I love my cat....I really do...but OMG WHYYYY does she shed so much??
I have tried several techniques to help control it [[i.e. 5 different brushes...a bath (Chloe wasn't having that), lint rollers (which I discovered today that my co-worker tried that as well)] but I think I finally found the perfect brush! SHEDZILLA! (I love the name lol).
I only paid 10 bucks for it, I think it costs a lot more in some stores.
I'm pretty sure my cat dropped a pound or 2 when I was done. Though she doesn't ever tolerate being brushed for long.
Hopefully I can get through the summer without drowning in fur :o)

look at all of that fur that will end up on me...

ewww!!
I'm sure this post makes me seem like a crazy cat lady...but I can't believe how much fur came out! *lol*
{1} What is the best or worst pick up line you have ever been given?
Oh dear.Well, this really isn’t a pick up line, but it is sort of a funny story. There was this one guy who was the "cute-silent type."Ya know…he gave off that “mysterious vibe. “*lol* Well my roommates and I frequented his fraternities’ parties and I never had a conversation with him in my life.One Sunday afternoon I got on facebook and had a message...and it was a message from that guy! It said something along the lines of:
“Hey, you seem like a really cool girl.We should hang out sometime, maybe watch a movie? Hit me up (provided cell number). “
I didn’t respond to that message right away because I thought it was kind of weird.
Anywho…my roommates and I all ventured out to the living room and recapped our night.One of the girls came out of her room and was like “OH MY GOD, GUESS WHO MESSAGED ME??”She read the message that I got...word for word!!She sort of started freaking out and was saying “oh my God, should I call? How long should I wait?”I had to burst her bubble.Later, we discovered another one of our other sorority sisters got a message from that guy too.
Seriously? Did this guy miss the memo that we are all in the same sorority?So we all decided to respond at the exact same time with the exact same message.I think he realized he was caught!
{2} What is your most and least favorite day of the week?
Sundays are my least, Especially the evenings.They are just so depressing. I think they will be better when my boyfriend and I live together (at least in the same city), but right now they are just boring and sad. I like Thursdays the most (especially the ones that I get paid!)
{3} How many hours of sleep do you require each night?
I like to get 8.I can function on 5 or 6 but I really try to get in 8 hours.
{4} Is there a song that takes you back in time? What song is it & what's the memory attached?
Backstreet Boys (We’ve Got it Goin’ On)
I used to have the BIGGEST CRUSH on Brian Littrel.I didn’t get into Nick Carter until the “I Want It That Way” video (Oh yeah--- TRL baby!!) I rushed home to watch that show every day.I’m so glad I was a part of the boy band era.TEAM BACKSTREET BOYS! N’sync was overrated, in my opinion *lol*
How funny are Nick’s facial expressions in this video? He got it together eventually.I used to not like Kevin (I thought he was soooo old *lol*) but now? H-O-T!! :o) This song really brings my back to my care free summers when I was middle school age. I didn't have any worries...I would just listen to my CD's, hang out with friends, read teeny-bopper magazines, and was very care free.
{5} What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
Reality TV…My faves:
Bridezilla’s
Real Housewives on Bravo (but not Miami or DC)
Flipping Out (Bravo) His maid makes me laugh! Love her!
The Bachelor
America’s Next Top Model
Maury (I know it’s not reality…but it make sick days from work AWESOME!!!)
Jersey Shore
I also miss Rock of Love, Daisy of Love, and Flavor of Love.
Another guilty pleasure... Selena Gomez songs.Not ashamed.
The other day when I came home from work I snapped this pic...
Well today...he was back! I came home from a lovely day of shopping...I had a very unpleasant encounter with the gorilla bee!
"What is a gorilla bee?" You might ask.
Well basically, it's a bumblebee on steroids! This one has obviously made himself at home on the stairway to my apartment.
I was talking to my friend Lauren on the phone during this 2nd encounter. As I was approaching the stairway I hear this deep "bzzzzzzzz...." It sounded like a B-52 or a lawnmower.
My first plan off attack was to try to spray him with windshield de-icer from my car. The sprayer was broke!
FAIL.
So I waited.
Finally he flew away and I ran up the stairs to the safety of my apartment. *phew.*
I checked wikipedia and decided that the correct term for this beast is a "carpenter bee." There is a little spot forming on the stairs as if he's trying make a nest. Cool.
I'm sure this isn't the last I'll see of the gorilla bee.
My car has given me so many problems lately! Recently...my roters needed replaced (among other scheduled maintenance). I expected to sit in the waiting room for 2 hours until it was done, but they actually loaned me a Prius. I absolutely LOVED this car and I had so much fun driving it! It was super quiet, you couldn't even tell if it was on. I also loved that it gets approximately 50 mpg. I considered driving far, far away and not turning back. I didn't want to go back for my car (or pay the bill!).
Unfortunately, I really need to make my car last a while longer, but I might look into a hybrid down the road.
Oh hi...here I am in my new Prius lol
Oh well...back to driving my boring old car. (womp womp womp...) but at least I have working brakes!
Not sure what to say today, all I know is it's a hot one in Ohio, and I saw so many people with their windows down! Unless your A/C is broken, why put yourself through that misery!? *lol* {I am very pro A/C.}
FUN FACT: Driving with the windows down can actually waste your gas! Having them down at faster speeds can increase the drag and make your car work harder and burn gas faster. Read more about it here .
The choice is yours...either way, stay cool out there!
I am definitely in the mood for a new workout wardrobe. I know many people are fine with just working out in an old t-shirt and shorts, but in my opinion, if you love your work out clothes you are more motivated to hit the gym. My favorite store to shop for work out clothes is Dick's Sporting Goods.
(Beware of what you type in the search bar...seriously!!)
So here is my current wish list:
I'm not a fan of wearing shorts to the gym...but how cute are these!? (I love animal print!)
Soffe Women's Printed Team Shorty Shorts
I love this color and it seems sooo comfy and breathable! I prefer this kind of tank over racerback.
Reebok Women's Core Sleeveless Tee
I don't do shorts at the gym....but I like capris! All of my workout pants are long...so I NEED these!
Nike Women's Dri-FIT Be Strong Cotton Capri
I already have one like this in grey and it's my favorite work out shirt! It's also a decent price for this brand!
