Everything is Ok.

I promised to check in, and I'm following through. 

So to explain my life "crisis" that I was all panicky about, I had to have a minor surgery. It was no big deal, honestly, but I had never had to go "under" before and I was really freaking out. I've got this goofy fear of the "unknown". That isn't exactly what it sounds like either. I guess you could say, it's more of a fear of not knowing what to expect. For example, I'm afraid of touching a snake because I have never done it before... therefore; I don't know what the skin feels like or what kind of texture to expect. It works that way with all kinds of things.

Sometimes I have BIG issues with my fear, sometimes I don't. For example, I zip lined in Alaska, no problem. I just told myself to get over and jump on, and that's what happened. However, going "under" for a surgery seemed like a much big deal. Good news is, I'm still alive, and I was worked up for days for... no reason... go figure.

I understood that complications were very, very, rare... but I still could have been that .01% ya know? I at least didn't want to rule it out, and wanted to be prepared for the worse. Would you believe me if I told you I'm really not a pessimist? haha

Anyways, all is ok, and I'm just recovering... boo.

Slurpee.

I've missed you!

Hello loves! I'm sorry I skipped yesterday. I thought about skipping today, but I didn't want to let yall down two days in a row.

I just haven't been into it. I take that back. I have just had other issues on my mind... pressing issues. I'm dealing with some irrational fears of mine tomorrow morning and frankly, I'm terrified. I mean, can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, jittery, hard to breath, full on panic. Let's just say if you hear from me tomorrow or Saturday, we are all good. I'm pretty sure I'm just being crazy, but I am ready to get this show on the road and be done with it already. I will fill you all in soon... hopefully.

In other news... actually, I don't think I know any other news, I've just been spacey. I really wish I had something interesting for you.

UF has been AH-MAZING. He still hasn't read anything about the previous post when I dared him to read it and say something...nothing! haha I'm sure he will be a full-time reader at some point... just not yet? Either way he has been so sweet. I have been having a hard time sleeping (as previously mentioned) and I can tell when I catch him semi-awake in the middle of the night and tend to make statements like, "I can't sleep" thereby waking him completely up. When this has happened the past two nights, he gets up, gets me water, and then even gives me sleeping tips (one of which worked at 5:00 AM this morning). 100% the love of my life that one is.

Since tomorrow is Friday, I'm guessing everyone is gearing up for the weekend?! I've gotten so many great invites this weekend, it's so lame I'm out of commish. BOO. I should have a decent weekend either way, I'll have to explain it all to you tomorrow. Until then, love yous!

4 Months Today!

Can yall believe it?! I know I can't! I won’t lie, I'm starting to stress a little about what we've got left to do. I am by now means a procrastinator, in fact, I am a planner... but I am starting to feel a little bit behind. Four months just doesn't seem that far off... ya know?!

Oh how time flies. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to say "I do", but there is so much to do!! I think I am just going to think about it in terms of days, and then I can take it day by day... and based that means of measurement I have 122 more days to go. That seems better eh?

I just need to get back on the wedding bandwagon and start marking of those "to do's" again. Thankfully I hoped on that bandwagon full force in the beginning and knocked a lot of it out. In fact, I think I've got all my vendors; I just need to focus on decor and details. I also know I have some killer bridesmaids and moh who would love to jump on the decor and details with me!! Maybe with some Vodka incentive? Vodka tasted everything better right?!

I forgot... I don't like Spring.

Here I was thinking that I couldn't wait for the weather to warm up and Spring to arrive and casually turn into Summer, when that isn't true at all!! 

I would actually be really grateful we could just skip Spring altogether. While you guys might think of the following as Spring:

AND THIS...

 I am DOING this:

 In fact, I can't believe I actually made Zumba tonight. I have sneezed at least 20 times today. I have resorted to blowing my nose (like a gross giant elephant) and looking at the guys who work for me and saying "I know, I'm sexy" ... cause they are all staring at me grossed out. Hey, I can't help it, thank goodness the man I am marrying knows about this Spring problem and still loves me. 

