Conversations with my mama

In case you're ever curious why I am the way I am:














God I love her.

So What Wednesday

Link up with Life After I "Dew" if you wanna dish too!

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. 


 

Mixer & Mingle Friday: the health conscious alcoholic

Ever since Loopy launched I have been all.about.it.

And not just because I'm in the industry. But because it's SERIOUSLY that good.

I already dedicated a whole post to it here, but I don't think you all listened to me.

Go try it - NOW.

It's been a week from hell here at work, as soon as I got home last night I needed a drink. I had some soy milk in the fridge, I had some Loopy on the bar. I set some candles, left them alone in the room, and let the magic happen.

The outcome? Amazing. UHmazing. Even better that Loopy & milk, or Loopy & half&half.

It took everything in me not to drink it for breakfast this morning. Added bonus: just think of all the bone-building calcium you're consuming!? 

Because sometimes...

Because sometimes you just need a little glimmer of hope to get you through the work week.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle

Was the person who originally spelled Wednesday drunk?

Holy hell, a whole week without any posts from me? Who knew I could shut up that long.

I got a lecture from my mom Monday night after our weekly family dinner, in which she confessed she was, quite frankly, ticked that she had to ASK what I had been up to lately, instead of just reading it on my blog.

Well... Uh. I've been on approximately 47 dates since Christmas. I'm not sure what happened that made me cool, but apparently I have some sort of gravitational pull on menfolk this month and well, that's fun.

Work is SO busy. I'm drowning in tequila. No really. I'm ready for Cinco de Mayo to be over.

I am addicted to cheesy pop this month. I go through phases, last month was country, most months are ghetto rap. This month - Dream, 98 Degrees, Carly Call Me Maybe (what's her real name anyways?) Biebs. I've got a whole Spotify playlist, aptly titled "That Just Happened"

Speaking of Biebs, my grandpa was dancing to Boyfriend on my parents front porch Sunday afternoon.

And then my dad was car dancing to LMFAO on Monday night.

My family is a bit loco.

Also, it's Wednesday - that means Girls Night Out. I think we need to hit up the country bar again.
