I'm just like you so leave me alone..

Saw Hunger Games again tonight with the hubs. I definitely enjoyed it more this time around. The first time I watched it, I kept anticipating what I knew was going to happen next. But this time, I just..watched it. He really liked it too..he thought the beginning was a little slow but really liked it.
We went to eat at BJ's. It's our old faithful. We go there all of the time because we know the food will be good, they have a huge menu, good beer, and the best french fries ever.
My hip feels a little better today..Although, I did try to run a tad earlier and it hurt. But feels better now. Must be tendinitis. Which means: rest and ice! 2 things that I just can't do. I hate ice, and it's hard for me to rest! I just think about everything that I could be doing at the time and I can't help it. So we will see.
I didn't necessarily start running to lose weight..if I was then I'm pretty bad at it because I've only lost 6 measly pounds! I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I really enjoy it. I feel so much better afterwards..My legs are getting so strong. If I miss a day or 2, I kind of crave it. It's a good time to think, listen to some jams, pray.. just get everything out. Ah, sorry for going on about that..there's not much going on in my life right now, obviously!
It's my bedtime so farewell!
Until tomorrow..

This is how we do it, it's Friday night..

So. How many of you people went out and bought a lottery ticket for mega millions?? Ha! I think my husband actually put in some $ at his work because they were all buying some. I think its so funny how crazy people get over the lottery. I mean, I guess someone is gonna win it, right?

Tonight I'm being so lazy. Almost caught up on Once Upon A Time/snuggled with Vega, soaked in a hot bath (I think I pulled one of my hip flexors..I was in pain while running today!), ate some starbucks ice cream (Yes! Caramel machiatto mmm..), and now watching some Al Pacino movie with the hubs. One of my friends keeps asking me to come out to a bar thats close to my house..but I'm just not interested. It's not very often that I feel like going to a bar..Especially ones where you know EVERYONE that you've ever known (although, now it's mostly the younger crowd who all know my younger brother and have to come up and ask me, "How's Charlie? How's Charlie? Where is Charlie? We need Charlie..")..where they smoke in (my hair always reeks when I leave. ew.)..and it just overall makes me feel a little sad for some people. I mean..I like beer. and wine. and other alcoholic beverages. But I don't, like, wait for Friday night just so I can get plastered and act like a crazy person and do dumb things that I can just blame on the alcohol the next day, when I wake up feeling gross and have a headache and can't get anything done. Sorry, that was a long sentence. A rant, if you will. I think I shall sign off now, as I am starting to sound a little crazy. 

Ps-I'm really enjoying The Pioneer Woman's book!

If you choose to let me love you..

Ha! I promised you another boring blog and now you're gonna get it!
Hopefully this will help me to not forget another day!
Waiting at home for the hubby to get back from his guys night at the Himalayan Restaurant.
When he's not home for supper, I never cook. I just eat most/all of these random things (not in any particular order): salad, protein shake, yogurt+berries, edamame, carrots, dark chocolate, almonds and/or peanuts, and various other fruits or vegetables. I don't know why I can't bring myself to actually cook something just for myself! I guess that's why I cook like 10 things when Judah is home for supper.
In other news, I think there will be a girl's weekend in Grand Isle soon. Yay! I pretty much start thinking about heading back down to the camp ooohhh I'd say on January 1st. I love Grand Isle. I don't care if most chicks think it's gross, I just love it. Always have. Even when I would get so seasick on the boat and just lay there with a wet rag on my forehead..I would still go out there every time we went. Sooo yeah girls weekend. There will be no fishing or crabbing..but just being there is enough for me. Just smelling that Grand Isle smell (you know the one), watching the sun set, opening the freezer to an unending supply of any kind of candy/ice cream you would want..well that's enough for me.
Besides that weekend trip, I really don't have any other trips planned. Judah and I want to go so many places..Idk how we will choose where to go this year! I'm sure there will be a few more Florida trips, but I gots to go to somewhere new. Gots to.
I think that shall be it for this eve. The husband is home.
Goodnight guys!

Don't know why you're so primary red..I'm primarily blue..

