Hard to Swallow
Something I do that my sister’s hate is swallow really loudly. I feel so bad about it, because I’m annoyed by it as well. At times I fear swallowing loudly, for example at a movie, in a library, on a date, or at an extremely quiet yoga class. But, my fear of it only makes it worse. Because I try to not swallow for as long as possible, that when I finally decide to just go for it, it’s louder,...

My Last Home Remedy and Dr. Oz Post!
Lately I feel like all I do is Google homemade health remedies and try them. This weekend I took an Epsom salt bath per doctor Oz’s request. He told me it would get the toxins out of my body and relax me. So I bought some bath salt and got my bath ready. As I poured the bath salt into my tub I read the directions on the container telling me to sit in the bath for 20-30 minutes. “Okay, maybe it...

The other day, my daughter Eliza was in a store when a woman approached her.
“You know who you look like?” the woman asked. “That girl who has been all over the news. Amanda Knox. You know, the one who was in jail in Italy for murdering her roommate.”
Eliza and I agreed that is a textbook…

An Apple A Day Keeps the Doctor Away…I Hope Not
I’ve fallen in love with Dr. Oz. My friends and family don’t understand my love but I don’t care. All I know is that he’s there for me every day at 4 and available to answer all my health concerns any time of day on the Internet.
I’ve seen Dr. Oz twice in my life. The first time he was at a farmers market, eating an apple. The second time he was on an elevator, eating an apple. I didn’t say...
My Experience with Grapeseed Oil
This Saturday my feelings of boredom and dissatisfaction combined with my longing of change and adventure lead me down a destructive path for my hair, my confidence, and my sense of self. It all started, as most of my Saturday mornings do; Googling home remedies or vitamins for faster hair growth. As I read about the miraculous effects of grapeseed oil, there was no way I could resist it. As I...

A Dream of Passion
I have to watch this movie, “A Dream of Passion” for my class and I decided to google it and see exactly I would be getting myself into. I found this review:
“The powerfully riveting performances of Burstyn and Mercouri in this spell-binding tale of love and betrayal, acted out and reenacted in the timeless story of the theme in Euripides original story Medea, left me speechless...
Contests
Whenever I see something online for winning anything, money, clothes, a vacation. Even if I have to fill out some stupid survey, if there’s a chance I could win something I just have to do it. I know some people would say that it’s completely stupid and pointless. Well I don’t really care. Just trying gives me hope. Filling out a survey on Glamour.com probably took me about 35 minutes, but I don’t...
Hairtopia
I cut my hair last year and I really regret it. I miss my long hair. So I’ve been really focused on my hair growth lately. Like, really focused. During my free time, and I have a lot of free time I Look up vitamins and drugs that I can take to make my hair grow faster. At first I was just like. “it’s okay Eliza, it’s just normal procrastination. Don’t worry!” I started to feel really bad about it...
Sorry!
Dear blog,
I’m so sorry for leaving you the way I did. My departure from you was so abrupt. All I left you with was that commercial for gas-x. I’m so embarrassed. Well, I’m back now if you’re willing to have me in your life again. Something tells me that your kind heart will accept me once more. But, blog, you do have to admit you were pretty bitchy to me! You know what, forget it. Let’s just...

CVS: You're Gonna Love Me
So for the past three days I have been going on the same run and after I finish I stop at CVS and buy a drink. Also, for the past three days, I have worn basically the same running clothes. Come on, it’s not that gross, just the same pants and sweatshirt. I guess I’ve been feeling pretty self-conscious about it though, because last night I had a dream where I walked into CVS and picked up my...
Kill ‘em with Kindness
I don’t know what it is but these past two weeks everyone at my school has been impolite and unkind. For example, I have held the door for numerous people and not once have I gotten a “thank you” and I haven’t gotten the door held for me. So I’ve decided I’m gonna show these people kindness goddammit! I’m going to say please, thank you, you’re welcome and I’m going to smile constantly. I’m going...

