1. Favorite purchase: This pug statue I found last night at TJ Maxx! I have had my eye on these for awhile, but they never had anything that resembled either of my dogs. The cashier who rang me up was like awe do you have a bulldog? I was like ummm I thought that was a pug. She was like well I guess it is sort of close to either. I was like lets go with pug…it makes me feel better! This morning I asked Chris if he noticed our new addition. He said “How did we ever live without it?” I ask myself that same question!
2. Favorite Song – Lil Wayne Bow Chicka Wow Wow. I just freaking love this song. Your welcome.
3. Favorite moment – I wish anything in life got me as excited as wet food makes my dogs. I mean honestly, they ran me over to get out of their crates this morning to get to their food. They just inhale it and eat it a whole bowl in about one minute.
4. Favorite shows to watch right now – Grimm and The Originals. I like weird shit, what can I say!?
Gotta watch those hexenbiests.
No one forgives you Klaus.
Elijah, I will be your family!
5. Favorite ecards – After this past week in the car, all I have to say is:
As always, there are a crap ton of good link ups on Friday…so I just do a little of each. Variety is the spice of life my friends! Have a great weekend!
Thursdays have been a day for me telling stories from the past as of late. I really have been enjoying remembering things that might not have been funny at the time….but are funny as hell now!!! That and….I have all this written out for me to reflect back on one day when my memory might not be so great. So there’s that.
Remember disposable cameras? If you don’t, you are too young and you can shut your face. But seriously, in college my friends and I usually took picture with disposable cameras and had to take them to Walgreen’s or Eckerd (which I guess is Rite Aid now) to be developed. Remember Eckerd?
This was all fine and dandy. It was always fun to go pick them up a few hours later….and you couldn’t wait to tear into that photo envelope and see all the pretty pictures of you and your friends dancing drunk white people style to Fever for the Flava by Hot Action Cops.
You would think of the perfect picture frame to proudly display those moments. It was wonderful. Remember when we even got photos developed instead of just having them on our iPhones?
Anyways. It was great times….until this one time. One time, my friend Erin and I had a party at our apartment. We had been draaaaanking a little bit and evidently little miss Erin left her camera out in our kitchen. No biggie, right? I mean, it was there and wasn’t lost.
We picked that camera up the next morning and realized that we had used up all the film. I had a camera that was full too so we thought we would drop off our cameras to get developed while we were at the tanning bed. (Another tragic mistake of my youth.)
We smiled and were all friendly with the photo people at our local drug store and headed on out.
When we came back to pick up our film, the guy asked us if we wanted to take a look at our photos first. Then he had this really weird smile and sort of giggled. WTF? Ummm normally we would just pay for them all and leave but for whatever reason we decided to open the envelope in the store. Selfie of Nadine (I was taking selfies before it was a thing bitches), Eric and Tim drinking Natty Lights in the 40 ounce cans like the classy guys they were, Alfredo hugging a floor lamp, Erin laying on the floor asking me to feel her lips because she couldn’t feel them (drunk problems) Kyle’s ass, Nadine and Erin Dancing…..WAIT. PUMP THE BRAKES. Oh holy hell. Those bastards stole our camera….and mooned it then put it back!!!!!
The photo lab guy started busting out laughing. We tried to explain our cameras were high jacked but there was no digging ourselves out of this grave. We gladly paid for the photos and quickly got ourselves out of there. Fumed in the car…then plotted our revenge.
Eric went home that weekend, we broke into his bedroom, plastered pick up lines all over his walls and taped the photo of Kyle’s naked ass to bottom of his pillow. We also plastered that picture outside their apartments on the doors.
That my friends is why you don’t leave your camera unattended.
Proof of my selfies in 2005
Now, I have a huge favor to ask. My husband’s company is being interviewed by Google today. If you had it in your heart to help out, could you follow them on a social media platform? Or all of them? It would be super awesome of you!
Today is the 10th anniversary of Mean Girls. Say whaaaaa? Ten years? Really? Well whip out your pink and lets get to some confessions!
–I skipped my work out yesterday morning. Crazy weather had me up way WAY past my bed time. I had full intentions of making it up when I got home last night…but no. Not so much.
–So this morning? My workout kicked my ass.
–I believe in the five second rule. No need to waste perfectly good food.
–Captcha – I really hate it. Like really. Turn it off!!! Yesterday I was leaving a comment for someone and one of the words was anxiety. WTF? I didn’t need that weird omen as I was worrying about storms. It was just so wrong. Next time I cant get it the first time, I am not leaving my comment.
–I find flip flops with my dress pants for work totally acceptable. They are nice flip flops, not rubber Old Navy ones.