Forgot to blog AGAIN. So, I'm doing it while I'm sitting here at work.
I'm so excited that Sucre's new album is coming out very soon! I really like the 2 songs that Stacy released so far. There aren't very many new artists that I like, but technically, Sucre' are just artists that I love with a new sound. I really think I'm stuck in a music rut. I listen to the same music that I did like 10 years ago. I still love He is Legend and I never skip it when my iPod is on shuffle. I wish they were still together, man. If I go to South Carolina anytime in the near future, I am going to find the Satellite Bar where Schuylar works. And I'm gonna go there and order a beer from him. But then I will probably be too nervous to talk to him. I also still LOVE MuteMath..or Mute Math..or Mutemath. I have it in my iPod a few different ways..I just love all of their albums. I love how different they are..and how they are evolving as a band. I don't know why I'm talking about music..Imean obviously I talk about Thrice all of the time so you people know how I feel about them! I am getting excited for the As Cities Burn show coming up next month..it's gonna be sooo fun. Haven't been to a show in awhile and I'm ready!
I finally finished ready Alfred Hitchcock's book, A Month Of Mysteries. I reallllly liked it. I am not a fan of horror, but I really like mystery. There were some crazy stories in that book. Now I have to get back into Catcher in The Rye, and also (thanks to Ash), The Pioneer Woman's book. I probably have 10 books on my bed side table that are half read..or not even touched yet. There are so many thing I want to read!
I've bored you enough for now..guess I will bore you again later ha!

Indeed I am a blessed soul, captive in this human role..

I alllllmost forgot to blog again..girls, we aren't doing a very good job this year!!
I don't actually feel like blogging much today..I am still tired/exhausted from this weekend..getting home at midnight on Sunday night and having to get up the next morning at 6 to go right back to work..it was hard. I finally just finished unpacking and putting clothes away.
Is anyone else watching The Biggest Loser this season? I think I'm the only person I know who watches it..Imean it is a long time to sit and watch a TV show..I usually am cooking or doing something else while watching it. The Fashion Star show is on right now in the background..and can I just say how horrible it is? It's so bad. Project Runway will forever be #1 in my heart :)
I don't really have much to blog about today..sorry!
I really need to go see The Hunger Games again this week..
That's all.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know..

Ahhh I cannot get that song out of my head today! I have been singing it all day..and maybe I listened to it several times on the drive home. So what! Who cares! It reminds me of The Police in the 80's.
I know I missed 3 days of blogging and I'm sorry! The entire weekend was a huge whirlwind. It was filled with Hunger Games, pizza, Minneapolis, catfish eating competitions, more pizza, DQ, burgers, dopplegangers, and shopping. Lots and lots of shopping.
I really liked The Hunger Games movie. Yeah, lots of little things were left out..but overall I thought it was great. My movie review sounds a lot like everyone else's who reads this blog, so just know that I concur :)
I do have to say that meeting another person named Arissa was for sure one of the weirdest things that's ever happened to me (so not that many weird things have happened to me, sorry!!). It feels so good to know that someone went through the EXACT thing I did growing up, and even still now! We both work with [mostly] the elderly population, and we bo[l]th agree that they do not understand arisa. They can understand Marissa, Clarissa, Melissa..pretty much every single name that rhymes with Arisa. Why can't they understand it!??
When I came home the house was a wreck. So now I must go put away all of my new clothes :-) and wash/fold/hang all of the rest of the clothes mountains in our bedroom.
So, goodnight!

May the odds be ever in your favor..

ONE MORE DAY!! LESS THAN ONE MORE DAY!! Sorry. I'm a taddy bit excited. But at the same time I'm sad too. Because as long as I've been waiting to go to Minnesota this weekend..it's gonna be over in the blink of an eye. But I'm so happy and it's gonna be so fun. The entire weekend is pretty much planned out..we have so much to do in such little time! I think I am most excited for these things in this order: 1) to see Charlie and Stephie 2) to see Hunger Games right when we get there(!) 3) To go to the Mall of America (and H&M..I am saving all my monies for that!!) and 4) to see Adrian in one of his food competitions..sorry that you have to come in last, Amo, but I <3 you anyway!
Must go pack now
Must only choose 3 outfits to wear (how does one do that?? I usually dress based upon how I am feeling that day and who knows how I will feel?? I will probably suffer too much mental anguish over this decision, which is the silliest thing I've ever heard!)
Must paint fingernails Hunger Gamesish color
Must have long cuddles with puppies
Must eat all dark chocolate in house
Must stop typing.


sorry. (gilly voice).