I remember the first Spring UF and I made it through Spring he made a comment like, "Can you just stop doing that already?" haha NO Thank goodness he has Fall allergies. 

So while I'm not looking forward to a hot or long Summer, I am looking forward to Spring being over. I could think of much worse thing than a long Summer (more fun in the sun fools!). I just hope make it out of Spring alive!! Bleh. 

Anyone else have some miserable allergies?!

The birds are singing.

Thus far it would seem that April is going to be a good month. I may have mentioned my love of the month April yesterday, but I forgot another reason I love it. Yes, it just happens to be my birth month, but along with that fact comes another added bonus.... month of birth coupons and free meals!! My favorite, the elusive $20.00 gift card from Vera Bradley and $10.00 gift card from Victoria Secret, yes please!!

My month got started on the right foot. I had previously purchased a Temptu Airbrush system from Sephora in January... yes, it cost $280.00 plus tax.

Sephora

 I have been looking at that sucker for months decided whether or not I would use it. I finally earned enough money on a gift card from work (they load it a couple of times a month for different things), so I didn't feel so bad about buying it, I wasn't actually out of the money... technically. I use it occasionally, but not every day, and I am working the kinks out for the wedding (hopefully). Then, yesterday, I got an e-mail from Sephora advertising the exact kit for $165.00!! I was fuming. I despise missing "the" sale. I was thinking about how if I had purchased it on my American Express (which I didn't have then) they would be refunding me the difference. Then I thought, hey... I might as well check out there return policy. Turns out you can return an item within 90 days for a store credit. I made my purchase on January 6th... turns out I had a couple days left. I called the online support and they said, you can't return it without a box and we can't just refund you the difference, but call the store, they might be able too. Feeling a little frustrated I did. They said, sure we can return it, but the new pricing in online only. Money is money, so I figured I'd return it then order the new one online and save $130.00... even if they will only give it to me in store credit. So I ran home and brought it into the store (no box). What happened next surprised me! They let me keep my system (which is basically brand new) and just refunded me the difference, to my card! Score!! So if you asked me, I would definitely recommend Sephora!


Sorry for the product placement, but I didn't review the system, so it doesn't count! Moral of the story, always check out the return policy or just put it on an Amex card! They refund the difference in price of purchased item if it goes down anytime that year! Awesome right?


In other April news, the weather is AH-MAZING, and I'm OFF. It finally worked out in my favor folks! Plus I got an 1 1/2 of Zumba in plus another 30 minutes of strength training and I am off to start the rest of my day! Hard part done? Check!

P.S. - I accidentally went backwards a page and thought I lost EVERYTHING! I wouldn't have started over (sorry) , so thank goodness it saved! See, it's the month of April! 

Like Totally... Oh.Em.Gee

Friday again? Yesterday felt like Friday, but obviously it wasn't... which means I gotta do it all over again today. That's ok cause guess what I'm excited about?!

It's APRIL!!! I hope we got some nice, lovely April showers too. It is the month of my birth as well. I think, overall, it's just a pretty decent month. It also means a fresh start at working, seeing as I work in the stinkin' retail world. Fresh starts are usually good, unless you're having a killer month... in which case you know they don't last forever, so you want the month to be over before something ruins it! Right? Ha! 

The other good news, I survived Boot Camp last night!! It was pretty insane and I am sore. I'm a weirdo and I enjoy being sore... that way I know that I did in fact torture my body last night! :)

What do yall think about all the heat the "Friday" song girl is taking? Personally, I think ... if you don't like it, don't listen to it. She is only so popular because we are all going to YouTube to play the song... come on! Cut the girl some slack, yeah? Personally, I think it's a pretty catchy song! If you'd like to think I'm shallow and compare me to a 12 year old girl, you may do so! :) In fact, it may just be a perfect Friday theme song!
