Absolutely Double Not

Absolutely Double Not

Sorry it’s been awhile.  I’ve been in a little bit of a funk the past few days, but I have officially decided that funk or not, I will post every single day.  Now it may not be a long post, but something is better than nothing. :)

 

Today will be a short post, but I promise I’ll make a longer one tomorrow! :)

 

Things I’ve Learned This Week:

 

1. Finally buckling down and buying a fan after months of sleeping in a room with zero air flow… aka: sweating my butt off every night… was the best idea in the world!!  Thanks for making me do it mom! :)

 

 

2. Going to buy the fan right at the beginning of a monsoon?  Not so great of an idea.

 

I literally got SOAKED. And my eyes bug out a lot more than I thought they did...

 

3. Getting over a heinous cold?  Don’t waste your money on Mucinex or Sudafed.  Go for a run outside because it will shake up EVERYTHING in your chest.  I have been hacking up a lung for about 3 hours now.  The run was GREAT though!!  I ran through Pertle Springs, which is a BEAUTIFUL park in Warrensburg, but I forgot to take pictures.  Well… leave it to google images to pull up this picture…

 

This is Pertle Springs in 1924. This picture officially creeps me out. Someone could write a whole scary movie script off of this one picture. I am going to have bad dreams tonight.

 

4. I have a new found love for frozen margaritas.  Are they good for me?  Absolutely not.  Do I care?  Absolutely double not.

 

Strawberry... :)

 

5. I cannot WAIT to get home for break and take these guys to Castlewood Park for my birthday.  No going out this year.  Last year was fun and all, but the three of us have already conjured up a pretty sweet birthday night that sounds much better than the bars. We’re going to hike at Castlewood for a few hours and then go over the beach on the riverfront and grill out for dinner, skip stones in the water, roast marshmallows and make s’mores!

 

The boys at Castlewood a few weeks ago! :)

 

Well, that’s all for now!  Time to get ready and head out to see some friends, and then get sleep because it’s going to be a busy girls day tomorrow!  Hilliary, Karley and I are heading to Lee’s Summit for a little window shopping, lunch and maybe a trip to the new cupcake shop!  I’m not a fan of cupcakes at all because I really don’t like icing (it’s a weird complex having to do with my pure hatred for whipped cream.  The only icing I like is on my mom’s birthday cakes she makes), but it will be fun to go nonetheless!  Hope you’ve had a great week. :)

Odd, But Kind Of Beautiful

Odd, But Kind Of Beautiful

Well hello and happy Friday!!  It’s been such a great Friday around these parts! :)

 

Why, you ask? Well, by all means, let me tell you.

 

1. I totally aced my Family Policy midterm this morning.  And I totally got really excited and danced around my room for about five minutes after seeing my grade.

 

 

2. I found a brand spankin’ new package of Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice Coffee in my pantry that I had forgotten about, so I cracked it open and drank an entire pot while I chatted with my momma on the phone. :)

 

Love. Of. My. Life.

 

3. I got to watch the weather go from cloudy, to raining, to snowing, to sunny all in a matter of an hour.  It was odd, but kind of beautiful at the same time.

 

It definitely wasn't pretty like this though :)

 

4. I opted out of the gym today and tried an at home workout that was pretty kick a$$ if I do say so myself.  I started with the Insanity Max Interval Plyometrics Workout  and then finished up with The Figure Method Workout that I found on Pinterest.  It’s a ballet based workout to build muscle and lean out your legs. Overall?  A great workout! :)

This is the Hotty McHotty Pants that does the Insanity workouts. Yep. :)

 

5.  I haven’t drank any diet soda today!  Yahoo!!!  I say this with a forced smile though because it’s been really hard.  I didn’t realize just how much my brain depended on the caffeine.  Looks like there is going to be A LOT of coffee in my future.  I bought a few Vitamin Water Zero’s earlier tonight though, and they are surprisingly REALLY GOOD.  I think that given a few more days, the caffeine cravings should diminish (I hope).

 

6. After finishing up my homework for the week, I decided to have a night in tonight and ran to Hastings to rent a few movies!  :)

 

 

And…

 

Super creepy looking.

 

 

Time to snuggle up with some popcorn and a blanket!! :)

 

Hope you have a GREAT Friday night.
