Netflix: Current Faves and To-Be Watched

I feel like I jumped on the Netflix bandwagon a decade after it became a thing. Literally I think I just got it three months ago. Crazy right? ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY NOT HAVE NETFLIX! HA.. pretty much. I couldn't even tell you a reason why I opposed getting it. I think it was more of a lazy thing. I mean I could count on one hand the amount of hours I watch TV a week. But the reason I ended up getting it, was mainly for the TV shows. Which I feel that Hulu would be a pretty match for my needs, but whatever. Ever since I got it I have found so many shows I missed out on, on TV, that I get to finally watch. I have to pace myself. I don't want to be watching 20 shows at once....confusing!!! 

This is a small list of shows I am currently watching, some I may just be a couple episodes into but these are the ones I want to watch entirely before I jump into new ones!

1. House

This and forever will be my #1 favorite TV show. It's the most intriguing, witty, educational show I know. I always watched it on TV so I never got to see it new episode by episode. That's why I'm watching them start to finish online. The show is about a antisocial doctor who specializes in diagnostic medicine who does whatever it takes to solves puzzles of patients' symptoms. Everything is a game for him and he pulls everyone into his game, like it or not. 

2. Lie To Me

It's such a sad story that FOX would cancel one of the most intelligent shows that has been around in a very long time. Tim Roth is one of my favorite actors and he plays the part in this series perfectly. This show ended in 2010 with only 3 series, but it's still one of the best intellectual series you will see. The show is about a man who is a lie deception expert who runs his own firm alongside his partner in crime. Together they help solve crimes and mysteries through detecting the lies and truth of the people involved. You will be hooked, I promise you that.

What's on my book list? #1

Okie guys, I'm going to start a new segment on my blog! I wanted to start this a week ago but I had zero time. Now that I have time, I'm so excited to start this segment. 

So when I first moved here I found out they had a public library, and a pretty big one at that. So Jesse and I went and got a card. I was so thrilled to finally have a library card. Now I love reading, but I'm the laziest person at picking out books. I'm the type to pick a book based on what the spine looks like. I mean it is the only thing I see. I'm not about to take every book out of the shelf and read about it. That would take entirely too long and no one has time for that. When I got my card and was let loose in what seemed like one hundred aisles of books, I started going up and down the aisles. Yet I wasn't finding anything. I wanted to find interesting things, but I didn't want to pull out every book in the meantime. That's when I got an idea for this segment. I thought that I couldn't be the only person who has this problem. Really wants to read but doesn't know what to read. 

This segment will include books that I have checked out at the library. I will post them up here and give a paragraph about the book and a thumbs up or down on what I thought about it. This will be nice because it will give others ideas on what to check out; whether its the exact book, by the author or just the idea of another kind of book. I doubt I will completely read every single book that I check out but I will give my best on what I think about it. I may just post it for others to see who may find it interesting themselves. With all this said, let see this weeks books!! 

Since I had to wait so long to do this I forgot to take photos and I had to turn them in, I'm using internet photos. 

Southern Living Slow-cooker Quick Fixes

This book is two thumbs up. I mean who doesn't love just dumping stuff in a slow-cooker and watching the Wheel of Fortune? I do. I'm sure you do too, which is why you need this book in your life. I plan on purchasing this book; excited to expand my cookbook collection. This book all different kinds of quick fixes from meaty suppers, meatless mains, soups and stews to slow- cooker savvy meals. Something for everyone. 

Quesadillas

If you love quesadillas, go out and buy this book right now. Seriously. This book has the simplest, most delicious looking recipes for quesadillas. Recipes I didn't even know that could be in a quesadilla. Chicken Caesar Salad Quesadilla anyone? Carne Asada? Caramel Apple? Those sound absolutely amazing to me! 

