I really suck at this 31 days of blogging stuff. Sorry. It's a lot of planning and I'm not a good planner. Obviously. =) Procrastination is key.

Only 3 more work days until I get to go on vacation. I'll be in Dallas ready to see Kenny with the wife, auntie, and auntie's best friend. Woot.

I also signed up  for a swap a couple days ago. It's hosted by Angie and Beth from Chaotic Goddess Swaps. It's the Itty Bitty Beauty Swap! I had to stay away from swaps for a little bit because I was trying to save money. But I love beauty stuff! Especially makeup. So this one sounded amazing!

Sign ups are still open! 

I decided that I will participate in today's #BlogEveryDayInMay topic. Today it's about "the things you're most afraid of." Well I'm afraid of a lot of shit. Thank you anxiety. But here's some big ones.

1. Being boxed in by semis on the highway/interstate. 

Seriously that scares the living shit out of me. Most of those drivers are crazy as fuck. Don't pretend that you haven't almost been run over/off the road by one. And then there's the whole Final Destination factor that the stuff they're hauling could come off and cause a huge accident and kill everybody around. True story.

2. Frogs 

Eff that shit. They're disgusting little amphibians devils. I hate them. They make me cry. 

3. Losing the people I love.

Like this runs through my head way more than it should. I'm always going "But what if.....something....happens to...person..." And it's scary. Super scary. 

And these are the things that legit make my heart stop beating. Of course I have my irrational fears too but that list would go on all day! 

Well, I've gotta start packing. I know we're not leaving until Friday but I work doubles tomorrow and Thursday. Friday I have a business expo to go to with my momma. I don't know if you guys have ever been to one but if not I highly recommend it. All the free pens and notepads you could ever want! I'll blog about it next week. 

Party People

Two posts in one day...why of course. I mean it's this day:

Of course I have to blog again!

This may have been read before my other post of the day, and if you missed that shit, go back and read it. Pure gold.

Anyway...I was gonna post all the fun drinks I wanna try I'm gonna try this summer. But pinning shit from pinterest is a pain in the ass anymore. Get your shit together pinterest people. You made it way to hard to share our pins on our blogs.

So...now I'm sitting here thinking of what to talk about now. I've still got nothing. So here are some of my favorite party pictures. These are near and dear to my heart. And they say so much about my amazing group of friends.

Notice a theme? I like to make the kissy face/duck face when I've been drinking. And on that note...I need to get drunk soon. Plan. 

Look What I Can Do.

So the challenge for today is

"Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)"

Shit. I have to think of something I'm good at. 

Hmmm...

Everything I've thought of is really not serious. So deal with it. I'm gonna educate you on two things because they are my two favorite things. 

First off, I'm great at watching tv. All that's needed is a tv and a couch (or whatever you want to sit on). But a tv is necessary. Not necessary but very handy items include a DVR, a blanket, and a remote. I use all of the above. First you plop your ass down on your sitting device, from here on out this will be referred to as the couch. Grab your remote and turn the tv on. If you have a DVR and there is nothing on, just watch something recorded. After you pick out your show just watch it. Tune out your kids/hunnie/yippity yappity dog. And just watch the damn tv. Make sure you fast forward through the commercials if you can. Until the commercial for the Great Gatsby or the AT&T commercials with the kids come on. Then watch those. Not the rest though. And you can spend quite sometime on the couch watching tv. Easy peasy. 

And my next favorite activity that I consider myself good at is cussing. I'm a pro. I mean, I just told somebody to STFU while watching tv. Because when I asked what I was good at they replied "everything!" Vomit. Cussing is an activity that can either be hard or really easy. I find it easy. Just don't work too hard on whatever word you're gonna use. Don't think about it, just say whatever comes out of your mouth. If you have to think about what word you want to use, you're doing it wrong. True fuckin' story. Yeah, I did that one on purpose. They also have to serve purpose. It sounds stupid to say I had a shitty day when you have a happy tone in your voice. Make sure you get the inflection right. 

I don't really play video games but I do play SongPop. And yes, when I select the wrong song, this is what I sound like. I'm intense about it.

