4 Things

My new ear cuff - I mean, I want a badass one like Kelly Osbourne's but I figured I'd better keep it practical. This way I can wear it everywhere, including work. Unlike my midi ring which I lost. Seriously. How do people keep those things on their fingers?! There's no knuckle to hold them on and if you get one that adjusts in the back, it just gets caught in your hair or on your shopping bags and rips off. It was only a matter of time before I lost that thing but I'm still angry about it. Justin's Peanut Butter cups - these...

Missing Kidd

"You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all he's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or...

Wanderings of my Mind - Love Dare Edition

Learning to Love Unconditionally - I've been scribbling in my journal, reading articles, noticing quotes on Pinterest, ect, ect with The Love Dare I mentioned a couple days ago on my mind. Here are some of the things that have caught my eye as I go through this 40 day challenge. I realized maybe blogging as I go through this isn't the best idea so I'll do a recap at the end. But here's some of what's been on my mind lately due to this challenge 'o mine. Maybe something here applies to something on your heart lately. Love is not...

Walking on Walls

Remember when I said Crossfit was nothing to write home about? Well... last night it was something worth writing a blog about. I went back for another beating, the first time I'd been back since that first day, and they really handed me my booty on a platter, although they made sure that my booty was firm and lifted with lots of lunges and squats. 5 Rounds for time. Although they capped it at 20 minutes, thank you baby Jesus, because 5 rounds was definitely going to take me more than 20 minutes because hot damn! Those wall walks...

Weekend Update

Somehow, this weekend felt like six days long? Anyone else feel like that?! I'm not complaining and I can only assume to even the score, this work week will feel 14 days long... here's hoping I'm wrong on that one. Friday, D and Casey (Ashley's husband) decided to go to Cashley's hometown, a small town in eastern New Mexico to go shoot guns and stuff. Which means Smash and I got to have a girls night! We had dinner and then went to the mall because I needed new undies and she needed a new curling wand. And then we went back to our...

Sugar and Spice

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. - Ephesians 4:2 Googled "Cross Christian" to find a pretty, decorative image of a cross but instead found this one. Win. Last night, I mentioned to my therapist that I had been at Barnes & Noble the previous night looking for a good, non-cheesy devotional with no success. She recommended a devotional based off The Love Dare. So I figured I'd ch-ch-ch-check it out, right? The Love Dare is a 40 day challenge to understand and practice unconditional...

Land of the Free

D accidentally bought a little slice of desert on eBay last night. Paradise, no? He had been looking at hunting leases lately but did you know those things cost like $2000 per person per year!? I about choked on my Larabar when he told me that. I'm not in charge of his money so I couldn't say a big HELL NO, but he knew I was horrified. So he started looking at buying land instead. He's talked about this for as long as I can remember, the desire to own land somewhere. A couple nights ago he said "Woah, did you know they sell land...

Why I love...

I had a pretty perfect childhood. I've never had any major mental or physical health issues I lead a perfectly functional life I'm happy! Really, really happy! All of that said, I LOVE THERAPY. I thought I'd write about my experience with therapy because I know sometimes it comes with a stigma. Or a fear. And there's no need for any of that! So here you go: When I was in college, I heard that through the student health center, you could sign up for FREE therapy. I jumped on board without having any real reason to go. I had just...

Better watch out...

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN!!! (in 167 days) Yesterday, I got excited about Christmas. Now that the Fourth of July is done, obviously my brain shifts to Christmas. Right? That's normal? Aunt Sharon, you feel me, dontcha? Everyone gets ALL worked up about how Christmas decor hits Hobby Lobby in August but I have no beef with this. What else would HL have decking their halls? You can only stock so much Fall decor... it's not going to sell like the Christmas stuff and you'll just end up clearancing it. Christmas stuff is the bomb diggity...

Currently

Watching - Nothing much. It's summer and it's just a bunch of baseball and movies on TV. BUT I did watch Despicable Me last week and hooooomygosh. So so cute! D kept being like, "I reallllly think you'll like it" and I kept blowing him off because it looked dumb... I guess I just remember the "Fart gun" part of the previews and I chalked it up to a movie full of potty humor. Wrong! It was SO PRECIOUS! I cannot cannot cannot wait to see the sequel. Eating Drinking - Peace Green Tea. It's probably about as healthy for you as Vitamin...

Happy Monday

Guess who's writing blogs on her lunch break this fine Monday afternoon? Moi. Because Sunbutty (hehehehe you'll get that in a second) ruined my lunchtime workout. We went to Lubbock this weekend to visit D's mom and didn't get back to town until around 2pm on Sunday. We had a birthday party at 6pm so I made a quick run to the grocery store but didn't have time to do much prep cooking. After the 4 year old's birthday party I was wiped out (shocking, I know) so I curled up on the couch to decompress for a bit. I didn't get to prep cooking...
