OH HEY LOOK, IT'S MARCH

March, March, March. Didn't you come along quickly this year? It didn't even seem like February had a chance to clear it's throat when wham, bam, thank you ma'am, March is pushing it's way on stage, which is cool, 'cause who else was tired of February being all wishy washy with the weather?


Tuesday was the first day of March, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are the days that I have school. History of the British Empire since the 18th Century is first, and i absolutely love that class. It's at 10 am, which is usually horrific for me, but it's not so bad lately for some reason. Must be growing up or something.


eugh. haha


I knew that I had work on Wednesday, and I knew that I had a midterm on Thursday and I knew that I needed to stay home and study and go to bed early and... and...


Screw it. Karaoke was happening and at karaoke I would be.

Yeah, I know, these pictures are from karaoke two weeks before, but it was the same crowd, and the pictures from this tuesday are still on Sky's phone, and Sky's asleep right now, and I'm too impatient to wait for her to text me the pictures :P


These people are my friends. Lord knows why, but they are. Kidding guys... they're great. They're the only people to get me out on a night like this, driving WAY too far on a spare tire and staying out WAY too late.... and loving every minute of it. Here's a few photos, taken by the lovely Bunny, of the Tuesday karaoke crowd:

Also in attendance this week, but not the time before was...

 the beautiful and amazing Liz and Amanda!

And this, ladies and gents, is where my laziness reaches an all time high.


Ya see, when i was stalking facebook for other attendants who weren't in the group of Bunny's pics from before... I came across Sky's photos on facebook from this Tuesday. soooo... In stead of re-doing all of this, I'm just adding those to the end, and you can deal with it. muahahahaha!

I LOVE these people. Fiercely. Stupidly. Amazingly.


If anything in the world can give someone a happy, it'll be an evening with these guys, honest.


March started off the best way I could ever think of, with the best people ever. I love you guys, and you are hands down, without a doubt, most definitely my happy for Tuesday, 1, March, 2011.


Take care kids, and find your happy.

February 2011's last day

Sorry about not getting that second blog out on Tuesday, I got busy going out and being happy with Karaoke, and some damn fine friends. ...then suddenly there was this midterm test... heh.


At any rate, February sure did go out with a bang, this year... or at least a slow leak, but I'll get to that part in a minute.


Monday was kind of crazy for me, but anyone who knows me can tell you that that's just the way I like things. I hate being bored, so when life actually throws me curve balls, while at the time I might be upset or miffed, I always have the thought of "At least something  happened."


I was in Brazoria for a Doctor's appointment I had Monday morning, which was cool, since I didn't have to be at work until 2. The appointment was at 11.15. I was silly enough to think that by showing up at the doctor's office twenty minutes early, somehow, I would get in on my actual appointment time.


Oh naive youth, eh?


Doctor decided to take a lunch or something, because by the time I got on the road to Houston, and work, it was about 12.45. It takes roughly an hour to get to my side of town from there, especially now, as I have to drive the actual speed limit... Getting caught for speeding sans license would really not make me have a happy.


So, I don't have time to be able to change for work or anything, so I go in wearing blue jean shorts, a tank top with a sleeveless vest on over it, rubber flip flops, and an apology. My manager just laughed and waved it off, and work was hilarious and great that night. I don't think I've ever had so much fun working as I do with Delana. She keeps things up, we have dance breaks at random, and she tends to think I'm the funniest thing in the world, so it's easy to make her laugh, which makes me laugh, which makes the customers think we're insane.

So, my first happy for monday, is my manager Delana, and her awesome purple outfit, that instantly made me grin when I saw her.

After work,  I was exhausted. I had driven a lot, not slept a lot, and worked for 8 hours in shoes that did my feet no favor, and I was very much looking forward to going home, taking a nice hot bath, and going to sleep to be up for school tuesday morning.

Life didn't like that plan, and thought I needed to experience the day a bit longer than I had wanted to, as when I walked out of work, I came to see that my tire was completely flat. 

Balls.

So, of course, I get in my car and text about 5 people to alternately complain and/or see who could come to my rescue. After a bit of that I thought "yanno what? This could be cool..." so I got out of the car, put on my Big Girl Panties, and opened my trunk to look for the spare and the jack. 

fast forward about half an hour and I'd changed that tire all on my onesie.

I was very excited. ...I was very tired.

