Nails and Daggers?

Nails and daggers are very different things but not when it comes to long nails! I have found this out the hard way. I used to bite my nails, so I went so long without beautiful nails (not to sound conceited, but I kinda am about my nails, ask anyone I have daily contact with). I have a friend at school who loves to mention how I could claw her eyes out with my nails (wouldn't happen) but still the comment is kinda odd. My nails are about maybe an inch long if not a bit more and strong. I am an avid user of nail hardener which makes my nails very hard to break and I can even carry hot plates on them (Yes their that long)! I am a playful person with sharp nails. I don't think the two mix. At all. I love spending time with my boyfriend but I don't think he's a fan of the 10 mini daggers I own. Not only has he been caught in the crossfire of them, I have too! I have no idea how he puts up with them considering if I even poke him it's like a sharp toothpick in the skin (I think I have a keeper, and I'm not just talking about my nails). Well everyone is a casualty of my nails including my family, friends and beloved dog. 

I know what you're thinking. Why don't you get rid of them? Well I've worked so hard and I am so proud of my nails that I couldn't dare part with them!  I also never knew painting nails could be so easy. It is incredibly easy with long nails! Well stay tuned Gals and Guys for more stories about this girls venture into the fashion filled world that is to her, the unknown!

Weighing the Pro's and Con's

     Pumping Iron, Lifting weights, breaking out the muscles and too much work? There are

plenty of names for weight lifting. Over the summer I felt quite lazy and wanted to get some work in. Luckily my best friend had a membership to Platinum Fitness Gym! Wasn't that a surprise for a few people over the summer? Teenagers working out? Maybe working out thumb muscles on video games and texting right? Nah! 

     I took weight lifting for two years when I first started high school and I fell in love, more like lifted into love (Get it? Lifted?) Ha. I happily started attending the gym on a weekly basis with my lovely work out buddy! After starting off light we gradually got stronger, after a month I went from about 50lbs on Bench Press to about 65lbs/70lbs! My friend as well made fantastic promise! Now the gym is usually known as a gross place with men having larger biceps than heads! Not this one. Everyone is friendly and it is very clean! I even suggested my grandmother check it out! I have been having the time of my life and on almost every weekend I plan on going with her! It's 10lbs better to work out with a friend than by yourself any day!

      Now they have some pretty crazy machines so we mainly stick to weight lifting and basic other exercises, such as stretching and leg press, arm weights etc. Before you go thinking that we're crazy, try it out! Here's a little facts for you! Women's bone density get's weaker thus it's good that we women weight lift to stay in peak physical condition for those heels right? Also there are ways to keep your nails unbroken! Now here is a fact for those men! Men should do water aerobic exercises and stretching to stay health and limber! So get out and try it out! At this particular gym there is a salt water pool (Crazy!) and quite the chlorinated jacuzzi!

Fantabulous Fried Foods?

      Is there such a thing as fantastic fried foods? Now, I am not the largest lover of fried foods but I know that they are the favorite of quite a few people. So is there such a thing as fantastic? Delicious yes, odd looking yes, godly yes! But the calories! OH THE CALORIES! Oh the humanity of the calories! What am I to do! All this week in culinary we have been doing fair foods! It's driving me crazy! I went the fair yesterday and all the food! It's just absurd! It's everywhere, from deep fried cream cheese, to deep friend butter? It's absurd! 

     In my culinary class room, I swear i'm gaining calories through the scent! Monday was deep

fried anything, Tuesday was Indian Fry Bread, Wednesday was pancakes?, Today was deep friend snickers and tomorrow is, I am not sure. But i'm sure it's quite a Hum-Dinger! Either way it's fried foods galore! Non-stop. All day. The scent permeates EVERYWHERE! Honestly, it gives me quite the headache but it's still amazing. All a bazillion calories of it!

     So Honey's! If you haven't visited your fair yet, GO! GO NOW! Get that amazing food and some Italian shaved ice just for me! Enjoy! Feast! Then diet. Diet eternally, or feast some more. Either way! Get some of that fantabulous fried foods quick! Stay tuned for more Quirky Quests for this Quizzical Gal!

The Warm, The Hot, And The Oh My!

      Do you know the difference between the warm the hot and the Oh my! Considering the fact that I live in Arizona I most definitely do, it gets hot! It feels like the surface of the sun hot, very hot! It drives me crazy, The temperature lately has been insanely bi-polar. It's 40 degrees one week and then BAM it's suddenly 90! It's insane! I've been considering to start wearing shorts, but I can bet you that the day I start is the day it'll be freezing cold. Yes, yes I can look at the weather but it's not always right, and it can say 50, but it'll feel 70. I'm going out of my mind on what to do! I am not a hat lover, nor a hair putter upper! 

