It's soooooo what WEDNESDAY time!

So what... if I am dressed like a pirate today.

So what... if this simple little act of kindness made my morning.

I sort of had a crap week at work last week, one of those where you feel like you just keep messing things up. So when this email popped up & I saw that one of my wine guys had emailed my boss singing my praises my heart got all warm & fuzzy.

So what... if I want to jump for joy because niece has ONE MORE CHEMO treatment left. ONE MORE!!! Wow, what a journey since January. To be honest, it's flown by. And I'm so thankful for that.  I tried to tell that tumor it didn't stand a chance! (PS look at all that attitude - sheesh)


So what... if I'm about to go all sales pitchy on you and tell you that if you aren't signed up for Ebates. Go sign up now! I don't do a ton of shopping online, but I used it for a few purchases, and used it when we booked our airfare for our last trip to the Dominican, and I just got a check for $33 from them. For doing nothing but clicking the link through their site. UHmazing.


So what... if I ducked out on margarita night early last night so I could go to my parents and watch the finale of The Voice. I loved Jamar the most, and then Tony Lucca and then Jermaine. So at least one of my men won! Woo! And Biebs performed. What a little cutie

So what... if I was taken back to my high school days when I went on a 2ish hour road trip with a fella I'm dating and his parents Sunday. This fella, whom is aptly nicknamed Little Tyke (yes, every guy I date immediately earns a nickname and is thereafter called by it all the time) races, and we went to watch on of his friends race near the Ohio border.  His family was really cool and it was nice seeing LT out of the car being a spectator for once!

So what... if it's this pretty little ladies birthday today and I cannot wait to hit up the country bar with her tonight to celebrate!

So what... if this went down last week. I won't go into detail. Make what you will of it. Call Me Maybe was involved.

So what... if after Little Tyke saw the videos he couldn't stop laughing and shaking his head. Then the next day this happened.  (again, come to your own conclusions)


So what... if I'm slowly but surely getting back into blogging. Finding a way to fit it into the schedule. I miss you all!

So what... if I went to the grocery store last night for the first time in weeks. I made it out only $60 poorer, and that my friends is a miracle.


So what...if I sample everything I bought as soon as I get home from the grocery. Seriously - last night I had black olives, swiss cheese, lunch meat turkey, greek yogurt, a couple raspberries, then I finally sauteed up some veggies and pretended I had some sort of well-balanced meal.


So what... if I go through phases with black olives. I will be addicted to them for a few months then absolutely hate them for a few.  Anyone else do this with food?


So what... if even though I live alone, I still have to fit ME days into my schedule. Last night was one. It was glorious. I tend to end up doing SOMETHING every night it seems, so I turned down all plans and just took it easy last night! Grocery, workout and a redbox.


So what... if I got a wild hair last night and decided to do the Plyo dvd from p90x. Holy hell. Sitting,standing,  stairs and squatting are all proving to be a challenge today.


So what... I am +1-ing at a wedding this Friday night. We went on a little shopping excursion for a suit jacket for him, and the fella helping us at Nordstrom kept referring to me as "the better half". Things like "How do you think he looks in this jacket, better half?" were being thrown around like it was nothing. I couldn't help but to laugh & just go along with it.


So what... if internally, that Fear of Commitment portion of my brain was going SHITSHITSHIT evacuate the area. ;)


So what... if I'm learning all these little quirks that I can and cannot handle in guys I date. Like shoes. I notice those first. I really need a guy to be at least semi-fashionable. Or willing to let me overhaul le closet. I can't date ugly. So shoot me -- just being honest.


So what... if I stopped at a busy gas station last week, pulled my car in, parked, got out, realized my gas tank is on the other side. I've had my car for what 3 years now? So I had to get back in and turn around. How embarrassing.


So what... if my ice cream addiction hasn't slowed down at all. Still hitting up DQ at least once a week. Dairy is detrimental to your health though, right?


So what... if I didn't sit any trash out for trash day this week. I just didn't feel like it to be honest - I felt like such a rebel. So exhilarating, disobeying chores. I get wild. Lemme tell yah.

So what if I am kicking off the holiday weekend by throwing a Tacky Easter Bash Saturday, who says Ugly Christmas Sweaters get to have all the fun?


So what if I crack up every time I think of the outfit I'm going to wear Saturday. Thank god for Goodwill.


So what if I bought an Easter basket to put jello shots in Saturday night.

So what if I can't decide if this is a really great idea, or a really horrible idea. 


So what if... actually now that I think about it, I am probably going to hell for desecrating the holiday as such. Whoops.

