A Black and White Life

Wake up. Work. Eat. Workout. Netflix. Dream. Repeat. x5

Wake up. Netflix. Nap. Netflix. Eat. Drink. Dream. Repeat. x2

That ^ is how boring I could make my life seem right now because in all reality that’s literally what I am doing. QUARANTINE IS BORING AND I’M STARTING TO GO INSANE FROM NOT SEEING FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

But, since I am the most annoying human that always looks on the bright side of things I have to say not all of this quarantine is terrible.

I have been saving a sh*t ton of moooolah by not drinking in a bar every weekend and not driving to work (although I literally cannot wait to step foot in a bar and spend an absurd amount of money on one drink and cannot wait to be back in my office).

I have had constant sleepovers with my manmeat and so much one on one time. We learned how to make sausage which we both thought would be easy and it is NOT (P.S. if it smells Spanish it’s probably chorizo), he’s been pushing me to do these insane, jacked people workouts which I almost die doing every time and we’ve have had time to start hiking and we each even bought some super sexy hiking boots! (and if you’re wondering-nope, not sick of each other… I guess that’s a pretty good sign if I do say so myself 😉

I’ve had time to do the things I’ve been putting off- finish my best friends scrapbook, read my books that I bought 6 months ago, finish Netflix series that most society finished the week after they came out (onto Ozark right now), go through all my pictures and throw out old, unnecessary memories, and tonight I’m finally gonna attempt some yoga (pray for me).

So although I desperately wish I wasn’t seeing my friends, family, and boyfriends friends over a video chat, I keep reminding myself of how nice this quarantine actually is for getting my little things in order.

But hey- if you’re spending this quarantine doing literally nothing other than watching Netflix- all the power to ya!! I would enjoy doing that just as much, I’ll honestly get there at some point depending on how long we’re stuck inside for.

Alright soooo I received a comment to do some more random facts about myself so my readers can get to know me even more. Here’s a short little ‘thirteen thoughts’ to let you inside of Lex’s mind a little more.

Happy reading! Everyone stay safe and healthy and try not blow away in this wind tonight! xo

1. Do you fall right asleep every night?- A GIRL COULD DREAM! Mrs. Overthinker over here stays up probably a good 30-40 minutes past when I want to fall asleep thinking about the most ridiculous scenarios and/or playing back old memories. If a person falls right asleep every night they’re either drunk, sick, or are just plain weird.

2. What was your first car?- 2004 Kia Optima she was forest green and a stick shift- made me fall in love with standards so much that my first car I leased was a standard

3. Do you have a nerdy side?- This may or may not come as a shock but I am a super nerd. Give me anything historical, give me a documentary, give me Harry Potter and Star Wars.

4. Top five holidays in order- Halloween, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Fourth of July (weird, I know).

5. Coffee or tea?- Both! I have a cup of green tea every morning (pomegranate or lemon are my go-to’s) and have a cup of coffee sometimes in the middle of the day depending on how frisky I’m feeling

6. What is the first thing you notice about people? Their smile/teeth!! I love a good smile.

7. When was the last time you cried?- On Saturday during my Nonnie’s birthday parade 😦 nothing worse than seeing her cry because she just wanted to spend her day with her family.

8. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?- 100%. I live by being someone that I would want to meet. I strive to make people laugh, feel content with being themselves, and being trustworthy- definitely a person I would befriend and actually, most of my friends are like this.

9. What’s one goal you wish to accomplish by this time next year?- Doing an unassisted pull-up and I just added being able to do a head stand to that list also.. high hopes but manmeat is teaching me!

10. Do you listen to a whole song or keep switching to different ones?- Yikes.. Manmeat hates this answer. I have a tendency to switch when the song is almost over. I am always searching for something that fits the mood I’m in. Like I cannot listen to booty shakin’ Diplo dance music when it’s dreary and I’m driving and want to pretend to be in a music video… duh…

11. Taking pictures or living in the moment?- I am the queen of taking pictures. I even print them all out and have them stored under my bed. I think a person can live in the moment and capture it at the same time. A picture is one click of a button and then that memory is saved forever.

12. Getting drunk or staying sober?- oooooooh… well, well, well… I’m somewhere in the middle. I love a good sober night cuddling on the couch, sipping a tea and being a grandma but I also love staying up till 3 am jamming out to music and finishing a whole case of Truly’s.

13. Laying on the beach tanning or swimming in the ocean?- I love feeling my skin get nice and tan but there has to be a happy-medium. I love jumping in the waves and getting saltwater in my hair. If you’re boring and don’t wanna mess up your hair and makeup.. you’re missing out on life.
