This one's for the boys!

I know, I know! It's not even Thursday anymore but school just happens to take over my life more often than I would like it to. Anyway, here are the men I creeped on and chased down to take photograph's of: 

The business man, Micah.

 

I'm working on the whole camera thing promise,
sorry Danny Boy.

A&A Wednesday's

Today is Wednesday so with out further a due:

The Awesome
-I lost my phone on Monday but didn't realize I had done so until an hour after the last time I had seen it. So, I ran back to  the classroom I was in and my professor (the silver fox) gave me his phone to call mine, someone actually answered it and I recognized her name! The person who found my phone was a chick in my next class which started in about 2 minutes and was literally right across the hall from where I was standing.
-The same chick who found my phone brought our class a ginormous bag of Twizzlers and peanut m&m's (my favorite candy EVER) on our test day.
-I had a four page paper I completely forgot about, as usual, and I wrote exactly four ages in exactly ONE hour!
-Got that paper back today, with a big 98 written on the top!
-I actually had free time and caught up with two of my really good friends over lunch, yumm.

The Awkward:
-I was part of the worship team for church last week, then I lost my voice half way through... (I spent the weekend sipping tea and sucking on Riccola candies)
-Oh no big deal my pants were just totes unzipped while I talked to that one cutie.
-And this one I forgot to tell you guys about last week: I'm taking a Social Psych. class this semester so my professor was lecturing on studies about criminals and serial killers and their connection to aggressive pornography. As he's going over aggressive pornography I decide to check my phone and open up to a hysterical text from the BFF so I'm sitting in the back not realizing I have a giant smile on my face when he stops his lecture and asks, in complete sincerity, if I'm doing okay and if I have anything I would like to add. Keep in mind I am like THE ONLY one who ever talks in this class so from what I could tell on everyone's faces I'm pretty sure they think I have a little connection with aggressive pornography. The irony, I go to a private Christian University and believe in abstinence.

Check in tomorrow it's gonna be another guy's day!

Some of you are going to be a little angry.

Terrible lighting, sucky quality:/

Did you see my facebook today? I told you guys I had my sassy pants on.

 

Hey birds! You can expect to see a rose in my hair at least once more this week. And yes, it's a real flower. I was actually asked that a few times today which reminded me of how much I dislike fake things/try to keep things low key and as natural as possible. To help you better understand my brain I have provided you with a list of just a few things I can't wrap my mind around fake :
-eyelashes
-hair (extensions)
-nails

-purses
-body parts
-hair accessories
-tans
-faces (yes, fake faces like when girls cake on their make up every single day)
-I feel like there is more but this is all I can think of for now.
Now before you all start freaking out about this let me explain a few things. I totally agree with cosmetic surgery when it is needed for health reasons. When it comes to make-up I'm not just saying I don't like it because I suck at doing it, I'm saying I hate when girls cake on their foundation and eye shadow every single day! If you have an event and want to get all dolled up then go right ahead! I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to make your face up every now and then, heck I had one of those days today:)
Also, I don't dislike fake tans when they actually look natural. I know a few girls who naturally have an olive undertone and they look really nice with their fake-n-bake. But I can't stand it when girls tan so much they get an orangey tint.

I guess I don't like fake things because it isn't a reflection of the true person. I feel like when girls say they are not comfortable with themselves and they buy a bunch of products it makes things worse. I learned this first hand which is why I try to keep it as low key as possible now because on the days I don't have time to do my make-up I know I won't feel completely terrible going out and about in the town. Also, why do we feel the need to impress others with our material things? Personally, I gave up long ago on trying to blend in and have the latest things because when I couldn't afford them I felt like garbage compared to the next person. A perfect example, well kinda perfect, are the Coach purses. Do you guys remember how every girl just had to have a Coach purse? Whyyyyy??? Why did everyone care so much for those ugly bags that cost a fortune? Honestly, I think the Coach bags and wristlets with the C's all over them are probably one of the lamest lines of purses I've ever seen because they advertise the brand and completely forget about the design aesthetic just like the Dooney & Bourke and Louis Vuitton rainbow logo collections. (actually the solid black versions of any of the above arn't that bad) But hey, that's just me and if you happen to own any of the above I realize you might be pretty upset right now and think my fashion sense completely sucks  but why spend so much money on a bag when there are plenty of others which are amazing for much cheaper. So basically, don't stress about what others think. And I now realize this sounds much more harsh than I intended it to because it's in writing. I guess I just needed to express/vent about my feelings and thoughts... so my apologies if you were offended:/ If anything, my intent was to make you all realize there is no need for all of the extra bells and whistles because if there is ANYTHING at all that I have learned in life/wish someone, anyone, would have told me years ago is to just be yourself. Sounds totally cliche I know, but it is so unbelievably true.

