Busy Bee!

Guess who is back!


That is right, folks! BB is back! He is back for GOOD. We have been pretty busy since he has returned home. Just had his Welcome Home party on Saturday. I will update with pics as soon as I can. I am currently living in 2 different places. My house and his parents house. So half of my things are here at home, and the other half are at his parents place. Soon I will have a new schedule down and will be able to update more regularly.

We went to New Mexico! It was a blast, I will update with pics from that soon as well.

Having some school troubles right now. Tomorrow I go in to talk to my school. Wish me luck, please.

Now watching The Bachelorette and enjoying a glass of wine!

Happy Hump Day

Monday and Tuesday are always draining days. Getting up at 4am really drains you once you get home. I had today off! I slept for 11 hours. And I am still tired. I went out with my grandparents today. We went and did a little shopping and went to lunch. I rented two movies...Valentine's Day and Dear John.

Yesterday after work I went to the gym with Dita. She is a dental assistant. I work with her every day. We went and took a kickboxing class. It was so fun! And it kicked my butt! We are going to try and go every Tuesday and/or Friday to the gym or just out for a run.

This weekend, starting tomorrow, is going to be fun! Tomorrow I am going with my SIL to see Easton Corbin at the Grizzly Rose. I am really into him right now. He sounds like George Straight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS1NfjLkdSM

Friday night I am going to the Rockies game! I don't usually get into baseball, I'm more of a football kind of gal, but I am still excited. I hope the weather holds up. It has been sooooo windy lately. I am looking forward to a $10 beer, lol. And Saturday night, after work, there is a UFC fight! I always have a good time going out to watch it. :)

What is every one doing for the long weekend?

GTKY

1. Do you have a fetish? I have a thing for really nice straight white teeth. And my own eyelashes.
2. Do you sing in the shower? If there is music playing while I shower, then yea.
3. Who was your first crush? I feel like I've answered this before. Oh, I have. :) I will just copy and paste. "Gosh, this takes me back. I would say my first crush was on a boy named Eric. I remember him from grade school. We were on and off boyfriend and girlfriend from grade school, right until high school started. He moved away. He said he would be back so we could be each others high school sweethearts and later get married and have kids. He never came back!"
4. What do you think is the best manly trait a guy could have? I love pretty man hands and confident guys -- almost cocky but not rude about it.
5. Do you sleep naked? Nope. I can't. It is super uncomfortable to me.
6. What do you do when (you think) no one is looking? Same thing everyone else does!
7. What's the first thing you do when you go online? Check facebook. I'm an addict!
8. Summer is.....? Too hot and too long.

I meant to update on Wednesday after my run.

I want to start participating in "Weigh-In Wednesday." Guess I will start that this coming Wednesday. Wednesday was pretty fun. I went on my run. I ran outside. So far, not a fan. LOL. I only went a mile. I started out way too fast and only ran the whole time for half a mile. Boo. I am pretty disappointed in myself. And discouraged. So much that I am not running today. I am so very excited for this relay run in August. But how am I to run 6.55 miles outside, when I could only run for half a mile on Wednesday? Are there any runners that read my blog? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Back to "Weigh-In Wednesday" -- I have a goal of where I'd like to be. And a couple mini goals along the way. I think I will just post how many pounds I lost/gained each week. Not tell my exact weight. ;)

Wednesday I went downtown with my family to eat pizza and have a beer. I love downtown! The pizza was delicious. Every time I am down there I miss it. A lot. I love the country more than anything, don't get me wrong. But the city will always hold a special place in my heart. There is always so much going on. Tons of people.

Today I went to my best friends brothers high school graduation. At the same high school I graduated from 7 years ago. I am so old. :( How long ago did you graduate? Do you feel accomplished in life? I sure don't, lol!! After, I went and had lunch with my Gram at Guadalajara. They opened in our little town. It is my favorite restaurant! We now have 3 mexican restaurants in our town and our town is SMALL!

1. One fashion trend I really regret is None! I loved going through phases.
2. The one thing that always completes any outfit is A pair of earrings. They always make me feel prettier, no matter what it is I am wearing.
3. I would describe my personal style as Preppy casual mixed with some country?
4. My fashion muse is Sarah Michelle Gellar. She dresses perfectly. She always looks so put together.
5. If I could own one designer piece of clothing it would be Christian Louboutin pumps.
6. I would love to raid the wardrobe of Sarah Michelle Gellar or Ali Larter or Carrie Underwood.
7. Today I am wearing Well now, my workout clothes but I don't think they will be put to good use.

Project 10 Pan

More like Project 554678937499 Pan. Hehe. Look at all of this...



I decided to do it in categories. Because, there is no way I will be able to wait until all of this is gone before I can buy more foundation, etc. So, this is how I am doing it.. Lotions, hair products, facial products, foundating/powder, lipstick/lipgloss. Basically, once all of my lotion is gone, I will be able to buy a new bottle. Once all of my lipstick/lipglosses are gone, I can buy a new stick/gloss. You get the drill. So which will be the hardest to get rid of? Lotion and hair products. I dislike both of them. So why do I have so many? Good question! I can't answer lol. I am looking forward to this. I might even find something that I really love. Or that I really dislike. This will cut down on clutter and save me some money. :) Who is with me?

