A little about me

So this tagging thing is going around again and since I have little time to actually be creative and blog about something I came up with, I might as well just do it. I think it might be good to let all my NEW followers get to know me a little better! So here we go! I will be answering 2 sets because, well I have 2 friends who tagged me, and I love them both. And I'm popular...and conceited! 

Questions from Hannah

What is your favorite movie?
Gosh, I have so many. I think it would have to be either Sweet Home Alabama and/or Pretty Woman. Two southern movies, how could you not LOVE them!

Have you read any books lately and if so, what are they? Um, I may or may not be addicted to The Hunger Games. I have finished the first one and I am currently reading the second. Cannot wait to read the third and see the movie!

Spring, summer, fall, or winter? 

Fall/Winter. I love tanning and summer things, but I HATE the heat with a passion. I just love the pretty colors or fall and winter. 

Sushi: love it or hate it?

Not a fan. Not a seafood fan at all, but I will admit I have never actually tried sushi. So maybe I should?

What is your favorite band/artist?

I love me some country. I can't exactly pick, but if I was forced to it would be Rascal Flatts for the band and Jason Aldean or Luke Bryan for the singer!

Do you have any pets, what kind, and what are their names?

I do not. Not exactly a pet person. Don't judge me.

Do you prefer coffee or tea?

SWEET TEA. How could you even compare the two?!

What is your dream job?

I see myself working with probationers or parolees but I could have any job it would be to work for the Susan G. Komen foundation!

If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

Loud
 

What is your favorite animal?

Giraffes. I just love them. I' m not exactly sure why, but I think they are gorgeous! I am also a sucker for some penguins with their little bitty waddles!

What are you most proud of?

Being 2 months from graduating college! And not taking crap from anyone. Two totally unrelated things, but hey.

Questions from Heather

1.  What do you eat for breakfast?

I usually have fruit or a granola bar.

 

2.  What's the scariest thing you've ever done?

hmm...I really don't know. I'm not much of an adventurer. I have no cool stories.

3.  Who do you most admire?

My sister. She took care of me for basically my whole life. We are 18 years apart so she is like my mom! When my mom passed away, she was the person who was there for me the most. She has gone thru some hard times herself since and I couldn't be more proud of the way she handled herself. She is wonderful!

 

4.  If you won the lotto, what would you do?

I would buy a new car, pay cash for it, move to an awesome city and help my family and friends. Then probably buy some things I have always wanted but could never afford! Oh and I would go to a Denver Broncos game!

 

5.  What do you think first thing in the morning?

Slap that alarm clock and then get on twitter to force myself to keep my eyes open!

 

6.  Mexican or Italian food?

Oh yikes. Thats super hard! I love them both!

 

7.  Salty or sweet?

Sweet. I love sweets!

 

8.  Do you have any secrets that NOBODY knows?

I have a few. Just some things I don't think people need to know. One day I will meet someone who I feel comfortable telling them to!

 

9.  What is your job and do you like it?

I currently work at Monograms and More, a local gift shop in my town, and I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. IF I could stay there my whole life and make proper money, I would. I am a people person and I just love people I meet and help daily!

 

10.  If you could do anything, what would you do?

Denver Broncos games-50 yard line. And travel to England and stay for a few weeks just sightseeing!

 

11.  Have you ever fired a gun? 

Um, hello. I live in Georgia. HAHA, I have but it has been a good while. I need to brush up on my skills huh!?

Sorry I didn't come up with my own questions or tag anyone. I am on to homework! Stay tuned this week for my weekend recap...complete with pictures! 

Have a great night/ Tuesday y'all!

I promise I'm alive

Hey y'all! I know that my posts have been none existent the last week. I am so sorry and I have literally felt guilty everyday. I haven't even logged into blogger in like 5 days. eeeek.

Things have been crazy, emotional, and everywhere in between. You list an adjective and I have probably felt it this week. I want to tell you everything, but I just need to get my thoughts together and collect myself. I think I am going to continue my hiatus until Monday, at least, and then hopefully I will have something to say. 

