Crazy Rabid Birds

Birds... I HATE Birds... And I must have some pretty bad carma because I always have the worst experience with birds.

So today I had quite the experience and I am not sure where to start...

I just got back from work and was eating some food...looking at pinterest..you know the usual. Then I start to hear...

The Chirping...

If you know me I cannot stand tiny little noises.. They just bug me. And at first this just sounded like our annoying fire alarm when it needs new batteries so I tried my best to ignore it...

Then my mom comes in and asks me if I hear the  chirping too and I told her that if was the fire alarm and even said, " Or a bird is in the house."

Hahaha knock on wood..

So my mom, as annoyed as I am, goes and tries to find which alarm it is so that she can change the batteries and all of the sudden I hear her screaming and yelling, " ASHLEY! OH MY GOSH! IT'S A BIRDDD!"

No... Not that..Then I asked the dreaded question..

"In my room..?"

"YES, YESSS HURRY!"

Oh my gosh. Why. This would happen! And I know anyone reading this is probably just thinking, " Aw it's a cute bird it's okay just catch it!" Or at least my sis Carly would because she is so good with animals and keeping calm in situations like these..Im jealous of her..Because in that moment I forgot the whole gizelle or snow white animal lover heart and grabbed a stick and ran to my room..

When I got there it was a DISASTER. Feathers everywhere, bird poop everywhere, and the creepy beady eyed bird...

It was flying everywhere, touching everything and even grabbed something of mine in its mouth.

At first we tried to remain calm ( Mom just laughing her head off at me ) but then it decided to tick me off...

It went into my closet...


NO..NO...NOOO! I grabbed my boot and was lashing it everywhere as this bird was flying all around me and chirping and grabbing clothes and going bizurk... It was a civil war in the closet. With a bird.


And then I had an idea...There was no way I was getting this bird out without some help...I needed my noble Panther..RUE. My cat Rue is so gentle I thought she would maybe just help me get it out the window! So I called for rue and she came running like a good kitty and I locked me, Rue, and the thing in my room..

Not the brightest idea I admit.

So now we have me screaming, rue ( Huge eyes, claws out, panther mode) chasing a bird, and the bird freaking out over my head. Rue caught the bird and then I remembered what Gizelle or Snow White would do and I decided to be a good person and grab Rue and get her off the bird.

This wasn't working.


Finally.. ( A Brighter Idea ) I locked the bird in my room, ran and got the pool net and returned with Rue AND the Net.


I opened the door wide, let Rue chase the bird, got him in the air and caught him in the net and flung it out the window... BOOM BABY.


I felt pretty cool I must say. And I know this is probably disturbing and sad to some readers but I don't real care.. and again.. I hate Birds.


Now I am deep cleaning my room, vacuuming, wiping down every corner..EVERY CORNER, putting clothes, sheets, anything that can go in the washing machine in the wash and sleeping on the couch.


Call me a worry wart? Lets just keep birds outside.. Or go camping and see them. Or next time lucky won't be so lucky.

Yes, I named the bird lucky.

I'm BACK.

Oh hey there Blog!

Over the last few months I have been in math limbo...at least thats what I call it. 

My type of Limbo is when I get so overly stressed with something.. usually online schooling. I can't handle anything or anyone I am just in my own world pretty much..

No I am not depressed haha! I just get overly focused one thing and can't fit anything else into my brain or I feel like my head will burst! It's weird. I apologize for anyone ( Especially my sisters) who have talked to me lately or have hung out with me..I promise I liked talking to you, I listened, I was just in a daze for a bit..

Thats seriously what happens to me. When I have too much on my mind I sort of just hide and close off to everyone.

 OR

 it's the other way around and I will act like everything it totally fine..Thats usually what happens with friends..because I feel embarrassed to tell them how stressed I am..I would rather be fun! 

But half the time lets just say I am awkwardly silent and don't remember how to talk sometimes too..

yikes.

I should probably explain WHY I was in Limbo for a bit...But guess what! There is a happy ending! 

