But why is it over?

Ok before you read any further let me say this will contain spoilers so if you have not seen the last episode and/or the last season of Trueblood STOP READING NOW! Unless you want the whole plot and moments ruined which in that case keep reading.


So with that in mind I just have a serious WTF! I'm not sure how I feel or how I am supposed to feel about the ending. Happy? Sad? Angry? Hopeful? Really all I feel is that Bill is a piece of not nice substance and his death should have been quick not the stupid drawn out rack of bull that it was. I get it he was supposed to be her one true love, and she always went back to him and people supposedly wanted them to have a happy ending. But to all those people who loved Bill, first off read the books because if that doesn't put instant hatred in your heart for him than you are delusional and second he is an awful person. All he does the entire series is lie and trick her. Not to mention that whole god thing where he basically acted like a complete douche to everyone (well maybe not Jessica) and then he just starts the next season like everything is fine and dandy and everyone should just forgive him for all the evil and cruel things he did. Sorry buster but no.


And I know maybe I am a little to invested in this show but seriously why couldn't she have ended up with Eric? He was a great guy/vampire! Sure he could be manipulative and all that but he honestly cared about Sookie in a way that Bill never did. He cared enough to be honest with her. He didn't hide that he was sometimes a manipulative asshole, he made sure she knew and told her to take it or leave it. Plus those final episodes where he is sweet enough to talk to Bill and try to change his mind so that Sookie would be happy. I mean who doesn't want a guy willing to put aside his pride and do the right thing for someone he loves and cares about?


Also, why did Alcide have to die? Why did we only get a brief glimpse into the amazingness that is Sookie and Alcide? He loved her so much and could have given her babies and future so why couldn't he survive? And on that note why did Alcide get a quick shot in the head and a brief cry and he was out of the picture while Bill got a 20 minute pout session and the most drawn out and pointless death I have ever seen?


Despite all that I still feel like most of the season was pretty pointless. I get that they wanted to wrap everything up and they didn't want to leave too many open story lines but they still could have put some excitement into the season. I will say I am glad that Jessice and Hoyt got married and realized their love and that in the end everyone was happy and married and making little babies while Eric was making lots of money but I could have done with less deaths and just more of everything else. More emotion (that didn't involved more Sookie and Bill crap, or anyone dying), more danger, more thoughts that life goes on. Although having Sarah Newlin end up as a blood whore for Pam and Eric was a stroke of genius and to that I give the writers a huge thumbs up!

Sometimes I Just Miss the Fun

Like everyone says College are some of the best (if not the best) years of your life. However most of the time I am glad to be done with them. I do not miss the tests and classes and drama that sometimes follows the fun. Plus after being out in the real world I realize that I actually end up having more free time since I don't have to worry about studying or extra curricular activities. I just get to work my 8-5, have an hour lunch and go home to enjoy whatever else I feel like doing (which is honestly usually crafting, reading and/or watching tv).

One thing I do miss, and am feeling especially jealous about, is Bid Day. That glorious day when all of the hard work and frustration that you put up with for 2 weeks is finally over. This is a day of celebration! You take lots of pictures, meet all the new members and just have a blast. Plus it also means you are finally free to go out in letters and meet up with boys and do all those things that you were either too tired or too afraid of doing for fear of breaking the rules and getting your chapter in trouble. My chapter just had their bid day last weekend and normally I spend some part of my day happily stalking recruitment pictures. Checking out the new babies and being extremely jealous over the adorable outfits the recruitment chairs choose for that week (we were forced to wear Bermuda shorts one year, lets just say that was not a good look on anyone).

Sadly I quickly discovered that I have reached the age where I am no longer friends with anyone who was an active member when I was. The last freshman class that I recruited graduated last fall. I can't even find one lonely super senior that would be able to enlighten me on how amazing my sisters did this year! Nothing has ever made me feel older than this.

But we live and we move on and although I am now demoted to hearing about how great my chapter did in recruitment from normal alumni ways (which I am quickly discovering is more about numbers and less about outfits) I can at least take solace in the fact that I am not the only person going through this and hopefully plan a visit to my Alma mater very soon! Or if all else fails trick some innocent freshman into accepting my friend request.

Just Discovered Melissa De La Cruz and Now I Am Hooked!

One of my favorite pastimes is curling up in bed with a good book and just escaping into another world. Especially if that world involves the supernatural and/or historical figures. I also really enjoy the show Witches of East End that is on Lifetime. So I was very excited to learn the Witches of East End is based on a series of books and the author is actually really amazing.

I have only read the first two books of the Witches series by Melissa De La Cruz, but I am just as hooked on them as I am on the TV show. Wanting to expand my reading scope I just finished the first book in her Blue Bloods series, and although those are more focused on a young adult audience, I still find that they are entertaining and fun to read. She has an interesting way of turning classic myths, like witches and vampires, into a whole new bread. Gone are the days when vampires are allergic to the sun and live forever in one body. Witches are no longer simply humans with a little oomph. Her mind definitely came up with and interesting twist on things and I can not wait to read more!

Warning Following this Title is a Rant!