In the mean time, don't worry about me. It's nothing life-threatening for me or anyone I know and it's really nothing serious (only to me really) so I am all good! 

I am hanging out with the bestie (Ashley) tomorrow and Monday to try and clear my head and get myself together. Don't you love girlie time? 

YEAH!

Anywho, I am gonna hit the hay and get some rest before tomorrow. I need to pack, get a fill-in on these hot mess nails I've been sporting and then head out in time to get to her house by dark time! 

I hope you are all having a fab week/weekend and I promise to be back to normal within the next few days! Hey, I might even take some pictures and post them so you can see that I am alive and well and not just pulling yo legs!

LOVE YOU ALL! :)

The leg workout I promised to share..

Happy Monday. My day was super busy and productive. I took my exit exam which I did well on and I am happy to report that I will be graduating unless I fail any of my classes I am taking. Hopefully not! I worked out/walked 3.5 miles with the Hannah, my walking buddy and gossip girl (and by gossip I mean about reality TV or the like because we both lead not exciting lives), then made it to school in time to see a very prominent figure in the sociology world. I will be posting about that later, but let's just say I was honored to be able to finally meet him. Nerd..

So a few of you have been asking me to post the links to those leg exercises I have been doing lately. I know, I know, I keep forgetting but I finally remembered so that must count for something, yeah?

The leg exercises are seriously gonna work you and make you sore the next day like they did me, if you do them correctly and the right way. 

Check them out HERE!

I did followed the instructions exactly and did the reps like it said and I was sore for 2 days afterwards. They are so simple and easy that you can literally do them at home on a commercial break at night. Most of them are not new exercises to us. I remember doing the heel raises in high school. I think for me though, since I have been walking and running so much lately, my calves didn't really get sore because I had been using them so much. 

I did the whole cycle of exercises through one time then started over again. You obviously don't have to follow it that way or do all of them for that matter. Whatever and however you are comfy doing them, go for that!

My thighs, however, were killing me (in a good way). I think they are pretty simple and generally anyone can do them. Now, I am not a doctor, trainer or anything of that nature so please be cautious and don't sue me if something goes wrong and you break something, k? 

Gracias. 

I hope everyone's Monday went off without a hitch and that you successfully made it through. Tomorrow's Tuesday which means only 3 more days until the weekend! 

Toodles, bloggies!

ps. I promise I am going to post about my giveaway this week! I am still trying to finalize some things and figure out what exactly I am going to giveaway, so if you have friends, tell them to come over and follow me so they can enter too! 

Lazy Sunday

As Sunday is winding down and we are gearing up for another week, I decided to hopefully make y'all laugh and not be bummed about Monday. 

Raise your hand if you feel like this as we speak? Don't be 'shamed! This is totally me! Why can't it be socially acceptable to go places without pants? Just saying..

I hope you all have a fabulous week! I have my senior exit exam tomorrow at 1pm and I am a little nervous! I know it will be fine, but this whole graduation thing is becoming real now!

There is a speaker coming to our school tomorrow too named Tim Wise, maybe you've heard of him? Or maybe I'm just a sociology nerd. Anways, he is a HUGE deal to us sociology majors and I am soooo pumped that he is coming to speak. I can't wait! Check him out if you haven't. 

I will be posting about my giveaway this week. I already have some things in my possession that I will be giving away, so don't miss out. 

Lastly, a big shout out to ALL my new followers. I am so honored to have you here! It makes my heart so happy to see new followers everyday! I think this whole blogging thing may just work out after all! 

Love you all! 

ps. Army Wives comes on at 9 tonight. I will be watching. If you've never checked it out, you need to. Seriously one of the best shows I have ever watched. 

20 days and counting until I'm out of Milly! :)

I confess...

Happy Friday y'all! Thank goodness! Here's to hoping the day doesn't drag on and that we can get this party started...and by party, I mean weekend! 

