Memorial Weekend

Yea, so it's Wednesday and I'm just now getting to typing about my weekend.  Sue me.

I had a pretty fantastical weekend.  Thursday and Friday I got out of school at 1:30.  That was nice.

Friday night I saw the Hangover III.  I laughed, a lot.  And may have had a small popcorn, with a little bit of butter,  for dinner.  The movie was not as good as the first one, or even the second one, but it was still funny.

Saturday morning I was up early for a road trip with the bestie! 
Best Friend Road Trip
We started our day in Hardy.
In downtown Hardy

Where we stopped at my favorite place, the Candy Store.  When I was little my mom's family would rent a cabin in Hardy for a nice little family vacation.  My favorite part of said vacation was going to this candy store, what can I say, I've always been a fat kid with a sweet tooth.  However, as I've grown older this Candy Store is not as immaculate as it was in my memory.  However I did get some Jelly Bellies, wax bottles, and lemon drops (and maybe some fudge).  After our venture to the candy store, we went into several flea markets.  Katie was looking for a door stop and I was looking for records.  Well, after much searching we both hit the jackpot.  After we looked through countless records, we finally found the motherload.

I found this gem, with Harper Valley PTA on it  You can see what I do with it later.
After our venture in Hardy, we went to eat lunch.  I successfully order the salad bar and a turkey burger (and fries).  Then we continued our adventure and put our feet in the river.  Then drove to some place in MO that I can't even start to spell and stocked up on some cute things.  Then we went to West Plains were I bought some colored jeans for $9.90 at Maurice's.  Then we started on our way home.  It was a fantastic day with fantastic company.  It is so good to go and laugh all day.  Literally we laughed all day.

When we got back to Katie's I got to crafted with my prized possessions I had found.

I had a Sunday Funday with my mom and brother.  We went to town and shopped around.  Then we (read they) cooked out.  We had a shrimp boil and it was a-maz-ing!

Monday I had a wild hair.  Luckily my partner in crime has wild hairs too.  We ventured to the river.  Where we sat and relaxed and may have jumped off a rope swing.  It was another great day.  I am already making plans to go back.

Also, I have now declared Monday Motivation Monday (instead of Man Crush Monday) on my instagram.  This is the picture I posted on MM.

Monday and June 2012.
And for some Motivation on Wednesday I LOST 3 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!!!  The scale had been stuck at a standstill for almost two months!  TWO MONTHS with not loss but no gain either.  It was depressing, especially since I was working my butt off at the gym.  I also got sooooo tired of hearing "muscle weighs more than fat, you're gaining muscle".  I didn't give a rat's butt if I was gaining muscle, I wanted to lose weight.  I'm glad to finally see the scale move in the right direction.

Have a great rest of the week!

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 unha...

Better

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon.  One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year.  You pick a word.  If you go here  you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One:  Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two:  Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three:  Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019.  I have been thinking for a few weeks.  I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter.  I have thought about those characteristics of that person.  And today, on th...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...