 So what if I got hit on by every underage fella at Walmart last night because my cart looked like thi.

 So what if we have standards.

So what if my dining room table hasn't looked like this since at least Christmas.


So what if I fell off the watermarking bandwagon. What can I say, it requires effort I don't want to exert. 

So what if I made bread pudding for family dinner on Monday.... with donuts. And rum. It was amazing, in a sugar coma kind of way.

So what if I got a kick out of this. "My Engagement Pictures", is this for real!? Sorry I'm not sorry.

So what if I am super excited for May. May in Indy is so very fun.


So what if I should not be blogging. I have so many things to do at work today. Back to the real world

Adios amigos!

So what if my last So What Wednesday post was like a month ago.


So what if I am totally rocking out to Lionel Richie right now. I am digging his new album, with all of the collaborations!

So what if I think the hottest thing a guy can wear is a white tshirt and jeans. And Pandora clearly knows my weak spot.

So what if I rediscovered these bad boys in my trunk and want to wear them all the time now.

So what if my coworkers and I have a serious problem. DQ is right down the road from the house of booze, and we make frequent trips.

So what if I STILL am not able to wear my new MK watch because no place will resize it since I didn't buy it there. LAME. 

So what if I sometimes decide I want cereal too after I fix a glass of milk.

So what if I spend many a night out back by my firepit with RussRuss The Ladies Man, now that the weather has warmed up.

So what if my boots have a closet all to themselves. My house has a lot of little closets, it works out perfectly.

So what if this makes me a spoiled brat. My mom drops off donuts for me when I am not home. LOVE IT!

So what if it's this little ladies 2nd birthday today.

I may be biased, but I think my niece is the best. She is such a strong, amazing little ball of sass. With her chemo and weakened immune system we are just having a little get together for immediate family, but I hope she feels the love all the same!


So what if I am currently image-searching for a lei and a cowboy hat to put on a beaver. God, I love my job. Redneck luau here we come.


So what if this lady bailed on our 3way dinner date Saturday night. (Lame) Aly & I had fun withoutchooo.

So what if I celebrated Fat Tuesday with Margaritas. The Mexicans were on to something, I tell yah. I choose them over Catholics, and definitely over Irish. I promise you I will have tequila in my system on St Pattys Day, lovingly referred to as Worst Holiday Ever. 

So what if I painted my nails to match the spice jar. It caught my eye on my kitchen shelf.

So what if I think a burger topped in guacamole is the best idea EVER.

So what if I am absolutely loving having the office to myself. I need to do some rearranging though, no?


So what if I listen to Robin Thicke's Pretty Little Heart on repeat. For extended periods of time. Can he be mine? I wouldn't hate him serenading me all the time.

So what if this is what I look like every day when I get home from work. My dress pants come off immediately when I walk in the door. The sad part is, I almost forgot & left the house looking like this


So what if I've yet to put away any of the laundry I did over the weekend. My bedroom is a wreck.


So what if I think I am getting sick again, and (compliments of WebMD) I've narrowed it down to either Measles, HIV or diphtheria. Ok, I may have gotten that last one from Oregon Trail.

So what if I went to change out of yoga pants to put leggings on the other day, I untied and took off my shoes, took my pants off, proceeded to put my shoes back on, and tied them. Then stood there in my underwear and tennis shoes cracking up at myself. Ay yi yi (Then, because I didn't want to take my shoes back off I struggled to pull my pants on OVER them)

So what I spent my Valentine's Day with a group of single friends, consuming mass amounts of bacon and cocktails. Seriously - bacon wrapped tater tots, jalapeno poppers, straight bacon, it was amazing. I think I may need to stay single forever just so that can be my yearly VDay ritual


So what if I am wearing the geek glasses today. They seemed like the perfect match for my bacon hangover mood this morning


So what if instead of changing the battery in my smoke detector this morning, I laid in bed silently cussing out its every chirp from the hours of 6am to 7am. Why it decided it needed a new battery in the wee hours of the morning is beyond me.


So what if I am absolutely ticked that the ticket we all thought mysteriously disappeared has made itself present again. In the form of a threat letter saying my license will be suspended in two weeks. Neat.


So what if I am about to rub this in your face -- I'll be on the beach in the Caribbean in 3 and a half weeks. (Sorry, sorry, had to)


So what if my blender was literally smoking this morning. I guess a $15 wally world cheapie can only handle so many frozen bananas. Naturally, I continued to use it. How else was I supposed to completely blend my green monster, by hand?!


