Finish Me *

I'm finishing some sentences today ...

• When I open the fridge, I always hope I find... a nice cold bottle of Aquafina. It never fails that someone else drinks the last bottle and doesn't restock the shelf back up.. Drives me crazy!!! [all I drink is water & yes I know bottles are bad for the environment but I just can't.stop.]
  
• My favorite article of clothing is currently my black & salmon maxi dress. From Kiki La'Rue. I feel pretty in it :) (& thin-score!)
  
• Last week I was really pissed when I found out my husband got moved back to 3rd shift. Ughhh.. He had been training on 1st for his promotion for 5 weeks and was told he would be on 1st until October, but that got changed and now he is back on 3rd. womp womp. Back to being what feels like a single mom.
  
  
• One thing nobody understands about me is I seriously prefer being a "homebody". I am content only going to work and then coming home to my kids. Don't get me wrong, I like to go shopping or family outings, but I do not go out with friends or have my kids spend the night with other people/family for a break. If I'm not at work, I have my children.
  I know I should give myself a break every now & then. Or hubby & I need to go on a date night.. but it's rare. We did go to Gatlinburg for 2 nights for our anniversary last October. It was nice. But no date night since. lol
  
  
  
• One thing I don't understand is how all these people recently are forgetting their kids in hot cars. It is seriously ridiculous and makes me angry. Livid. And that one jackass in GA that did it on purpose?! Ugh.... no words.
  
  **Speaking of which - have you seen this Vehicular Heatstroke Awareness video?? I cannot watch it without tearing up. So sad. (watch at your own risk)
  
  
  
  
  
  
• The world would be a better place if there were less stupid people in the world. Sorry but that's all I got.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• If I had a million dollars, I'd do whatever the hell I want. Seriously!! What wouldn't I do ?! I would buy a new house, buy my husband a boat, go on a tropical vacation & then to France, new car, and put whatever was left in stock to make some more $$$$
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• If I knew I'd die next week, this week I'd cry. I know I would obviously spend all the time with my kids but how would I stop crying?? I can't imagine knowing you only had a week left to live. I would be so sad. Ugh so awful.  I don't want to think about it.
  
  
• If I could change one thing about myself, it would be ... okay this is embarassing and I can't believe I will type this on the web for the world to see, but my ears . I know that sounds stupid but I have always been super self concious about them. They stick out. I never ever wear my hair up. I want to get ear pinning plastic surgery. I will probably delete this soon. lol
  
  
• Something that can always make me happy is chocolate. and wine. Oh, let me change that to wine! Yes. Wine. More specifically, Apple Raspberry wine from Apple Barn in TN.
  
  
  
  ^^^Yes that is actually the top of my fridge lol. Buy it by the case!!
  
  
  
• If I could go anywhere I would go to Paris. Because I have always always wanted to go. I took French in high school because I was obsessed with it. When I first moved into my own place I decorated with pictures of France and had a 2 foot Eiffel Tower statue thing in my dining room.
  Cliche though because I think everyone wants to go there :p
  
  
  
  
  
• If I were an animal I would be a kangaroo?!? I don't know effin about that. hahaha
  
  
• A job I've always wanted is the job I already have. I've known I wanted to be a sonographer since I was in the 7th grade. Very lucky that I've known for forever & actually was able to follow thru with it. And after working for a few years and getting experience at a hospital, I was able to get what I would consider my "dream job" as far as hours & location go :) woo hoo.

Funnies on Pinterest

Linking up again today for Funnies on Pinterest. 

I love Pinterest. I could waste hours browsing. Whoever invented that ish is a genius. But apparently I don't look at the categories enough because I didn't even know that "Humor" was one of the categories.  [also didn't know there were now Tattoo and Men's Fashion - how many men are on Pinterest? :p] Anyways, browsing through the Humor today and here are a couple of my faves :)

hahah I freakin' LOVE this one. I want to make it cuter and frame it so that my husband can refer to it multiple times a day :o)

Favorite Things To Do in The Summer

Today's linkup post is Favorite Things To Do in The Summer !!
I #bigpuffyheart love summer.

