P..P..Pinteresting!

Word, it's that day again! Oh How Pinteresting Wednesdays!! I really like this day, and I really love me some pinteresting. It's kinda a problem. :) 

And we are off! 

I would completely 100% do this... if I had any kind of patience for it. Bummer. It's adorable.

This is so accurate for both me and UH that it's funny. I love this. 

I can't wait to give this a try. I think I am may make a button with it!! Photoshop, you better watch out, one day I may just figure you out! :)

The irony right?! The funny thing is, I threaten to squeeze things to death because they are so cute. For example, I squish UH's face and puppies faces too. :) 

I would really love a piece of that cake. It's so pretty too! 

I am so guilty of thinking to much, this hits the spot. UH says I make things to stress about if I don't have any valid reasons! haha

 The caption reads: "Sea otters hold hands when they sleep, so they don't drift away from each other." Priceless.

 This is so stinkin' cute, I want to dress my husband like that... but I think it may just be weird. 

Lastly, I want this shirt. I want it!! It's a men's Ralph Lauren shirt... and I can't find it ANYWHERE. Boo

What did yall find on Pinterest this week?!

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!

Happy Work Week!

Yes, you read right, I just wished everyone a Happy Work Week! :) 


Sometimes it's good to look back on sadder days/moments/historical events, because it really can ground us. It's easy to forget all the millions of things we are thankful for sometimes, and revisiting tragic events can remind us of all those things we are grateful for again. I think it's an everyday struggle to really remain aware and focused on the things we have vs. the things we do not. I'm going to try harder every single day to not take them for granted. 


I was complaining about unloading the dishwasher once and my Dad reminded me that he didn't have one. He asked if I was grateful for my dishwasher. I replied that I most certainly was and it would stink to be without (wash all those dishes by hand... what?!)... to which he replied, "If you were really grateful for it, would you be complaining about unloading it?" Talk about insert foot, but it was something that has stuck with me... I try not to complain about unloading the dishwasher now, it sounds so silly. 


Today I feel like this:

Even after 16 ounces of (almost black) this:

At least I'm alive, life is good. 

The day after.

Alright ladies, let's talk. Or maybe I should say, I need to talk.


Let me explain. It's football season. That should explain enough, right? No further explanation needed? Just in case, I'll go on. 

^^^ is the reason for my misery. 


I am not one of those girls who loves football, not even a little bit, not even at all. I understand why some chicas love college football, and I have to say, I do enjoy college football. I mean, you really don't watch college football alone... you invite people over, you go out, your party hard and watch football, sounds fun. It's a different story for NFL at our house. 


When I first started dating UH it was Spring, no football, and it was glorious. Every Sunday was our day. I'm a spoiled brat and I love my husband time. Hands down, favorite day of the week. UNTIL football time rolled around. UH watches 11 hours of football on Sundays. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed, he is on the coach watching t.v. It's not a come and go and watch football thing either... it's a : No Talking, No Distractions, No Laughing, Go put on your jersey and get serious kinda day. You think I'm joking, but if I want to talk or speak to UH, I have to wait for a commercial or he sighs a huge sigh, pauses the t.v. waits for me to say what I have to say, then restarts the t.v. Sounds like the perfect man huh?

I love him enough to get past stupid football season. But every time football season starts, I have to mourn the lose of a loved one, my husband. Then sometime in February he re-surfaces.


Last night was the first game and I'm already having a hard time letting him go. I really don't want to be a whiny wife. I know my husband really loves football, so he should get to watch it. It's just difficult restructuring your life every 6 months to make way for football. 


So this is for you dear Husband, I miss you already ... 


Ladies, any suggestions on what to do with myself for the next 6 months, help!! 

"It's Ok" Thursdays!!

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but UH and I have a date night every Wednesday night. They have become a pretty regular thing and we typically don't miss one. In fact, a lot of my co-workers like to poke fun, because I hate missing one, but I think they are just jealous! :)


I would recommend it if you are considering it... for a couple of reasons. We do it mid-week, so it gives us a solid block of time to sit down, face to face, with each other and talk. It's also the only time during the week that we eat out, so it keeps eating out to a minimum and affordable, and lastly it gives us both something to look forward to mid-month. 


We take turns picking out restaurants and the opposite one pays. It doesn't really matter about who pays, but it's kinda fun. It makes things fun too, because if there is a restaurant that I don't particularly love that he does, he can pick it! It works out great for us. Last night it was Hooters though, bleh. I'm not a big fan of wings, and they seem to have little us that isn't fried that speaks to me! :) I lived though. 

I thought I would link up for It's Ok Thursdays!! 

So... It's Ok...

To sleep in an extra 20 minutes and miss our shower... I don't smell!

To check the 10 day forecast daily to make sure that 100 degree weather isn't going to rear it's ugly head around these parts again... and then be disappointed to see it in the forecast.

To have a purse addiction, I LOVE purses. 

To prefer online shopping to in store shopping because I love opening boxes. 


That I went into the Michael Kors outlet and did not make a purchase. 


That I usually only put make-up on for special work occasions and going out with UH.


That I am skipping tonight's boot camp and running and doing weights instead.


That football starts tonight, I'll find something else to do! :)

Don't panic if you can't feel your eye...

As strong as it seems, those were words my dentist uttered to me this morning. Don't panic if your eye is numb and you can't feel it, it's normal. Of course guess what reaction that led to, mild panic. 


I would love to tell you guys today is a better day then yesterday, and I actually think I can. See yesterday I was sick and stressed about having cavities filled. Today I am sick and not stressing about cavities due to the fact that they have already been filled. I love my dentist and everyone who works there, but I do not by any means like going to the dentist. My entire left side of my face was numb. I take that back, at first only 1/2 of the left side was numbed, until I started squealing cause it hurt. Which is when I found out she was trying to go light on the numbing stuff, but in fact... wasn't able to get away with it, which is when she numbed the other 1/2 of the left side of my face. Cavities were filled and I went off to work. I had to wait 4 hours to get some feeling back in my face, including my eye ball which DID go numb... talk about weird. So I drooled on myself a little bit and imitated a stroke patient because when the right side of my face smiled, the left side did.... not. Want to see proof?? It's pretty funny. 

Kindly ignore the fact that I am make-upless too. :) Hilarious huh?


Guess what else happened today?! Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday my loves!! 


Soooo, I linked up... I'm addicted!

Skinny Baked Potato Soup, yum right?!

Chocolate Chip Mini Cheesecakes, can you tell I'm hungry?!

I love this look. Luxurious, stylish, and comfy.... whhaaaaaat?!

I have a thing for peacoats and the color green, double whamy. 

New Zealand, please oh please oh please!!! 

This makes me think of the love of my life. I'm sick and all I want to do is go home and cuddle up into him... 

Lastly, I just like this quote. It makes me happy, and I'd say it's pretty true. ;)


Happy Pinning!!! 

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!!
