Random Things I Adore.

You know those things you just have to have, can't live without or the world might stop spinning.  Well I lost one of those things today, my planner.  I'm the most scatterbrained adult I know.  I seriously don't know which way is up the majority of the time.  While I was making an appointment for my office this morning, I went to pull out my planner, well low and behold the thing grew legs and had walked away.  I still have yet to locate the runaway, but I am searching high and low for it.  With that being said, it made me start thinking about the things in my life I absolutely love and would prefer not to live without.  Here are mine - in no particular order, sans said runaway planner.

Victoria Secret Pink Fresh & Clean.  I recently found my bottle and now remember why I was slightly overly obsessed with it.  I seriously could not stop smelling myself yesterday, I even spritzed some before bed, no lie.

 

Be it no surprise I am a diet coke addict.  One every morning, one for lunch, and one as an afternoon pick me up.  I was more than delighted they were buy 2-12pks get 2 free this week at Safeway.  I have 48 cans of diet coke, 24 in my fridge as we speak.

Lets talk toothpaste for a minute.  I may be one of the few who has serious issues with the taste of the stuff.  For years I would only use one kind, no matter what.  Everything else made me gag to the high heavens.  While having a little sleep over at someones house, I was not prepared with my own and had to use some of this stuff.  A picture of the look on my face prior to it even going in my mouth should have been taken but one was not.  My face probably looked like this

Well too my taste buds surprise, this stuff is AMAZING.  I loved it.  I should have ran right out and got some that same day, but I kindly used the stuff I had until I ran out.  Thankfully said person was nice enough to help me find the correct one while I was at Walmart, and also thinks I am a complete weirdo.

Who doesn't love buffalo sauce?  Seriously I could put this stuff on everything, I kid, but a lot of things IMHO could use more buffalo.

Yoga pants.  One of the first things I do when I get home is put on yoga pants, no matter the day.   I own enough to wear a new pair every day of the week and find them they most comfortable items of clothing EVER created.

Revlon Lipgloss in Pink Whisper

It happens to be the perfect shade of pink for my skin tone, last for a good amount of time, and keeps it's glossy look.  Plus if I lose it, I don't have that I just lost $20 feeling.  

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Monday.  I promise an actual post soon, none of these pictures shenanigans.

What is the deal with Fridays? Ever since I started working a normal job, ya know that 9:30-5:30 with an hour lunch shebang, Fridays are a love hate relationship.  By the way I LOVE my job, so lets not even start rumbling our little brains that I am once again complaining - I am not.

Let's put the "F" day into perspective

When I wake up late because I am exhausted from work, look in the mirror

I have shown up everyday for the past 4 days.  On the 5th day you expect me to work...

You Crazy

Oh, you're serious...

Shit... there isn't a little bit of joke in that...

Breath in.....Breath out...Repeat

When a coworker asks if I am excited that it is Friday

Fridays are also spent doing this

When 5:30pm rolls around I'm all

around my office

When Gigi & I are on the way home in the car

What I plan on doing Friday after work

What I really come home and do.

Happy Friday ya'll!

Wordless Wednesdays

Random thoughts

I really have a ton of things I want to do this week.  I can already see that most are just not going to happen.  We had a little morning hiccup - what I thought was a flat tire.  Now let me start by saying I am pretty self sufficient, meaning I can do most manly things, without the man.  Tires are not one of those things and I don't even have a spare, not even one of those donuts thingys.   After air was put in the tire - I was on my merry way to work, arriving fashionably late by an hour.  Thank goodness my boss loves me or I can guarantee I would be without a job.  After discussing this mornings woes with a coworker I was told, tires loose a lot of air the first time it gets chilly outside.  So being the last time I put air in my tires being a looonng looongg time ago, I probably needed air anyway and the temperature drop last night just pushed them over the edge.  

Why isn't this common knowledge?

I really want to paint my nails and give myself a little manicure.

I have so many chores around the house I want need to get done - like wash my kitchen floor.

This post has absolutely no point.  I'm ok with that,  I have been a bit under the weather today.  I don't know if I am getting a cold or the drastic weather change but I have been freezing all.day.long.

Have a great evening ladies.

Weekend Recap.

My weekends tend to be pretty lame.  I normally don't plan anything, since I'm ballin' on a massive budget lately, so this may not be that entertaining.

Friday:

My work day could not have gone any slower.  We were joking in my office, on Friday's we just wait for the day to end, which like watching water boil.  That night Genevieve and I stayed home, watched Tangled and took it easy.  

Saturday:

I had promised this cool kid

For the record he lost to a 10 year old

I would bring him to the airport at 6:30am.

I was rudely awoken by my insanely loud ringtone.  In a haze I answered, I was greeted with "WHERE ARE YOU?"  I quickly glanced at my phone realizing it was 6:19am, and replied "Getting ready to walk out the door."  

Epic friend fail.  I did manage to get me and G out of the house in a record time of 10 minutes, minus the fact we went in our PJ's, and Blake did not miss his 8:30am flight.  

G usually goes to her Dad's on Sundays for a few hours but this week she went on Saturday.  

Normally I run at the chance to get everything done that is much easier to do without a child.  Instead I laid in bed, watched half a season of Friends with Benefits (which is pretty funny), and took a nap.  So much for that pristine opportunity to get all my errands done.  Wait, I did make Cuban black beans and rice that afternoon too.  How could I forget?  It was so good!

Around 4pm, I picked up G and we vegged devouring all of my wonderful black bean masterpiece.

Sunday:

Sunday Funday? Uh no.  Sunday=Laundry day in this house.  

I did a countless amount of laundry, more than usual, I'm not sure why either? hmm.

I played Betty Crocker again and made an amazing chicken noodle soup.

It was a gorgeous day outside and I really wanted to take G to the park, so I made her a deal after lunch.  You take a nap and than we'll go to the park.  Stubborn just like her mother she refused a nap until 4pm.  I was cursing myself saying next time we go to the park thannnn she takes a nap.  

While she leisurely napped in the late afternoon(I'm still bitter about that) I watched one of the saddest movies known to man, A little bit of heaven.  This little number had be crying 25 minutes in.  I did not stop until 5 minutes after the movie credits were done.  It was a great movie but I will never be watching it again, my eyes are hurting bad and puffy today from all those tears shed.

Sunday night, we mosey'd over to G's babysitters and had dinner.

I believe I over did this weekend recap, such is life my friends.  I am either overly vague or way too informative.

Parental Fail

The other day in the car this conversation took place

Me: Shit

Genevieve: Shit

Me: No shhhh, mommy said shhhh

Genevieve: I don't think so!

The fact my daughter already calls me out on things only makes more afraid of what is to come.

For your information, my daughter has not repeated the word since.  

Friday Favorites

Favorite Show

Why didn't anyone tell me this show was HYSTERICAL?  Oh that's right they did, and I snobbishly would reply "Oh, I don't like musicals, it's stupid."  Lesson learned - don't knock a TV show until you have watched it.  The past seasons are on Instant Netflix if anyone is interested.

Favorite Public Moment

I may or may not have started a massive election debate on Facebook but I am more excited about not seeing another presidential commercial for 4 years.

Favorite Mommy/Daughter Moment

When Genevieve and I were watching The Little Engine That Could, and she just snuggled up next to me and fell asleep, snoring, drooling, and all.
