Songs of my Week

I get slightly addicted to songs.

I listen to them over and over for a week or so and then just get so sick of them its crazy.

Here are the songs I keep on singin this week!



Such a fun song to sing along to!



That song is the story of my life man!



I just love this song. I've been playing it for while and am still not sick of it!

I'll post some new stuff next week!

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I sit here right now watching this movie.

I'm an hour and 30 minutes in and have wanted to just turn it off now for about 45 minutes.

I really just want to know how it ends.

Not as good as I thought it would be

I feel like I have to finish it though...

I Love Weekends!!

This weekend was pretty perfect.

On Friday I made an impromptu trip to Dayton to hang out with Stephanie and Courtney...Maybe I'll post some pics once they put them up.

It was fun. We went on a mini bar crawl with Stephanie's roomie. I must say Dayton has got to be one of the classiest cities in all of the world. It is just a sight to see!

Saturday was errand day with Gabi and then I went back over there to a party they were having for her roomie Greg.

He just graduated law school and it was a grand ole time.

Had my first taste of Yingling and it was quite tasty! Along with the pink panty dropper that they made too....yummy!

After the partay I met up with Kelly and we went to Big Bang in the arena district. LOVE THAT PLACE!

They charge cover which sucks but it is such an awesome time! Totally going for my birthday!

Today was a magical day of laying out in the sun drinking margaritas and then cooking out some delicious food.

Can't really ask for a better weekend...

Except that I wouldn't be doing laundry and Howie would be back by now so I don't feel like a terrible roomie!

One More Step in Adulthood!!

Well my friends I took another leap into big girl land today...

I bought me some furniture!!

A cute lil dining table with bar stools and a lovely couch!

Take a looksie...




My lovely friend Gabi accompanied me on my furniture adventure today and I was shocked and amazed that I actually made a decision and bought something!

The salesman at Ashley Furniture was the nicest person in the world. He took off my $100 delivery fee because he said I was so nice...and because I had pretty blue eyes he took off another $50 just because!

Let me tell you if he was about 40 years younger I would have wanted to marry him he was so nice!

Maybe he has a son...

But regardless my new bachelorette pad is really coming to life now that I have real live furniture that will be delivered to it's doorstep on July 23rd!

Goooooo me and my adulthood!!!

When the Sun Goes Down...We'll be Groovin...

Not only was it Holly's bachelorette weekend but it was also Kenny Chesney weekend!

Could not have asked for a better concert!

Perfect weather

Perfect people

Perfect performers

Perfect cold (sometimes) $8 beers...

So that was the only part that may have sucked but everything else was awesome!

I met up with some work gals tailgating before the show...





Gabi of course was my concert going buddy



We may not have had the best seats but we had a fabulous time with our group and the people around us!









Some of the people around us....like at all country concerts...were very interesting...

I think this man was thinking he was going to a crew game and not a Kenny concert...



This man had some children's...hopefully his...feet tattooed on his arm...awesome!



This guy's shirt had a lovely sweat stain on it that we got to see alll night



As always it was a completely fabulous time on my Memorial Day weekend!

Sadly there were no BBQ's to be had but hopefully tomorrow there will be some furniture buying and more relaxing before work again on Tuesday!

And hopefully this summer there will be more concert going!!!

Holly's Bachelorette Party!

So this weekend my sisters and fellow bridesmaids traveled to Columbus for Holly's bachelorette party. I was a little iffy about it at first for one reason...

It was a sober event

Now before you all think I'm an alcoholic let me just say that is not the case, although I have never heard of a sober bachelorette party.

I just sometimes don't think I really fit in with Holly's friends but nonetheless we had a fabulous time.

We had dinner at the cheesecake factory...



Holly got a free bachelorette sundae!



Walked around Easton a bit...



Played some games at Easton and won Holly the Wizard of Oz version of Monopoly...




Ate some dessert poolside at the Hilton



Went back to the room for some more fun...including getting yelled at by security for being too loud...





And took a last shot before the girls left town



All in all it was a great girls night and we actually had a lot of fun! No alcohol needed!

So excited for my lil sister! Just a couple more weeks as a single lady!

Volleyball Game 2

So sadly we lost second game...which was actually our first game of the real season.

The other team won two out of 3 rounds we played. They were the first two rounds and then we played another game for fun and our team ended up winning.

I still really suck.

But hopefully I'm getting better!

I think my serving is improving and I am going for more shots then I normally would. Although that comes back to bite me in the ass sometimes when I don't get them.

I wish there was video of last nights games. One of my team members hit the ball and it came over in my direction in a perfect setup for me to bump it over the net. Well I got down in position to bump and COMPLETELY MISSED THE BALL!!! Like swung my arms up and hit nothing but air!!

It was on our game that doesn't matter but still!! I just fell down to the sand and laughed. That's all there was to do at that point!

Next week is an off week for Memorial Day.