So what if played hooky from work on Monday to hang out with my niece. She is doing really well, you wouldn't even have any clue she was battling cancer - which is simply amazing in my mind. We put on a pretty gnarly drum concert on her Muppets drum set. 


So what if I got asked out by a 21 year old. I know it's only a couple years younger... but I'm struggling with it HA! Probably doesn't help that I've taken to calling him "little tyke"


So what if semi-bigdeal changes are happening in my world but I can't discuss just yet. Soon though, promise!

So what I am currently photoshopping an image of plastic communion cups full of wine to look like jello shots. My options were limited. I’m going to hell.


So what I went into total geek mode this morning & located and removed a virus from my computer. Regedit ftw! ( I grew up with an engineer for a brother who was always rebuilding computers, I picked up a thing or two along the way!)



So what I think everyone who regularly bashes Indy, regardless of the fact that they live here… shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy the Super Bowl festivities ;)


So what it is wishful thinking to hope that MAYBE my niece won’t have any side effects from her chemo. She just completed week three and so far so good.


So what I held off on baking Girlfriend Cookies last night, since vacation is a month and a half away… but then proceeded to eat (no lie) half the box of Tagalongs. I don’t care how sweet & innocent they seem… Girl Scouts are the devil


So what I painted my nails all cute & valentines’y last night, and proceeded to screw them up not even 10 minutes later. Happens every time.


So what if I regularly get emails & tweets asking about vacation advice/tips/suggestions and want to somehow blog about all my experience but am struggling to figure out the best way. I don't want to go all TripAdvisor'ish, yah know!?


So what if I miss my best friend really, really bad. She started her new job and I have been so busy with Super Bowl that we have barely found time to chat. Boo!


So what if this week, jeans week at the House of Booze, has made waking up in the mornings THAT much easier. What is it about being able to wear jeans that puts a smile on my face!?

So what if I woke up this morning feeling like hell.... but envisioned 8 hours of vacation time spent on a beach, and used that as my motivation to get my sick self out of bed and go to work. Is that not ridiculous. Priorites, people, priorities!


So what if I've got atleast 7 times the legal limit of Vitamin C running through my veins right now. Ok, ok, "recommended daily allowance", whatever.



So what if I wear my Uggs on the drive to work most mornings, then change when I get to our work parking lot. I cling to that last little bit of coziness as long as I can!


So what if I wake up, make a mug of green tea to drink while I'm getting ready, make coffee to drink for the drive into work, and make a green monster for once I get to my desk. Needless to say I'm ready to pee my pants by 9am.


So what if I spent the better part of my Saturday night on the phone catching up with a west coast friend I haven't seen since last summer. Apparently we had a lot to catch up on, considering we logged well over 3 hours of phone time.


So what if I am purposely letting some bananas go brown so I can make banana bread, which I have been craving for weeks


So what if I find it eerily weird that I am going to be in the Punta Cana the exact same dates that I was there 6 years ago. (Oh yea, surprise! My first vacation of the year is booked already!)


So what if I have to go throw away the 27 tissues I went through while writing this post. Gah this head cold may just be the death of me.

So what if I am channeling my inner Nicole Richie today

Skull scarfs are considered "business casual", right?! (Update: you can purchase my scarf here)





So what if I snapped this photo while hanging out in my nieces hospital room last week. I always try to look at the bright side of things (ok, so maybe it is slightly creepy)

So what if I got my w2 in the mail yesterday & proceeded to do my taxes. Waaay early! But at least I'm done, and hey - I'll get my return sooner!


So what if I have horrible anxiety the whole time I am doing my taxes. Every year. I use TurboTax, but I still feel like I am FORSURE doing something wrong and am going to end up audited and in jail


So what if I had a blind girl date last night. Can never have too many friends, right!?

 So what if one of my proudest moments this week was conquering the marbleized nail paint job. (a little messy, I know... gimme a break!)


So what if the thought of eating a banana once it's turned all yellow grosses me out. And don't even bring up brown spots. Gag. Way too sweet


So what if I just fell into a fit of giggles when my rap/r&b pandora station started playing a song from the Aladdin soundtrack. Huh!?


So what if I am a little bit (a lot of bit) bummed I had to turn down the opportunity to be in a flash mob, because I already had conflicting plans. BOO!


So what if I have stayed late every night this week at work... all I see are dollar signs in front of my eyes. We are swamped with Super Bowl and I'm taking full advantage of overtime


So what if it's reeking havoc on my mental psyche though. I got home last night and was brewing a pot of coffee before I even took my coat off. To say I'm drained is an understatement