It's May??

Today is the day! May 1rst. That means that starting today I'm starting my "better choices lifestyle". I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks so I think that I am ready.

I can't handle being at the size that I am. It just makes me so unhappy. I have a lot of clothes that I would love to fit better and I'm ready to wear them! I wanna look hot this summer. And for the rest of my life.

As for eating, well, I'm not going on a diet persay but I am picking better choices. I won't be eating out as much. And when I do go out I won't pick my favorite heart attack from the menu anymore. It'll be smething that's a bit better for me. That means no more shrimp and parmesan sirloin from Applebees. Now it'll just be a plain steak (i know, not the best but it's Applebees) with two sides of broccoli. No more mashed potatoes.  And I'm giving up soda. I'm starting with just one a day but eventually hope to cut it out all together. My portion sizes are also going to be smaller. I've already started this and I can definitely tell a difference in how much I can eat. Last night I had a bowl of soup at work and I felt like I just ate a whole entree. I was stuffed. I realized that eating like the boy wasn't doing me any good. Ahh the joys of relationships right.

I'm also going to be exercising every day regardless of if I feel like it or not. I plan on doing Nikki's 30 miles in 30 days. I was talking to the fabulous Jordan about it and she said that I could even crawl if I needed to. lol. I thought "Do bar crawls count?" ;) I know that I can do this. And I hope to be able to run a mile straight through at the end of May. I know that I won't be in town from the 10-13 but I can make up for the days that I miss. And I also found this and want to try it too.

I know I can do this. And I'm super pumped about it. My goal is to lose two dress sizes by the end of the year. I know that's a long time but I make mistakes and I'm taking them into account here. So let's do it!





And one last thing, I want to participate in this 
I know that today was supposed to be my story and I think that this counts as my story for now. I'm excited that she gave us prompts because honestly I can't blog everyday without any! See ya tomorrow. 

When I'm Famous

Happy Monday y'all! It's my day off. Ahhhhh. lol. Work wasn't bad this weekend. Some drama got started that involves me, which is stupid because I don't even really talk to anybody at work. And that reason is exactly why. We hung out with some friends Saturday night and I felt like shit Sunday night. Not a hangover though. Just sickly. And there's your weekend recap. I really really don't like them. If I give an actual weekend recap with pictures and everything, well then I had a super duper ultra mega awesome weekend. Like the one I'll have in two weeks. Holla!

Anyway, I was watching something on Fuse about Beyonce and last night the boy and I were talking about Jay-Z. And all this talk of the two got me thinking about who my our celebrity couple friends would be. Let's get started.

Blake and Miranda

I picked this pic because then we'd be friends with Kid too. Saweet!

I mean, who doesn't want to be best friends with these two. And they are certainly like us. They like nothing better than some barbecue and some beers. I just can't. I can't. I love em so much.


Jay-Z and Beyonce

Who runs the world? They do. Beyonce just said girls to make everybody feel better. True story. She told me. Although I don't think we'd have a lot in common, we would still hang. Front and center at basketball games. And our kids would be best friends forever. We would help them take over the universe, not that they need much help.

Steven and Anna 

These two...I mean she's gorgeous and he seems like a cool dude. We love True Blood and they are True Blood. Can't complain. When we'd hangout we'd drink some blood red drinks and invite Alexander Skarsgard over. True story. I think I say that a lot. 

Willie and Korie 

Ummm of course! And the entire Robinson clan too. We love them. I'd let her take me shopping and the boy would love to hunt with them. And of course Sunday night dinner...I couldn't resist Miss Kay's cooking. 

Erin and Whitney

If I'm famous than obviously these two will already have been for many years. This one benefits me more than the boy. Oh well! They could teach me all their fun ways and make me drink fireball even though I hate cinnamon with a passion. And it might be creepy for including them in this post but I just love them that much. 

And I'd have a big old barbecue and invite everybody. We'd have a great time. Don't worry, when the time comes you'll be invited too because I love your faces. 

See ya tomorrow cupcakes. Peace 

Friday Favs!