Private Collection

If you are secretly still a teenage girl like I am and love drama, you will love these books. I have read the first two so far. I read it years ago and now just started it all over again. It's about a small town plain jane girl, Reed, who gets to go to the most pristine "boarding" school. Only the best of the best and the richest people go to the school. Reed got to go on a scholarship. Once there she realizes there is a lot of secrets, drama, and so much more than she bargained for in this elite school. This series has you hooked from the first page and I promise you will not be able to put it down. 

Your Man is Wonderful

Now I didn't get to read this book unfortunately. I really wanted to. I'm going to have to check it out again. So I couldn't tell you from personal experience if it is good or not, but I did read reviews. It got 3.5 stars and all reviews I did see were good. This book is (like the cover says) about how to appreciate your man, respecting the differences between you too and loving each other. I feel that sometimes Jesse and I take tough love to an extreme. I love it but I wish I could make it a tad softing (ha) so I picked up this book on what seemed like great insight on how to tweak those areas. When I get to read it again I will tell you more in depth on what I thought. 

Well, I hope you like this new segment! Tell me what you think! Should I keep doing it, is it lame? I want y'alls feedback! Give me some ideas for books to check out! Or simply, let's just talk!

Sunday Some Things #3

This week has been exhausting. Starting my new job, taking care of the house, and my fiance is sick so I have been taking care of him too. This has been a long weekend. I wish I could have got this weeks things up a lot sooner but that didn't happen. Because it was such a hectic weekend this week is going to be a shorter list, but that's okay because the things on it are really awesome!! 

*sorry horrible quality*

First off is this book by Donna Kelly. This book is over 200 pages of different Quesadilla recipes. I, myself want to try at least half of them. They all are so amazing, and they favor to every different type of person. This is a must have in your cookbook collection.

These fun little decorative sugar skulls. They are cool, no?

I have really been wanting to starting doing yoga. I saw this book and it seems to be a great way to get started on yoga and all the little how-to's about it.

New Job!!!

Just a quick post updating you on my life. 

I started my job yesterday!!! 

After moving to San Marcos a month and a half ago with Jesse and not having a job has really been a setback for us. After applying for at least 100 jobs and only getting 3 interviews, one finally called me back and offered me a position. Which just so happens to be the one I wanted the most. Today I started a position at an elementary school working at a childcare provider for the preschool classroom. I will be working with 2-5 year old. I am so blessed to have this opportunity to nurture and teach these young children. I thank my fiance so much for being my rock through all this and not letting me feel down about not being able to pull my weight for the time being. 

So I had orientation at 7:45 in the morning. That part was so boring and truth be told, when she started talking about insurance, I had no earthly idea what she was talking about. Which is a bad thing, I should know this type of stuff. Since I didn't I just nodded the entire time. Oops.

So afterwards I went to the actual school where I will work. When I got there the kids were already laying down for a nap. They take a 3 hour nap and in the meantime all the teachers (5 of us) just sat around and played on our phones and talked. It was pretty fun!

Today was one of the girls birthday, so when everyone woke up, we all had cupcakes! That was fun!
Then they just played until time to go! I sat down with some of them at a time and played with them.

I seriously love this job already!! It's so fun getting to play around with little ones all day and teaching them. I can honestly say I won't get tired of this job! I know it doesn't make much money but I don't care. It brings me so much joy and I feel I can make a huge difference in their lives!!

Well I have to get dressed for work! Hope you guys have a great day!

OH! If anyone knows any websites/blogs with information about being a childcare provider or activities to do, or just anything, let me know!! :)

Chuys Creamy Jalapeno Dip

*Some of these photo's are blurry. The camera was having focusing problems while we were making the dip. Because I wanted to get this post out I was too impatient to try another time* 

Calling all Chuy's lovers!!

If you are like me, and you love Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno dip, Jesse and I have made a dip that tastes nearly the same. It's cheaper, and it makes a lot more than you can buy at the store. Plus you make it whenever you want. Where I live the nearest location is about 45 minutes away so it's nice knowing I can make a pretty decent copy cat of it right at home! 

