Questions I'll Die Trying To Answer.chapter six.

      There was once a time when I idolized this movie.  And by idolized, I mean, I wished, I longed, I believed that I could have been cast in Kate Hudson's place.  Little does Hollywood know...their next big star resides here in the great state of Texas.  Witty, single, twenty-something?  Romantic Comedy? I  mean please, I'd call that more of an autobiographical piece.   Okay, Okay, just kidding.  I'm pretty sure that any girl under the age of thirty would agree that there is a way to parallel every song we sing, every movie we see, ...to our lives in some way.  And yes, I say parallel in hopes that I'm not the only one, although  I'm really probably pretending that my life is totally the same thoroughout the whole movie.  Songs on the other hand...I dont know how, but someone out there is shopping my life story to various artists, and they are choosing to use me and my daily encounters as inspiration for material.  Its really very flattering.  So today I was going through some of my playlists, specifically,  'Soundtrack To My Life' and 'Everyone's In Love But Me...', and it sparked my current epihany!  Well, that and an honest, eye opening, 'I am not crazy, am I?' conversation with a friend...
I AM NOT TOO PICKY . How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days...you're not helping me.  How am I supposed to lose a guy in ten days, if I can't even find one that is open to any emotional attatchment?  Anything other than a proper face to face conversation does not qualify as one on one time...a text is not the same as a phone call...and I know it is all about the chase...and you have to keep up some sort of hard exterior, but could you chase me a little to keep it even?  I
Not to mention that ten days is a freaking world record in terms of losing a guy...any mention of a possible commitment, and all bets are off.    I know your judgements are already forming...but hold off for a sec.  I will fully admit to my own commitment issues.  And although, I think I am painfully obvious in shedding light on my attraction to you...the truth is, I am not.  That half smile I just gave you...yeah, that was me telling you I am in love, oh, and I have been.  In my eyes, this past six months of texting banter...a full blown relationship;)  You feel the same way right?  So later, when I'm upset, it's because I'm really hearbroken you didnt understand that's what this was...haha.  For loving writing as I do, I am terrible at verbally expressing how I feel, so I'm just going to need you to go ahead and figure me out.  Mkay? Thanks.  I also don't think most guys are willing to put in any effort beyond that to see what could develop, and honestly I don't know that I blame them.:)   Or perhaps it's just most guys I am attracted to.  In which case, I say...lame. lame. lame.  So, Reason # 894 I am,  and continue to be very, VERY, single.  That, and probably this blog, if I am being completely honest...
much love,

And So It Is...

     I am the most un-coordinated you will find, I've known for awhile.  But today I felt the need to put it on display for oh...everyone.  Trip on my way to class.  Check.  So naturally, when I finally arrived to class late, and with all of my hair blown in front of my face thanks to this 'Are we in Chicago...no, still Texas' weather...I thought it would be a good idea to put my bag next to my chair instead of behind it as usual.  Not so my friends.  Not so.  Fast forward to a 36-slide powerpoint (that my professor decided to 'just read') later...and I stepped on it, wrapped my leg in a strap, and had one of those slow motion, there's nothing I can do now, I hate my life, this is sooooo embarrassing, hi, yes, I am falling right now, catch me?' moments.  Ugh.

Dear week, it's Tuesday.  Not Monday, Not Friday the 13th, just Tuesday.  Get with it already, okay?  So I sat there for another 45 minutes after that, probably bright red, but mostly just worried that I also stepped on my Iphone in my stupid bag.  Stupid bag? yes.  Stupid bag that broke my phone?  Not today, and thank goodness!  It has not been a good few weeks, although, I am totally still loving my rental car!  Getting in the wreck...sucked...and it was scary.  I find myself increasingly aware of stupid driver's now...almost too aware.  I kind of feel the need to write down all license plates, so when they just drive away after hitting me...I'll have them.  Not to mention that anything over 70 in the fast lane...not acceptable anymore.  I know, uncharacteristic for my race car like driving ways...but after spinning out five times, on the free way, with cars driving at me....suddenly, despite it not being my fault...its just not worth it.  Stepping off my soap box....now.
So I have the most awesome job ever!  What did I do today?
Oh...just created some life size Alice in Wonderland playing cards.  No big deal.  Mind you, I'm currently not certified, and therefore cannot be paid for this job...but who cares!  It's way too awesome to care!:)

Devin...(who is super quiet and rarely speaks) walked into class and after seeing this:

Exclaimed this: "Miss Henley you are so crative!( I'm assuming this is his version of the word 'creative')  This is just like the book...you are very efficient!"


Funny that he couldn't say the word creative right, but efficient...no worries.  LOVE it!   So, all in all...Wednesday was a good day!  I got to craft all morning...in heels though...bad idea.  But the finished product was a hit!  Let me tell you, these kids do not miss a beat, and after loving this little number, they also quickly began to notice all that was un-finished with all of my other 'playing card gaurds' that were hanging around the room.  "He doesnt have any hands or feet yet...."  "That one needs a head..."  Fun times.
     Easter weekend was awesome!  Pictures to come:)  I may be 23, but my Dad definitely sent me on a scavenger hunt through the house for clues to a huge prize!:)  There was a $1 bill in each egg!  So I went home with $10...and....wait for it.....$50 to one of my favorite stores! Super cute, super fun!  Always thinking that Dad of mine!  My favorite clue?

'When you are hungry and need something to eat, look inside this for some lunch...______'  haha, so clever too.

     What a weekend it has been.  I am exhausted, which is why I've decided to forgo all class related activities for the evening and just relax.  We had our benefit garage sale, and it was so amazing!  We raised about $2300 for our friends Dad.  Super awesome!

This is my friend Kristen...

She likes fire trucks...what can I say. ;) Love you Kk!

I fell asleep today...at 5:00 this afternoon...and if it didnt sound like my neighbors were building a spaceship in their backyard...maybe two....I probably could have called it a night.  So now I'm off to work to finish payroll for my boss...and then I plan on hanging out with my new bff Aubrey...

CUTEST. BABY. EVER.

Much Love,