Revenge is Sweet Mother Goose
Today I was running and two geese stepped right in front of me. Normally I might think this was cute, and I pretended to smile at the little kid who was laughing, but really I was scared and annoyed. First of all geese are pretty big and they have beaks, which are scary. Also by stepping in front of me the geese were forcing me to slow down, and they messed up my running rhythm. It was extremely...
Good News!
I finally got a package in the mail today. At first I thought it was just a book I ordered off of Amazon and I was like, boring! but it was so much better. It was everything I wanted and more. I got two hamantashen, which are cookies made specially for the Jewish holiday of Purim and were exactly what I wanted. Then I got more. I got Sunkist chewy candies, four Twizzlers, one package of hot...
Almond Joy
Today I bought a one-pound bag of almonds and I decided two things:
1) I want to be the only person to eat them.
2) From now on I will only purchase a one-pound bag of almonds.
This way when somebody asks me how many pounds of almonds I have eaten in my life I can give them an accurate answer.
Getting to Know the Real Me
I feel kind of weird about how things started between us. I just started writing my random thoughts I have throughout the day and I didn’t give you any information about my life. So now that’s what I plan to do.
B5 is my dad and G4 is my mom. They look young in real life these are just bad pictures. B4 is my older brother and B6 is my younger brother. They are the best brothers as girl could ask...
I've Got the Power
I noticed today that whenever it’s beautiful and sunny outside I’m in a great mood and when the weather is crappy I’m in a horrible mood. So the question is does the weather control my mood or does my mood control the weather?
Note to self
Stop saying blah di blah when explaining things. It’s especially annoying when followed by “ya know? Obviously they don’t know when you explained something with nonsense words. Also don’t buy any more highlighters from the school store. You have enough.
Educational and Fun!
This weekend I went to a dance and a concert, both at my school. The band was Akron Family http://www.myspace.com/akak and they were sooo good. Their style of music is really interesting, its kind of folk rock with some other styles mixed. There was a deejay at the dance and he mainly played techno and rap. One thing I learned was that basically no matter the music style, as long as their is good...
Shania You Don't Impress Me Much
The other day I heard the song “That Don’t Impress Me Much” by Shania Twain. Not only did I remember how much I loved that song in like 7th grade but also I remembered how stupid the lyrics were. Especially this:
Okay, so you’re Brad Pitt
That don’t impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don’t get me wrong, yeah I think you’re alright
But...

Shocked then not Amazed
Yesterday, after a long hard day of working in the library I get back to my room and check my email. To my surprise I have 5 new emails, which makes me happy enough because I love getting emails. To add to my joy 3 of the emails say that I have a package waiting for me in the post office. 3 packages!! I haven’t gotten one present since I’ve been at school, now I have 3. I immediately...
Step it up Google
I think one of the most annoying things is having the tune of a song stuck in your head but being unable to figure out the song, because there’s no way to google a tune.
Lattes and Train Rides: A Deadly Combination
The other day I was on the train going home. I bought a soy latte before boarding knowing very well and accepting the fact that I ran the risk of having to go to the bathroom on the train. I had one more stop until mine when I decided I couldn’t wait any longer, I really had to go. So I get up and walk towards the bathroom and this lady blocks me and is like “No you don’t want to...
Cat got your tongue
I never understood the appeal with picture calendars of cats and or dogs. Both of my roommates have them and the more I look at them the weirder they seem. One of my roommate’s calendars has a picture of two kittens in a coffee mug and whenever I look at it I just imagine this crazy photographer being like “two kittens on a calendar have been done before we need something more, something to make...

My first Post!
I don’t know what to say, I’ve never had a blog before. I guess I’ll start my very first post by thanking my big brother Jake for helping me set up my tumblr. Thank you Jake now the world can hear all my thoughts. I know your all excited!
I decided to start my blog the night of the lunar eclipse that way everyone will remember the night Eliza Hurwitz started her blog.