Around the House ~ 2/03

So we finally are moved in and just about settled in. Jesse has started school so he is busy doing homework, and I on the other hand, well I haven't started my job yet. I've just been sleeping the day away and been with my lovely Bevo. As you may know money can be tight when you first move into a new place, which is why I haven't used my time wiser. The other fact that it's just too dang cold to do anything adds to that. 

A Little Slice of Home

If you have even been to Austin, and you are a pizza lover.. which I am sure 90% of the world is... this is one place you just have to check out. 

Honestly, I am not the biggest pizza lover, unlike my fiance, but I could eat at this place every single day. Rated 4.5 starts out of 5 on Google. I'd like to know why it isn't 5 stars actually! 

Home Slice Pizza is the name. I give it 10 out of 10 any day. 

Holidays and Moving

Okay so finally I can get some photos up from the past few months. Dang I swear these past two months have been so hectic and hopefully they are finally settling down and getting back to normal, but better because now I am moved away and engaged. Ah, life is so perfect right now! Anywho, so back in December Jesse and I took a quick trip to Austin for a friend's wedding. It was so beautiful and I'm so happy for her to finally marry the man of her dreams! It's so awesome seeing high school sweethearts get married. Jeez I love weddings. Such a beautiful beautiful thing to witness. So before the wedding we stopped at the park and took a few silly photos.

The waiting game..

I said I would put my photos online last Saturday and of course things come up! I got the card reader but then our internet messed up. It finally got fixed on Tuesday, when my fiance started college so he had to take the computer to school.

Happy New Years from me to you!!

WOW! HAPPY NEW YEARS!! (15 days late)

I cannot believe it is 2015 already! The holidays went by so incredibly fast! I haven't posted on here in nearly two months. I don't like that at all!

Thanksgiving Traditions

hey it's been a minute! 

I hope you all have been having a great November so far! There is always something about November, that right after Halloween you automatically feel so festive and wintery (I don't even know if that's a real word haha). Although you really should be having those feelings into after Thanksgiving, here is Texas we dream about the days when it finally gets cold. Which is usually the end of December. -_____- 

ASMR

Okay, so I may be the last person on earth to know about this but whatever I'm going to share it anyways. I was on Youtube last night and I came across this and thought it was the most amazing thing. So of course I wanted to share it with y'all!! 

Halloweenie fun and more

Hallooo,

So I told you I would post more ideas for Halloween and I'm sorry that I couldn't get it done. Some things came up and what not but ANYWAYS, whats done is done and now I'll show you my costume. :)

Halloween ideas continued: late night sleepies

Hello you guys! 

Hope you all enjoyed my last post about Halloween face makeup! Hopefully it gave you something to do or at least gave you an idea! 

I was going to post later yesterday about costume ideas but when I got home I just passed out. I was beyond exhausted. For that I do apologize lol. I'll try to get something up today, for y'all! But if not please make sure you read my last post! If anything I might just post links to other pages of costume ideas, if that's all I can get in, but I'm going to try really hard to get something in!! 

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Social Networks and Upcoming things..

Hope everyone has had a great weekend! I know I did. Even though it was only three days it seemed a lot longer than it was.

Moving away

So this is going to be a long post, so fair warning. :) 


So as a few may know, I am moving to San Marcos, TX in January 2015 with my boyfriend. 

I am pretty excited to move. Excited to get out of east Texas. To be with my boyfriend "starting our own lives". To be independent and learn how to live as an adult. 

My boyfriend, his younger brother, and I visited San Marcos this past weekend because my boyfriend had Bobcat Day at Texas State. The school was amazing. It was so huge I feel you could totally get lost in it. We got to visit a couple sessions about different degrees we all were interested in. First we went into the art and design session. I learned a lot about journalism and mass communication which seems like an amazing, challenging career. And of course my boyfriend went there because of communication design. It made him so pumped up about going to this school because TXST has one of the best communication design programs in the nation. Most people who graduate from there get first hand amazing jobs at top notch art director positions. He is sooo excited about that. Since I've been with him graphic design is all he breathes, eats, and sleeps. He dreams about being a well known art director. So it was very very heartwarming knowing he'll get the best education he can and have an exceptionally bright future. 

