Yard Sale Season- This is pretty much a ramble.

We are finally getting warm weather in Michigan! And that means Yard Sale signs EVERYWHERE!!! I have no idea what it is about the weather, or if this happens in other places, but it seems like yard sales only happen in the area where I live at 2 times of the year, as soon as it is hitting 70 degrees pretty consistently in the late spring, and in mid to late fall... again when the weather is about 70 degrees... It seems to be a strange phenomenon where people try to sell their old junk to strangers only if it's a certain temperature out though... Hmmm... could merit investigation. Also could be a fun blog post...

In other news, my Tigers manicure chipped, so I removed the polish, and redid my nails in a floral theme. Each nail has a different floral image on it, but both hands match. (i.e.- the designs on my thumbs are the same and both my ring fingers are lilac and have the same image on them.)

I used konad's nail stamping plates for the designs,
both this time and when I did the Tigers manicure.

I actually bought the black nail polish at Five Below, and while I was there I discovered a nail polish drying solution that really works. It's from the company Fresh Paint. you put one drop on the nail and within 10 seconds the polish is dry... No joke. It's awesome. I also found......

They were only 3 bucks apiece!!!

Yep.. That's Right!!! Mini Tigers Pillow Pets!!! :D And I got one for Bruce!! :P (Sidenote: Bruce actually admitted to wanting a baseball bat... Although he claims it will be for bludgeoning intruders, I'm still counting it as a win for me getting him into baseball.)
I'm going to warn you though, that store is dangerous. Everything is $5 or less... Which seems like a fantastic deal (which honestly it is...) however when things are that cheap you tend to buy a bunch. And the stuff there isn't shitty quality. It's not department store quality, but it's significantly better than the dollar store.

Anyway, apparently this post ended up being a ramble about shopping in general... And nail polish... I swear I'm not a girly girl...

My Birthday!!!

I'm going to the Tigers game with Bruce!!!

My Tigers Manicure. I did it myself!

I did a mani pedi 2 days ago, and it still looks awesome if I do say so myself. I'm really excited. I'm heading over to Bruce's now so we can spend the day together. I'll update this post as I have things to say. :)
Update:
Before I left for Bruce's I found money in  a purse I hadn't used in years, which was neat, and I took this picture of myself.

This is what I looked like all day long. I was the birthday princess.
And yes, my bathroom is very girly.

So, Bruce took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner, and I got what I always get, not because I'm boring, (Bruce) but because I love it. And Bruce got a filet. Apparently it was delicious, because I wasn't allowed to touch him while he was eating it, because it would "disrupt the experience"... Yeah, my boyfriend isn't strange at all.

Max Scherzer Pitching

The other pitcher pitching...
I just like this one because you can clearly see the ball.

After Prince's 3 run homer.
AH-MAZING

After the game. They won!! I was soo happy.

And Bruce didn't complain about being at the game at all. He actually said he liked it. So, the master plan of making him a fan of baseball is working... kinda. But the important thing is that we had fun... And that I found money in my purse... Magic money makes everything more awesome.

Twenty-Two

I turn 22, on the 29th. (Happy Birthday to me!)
My boyfriend, (Man I have got to come up with a decent pseudonym for him... I would go with "The Incredible Hulk" but, A.) that's even longer than typing 'my boyfriend' and B.) that would just add to his already gigantic ego... Oh! I got it, I'll call him Bruce... God I'm a nerd.) is taking me to the Tigers game on my birthday. :D

RAWRRRRR!!!

Now what you all don't know is that Bruce doesn't like baseball... I know, I know... It's Un-American. But, before you guys go after him with pitchforks and torches ablaze, you should know...

This Tiger is very upset you don't like baseball, BRUCE!!!
He's telling the townspeople to grab their torches and pitchforks!

He knows how much I love it, so he'll indulge my need to know about the Tigers, accepts that when we grab lunch or dinner at a place that is broadcasting the Tigers game, I will inevitably get distracted and tune him out to some degree, and he'll occasionally update me on the game if I'm somewhere where I can't watch it.

It would seem you've placated the one, Bruce.
Now you just have to deal with his two buddies...

However, the sweetest thing he's done, thus far, is turn on the TV at his place, and sit down and watch a few innings with me. AT HIS PLACE... He finds the channel the game is on, flips to it, and doesn't touch the remote again. Plus, he cuddles me while he's watching. He's a keeper for sure.

AND NOW?!?! He's taking me to a game, for my BIRTHDAY!!! Not because he'll enjoy it, but because he knows I'll enjoy it. (Hopefully I can get him into it too... *fingers crossed*) Plus it's a night game!!! :D Which is awesome, because A.) If it's chilly I can just cuddle up to him (not that I really need a reason to cuddle, it's just nice to have an excuse sometimes... I'm quite possibly an excessive cuddler...) B.) The eyes in the tigers on top of the score board glow green at night. and C.) What's more romantic than walking through downtown Detroit at night? (Kidding... I just felt like I needed to put more than 2 things in my list this time... Seriously though, if you've never been to/ aren't familiar with how to keep safe in a city, a night game is probably not the best idea for you.)

How cool is he? All lit up and stuff... Can't see the glowy eyes in this picture though.

So, basically I have the best boyfriend ever, and the funny thing is, he was disguised as my best guy friend for a little over 2 years... Who knew?

'Cause it's ONE, TWO, THREE STRIKES, I'm out... :P
