Topic Tuesday: Angie’s List.

by

Hi, hello, welcome to Tuesday!

So my friends mom Angie and I were talking about how my blog post to make Mondays great was effective, WINNING. But then she talked about how the other days of the week still suck.
Well, I concur.
But through trial and error I have found a list of ways that you can make all of your days as magical as the weekends and it only takes one or two a day.

Drum roll please….

Angie’s List:
•Shower. There is nothing hot water and scented soap can’t fix. And someone that smells good is someone that feels good. Isn’t cleanliness next to godliness?
•Listen to Party in the U.S.A. at least three times. Self. Explanatory. Seriously… Just move your hips like yea, Miley is.
•Get Starbucks. Starbucks is the cure for all things. Break ups, bad days, and exhaustion.
•Shave your legs. This kind of goes with showering, but there’s something about shaving your legs that makes you feel like the Empress of some obscure country. You feel?
•Eat. Good. Food. I’m not saying eat your feelings, but treating yourself to your favorite food is never a bad idea in my opinion.
•Turn off your phone for an hour. ONE HOUR. Or put it on airplane mode and play solitaire. Just tune out the other humans in cell phone land, they can wait.
•Wear your favorite pair of underwear. Don’t question, just do.
•Do your hair. Everyone is having a good day when they’re looking attractive. (Especially the people around you, just saying.)
•Wear your favorite perfume. Seriously. We all just get along better when we smell nice.
AND FINALLY
•Be awesome. Just radiate awesome. Be the poster child for awesome. Be the epitome of awesome. Speak awesome. Walk awesome. Laugh awesome. Chew awesome. Breathe awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Drive awesome. (NOT LIKE ME, I’m not an awesome driver.) You should probably paint your finger nails awesome. Sleep awesome. Believe you’re awesome. Everybody loves an awesome person. (Everyone besides NOT awesome people, they sadly bask in the awesome drinkin’ they haterade.)

AND THAT IS ANGIE’S LIST TO THE PERFECT DAY.

I suggest we all try.

XOXO
Awesome Nealie

P.S. I love you Maggie, if you read this say purple.(:

For Real Friday: Alopecia

by

Hey guys, I recently shaved the side of my head. No, I don’t care what opinion you have about it, or anyone else’s.

But I guess I should tell you all WHY.

A few months back Maggie’s little sister with Alopecia told me all about how she might want extensions or a wig one day. But my little girl is beautiful with or without hair. So I figured out the best way to make that sit right with me was to shave a part of my head too.

That part of my head is just as beautiful as the rest without long hair.

To answer your questions, no I don’t think it’s ugly. No I don’t mind if you don’t like it. No I don’t regret this choice.

I love everything about it, and I like when people ask so I can tell them my little sisters story. ❤

Media Monday: The Reality of Tornado Alley.

by

Hello my fellow tornado fearing, tornado alley enthusiasts.

Today’s media Monday will be laid out for you plain and simple:

Living in tornado alley in tornado season sucks. It’s all over every news station and I’m just so crazy overwhelmed with it I can’t look up the facts straight.

The towns of Cleburne, and Moore are the most talked about in the past two severe weather scares in the area. One of my sweet family friends has had her house completely destroyed and I can’t tell you how much my heart hurts for her. And the poor kids in Moore that passed away… This is just. So. Heavy.

Count all of your blessings be it having all ten toes or lovely people around you.

Hold on till Friday.

XOXO

Title = Unrelated.
Time for quote of the week.
Insert drum roll here.

“Fridays are bad ass, and Saturdays are even better.” -P.A. Sanchez

Chin up on Monday and remember to survive the week. The goal is to keep inhaling oxygen and making carbon dioxide. Maybe smile a few times too.

Summer 2013 is almost here. Lets do this.
XOXO
Still pasty Nealie.

Seven Wonders of the World.

by

Topic Tuesday here we go.

Seven wonders of the world:

7: Pants. Why. They are so hard to put on and take off and they are generally not the most comfortable. Also they’re pretty much required in society. I can’t just walk out my door without pants on. That peeves me.

