It's Hump Day

Today has been (so far) a MUCH better day than yesterday. I was so stressed out I was in tears, it just took so much out of me. Plus AF is in town so I KNOW she didn’t help any. I really hate her. I had to have Jo with me most of the day, and even my closer kept starting sentences to me with “ my wonderful processor” or “my beautiful processor” and “ when you have time”. Let’s just say it was a bad day and leave it at that.  Thank God for the wonderful ladies I work with. Otherwise I am sure I would be going home in tears every day because I just feel so dumb.  I even had to stay late to get a few more phone calls in that I didn’t have time to get to in my normal hours. I was the first one in and last one out. Are we sure it wasn’t a Monday?

When I got to work this morning, with the lunch my mom had packed me ( yes I know I sound 4 here but I am loving every minute of this “mom spoiling me/us time”) Jo was the first one to talk to me and asked if I thought my head would explode today. I kind of laughed because I know I just had panic on my face almost all of yesterday. Anyhow I told her I was ok, but would more than likely need her help later on and she said “that’s fine” to just let her know. I really think Jo and Joyce are my like two favorite people here. They are so supportive and nice and caring and just wonderful really. A little later on Cathy ( my boss) came in and said “ I got you something last night to help with your stress, I thought of you as soon as I saw it” I don’t even know how to explain how nice that made me feel. People always say little things mean the most and this was just so sweet. It’s super silly but still I just love it and it’s so stinking cute!  (Pictures will be below). You know that saying that goes something along the lines of be nicer than needed because everyone is fighting their own battles? I may have put two together here but I think you get my point. Sometimes it’s just nice to feel loved and spoiled, and it’s even better on bad days.  Plus my sweet hubby got me a Blue Red Bull, which I will need as we are going to have a “Game Night” tonight for our friend Stu’s actual birthday.

As I am sitting here writing, during my lunch, eating my Strawberry Pie my mom made for the office I feel a little bit better. Now If AF would stop trying to kill me from the inside out everything would be golden. I will try to snap some pics of game night tonight so I can do a little post on that as well but we will see.

Also I am so looking forward to Valentine’s Day, AF this week means go time Valentine’s day weekend!! Robb booked us the little B&B in Branson we stayed at on our honeymoon/1st anniversary! We just love it there it’s so relaxing and just away from everything and it has a huge bathtub and fireplace that turns on with a light switch! Gosh I so can’t wait to get out of town for a few days and it just be us. We just have to make it through this weekend and next weekend and then its US time. Which we need and will be wonderful!

Lastly we have Silky’s baby shower on Saturday at 3pm, I still need to get her gifts. I know I am slacking but I WILL have something the day of. I am also going to meet Carissa for breakfast Saturday morning and we will follow up with getting our nails done! I so need it mine are looking pretty bad.

Until Next time,
XOXO

This is what Cathy gave me, it came with 3 backgrounds and that little red stick is what makes the fish "swim" and then a little book. so cute 

This is my Strawberry Pie, it was yummy so I wanted to Brag on mom a little bit here. 

This is my cute husband last night, he is trying to get warm here it was so funny watching him try to get the heat to be all on him. Mind you I was sweating at this point lol. 

The Treadmill Plan

So I had been wanting a treadmill for like ever. I decided that this was the year i was going to get on the ball and get one. I just had to find it, on craiglist, for $200 or less and it be in good/newer condition. I don't know how I lucked out with this but I really, really did! I found almost exactly what I wanted but for $250 and at 2am. I went back and forth about messaging the seller. Then finally I thought "OK she/he will see it first thing in the morning" you know if its not already spoken for (also I only offered $200). I woke up to an email and it was mine, Now only to find a vehicle to move it from point A to point B. We ended up getting my Mother In Law to come help us, and goodness was it a nightmare getting it in and even worse back out of that car. Poor Robb had the worst time getting it put back together, but he did and LOOK!!

Isn't that nice!? and they gave us the little mat that goes underneath it. So knowing me I just had to have NEW shoes for my NEW treadmill. So just a few days after we got this sucker ready to go, new shoes were acquired.

COME ON! THE CUTTENESS!!

I also bought a little journal to keep track of my "walks" 

I thought this would help keep me accountable and it did for about two weeks, and then my excuses came flooding in. But I will say I do use this a LOT more than anything else and it's a LOT cheaper and warmer and way more convenient that going to a stupid gym. So when I DO walk on this I log it. I also watch The Vampire Diaries on Nextflix while I walk, which makes it go by so much faster. 

See those speakers on the side!? 

I love my Treadmill. :) 

Until Next Time, 

XOXO

The Next Great Baker

Have you seen this show?! If not you should. We are currently obsessed with this show. Sadly we powered through the two seasons on Netflix a lot faster than expected. Anyhow this being said, Grandma has set a date for her wedding. We were talking about it via text and Robb said" Tell her I have been watching The Next Great Baker and I can make her wedding cake!" Well grandma got excited and said "Ok!" So now my darling husband has this huge baking task ahead of him. So last night he started his practice cake. I was honestly pretty impressed. I stayed up just long enough to try the pieces he cut off, only to wake up to it fully frosted. and yes he made the frosting. Its so cute when he gets set on a project. He has been talking to his mom and our friend Krystal who are both bakers as well.  So I wanted to share a picture of his cute little cake. 

Isn't that cute!

Here he is making the cake :) 

This past weekend was a pretty good weekend. We took mom and (kidnapped) Krystal to Pop's and then in an impromptu decision we all went to Eskimo Joe's for some Cheese Fries!! It was a pretty fun little day. Sunday was a pretty lazy day until all of Robb's Cake Making started. Here is a picture from when we stopped at the Red Barn on Route 66 after Pop's. 