Then we went to the business session for my boyfriends brother. He is looking into going to a CIS (Computer Information System) degree. I also learned about a degree in Accounting. Then finally we went to the Teacher Preparation session. I learned all their is to know about becoming a teacher. 

Basically if I decided to teach high school the first two years I would be perusing whichever subject I would like to teach and then the last two years I would be doing the teacher prep classes. If I wanted to do Elementary or Middle school grade (which is what I am leaning more towards) then I would take 4 years of Disciplinary and teacher prep.

A little bit about me.

So I feel like I should introduce myself first before anything. Mainly for the purpose of people who don't know me. I'm hoping this blog will lead into something bigger one day. So let's get started!

Well I guess I could start with me first. I'm 22, I live in east Texas. A born and raised Texan. And even though I love traveling, I don't think I could call my home anywhere else. At least right now. There is still so much I haven't seen. 

I have my cosmetology license. For almost two years now. Although I am not doing anything with my license right now, my first love will always be hair/makeup/skin. I do love it more for as a leisure. 

I'm still really young and I guess I haven't found the thing I could see myself doing for a really long time. I'm the type of person that I like to do a little bit of everything honestly. Everything fascinates me. But I do have it narrowed down to about three things: Teacher (elementary or high school), surgical technician, or anything to do with math. 

It is very hard deciding which path to go with. The dreadful taking classes and then halfway through (or even worse after I graduated) thinking nevermind I don't really like this. Maybe that's why I am hesitant about making such a life changing decision. But it does help knowing I'm totally not alone in this process. 

But enough about that. Here are some quick facts about me. 

• I am weird. Plain and simple. and I LOVE that about me. 
• I can be an angel one minute and a devil the next. (not proud, total working progress)
• I love meeting new people, new places, and new things. As straight forward as that is. There is nothing I won't turn down that's new to me. 
• I can be pretty OCD, and I have social anxiety at times (alot)
• I'm pretty much horrible at describing myself

So here is my dog. 

I got him in May from a lady who was moving and couldn't keep him. She was a client of mine one day. I felt like the heavens were all aligned properly that day. I have always wanted a Yorkshire Terrier, and with the right price he was miiiine. Ever since then he has been absolutely perfect (despite some bathroom messes). Although he can be a very stubborn dog, he is so sweet and so energetic. OH, and I almost forgot, his name is BEVO! I mean how cool is that!! Named after the Texas Longhorns. The most perfect name for a dog. 

Next is my Partner in crime,  

*From 2012*

Jesse Rocha. He is my better half..sometimes. Sometimes I'm better ahaha. In September was our 3rd year anniversary. Our relationship has been the biggest roller coaster of my entire life, but it's been the most fun. I've learned how to be patient, to be angry for good reasons. I've learned I do have motherly instincts. I've learned to love unconditionally. Most importantly I have learned that there is no such thing as perfection, but love at first site is completely real. 

In just two and a half short months we will be moving to San Marcos, TX. He will be attending Texas State University to get his Bachelor's in Visual Communication (Graphic Design). I couldn't be more proud of him. 

I'm pretty excited that I finally get to place house. To have a place all to ourselves. To run around in our underwear and not worry about anything (totally not kidding). I get to cook and clean and take care of my man. Has a nice ring to it. 

But it's not going to be all fun and games. Neither of us have lived alone before and we have 0% idea of how to do it. It'll be like jumping into a pool without knowing how to swim. Hopefully our instincts will kick in. But none the less, it will be life changing, and I couldn't be more happier. 

Well that's just the top layer about me. There is so much more to learn, but we will save that for another rainy day. Toodle-ooo!