6: Hair dye, Colored contacts, and Extensions. As if identity theft wasn’t already a problem. This and plastic surgery could easily end someone. Being fake is the new real after all. GUILTY.

5: Motorcycles. Because the car was just too safe for men that enjoy leather and growing beards. And it’s much easier to paint flames on a motorcycle than a car. Smaller surface area is key and sizing down a car was proved to be idiotic. Cough Smart Car Cough.

4: Baking soda. You can use that for literally anything. Shampoo. Toothpaste. Laundry. Odor problems.

3: Cell phones. Because it’s easier to yell at someone over the phone. And because your parents sometimes just can’t get ahold of you calling every land line number they know. And generally for the good old fashioned games of fruit ninja along with the unofficial news cast of every sad saps life, Facebook. Also because telemarketers prefer the direct approach nowadays.

2: Pitch Perfect. Because we were all afraid to make lesbian jokes due to the fact that they might seem too offensive, don’t worry, Fat Patricia has you covered. And also because we missed the N’ Sync boy band feel that the Treble Makers bring back. But seriously, thank God we still have Justin.

1: The I-Pod. It would behoove you all to invest in one. Basically all of your best and worst memories in one electronic stick in a rainbow of colors.

Thanks for letting me waste a few minutes of your time. Hope you all see how true this is. Maggie says what up.

XOXO

My flakejsbbshwlsvejekskbdbe Monday.

by

These letters are unspoken curse words I cannot say. My mom taught me that as a way to curse at others without getting told on. No one can say “Nealie called me a hsvdbehbej!” Reason being I’m not even sure what I called you and no I cannot replicate that word. So… What up.

Welcome to my hahahdbeisne Monday.

Last night I went to be around 7:30 p.m. and my sweet mom didn’t want to wake me up so she let me sleep. That was so nice, but…. I didn’t get to set my alarm.

So this morning I woke up at 9:30.
Showed up late to school.
Forgot my Algebra 2 Pre Cal assignment.
Bombed that quiz.
Realized I forgot my work out clothes for 8th. I’m so getting yelled at for that.
Walked in to my 6th period and got a nice little hello from Mother Nature!
Went to take care of that and dropped my important papers in the toilet….

I’ll try again tomorrow.
Keep on truckin’

Maggie’s says… Something?

XOXO
A VICTIM OF MONDAY, Nealie.

Reconstructing Yourself.

by

I have the worst self image in the world.
Not because I think I’m ugly, or stupid.
But because I’m constantly told what a terrible person I am, what an “ass hole” I am, that I never get along with anyone, that I’m rude. And I could try working on that forever. I’m generally pretty good at it. Plenty of people find me pleasant to be around.
But people I already know refuse to stop seeing me that way, I know it’s quote of the week day and the show will go on. But I’m at my limit.
I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m nothing but an angry terrible person, and can we all just move on from that please?

XOXO

My Mutt Life and My Godmother.

by

Hello my name is Nealie and I’m a halfie, or a “mutt”. I love being Mexican American because there is nothing like Texan family love and Mexican family values. Not to mention the fact that I have my own army if anyone ever bothers me. The Sanchez clan is pretty tight knit when we’re all together and there are just sooooo many of us.

Today I want to talk about the strongest member of mí famillia, my Godmother, Vicki. My aunt V has been battling cancer for over a year. And as her niece, goddaughter, supporter, and family I try my best to find the words that instill a surfeit of hope in her. I’d like to say I’m not too shabby at it! (I mean I’m pretty okay with words. You’re still reading them anyways so I can’t be half bad.) V emails the whole family updates on how she’s feeling and what she’s been up to and every time I get an email I breathe a little easier.
This is where it’s nice to have your own Mexican army family. Aunt V has every single one of us to support her. And that is something special that some people don’t get to have.
But lately V isn’t feeling so good, things are going a little down hill for her. This breaks my heart in more ways then I could tell you because I love my V to pieces and back together again. But then at the end of her email she types out these happy little parting words.

Why yes, she is the strongest lady alive, I know you were all wondering. So before you think you will never be able to continue on, no matter what your situation, remember that at the end there will be your Disneyland.

XOXO
“Mutt” Nealie