I love all the sunshine. The warm weather. The happiness it brings! I'm pretty sure everyone's seratonin level goes up during the summer months.

• Getting tan. I love how the summer sun gives my skin a beautiful brown glow. I know tanning is bad for you, but everything looks better tan :p 

• Hanging out with the kids at the pool. They love to spend hours splashing around, and I love laying in the chair working on my tan while reading my kindle. Obviously I don't get too much reading time in with the kids constantly yelling for my attention [& lately breaking up my 3 yr olds fights hahah]

• Taking vacation days to spend time with the family

• the BEACH!!! Who doesn't love the beach?! I don't know anyone. The ocean breeze, sunshine, palm trees, sand, pools, restaurants, shopping. Love it ALL.

• Go to an outdoor concert. Even though it feels like a million degrees outside with all those sweaty bodies crowded around, it's a fun time! I'm actually going to a Def Leppard/Kiss concert on the 20th! Hahah I know, I know - but I love the 80s :) or really Def Leppard. I've seen them 4 times already :p

• Sleep during a summer thunderstorm. I don't like a lot of rain. And I get cranky if rains multiple days in a row [or if it tries to ruin my beach trip!] But summer thunderstorms are the best :)

• Go to the drive-in. I read somewhere that there are only like 350 drive in theaters left in the US and my little ole town has one of them! I always fall asleep during the 2nd movie because I'm a loser and can't stay up that late, but it is fun packing the car up with the kids, snacks, pillows & blankets and watching a movie. We actually haven't been this year yet. Need to go!

Most Embarrassing Story

So today's linkup topic is Most Embarrassing Story.
Other than the fact that I had to spell check the word "embarrassing" because I kept leaving the 2nd "r" out... whoops :)

I'm sure that this is not my most embarrassing story. But truthfully, my memory is getting crappier and nothing else pops into my head but this.
This one time at band camp I got the bright idea to join a gym and go to a spin class. This was a few years ago, before ever getting pregnant with my youngest. I was not a working out kinda gal, but some of my coworkers & friends had been getting in shape so I thought I better to.

I walk into the small spin class and grab a bike towards the back. I look around a see people larger than me and a couple elderly people so I think "Oh yeah, if they can do it.. I got this!"  - hah. jokes on me.

The class starts and the instructor was hardcore [okay, hardcore in my eyes] and she's all "UP! down! UP! DOWN! turn up the resistance!" and blah.blah.blah. *eyeroll* 

I feel like I'm dying. I cannot feel my legs. There is pain everywhere. Legs. Butt. Feet. I think I might throw up. But I keep on because if these old people are doing it then I better! Finally, class is over and I cannot get off of my bike. Seriously, I couldn't. I sat there for a couple minutes as everyone else gets off and cleans off their seat. I somehow end up melting & sliding off the seat and some old man comes over and makes some joke about it being my first time. Real funny old geezer.

Best part is, the spin room was on the 2nd floor. No elevator obviously so I had to walk down a flight of stairs, with my jello bowed out legs, and holding onto the rail with both hands to insure I didn't fall. And yes, on the way out the door I passed an ex-boyfriend working out. Of course. 
I went to the car and cried a bit before managing to drive myself home. And then I stayed in bed all weekend recuperating. Needless to say I cancelled my gym membership and never went back. NOT FOR ME!

//*okay so since I brought up working out in the post, I thought I would share that I recently became a Beachbody Coach! I am currently doing the new PiYo workout dvds and drinking the Shakeology and I am LOVINGGGG it. PiYo is a Pilates/Yoga Fusion and it's low impact - meaning no jumping around or running in place! The stretching feels so good but it's using your own body weight to tone your body! Pretty neat. I will probably blog about it at a later date but for now shoot me an email if you have any questions, I would love to help you out :) casi_rdms@yahoo.com
