Seriously? Who Doesn't Text These Days?!!?

So as you may or may not know, Justin and I met on match.com.

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE :)

It all started out as a joke. Heather and I were both going to sign up and see where it went. I mean we had already been thru every kind of relationship possible between the two of us. This couldn't be that much worse.

Turns out, I was the only one who set up an account, but a year and a half later, I'm in love with my soulmate!

Anyways, about my corny title...Heather FINALLY agreed to sign up. After endless dead ends through out the past year and a half, she finally decided to give in to my pushing and sign up. While she hasn't had the best of luck (but then again its only been 4 days). She finally found one today!

His name is Rollin and he is such a cutie! He is as country as they come and perfect for Heather.

Below is a conversation we had via text this afternoon:

Heather: So guess what kind of phone Rollin has?

Me: iPhone? And wait have ya'll been texting all day?

H: a freaking RAZR!!!!!!!!!! WTF and no we exchanged one text because of that issue!!!

A: Wait... You aren't talking to him because he has a RAZR?

H: No he can't text lol <--- This line made me lol :)

A: Oh hahahah seriously? This is 2011 and he can't text?

H: I know right WTF

A: Are you gonna message him later and be like for real? Are you a grandpa?

H: Haha no he's sooo country, I think that's why.

And to keep from boring you with the rest of the convo...she is going to keep talking to him and hopefully with her good looks and charm she can convince him to add texting to his outdated phone. It's only like $10-$15 a month!!



Bad Blogger

I have been a very bad blogger this week, I'm really sorry :)

Now that the apologizes are over...I have been super busy this week. Not just with work, which has actually finally picked up a little, but with my social life.

The diet went to HELL his week. I have promised myself that come Monday, I'm back on it full force.

I have been going out after work a lot. Monday night, Heather and I went to dinner and went to the mall, although I didn't buy a single thing (except dinner). Tuesday night, I went and saw my bosses kids for the first time in a year! They have gotten so big and are so very cute! Then I had to take dinner home to my hurt boyfriend. (More about that later) Last night, I went to TJ Maxx and got some super cute stuff! I also checked out Target, but all I bought was a movie. Tonight, Heather and I are going shopping at a different mall, and tomorrow, Carrie and I are going shopping at another mall. My cute boyfriend asked this morning if I was ever going to get tired of shopping? :) He has another thing coming if he thinks so!

So on to the hurt boyfriend part of my recap. Justin decided to play hooky on Monday and stay home for 8 hours of what they call "school time". Apparently his office gives each person, 16 hours of school time each year. This can be used to check out a college, go with your kid on a field trip, go to an awards day for your child, or in Justin's case - play hooky.

Tuesday morning he wakes up with a bruised foot and in a lot of pain. Normally if he gets up in the middle of the night, I feel him. He didn't get up the night before. I made him go to the doctor. Turns out, he severely sprained it. I guess he kicked the bed in the middle of the night and hurt himself pretty bad. So now he was up to two days off work. He is now playing catch up, working super late and apparently working on Saturday - missing a family outing in Fayetteville :(

Sadly, I can't help but be a little upset. I don't blame it on him, but I feel like almost everytime we are supposed to do something with my family, he is sick or hurt. Just really irks me!

Happy Thursday Y'all (well in my case its my Friday)

Weekend Recap :)

Do you remember the conversation between Carrie & Charlotte (Sex & The City, the first movie) when they are shopping for furniture for Carrie's apartment. She is talking to Charlotte about why she stopped running since she found out that she was pregnant. Charlotte is worried that something bad will happen, because SO many good things have happened.

I am beginning to feel this way as well, my life can't get much better than it is now!

My weekend was absolutely wonderful. Not one complaint the entire time. Well except that I had to wake up this morning and leave my lover in bed, since he has time to take off "just because he feels like it" But other than that, it was perfect!

