Mid-February Round Up

Before going to see Mary Poppins. I was down 16.5 pounds here and feeling pretty awesome about myself.

I don't have a clever title, it happens. So, this is just a "round-up" of everything I want to say. All jumbled together....annnnnnd go......

Diet/Exercise Life

Even though I didn't want to, I got on the scale at the gym yesterday (I like the gym scale, it weighs me 3 pounds less than my home scale :) ). After my ~~fat girl weekend~~ fast food dining this weekend I was scared to get on the scale. I closed my eyes, held my breath, and stood REEEEAAALLLLLYYY still..... and..... I LOST A POUND!!

I know a pound doesn't sound like much, but I will celebrate EVERY pound and not be ashamed of it. And this one pound, just shows how far I am going. I ate a lot and still managed to shed a pound. For a total of 17.4 pounds. HOLY MOLY! That's almost 20. So that means I'm almost halfway to my first goal.

Annnnd....I'm about to sign up for my first walk/run. It's only a two miler but still, it will be something to check off my list.


Forgive the "cuss" word, but this gets me through my workouts.

Life

I found out today the Lady Gaga concert I have been looking forward to since October has been cancelled. I am one sad, sad, sad girl. I mean, I know stuff happens, but it still makes me sad. Maybe when I get the refund for what I paid for those tickets I will be in a better mood about. Laken and I are still going to Nashville since we already booked the hotel. I guess now I'll just look forward to Gary Allan.

I had mentioned that my awesome best friend, Katie, was going with me to see Gary Allan, right? Well this crazy girl is treating me to the concert for my birthday. She also sent me these flowers today.

Isn't that sweet? It says "Thanks for being a wonderful best friend and partner in crime". That sure brightened my crappy day. I debated for a good ten minutes on taking them home or leaving them at school. Leaving them at school ultimately won. I thought this would make me feel better when I don't get any flowers tomorrow :). Which brings me to my next point.....

Love Life

There may be something brewing here. There may not be something brewing here. Time shall tell.
Don't ask. I don't kiss and tell, unless you're in my book club :). But, I still don't think I will be getting any flowers tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day People!

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy. That is totally not the case. I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness". I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man). This year has sucked. And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am. It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again. Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man. It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with. However, I know what I want. I know what I don't. And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve. I would rather be alone and unhappy than in a relationship and mi

Motivation Monday

This a story of two very different girls. This is the first girl... Hot Springs 2012 Nashville July 2012 CMA Fest June 2012 Nashville 2012 July 2012 Christmas 2012 She is 26 years old and is a third grade teacher. She enjoys buying shoes, going out to eat, going to musicals and going to Nashville (a lot). She has a pretty good life. She drives a sweet red Mustang (with pink interior lights) and has the best friends a girl could want. She is a funny girl and has big dreams. She believes your only as old as you feel and she still feels like a kid. She loves pink and sparkly things. She never meets a stranger and could talk to anybody. But that is what she wants you to see. She wants you to see her with a smile on her face and she wants to see all the fun she has. She doesn't want you to know that inside, she isn't happy. She isn't satisfied and she is disgusted with herself. She knows something has got to give. She is tired of feel

So Are You A Fly Strip For Dysfunctional Men?

I think back to the Fourth of July weekend of this year. Allison and I went to the lake with Britni and her family. As we were living Greers Ferry we stopped at Large Mouth Pizza. Almost right about the table we were sitting at was fly paper. You know the sticky strip of paper flies get caught in? I now know more than I probably should about them fly paper. You pull this sticky paper out of a little canister and it hangs from the ceiling. There this sticky stuff that will stay sticky despite exposure to the air and whatnot. There's this stuff on there that attracts the flies and once they touch they paper, they're stuck. There's also poison on the strip that kills the fly, but that doesn't really work for the analogy I'm about to use. I'm not really sure how I find the guys I do. But if they have a tick, bad habit, disorder, something like that I will find them, or well they will find me. Apparently I'm like fly paper. I apparently attract t
