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

I knew that I had to join. 

Hello notebooks, pretty pens, and all the other fun stuff that comes along with going back to school. 

It's not just limited to back to school items though. Some other ideas are a book or fall related items! 

Go sign up real quick. You know you want some happy mail in your mailbox! You have until the 7th.

What's your favorite part of going back to school?

The Elusive Shift Drink

Oh shift drink, such a an elusive creature you are.

If you don't know, a shift drink is something that servers love. It's a free drink you receive before or after your shift at a restaurant. 

The problem is, I've never known somebody that's had one. 

Apparently, it's not something chain restaurants enjoy doing. Giving away free alcohol makes them angry. It's all about the $$ ya know. 

I can tell you that after a busy dinner shift, nothing sounds better than some form of alcohol. You need to shake off the shittiness and maybe get a little buzz on. 

That's why servers always go out for drinks after work. And spend all the money we just earned. Which really sucks for us.

My solution? Every restuarant gives a shift drink? Happy servers make happy customers.

Where's my drink at?

Life Lately (july)

Just when you finally start to not remember this blog, I come back.

Heeeeey.

Since I don't even know where to start I'll just give you a glimpse of what I've been up to lately according to my phone's camera lens.

warning, this is kind of pic heavy. sorry for your eyes.

These are in no particular order

I celebrated my wife's birthday. Not just once, but three times! The weekend  before we had a bonfire. I got to play nurse/mom. Have you ever had a drunk nurse? You don't want one. On her birthday we went to a nice dinner and then had a mini girls' night with some friends. The weekend after we went to JB's Piano Bar. It's a dueling piano bar and I always have such a great time when I'm there. Which until recently, had only been twice. This time I volunteered to be dd because I had to work the next day. When did I grow up? 

I spent time with this spitfire little girl. Oh man, she's growing and changing more everyday. She seems more and more like a mini adult. It needs to stop. She even told me I wasn't cool. Apparently there's a dance to "Turn Down for What". Well, at 23 years old I officially don't give a shit about new dances that go to club music, therefore I didn't know it. But they played the cha cha slide and I told her I knew the dance to that and she informed me that she "Didn't care. It's not cool." Pshhh what does she know.

I got a trim. I meany my my hair got cut off. then I decided to shock everybody and have it straightened. I thoguht you needed a bathroom selfie. I'm so good at this blog thing. It doesn't look to short, but that's because I had nothing to compare it to. But I miss it a lot. I need it to grow out quickly please.

I've spent a lot of quality time with this lady. God I love that dog.

And the majority of the time was spent working. I've worked a lot (for me) lately. And most of the time it's goofing off. Proof with the pretty unicorn cone cups. I hope she never sees the most embarrassing picture of her ever. 

Last night Blake, Teagan, and I had a nice little date night. Then this morning I had the perfect opportunity to capture pictures of this handsome fat boy. Personally, I think they're pretty good for an iphone. Loooove.

Has your life been good lately? Tell me about it.

When I'm Alone

I had planned on not blogging today due to the fact that I couldn't think of anything to blog about. But then I saw that Juliette at The Other Juliette is having a blog every day in July link up going on. So I looked at today's prompt and thought why the hell not!

Today's topic is things you do when you're alone. This could get interesting. 

I'm alone an awful lot during the summer. The mini is at her dad's house every other week and everybody else works during the week. Except me because I don't have a big girl job. So what else is there to do...

For starters, I take a billion pictures of Trixie. Which she hates but I love. If you go through my phone you can always tell when I've been home alone. There are 25 bad pictures of her and about 2 good ones.

Watch proposal videos and cry like somebody stole my candy. What can I say? I'm a sap. I love proposals. But I love mine the most. =)

Pin all the wedding things on Pinterest. Thank god I have a secret board so I don't drive y'all crazy with that nonsense. Oh wait, you don't follow me? Well just click here and you can!

I probably won't wash my hair for days on end if I can get away with it either. It's just too much effort.

The bra comes off as soon as I walk in the door. It doesn't matter if it's open or closed. Buh-bye loser!!! 

Stare at my phone for ridiculous amounts of time. This one is embarrassing. I'm always on my damn phone. It's so bad that I notice it and try to find something else to do so I don't feel like a failure.

Clean my room...but there's a catch. Most of the time I do it naked. I don't know why. It just feels right. Most of the time my room looks like the closet exploded and spit up my clothes all over the floor. So why not add more clothes to the pile? 

What secrets do you have when you're home alone? Link up!

Locked Out

You don't know panic until you've been locked out of your google account.

That's what happened to me last week. Imagine being unable to access anything kinda sorta, most likely important to you. It was a fucking nightmare. No email, no blog, no ANYTHING.

 I forgot my password because I've had to change it twice this past month. And the only way I could get it back was to have it sent to my email address I had on file. Which I also didn't know the password for. Great going right!

I sat on the couch for two hours almost in tears thinking I'd never be able to see this blog again. Thinking I'd never get to talk to the wonderful friends I've made. Trying password after password to be told they were all wrong.

I threw my phone on the floor and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and the first thought to cross my mind was the right password. Figures right?

Basically I'm just saying hopefully I'll be around more this week. And at least I remembered it!
