New Blog Design Coming Soon

This Totally Made My Night : )

A wise friend told me this the other night and it has really stuck to me so i thought id share : )

Me- "How did i get mixed up with such crazy friends?"
Brandie "i cant tell you that one
Taz- "No, You didn't get mixed up with us, its like cotton candy, Your the stick and you just got stuck in and swirled around and we just stuck to you"

So now cotton candy has a whole new meaning to me : )

Its that time again!

Battle Of The Winter Pounds!

(here is a cartoon to brighten it up)

Its time as winter is slowly going away. I wish i could say its almost gone but its starting to get there. With spring and summer coming soon we all know what that means, shorts, skirts, tank tops, flip flops etc. Along with the regular pedicures and new clothes shopping there are the dreaded bathing suits. If your anything like me during the winter you become a little less active and just want to hibernate and don't exactly watch what you eat you can put on some pounds. So im starting early this year and im battling the winter bulge! I don't have an EXACT diet plan but im taking meals from different ones and combining them like i did last time and it seems to be working. My FAVORITE recipes right now are coming from the biggest loser cookbooks. They are so good and taste just like the normal meal without sacrificing. I also love love love the cook yourself then cookbook. As for my exercise im going to take a different approach starting out with the 30 day shred and then doing different workout videos since they seem to motivate me more! My goal is to lose 30 pounds by the time we go to Florida in august or at least feel comfortable to get into a bathing suit! Wish me luck!

Another Update

Things have been really busy and crazy these past couple days and i haven't had time to update my blog. I want to start out by delivering some very long awaited news, Ryan got his CDL last friday and got his diploma on monday. Today he went to the dmv and got his tanker endorsment so he can begin looking for a job. Although he doesn't have his federal yet that means he can stay here in the state of Georgia. I dont know if i should call myself selfish for saying this but i really am glad that he is going to be able to get him a local job and doesn't have to go over the road. Maybe this will be he start to better things for us and now its my turn to further my education but i can't do it in three weeks like him. I haven't been feeling to well lately and Ryan just got over being sick and now i think im coming down with it too. I really hope not i hate it when i get sick because when i do it hits me hard. Hope i get to feeling better soon and for now im going to sign off and try to do some reading and get some rest.

Hope your having a great week.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!!

Last night me and ryan celebrated our valentines day in fear of the roads being to bad here to drive on and of course today they were fine but things were still good last night. We started off the night planning to go to outback for a nice dinner but were disappointed when they told us they didn't have our reservation i made two weeks ahead of time and it was a 2 hour wait to get in so we wound up at ihop instead but it was still a nice dinner. Afterwards we went to petsmart and target while waiting for our 9:55 movie and picked up a few things. After that we were off to the movies to see When In Rome and i must say it was a really funny movie. I think i probably could of waited until it came out on DVD but it was still a good movie and we both enjoyed our night :)


On another positive note i fount my camera charger so there will be better pictures coming soon : )


How are you spending your valentines day??

We Are People Who Dont Like To Wait!

I want to start off by first saying how hard it is to go shopping for your husband for valentines day! I always knew what to buy Ryan but this year i was drawing a blank. I walked all through the mall in and out of stores and just couldn't find anything until i saw it, The Sunglass Hut. Then it hit me, Ryan had a pair of Oakley sunglasses when we first met and he had them for about 2 years before he lost them and never bought another pair. Well lately he had been talking about wanting another pair but never followed through with anything so i took this opportunity to get them for him. Now to tell you the meaning behind the title, when me and ryan buy each other gifts we dont like to wait to give them to the other one. Im suprised at how well we did at christmas. So a week early we exchanged our gifts for Valentines Day and im in LOVE with mine : )

He got me this watch and bracelet set : )

and he got his Oakley sunglasses : )

Day To Day Wears Thanks To Polyvore : )

I fount this site through Live.Laugh.Love and now im addicted to it as well. My first one i did is what im wearing today which outside of the shirt is everyday. Im a casual type of person who loves jeans and flats!

 

Whats your style?

My TJ Maxx Find and New Hair!

I have been having serious tj maxx withdraws from not going for a while and i finally went today in search of a new purse. I looked on the juicy couture website and was planning on buying one from there if i came up empty handed at tj maxx. Boy it was my lucky day! I walked in and they had a display set up of Juicy Purses! I know alot of other tj maxx's get them regularly but for this one its a rare occasion. So i took the chance and bought this beauty and im in love : )

(sorry for the horrible picture quality i used my phone)

To go with my cute new purse i fount this adorable hard case wallet at a bag store in the mall while we were shoe shopping for ryan (i will never go shoe shopping with my husband again hes worse than a girl!)

I also picked up this adorable duffle bag for my little sister for her 14th birthday for only $10! I love a good bargain find and i got 50% off my wallet since i bought the duffle bag   : )

 

Finally, What im sure everyone has been waiting for is my hair cut..... well here you go : )

 

Once again sorry for the bad pictures i only had my phone with me today!

Time For A Big Change.

I have really put a lot of thought into this before i decided to go through with it. Im going to cut a good bit of my hair off. I wish i had enough to donate to the locks of love but i dont think i will have enough with how much im wanting to cut off. Dont get my wrong i love my long hair but its just getting to be to much to handle and when it gets to a certain length i can't do anything with it. I have researched alot of hair styles and i finally fount one i really like but i want some opinions first if it would look right on me or not. I really need some help on this one ladies!

 

i had a hair style like this a few years ago just not exactly like it so we will see how it goes.

and just for fun here is one with my pink/purple highlights