–I don’t like when my food touches on my plate. Like just give me a bigger freaking plate so that my food world can be at peace.
–I really hate when I am in the break room enjoying my lunch and reading my book…then some loud ass people come in and have a 10 minute conversation right next to me. Like seriously. I am READING. Go talk somewhere else. You aren’t even in here to eat.
–I have a hard time picking out stuff for my mom for mother’s day. Not because I can’t think of anything, but because I have so many damn ideas in my head that I can’t decide which one to go with. So I wait and wait and wait and end up buying something last minute because I waited to long and couldn’t decide.
–Apparently I work better under pressure.
–The next person that jump cuts me in line is going to be sorry. I HATE when I am in line at say Target and they decided to open a new register and while I have been standing in line for a few minutes now, your sorry ass just walks up and goes to the new register while I am trying to get over there after they told me I could. Then, you realize that the cashier was waiting on me, yet you still go ahead and check out. RUDE! I will sigh loudly and make a snarky comment out loud and give you the evil eye the entire time.
–I am just really really confused about how in the hell today is the last day of April already?
–Every year I have to share this somewhere. Today is your lucky day!
I have so many random thoughts going on in my head today. Perhaps because I got about 3 hours of sleep last night? There is not enough coffee in the world today to bring me to 100%. There are always “currently” posts flying around blog world and I have never done one. We can’t say that anymore after today!
All I have to say after last nights storms is: So many polygons and warnings, so little nerves!!!
Watching : The weather. Like it’s my job. Literally. This is me iat my office yesterday around 3:00 pm when James Spann first went live. We are supposed to have another round today starting at 3:00pm. Oh goodie goodie. If the tornadoes don’t come for me, it might be my nerves that get the best of me!
Feeling: Annoyed. I finally painted my nails after weeks of them being bare. One day in and there are already THREE fingers chipped. Seriously? Why do I even bother!!!
I am side eyeing you mr pinky. Get your shit together!
Reading: If You Ask Me (And of Course You Wont) by Betty White. I just finished reading the Best of Me this past weekend. It was a great read, but I need a break from Nicholas Sparks for now….two tear jerkers in a row are enough! My mom gave me this book a few years ago and I have yet to get around to reading it. I figure it will be a light and easy read. Plus, there are a lot of pictures. Who doesn’t like pictures?
Eating: My meals lately have consisted of protein smoothies for breakfast, mostly salads and veggies for lunch and then a protein and side for dinner. This morning specifically consisted of two cups of coffee and counting.
Wanting/Loving: All of these beautiful spring prints and romantic lace options. Check out some things I have my eyes on!
Listening: I listened to my “high school/college” playlist on Spotify this morning while getting ready. In This Skin came on by Jessica Simpson. I just love this song.
Well hey there. It seems another weekend has come and gone way to quickly. This weekend was mostly chill for us. I got a lot of cleaning done around the house, the dogs got bathed, Mac got his hair did, and there was certainly some TV watching and Law and Order SVU marathoning going on. I also finished another book, The Best of Me. Way to pull at my heart strings once more, Nicholas Sparks!
The most notable event from this weekend though would hands down be the celebration of love that occurred on Saturday as Chris and Adam exchanged vowels. The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. The bride was radiant. The decor was absolutely perfect. This has to have been the funnest wedding I have ever attended!
The exchanging of vowels.
The crowd gathered around Chris and Adam as they exchanged vowels.
Courtney and I waiting to get the party started!
Obligatory wedding selfies. Duh.
The Friday lunch club! We are a diversified group. We have Rashmin (The Indian), Chris (The Mexican), Courtney (The Texan) and me (The Yankee)
This is my attempt at trying to be artistic with my photographic skills. Cheers to the bride and groom. #fail (Lauren, I am sorry…but the hashtag was appropriate here!!!!)
Our dancing was off the change. No one can do it better than the white girls!
Some of the beautiful touches of the wedding. SO many little details and each of them perfect!!!
Things I learn this weekend:
Dancing really is a work out and builds up a good sweat.
I have 30 year old knees.
I have 30 year old feet.
I need not have buzz to act a fool on the dance floor. I can do it all on my own.
I like New Castle.
In other news, just as quick as the beautiful weather came, it went away. We are supposed to have some severe weather over the next few days. I basically will be a basket case, not sleep, and worry until I want to puke. If you read my post yesterday, then you know why. I saw that there were some tornadoes over Arkansas and the Midwest yesterday and it makes me sad for them….and sad for us as it is coming this way.Such is April in Alabama. Everyone stay safe, and have a great week!
