On Wednesdays We Confess

How's it already Wednesday? That means that the weekend is coming and I have to work. Wahhhh. But at least it was fast and painless right!

- I only do this link up so that I can have Ryan's face on my blog. Kidding, kidding. But it sure as hell helps. 

- I get really overwhelmed very easily. And with all the questions that were being thrown my way after we got engaged, well, I thought I was going to lose my mind. Thankfully, I've gotten a bit better as the questions have gotten better. I don't think staying calm and collected while wedding planning is going to be as easy as I thought. Uh oh. 

- I started a journal last night. I set an alarm for 5 minutes and just free wrote whatever came to my mind. I wasn't done when my 5 minutes was up so I set it for another 5. I really enjoyed it. Now if only I could put those words on this here blog. I'd have some great posts. 

- On a serious note, while journaling, my hand would tense up and start to hurt really bad from my fingertips all the way down to my elbow. What's wrong with me? Are my writing muscles just sore or should I see if it's something more?? I mean I physically had to stop writing to get the pain to go away. And after about a minute of writing again it would come back. Anybody here a dr??

- I've been enjoying using the "I just got engaged though!" speech for things I want. During the weekend, Wife wasn't sure if she wanted to come to a party with me so I just said that and she couldn't say no. What else do you think it would work for? Am I a brat? 

- I'm really bad at taking medicine consistently. I have an under active thyroid that I need to manage and I suck at it. It makes me really sleepy and sluggish. If I take my pill I'm good, but if not it's all I can do to manage to be a human being. I stopped consistently taking said pill in March and I'm feeling the effects of it. How do you manage taking daily pills?? My refills run out in May (not that far away) and I will have to go back to the dr. to have it checked out. I just don't want to tell him I don't take it everyday because then I'll feel guilty. At the same time I don't want him to think that my condition is getting worse. Being an adult isn't fun sometimes.

- I really just want to start wedding planning but I want to enjoy being engaged too. There's so much exciting stuff going on. Ahhhhh!!

Peace Out Cupcakes, 

Have a great day!

What A Crazy Weekend

It's Monday once again. Why does that keep happening? Anybody know how to stop Mondays from coming? Anybody??

My weekend was wonderful and crazy and exciting. Ok, it was more than that but I don't want to be here trying to think up some adjectives to describe it.

Friday night I was invited to a bonfire with Blake. I really really didn't want to go. But earlier in the week he went to a bonfire for me so of course I bitched and moaned to Sarah but we went. I invited a couple of girls I work with just to be on the safe side that I knew people that would be there.

We all hung out for awhile and had a great time. Then the unexpected happened.

Just a little warning that this video does look like it's terrible quality.

Sarah took it on her phone and sent it to me which fucked it up.

And there is some cussing. Woops!!

Yes, on that Friday night when I didn't want to go to a bonfire in any way, shape, or form, my amazing boyfriend proposed.

It was completely unexpected on my half! Everybody at the bonfire knew it was going down except for the two ladies I invited.

It's Monday now and I still think I'm in shock. I mean, I'm absolutely amazed and blown away, but still in shock for sure.

So there may be some gross sappy love posts coming this way soon. Like tomorrow. And I might have more details tomorrow. =)

See ya on the flipside!

Do The Humpty Hump

- I made homemade alfredo sauce on Monday night and it was DELICIOUS! Way better than OG's! However, I failed at the chicken part. We were going to have chicken alfredo but I was nervous about making two things at once that I've never made before. So...I decided to buy some pre-cooked, frozen grilled chicken strips made by Tyson. NOPE. Never again. They were terrible. So I threw the chicken away and we had rotini alfredo. And it was god's gift to me. Now, I need a good chicken recipe.

- I got a bag of gummy bears for Easter. They were good. They were so good that Monday night Trixie comes and stands in front of me and proceeds to barf them up all over the floor. Yup, she ate my entire bag and then hid it. And then got sick and made me clean it up. On the bright side, it smelled like gummy bears.

- I have too many clothes. I keep decluttering my closet but when I catch up on laundry it just seems like there's more than what I gave away. And I actually wear the stuff I'm keeping!

- My dad and stepmom have paid my cellphone bill for I don't know how many years. And they will continue to do so. Until Friday. I took the leap and I will have my very own big girl plan. This could get interesting!

