If I had to describe February in one word it would definitely be distracted.
It didn't turn out the way I had wanted and once again I let my emotions take over and make me lose sight on some goals I had this month (as you can see I didn't post any blog posts or videos this month which yes, I am kicking myself about... I'm hoping to do better for Easter/Spring). The reason being... remember how I said I was going to Texas this month to go apartment hunting? Well, it seems as though I had booked my flight one day earlier than I was suppose to and because of all the stressors going on it slipped my mind to check before the departure date like I normally would so I didn't realize I was a no show for my flight until THAT NIGHT meaning all that packing and preparing I was doing that day was for nothing. So yeah, I missed my flight, wasn't refunded the money and I had to pay a $100 penalty for cancelling my hotel reservation "too late". I was pretty disappointed with myself for a LONG time. I still kinda am but what can you do. I was suppose to spend my Valentine's Day with Bubba but since I wasn't able to get to Texas I went online shopping at home by myself instead.
In the same week my ex came and got my phone and PS4 which I didn't mind giving either things back as long as it meant he would stop trying to contact me. He was pretty much abusive our whole relationship and I'd rather not have him contact me, ever again. Though he's the type to pretend like things were all good and "be nice" as long as it benefits him. One of those people. I'd rather just stay away from all of that and him.
So yeah, that's how my optimistic February went down hill --- fast.
Let's take a look at the goals I had for February in this post.
G O A L S R E C A P
--- I did read 4 books this month \o/ I'm pretty obsessed with The Lunar Chronicles right now
--- I managed to finish a bit of products and hadn't even noticed
--- I found maybe one or two favorites this month
--- Cancelled a bit of subscription services I didn't really want/need anymore
--- Got over 550 Instagram followers.... FINALLY (I've been sitting at 550 for a year with all the following/unfollowing people do)
--- Tried 2 new restaurants; Planet Hollywood (since they revamped the menu we're calling this "new") and Paddlefish (again another revamp so we're calling it "new")
I'm seriously struggling right now to come up with goals I had achieved this month. Oh bother! Ah well, you can't fit too much into a short month anyway, I suppose.
That said I will be re-attempting to go apartment hunting some time in the following month (don't worry I'll MAKE SURE to book the RIGHT day this time), the little break away from Orlando will be nice. Spring is coming up and the weather here is reflecting that which is always nice, I love Spring and Fall in Orlando the most. Easter is one of my favorite holidays and I'm so ready to deck out as much of my apartment and room in pretty pastel colors as I can. I'm so lucky my roommate doesn't care about the crazy decorations or whatever I put up. She kinda just rolls with it. So yeah.
While I did get my Canon S90 camera back (finally) I've grown pretty attached to my Sony WX300. And I'm thinking of upgrading the Canon to a G9 instead.
Yesterday Nick and I went to run some errands... though I don't remember --- oh! Hair dye and Sprint lol. It was getting pretty crowded so going to the mall was out of the question (even if Macy's had 300 walk-in kicks and various other stores had 200). We headed over to the movie theater to see if anything was playing --- aka --- if Star Wars was done being sold out.
Speaking of...
Then came home and ended my night with a box of my favorite salted caramels in the world.
Happy graduation to me!
Now to wait a whole year for the next movie.
[ was not anticipating for this to happen today ]
Can we just take a moment to look at how much the price of the movie ticket is?
For someone who's lived on Disney property for the last two years I am amazed.
The theater was kinda half empty the whole time. I guess a lot more people than I thought saw it on opening day.
The movie was amazing. Even though I hadn't watched 1, 2 or 3 beforehand. Or ever really. Which you don't really need to in order to follow what's going on. In fact if you've never watched Star Wars before, period I think you'd be fine jumping into this.
There is a cast of all brand new characters that continue on from where the first Star Wars movies left off. But like I said, you'd still be okay if you've never seen them. They embark on new journey's and they dabble into a bit of the history of Star Wars so they catch you up.
But for those of us who are well aware of the basis of the story, there are A LOT of surprises that made me almost burst into tears. Well one scene did and I felt like such a baby for it cause it was so random lol! There are twists and turns for both new viewers and old which I really liked!
Somewhere during the movie I had one of those fairy tale moments where you realize you'd marry and protect the person you're with. The fact that Nick totally supports my love for Star Wars and StormTroopers, Macarons (a new Macaron place opened up across from the theater), and a bunch of other things is really a sweet gesture. And I guess it shows how many messed up people I've dated if I don't think the nice things he's doing for me is normal. But he's always taking care of me and trying to do things he know will cheer me up.
Also, I feel bad for dissing the new droid and not giving him a chance prior to this movie and also the Troopers (sorry baes). The new droid is actually really freakin adorable he doesn't remind me at all of R2, he stands alone as his own type of droid. And the new Troopers, I didn't even noticed they had Donald Duck heads while watching the movie but omgosh you see SO many of them. I think that's what excited me the most --- ALL THE TROOPERS.
Speaking of...
They had this guy walking around outside the theater with an escort. There was only one of him but I thought it was pretty festive and awesome they had him there. People did the classic Trooper picture pose with him. I never know what pictures to take with the Troopers since I get so dreamy eyed and star struck. They're not into the idea of selfies either.
Then came home and ended my night with a box of my favorite salted caramels in the world.
Happy graduation to me!
Now to wait a whole year for the next movie.
