Blah... Just Blah...

Does anyone even still read my blog? Of course you don't- I haven't been writing anything!! I am so sorry! I really want to, but computer issues have been preventing me!! I can't upload pictures and have to type in the "html" box in blogger and it's just a pain! But I miss it, and today I need it! I am just feeling so BLAH! ~I am sooooo tired! Like cannot catch up on sleep tired. I started back with my vitamins, but that's not helping. IDK if I need to drink more caffeine or less caffeine- but somethings got to give!! ~I hate my job! OK- that's not worded correctly! I am thankful for my job and do love the work I do and people I work with- but it the end of the year for us and I'm just spent with it all! I'm working to feng shui my cube in hopes that will help- we shall see! I think the problem stems from me losing my second job. My last post I mentioned that I had an opportunity to do something. Well I was a lead for a company booking girls for alcohol promotions. I LOVED IT!! Well, budget cuts and new girl came in and screwed me out of my job. I've gone back to doing the promotions themselves, but I want a more active role in it. I would love to start my own company! I LOVE sales- I could sell ice to an eskimo!! IDK how to get into it more. I check for openings EVERY DAY!! ~I miss working out! I see these blogs of SAHM that have to court their children all over the world, but are still able to get in that time for themselves and work out... HOW??? Not to mention, how am I suppose to get to the gym when I'm so exhausted?? IDK what to do!! This post isn't all debby downer tho! I am incredibly lucky and life is going great! ~My guy! I can't even begin to describe how great he make me feel. Seriously, I stop sometimes and think "how did I get so lucky" ~I have so pretty precious pups! That's not new! ~We (me and my guy) are season ticket holders now for the GAMECOCKS!! Oh it's a great feeling! ~I'm knocking stuff off my 30 before 30 list! ~Mom and Dad are still rocking and doing great! This post has no real point... but to vent, say hi and let you know I'm alive! I wish I could add pictures!! *The End*

I can't wait for next season!!   three Easter was so great! Alex and I went to Cola to see his fam! It was the best time with some DELISH food!! His sis snapped a few pics!

OK, in all fairness, I wanted to do a 10 on Tuesday and a Weekend Recap (late I know) but y'all! I'm am feeling like I was hit by a bus. They say the norovirus is going around... maybe that's what I got! I know I've been reading about some of you and your babies esp suffering with it... did you send it via blog??

I did decide to start a bloglovin' account and commit to blog more b/c I miss it.

But lets face it- it's hard to blog when it's so cold out and you just stay in.

If Spring ever starts- that will change- I promise you and me!!

But b/c I love my pics-

A sneak of my weekend and who's on my hit list!!

 

My beautiful cousin got married!! It was a great weekend!!

This bastard lied!!

10 on Tuesday

  Ahhh, first day of the week! Yeah- I took off yesterday to enjoy a mini vaca with my sweet guy!! So, what better way to "recap" a lil and kill some time than with a 10 on Tuesday blog! *Thanks Lin for adding to my procrastination*   {one} We went to the circus!! It was BEYOND fun! I want an elephant, so if someone can work on that- k thanks!! I was literally staring mouth open in awe at times! LOL   {two} Holy DVR am I behind! I am about 10 episodes behind on Dallas and Revenge. I need to see Sunday's Walking Dead and Army Wives! Not to mention Girls and I'm working on getting caught up on Game of Thrones before Season 3!!   {three} I'm pretty proud of myself on the DVR/TV Show front... (simple goals people) I finished Big Love FINALLY! WTH was that finally?!?! I was PISSED!! Ugh- did you watch that show??   {four} It humors me I think I got a "teaching" degree. I get frustrated when people ask for my help at work and I'm just like...

Funky Cold Medina

*you're welcome for having that song stuck in your head now too*

I am in a FUNK!

I miss blogging!



I know the easy answer would be to just get my butt back to the computer and write...

but I have nothing to write about!

I hate the cold!

I don't like scarves!

Sick of my boots! (Give me flip flops any day)

And really, what can you blog about when you don't do anything.

I always feel like I need to add some pictures to my blog, but I've got none to add!

Don't get me wrong- I am loving life!

I have a great job! Wonderful boy! Sweet pups! Amazing family and friends!

But I'm in a funk.

I just want to come home from work, throw on the warmest clothes I have and watch tv or play a video game! Not that I'm antisocial- but who wants to go out when it's so dang cold!

I can't handle it! I think my circulation may be bad! LOL

But to not leave you with all complaints- I will update the remaining readers I have with some info in my life lately!!

~ Work is going good! I work for the govt, so there is some fear going around- but changes are also coming down the line... and they make me smile!

~ My baby cousin gets married in a little over two weeks! I can't wait!

~ In prepping for Amy's wedding, I started back at the tanning bed yesterday! (12 minutes was too long!!)

~ My pups are the sweetest! No matter how much they can bug me! LOL

~ I'm getting a haircut today and I'm excited about it!

~ I have a great boyfriend! He makes me so happy!!

~ I have had a definite change in my eating habits! I have started to LOVE yogurt and can eat it all day!

I'm also doing lots more stews and veggies and soups (thanks cold weather)

It's a major plus for a girl with such limited food choices!

~ Things are really turning around for my dad! It's such a blessing!!

~ Have you seen this video??? OMG!!

And because I can't leave a post with no pics...

Here's a few (some stolen from FB) for your viewing pleasure!!