Sorry for the 3rd link-up in a row this week, but I swear this weekend I am going to come up with something good to post about. Just bear with me one more day and I will be back on my game as usual! 

I'm linking up with Leslie for some Confessional Friday. You know what she says, the truth will set you free. This is a judgement free post, so go link it up ladies! 

Today I'm confessing. 

I walked/ran 3 miles today. And I liked it. I have been exercising a lot lately, but the running thing is just not me, but I actually don't hate it. Shocker.

I didn't wear a sports bra to do said running/walking today and the girls were hating me. They still aren't speaking to me actually. In true female fashion, I'm getting the silent treatment until further notice.

I am going to clean out my closet this weekend and I plan on getting rid of a ton of stuff, but I can't make any promises. I get so attached to my clothes, even if I don't wear them anymore. Some of them have memories attached..

I almost called the campus police yesterday and got a car towed. First of all, they parked in a yellow zone which means no parking. Then they got so close to me, I doubt I could have fit my finger between our cars. It literally took me 5 minutes to get out. I wanted to leave a mean note or call, but I didn't. Either way, I was livid.

I got a pair of TOMS put on hold for me at a local store that sells them and I am debating on whether or not to get them. It would be my 2nd pair. They are cute, comfy and it supports a good cause. If you know me, I'll get them. Hate myself. 

What are y'all confessing? Go link it up!

AND NOW FOR SOME BIG NEWS..

I posted that when I reached 50 followers, I would a little giveaway. I cannot reveal what I am going to put together just yet, but the ideas are forming and I have a plan. I hit 51 today so I am keeping my promise! 

As for the gift, you will have to stay tuned and be sure to enter so you can win! 

This is so exciting to me, y'all! Thanks for all my newest followers and my loyal ones who have been here a while. I really appreciate you all and this is a chance to show just how much! 

Be on the lookout! 

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend!

It's OK Thursday.

Thursday means one more day 'til the glorious weekend! Praise the good Lord. This week has been long for some reason, but I think the next three weeks will drag for me because it's officially the month I will be flying to see mystery boy. Of course, it will go by soooo slow and seem like it's never going to get here. Until then, let's just link it up ladies! 

It's Ok....

that I am typing this post when I should be preparing for my discussion that I have today at 12:30. I mean, a little procrastination never hurt anyone right?

that I made a 94 on my second Spanish test. All I know is that I have a whole lotta angels that were on my side last week because I needed that grade to bring up my horrible first test grade! Thank ya Jesus!

that I spent way too much money purchasing luggage and accessories for my trip. I just feel like it was more of an investment because I will need it in the future I'm sure. 

that I only gained ONE new follower in weeks. Quality over quantity right?

that Tuesday nights will be a little easier now that Teen Mom is over. I literally can't watch everything I love at the same exact time. It's the most stressful time of my whole week pretty much. And I now realize how pathetic I am. WOW

that when I get off work in the evenings and go to the tanning bed, I seem to not be able to lay as long. Maybe because I'm tired and worn out and ready to be home. Maybe it's mental...maybe I'm mental. 

It's probably the second one. 

that I plan on going through my closet this weekend and getting things ready for an upcoming yard sale. I have tooooo many clothes that I need to get rid of. If you're in the area March 10, come by! HAHA

that I have my eye on monogrammed stationary. Like legit kind. I will need it for graduation thank you cards anyways.

that I have eaten chicken almost every night this week for dinner. Gotta love the no carb thing. 

that I stay up pinning late at night during the week sometimes and wonder why there aren't any new pins after a while then I realize it's like 2am on a weeknight. People be sleeping.

that I would consider posting one of those lame countdown things on my blog to countdown the days til Spring Break. I'll just do it in my head/on twitter so y'all aren't annoyed with my obsession! 

What are you OK with today?

Go link up with Neely and Amber 

Happy almost weekend!
