Oh, the Fabulous Life Of....

ME!

I am only working until 10:30 this morning! I've rearranged my schedule for the summer to work full days M-W, then be off at 10:30 on Thursdays then off on Fridays (as usual)!

Ahhhhhhh!

Are you jealous?

My new fave!

I'm in love with these fabulous metallic flats from none other than Target for about $18!!!! Seriously thinking of getting more colors - they have black, which is a given, but also an avacado green, tortoise and hot pink that are very tempting!

So, normally, I can't wear such cute and trendy shoes due to the fatness of my foot. I have wide feet and chubby toes. Really, they look like chicken nuggets. The one good thing I have going for me is that I have even toes - not that middle toe that is longer than all the rest! I know it's not something that can be helped, but it can be hidden! I'm not a fan of feet. I like for mine to look nice, but I really have some issues with people touching them - even pedicures. I have to read a magazine and completely ignore the fact that someone is rubbing all over my feet! YUCK!

So, these shoes are perfect for my fat foot.....the top isn't too "dainty" that it accentuates my fatness, it just makes them look cute - well, I think it does, and since I am not posting a picture of my fat foot in these adorable sandals, you will never know if the fatness accentuation is true.

Now, I'm sure I'm going to have some of you snooping around to get a peek at the fat foot, but really, you have better things to do I'm sure.

I love these shoes so much, I'm acutally planning my outfits around them! I feel like I'm in college again - when I would buy the shoes first then find the clothes to go with them!!! Oh, the glory days of fashion. These days, I'm more concerned if it fits - so basically wearing a version of the same outfit everyday! Black pants, simple shirt, and basic black shoes....well, not anymore! I'm back... I'm reclaiming my sense of style and am branching out into the world of color once again! YAY!

Hurry, time is running out!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Brother

Ok, so he's not a baby, he's 27 today! He's all grown up now which makes me older - still not 30 (yet), but older still the same!

He and his girlfriend are coming over for a very low key dinner and some red velvet cake - which I just found out he liked!!! He's never had the sweet tooth - but I got it honest from my mom! He usually was happy with peanut butter and doritos - yes the whole jar or bag and you never saw the results of it on him - but I could look at it and I could pop a button off my pants! Not fair, but I still love him!

After work, I guess it's off to the store for some red velvet cake mix and cream cheese icing (store bought since I don't have time to make it from scratch) so Little Hauss and I can whip up some cupcakes for him!

Happy Birthday!!!

It's only money....

I'm seriously considering paying the $45 to reschedule my test. It is scheduled for this Saturday and I don't feel comfortable with it AT ALL. I'm weighing my options.

Original Test Fee - $130 (non refundable and way past the partial refund date)
Reschedule for July 25- $45

OR

Take test this Saturday and schedule to take it again on July 25 - $80

Seriously I feel sick to my stomach.....I bet I've got an ulcer forming in there as we speak!

Monday Madness!

Well, I was all gung ho about walking during my lunch break and getting in some much needed exercise, but who turned up the heat? Whoa! Then it was mentioned to me to use the dusty treadmill in our back room instead of huffing it outside....smart girl that one!

So, I changed and got on the treadmill (it even has a built in fan) and started walking, staring at the wall because I was not prepared for this. If I had thought ahead, I would have stolen a gossip mag from the bathroom stash before Hubby realized it was missing so I could keep myself entertained and brought my mp3 player. Well, didn't really matter anyway, because 1/2 mile into it I moved that clip thing that was attached to the emergency safety stop thing and it cut off! I tried for about 2-3 minutes to get the dang thing turned back on, but to no avail.....so, I decided to trek it outside for a while to finish what I started. NOT AGAIN!

Reasons why I won't be walking during lunch:

I have to change
I sweat - A LOT
It's too hot
I have to change back into work clothes
I sweat - A LOT
My hair "curls" or whatever you want to call it
and I sweat - A LOT

I've been back inside for about 30 minutes or more and my head is still sweaty....hair all yuckified - not pretty! So, from now on, if I can't get the treadmill to turn on, then I guess I'll just have to walk at night.

Oh, and I had left over salmon for lunch....at least the stinch of fish covered up my workout stink....I'm sure the girls would tell me if I was too foul - because if not, then they just aren't as good of friends as I thought!

Rested Up

I spent a wonderful relaxing weekend Little Hauss and Hubby free in Raleigh and it was fantastic. I drove down to my MiniSoda's house on late Friday afternoon and enjyoed a kid free dinner with my new fave, Bud Lite Lime, then chatting it up until we were pooped! I slept in on Saturday morning untila bout 7:45, and yes, that is extremely late for me! We enjoyed some coffee (that her sweet Hubby made for us) and headed out for an early lunch at another fave, Moe's, before heading to our afternoon at the Spa!
We enjoyed a mini facial, pedicures, and manicures (which were ok - but the point was to be refreshed and relaxed, and my nail girl was all but that - high strung, off the wall and a chatterbox - which I usually could hold my own with! I think I've decided to go just stick with the run of the mill nail salons with asian speaking employees -first of all, they don't try to talk TO you, just about you and its way cheaper for the same service!) before heading to Swoozie's (an adorable stationary and gift shop) and Target for some shopping. I got a great gift for my MIL for her upcoming birthday later this month and then few things for Little Hauss and myself. I am in LOVE with these and will definitely be going back for more colors! Little Hauss racked up with some new t-shirts and some dollar bin toys - doesn't take much to get him excited!

I got home yesterday early enough to spend some time poolside and then enjoyed a cat nap on the couch before the grocery store run!

Now, back to the work thing and looking forward to meeting a new little baby boy tonight who was born last weekend!!! Can't wait!
