The Bachelorette

Hello darlings!

Did everyone watch The Bachelorette last night!? I know that EVERYONE is talking about it in the blog-sphere, so I figured I mine as well put my input in as well :)

I am so nervous for Emily to tell you the truth, she really is so serious about finding love..and her odds aren't too good seeing that only like 3 of the couples who got engaged on the show are still together today.

But I will be hopeful! I just wish they had a better group of guys, here's just a few of the "odd balls"

Bless her heart, but even though their are some guys that are a tad strange, I hope she can find someone! I have never seen such random enterances, but I guess love makes you do crazy things!? 

I was rooting for Doug as soon as he said he had a son back home... I think they kinda clicked, then he gets a first impression rose, so I am definitely rooting for him!

'

Who are you hoping goes home with the final rose?!

Have a great weekend everyone!

My Luck with Amazon

It's finally Friday!! 

I have already worked, ran the bridge and ran unexpected errands today.

My errands had me so stressed that I went for a long much needed run over the bridge downtown.

Let me fill you in on my day so far.

 Starting with some back ground info I went to sell my books back at the University and they didn't take any of them because EVERY class is using a new edition, but the nice lady told me I could donate them.

Wrong. That's over $500 worth of books.

So I loaded them in my LL Bean tote and as soon as I got home I decided I was going to sell them on Amazon. I have never had good luck with Amazon. EVER. Every time I buy anything, something seems to go wrong. But I figured if I was the seller, it would be okay.

So I listed all my books.

Today I get an email saying someone bought a book and I was so excited! I started looking at how to ship it...come to find out I didn't realize I was responsible for shipping, so I was like that stinks because that comes from my "profit."

Then as I am looking at my account I realize someone purchased a book back in April....it's now May.

So I was like oh S#&*!. I felt so bad, that I left work early to take it to the post office

I sent him an email apologizing that my shipping is late and that I am new at this.
I immediately printed a shipping label and took both books to the post office

I had to go to two different post offices and oh my gosh, they are so rude. I didn't realize you had to have your package already packed with tape and everything..who knew

It cost me over $20 to ship two books..that is so ridiculous.

So I get it shipped, and after my run I see an email from the guy  and this is what it says

Ahh I felt like the worst person to ever sell something off Amazon.

So I will never buy/sell off this site again because I have the worst luck everrrrr

(I feel like I could have condensed that story a tad)

:)

Anyways, moving on to something more happier, I got a few comments on my last post asking where this tank came from

I actually found it at TJ Maxx last week for only $14.99!!

I plan on doing some shopping this weekend, hopefully I can find some more bargains like that!

Oh my...

Hi I am Makenzie, remember me?!

It has been so long since I have blogged my computer signed me out of blogger, whereas it usually keeps me logged in

I have been working my toosh off lately, and when I get home opening my computer is the last thing I feel like doing :(

But here are some pictures from my phone yet again

I wish I could think of a clever post but my brain in kuput at the moment! 

Hope to get back in the swing of things soon!!

Until then,

My Light Bulb Moment

I had such a light bulb moment today!

Many of you probably already thought of this but it just clicked for me today.

Everyday I work out with my iPhone and I have one of those things that hold it on my arm so I don't have to use my hands but it is too big and slides right down my arm no matter how tight I strap that bad boy on. So annoying. Now when I am running, I have to hold it in my hand and hold a water bottle in the other...it's close to a circus act let me tell you.  

What's so gross is that my hands sweat perspire and gets my phone all nasty.

Also, now that it is warming up when I talk on the phone long enough, my makeup rubs/runs off on the screen protector and gets all nasty. 

Ew. 

While running today I remembered watching something on Dr. Oz probably over a year ago about how gross and how many germs are actually on phones.

Here is one statistic that I remembered clearly:

Cell phones have 18 times more bacteria then a toilet handle.

Yeah..that's nasty.

Worst part is it is against your face..

So I thought I need to clean my phone every time I am done working out but what to use?!?

Then I had an idea to use the makeup remover towelettes I bought a few months back! 

I keep them in my gym bag and it is so perfect! I clean my face and iPhone after each workout!

I am not sure if it is actually antibacterial but it makes me feel better anyways. Dr. Oz would probably say that I am just spreading the germs around and not cleaning them off..but hey it's better than not using anything at all!

(I did use Lysol wipes once but I think I thought they were too strong and was going to eat away at my screen protector and my case)

***

Well that was my most random post yet but it was on my mind and that's what this thing is..a mind dump!

Weekend via iPhone (again!)

I can't believe it is Wednesday and I am just now doing a weekend recap...

This summer thing has my schedule all thrown off.

Here is my weeekend via my iPhone

Friday was my big news...I was suppose to be getting a new car!!!

However that deal fell through unfortunately because the sales guy refused to even lower the price $100 dollars..so my parents figured we could wait until another great deal came along. It was so sad, we even test drove it over night so I really had my hopes up about it.

But Saturday the Air Station which is a big military base here in town had a Dierks Bentley concert that was open to the public!

It was so much fun and he was so good!

Here is my bangles that I wore to the concert

So fun and summer-y!

Sunday the weather was so nice that Michael and my step dad decided to go fishing...I of course had to tag along because I wanted to lay out on the bow of the boat to tan!!

I only got one picture :(

Sunday I snapped this picture of me and Mikey's drinks!

It was just funny that I grabbed the Clemson tumbler and he grabbed the Carolina one because they are huge rivals in South Carolina. He is such a Carolina fan and I am Clemson..so the competition between the teams when they play is definitely fun!

And mine as well throw Monday into the cycle here since I didn't do a post

This is the only thing that got me through my miserable final that I will say that I got an A on!

Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!

Offically Summertime

Okay ladies, phew...talk about 100 lbs off my hope to be soon sun-kissed shoulders.

I had my one and only final yesterday and I didn't start studying for until 2 hours before hand. I even went in an hour early to con my professor into letting me start early..which he did.

I went through 100 question multiple choice test in less than 25 mins.

Turned it on and on my drive home realized that I forgot to write my name on my test.

So..not feeling to confident about it but I have a 100 average going into it so I think that's why I was in the "I don't care summer is tomorrow" mindset.

Here are some summer-y pictures to kick off this wonderful season!!

Does anyone have any fun plans for the summer?!
