Reunion with Joanne!

by 5 Comments

Two days ago, I spent more unnecessary money. How you ask?

It all began with me cleaning my room and finding a coupon to Sephora. Went to that site and browsed for the longest time. Picked my items. And when I went to check out I typed in the promotional code to realize it didn’t work. Why?

Because it has already expired. I am one smart cookie. Let me tell you. So I still went ahead and bought the items because I just really REALLY really wanted them. And now I am wanting to buy even more.

Today I finally got to see one of my best friends from high school, Joanne. The last time I saw her was 2 years ago which was before this blog … yep time sure flies. She’s two years younger than me so she’s still in college but oh boy. Our conversations just went.

As I was driving to meet up at Starbucks, I realized she was in the car next to me. That’s how crazy it is.

I seem to have some pretty good friends I can just talk to like nothing’s ever changed and those are the most prized friendships. We talked about school and work – fine I won’t lie … it was mostly about boys.

We’ve both grown so much. She’s much more outgoing and I’m more shy. Funny how that worked out. We flipped flopped. I am so excited that we got to spend THREE hours just talking. If she was a man, I would say our date went really well and there will be another one. Who am I kidding she’s a girl and it still went well and there will be more. We talked till we were hungry and ended up at Panera Bread. We are crazy ducks and oh boy so many memories.

Now it’s time to get ready for bed!

Work in the A.M. and New Orleans in the weekend! Can hardly wait. Fly fly away!

Turkey Burger Basket [on an egg bun with grilled onions and mushrooms, fries & and drink] | around $11

You get to snazz up your burger however you like with a few bucks.

My fries are humongous because they actually forgot to put it on my plate. Else, it would be right next to my burger and rest assured, way less. To die for. I’ve never tried thin fries that I adore, and these were just perfect. Just the right amount of crispy on the outside and seasoned to perfection.

As for the burger … juicy. Yum. The onions and mushrooms I got added in there definitely made it that much better. I can’t say much for the lettuce. It tasted old and … disgusting so I kind of left it where it laid.

I got my drink of sweet tea [not pictured]. It didn’t taste good at all. Maybe I went on a bad day but the tea was no where near … sweet. It felt very watered down.

Homemade Chili [cup] | $3.59

I don’t know why I always feel the need to order chili if I can but I did!

I should of said no to the cheese and not to be greedy with the onions. They sure aren’t greedy with the meat though. You will find chunks of ground meat in there. It was really good and I just loved dunking my fries in there.

I really did love this place and I would definitely come back. I’m thinking of bringing the family here one day.

Hey sissy, if you read this … you can come here! They have veggie burgers!

Has anyone checked out PV.Body 30 Day Challenge for today?

Day 3 and it’s a recipe for Protein Pancakes. I didn’t make them but if you did, let me know how they turned out!

It’s finally the weekend! Hope you all have a great one!

Realizations

by 5 Comments

Oh fudge.

Bad Realizations:

  • No dress for wedding that’s at the end of THIS month! Where do people buy nice dresses?! Bleugh!
  • Business trip to New Orleans is NEXT weekend! And I found out we all have to present something. Crud.
  • I touch my face and hair TOO much. That means bad skin and oily hair! Eek! Already not doing well for that resolution.
  • My wisdom teeth has got to GO. It’s pushing on the side of my other teeth since it’s growing incorrectly. Boo.

On the upside:

  • I LOVE bows and have been searching for a pretty bow ring but haven’t found one that I like.
  • I want to FOCUS more on my art and my music … my hobbies.
  • I want to start VLOGGING but I have nothing to talk about but it seems cool to do.

Who’s done Day 2 of the PV.Body 30 Day Challenge?!

I about died. That’s what happens when you’ve been out too long. Whoopsies.

pva

It’s a 30 Minute Full Body Workout. I only did 1x each circuit. Hopefully that still counts. And hey, at least I got off my butt and did something right?

It’s a plus that she’s wearing the same exact clothes I got from PV.Body. Yay!

Tomorrow’s my day off … but I just might go in for a few hours so I can you know … slack off another day. 😉

New Year, 2nd Blogoversary

by 2 Comments

It’s been a whirlwind of a year. Reason I started this blog on New Year’s Day is because I wanted a new start. And because I knew people did recaps every Blogoversary and New Year … and I’m too lazy to do it twice in one year sooooo yep. Here goes!

  • First time in a recording studio: back of a house type deal but it was cool to see how everything gets put together. Helped throw some ideas in. I loved it. I wish I was good enough for this line of work.

There has been so much going on this past year and there would be more if I was more consistent with my blogging. It’s been a year of ups and downs but the ups shine through more. I hope you all had a great 2012 because 2013 just begun and it’s going to be a great one!

Stay Positive! Think Good Thoughts!
