Linking up with one of my favorite bloggers, Brooks, today for my Bump it List! Don’t know what a bump it list is? It is a list of things that you will never, ever do.
1. Skydive, bungee jump or other scary heights shit. I like the ground, thanks! And my life….
2. Get a tattoo on my face. I like tattoos. I have one on my upper shoulder blade. No judging. I just don’t want one on my face!
3. Smoke – Smoking is a disgusting habit. It stinks, it gives you old skin, it gives you mouth problems, it ages you faster and umm well…IT GIVES YOU CANCER! Why in the world anyone chooses to start smoking is beyond me. DON’T BE HER:
4. Drugs – I won’t do them. Nope. I am not one to give in to peer pressure. Never have been, never will be.
5. Drive a mini van. Just no! Never ever.
6. Eat disgusting things, like the crap they eat on survivor and those other weird shows.
7. Scuba or deep sea dive. For one, I am not a good swimmer. Two, sharks. Need I say more?
8. Get a large hole ear piercing. I just can’t look at them…they make my hears hurt and my stomach turn.
If you haven’t jumped on the confession band wagon, I don’t know what you are doing with your life?! I seriously love to get this all out in the open and then go about my day waiting on comments for you all to tell me that I am in fact not crazy because you feel the same way!
–I really do! Also, when I was in second grade and my mom and I were working on my spelling list for the week…I was having trouble with the word “special.” So my mom said it in a certain way so that I would remember, putting emphasis on certain letters. So anytime I write it…I do it in my head just like my mom taught me. S-p-E-C-i-A-l. Also, I can’t spell the work aggressive without cheering it.
Be aggressive
B-E aggressive
B-E – A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E
Aggressive
Be aggressive!
— I do not have a green thumb. I really want to have a green thumb. I am jealous of all you bitches that are naturally awesome at all of the things, this includes gardening. One of our goals this year is to get our yard looking awesome. I also have really wanted to start a little garden of my own. This has been on my mind the last few years. I think this year I am finally going to do it. Wish me luck and pray my stuff doesn’t die!
If you have any gardening tips…please share the wealth!
— You know that Lent commitment to stop diet soda for 40 days? LOL. That’s all I have to say about that.
Seriously though, spare me the lecture. I know that shit is HORRIBLE for our bodies and blah blah blah. I am trying. Really, I am. The thing is, I never really noticed a difference when I cut it out other than wanting to punch people in the face every time I heard a can open and a drink fizz. I decided if I am out at a restaurant and I just really really want one….then I am going to order one. Moderation, bitches.
–I seriously ponder this all of the time.
–The only thing getting me this week is lunch with my “lunch club” Friday afternoon and Mexican Friday night with my sister in law! Come on Friday. come on Friday!!!!
I am calling you all fools because it is April Fools day after all!
I am going to link up with Alyssa today for the Ten on Tuesday because I have A LOT of random shit to discuss.
1. How I Met Your Mother – SPOILET ALERT If you haven’s seen the finale and you want to, and don’t want me to ruin it for you…or you just don’t give a shit about the show…then just move on to number 2. No bitching to me about spoiling it, I gave fair warning fools!!! But like seriously?!?!?! I cried of course because I cry about everything. I had so many emotions. It is the end of an era. I have been watching that show FOREVER. I had so many years invested in it. It is hard to just say good bye. But also I was emotional because the mother is dead? WTF. My husband has been saying for years that Ted and Robin were going to end up together. While she wasn’t the mother, he totally called it! What pisses me off though is that over the years the friends grew apart and that is just sad. Also, the name of the show is How I Met Your Mother, yet they talked about everything but the entire time. Joke is on us, I suppose. Whatever, I still loved it and sad to see it go.
2. April Wallet Watch – I am going to play along with Stephanie’s games. Haha 🙂 Chris has created a budget for us to stick to this month so that we can start putting money away in savings on a monthly basis. We will stick to the budget this month and I will link up with Stephanie to report that we kicked it’s ass. Hopefully.
3. Fitness – I have finally reached my last week of T25 Beta. It has been a good go the last two months. I have hit every single work out, except for a half of one last Thursday when my upper back/shoulder pain wouldn’t allow me to continue..but I still moved for 25 minutes so whatever! I have noticed great improvement in my legs and I can handle cardio for longer amounts of time. However, I have not lost a single pound and after evaluating this weekend I have decided to move onto something different and not go on with the gamma round of T25. It is only 4 weeks anyways instead of the 5 that were part of Alpha and Beta. I am either going to do P90X30 or Jillian Michael’s 6 Week 6 Pack. I am also going to clean up my eating even more.
4. Weather – Apparently spring is a thing and it has come back this week. With temps predicted to be in the 70’s through Friday, I am not going to complain!