Two treats in one day! You. Are. Welcome.

That's right you get a picture and a vlog today. I know, I know I'm fantastic hahaa;)
Anyway, you asked and I listened. So here it is, my experience with wardrobe malfunctions. You all have them I just happen to laugh at myself when they happen!
Lemme know what you think, email, like, comment, you know the drill.

it's a lovely face I know:)

 if you're looking at this on your phone jump to 3:12
to skip some ish. Jump to 5:10 to get right to the stories!

Finally, some pictures!

That's right, you're looking at gold needle point, red velvet stilettos:)

Shirt: White House|Black Market, Skirt: Piazza Sempione
Shoes: Charlotte Russe

*Ladies if you do buy these heels I highly recommend you have a lot of balance and try to avoid rough pavement. Just like with any pair of heels the pavement will destroy the bottom of the needle point if you don't step properly. But these, these are extra fragile.

Before I say anything else I'm sorry about the lighting and awkward angles. I know, I know it's a terrible thing. But that's what happens when you are running late and literally pull over to a random place to snap pictures during sundown or when your camera decides it will not flash for you no matter what you do! hahaa that sounded better in my head. Anyway, wanna know the weird thing? This is totally not the outfit I had planned that I told you all about in the video... I mean the shoes were a given! I knew I was going to wear these babies for sure! But the skirt and everything else was a total last minute decision, literally. And yes, that is a real rose in my hair.
Anyway, from the feedback you guys gave me you can expect a part 2 to the video from yesterday. Also thank you for all of your lovely emails, texts, and messages! You guys are seriously some of the sweetest blog readers ever.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I know I couldn't have asked for a better end to mine. God is simply too wonderful sometimes. Can you say understatement of the century? hahaa check in tomorrow who knows what the bird days will have in store. No really, I have no idea what you can expect tomorrow, so I say let's all be surprised by what I decide to share with you! Sound like a plan? K cool;)

My thoughts on relationships?

I've been super busy with school and I haven't had time to update, sorry:(
So to make up for it I made a video for you! I know, I know how nice hahaa so let me know what you think and if you guys would like to see more videos. Email, message me, like, or comment either here or on facebook if you want to know more about any of the things I mentioned!

I hope you're having a lovely weekend!

 

*Jump ahead to 3:50 to skip an embarrassing story and a make-up talk*

A&A Wednesday

 

Dress: Black House|White Market
Gold Watch: NY&C
Tights: Macy's

Awkward:
-Waiting for the doctor once you're already in the little room, by yourself, in a gown, trying not to even think about moving because the moment you do that crunchy paper you're sitting on turns into a noisy Fourth of July firework's show.
-Even more awkward: I chose to move about on the 4th of July paper and entertain myself with the only things I had at arms reach, the medical instruments. You know the eye, ear, and arm things they examine you with. The same ones we all dreamed of using once upon a time when we were like 5 and 7 years old and played doctor because they were always included in the doctor kit. In any case, I began playing around with them when my doctor does this super sneaky 007 knock and opens the door before I could put any of the toys away...
-Walking in a very crowded/very busy sidewalk when my needle point heel literally nails the soft spot in the crack that was just refilled. So naturally, my leg goes all wacky to the side and I look like a 14 year old girl who ventured into the world with heel's for the first time. Good thing I had my friend next to me because I grabbed onto her arm for dear life as I tried to wedge my heel out of the gooey pavement sealer mess.
*I'm sure you can all see how obviously graceful I am considering last week's A&A.

