if you can't laugh at yourself then what's the point

Have you ever stumbled upon a blog and thought "whoa whoa whoa... who does this chick think she is, having the same personality and thoughts as me?! Where does she live so I can go tell her she's my new best friend give her a piece of my mind?!"
No one?
Bueller? 

Enter Whitney
This girl is it, ya'll.  I swear.  I can go to her blog on any given day and laugh, shake my head in agreement, and then sigh because I just know we'd be best friends.
Just like I know Justin and Britney will one day reunite... sometimes things are just meant to be, ya'll.

So anyway, I was thrilled when I saw that she was hosting a link-up today!
1, because this sister loves a link up, and 2 because I can only imagine what things she has in store for her post.  

Lets start this out by saying things are about to get really real up in here.
Please don't judge me based on the things you're about to see. 


1. I've always had a keen sense of fashion.
Case in point:
You're probably wondering to yourself why I'm not a fashion blogger.
It would kind of be like Picasso trying to teach a "Painting with Pinot" class.
Somethings just shouldn't happen.
John tells me this is his favorite picture of me. 
I tell him he's rude.

2. I've always loved football while simultaneously pampering myself.
 I've also always loved interior design.

3. It's been said that I have a severe fear of Mascots and people in costume.
Here you are witnessing the exact moment this fear came to fruition. 
 Can you see it in my eyes?
Foghorn Leghorn took my soul right as this picture was being taken.
Thumbs down Foghorn, thumbs DOWN.
Also... don't worry about the monochromatic fanny pack paired with the neon flower shorts. 
Rocked it.

4. Occasionally I like to vacation in summery places. 
The more exotic the better.
I hear Panama City, Fl is beautiful during the middle of March.
I believe this picture speaks for itself.
Gone with the wind fabulous. 

5. I definitely have trouble sleeping at night.  I either take forever to finally fall asleep, or I wake up at least 4 times every night. 
Miserable.
The only way I've been known to sleep peacefully is sitting up in a car with red leather interior.
Try it. 
Better than Melatonin. 

And finally... if you haven't noticed by now, I have the worst case of "only child problems" that the world has ever seen.  
Don't worry about me...I'll just be over here in my trucker hat standing alone next to a picture of me... kneeling alone. 
Nothing to see here. 
And again, you can find me rocking high waisted neon shorts before it was cool.
Fashionista ya'll.


So there you have it.
Pretty much all of the facts you need to know to really 'get' me.

And for one more fact, I texted my mother last night asking her to send me some "embarrassing pictures" for this post today.

These are the ones she chose for me.
Dying. 

Love you too, Momma.

Oh Monday...

After a weekend spent doing nothing but enjoying the 70* temps in the middle of January with my favorite 4 legged child, here I am again at work. 
 Cash was saying 'cheese!' for the amazing weather!

If you're not a work right now, I kind of hate you.
Kidding...
but the amount of "out of the office for the holiday" bounce-back emails I've gotten this morning makes me want to throw my computer against the wall.

Instead of getting into a full out rage war with myself and the pointlessness of me being in the office today, I'm going to leave myself you with a little lesson on how to have a 'lovely' day.
Sometimes I wish I were British so I could say words like "lovely" and "brilliant" and "crumpets" and not be looked at all weird.

I'm wishing ya'll a "lovely day"!

Sunday Funday

I've discovered
(discovered isn't really the right word because I've kind of known this all along)
that I live with a lot of guilt.
I feel guilty for leaving my dog at home while I go to work everyday.
I feel guilty for eating any meal at any given time.
I feel guilty for neglecting this blog because I know that ya'll are missing me so much.
See... lots of guilt up in here. 
So I decided to at least get one thing right this week and link up with Neely for Sunday Social!

So... I'm alive and stuff

I honestly don't know how ya'll do this whole 'work all day, take care of family, and still blog on the regular' thing.  When I leave work at 6 every night the LAST thing I want to do when I get home is look at a computer screen.  
*Sigh*
Sadly this little blog has traveled to the ever so desolate land of "the back burner". 
It's sad really.

Let me update you real quick on what's been happening around these parts.
1. Work
2. Work
3. Work
4. Work
oh and 
5. Work

How boring. I seriously have to learn how to balance work and play... because no play makes me no happy. 
And I like being happy.
All suggestions welcome!

As for any 'fun' I've been having...

I've done a little Top Golfin'


It's like Golf, Bowling, and Darts all in one!

Celebrated the boo's birthday:
Wore a Bill Cosby sweater and said "puddin pops" all night long
and made ugly faces while John slept like an angel baby

I hope ya'll have had a great week! 
Happy Friday!!!!

I'm here... but I'm not

So why didn't any of you tell me that having a job in which you actually do work is HARD?!

I feel like my life got flipped, turned upside down-- Fresh Prince style.

I have so much to update ya'll on, with Johns birthday and my first few days at my new job... but I am so overwhelmed right now that I can't even Instagram pictures of my food!

...just kidding, I still Instagram my food.

I will try my very bestest to get back on here soon and keep my loyal friends updated on my ever so exciting life... 
I know ya'll live and breathe by me and everything. 

In the meantime I'll be over here striving to do my best while maintaining my elite party social status...

new news!

Happy Monday, friends!
I hope you've had a weekend full of fun and friends.
This weekend was spent celebrating the birth of my boo!
There'll be a post about this, but that's not why I'm here today.

I'm here to tell you, my faithful readers, that yours truly is funemployed no more! Sister got a job ya'll and while you're reading this I'm sure I'm filling out pages of paperwork.
Girls gotta get paid, right?

So you're probably asking yourself who in their right mind hired me and what in the world will I be doing.
I'll be doing marketing for Young Leaders Campus!
YLC is a child enrichment center focused on creating life long learners and tomorrows leaders.
This place is too cool.
If I were 8 again (which sometimes I think I am) I'd definitely want to come here.
They have a recording studio, gourmet kitchens for cooking classes, full gymnastics gym, baby sensory rooms, library, MAC Lounge, Science lab, and so so much more.

Pretty cool, right?

So my marketing job will be a breeze because this place basically sells itself.
If you're a momma (or daddy) and live in the Houston area definitely check this out!

Well enough about that.

Today is John's actual birthday!! 

He's finally joining me in the quarter century club!
Tonight we're going to dinner with friends and watching the National Championship game.
Fun times!
I hope ya'll had a great weekend!
Talk soon!
Roll Tide :) SEC!

Dear 2013, you win.

What happens when you take 25 20-something friends, 
go to a bar, 
get table service, 
pop bottles like you're lil wayne, 
and dance all night long? 

The following...

 




They say how you spend your New Year is a precursor to how the year will be... well in that case 2013 is going to be a wild ride! 


Happy New Year Ya'll!!
