So being from OC i have two baseball teams to really choose from: Angels or Dodgers. Now before you pick a side, listen to why i like baseball:
1. i can talk through the game and people dont really get mad
2. its super simple to follow
3. the players have great butts
4. the food is delicious
5. and the players have GREAT butts
Ok...so now that we have that out of the way!! i am not really a huge fan of either. Yes i wear angels things and attend angels game but the real reason... (OC girls all together now!!) MIKE TROUT! Not only is he gorgeous and has an amazing butt, he is like an incredible player. And arguably the only one actually playing baseball on the team. 

So, i got four free angels tickets for the game tonight so of course i was like wheres my jersey?!?! (SECRET: want to know how i got the tickets? if your a 7 day register receiver you can apply online for free tickets to every game and then they email you and you pick your seats...i know AMAZ-BALLS). Anywho i tried to find someone, anyone to go with me and everyone was like aww man i am not home, i have a family dinner, i am at the jonas brothers concert. So it ended up being the three stooges: mary (mom) dave (father) and me! So we packed the swaggerwagon and left! Little to our knowledge it was 80s night. So this was just gonna be another game for me... but not for mary. She had to sing every song and tell the story that went along with it.  Warning to my kids, i am just like her so my time will come! 

The first thing we did when we got to the game? of course go to the beer booth, with the cups that fill from the bottom! Its like magic!! then after spending 40 bucks on three hotdogs popcorn and two beers we headed to our seats, for what we thought would be a baseball game. The first inning, we walked to players and started to go downhill from there. The middle part of the game, the angels almost were playing baseball, we got three players out in one play!!! very rare now a days. Then MIKE did his signature catch over the wall, being amazing and making me fall in love with him more. And then came the whole downhill (at full speed, might i add) part. In the top of the 9th...top of the 9th... we brought in our fifth or so pitcher...why you may ask? oh just so they can score 4 MORE RUNS!! your kidding. so we lost...shocking!

But on a better note, Big Bang Friday ( the angels firework show) was incredible as always! and they even had a band play on the field afterwards. So we left the stadium in a better mood! This would have been a pretty good night..you know? but in MACK fashion, one night could not go that smoothly. On our way to the freeway there is a DUI checkpoint, so i had to sit in the car and wait for every angels and astro fan to lie about the amount of drinks they had to get through that game, just so i could drive my parents home and remind myself that i am not 21. cool. He didnt even ask where i was coming from, he looked at my license and probably thought aww another baby who cant touch alc... yipeee. i got to wait in line, and i didnt even get to have an exchange of words with the HOT cop. super...

Alright Orange County girls... we all like to work out or at least some of us like to (i am pretty sure the others just like talking about it), we need to talk. i go to the gym to work out which involves sweat *gasp* and maybe even some heavy breathing. CRAZY idea right?! well i am sick and tired of going with all these cute little things that have no muscle who are at the gym taking all the 5 lb weights and doing NOTHING! if you are here to meet guys ... go stand in the parking lot! if you are here to get attention ... move out of my way! if you are here to show off... go join the big gross guys grunting in front of the mirror! And i know some of you are going to say just worry about your own workout and ignore those girls... but they are EVERYWHERE!!! 

Another thing, i love to run on the treadmills! its nice not to pay attention to what is actually going on, like worrying about crossing streets or getting eaten by mountain lions, like you have to do when you run on the streets. Also, no one honks at you!! Ya i know i am running thanks driver. Ya i know your there, thanks again. And congrats your horn works and you made me pee a little! Anyways, when i run on the treadmill, i dont understand why i have to pick a "workout", let me just run. i cant decide what to eat for breakfast, let alone chose which way i want to run, let me just go. So normally i just pick one and then slow it down or speed it depending on how i feel. Which brings me to my next point, when i run next to you dont look at my screen. run your own "workout". if i speed up, i DO NOT want to here you click your speed up to mine. I dont want to race so back off! so for the last time, dont look at my screen!!!