So as some of you know I am graduating early and have some pretty hard online classes. This past week I finished up my math online and let me tell you..IT WAS SO HARD. I hate math..I HATE it. I would rather write a 50 page essay than sit down and do math.

 (Im not joking.)

 So you can only imagine how stressful and annoying this math online class was. It's not just like a regular class that you can sit in class and wing half of it and still pass. You have to devote yourself to it or you will fail. 

Oh wait here comes the best part...

 Even if you have an A+ in the class but fail the final you fail the entire course

Yep. You heard that right..So lets say you are a senior ( me) and you do not pass... Say hello to being a SUPER senior! No graduating for you! 

Oh joy.

 So for the past few months I have been memorizing formulas and studying like crazy! Im glad I still have my friends because I was the biggest nerd/ antisocial person for quite a while. 

Just imagine me getting pushed in the halls of school because I had my math notes up to my eyes studying as I ran into people... I felt weird but I didn't care. I was determined to pass. Sorry if anyone tried to say hi..

If you know me I am always up for a fun night out with my friends so imagine how dorky it was when my friends asked to hang out on a friday night and I answered, " No I have to stay home and do STINKING MATH." ON A FRIDAY.

 I still get chills and nightmares. 

Im not saying that is a bad thing..

I have a lot of nights with just staying home but lets be honest.. If I am home on a friday I am either with family, sick, or doing some fun thing at home for the night..

Math is not my ideal type of fun.  Maybe for some people which is totally fine.. I won't judge.

And for the worst part..

 On the last day you get to go into a fun little portable with no ac and get put shoulder to shoulder with people to take your final. Can you imagine?! I can't even focus with one person in the room let alone 40! It was terrible. 

In fact let me just save you from that terrible image and skip to the end.. 

I PASSED! 

I literally teared up when I found out my score...I had to ask my dad a few times if I was really done with math forever just so that I could hear the words 

YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO HIGH SCHOOL MATH AGAIN. 

So you can imagine it was a good day :). 

To celebrate my guy friends and girls got some Ben and Jerry Ice cream and had a night hike up to a big look out of the city where we sat on blankets, star gazed and told some scary stories. We had lots of laughs and fun. 

I am just really happy :)

Lastest Obsessions.

Hello!

So I have been extremely busy..sorry for the lack of fun on my blog..But don't worry..I shall be free 

soon once my online gets punched in the face after my final NEXT WEEK!

I seriously might cry… I am so happy!

Anyways, to make it short here are a few summer looks and my latest trendy obsessions! 

Keep watching the blog for a post on where to get these outfits!

XoXo,

Ash 

                                                    These skirts are darling! They can go with so many things!

                                IN LOVE with sun hats right now! Beautiful and casual.

    Maxi skirts of course.. They are so comfy! And love the idea of tying a shirt in a knot.

                                                               Casual and flattering.

 And for the Final outfit…MY FAVORITE. I am loving this casual yet classy style. It is comfy and cute! Which is what we all want. 

