20's

"enjoy yourself - that's what your 20's are for... Your 30's are to learn the lessons... Your 40's are to pay for the drinks!"-SJP in SATC

and "enjoy myself" is exactly what i plan to do!

tuesday motivation

"I hated training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'" - Muhammad Ali

or in my case, live the rest of your life with a "summer body" ... at least that's what i need to tell myself to get me in the gym... 4th day in a row!

Day 4

Day four: seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1. Cupcakes
2. My future body, which will involve a flat stomach and no love handles
3. My brother
4. Wondering what type of man my future husband will be
5. How many people I’ll invite to my wedding (no really, I’ve written up my guest list more than once)
6. How GREAT my life will be once I can sell my house
7. My dad

day 3

Eight ways to win your heart

1. Through my sweet tooth ... because i like sweets...
2. Through my family ... if they love you, i love you... it's that simple... and if YOU love THEM, even better!
3. By killing bugs ... nothing says lovin' like bug juice smeared across my wall... a man who will watch me struggle to kill anything is not the man for me
4. By fixing something ... i love handy men.... even if you don't know what you're doing - fake it 'till you make it...
5. By pumping my gas ... because i'm a lady, and it's the gentlemanly thing to do
6. By making me laugh ... the couple that laughs together stays together.. or something like that
7. Working out with me ... because a couple that works out together lives long, healthy lives together
8. If you just "get" me ... because sometimes i don't even get myself

sums things up nicely

I didn't know what I wanted to do,
but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.

-Diane Von Furstenberg

(shout-out to Jenee' for providing today's quote)

day 2

nine things about myself...

1. i am NOT a morning person. i struggle constantly to decide what do i need more that day: a shower, or 10 more minutes of sleep. Sadly, sleep often wins
2. i can't sleep with the TV on. And if my future husband has trouble understanding that, we may be one of those 2-bedroom household's
3. the quickest way to my heart is through my sweet tooth (but no brownies or donuts please!)
4. i love, love, LOVE weddings. Reading about them, attending them, watching them on TV, dreaming of what mine will be like once i can get out of atl and find a real man, etc.
5. my nightmare job would be to work for a diaper cleaning service (http://www.ecobabydiaperservice.com/)
6. i'm 5'9". Shortest person in my immediate family. Always wished I was 5'10"
7. i choose happiness over money any day!
8. i've been a vegetarian for 16 years. I decided one day on a school bus that i'd stop eating meat because it was "what the cool kids do!" ... and it suck
9. my favorite thing in the summer is a margarita and, a patio, and a live band... can't go wrong with that!

Day 1

ten things you want to say to ten different people right now... aaaaaand, GO:

1. i would much rather be single than to be stuck with an immature liar/cheater. i wish you felt the same - he deserved to learn a lesson the hard way.
2. people would be able to sympathize more with your health if you weren't such a bitch... bitch!
3. you seem like fun. lets hang out - in a platonic type of way - this weekend
4. you need to up your standards. that last boyfriend? i was embarrassed to be seen with him in public.
5. dear kroger lady: what.the.EFF.are.you?!?
6. thank you for being a friend (travel down the road and back again...)
7. i have a pretty serious crush on you.
8. dear les: i love you. i'm so proud of you. don't ever lose hope!
9. dear mom: i love you. i appreciate everything you do. and i don't know what i'd do without you
   
10. dear dad: i love you. i miss you. and i'm sorry if i ever hurt you

my boss put in her notice a few weeks ago, and her last day was this week. so here i am: 4th week on the new job, still learning my role, now taking over for my boss. pretty cool situation to be in, but needless to say, very stressful. which is why i'm taking a much needed trip home to visit my familia and meet my new nephew!! and i'm coming home armed with this:

gotta start them off young...
