See ya

Tomorrow night we leave for the lake.

There will be 9 of us going up there for 2 days of fun in the sun on the boat.

This is the third year in a row we have done this same trip.

 

I have been packed since wednesday night. 

I may have packed enough for 6 days...whatever.

I have done ALL the laundry.

I have emptied ALL the trash.

I have scrubbed the kitchen (with a toothbrush).

I even washed our bedding so we can come home to a super clean house Sunday night.

(I made sure my phone was NOT in the wash this time!)

 

All I have left to do is make a trip to my favorite store ever, Target.

I want to see if they have any new swim suits (clearance would be nice).

I also want to grab some snacks for the weekend as well.

 

All I need to do is finish this night at work and my day shift in the morning and its 2.5 days off :)

 

I can't wait to have a margarita for breakfast on sat ;)

 



a good book

 

 

 

I love reading.  I do not do it nearly as much as I would like to, but I still love it. 

 

I have been trying to go to the gym again lately, so i get in at least 45 minutes of reading a day there.  I bring my IPad and i read from my Kindle app while I ride the bike.  Its relaxing and the time flies by. 

 

Right now I am reading Reached by Ally Condie.  It is the 3rd book in the Matched Trilogy.  I reccommend these books highly.  I have 5% left in the last book and im sad that the story is about to end.

There are a few more books I would like to read this summer:

Honey, I Dont Have a Headache by Shelia Wray Gregoire

Adulting: How to become a Grown-up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps by Kelly Williams Brown

Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin

Divergent by Veronica Roth (Trilogy)

Insurgent by Veronica Roth (Trilogy)

Allegiant by Veronica Roth (Trilogy)

Frost (The Frost Chronicles) by Kate Avery Ellison

Arena Three by Morgan Rice (Not out yet)

Just to make a few ;)

 

 



 

I find that the cheaper books that Amazon features are actually pretty good.  I have read some really good stories for under $5.  Some of them though, I do not think were edited before publication, but I can see past that if the story greally grabs me.  Its the story that counts in the long run.

 

Anyways, I hope to finish Reached tonight or in the morning and off to start another story.  Off to dive into another world.

Jackhammer

Monday nights at work are very slow.  We only have one class so it is usually very quiet.  Usually.  Right now they are renivating the bathroom on the floor above us.  With JACKAHMMERS.  The noise and vibrations have literally filled not only my office, but the entire floor! 

 

You may hear some slight noise, they said.

 

SLIGHT noise, they said.

 

I feel like they are literally using that jackahmmer on my head.  And I have the next 4 hours to look forward to of this!!

 

On a positive note, I got a new phone.  Apparently, no amount of rice can save an iphone that went through a full wash cycle. 

 

Also on a positive note, I emailed both our favorite photographer and DJ and told them we want to make contracts for the wedding!!  I have known I wanted to use both of them but just didnt want to commit because I didnt want to give them my money!! AHH!!

 

 

 

 

Time to go take something for this headache,

dirty iphone?

I may have washed my phone in the washing machine this morning.

 

I decided to wash our bedding this morning and I thought I left my phone on the bed after I took the sheets off.  Apparently not.  I scooped it up with the sheets and tossed it in the washing machine, where it was submerged for at least 30 minutes before enduring the spin cycle.

 

 

The upside, our bedding is clean.

 

 

Life.

Cat Shoes!

Let us start this post off with a lil' outfit of my day :)

 

I LOVE my new cat shoes!! I am such a cat lady :)  I have been waiting ALL week for these bad boys to be delivered!! They are THE MOST comfortable shoes, literally.  Usually, flats rip up the backs of my ankles while I am breaking them in, but NOT these!! I am in love.

 

Right now, I am drinking my very first green tea smoothie and it is sooo good :)

 

 

 

P.s. im still crispy!

Sunday Funday?

Today, I spent the day at the beach with a friend of mine. We were there for about 5 hours and it was so relaxing. Too relaxing? Is that even possible? It is when you are white as a ghost... I am now well done, crispy, stick a fork in me! It HURTS!  I have never been burnt like this before. My WHOLE body is a shade of hot pink that I have never even seen before, neon describes it better!!!!

I really enjoyed myself today and even though this beach is 2 hours away from our house, I would still love to go back soon...but not too soon! I need to recover!

The beach and the sun absolutely make me so happy and relaxed and I cannot wait until my skin isn't melting anymore!

Peace and quiet?!

Today I was blessed with beautiful weather during my morning off.  Usually if I have to work at night, it rains all day, and if I work during the day its beautiful and I do not get to enjoy it.  Today I spent at least an hour soaking up the sun, watching youtube videos, and drinking my juice.  Today's juice consisted of apples, oranges, strawberries, lemon, and lime.

It was nice to just relax all by myself today.  I do not take advantage of alone time like I should, maybe I wouldnt be so crazy if I did more often. 



 

 

 

Another thing I want to do with this blog is post some outfit of the days.  I have seen other bloggers doing this and I love it.  I came across one on pinterest a long time ago where the girl posted her outfit every single day!  I think it is great for inspiration and a good reminder of what you wear and how it makes you feel.

 

So here we go:

 

 

The majority of my clothes come from Target, mainly because I cannot drive by one without stopping, and I cant leave one without buying at least something ;)

 

Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen
