random tuesday fun.

Remember those fun fill out things from Myspace?!

the ones that you fill out & nobody really cares?!

yep, I did one & threw in some random pictures, that alone could not fill up a blog.

enjoy. 

______

Cooking: I've been using my cute little grill lately, makes me excited to eat semi-healthy.

Drinking: Water all the dang time.  

Reading: too many books at one time, I need to actually finish one. 

Wanting: my hair to grow. a day by the pool. a week at the beach.

Looking: real rough today. this rain though.

Playing: I'm stuck on this one. I'm not playing... lol 

Wasting: Time doing this, duh! and wasting money at Target... but it isn't really wasting if you LOVE it.  

Wishing: I was naturally tan & that tanning beds did not cause skin cancer.  

(but I do enjoy wine/spray tans) 

Enjoying: work being so lovely.I am really liking my new hires, spring clothes, & being busy.

Waiting: always, and half the time I really don't even know what for exactly. 

Liking: those plastic tumblers with plastic straws for my ice water.  

Wondering: if anyone else finds these dumb quizzes half as interesting as I do!

Loving: summer time. laying on the couch. church. laughing really hard. sleep. 

Hoping: Even though I have made horrible eating choices, that my body decides to just ignore those 8345894398043 calories and not turn them into jiggle fat. 

Marveling: At life. and the strange beauty of imperfection. 

Needing: a week long vacation away from everything, where I have to sit still and not know what time it is. 

Smelling: my scentsy! 

Wearing: a black shirt with dark skinnies. I mean, do I even wear anything else?! 

Following: strangers on instagram, but not letting strangers follow me... makes sense.  

Noticing: girls are crazy. we make up most of the things that make us crazy also. 

Knowing: I feel like I've lived so much, and I am not even a third of the way done. (hopefully!)

Thinking: more like over thinking, anything & everything. 

Feeling: good today.

Bookmarking: my daily journal has a bookmark. thank goodness, I would never find the days without it. 

Opening: books? doors? what do you mean. 

Giggling: all the time. especially when it is uncomfortable. 

Feeling: lazy. I need to start making the most of my mornings before work!

jessica graduates law school.

I have an abnormally smart group of friends.

overachievers to say the least

 I LOVE it.

without knowing it, I think we push each other to do our best.

it has never been a competition, bc we have all chosen very different educational/career/relationship paths,

but what we do is set a standard of our best, not perfection,

and it has been so awesome to see how brilliant my friends are.

(I have other brilliant friends not pictured above lol) 

____

this week I will brag on Jessica, who just graduated law school from St. Mary's. 

she alllllllways had this goal.

we are SO proud of her!

Congrats JESS,

can't wait to have you back home!

fun week.

I promise I worked all these days,
I just sure did find time to have some fun too.

___

Wednesday:

what a beautiful WIN by our Rockets.

sad that whole playoff thing is over.

0.9.

i will never underestimate the power of a second.

___

Thursday:

finally got some crawfish

and got to see my best friend.

life has gotten in the way of my eating crawfish & seeing holly.

glad that changed this week. lol 

___

Friday:

worked with these pretty ladies.

and had a little birthday dinner for my mom

when I tell you the weather was perfect, 

I am not exaggerating.
perfection.

I could have sat there all night.

it was lovely.

(and there were chips and salsa lol)

I had my first

Bahama Buck's snocone that night too.

toasted coconut with cream.

your'e welcome.

___

Saturday & Sunday:

a mix of work, being lazy, and pool time.

 

___

Monday:

my mom & little sister's  Birthdays

I took Bre for a snocone after school

and my mom, my dad, & I had 

wonderful pappasitos last night :)

___

It has been a fun week of summerish things & I love it!

cage the elephant.

this past weekend was fairly lovely.

I went to see

Cage the Elephant 

@ House of Blues.

love that venue a lot.

we caught happy hour @ guadalajara before the show.

another one of my favorite things lol 

the show was so great, but I will say

1. I am either getting old.

or

2. they were a rowdy bunch of concert goers.

they were moshing like crazy... which I do not understand.

If I am going to push you around, it is bc I am not happy.

anyway, I lost an earring & have a fun bruise on my foot, but I will say we hung in there with the best of them! 

_____

I watched Ginger all weekend.

I love her so very much,

she cracks me up.

she judged me hardcore for watching RHOA reunion.

ha!

____

and this pretty lady got married this weekend!

sad I had to miss it, but she looked beautiful & looks like it was a ton of fun! 

____

have a good one...

I wish I could just lay in the sun ALL day.

it is perfect!

that friday.

It is Friday!

which means I should have a post on a super fun friend, but

I will be honest for a min and tell you... this week flew by!

I feel like yesterday was Easter.

so next week,

you can meet a new pal.

this week you get my randomness.

_____

"put your records on" just came on Pandora.

today has the potential of being really great!

_____

I have been eating like a pig lately.

it is ridiculous.

first it was the holidays and all that great food, then my girls at work bringing me cupcakes, then valentines candy, then easter candy, & going to eat with friends...

I would blame it on hormones & just being busy... but it is most def willpower that is against me,

which makes it worse.

there is always another Monday... lol

____

we are getting ready for summer at work and I couldn't be more excited!!

I def kept one of those beach bags... as a recovering perfectionist, that is a great reminder.

I call the girls that work for me- "my girls"

I should stop doing that bc I've had a few people ask me if I have kids lol

but these girls are too cute & we are having a great time at work, but I hope more than anything they are learning things.

sometimes I try and teach them just little life lessons, nothing to do with work.

like static guard... spray it in your hair like hairspray so your hair doesn't stick to you.

_____

I have had a major obsession with over sized sweaters lately.

or those chiffon cover ups.

comfortable & cute. 

_____

what is up with our Rockets?!

we HAVE to win.

_____

I have had my customers open up to me so much lately...

I hear about heartache, breakups, celebrations, graduations, first dates,
trouble with kids, getting pregnant, friendships, etc.

"Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them" -Marc Jacobs.

I so love living life with people.
