Old School Bestie Photos

Me and Lindsay.

A friendship that actually developed out of a relationship of a friend of B's.  It didn't last, but one thing that did last was my friendship between me and her.

Yes, she is younger.  Yes, she is a Bammer.

But I still love her.  

I was going through some older pictures (mainly trying to figure out how in the bejeesus I'm going to scan all those puppies so I can have them digitally), and decided that there were so many old pictures of Lindsay and I!  Back from the first night we actually got to meet at Cajun Steamer, to bar nights at Blue Monkey, to dressing up and going out for Halloween, New Orleans trips, and discovering N*SYNC Christmas in my purse and jamming out to it.

So while her relationship with B's friend wasn't meant to last, ours most certainly was!

Here's to you chick!  <3 p="">

I've had so much fun being your friend!  Here's to many more awesome bestie moments and sweet ass pictures!

Happy Things

This has been one of the worst weeks at work that I can remember.  I feel so overwhelmed that ti's impossible for me to even feel successful.  

I feel like I'm so far away from where I should be in my life, and it's really starting to bother me.   So I've been trying to think of the little things that make me happy; the things that get me through the day.

Transportation friends; people who truly understand what I do every single day.  Without these guys to bitch to, I would have no idea how to handle what I do.

My Stell-dog.  She is so amazingly sweet and just knows when you're sad.  She'll come and nuzzle and just be sweet.  And sometimes sweet doggy cuddles are all you really need.  I mean when you come out of the shower to this, how in the world can you not love it?

And then you have a random ass Yoshi just hanging from somebody's rear view mirror...I really don't know how you can get much better than this.  I'm pretty sure I laughed for ten minutes straight.

 

And then there's food.  I've been low-carbing it for a while, so these hot wings were exactly what I needed.  They were so hot, but they were so good.  I'm pretty convinced that wings are the best thing in the world.  Also bruschetta done right with fresh mozarella, tomatoes and basil grown in the backyard?  Pretty hard to beat.

           

Anyway, these are a few of the things that are helping me keep my sanity this week.  Also the promise of a Braves game and seeing one of my oldest friends from high school is keeping a smile on my face.

Only one more day.  I think I can, I think I can.

5 Reasons

why I love this man....

 

(I like to remind myself of these every so often)

 

 

1.  He cooks for me pretty much every night, and doesn't ever make me feel bad that I can't do it. 

 

2.  He hung up on iPad holder thing in front of my treadmill, so I can watch TV while I'm running.  Which I've found out is a way better option than always listening to music.  It definitely helps with the trying to forget I'm running part.

 

3.  He pretty much lets me drink wine whenever I want.

 

4.  He puts up with my clothing/hair accessories/Pinterest/nail polish obsessions and rarely says anything about it.

 

5.  He sometimes lets me think I know what I'm talking about, even though sometimes I know I have no clue and fake it anyway.

 

and a bonus....

 

He lets me complain about and talk about my job as much as I want.  Sometimes he'll add his input, but most of the time, he'll just listen.  And most of the time, that's all I need.

 

So to you, sweet B, for being the unfortunate person on this planet that has to deal with me.  I sure do love you a lot.

Simple Things That Are Making Me Happy Now *

* except for my Austin trip this weekend

* and except for my trip to Kansas City in a few weeks

I mean, look at this sweet sweet dog.  Again, I love her way way too much.

Sushi from this past weekend.  We got to eat this on a patio, during a little thunderstorm and rain.  After this we went to see Mud, which was actually a really good movie.  Sushi can always make me smile.



Leslie's first green number at work!!  We are so proud of her. (For those not down on the green/red  number deal, these are our goals at work and how many loads we are supposed to hit in one day).

I needed to remind myself of something happy today, because not only did all of our lives get threatened today by a crazy ex-driver, but I also had two service failures in ten minutes this afternoon.  It was awesome. 

Sometimes you just need to sit back and relax and remember the things that make you happy.