Maybe by the end of the season I will have a decent chance at being a productive member of the team.

Maybe I should also practice a bit here at the Bay...

FAIL

I am a workout failure.

I need her here in my living room and not on the television.

Jillian Trainer Pictures, Images and Photos

I have always had a problem with not pushing myself and as soon as I feel the burn or can't do a move right I stop.

Exactly what I did today...I got real tired and my arms hurt like 5 minutes into the workout and so I turned Jillian right off.

I SUCK!

I will never have buff arms if I just quit like that! I should have went out to my car and got my smaller weights and kept on pushing but nope.

What can I do to push myself?!?!

HELP!!!

Volleyball Game #1

So Nice Set lost their first volleyball game last night. It was a pre-season game so it was ok.

We lost 11-21...at least we scored some points!

And had a lot of fun doing it!

Our strategy for next week is to eat pizza and drink beer BEFORE we play! We did it afterward last night and decided that it would be a better pre-game ritual for the games to come.

I was terrified to play but in the end it was a fabulous time and we had a lot of fun...I already can't wait for next Monday!

Here is the one and only pic that was taken last night aside from some random court shots which don't need posted!

I'll try to take more pics of our team next week!

Enjoy the pic of Missy and I in our fabulous homemade shirts! Please ignore the fact that I am a giant compared to little Missy!

Holly's Bridal Shower

So while at home in Canton I had the pleasure of more wedding fun!

My aunts hosted Holly's bridal shower at a very nice country club in Green and we had a fabulous time with friend and family!

I must say I have the most awesome family there is!

Here are a few pics!



This is Holly's pretty cake!





Cookies and daisies galore!




Pretty centerpieces made by one of my aunts




My mama and sisters




The guest of honor and I




All the girl cousins on my moms side




A darker pic of the girl cousins on my dads sdie

And that is that.

It was a fabulous afternoon and while I am getting sick of this whole wedding thing I am happy for my lil sister and am excited for her big day!

Ready...Set...Go!

Well my first volleyball game of the season starts in exactly one hour and 44 minutes!

All I'm hoping for is to not fall on my face and eat a mouthful of sand!

I hope to drink some beers

See some cute tall boys

Maybe hit a ball or two over the net

And not make a HUGE fool out of myself!

Here's hoping!

Everyone wish me luck and I will let you all know how it goes tonight or tomorrow!

Bizarre Experience

So correct me if I'm wrong but Victoria's Secret is known for their annoying sales people right???

Every time I go in that store I am attacked with women clad in black with a measuring tape around their neck wanting to sell me everything in the store only after they make sure I'm wearing the right size bra!

Well today was completely different

I went to Vicky's today wanting to be fitted...wanting to drop some cash on a bra...

My friend Missy made me wear this completely magical bra on Cinco de Mayo that made it look like I actually had boobs! I wanted it!

So I walk in the store expecting to be hounded the second I walk in but nope

I was in the store for 10 minutes before a salesperson even looked at me!

Then I had to be the one to approach her and ask her for what I wanted...

She was not at all interested in measuring up my boobs or helping me find this magical bra but she did it to make me happy.

After deciding to make the $50 investment on a bra (lets face it I normally buy them on sale for $10 at Target)I was now ready to face the wrath of the cashier trying every angle to open up a credit card...

And I was actually contemplating it...

But nope again!

This woman rang me up...put my receipt in the bag...and sent me on my merry way!

Did I look like a slob?

Did I smell?

Did I have a booger in my nose?

What the heck was wrong with me today and why did those people in the store ignore me??

I felt like Brittany's little nephew walking out of A&F when he looked all pitiful and heartbroken and said "no one said hi to me"

BUT I did get a FABULOUS bra that makes my boobs look AWESOME!!!

I WIN!!

Happy late Mother's Day!

I know it's cliche but I really do have one of the best ma's in world...

She rocks

For real

Look what she does with me!




She is an amazing woman and I was super happy to get to spend the weekend with her!

Happy Late Mother's Day Ma!

Love This Song!

I can't stop listening to this song.

The video is insane and the song makes no sense but I listen to it no less then 3 times everyday before I go to work and sing it at work all the time!

I LOVE IT!!!

New Lingo!

So last night...or this morning...I had quite an interesting convo with a co-worker...granted it was around 5am and we were just ready to get the heck outta dodge but it was pretty interesting.

Me: So Tara do you want to come out with Missy and I to celebrate Cinco De Mayo?

Tara: Well I don't know I live pretty far away

Me: That's no excuse...you could at least come out to get lunch with us!

Tara: Well it is pre-hump day I guess

Me (laughing): And who doesn't want to celebrate pre-humping!

Tara: I do love to pre-hump!

Me: Oh me too...I did some pre-humping in Chicago! It's a good time! Wait we are just talking about making out right???

Tara (laughing): Well I think so??

And there you have it kids...the new word on the street for make out...pre-hump

Spread it like wild fire!