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound..

Finally hooooome! We just drove through 2 hours of the worrrst weather ever.  I was terrified because every time I looked at my facebook I would see someone commenting about the tornadoes and stuff..so. I sat very still..held onto my phone tight (After people get in wrecks, they always tell me they couldn't find their phone) and I uncrossed my legs..if something were to happen I wouldn't want my legs to be all tangled. And I was in a trance like state for about an hour until Judah said something that broke the silence..then I felt like the worst person who calls themself a 'christian' ever. Because, just like my mom, the second anything looks like it could go wrong or something looks scary or gloomy, I automatically pray. Every single time. I just do it without thinking. But then I was still scared. I let the fear take over me. I tend to do this in many situations..I guess I just pray out of habit. Which for sure can be a good thing. But I don't always believe what I'm saying..It's something I gotta work on for sure. And we made it home safe and sound! It was really bad weather though..we saw a ton of cars sitting on the side of the interstate with their flashers on waiting it out. scary.

Okay now I shall write about some warning labels for reading my blog..I'm having a hard time with this one but here it goes! (A few things will be the same as you guys reading this, but whatevs!)

1.) I ramble. I'm all over the place. My brain has a hard time staying on one topic! I'm sorry!!

2.) I always apologize for the way I feel. Sorry! (ha!)

3.) I love my doggies as if they were my birth children..and..and I'm NOT sorry!!

4.) I, too, use song lyrics as my blog titles because I hate titles and I would leave it blank if I had to think of one every time. 

5.) My blog sometimes can get real serious. 

(sorry)

I will probably think of like 87 more things later that I could have said, but those are the 5 things I'm gonna say and I'm not gonna apologize for typing them! Now!

I'm trying to set up Nikeplus right now..anyone know anyone that uses that or the Path app? I'm so confused, but I think it will help me keep track of my runs better (and motivate me to go farther! and faster!) 

So that's my 2nd blog for today! Ohhh yah I forgot..I got the Hunger Games soundtrack (which I didn't love, btw..I just got it because I was so excited) and now I can't contain myself anymore and I'm gonna try so hard to make tomorrow go by really fast so that I can be on an airplane to Minnesoooota to watch the Hunger Games. 

It's so hard to say goodbye..(to the beach)

Okay so I know I skipped another day..so I'll blog twice today! We stayed up late watching the movie J. Edgar and I was too tired to to anything but go to sleep afterwards. The movie was okay. I do like watching movies about history bc I have forgotten so much about it. And I really do enjoy learning about things that have happened in the past. Apparently I don't remember J. Edgar being gay..or at least my teachers never taught that. I did think Leo DiCaprio did a good job with that role. We are coming home today! But first we are going to spend the day in Pensacola (AND there is a star bucks there!) after that we will be on the way home. I'll try to have a longer blog tonight when we get home. I'm so happy to go home and get my Vega! I miss her soooo much. Catch y'all later.

I ain't missin you at all..

Can't believe I remembered to blog! We are having such a good time on vacation, I don't think we ever want to come home. Actually, we decided to stay an extra night..which means we will be coming back on Wednesday (sorry mom, you're stuck with my doggies!) today we pretty much just laid around and played on the beach. This afternoon, Judah and I went shopping with his brother and his wife (Jared and Joy) because it's Joy's birthday on Wednesday. Shopping! My favorite thing in the world! I did buy a new pair of tennis shoes at the Nike store.. They were only half the price that they are back home (it was an outlet mall). Joy, on the other hand, didn't get ONE thing..she looked at the Coach purses and some jewelry..but she has to absolutely love something to buy it. I am so jealous of people that can do that. I don't have to have a Coach bag..and I'm not into sparkly jewelry..but I always feel like I need to buy something! I love clothes so much..I know I have a spending problem. I'm trying to work on it! After we shopped, we ate at the best restaurant in Destin, Dewet's..we watched the sunset on the pier, it was so pretty! I got grilled snapper..it was amazing. Afterwards, we came home and just hung out..told embarrassing stories about each other..it was good times. We are goin to bed now.. Until tomorrow, goodnight!

I threw it on the ground..