Happy Friday! I hope y'all have wonderful weekends and all that good stuff. I know that I plan on relaxing and working. And that's it!

I talked a little yesterday about how I was feeling lost. Not really sad, just lost. Well, I felt a lot better after I blogged. I guess that's just what my life was missing. I still feel a little weird but blogging brought back some of my happiness. So thank you all so much for being here to read some of my thoughts.

Today I want to do Friday Favs. I don't know if there's a link up somewhere for this kinda thing so if there is, let me know pleassse.

1. Baby Lips - Peach Kiss

I wasn't interested in getting one of these. However, I was sent one in a swap and of course I had to use it. Now I LOVE it. And the peach is my fav because of the color. I'm trying to find a good nude color and so far I like this one. 

2. Rose Gold Eyeshadow

{source}

I adore this shade right now. I've bought 10 eyeshadows in the past week just trying to find the perfect shade. Yes, 10. I have a problem. I can't help it. Ok, maybe I can but I don't wanna. When I pick an eyeshadow color I cling on to it for as long as I can. And then I find a new one. Last time it was a silver/black/grey smoky eye. Now I have no urge for that and I have a billion of those shades. 

3. Puppies

I'm currently on a puppy high from last weekend. Yes, I did do something last weekend and I will tell you all about it next week since I failed and didn't say anything this week. Look at those nuggets. How can you not love them? My dad is fostering them and their 6 brothers/sisters and momma. 

4. Song Pop 

Seriously, have you played this?? If not, you should. It's fun and brings out my super competitive side. You select the category of songs you want and you can always buy more categories (and unlike other apps/games you don't have to use your real hard earned money!). They have anything from pop to workout to 1920's-50's pop. ANYTHING. My username is clovermarie. If you want my e-mail instead, just comment and I'll let you get it. Come play with me!

5. Thunder Storms 

*not my picture* 

We've had some rain here lately. And by some I mean a lot. I don't like just rain. I feel that if it's gonna rain it needs to thunder and lightning and down pour. True story. And today it is. Happiness. I almost prefer grey skies over the sun some days. 

And since it's Friday, and I am blogging, I have to link up with Fabulous Ms. Yoga Pants

This week I'm feeling like some Luke Bryan is in store. I picked Crash my Party because it's up with Drunk on You for my favorite song of his. I just love it!

Happy Weekend Cupcakes!

Snap Yo Fingaz!

I'm back! 

Did you guys miss me? I missed you. A whole bunch. And it's been a whole week since I've blogged. I just feel like I have nothing to talk about. Everything I think about posting seems really whiny and I don't know about you guys but I feel like I whine a lot and you probably get tired of it. It's just that I have so much stuff going through my head and I don't know what to do about any of it. It's a mess. I haven't been depressed in the "can't-get-up-just-want-to-cry" kinda way. I just feel lost. And it's not a pleasant feeling. 

Anyway, I came back today to talk about partying with Stephanie. I used to do it all the time, and it was so much fun. lol. Now I'm lazy and like to stay at home. But I thought I would put together another list of my favorite songs because that seemed to be a hit. These songs are the ones that make me wanna get up and go out. 

1. Back That Azz Up - Juvenile

Well duh, I think this gets any person ready to go out. 

2. Wear My Ring - Bart Crow Band

I don't know why this songs gets me all pumped up, but it does. I love it. lol.

3. Porn Star Dancing - My Darkest Days

I know I put this song as one of my favorite songs on my phone, and it really is a good song to sget started to. If you can stand still and not move just a little bit when his song is on, there's something wrong with you!

4. Cowboy - Kid Rock

Yes, Kid Rock gets me all pumped up. This would be my stripper song if I would have ever become one. And it probably was in my past life.

5. Walk It Out - DJ Unk

This song came out when I was in high school and I loved it. I still love it. It makes me wanna shake it and pretend that I know how to walk it out. Which - I don't.

6. Snap Yo Fingers - Lil Jon

Another old school song. What can I say, older stuff is a lot better than most of the stuff they have now. Yup.

I'm gonna leave this list on a weird number. I like it. What do you listen to when you're getting ready/pregaming? Anything I need to hear?