5. Gold Bond Hand Cream – This stuff is the shiz! Go get you some!
6. Whole 30 – Toying with the idea of doing the Whole 30 challenge. If you are following me on Pinterest, and you should be!!!! then you know that I have been pinning some information and recipes for it. Anyone done it or thinking about doing it? Basically you eat whole, clean food for 30 days.
7. #1800 Minute Challenge starts today! I already have 30 minutes logged. Boom bitches!
8. Beach – I need a beach trip ASAP. Just a thought…
9. Sally Hansen Triple Strong – I have been putting this on my nails once a week for the last two weeks. My nails are super strong and growing rapidly. Do it!
Friday – Friday evening was a low key. When I got home from work, I straightened up a little bit around the house and waited for Chris to get home. We hung out on our front porch for a little while and talked while he smoked a cigar, then headed to Mexican for dinner. Yum! After dinner we stopped by his parents house for a few minutes then came home and crashed.
Saturday – I dropped my car off to get the oil changed, and met up with my mom and sister for a day of birthday shopping celebrations! (My sister’s bday was Thursday.)
We started off at Target, then hit up TJ Maxx. After that we went to The Pinnacle and shopped at half the stores there.
I scored these shoes on clearance at Belk. They were on clearance for $51 then they were an additional 40% off!!!! I love a good deal! Basically $90 shoes for $30.
The boys were getting hungry and I needed to get my car before they closed so we took a little break from shopping and grabbed lunch at Jim n Nicks. I got the turkey breast lunch plate that came with a side salad. It was delish! So good and stayed healthy 🙂 I was REALLY tempted to get the BBQ potato but I knew I would feel gross the rest of the day!
After lunch we headed back up to the Pinnacle to finish up shopping there. Cooper was fed and happy and decided to crash. Apparently he can’t hang!
Tracy had to leave at that point, so we parted ways with her and my mom and I continued on! We went to Jade and The Spotted Zebra, two super cute boutiques in Trussville…then we decided to head to the outlets!!! I really wanted to go to Loft and Old Navy. Old Navy was a HUGE disappointment! They had a lot of the dresses I had been scouting out online, but in person they weren’t as cute and they all fit HORRIBLY! I can always count on finding stuff at Loft though. The entire store was 40% off! YES! I scored a pair of cropped jeans, a black and white striped tank top with the cutest scoop neck ever and a purple 3/4 length cardigan for transitioning into spring. Also not picture before is a necklace.
My mom and I parted ways soon after the outlets, and I picked up some beer and snacks and headed home. Chris invited his friend Joe over and streamed the Ultra music festival live on our projector in the basement. It was awesome!!! Deadmau5 killed it!!
Sunday – I made a yummy breakfast of biscuits, turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs with feta cheese and turkey sausage.
I did our meal planning and grocery shopping then the rest of the day looked like this:
We watched The Wolf of Wall Street. It was three hours long, but I really enjoyed the movie. Afterwards, we tried out our Disney Golf Game. I suck at golf in real life….and in pretend Disney life too! Whatever, I can kick your ass at Mario Kart!!
And then just like that, the weekend was over and it is time to go back to reality!
Can you believe that it is the last Friday of March?! This month and well, year really, has just flying by!
1. Jane.com – I ordered two scarves on Jane.com two weeks ago for less than $20. They are both SUPER cute in person and were delivered quicker than expected. If you aren’t checking this site out daily, I don’t really know why not? Actually, wait until I check it out first every day. Don’t take all the good stuff! (The coral is part of the black and white scarf…it is hard to tell in the picture!)
2. Reading- I took a week off after I finished the last book in the Harry Potter series. I have a hard time changing gears once I finish a book! I got caught up with a LOT of magazine reading and then started a new book. My mom got me the newer Nicholas Sparks book for Christmas, The Longest Ride. You guys…he gets me every damn time with his love stories!!! I have read nearly every one of his books. I started reading this book at lunch on Tuesday. I usually only have time to read at lunch and I am already on page 100! I just love it! It makes my sappy heart smile real big =)
3. Hair Care – I stopped by TJ Maxx last night to see if they had any color care products. They did not. Soooo off to Target I went. They are offering $5 off a hair care purchase of $15 or more through tomorrow! Score!!! I got this HUGE ass bottle for $11!!!!! I haven’t tried Nexus before, I usually go for Paul Mitchell or Biolage so I thought I would try something new.
4. Loft – They have 40% off EVERYTHING today!!! Check out these items I am totally loving!
5. E-Card/Shopping – Yesterday I dedicated a post to my sister in honor of her birthday. This weekend my mom and I are supposed to take her shopping and out to lunch! I can’t wait!! What would one of my Friday post’s be without an ecard lately? Nothing burgers. That is what!