     Now the worst thing about the heat down here is school! I love school, but not at noon. Today was the first day that my 5th period felt like it was located under the pit of fire! You think the school would turn on some air conditioning or something considering that my first four periods are ice cold! It's my first four periods, lunch, than fire! It's absurd! I can't tell ya'll how pale I am from just wearing pants 90% of the year! If I wear shorts, I'll blend in with the concrete and I am not into tanning! Ooooooo, Maybe I can work on my camouflage techniques! So my only advice for ya'll playing in the snow or melting in the sun is to stay beautiful and work on those tans or work on the blending techniques!

Cake Vs. Clothes?

     Today has been quite the day and this day has been filled with cake. Endless cakes. When I say endless, I mean endless Honey! Oh Goodness am I tired! I swear if you popped me in the oven, I'd bake up into a cake! I have an amazing catering even coming up on Thursday and Friday. We're catering a drama production. I believe the play is a murder 
 mystery using Disney Characters (quite interesting). 

      For the performance we (I and the rest of the staff) are preparing a type of pasta, I believe a salad with a nice dressing and of course, my lovely baked goods, cakes. Since I am the head baker I had to get started on the cakes today! Oh Goodness Honey! So I spent my afternoon making friends with a very old and LARGE mixer. Now this mixer does not love me, nor the whip I attempted to fit on it. Needless to say we had to use a hammer! So I and my mini-staff prepared 4 full sheet pans of a fantastic yellow cake (all from scratch) and a fantabulous chocolate cake (once again from scratch)! I've never had to use 9lbs of flour before, until today. I also never had to weigh out eggs cracked. I discovered that an egg without a shell is about 1.1oz. very interesting. 

      Well onward! Tomorrow I must prepare the frosting, I believe we are doing a chocolate

moose filling (These are all two layer cakes), and a vanilla whipped butter cream! I hope I don't gain weight by just being around these, I swear I could gain calories through my finger tips! I'll definitely post pictures afterwards. Once last thought Honey! If you're planning a crazy baking day, Don't wear black, and put your hair up, and don't get into a flour fight, or fall into cake batter! I learned the hard way. Well have a delicious day and stay tuned for more cute comments from this cake covered gal!

Crazy Cleaning Day?

     Now I know, the last thing most people want to do is clean, and I thought I was the same way. I grew up with a very clean house and I was always very organized but I never thought I was this clean crazy until Yesterday. So Yesterday I went over to a house and oh my goodness, was it horrid. You could see everything was dirty. The floor, bathrooms, carpet, tables, sinks, everything! It was terrible. So I pulled out the vacuum and went crazy on all the carpet, then steamed the showers (no idea why, I just always do this), swept and mopped and BAM! I mean yea, there was a few other things I did too, but let's just say when I left it was fantastic. I love cleaning and I didn't realize how bad I was about it until yesterday too. Oh Honey! Maybe I'm losin my mind, could be possible. But when I went back today I pine-sol'd all the tables and washed all the windows! Only if I could be like this with my truck! I'm completely exhausted and I crave some ice cream! So stay tuned for more tantalizing tales brought to you by the glamorous gal Ashley!

Not So Skinny Jeans?

      Recently I have discovered that skinny jeans are not so skinny anymore. For the longest time I always wore them. I bought them in all sorts of designs and colors. I bought checkered ones, multicolored ones, half black half white, half purple half black ones, plain colored ones. I've had them all! I wore them for a few years and bought them all the time. I was all over them, Then one day I awoke and just lost it. I lost my love for them and needless to say now my little brother has quite the pants collection going on. 

     I believe it hit me that I hated them when I went to Good Will one day and tried on a pair of

flared jeans. Then I fell in love. Oh glorious love. They are SO much more comfortable than skinny jeans and just amazing. One of the best things about them is that I can slip my pants over my shoes! Normally when I went somewhere to try on pants I had to take off my shoes because the skinny jeans and now I don't! Which I love considering I don't like standing on dirty surfaces on my socks! Plus Good Will has quite the variety of the flared jeans and other varieties at great prices! And for those of you who can rock the skinny pant they also have a lot of those! So hurry up and get to Good Will and try all those fantastic pants! Go for a new style Honey! Keep strutting into this Gal's blog for more information on those posh pants!