Back to the guys by the mirror who grunt! OK, do your thing really, good for you for working out that hard. BUT when you are grunting so loud that i can hear you across the room over all the other people and machines, you're trying to hard. Like we all know your there, you are HUGE! But we also know you are there because 9 times out of 10 you guys are the ones who smell the worse. ALSO, you guys sweat more than the rest of the gym combined.Like you should see a doctor. if you are dripping sweat, like making pools on the ground, you should lift outside or at your home. You are making the gym humididty go up! We live in so cal no one likes humidity! 

One more rant and then ill stop i swear!! ok, so i lift and i workout. always have and always will BUT i am still pretty small so NO i can not lift your weight that you "forgot" to re rack! Like seriously, people who lift a normal amount of weight always re rack but the meatheads who use all the 45 lb plates ALWAYS "forget" to re rack! WTF!! i just wanted to get a quick set in before i left but oh wait what was suppose to be a 10 minute thing turned into a 10 minute clean up after some douche, then me being too tired to do the actually set!! so please re rack so i dont have to look pathetic removing all the weight! i am small and get tired really fast!! 

SO GIRLS I HAVE A RULE OF THUMB!! 1. if you get ready before you go to the gym and dont just throw workout clothes on then DONT GO! 2.if you have to look in the mirror before you go to the gym DONT GO 3. if you look cute at the gym i am going to laugh at you 4. and if you dont come out looking like you ran through hell on with an elephant on your back YOUR DOING IT WRONG!

Summer is beginning to wind down. No one is home anymore and the HS kids have officially started. Which leaves me staring at walls for the greater part of my day...nice. So last time i had this grand plan to go to the beach in the morning to catch some skin cancer and then come back home and continue planning my trip back to school. By about 2 am last night i had decided going to the beach alone is a lot of work (jesus lazy much) so then i downgraded to the lake. So plan: wake up at 8, run from 830-930, rinse in the shower, eat and head to the lake and come home by three. What actually happened: woke up at 7:30 (with 3 texts?!?! can you say popular haha) looked out my window said no fell back asleep, woke back up at 930(could still go to the lake) walked down stair and dad said "you still going to the lake by yourself"...the ring was not as glamourous as it was last night so i blew that off. Well thank God Mary( my lovely mother called) wanted to go to lunch! Every time we talk about going to lunch it begins with a 10 minute convo with about 8 minutes of awkward silence or umms always ending in CPK. So off to CPK it was. After glaring at the menu and drooling (didnt eat breakfast) i decided to go out of my comfort zone and order something new... the California Club PIZZA!!! i know so creative right! So the masterpiece comes out... it was like i was 2 again and couldn't use a fork or knife. It was seriously everywhere. When the waitress removed my plate there was a clean ring of where the food couldnt get because of the plate. Nice shannon wayy to act your age. Soo after about a cup of chipotle ranch and cholula i decided the pizza was pretty good. And since my day was just soo jammed pack i decided to truck it back to work with my mom.... we are just gonna leave that part as AWKWARD! Then off to what i thought would be the highlight of my day...the mall!!! (cue heavenly  music and lights) Mary needed to get a contact check...which seriously she should just drop the contact idea it takes her 30 minutes to put them in right without it "feeling funny" "being blurry" or losing it!...anyways, walking into the mall is like waking up wo bed in breakfast from Mike Trout (wouldnt everyone love that feel that?? well you can go to a good mall!!) So we go to our "check up" and we are in and out in like 5 minutes. So heres the thing, me and Mary are very similar and VERY different. She does not like shopping...GASP!! i know she finds it stressful, boring and annoying. Anyways i could stay at the mall all day just touching things and trying on clothes to walk away with a very thought out purchase. Mary would rather pierce her face! Anyways on my mothers rush out of the mall, i managed to stop in three stores...then my heart stopped. After buying my new bedding for school and a MK purse late last night, i had a whopping 42.72 in my bank account. Cool thats enough for like a gumball and diet coke in todays world. So the highlight of my day quickly turned into the lowest part of my day walking away with nothing.  It was time to go home (empty handed in case you forgot) and get ready for dinner with my college bible study group...I know i am awesome! Selmas in San Clemente....yummmmyy. So i head down with my new summer bestie Sierra and on our way down we went from sunny OC to clouds of doom in the sky! What the heck SoCal I am here for 8 more days you better get your shizzz together before i leave or else your not gonna be looking in my pics! So we head down get an amazing parking spot and walk up to Selmas (30 minutes early for our group... we are responsible!!) the lady then says its going to be a 4 minute wait...what the heck SC its a tuesday night at 730...go to bed! But whatever we can go SHOPPING again for the second time in two days... shiversss!! Welp all of two shops were open...first one a tanning salon with a couple of shirt... fail and the second a super cute indy chic store. It was so cute, I liked everything in there except the 21 year blonde annoying employee. She followed us like hawks telling us everything would look good on us...I know we are gorgeous back off! After the first attempt of mmhmms and "ya"s to get rid of her failed, we decided to split in the store...Sierra unaware because she is too nice (love you). That plan didnt work either, she just raised her voice. So as annoying as she already was she then shares she vegan...to which I respond..."Are you starving?!!?" to which she fake giggles and blows it off. Ok world, one day...ONE day... I didnt eat bread... lets just say I felt malnutritioned. Then another just fruits and veggies... I felt like a rabbit with the appetite of a shark... none of those are good or work...at least for me. So then she tells us all of the meals she eat...how she cooks them...what the are comparable to, how often she eats them, and where she can buy it. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! be on a diet, lose weight, be healthy ... dont tell me about it I love my chocolate and chips and diet coke...I dont want to hear about how delicious it is ... because it isnt your lying to yourself eat some real food and tell me quinoa taste better...i thought so. Anyways, off to dinner. AFTER A TWO HOUR WAIT, we are seated (and yes I stood in front of the person seating people for the last 40 minutes and made a scene so they were forced to seat us!) Me and Sierra were about to die or eat each other which ever required less energy, and she finally took our orders! We split a delicious sesame seed something or other salad which tasted like it flew in straight from China and then a veggie pasta. This veggie pasta...really... It needed salt pepper lemon and butter. What did the chef even do? Jesus! So the entire time we waited for our food me and sierra were cracking up from delusion and starvation! And when the food came... no one spoke. All was back to normal after that and we left fuller than full and so tired!