Awesome:
-It snowed this week, Even if it was just a flurry it's still snow. Want to know the full story of my reaction about how I discovered the first snowfall of the season? Go to yesterday's post, "Baby it's cold outside" or click on older posts at the bottom of this page.
-The Bird Days got 1500 views! GO YOU! Yes, you reading this right now! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out what The Bird Days are all about:)
-I was at Walgreen's the other day browsing the allergy pill section alongside an older gentleman and a little pumpkin. After about a minute or so the little girl sees me and comes right over and we began what I can honestly say was one of the sweetest conversations I have ever had. It went a little something like this:
g: Ooh.. you're so pretty! What's your name?
m: Aww so are you! My name's Jennie what's yours?
g: I'm Gracie, I'm 4. Jennie are you my papa's best friend? Papa (tugging on her grand-father's pant leg) is Jennie your best friend?
m: No, I'm just shopping for medicine.
g: Do you have a boyfriend?
m: No, I don't.
g: Why not?
m: Because I haven't found the right boy yet.
g: How come you never found the right boy?
m: I found the right one a very long time ago but then thing's changed.
(After a full spin and twirl in her twinkle toes, those are actual shoes, remember I worked at a day care those things lit up every inch of the classroom during nap time) Gracie turned to me and dropped to her knees and shouted:
g: Oh no! Jennie you're stepping on your pretty dress!
-my dress was actually just really, really long and unfortunately I don't have a picture in it because this was Urban Thursday on the Bird Day's.
So there I stood trying to explain to Grace my dress was just really long and before I knew it she was back up and said, "I'm going to buy you the prettiest thing in the world."
With that, she turned and took off towards the end of the aisle and turned the corner.
When she came back she had a headband in her hand and said, "Take it, I'll buy it for you in a minute!" I said, "Thank you, you're a lovely little girl Gracie I'm really glad I met you, and then she wrapped her arms around my legs, said good bye, and her grandfather apologized because she was being "intrusive". Of course I told him there was no need for any kind of apology, it was the highlight of my day!

Also, shout out to my amazing photographer for the day Mr. Michael Carothers.

Baby it's cold outside.

Ello lovely readers! As some of you  may already know, those of you on FB, I was hibernating yesterday and therefore was not able to update you on what's going on in my head or my life. I'm sure you're terribly distraught;)
Anyway, I'm on new meds which happen to drain out all of the energy and life in my body but somehow they keep me awake, for like ever. So yesterday, I just so happened to forget to take these magical pills and found myself snoozing off towards the end of my last class. Naturally, I debated going home or staying on campus to finish up some work but my sleepy head won so I jumped in my car and off I went. Thirty minutes later I found myself in my kitchen munching on some cookies when I realized I should be getting homework done so I ran up to my room got out my lap top, opened up a word document, typed my name, the date, my class, and before I knew it I was fighting my ex-boyfriend in a cage for the golden gloves. Totally weird I know, but that's nothing compared to the rest of my dream/dreams throughout the night but I don't have time to tell you all about that. The point is I won the fight and got the golden gloves, which was AWESOME, considering I know for a fact I would never come close to such a thing hahaa

Moving on, my meds knocked me out for a little over 15 hours, did you read that? 15 HOURS. Go ahead ask me how it felt? Ask me how I felt this morning? AWESOME. I felt awesome and to be honest I know I could have slept for much longer but alas, my homework that I never finished last night called my name. What you really should know about today is that it SNOWED TODAY! It really did, I promise! I saw it all this morning. There I was shuffling through all of the cupboards-that looks funny to me but according to google that's how it's spelled- and cabinets in my kitchen looking for something to eat when I looked outside through the giant glass door and I couldn't believe it... I honestly had to jolt across the kitchen (which really isn't a long distance but it adds to the dramatic effect of what I was feeling;), and ran outside to the patio in my PJ's. (which I don't recommend if you're in a tank top, shorts, and no shoes) So there I stood, in terrible weather clothing, freezing cold, but nonetheless with a huge smile on my face!
Then my mom saw me, opened the door, and yelled at me for being outside with no shoes on. Notice how she ignored the fact that I was in shorts and a tank top and went straight for the shoes, those Hispanic  moms. Back to my morning. To top off a snowy filled morning (ok fine it was more like a flurry but hey I'll take what I can get) I had what can be considered one of the yummiest breakfasts ever! Not to mention one of the prettiest;)

I hope you all had a lovely day:)
