We are finishing high school after all.) And I hope you chose the right seat on the bus, because the next two months are going to be rough.

Until next time, my lovelies...