Today was the official start of my externship! It was a short day. But I enjoyed it. I took lots of notes. I am SO glad the original assistant is back. I was filling in for her while she went away on a mission. She is back and the office is running smoothly. :) I am so thankful I get to stay at this office during my externship. They have been so welcoming. I feel lucky. :)

I called my tanning salon and found out I still have 5 months left to tan. Geez. So what did I do after work today? Hit the tanning bed! I might as well use it up while I still have it. I went to the gym afterwards. I did 2 miles on the Elliptical. That thing kicked my booty! I am now delightfully exhausted.

Today was a great day!

The morning started out well. I woke up around 6:30am and sat in bed, on my laptop, for an hour. Oops! B called me and we talked for an hour, again! I love the long phone calls. He has plans for when he gets back. Building plans, school plans. After we talked, I got ready and headed over to M's to grab my Pampered Chef order! My Gram ordered a set of 'Meat Lifters' and 4 wine glasses that I get to add to my collection. I ordered the cutest coffee mugs EVER! I want to get a few more. Look!

Precious right!? My wine glasses look similar -- has the dots. I think I have a thing for polka dots. Hmm. :)

I am also starting a new project. You may have heard of it, if you follow the beauty bloggers, Project 10 Pan. Basically I can't buy any new cosmetics, skin care products, anything - until I use up what I've got. And I've got a lot. This will work for me in a couple of ways. 1) Get rid of beauty product clutter. & 2) Save money! I have an endless amount of hair products, self tanners, a few foundations, etc to use up. I am going to use them up, not until I hit pan, but until they are GONE. This is one way I am going to try and save extra money. Eee! Thankfully I started this today and not yesterday when I bought my Redken conditioner hehehe.

I love that there is a Meme for just about every day!

1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....? A pair of Seven jeans. Call me cheap! They are one of my favorite jeans. They are only about $40 lol

2. Have you ever played a team sport? Yep. I used to play basketball in middle school. And that is the only team sport I've played lately! --not even lately haha.

3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be? Ewwie. A ladybug (dots, hehe), I guess!

4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? Everywhere. I don't think I like being burnt more in one place than the other!

5. Are you happy? I am :) All around I am pretty happy. I am working towards my career(s), staying healthy and active, and I get my boyfriend back real soon! The future is so exciting.

6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them? Can't say that there are. I don't get annoyed much with abbreviations. I get more annoyed with how people are spelling things or saying things. I can't stand things like "I haven't seen you in a minute" or "drop by my crib" or "I'm kickin it" or "What's up cat?". I can't stand when people type like "I luv dat". Ugh!!!

7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere? I LOVE where I live. I love Colorado. I love the crazy weather we have. I live out in the country and I LOVE that too. I love having space between neighbors. I love having land.
I can live anywhere that is cold. I would love to live in Alaska, just for a year or so.
I would also live in Florida but I would have to have a realllllllllly nice AC system lol.

8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full?
I don't usually overeat. I mean, sometimes, I will eat a little extra here and there. But it is rare.

I didn't have to work today!

I was thankful. I got an extra day of rest. I did go drop off Nivelles (my niece) shoes and picked up my paycheck. I am thankful for my weekend job, it brings in a little bit of money. The whold ride to work and back home, I spent the time talking to B. He called as I was on my way to work. We talked for about an hour! I can't wait till he is back home. :) I miss him so.friggin.much.

I got back home around 9am and patiently waited for my pops to get home so he, my gram, and myself could go out and about. We headed out around 12:30pm. Went to my bank and stopped so I could pick up some hair conditioner. I decided to try out a new kind. Here is what I got:

I really hope it was worth the $15. I am usually a Biolage girl. I remember my hair being, well, fantastic, when I used Biolage. I really do love all of their products but wanted something new. Fresh. *crosses fingers*
What do you find works best for your hair? What kind of hair do you have? I have the worst kind of hair. Frizzy, dry, wavy. I am definitely not a "wash and go" kind of girl. I am more of a "wash, blowdry, straighten or curl" then go kind of girl.
If you have FaceBook, please join mine and Sinnys group "Make Me Up" It is all beauty talk.

I also started saving today. Back in April I had a little mishap with Amazon.com. I ordered a very nice digital camera and it never came. I ended up getting a refund etc. Put some of my refunded money into other things. I decided I should save and buy the said digital camera in the store, instead of online. I'm afraid of shopping online now! Have you had a bad experience shopping online?

I am watching "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" again. I watched it twice last night. I can't get enough! I am a huge Kevin James fan. I have work tomorrow but not until 10am. Before I go into work I am stopping at M's to pick up my Pampered Chef order!!! I can't wait to get my goodies!