I got home Friday afternoon and Momma and I went shopping for decorations and lingerie for Morgan's lingerie party. I haven't been to Party City in forever and they have some of the cutest things! I got two zebra serving trays (big enough to fit tons of fruit on them) for $4.99 a piece!! I also tried out some of the tissue paper flower balls that I've seen on some blogs, harder than they look!

I was off the diet this weekend, but surprisingly I still did rather well. Momma and I went to Red Robin for dinner and I only ate about half of my meal. Then as we were leaving, we passed a bent over bus boy. My mom begins laughing hysterically (and that in itself is a treat, her laugh is very unique) and when I ask what is so funny her reply is this: "I had to physically stop myself from kneeing him in the butt" - gosh I love her :)

After dinner we headed to the mall to find some lingerie. Now I kept telling everyone that I planned on getting something as slutty as I could. Not because that is the kind of person Morgan is, but because it's just so funny! So as mom and I are looking we run into our preacher's wife from church (who also happens to be Morgan's aunt) and her daughter and friend. They were also looking for something. I ended up picking out some cute black panties that say "property of the groom" in silver sparkles, a very slutty see-thru number and a candy g-string!

We woke up bright and early Saturday morning for breakfast with my dad and grandpa. Afterwards we tackled grocery shopping at Wal-mart with the entire town of Hope Mills, not to mention it was 100 degrees by 11AM and either it was all the people or Wal-mart's air wasn't working.

We got home and began getting everything ready for the party. We cut up fruit for hours and made penis shaped mac and cheese. It's hard buying decorations for someone else's house, not to mention when someone else is buying the table cloth and the plates, cups and napkins! Luckily everything worked out. We had a blast at the shower and Morgan surely racked up, especially from Victoria's Secret :)

Sunday was filled with church, lunch at Micasitas :) and naps. Then I came home to my love and we watched Big Brother. Let's not get started on Rachel's dramatics this week. I mean seriously you act like you are in elementary school and cry to Brendan because Jordan didn't pick you to watch a TV show!?! Something is seriously wrong, and I doubt Rachel & Brendan's relationship will make it thru this summer!

Now another week has begun, but tonight Heather and I are having dinner at Logan's - my diet restarts tomorrow. Did I mention that I weighed Wednesday night @ my parents house and when I weighed yesterday morning I was 9 and 1/2 pounds lighter? I'm sure its a mistake, but it was definitely the boost I needed :) Not to mention that I get to see my bosses kids, who I haven't seen in almost a year!!

Now for some pictures of the weekend! Happy Monday Y'all! (:

Hot Thursday & The Weekend!

First, I would like to share with you a few pics from my iPhone weather app :)

 {where I live}

{where momma & daddy live & where I have decided to spend the weekend}

How crazy is this y'all? I mean why is it necessary to be this hot? However, at least we have AC to keep us cool!

Definitely ready for fall & winter to be here, and quick!!

Now on to other things (:

I just got back from Momma and Daddy's this morning. Oh how I love the fact that they live an hour a way and that it isn't impossible for me to go stay for the night. Momma made her amazing beef tips, rice and gravy (probably not good for my diet) and then we watched Big Brother. My mom then proceeded to dye my hair back to its normal dark brown. I am tired of paying close to $100 every few weeks to get highlights and a haircut. My aunt does hair, so she told us what to buy from Sally's :) It turned out a tad bit darker than normal, but that's okay. Now, I just need a haircut!

Today is my Friday! So tomorrow, I will be packing to return to Hope Mills for the weekend. Morgan's lingerie shower is Saturday and I am sure it will be a hoot! I am gonna go shopping for her Friday night with momma :)

Happy Thursday y'all, stay cool :)



What I'm Loving Wednesday :)

Let's start off this lovely Wednesday morning with a few things I'm loving :) PS - I think italics is my new favorite!!)