- I almost started fb drama last night but decided against it. But the girl totally deserved it. She's a religious hypocrite. Which to me is the worst kind. I mean, look at what she posted! And that's not even all of it. Last week was something worse. I don't mind religion my feed. To each their own. However, to call people out like that, that's just plain rude. I don't even know why this girl has friends. Instead of commenting a scripture about how we aren't supposed to judge, I just deleted her. Look at me, growing up and shit. *names and pictures aren't shown to protect the asshole*

- I only have four confessions because I'm a damn boring person. Somebody wanna come hangout??

See you tomorrow cupcakes. Lots of love.

You Need This

So remember when I told you I ordered a new comforter that I was in love with. Well, I finally got it, like last month.


AND  I LOVE IT. Yeah, I really do. I don't wanna sleep anywhere else anymore. I love everything about it.

Not only is it beautiful, it's super soft on the other side. I didn't realize that the side I sleep under was made of a different material until it came in.

I ordered the comforter set which included the comforter, two shams, and a bed skirt. I also ordered the coverlet. I had no clue what a coverlet was but I thought I needed it. It's just a quilt that goes underneath the comforter. Basically, it's a blanket for when it's too warm for the comforter. I haven't put the bed skirt on yet because I wasn't trying to flip the mattress up by myself. And the comforter and coverlet are both so long that you can't even tell it's not on there. There's still a few things that go with the set that I want to buy. Especially all the throw pillows! And I still need sheets. My hot pink ones don't look terrible but they aren't great.

coverlet blanket thing

I need this!

The only one complaint I have is that it does wrinkle easily. I don't care enough to send it back though. It's a great set!

And this is what it really looks like. My dog can't jump on my bed on the first try so she scratches the blankets on her way up. I don't want it to be all torn up.

Everything can be purchased from Kohls!

Oh, and they didn't pay me to review this. They don't even know I'm doing this. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's Swap Time

I don't know if you guys love blog swaps as much as I do, but you should. I mean it's so much fun to buy stuff for other people and to see what they pick out for you!

I'm doing the color swap hosted by the lovely ladies over at CG Swaps. You get partnered up with somebody and pick out items you think they'd like based around their favorite colors.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Yay it's Friday!  I hope you cupcakes all have a wonderful 3 day weekend. I'll be at work making that $$. 

Anyway, when I saw that Amanda from Meet @ The Barre was hosting her first ever Friday Favorites link up I knew I couldn't leave her hanging. 

Here are my favs this week! 

Here's a back story before I get to my first favorite thing. When we bought tickets to ACM's I decided that I wanted to rock the boho look. Kind of. And that meant I had to grow my hair out. I haven't had long hair for 5 years. I'm excited to see how long I can get it. While browsing Pinterest (we forgot about our love affair, but have since rekindled our romance)  I found the hair I want.

Favorite Food 

We had pizza quesadillas last night and they are delicious. You just need tortillas, your choice of pizza toppings, pizza sauce, and cheese! Easy, sort of nutritious, wonderful dinner!

Favorite Song

Believe it or not it's not a country song this week! I've been digging Hey Brother by Avicci for awhile but this week I couldn't get enough of it. 

Favorite Moment of the Week

Even though Teagan and I fight a lot, she melts my heart a little bit more. Yesterday was elegant day at her school and she was so excited. It was all she could talk about Wednesday night when she was being sweet. I love how girlie she is. It's the complete opposite of me and it's cute. So Thursday when she was all ready I had to take a picture. She did her own hair and picked out her own outfit. I just felt like my little girl was all grown up. I'd like that to stop please.

That's it for this week. I'm gonna stalk everybody else's posts to get more ideas for myself! Happy Friday cupcakes! 

Linking up with Whit too!

Those Days

Yesterday was one of those days.

Those days where all the tables at work had soup and salad which doesn't bode well for the tipping department.

Those days where all your kid does is fight with you and you end up crying because you're tired of fighting.

Those days where supper was a frozen pizza.

I loathe those days the most. They're just irritating.

I asked my manager if he could just tell me what my days off were next week because I need to make an appointment to get my brakes fixed. He just told me no and walked away. Seriously? Sometimes I wonder why I still work there.

It was the kind of day that every news story on my feed was a sad one that made me cry.

It was where every show I watched made me cry. I'm talking to you Parenthood.

But if it wasn't for these days, I don't think I'd appreciate the good days as much.

So here's to making today a better day.

Here's to smiling just the littlest smile and making it stick on my face.