Kevin eventually came, but I'd finished already, so we went to Kroger to get some groceries, and I eventually got home and got to take a shower because, JEEZ does changing a tire make you dirty, haha.

Some setbacks, and not, on the whole, what one would think of as a 'perfect' day, but there was definitely some happy, and a huge feeling of accomplishment at the end of that.

So yeah, February went out with a slow leak, dancing, big girl panties, and a shower.

And that's perfectly okay with me.

Take care kids, and find your happy (:

Happy for 27 February.

I'm going to be posting two blogs today. Don't get used to it, haha, I just need to catch up to myself. :P

So the first Happy of the day is from Sunday, 27 February. I worked most of the day, which was alright because I got to sleep in (woo!) as I didn't have to go into work until 1.30. Closed at work, which included a lot of note taking, and then, after collecting a good amount of laundry, I set off for the bustling metropolis of Brazoria, Texas. For those of you who have no clue what or where that is, let me tell you, you're not missing much. ...really.


There are a few good things about Brazoria, however. 

 The town contains my parents. 
[Not my Grandma, though, :( ]

I don't claim to always get along with these people, but really, we're have a  pretty good relationship. A better relationship than a) I would have thought in my rebellious stupid teenage years, b) a lot of people my age have with their parents, and c) some people would have expected us to have.

They're epic, obviously.

I got to the house pretty late, but they were both up, waiting for me. Homemade boudin and an amazing dinner of "rice and gravy" or "pull apart meat". ...It's really only Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots, but when you've been away from home and you have a schedule that's so busy that dinners tend to be microwaved, packaged, or picked up from a window, it's amazing. And my mother's cooking is ridiculous, so even though I'd eaten a sandwich at work, I scarfed down a bowl so fast that I had to sit in a lazy boy and watch the oscars with her >.> yeah... that's the reason.

It had absolutely nothing to do with Jude law being on the screen when I walked into the room...

Mom went to bed soon after, and I stayed up doing laundry and just... being. Being in the house that I'd grown up in, petting the cats outside, sitting in my dad's chair... just being. 

And just being happy.

Take care, kids, and find your happy. <3

26 February's Happy.

If I tried to backdate this blog to recount everything that has made me happy day by day, we'd never get to the present, so I'm going to only backlog this from the moment I decided to start this thing.

It was Saturday night, 26, February. I was having dinner at 59 diner with Kevin, and it struck me.
This Frito Pie makes me happy.

So the happy for Saturday is the Frito Pie that was sitting on top of mashed potatoes and my butterfinger milkshake.

It was a very happy time, indeed. Some of you might question my food choice but, hey. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Shortly after I left the diner, I had to stop by walgreens,and there was a homeless guy out front. He said "I'll let you kick me in the head, if you can just get me $1.50." I said "I don't carry cash, but I've got some Frito Pie in my car..." I've never seen such an elated and grateful look in my life.

The Frito Pie brought many levels of happy, and thus, this blog is built on Frito Pie.

Tasty, no?

take care, kids, and find your happy.

Post the first, an explanation.

well, hello there! 

Here's some of the boring background information about me. You can act like you're interested, or just skim down to the actual blog.


My name's Adele. I'm 22 years old, and I live in Houston, Texas. I'm a student/actor/retail drone/friend/daughter/sister/girlfriend.

 I also pretend to be a model, sometimes.

Most of the time, though, I look like this:

Boring stuff, aside, there is a point to this blog, and this post, I swear.

I've got a lot of good going on in my life. I've got a house with two of my best friends, I've got a job that pays well enough, and the people who work with me are awesome. I've got an amazing boyfriend, and wonderful friends that are always there when I need them, no matter what. No lack of food, no lack of love, and, for all intents and purposes, no lack of happy.

However, as a 22 year old student, working while in school with bills to pay and this weird thing called responsibility edging it's way into my life, it's hard to realise how great my life truly is. Many stressors around me really damage my calm, and I'll be the first to say, I can get into some real mood funks from time to time.

In this blog, I'm going to post a photo and an explanation of why this photo makes me happy. Once a day, for the foreseeable future, I will catalog all the things that make me who I am and that I am thankful for.

I'd also love it if people wanted to post things in comments to my blog entries on what makes them happy, or if what is in my post makes them feel the same as I do. This isn't really show and tell, I'd like to think, more like show and share. 

Thanks for reading. Feel free to follow this and spread the word.

Take care, kids, and find your happy.

-Adele
