Evolving

Do I get the award for most sporadic blog posting? I feel like I should.

I just seem to be actually living my life lately. I think about being here, but the moments have been more important than the internet. I'm really trying to find myself in terms of this blog. I don't know where I want it to go. I've been interested in a different kind of blog than I'd normally find myself reading.

I guess as I grow and develop I want this blog to grow and develop too. I feel like I need to find out who I am and what I should write about. I'll always be a lifestyle blog, but now it feels like the lifestyle I'm used to writing about is changing into a different kind. I don't feel that any of this is bad, I just don't know what to write.

Changes are always scary for me. I like everything to be the same as it was the day, week, month before it was. And sometimes it gets boring and monotonous, but then it isn't. When I do make a change with something I worry about if it's the right choice.

The topics that once seemed important to me, now aren't that much of a care. But the topics I feel are important just seem to personal to share. I never know how much is too much when it comes to telling the interwebs.

Life, it's a crazy thing.

Have you ever felt that your moments were moments that shouldn't be shared?

Fall TV

Well, I showed up for class twice this week. SURPRISE!! I've had a couple of thing I wanted to talk about but it's Friday and they aren't for Fridays. So, you get my favorite fall tv shows. This could be long because I love me some tv.

I'm linking up with Melissa for her October Blogging Challenge.

The New Kids

Gotham

I wasn't sure how this show was going to be. I like Batman and all but I didn't really think it was about Batman. Just about Gotham. Well, it's awesome as hell. I watched the first episode last night and I really enjoyed it. Plus there's some eye candy in it as well. You might remember him from the O.C. Seriously though, it's hard not to think of him as Ryan. Somethings you never grow out of. A little fun fact for you, one of my most favorite things about any Batman movie, is Alfred. I love Alfred. I don't know why, I just do. And he's in Gotham too. =) 

Bad Judge

Ok, so the first episode wasn't on until last night, but I still loved it. We all wish that as adults we could act like hot messes and still get our job done. We can't. But Judge Rebecca still manages to get it to work for her. Critics are saying this show sucks and it won't be on much longer. We'll see. Until then, I'll enjoy living vicariously through her.

The Tried and True

Sons of Anarchy

We're in the last season of this motorcycle club drama. And Jax is gonna find out who killed his wife. Even if he has to kill the whole town of Charming. Sorry for the spoiler. I forget that not everybody is watching live. The first three episodes of the season we're slow, but this weeks lit the whole season on fire. Mr. Sutter, the show's writer, finally brought back some of the humor too. I'll probably go jump off a bridge when the show is over. I won't know what to do without my trusty MC every week. Then there's Gemma. I'm not gonna lie, I was always Team Gemma. I couldn't stand Tara. But now the woman has lost her ever loving mind and is really hard to like. 

Parenthood

Again, another show in it's last season. Which makes me sad. I love shows about families. And this one makes me cry every week. What's not to love? The family problems seem like actual problems people would have. If you need a good cry, and then something to make you feel better, this is the show for you.

That's all I got today. What are your favorite fall shows? Anything you think I should be watching?

Life Lately, by the Numbers

Man, it's been a minute since I've been here. I thought I'd update you on what life is like over in these parts of the woods.

But first, let me say, I read blogs all day long, I just don't comment very often anymore. If I can ever get myself back into blogging regularly, then maybe I'll comment more. Anyway, here we go...oh yeah, first, this idea was taken from Elle at elle, ink. Ok, we're good to go...

3 - Bridal Expos I've been to in the last two weeks. My mind is overwhelmed. Stuff is so pretty but also so pricey. Unfortunately, I didn't win anything from them. Sad face.

654816 - times I've thought about coming here to write something. Then I get here and it just doesn't seem as good as I thought it would.

1- new little kitty we let in our lives. We found her in the ditch outside of Blake's house. Her name is Penelope. If you follow on insta, you've probably seen her. She is quite a spitfire. She's a crazy little shit. But I love her sooooo much.

56848161 - times I've already freaked out and had a panic attack over wedding planning. I love it, but hate it at the same time. I hope somebody can save my sanity. And my fiance, because sometimes, the panic attacks are his fault. Bless his heart.

6 - The number of teeth my little human has lost. And she pulls most of them out by herself! I don't know where she gets the balls to do that, but good for her.

1- Relay for Life I've been to. I had a really good time at it. My stepmom and dad set most of it up and did all the important committee stuff.  Next year I hope I can be more of a help to their team. As you all know, I've been close to cancer in my life. Not myself personally though. The relay really helped me emotionally, I felt like cancer had closure. It was a nice experience.

3 - Fires I was a part of this weekend. Two were huge! And one was in a small fire pit with Teagan and Blake while we listened to live music a little down the road. I couldn't complain.

she didn't get the scary eyes memo

That's about all I've got. Miss me. Leave me some love. Send me all your good blogging vibes so that I come back again soon.

xoxo.

Choosing My Own Adventure

So one of my mostest favoritest bloggers in the whole entire blog universe, Stephanie, announced that she was doing a link up, I know I had to join.

