Early morning ahead

Happy Friday, everyone!! This weekend is already jam-packed and I am already tired.

A couple of thoughts for the weekend:

• Did you see Grey's last night?? OMG!!! I'm still crying! If you're interested, check this out.
• Feast your eyes on the new Captain Kirk..........I'm no Star Trek fan, but I might be watching to see this hottie!

Wish me luck in the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure tomorrow! 5K here I come!

BTW, this is sooooo me tomorrow afternoon:


Haha! Hilarious.

Have a great Mother's Day weekend, friends!!

Much better........

Today was a better day. Thank God. I really don't think I could have handled another bad day like yesterday. What is the saying? "When one door closes, a window opens", or something to that effect. I dunno, but I'm feeling better. Much, much better.....

Did ya'll watch AI last night? OMG- Adam rocked the house with "Whole Lotta Love" didn't he?? Wow. You know, I have been on the fence with him ever since the show started, but I have to say he won me over last night. I mean, anyone who's gonna sing "Zep" (as my oh so cool dad refers to Led Zeppelin- he pretty much ingrained the love of "Zep" into me at the age of seven) like Robert Plant deserves the AI crown. Dontcha' think? Lerve. I'm disappointed Matt Giraud and his hunky piano moves aren't there anymore, but oh well. I can always relive "Human Nature" through youtube.

Mother's Day is this weekend, friends. Surprisingly, I have already bought Mother's Day presents for the mom and the mom-in-law. I got their gifts at Ulta after work today, while a tornado was just a brewing outside. Of course this would be the day that I chose to wear my nice, khaki pants and brown flats to work. I was soaked when I left and not happy about it. But, I do have Mother's Day gifts and that is one less thing I have to worry about when I wake up Sunday morning. Yay. In honor of mom's day I am posting a picture of my mama, my sister, and myself on Easter:

This is like our favorite picture right now, because every one has their eyes open. Hehe!

BTW, I'm doing the Susan G Komen race in Atlanta this weekend. The following are the reasons why I am most excited about participating in this race:

• I am walking for my grandmother, and all of my other friends and loved ones that are dealing/or have fought this horrible disease.
  
• I get a super-cute pink t-shirt to wear (and ya'll know how much I love pink)!
• I am eating nothing but bad shit all week. I'm talking Chick-fil-a, Burger King, Panera Bread, you name it because I will be walking it off (or planning to anyway) during the race- woohoo!!

I've got to go cook dinner for the hub, friends. Talk to you soon!

Don't call it a comeback!

Ummmm........no thank you.

Just had to comment, ya'll. I mean, if you're gonna go to the Costume Institute Gala at the Met wouldn't you bring it like Miz Biel:

JT looking a bit nerdy, but that's okay.......

I'm done.

So, I had a bad day.

Today has been a bad day. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, because it's just been an all around bad day. I have never really talked about my blog disappearance almost two months ago. The hiatus only lasted a month, but to people that know me it felt like a year. I love my blog and I love blogging. I'm not going to go into all the details of why I stopped blogging during that time. Honestly, I have not had this bad a day since the day I had to delete the blog. Let's just say that today I realized that hard work does go unnoticed, and expectations fall short. I am disappointed.

Cinco de Mayo has not been so festive for me today, that is for sure. I still plan on having a margarita tonight, though. Hmmm.....maybe two. Hell, I think maybe the hubster and I need to go out for Cinco de Mayo. This day obviously isn't gonna get any better. I hope everyone else has enjoyed their Mexican holiday!! Here's to happier days tomorrow. Cheers!

Vacay is in 3 weeks. Lord, please let me make it.........

"What you gon do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?"

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do with all this "junk." Never take a spinning class again. Yep. Over it. In the words of my impossibly tiny co-worker, Diana, you feel a little violated after cycling. My derriere is aching in words that I cannot describe. Our teacher told us to go home and eat some "good" carbs to replenish all the blah, blah, blah....blah, blah, blah. I am now home eating a chocolate chip cookie from the Publix Deli and drinking a Coke Zero. Yep, so over it. I didn't realize how great my relationship was with the treadmill until today. Think I'll stick with what I know, peeps.

Time for a bubble bath. Catch you tomorrow!

easy like Sunday morning..........

I am still in my pajamas and it's 2:11 on Sunday afternoon. Rut-roh. I'm not gonna lie- I love it. No worries, though. I'm about to hop in the shower and take a trip to Barnes and Noble. I need a good read. I cannot blame the laziness on a hangover, I don't have one. Thank God. I'm actually really surprised considering the fact that I drank a cheap bottle of White Zinfadel last night. Folks, I am not a White Zinfadel drinker, but I had a bottle in the fridge left over from the Purse Party, and I thought, why not? Fast-forward to Sunday afternoon, and I still have my Victoria Secret stretchy pants on. Time to get this booty in check.

Thanks everyone who commented on the bathing suit options! I began my swimsuit search at Kohl's yesterday. The "cute" pink one I posted Friday- not so much. More like trashtastic cuteness, if you get my drift. In my opinion, there wasn't much of a one-piece selection at Kohl's, which I'm surprised about considering all of the cute, fun, and stylish apparel that they carry. Hmmmmmm.......might check back with them later. I then made a trip to Dillard's (so should not have gone there). Yes, they had adorable bathing suits, and yes, their bathing suits were $65 and up. No thank you. I'm pretty positive I could get something just as cute at Marshall's for 20 bucks. I will probably be making a trip to Target this week, too. You can always count on some fantastic finds there. We'll see........

Tomorrow the new exercise regimen starts up! I have a spinning class tomorrow and Wednesday night after work which I'm super pumped about. Tuesday, Thursday's, and Friday's it's me and the treadmill at it again. I will drop 8 LB's by the end of May dammit. Wish me luck!

To do the one-piece, or not do the one-piece, that is the question.........

Friends, bathing suit season is here. And as excited as I am about sunshine, beaches, pretty tans, and sipping Cherry Limeade (diet of course) by the pool, I am not so excited about putting on the bikini. You see, the "diet" that I've been supposedly abiding by......not so much. This month I have pretty much eaten like I have the metabolism of a 12 year old girl. Yes, I will say that I've been stressed due to lots of different things, and we all know stress can contribute to overeating at times.........but, I am not one to turn down a Dairy Queen Butterfinger Blizzard when it's mentioned. So, the new goal is to lose 8 LB's by the end of the month and before the family trip to Biloxi. My smart mama booked a condo with our own private pool- hell yeah. I plan to purchase this Victoria Secret bikini when I am rocking a better bod:
Love the yellow. I'll totally look like the model wearing this: boobs and all! Haha.......

So, before my transformation into Marisa Miller (ha!), I want to get a really, really cute one-piece just to hide the tummy a bit. What do you think?? I've been scouring the web, and these are just a few of my adorable one-piece finds:
This one (on the right) is from the Candies line at Kohl's. I think it's super-cute and fun. Plus, it's pink. And ya'll know how much I love pink!



This one is a monokini from Dillard's. I dunno. Kinda cute? Kinda trashy? You be the judge. Probably would need to try it on to see.......

I LOVE this one. I actually think this one of my favorite. Loving the "zebra" look.

What do you think, blog friends?? I'm going shopping this weekend so I've gotta get some feedback!