So today is just a horrible day, actually scratch that it was a perfectly normal day with a horrible moment, I had my first fight with my boyfriend. We have been dating for over a year and have yet to fight. That's not to say that we haven't had disagreements but we have never resorted to angry words or all capitol texts or anything else. We are always able to calmly discuss our issues and figure out a way to solve the problem without resorting to screaming or other extremes. That is until today.

The worst part about this is that the fight was not about an action either one of us did it was about someone else not involved in our relationship that we are forced to tolerate. Basically one of his great friends is dating a girl no one can stand. And when I say no one that is not an exaggeration. If the girl was on fire in the middle of all of us I don't think a single guy would make the effort to pee on her. Now that is a pretty gross account of our dislike but once you meet the girl no one disagrees with that statement.

First off she is 20 in a world of 23 year olds and older. Normally that does not affect things except that she is 20 going on 15. She gets so distracted and bogged down in senseless drama that everyone else just doesn't care about and that is all she cares about. Also she's a word that rhymes with witch and begins with a capitol B! She took Mean Girls way to seriously and every comment that comes out of her mouth has to bring someone down. She wouldn't understand how to give a genuine compliment if that was her college major. Basically I don't like her but I have to put up with her because she is dating one of my boyfriend’s best friends.

You would think that all we would have to do is explain that hey we all hate her so you should stop bringing her around us, but this guy is so protective and sensitive that he would most likely end his friendship with everyone before he would end his relationship with a girl. This is bad because he really is a great fun guy and everyone loves to hang around him!

Now my boyfriend happens to live with this unfortunate fellow so Sunday night was her last night in town and they spent it at his house. If you have been watching the news you have probably heard about all the issues that have been happening in Ferguson, specifically the rioting that happened Sunday night. My boyfriend lives in that area so they were pretty close to where everything was taking place. This was while she was present in the house and began annoying the crap out of all the boys freaking out about the events, even though they live in a nice neighborhood and the riots never affected anything in their immediate area.

Monday my boyfriend and I spoke and he was complaining about the situation and her behavior so naturally I asked questions. As my mom described it when girls vent and complain we want someone to commiserate with us and ask us questions and get everything out over a long period of time, but boys have a completely different approach. They want a quick little rant and then be done. They don’t want to discuss details or go over anything in depth. So while my boyfriend was discussing the night’s events I was asking questions and collecting more information. This lead to him getting angry all over again about this girl and while he couldn’t get angry at this girl he could get angry at me.

Rude words were said, mean text messages sent and basically both of us ended up mad at each other because we couldn’t get mad at her.

Eventually we calmed down. He admitted he was wrong to yell at me when I was just asking questions and I apologized for getting mad at him and everything is fine again but my hatred and anger for this girl just continues to grow.

All I can say is that I really hope she watches her mouth the next time I am drinking around her because I can not.guarantee that all my frustration will be contained in the future.

Day 4: Cauliflower Pizza Crust is a lie!

So while perusing Pinterest I came across some recipes that were 21 Day Fix approved. I figured I would give most of them a shot. I will post some of the awesome ones later but one I need to warn everyone about is the Cauliflower Pizza Crust. This is not a replacement for pizza. Although the review looks awesome and the picture the girl posted looked amazing I have to say it was not appetizing at all!

First off there is a huge cauliflower flavor no matter what you do to the mixture. Also straining the water is a lot easier said than done. I spent at least 20 minutes pushing water from this grated and chopped cauliflower and my crust was still mushy.

Also cooking spray is a must otherwise you will never flip or get your crust off whatever surface you baked it on. I used a light spray of cooking spray on one side and some aluminum foil on the other and made two crusts thinking I would reheat one and eat it for lunch the next day. Both epically failed! I was not able to get anything resembling a pizza to unstick from the cookie sheet or foil. So I more ended up with bites that were held together by cheese and toppings with a mushy "crust" all around it.

Some people may have luck with this but I can honestly say that this is one recipe I will not be recreating. I will stick to actual pizza with real carbs and enjoy every bite of it.

Day 1 of 21 Day Fix

So I finally have everything I need to start my 21 day fix and I am super excited! I figured I would start on the first of the month that way it will be easier for me to remember what day I am on.

Getting set up everyday is probably going to be the most difficult part of this challenge, but I am excited to start. The guide book is amazing for breaking absolutely everything down and it is so nice having the containers to help me with portions. The hardest part is literally just dividing up things like spinach, strawberries, blueberries and other loose foods into the individual containers, but it is still easier measuring wise than trying it on my own.

For today's menu I am having:
Breakfast: 2 Hardboiled Eggs
Snack: Strawberries
Lunch: Romaine and Spinach, Blueberries/Pineapples, Dressing, Cottage Cheese
Snack: 12 Almonds
Dinner: Salmon, Couscous, Roast Carrots, Olive Oil
Water: 75 Oz

My container breakdown is:
3-Green
2-Purple
3-Red
2-Yellow
1-Blue

For my workout I am going to a kickboxing class at my gym. I used to do Taekwondo when I was younger and I dabbled in kickboxing in college so I will be excited to go and see what this class is like.

I may also do an at home workout but that really just depends on how much the kickboxing wears me out.

So far I am feeling great and find the program perfect for me. It is easy to follow and is really helping me to see portion sizes and how much food I should be consuming.