Friday we had a Surprise dinner party for Stu at Chuy's. Good Lord the wait time there was just awful but the food was pretty good and the company was outstanding. I ordered the Steak Burrito as it comes and holly hell fires that sucker was SPICY!! Now I love me some Spicy food but Woah! I didn't eat very much of it. I mostly wanted Robbs', his was of course the way better choice. Here is the EXTREMELY blurry picture the waiter took for us. 

Until Next Time, 

XOXO

So many updates!!

Hello all or few I am not really sure I even have readers. Which is fine too but I hope I have some. I know I have been absent for quite some time. A lot has happened. A lot that we won’t really go into, so let’s just jump right back into this and I will update you on a few things that have happened to me/us in the past however long. ( I don’t even remember when my last post was)
I am not really sure to do this update so I thought bullet points would be fun for each “thing”
·         I had my first non-vacation massage yesterday. (1/21/14) I am pretty sure this was more of a torture house.  I was in full on panic by the time the lady even got to the room. Once she started talking to me I calmed down a bit, but I am just not one for nakedness with strangers. At least not anymore. It was nice but mostly painful. I carry a lot of stress and emotions in my back/shoulders so everything was “angry” in her words.  Robb was trying to be sweet and get this for me as a surprise and it was really sweet.  He had never just bought me something as a surprise before. I don’t really like surprises I like to KNOW things lol. So fast forward to this morning and KILL ME NOW. My back muscles hurt SO bad. Daisy walked over my back this morning to see Robb and I almost cried it hurt so badly. I was for real considering calling in today so I could NOT move at all. It’s going to be such a long day.
·         Monday we had the day off work, and by “we” I mean my work because Robb didn’t take it off.  My beautiful Emily shaped friend met my mom and I for lunch and we talked movies and her baby. It was nice to catch up. Then we went to Kupcakes and got 7 cupcakes of different varieties, the lemon was to die for just FYI. I had to get my oil changed as well and while I was doing that I was texting Silky, when I told her what I was doing she said “ being an adult is so cool” I don’t know why but that was so super funny to me. Once the oil was finished I ran (drove) back to the house to get mom again and we met up with Stu to watch Frozen at the AMC. I LOVED that movie it was so good. And emotional me cried at like everything. I want to go see it again already and I copied the soundtrack from a girl at work that had a copy. I know I’m 5 but it was so cute, if you haven’t seen it already you need to.
·         Saturday was an ok day, I say ok because Robb was in a pissy mood and decided taking it out on me was the best cure for that. It was not. But we did go see Devil’s Due with Kyle and Brandi. DO NOT GO SEE THIS MOVIE.  Worst “scary” movie ever. There were so many holes in the story and it was NOT scary at all. I am pretty sure I could have written and acted out a better movie than this one was.  I had such high hopes to. Was just awful. Anyhow then we all went to Joe Mommas where I got to have my beloved Betty White Pizza and it was delish as always! I kind of want another one now that I am thinking about it. I am pretty sure we own Kyle and Brandi another night out as that one ended up pretty bad.
·         Sunday, I know I went out of my backwards order here but you needed to know a “fight” happened Saturday so you would understand why I angry movie shopped. I took mom to get more of her things from that trailer, which everything is out now thank the lord so we can be done with that whole awful group of them. Sidetracked sorry, after that we (I) went angry movie shopping. That’s what I do to “make Robb mad” when he has made me mad. Although I don’t think it actually makes him mad, but it makes me feel better so at least I feel like I win on that.  I bought about $62 in movies from Family Video J I love movies. I will have to take a picture of the “movie closet” so you can see how much I like them. Also the Broncos won their game so they are going to the SUPERBOWL!!! I am pretty excited about that I really hope they win!
·         For new years I found and bought myself a nice treadmill which I love. I haven’t been on it as much as I should be here lately but I do love it. And I got a little note pad to log in what I do on what days. It helps keep me accountable.
·         For Christmas we went to my grandma on my mom’s side, So Robb was finally able to meet that part of the family. The Normal side and they all loved him. J It was a really good Christmas. I hope we go out there again next year.
·         I don’t know if I had posted about thanksgiving or not but that was just a mess. My dad is such a worthless POS, as is his wife and their friends. Bah! I feel so bad for grandma, she deserves a better son. He didn’t use to be as awful as he is now. but my “dad” it being cut out of my life for the better of just all of us. I don’t need to be around someone who doesn’t care about me at all. And I know I will be so much better off without trying to MAKE a relationship happen with him when he could care less about anyone but himself and his lies. I’m sorry I’m not 12 anymore I know you are lying.
·         Mom is officially living with us. She has been for a while but now it’s more of a permeate thing. Until she gets back on her feet she will be at our house. Which we don’t mind because home cooked meals and a clean house it worth a few extra dogs. And we have grown to LOVE anyhow.
·         Ohh my BBF is having a GIRL!!! I am so excited for her! Leah is having a BOY!! And we have our fingers crossed for a GIRL for Emily! The baby journey for us however is on hold for a while. It sucks but it’s going to be for the best.

Well I guess that pretty much sums up a bit of what’s been going on in the last few months(ish) any ways. I will try to update on a more regular basis, it’s hard to do that here lately because my mom using my home computer to play Pappa Pear on my FB lol.

Below are a few pictures of things that have happened from this post until next time XOXO

 

A few shots from the last two "girls nights" We have so much fun together!