Everyone always talks about having a blog or a tumblr or whatever else there is in the world. I have always looked at them like how do you have time and now here I find myself at 11:30 pm a week before I leave for school with a million things to do... creating a blog. Well, I am majoring in Communications...now before you judge its not because its an "easy" major it because thats what I actually want to do in life ... well and have lots of kids. Anywho, for someone who is majoring in comm I have not been in the social media world for long. I did not become apart of it until december of my sophomore year of high school all of about 5 years ago. It all started with facebook...ahhhh. So anyways i graduated not much longer into instagram( which I think is gods gift to the world... less girl rants for sure!). So then I came to my senses tonight and was like I am going to make a tumblr. So i log on to the website, i put in my info where my computer tries to be smart and fill in sh*t and i am like ahh stop macbook jesus I can do this by myself. So i get on after changing my username oh about 500 times... how many people are out there with my exact brain and wants of a username?? So then its all "welcome to tumblr" and i was yeah world watch out here I come! but then it immediately wants me to like, follow, look at .. idk what its called 5 blogs right off the bat. Umm ok it took me 17 years to get a FB (totally skipping myspace) then another two to get a insta and now I am suppose to just find 5 blogs i want...out of oh 58 million... right? so i tried... you know NEGU... so i pick something beachy, something lulu, nordstom, something pink and some girl power thing... don't judge i don't even know what I was looking for. So then here i am...on my page ... trying to figure out what to do... so i tried and failed and tried once more... that three tries and nothing amazing came from it so I hit log out...and then my tumblr was born and died in about 15 minutes. So then I was like time to start a blog elsewhere in the other universe called the internet. So i did what any person who wants to start a blog does... GOOGLE! so the first one looked great, it was called blogger...fitting. Then my gmail accounts said I was not allowed. Great thanks computer. So now I am here attempting to create my third blog of the night and don't even know how I am doing. 

I imagine this blog being about life, food and drama so buckle up and grab something to snack on ...its just about to get poppin!