Life as of lately

I seriously have been sick with some new illness for the past 3 weeks...
 It's STUPIDO.
And you know whose to blame? School.
 The first week I got the 24 hour stomach flue, the second week was a fever...
and now I have a stinking cold that is probably the worst cold I have ever had...
And it is always because some dork has that sickness in my class ( Which is usually a boy)
Lets be honest..Do they wash their hands a ton? Nope. Now we are all contaminated haha.
Cool thanks.
So my parents keep freaking out thinking I have issues because I keep getting sick
but I just keep telling them no really...it's school..So it's that kids fault it's not that I am a freak!
I am fine! I think I keep getting sick with something new each week because right when my body is trying to recover from the last sickness I get another one and it just punches me in the face because im not ready to fight off another sickness yet. You can imagine its been a long 3 weeks. Im not saying I haven't been able to go outside or to school and have been sick for literally the entire 3 weeks..I mean that I get it every week but I will be fine for half of the week too.. But I am just done being sick for any part of the week! I never want to be sick again! ..Once it got to this point of getting a new sickness every week I had a talk with my parents telling them that school is not healthy and that they should probably make me stay home.. They didn't buy it..But it was worth a try.
The picture at the top describes the past 3 weeks... reading books, learning french ( Ahahaha i was bored), looking through mazazines, taking a picture of my sick pile, and drinking Herbal Tea. That stuff works! I hate it..but it works. I use to think that drinking Herbal Tea mean't I was a sinner..But I am telling you now..If you are sick GO BUY TEA.. It is the best thing in the world when I am sick now. It helps I promise.
Lastly, On a brighter note we had the Temple Celebration practice this Saturday!! More than 12,000 youth in Gilbert went to the place that we will perform the temple celebration next week and had practice all day. Guess how long it was!! ( Back to a bad mood tone/ worth it tone) 15 HOURS. Highlight of it was 1. over 1,000 Hot mormon boys. 2. Exercise..sort of. 3. Getting to BE IN IT! Lows 1. No connection to the real world..( No cell phones, leaving etc) 2. IT TWAZ HOT. We live in Az so that sucks. 3. They had to cut it short because 12 people got hospitalized and the dust was choking everyone..So we will probably all get valley fever and die..HAHA just kiddinggg! I know I had my own complaints and that some parts I will admit were misearable because of the heat, I still had an amazing time. We all need a break from the world once in a while. We won't die from not having our cellphones for an hour... I mean seriously think about what others have had to do..Our generation has it SO EASY..It was sad how some people responded to the practice. I would look around at some people that made it fun because they smiled and actually danced and sang...and then there were the boys and girls that thought they were too cool for it ( Or for the prophet..? Who knows) and they would just sit and socialize and some would even make an excuse and leave. Yeah it was long and was tiring but this is the coolest experience ever! We actually get to perform for the prohpet next saturday! It is such an amazing experience. I am so thankful for the Gilbert  Temple and for living here and being the perfect age to perform in the celebration. It is such a blessing in my life and an experience that I will remember forever.

XoXo ,

Ashley

p.s I did not take these temple pics..I wish... haha

The Idaho peeps

So I was looking through all of my pictures on my computer and realized that I have a ton that I have never posted after I took them! What is wrong with me?! So I decided to post about my trip to Idaho to visit my sister and her family last fall break. I seriously love my Manny. She is the craziest, wierdest, most beautiful gal you will ever meet...She is such an amazing sister and my best friend...Oh and THE BEST Mama! I had a blast with her and the family!

Happy LATE Valentines!

In Honor of Fancy Friday, I am talking about my latest finds and deals! Lately I have been OBSESSED with Forever 21. Usually I don't like shopping there because you can't return anything..which is ridiculous. You can always exchange but whats the point? Get something you love for a great deal! AND buy something that you won't just wear once in your life. I like to buy tops and bottoms that I can make 10 different outfits out of..does that make sense? For example, usually for Valentines I go WAY out...I will wear a red dress with red heels and honestly look sort of ridiculous each Valentines and then I put it away and never look at it again. This year I went all out again( of course!) but I found the cutest top and skirt that I  am in love with that don't look as Valentines as I like but still showed some good colors and spirit for the day. Also, don't go all out on something that is stupid expensive. Nobody knows how much it was and honestly nobody cares. Im not saying I don't go buy some cute Anthropologie clothes or stuff like that sometimes but still, I almost feel guilty after buying an expensive outfit. If it's cute and cheep BUY IT! In fact I even shop at Name Brand and Urban exchange all of the time and I have actually found a shirt that was $40 at Francescas and only $8 at Name Brand! Thats pretty funny haha. So do me a favor and before you go empty out your wallet on some clothes remember to 1. LOVE IT..Like you can't part with it..2. Make sure you can transform at least 5 different outfits that could go with it..3. Please just try it on..4. CHECK THE PRICE..Make sure you have enough money... and 5...And I can't think of any more reasons so whatevs buy it! Haha just kidding. No make sure that if it is at least a $50 dollar shirt that you look around for something similar or something that you could copy! And just remember..it's just cotton.