The only thing was, that this month's theme is fitness -.- . If you know me, I'm not much of a fitness person. But I knew I needed to start doing something. After all, it's only 13 months until my wedding and I need to start getting in shape. I honestly had no clue what I would do. 

Blake bought us an elliptical and I figured that I could actually use it. Because neither of us have touched it except when we were first excited that he bought it. That was about a month ago. S

So in the meantime I've been scratching my brain, trying to figure out what in the hell I'm gonna do. And then I found this on facebook this morning.

My friend has a fitbit and this is what her fb fitbit group is doing. So I decided that I'm gonna do it. I may not have a fitbit (but I really want one), but I can do these things without one. I'm gonna have to research what in the hell some things are, like a reverse lunge, and a push up to side arm balance, but whatever. I can figure it out! 

Here's to fitness. I might be dead in 30 days. We'll see.

Life Lately 8.2014

Oh man, I always dream of coming to this space and just hitting a post right out of the park. And then life happens and I never make it. I really need to make a schedule so that I post regularly. Yeah right. Anyway, I just thought it's been a minute so I'd update you about my life.

Blake and I are crazy. We got another dog. That makes two puppies under the age of two. At first it wasn't bad. Now I want to scream half of the time. His name is Marley. And he's the softest dog I've ever felt. He's also a big ol' cry baby. It's cute. He's a good dog. Even when he's getting on my nerves. I thought he would be my dog, but he took right to Blake. Like they all do.

My momma celebrated her birthday this month. I think it was perfect. We spent the day shopping with her momma and her aunt. She got to have not one, but two birthday dinners. It was a great day.

I went to the Missouri State Fair. I didn't go for the fair though. I went to see Jake Owen. And that man, he puts on one hell of a show. I love Luke and Keith with all my heart but I'm sure Jake had more energy during his show than I've seen those two have. He's a great performer and now I love him. I definitely want to see him again someday. But back to the fair, I had the most amazing food I think I've ever had. It was cheese on a stick. Pepperjack cheese with corndog breading. OMG I WANT MORE. I had two, I shouldn't have but damn they were good. I'm going back next year just for more cheese on a stick.

Blake, Teagan, my momma, and I all went to the Oklahoma Aquarium. That was a fun experience. I learned that I want an otter. They are just the cutest things! I was all pumped to see the sea turtles, but their exhibit was still in construction. Jellyfish are really cool looking. I've never been to a beach, so this was my first experience with any type of ocean life. I even held a starfish!

Just one more month until I can start wedding planning! I know, I could have started after we were engaged but Blake asked me to wait until October that way he knew it was a year away and it will be time to get serious. I need to go pick out a wedding planner/binder. I have bought a few things though! When I find good deals, I just have to get them.

I think that's all that's been up over here. Besides the typical things like work and what not. Hopefully I can make it back tomorrow. No promises though.

It's Been a While

Since I've linked up with Kathy for some confessions. I can easily bang out a post on Monday and Tuesday but come Wednesday I'm done. Not this week though!

- I hate Sprint. I can't believe I let Blake talk me in to leaving AT&T. It won't happen again. Seriously, my service sucks, they are waaaay expensive, and Blake and I have both had a phone we bought from them just quit working. I know that isn't really their fault, but it just seems fishy to me. I won't be renewing my contract with them when my contract ends. Unfortunately I believe that's a little less than two years away.

this is what a phone call sounds like

- My back has been really sore for the past few days. I went to Urgent Care today  because I couldn't wait to see my doctor on Friday because owww. I apparently have muscle spasms. I mean, what is that? What is going on exactly? I got some drugs. I took one pain pill and everything was fuzzy. I'll stick to the booze. I just want to feel better though.

- I'm gonna get personal for a minute. I feel like a cow. I haven't gained any weight but I just feel terrible. My body is so not where I want it to be. I don't want to have six pack abs or an ass like Kim K's, I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. Blake bought us an elliptical two weeks ago and I've only used it once. I need the motivation but can't find it. I eat out way way too much. It's embarrassing. But sometimes, my job doesn't have the right schedule to eat healthy home cooked food. I need help. Blahhhh.

- This is so embarrassing....I downloaded the Kim Kardashian Hollywood app. I'm so disappointed in myself. I can't even explain why I did it and now I can't stop playing. Can I get an intervention?

Whoopie knows what's up.

- Thanks to Amanda I decided I had to have the Sephora Summer Stash. When I saw that they had the Stila Eye Shadow Foil in there I knew I had to have. That and the Urban Decay Setting Spray. It was worth every dime. And I bought a deluxe sample size of Better Than Sex that came with an eyeliner because I wanted free shipping. I'm starting to have a makeup problem. I don't even wear makeup that much. But I need all the makeup please. Plus the bag it came in is super sparkly. Love it. Watch for a review - don't get too excited for one. Who knows if it will happen.

Do you have a makeup hoarding problem? Tell me what I need!

Happy Mail

I love mail. I'm more than excited to get anything with my name on it. Even bills. I just love getting mail. 

And then there are packages, if bills make me happy, than imagine how happy I get when I get packages! 

When I saw that Lauren at Pink on the Cheek hosts a swap called The Happy Mail Project I got excited. And then I saw this month's theme....

taken from her website
