Friday isn't going as great as I'd like but I've decided to say screw it all. Until I can move far, far away from the people that drive me to drink, I just need to take a breath (and a drink) and move on to focusing on happy things.

Like?

-- Today is National Margarita Day! And I totally deserve one tonight, FYI Ronnie! ;)

-- This clip from Sex And The City always always puts me in a better mood. The SATC days were the best. And Carrie is my dream girl. All these years later I still haven't dealt with the fact that the show is never coming back.

 

-- I've done some here and there PR work for my company but was finally given the official title of PR Manager a couple days ago! It also comes with a raise which littlebabyjesus knows we can use so I am ECSTATIC!

 

-- Lots of fun stuff going this weekend - Ronnie's cousin's baby shower and a good friend's birthday party for her "Irish twins". Fun!

-- More prep this weekend for this chick's birthday party next weekend! (Ronnie took this picture yesterday. Oh, my heart.)

 

I copied Shannon and finally signed up for Bloglovin and am gonna try following blogs from there and see how it goes. I'm liking the set up so far. What do y'all think of it?

Happy Weekend! :)

it's fridaaaay!

Obviously I have a bad case of ants in my pants because I changed up my blog again! I got sick of the pre-made template I bought so I just did what I could in the couple of hours I had free. (at work, of course. Shhhh..When would I have time at home?! ha) It's plain and I'm sure I'll keep messing with it but for now, I'm good. At least until mama can scrounge up some money for a super fancy custom blog. One day ;)

Would you mind looking around and let me know if anything looks wonky on your end? I'm an amateur, remember...

oh and can you also take a gander at recent pictures of the babe? She's pretty cute, no? ;)

My tree is FINALLY going up tomorrow and I plan to spend lots and lots of time with my honey before I lose him to finals week....Thankfully I get him back soon after for a few weeks while he's off on winter break! So excited! Hopefully we can squeeze in taking V to get Santa pictures too. Worried about the crowds though! :/

I'm gonna make you jealous now and tell you it's just after 2pm and i'm leaving work!! There's zero to do here anyway and V has her 9 month appointment this afternoon so peace out to this joint.

What are your plans for the weekend? have a great time!

Today

Is much better than yesterday, thank the lawd for that!

I'm not sure why the hell I'm blogging so late. I don't even have much to share...This is all I could come up with but ya know, memories and stuff. That's what my blog is made of.

Today the local "soft rock" station started their 24/7 Christmas music! Exact same day they did it last year too. This is awesome.

Our office center put up some Christmas decor! (Last January that fountain froze over. Which was totally amazing to us South Texans ;)

and the bosses have been gone all day, we may or may not have partaken in Happy Hour during lunch and it's effing Friday, y'all. LIFE IS GOOD.

This Friday dance is totally going on in my head right now too. (Every time I see a gif. now I think you of Marcy! hahaha)

I'm so ready for the weekend, y'all! It's been a long few days. This has been the scene the past two nights. Screaming, reading, snuggling in bed, passing out for short periods...then more screaming :(

Today Ronnie woke up feeling sick too - stupid allergies. Of course, I'm feeling like the worst mom ever because I'm at work and can't be there. Thanks of course to having used all my sick leave for my gallbladder surgery. This working mom thing really blows a lot of the time but it's gotta be done!

What do you have planned for the weekend?

I see beer in my future.

On the mushy side

"I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it!" {where's that from? Go!}

Ok so ever since we came to the crappy decision of moving, Ronnie and I have been stressed beyond belief. We've had trouble sleeping, we've been getting headaches and we have been majorly on edge. We should be planning this whole move but instead it's like we're trying so hard not to even think about what it's like to not live together. {Geez, we sound like weirdos.}

Last night we went and picked up some burgers from one of our fave hole in the wall places. Nothing out of the ordinary but since we were near the Zoo, I had the idea that we should go eat at the nearby park instead of going home. So we set our "picnic" and got to enjoy a nice breeze and a pretty sunset. We could hear the sound of kids laughter from the softball game down the road and it was just so peaceful and relaxing. Afterward we crossed the street to the Japanese Tea Gardens to take a romantical stroll where we pretty much acted like we were just dating again. And it was perfection.

And here's where I get serious. Doing all of this made me realize that despite spending most of our time together, we actually have forgotten to focus on living in the moment together and making things special. Cheesy but true. This impromptu date was nothing fancy but we ended up having the best time that we've had in a while! And today, I'm actually kinda looking forward to the move. Crazy huh? I know it will be good for saving money and all but when we do finally get to see eachother that one time each week, we are going to cherish the hell out it! And that part is pretty exciting don't you think?

Who knew a cheap date could work such wonders! :)

Apparently there was a crew filming at the gardens but we saw no sign of them, just their very professional signage warning us we might end up on their film. If they were there, they probably caught some good PDA ;)

Thanks for letting me get all serious for a moment... It's just nice to have something change your perspective in a good way!