Yay for wifi! Blogging from judah's iPad. It takes like triple the time to type on here! Oh wells..can I just say I'm beat. Past ready to go to sleep. Didn't get any sleep Friday night (but I had such a good time at the Radio Bar!) got here late last night..Was woken up at 7 am today by the nephew. The boy wakes up early and has an unending supply of energy.I swear. We are having a great time so far..got sun burnt on the beach..walked on the pier..laid by the pool..went with the girls for margaritas while the dudes cooked and Grammy watched the baby..we had a really full day and I'm so ready for bed! But I'm sooooooooo super excited for Hunger Games!!!! And to see Pernkie :) and I guesssss to see Charlie and Steph! Off to sleepy land I go for now. Nighty night!

Da beach..

So..I missed another day.oops! We made it to Navarre Beach! I'm gonna go spend time with the fam now :)

You know, it's not that bad..

Ah! Can't believe I forgot to blog yesterday :-/
Probably because I never took my computer out of my work bag last night! My husband and I went out to eat and kinda just fell asleep when we got home. Actually..I was trying to catch up on the TV show, Once Upon A Time. My co workers watch it and I watched it when it first came on..I like it okay. I think some of the acting is a little cheesy at times. But I guess that's okay, because the show is about fairy tales and myths and legends sooo.
There really aren't many TV shows that I like these days..we mostly just put the Food channel on and watch Chopped over and over and over and over..and over. I think I have seen every episode.
I am sooooo incredibly happy that it's Friday today..I feel so drained this week. I don't really know why, because we haven't been that busy at work. Tomorrow we are leaving to go to Navarre Beach with Judah's family. Maybe I have just been needing a vacation. It feels really early to be going to the beach, but hey, I'm not gonna complain about a vacay OR going to the beach! It will be really nice to spend time with Judah's brother and his wife and also Judah's sister. His aunt and uncle recently moved to Navarre so it will be nice to spend time with them, too. I do love my Vedros' family so much. Over the past few months I have felt really lonely..and I've just been praying for a good friend. Believe me, I have GREAT friends. Buttt you know how you just have those few that you really just connect with? I have a few of them here (and a few of them up north!!), it's just making the time to actually spend with them. The reality is, I am extremely blessed to have so many close friends/family and cousins that really love me. Sometimes I just need to tell myself to shut up when I start to feel sorry for myself. I want you gals that are reading this (and you know who you are) to know that I love you so much and I value our friendship/relationships. Anywho, I think what I was getting to is that I'm excited to spend time with Judah's fam at the beach!

Das all for today, y'all.

Saddle up your horses..

Ummm. Why did I just read on someone's facebook status that Steven Curtis Chapman was in Louisiana and I'm not there?? I am so mad! I saw him when I was like..um 12 or 13 years old. And then I went to get his autograph and I think he was in a bad mood because he wouldn't really talk to anyone. I have to give him a chance to redeem himself!!
Anywho, it's the first day of the Ides of March challenge! That means I gotta blog every day. I can do it. I just hope I don't bore you guys to tears.
So guess I'll just blog about my day....welllll...I was happy that I could work very close to home today (so I could sleep in an extra hour!) We had a steady flow of patients so it was pretty good day. I stayed after work to exercise..ran 2 miles..did some other stuff..came home and cooked some porkchops. and sauteed zuchinni and squash and cooked rice. annnd some kale chips..annnd something bad. I had an extra zuchinni so I got crazy and pan fried that sucker. (Does it make it-any-healthier that I used egg whites and spelt flour??ha!). It was really good! Thank God I only did one zuchinni because I couldn't stop eating it.
Ah! Something awesome happened today. I bought my ticket to see Thrice in New Orleans for their farewell tour in May!!!!!! The day after my birthday!!!!!! I don't think you people know how much this means to me. I know I have said like so many things about them..but honestly. If you wanna hear someone sing da truth..listen to dem! Seriously, they have helped me through so many situations in my life, they will really never know how much they mean to lil old me. I even got a tattoo from some of their album art :) (put a bird on it!!) <--for my fellow Portlandia watchers..if you haven't seen that episode..just youtube that phrase and watch the minute and a half sketch. It's so true! ha.
Alas, the dirty dishes are screaming my name.

(note: I was just informed by Ashleigh that The Ides of March doesn't start until March 15..sooo..oops!!)