1. Half Day at Work - I get to leave work at 12PM today, which means I will only be at work for 3 hours. I have a dentist appointment in Fayetteville. I've lived in Raleigh for a year and half now and still haven't found an OBGYN and dentist up here. I did change eye doctors but that's not a huge thing. Normally, leaving work early to go to the dentist wouldn't be so exciting, and while I'm not exactly thrilled to be going to the dentist, I've never been one to hate it. Maybe I just have really good teeth (no cavities for this girl).

2. Momma's Beef Tips - This is what I get to eat for dinner. While it's not exactly super diet friendly, its way better than my second choice which would be Micasitas. Micasitas is my favorite restaurant from home and while it serves Mexican, my favorite meal is the chicken fingers and fries with cheese dip - yes I'm that weirdo that doesn't get Mexican at a Mexican restaurant (: Anyways...I called to put in a request for some of Momma's home cooking and she accepted!

3. Dinner Dates with Megan - Last night my dear friend Megan and I went to dinner. We were both on a budget and while I was seriously craving Chick-Fil-A (remember my post from yesterday with the calorie breakdown) we had a simple dinner there. We talked for 2 hours! I'm telling you, we always have the best time when we get together! I've known Megan since my senior year in high school which was 6 years ago. She recently moved to Raleigh for an internship and lucky for me, she loves Raleigh (how could you not?) and wants to stay for good!! :) I always welcome my friends moving closer to me!!

{this was the most recent picture I have of Megan and I - 2 years ago on her 21st}

4. Heather - I can't explain how happy I am she is back in my life. We talked on the phone yesterday and it felt like we never missed a day. Sometimes, two people are just meant to be together and that's how I feel about us. As I stated in a previous post Heather is expecting. She is around 15 weeks and has a doctor's appointment this afternoon to make sure everything is okay (she was pregnant earlier this year and had a miscarriage and is starting to experience some of the same symptoms) I've been praying non-stop since Monday that everything would be all right. I am so blessed to be apart of this huge milestone in her life!

5. Morgan's Lingerie Shower - One of my other lifelong friends, Morgan is getting married November 19, 2011 and I am a bridesmaid in her wedding! This weekend is her lingerie party. I've known Morgan since I was in 3rd grade, so for 15 years. I am so happy that she has found such a great guy to spend the rest of her life with. I got her a candy g-string as one of her presents ;) Maybe I should have thought about the fact that I haven't had a lingerie party yet, and what goes around comes around?!!? Oh well -its all in fun. Now for a few pics of Morgan and I!

Happy Wednesday Y'all :)

Diet Update

So Today is officially one week into mine and J's diet. Today, so far is proving to be the hardest day I've had yet, and I don't know why. I've done good so far. I woke up, ate breakfast and have been drinking my water. I have half of a turkey and provolone sandwich for lunch and all I want to do is forget about that and head to Chick-fil-a. So bad in fact that I used their meal calculator to find out that I could have the following:

8 count chicken nuggets
Medium waffle fries
Medium coke

Calories: 790

Now to me, that isn't a lot. For one meal that isn't half bad. I am going off a 2,000 Calorie diet. This means that I am still allowed to have 1,000 calories (the 210 I'm leaving out were for my bowl of mini-wheats this morning) I find myself thinking, man that could definitely be worth it.

Oh how I wish I wouldn't have added all of that up now.

Other than random cravings like this one, I'm doing pretty good.

Everything Happens for a Reason

Remeber my post last week about the life long friend I lost, if not ready it here.

I sent her a message oh probably two weeks ago asking when she planned on moving out of our old apartment and when could I get my keys back. She never replied.

Today, she replied. We have texted back and forth all day. Taking things slow, and just catching up. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I feel like things could go back to normal, eventually, one day far down the road.

Her exciting news is that she is expecting :) She is due in January and doesn't want to find out the sex. I would die waiting to find out! However, she isn't out of the woods yet, so keep her in your prayers, as well as our ever rekindling friendship!

I'll leave you with a picture of her cute little prego belly (:

:)
