Learn. Love. Be Amazed.

My boyfriend and our neighbor are rocking out to rock band. Not the game, mind you. A real rock band.

… Makes Ashley a very, very, very tired girl. The no play isn’t entirely true, as noted by my last post. I got a night out with my girls. A much needed night out, might I add. We drank, we played cornhole, we danced, and we even sang. After all that partying I came home and went straight to bed only to be awoken the next morning at 8AM to go get my boyfriends car. I was not in the mood to be awake, but reality had to step back in. I felt fine all day, but work dragged on and on and on (x2000). Today/tonight should be much better. There are some great people working tonight so I know our job will not only be done properly, but in a fun and (hopefully) stress free way.

If I could, though, I would eat the rest of these yummy donuts and lay down and do nothing all day.

Andi, Rob, Tim, and me

1. I am really, really, really short compared to my boyfriend and my friends.
2. We all look really stoic and creepy; much like old Civil War photos.

Who, might I add, ain’t so little anymore. My younger brother (that’s a little more appropriate since he towers over me), as I mentioned posts ago, has joined the MARINES. I’m beyond proud of him and I’m in awe that he is so much more brave than I was at his age and I’ll ever be. He’s my little hero and I know he’ll make this country proud, no matter where he goes.

I finally got around to adding the pictures from my digital camera to my computer and I wanted to share with the world wide web and all my new blogging buddies how awesome (and handsom, single ladies) Ryan is. Give him some props and some words of encouragement, I know he’d like to read them.

He’ll be embarrassed I posted these pictures, and even more mad that I’m bragging about him constantly — But, he deserves it. I love him to pieces.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

My obsessions run far and wide. My first obsession were the Olsen Twins. I bought every movie they made, read every magazine they were in. Hell, I even bought their perfume and make-up. Is it bad that I even applied to the University of Dayton because I heard a “rumor” that they applied there too? (ps, why would the Olsen twins go to college in Ohio anyways?)

I still love them, and I even got offended years ago when people would bash Mary Kate. I don’t know why I like them so much, I just think they are one of those celebrity crushes. I think they are… Well, awesome. I saw New York Minute three times in the movie theather, too. Laugh at me, I know you want to.

My question to you is… What was your first obsession?

I’ve been cleaning all day, posting why it sucks to be an adult, and while I was doing that a song came on. It was up-lifting and put me in a much better mood.

End of the Line by The Traveling Wilburys

Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, doing the best you can
Well its all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

(chorus 2)
Well its all right, even if they say youre wrong
Well its all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well its all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well its all right, everyday is judgement day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
Youll think of me, and wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

(chorus 3)
Well its all right, even when push comes to shove
Well its all right, if you got someone to love
Well its all right, everythingll work out fine
Well its all right, were going to the end of the line

Dont have to be ashamed of the car I drive
Im just glad to be here, happy to be alive
It dont matter if youre by my side
Im satisfied

(chorus 4)
Well its all right, even if youre old and grey
Well its all right, you still got something to say
Well its all right, remember to live and let live
Well its all right, the best you can do is forgive

(chorus 5)
Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, even if the sun dont shine
Well its all right, were going to the end of the line
