Woah, all of that in one sitting?!

Do you ever find yourself wishing that your favorite bloggers would most something like 3 posts a day!? I do. Now, I completely understand how unrealistic that is... I have a hard time with one post a day. I think I feel this way though, because I am so nosy. Even if I don't know you, I want to know what's going on in your life. What beauty products do you recommend?? Raves? Rants? What'd you buy this weekend?! I guess if those are the things I love so much, I should consider writing something like that huh?

 

I really wanted to participate on Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday.... BUT I get so picky about what pins I want to share with yall, that I missed out. I mean, I'm not hiding pins from you or anything, I just don't want to post lame ones....? Weirdo, right?

 

I have a confession. I have not been as strict this week about my diet as I have been. The past 2-3 weeks I have been a Nazi about what goes in my mouth. I mean, we went 4 wheeling Saturday, and I made chicken breast sandwiches and brought fruit... there were no chips, anywhere. To top that off, our friends fried chicken poppers, fries, and corn balls, and I only had 2 fries. Dedication. This week, not so much. Not I wouldn't call it a complete train wreck, but I haven't been that strict. I would say I've gone over my max caloric intake by 100-200 calories a day probably. I'm not upset about it though, it happens... especially the week before that time of the month. Normally the week before that happens, I will eat everything in sight. I'm talking cookie monster kinda problems. While dieting and working out, I always try and remember one important phrase, "You can try again tomorrow". I think it's important to remember that you ate what you ate, don't beat yourself up about, try again tomorrow. It keeps me sane.

 

I'm on track today. This is what I ate...

 

 

 Side note: There is only ONE noodle left. I obviously forgot to take a picture when it may have looked more appetizing. Oops!

 

Smart Ones Baked Ziti. I love Smart Ones. Best frozen meals ever, and only 300 calories!! I am trying Amy's tomorrow though. They are all organic and gluten free. I will have to let you know how I feel about those.

 

Also, I got this fortune in my fortune cookie yesterday.

 

 

 

For realz?!!? Have I told yall how badly I want to get out of TX and into NH?! Seriously unlikely that it happens this year though. Pshhh, I'll keep dreaming.



New and still in progress.

Hey yall!! 

Notice anything a little bit different?! Yep, that's right blog redesign. I'm doing it myself so it's taking a little time. 

I'm currently working on a blog header. I wont lie, I'm no pro at this, so it's a work in progress. Hang in there though, hopefully it'll be good. 

I'm exhausted today. I didn't really do anything out of the norm, just tired. I worked 10 hours (that's average), worked out for 1 1/2 hours (pretty semi-norm), came home, ate dinner, cleaned kitchen, took the dogs for a walk. Now all I want to do is chill. 

That being said, that's basically what I'm doing. :) 

However, I have also painted my nails a total of 3 times tonight. I'm pretty sure I've been driven insane. That means, paint all 10 nails....remove, paint all 10 nails.... remove, paint again... keep. I tried to different color crackle paints I bought.... my opinion, skip em. It just looked streaky. Bleh. 

Guess what?! Tomorrow is date night.... AND it's my turn!! Holla!

At least it's not Monday.

I wouldn't describe today as a bad day, but I would describe it as a blah day. That's about how I feel. 


I will admit I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Normally for me that means I have been a grumpy pants all day long, but that isn't true. I have been kinda nostalgic and bleh, but not the good kind of nostalgic. It doesn't help that I'm 1/2 sick either though. I woke up this morning in the middle of a dream, which means I remembered it. That is unfortunate because it was about a group of old friends, basically who I no longer talk to. I would talk to them, but they wont talk to me... it's a long and sad story that I'm not going to go into details about. It is also day number 2 with a sore throat and runny nose and just feeling worn out. I know that has to mean I'm 1/2 sick because I just had a very relaxing (mostly) 4 day weekend folks. 


I also forgot my gym bag at the house this morning, which means no Zumba for me today. Bummer. Seeing as the weather is gorgeous today though, I think I will take the pups for a walk with UH when I get home. For me going to the gym isn't really because I feel I have too, I go because I need to. It really keeps me normal. I've had a hard time getting back into my normal 4-5 day a week groove though, and I feel slightly blobish.... grosss. 


As far as good news... I guess?... I heard the Pumpkin Spiced Latte just launched at Starbucks. I'm not actually sure if that is good news seeing as I've never tried one though. I've just heard so so many good things about them, that I'm excited to try one. 

Yuuum, right?! 


In other positive news, our high here in Texas today is a whopin' 84 degrees! Holla!! We went from 102 to 84. I'm haven't actually let myself believe for a second that this weather is going to stick around though, because it is pretty likely it can/will/may get back up into the 100's again this year. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the break!


Want to see two work essentials I'm enjoying today? I got the Aladdin water bottle on clearance at Target for 3.24 and the pen I brought from home. It's the simple things in life I enjoy! :)

Hope yall had a nice loooong weekend!! 

Woah is Me.

Hi blog friends!

I have a confession, this may be a little pathetic, I may be wallowing in self-pity, but I think I'm dealing with questions a lot of people have to ask themselves at some point... 

What in the world do I want to do with my life?!

I guess I should really be asking, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" Except that I'm mostly already grown up. 

I wish I would have come up with an answer to that question as a kid and stuck with it, but "princess" won’t get me too far! haha 

Options aren't my problem. I am fortunate enough to be able to keep all my doors open, mostly, but I don't know where to start. I have about 2 years of college under my belt, but if I continue with it I really have to buckle down and jump in... no more of this part time stuff. However, I'd like to have a direction to jump... because college may not be required for the direction I want. 

UH has been pushing me to start my own business, but I feel like such a schizo... I want to do everything, and I don't think I can do EVERYTHING really REALLY AMAZINGLY well. Do you know what I mean??

Maybe I should have just titled this "brain dump", sigh... thanks for listening friends!

Brain Dump Day.

Thanks for being willing participants in today's brain dump. 

Ugh. 

Now that I am... we are... less than 2 months away from the BIG day... I'm getting anxious. No, I did not say nervous, I said anxious. Things need to get done and time is running out. If you know me, you know I'm a planner and organizer, so yes, I generally have things under control... but I'm so afraid of the things I might forget and therefore NOT plan!! 

-The girls need to get dresses. 
- I need to pack and ship everything to NH. 
- I still need  my wedding dress to arrive. 
- Then I need said dress altered.
- No idea what jewelry I am wearing. Do I want pearls/diamonds/nothing???
- Wedding music needs to be picked out. 
- I'll just stop here with the "to-do's"


Also, I want my hat to arrive... 

I got one in black with white script... however, I did the smart thing and got my NEW last name initialed on it... so even after it arrives, I have to wait to wear it!!! haha Go figure, there was no right answer! 

I.WANT.THESE. 
Here is the story: I was going to purchase these shoes and decided to wait, to make sure that I really really wanted them. I decided that I do, but now they are out of stock EVERYWHERE. Boo. If you find them, I need a size 7... k thanks! 


I have a make-up trial this weekend for the wedding, and we are going to see our jeweler to get our wedding bands!! I am so excited about picking up our wedding bands. Woohoo!
