Feeling Girly


Origami heart $

Yup, crazy cat lady is making an appearance!





Bridal party and me!

Rocking the hi-low's

bloggers!

Some awesome from lately:
  • My 2nd bridal shower with friends and my future mother in law
  • Getting closer to my big bro and helping him through some deep sh*t
  • Belting out tunes at the top of my lungs while deep cleaning the house
  • Finding perfect signs for my home at Big Lots
  • Sorting mail (I don't know why I like doing it but it's relaxing and feels so satisfying at the end)
  • Taking my office back, it's no longer going to be my storage/animal room damn it!
  • Getting excited about my wedding again!  Can't wait to party!
  • Chilling with my bridal party and talking about everything and anything.  I <3 those girls so much!
  • Rocking a brand new outfit (lace earrings, my first hi-low dress, down to the TALLEST heels I have in my closet!  I even went against one of my fashion dislikes and got peep toes!)
  • Having a blast at work on an over time day.  It seriously felt like I was hanging out with good friends instead of working.  Oh and there was a giant amount of free food because we decided to do a potluck.  Best...idea...of the month!!!!

Getting better


Tiger in his newly upgraded bigger tank!
My display for work

Little blingy centers

Disney font :)


Some awesome from today:

  • Spreading the Southern accent I adopt on Wednesdays with one of my amazing fun co-workers.  We were able to bring out the Southern in at least 3 different people today :)  There's something about a southern accent that is so uplifting and cheerful!  Funny thing is, is if my co-worker and I are not together we go back to normal.  It's the silliest thing. Oh and we are NOT southern at all!
  • Bursting out into giggle fits several times through out the day.
  • FREE hot dogs for lunch at work!
  • Getting compliments on my paper flowers.  We had an "art walk" at work today and I brought my paper flowers in to showcase.
  • Having one of my bridesmaids offer to host a little gathering for me at her new place once she's all settled in.  It's amazing how sweet people can be :)
  • Feeding my dog peanut butter and watching her lick her lips for 5 minutes straight
  • Watching my smallest kitty and dog eskimo kiss
  • Seeing little fishy Tiger swimming around like crazy in his newly upgraded tank
  • Getting my ass out of bed at 3:15am to run the dog...no more excuses!
  • Getting over time scheduled for this coming week!  Hello bigger paycheck!!!! :)

Smallest gesture

 



The smallest gesture can turn your whole perspective around.  My baby girl decided I needed a bed time hug.  It's moments like these that remind me how simple and wonderful life is sometimes.

Trying to distract

The past couple of days have been a whirl wind of activity for me!  I'm trying to distract myself from missing my man.  It's only been a week since he's been gone but it never get's easier :(  Anyways first there were triple digits in Orange County CA to straight up galloping on a horse trail...

Flea market & first time at Ikea.  It was sooooo hot that we abandoned shopping at the flea market super early.  Our bodies just couldn't take the 100+ heat.  I am not made for SoCal weather at all!
Rubber duckies taken to a WHOLE nother level!

puppy purses

super cute tissue box covers.  so what if me and g-ma's have similar tastes when it comes to such fabrics!

BLUE!!!!

:)





Floating sushi restaurant =  my weakness

Exhausted after the first walk thru of Ikea

Testing out reading chairs

Rocking my new lace tennis shoes
Horseback riding 2nd time:

Not sure where I'm looking but this horse really wanted to eat my necklace and shirt!

Trying to eat my phone!  But his eyeball was AWESOME!  Blue and brown!


going up a mountain!
Sweet secret forest trail


Ready to go riding

My horse was a rebel, he didn't walk on pavement!

Lone ranger off to the side

Beautiful scenery!
Horseback riding takes so much out of you!  I haven't felt so exhausted in a long time!  I experienced galloping for the first time in this session.  Not going to lie I thought I was going to die! As a novice when the horse goes any faster than a walk I freak out, haha!  At least I finally figured out how to lift myself up off the saddle when such things happen so the pain factor is dramatically decreased.  After that it got a lot better and I actually felt like I kind of knew what I was doing :)