Have a great Friday, y'all!

xoxoxo

happy thoughts

Well, it looks like the move to San Marcos may be coming sooner than I thought....and I may not be the one moving after all.

No, Ronnie and I are NOT breaking up {and nowhere near that} but we are making a huge change to our living situation starting NEXT WEEK! It will be a trial run for the official move happening August 1st, which will then begin 2 YEARS of living seperately. Neither one of us is thrilled about it but we know it has to be done. It really is a sucky set up and I'm gonna stop talking about it before I cry...but deep down I know we'll get through it. Love is all you need, right? :)

Speaking of love, you know I love love and I love color...so I pinned my evening away finding pretty, cheery things and am doing the same this morning. If you're having a bad day or are just having a pity party like I am, I hope that these will make ya smile ;)

 Happy Friday, y'all :) 

{p.s. just found out my baby sis got her driver's license today! beware, san antonio drivers! ha!}

{p.p.s. I've been hit with the Blogger bug that's not allowing me to leave comments. Boo!}

Hellooooo, Friday!

Friday's are usually the slowest day at work but that is so not the case today. My desk is stacked full of crap that I'm trying my best to avoid doing and my inbox is non-stop...I also feel like the clock isn't moving AT ALL...But I have no shame in taking this much needed break to get mah blog on! 

 

 

So, all kinds of randomness in my noggin today!

 

+First off, what is up with Blogger lately? I'm having trouble commenting on some of your blogs and I can no longer see my followers or anyone elses! How hard is it to make this site work correctly? Do they need me to come down and fix this stuff once and for all? {Ha. Let me at it and Blogger would end up down and erased forever!}
 

+Secondly, I have decided that Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion is THE end all, be all of hand lotions. I fell in love with it a while back but kept switching back and forth between that and Bath & Body Works lotions because their scents are just so good! But lately I've been feeling like with BB&W, it's as if I'm rubbing scented water on my hands which obviously does nothing for my poor, dry hands. So I'm throwing the water lotion out and becoming forever an Aveeno girl! Try it if you haven't already, for real.

+Thirdly, I never told y'all that I finally got to see Bridesmaids last weekend and all I can say is YOU HAVE TO EFFING SEE IT. I laughed so hard through the entire thing I thought I might cry. Or pee my pants. Go with your mom, sister, girlfriends, whoever, it is just hilarious! I'm already making plans to see it again, this time with Ronnie and again with some friends. Can we say OBSESSED?

+ Fourthly {is that even right?}, I updated my About Me and Contact Me pages because, well, I was bored. {Did I mention I've been procrastinating at work?} But most importantly, I added a Buttons Page where I will be adding your pretty blog buttons! So comment and let me know if you have a button because I will totally add that shiz!

+And in conclusion, let me just say, I love me some Meg O.! Are you reading her blog? If not, YOU SHOULD BE! I am so glad she brought back her Link Up "Passing Notes", after a month long hiatus! Head over to her blog and show her some love so that she'll keep this link up going!

                                                            

And even though I'm linking up today, I feel awful that I'm not making a fancy-ish, long note but it's kinda bad timing as you'll read below...It's been difficult lately to blog/have any kind of fun while at work. Imagine that.

 

                                             

Not my best effort. Sorry :/ But my nosy co-worker is a 50-something tattle tale who watched me write the above note so I had to write fast...At least she can't see my computer screen. Sucker!

  

Have a fabulous rest of your Friday and live it up this weekend!! :D

A Quick Quickie

Hiiiiii! I'm rushing around today but I LOVE Meg O.'s Passing Notes Link up so much that I couldn't pass up joining in. You can link up below!



I did this really quick so, sorry it's so short! {haha Do you remember writing that on the bottom of your notes? "Sorry So Short"? Love it!}

I'll be gone all day today and tomorrow but will catch up on all your blogs this Sunday. I hate getting so behind!! Oh and I'll also be choosing my giveaway winner on Sunday night. I can't wait!! Don't forget to enter here!

And shout out to my new followers! Thanks SO much! I hope y'all have fun hanging around here! :)

Have a great weekend, lovelies!!

Passing Notes on Friday

Hellooo, ladies! I've been working hard for the weekend over here {minus this blogging break. Shhh.} and sipping away on my Route 44 Diet Coke which I haven't been truly enjoying because I forgot to ask for my usual vanilla add in. {boo!} The day's been pretty uneventful but then I saw this post by the lovely Michelle and decided it sounded fun so I linked up at O. is me. I'm loving her blog!

  

This was so fun and reminded me of all my note passing back in the day!  I passed a lot of notes for sure but never once got caught - thank God too because I would've been mortified! To this day though, I'm still obsessed with Sharpies and colorful pens...

I wish I knew how to quit you, Sharpie.

{Sorry for the bad quality - I took the pic with my phone!}
