Happy Father's Day!

Life Updates (Summer 2013) !!

Hello Family- yes that means you, whoever is reading this!! I have been away much longer than I had planned. And I will explain all...

Well what had happened was- I got lazy, and busy, plain and simple. I started school and just got a flurry of work, work, school, school, and I just devoted all of my time and energy into Grad School ( I know, how dare I? lol) I moved in March, seriously still haven't unpacked everything. After the Reggae Fest I started working again, but not feeling my best. I love Spring but my allergies don't. I got a sinus infection so being vertical was not happening. And I dove into school hard. Taking 5 classes in 4 months was much harder than I thought. I hit a wall and just had to take a break, with summer approaching I have taken a little break and have finally let myself relax and breathe a little by having a social life! Food, movies, bowling, and cooking with the girls has really helped me chill out. I have family birthdays throughout the summer, and then the parent's wedding anniversary and my birthday in September so I am ready to start enjoying this humid weather.
Maybe the girls will be up for a road trip to Austin or San Antonio?? I hope so!!


So I hope that you all out there are gearing up for a summer full of sun, food, friends, and good times P:

Be safe out there :)

When You Plan A Date, Please Don't.....

OMG Guys. THIS is why I'm still single. Let's just get right into it. So I had 2 planned dates. On this past Thursday and one yesterday. I was supposed to meet #1 at a local sports bar to watch the NBA Finals. I  asked him to meet me there at 7:30. I also said I would wait 15 minutes but would then leave. I gave him my phone number in case he got lost. Anyway long story short, he was a no-show - I. KNOW. Instead of leaving, I invited other friends and we had a great time watching the game, so it worked out. Since I didn't have his number yet, and was quite inebriated, I wrote him an email letting him know I didn't appreciate him not showing. The answer I got was" I tried to call you but there was no answer." Really? Have you not heard of a text, or a voice mail, or heaven forbid, keep calling? I'm sorry my phone isn't attached to my ear all day. But after stewing and moving on, I really think he got scared- ye,s I said it. He wasn't ready to start a relationship and in insecure. I promise honesty will save people time and effort and now he has lost both from me. So yesterday I had a lunch and movie date with #2. We had planned on seeing Fast and the Furious 6, then going to lunch. SO after getting cute(!) I arrives at the theater, just to sit and wait for 15 minutes. At the correct time I text him to let him know I was going into the theater. I receive  his text "I'm on my way." I'm sorry but the movie won't wait for you, and neither will I. So the movie has already started and then he calls me to say he's finally there. 25 minutes later. ARE YOU SERIOUS? You might as well go back home! And sitting next to me, I fumed through the entire movie. Here's the kicker guys- he smelled. FUNKY. Like he hadn't showered. EWWWW.  So when the movie was over, I thanks him for coming and said I'd take a rain check on lunch. We said our goodbye's without any physical contact and I think he got the hint. I met my friend for lunch and that was that. So here is what I learned in my 3 short days of dating that I think will help guys for dating. If you want to have a good time and keep the girl happy, please follow these rules.

Rule #1- Be honest.
Rule #2 Be confident in who you are.
Rule #3 BE ON TIME- or really early would be great!
Rule #4 SHOWER!!! Especially in the summer. Add cologne if you want :)
Rule #5 Be prepared to pay even if she decides to bring her own money!

So here's to another try and please try to remember that it's supposed to be fun!!
See you guys around. Much love!!

Memorial Day

My cousin who lives in Florida came to town and his cute kiddos talked my ears off :) With two boys and a girl he definitely has his hands full. But decorations, a pool and a grill pretty much always equals a good time,right? What wasn't good was the temperature. I think anything over 80 degrees is punishment. 

Yeah I actually made plans and was social this year. Hey if you know me, that's a big step. Fast forward to Memorial Day...My friend had a cookout at her house. It was actually fun!! I am the master at Taboo, I'm just sayin. We played board games and ate, watched t.v. and ate, talked and ate. Did I mention I ate? 



And I know that the real reason for Memorial Day is to celebrate our armed forces, don't get me wrong. I come from a military family. My grandfather was in the army. My sister was a Marine. I have an uncle who was in the Army. So I definitely appreciate them. For a second I thought about joining but there were 2 things that held me back. One I don't run, and two, I don't like yelling so yeah, that rules me out. But I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and a special shout out if you were or are in the military. Bonus points if you're male and single :)

Happy Belated Mother's Day to everyone- and My Ode to my sister

I know, I know I am waaaay late, but you will find out why. Anyway I just wanted to share with you all what I did for my Mother on her special day, which turned into her special week but I didn't mind one bit.

It's very hard to buy presents for my mom. She is the poster child for ADD. I took her to a store   ( that rhymes with Whennie's) and told her to pick out 3 things she liked. She started with white jeans, then wanted a tan purse, then jewelry,then shoes. 

Needless to say we left that first store with nothing. I took her to three stores with no luck. But alas, we ended up going to trusty Old Navy where she found a cute dress for 10 bucks, a coral blouse, and 2 sets of earrings. The total was 55 bucks, and she was so happy, which made me happy. I then treated her to ice cream which pretty much made her day- as we try to eat healthy. The next day (Sunday) my parents went to church and brunch. After all the festivities, she was pretty tired. The entire rest of week I caught her on the phone telling whomever what she got for Mother's Day. The following Saturday we went out to eat for lunch. She has a favorite Chinese place that is dangerously only about 5 minutes from where we live. So I took her and when the bill came I paid for it and she was so surprised and happy. Simply made me feel like I'd bought her a car or something. Anyway, she had a great time and that's all that mattered to me. BOOM!

I know my sister will probably never read this but I have to tell you I have the best older sister in the world.  Being only 2 years and some change older she took on the role pretty serious starting when I entered junior high. Like to the point where she threatened to spank me a few times. I look up to her so much and she and I are like PB&J to this day. No lie. So every time there is a chance I embarrass her on Facebook as payback but I seriously love that girl and will probably go to jail sometime because of her. But I love her and we act 10 years when we get together. So sissy, I love you and can't wait to see you in August!!!!


I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. Whether you have one, are one, or know a great one.

Sending you glittery sprinkles!!
