Pictures Coming Soon.......

.....but until then.... here is a little something to ease your anxious anticipation....

I bought this little guy at Giant Eagle for a whopping $2.99. 


I wish I had pictures NOW, to go with my recap of my Saturday, but unfortunately, I forgot my camera for the entire day... I know, right... typical novice blogger move. But furthermore, when I did have my camera later that night, I was too focused on starting the disposable charcoal grill and cooking hot dogs, so I didn't take ANY pictures... except for the one above and this one....

Jackie, Lydia and Annie

I spent the whole day and night Saturday with these girls, and I love every minute of it. So once they all blog about it, I will steal all their pictures and do a quick recap of our day that included, Short North shopping, dining and drinking.... so yes, please stay tuned :) I promise I will keep my rambling to a minimum and just post lots of pictures of my pretty friends. 

Oh, here are some already! Thanks Lydia!

I have very few friends, so when I get a whole day to spend with them, I'm on cloud 9.

It's a short week!

Fun Night, Good Blogger!

Guys. I went to a corner bar last night with my roommate and her BFF. We had fun, drank some brews, ate some pizza and I took (are you ready for this....) PICTURES!!!


It was a huge debate in my mind on what to blog about this morning, so huge in fact, that I woke up way too early this morning just so I could blog before the day started** I have a bajillion and one pictures from the immaculate transformation of our back patio and at least seven pictures (maybe eight) from last night's adventure......the stresses of being a good blogger are really taking a toll on this girl....just kidding! I love it... so without further rambling nonsense, (and before I change my mind, again, on what to blog about)... here is my Friday night... in pictures.... and maybe a few descriptions or quotes.... only if you're lucky...


On our walk to the bar, we saw the cutest little bunny.... 

he was frightened by me, Nick, I mean Annie.


My dates for the evening...

What a lovely smile from Nick (my roommates boyfriend - if I've never pointed that out. Have I?) Anyway.... an additional photo was requested, and a smile was ordered....

First round of beers....it was a push to get in a few drinks before happy hour ended...

because I'm not that much of a drinker....or beer lover...

...except when half price Magic Hats are involved.... or when I need to drown my sorrows away about the current state of my life.... hehe, just kiddinggggg? 


And here comes the infamous Friday $5 1 topping pizza...

Harrison's on Third.... you keep me sane.

Annie and Nick.... you are the reason I have a social life :)


But seriously... any Columbus, OH people out there... Harrison's on Third is such a cool little hang out, neighborhood bar with awesome Happy Hours and good food. 


Alright, off to run and do a few minor adjustments to the patio before I spend my day with some crazy, blog-obsessed gal pals of mine... lovee.


Happy 3 Day Weekend,

No Dessert???

I recently had a conversation with my mom about losing a few pounds.... no crazy diets.... just getting back into being comfortable in jeans. I asked her how she does it... and she said that she cuts out all desserts.


Excuse me? Cut out desserts? 


No thanks..... I'll go to spinning class 3 times a day before I give this stuff up....

Self Serve frozen yogurt from Orange Leaf.... need I say more......nope!


...but I'm going to!


but just a picture of my roommate this crazy girl I live with who takes pictures of her food....

(she blogs).... too. hehe


Praying 5:00 tomorrow comes FAST!!!

Just So-SO

Holy Toledo, I have been off for the past couple weeks. Nothing in particular, just... you know... in a mood. And it probably didn't help the situation that I was at work for 8 hours today and barely did an hours' worth of work....saying I was bored out of my mind is the understatement of the year. 


But since I'm attempting to start this whole "I love who I am, and how I look and I'm going to be positive about my life" way of thinking, here are two pictures that I snapped today. Enjoy!

Stay safe,

A Little Perk...

I'm making this short, not because I'm blogging at work and I don't want to get caught, but because I really have nothing funny or remarkable to say... or pictures even for that matter.... so moving forward...

I got this e-mail from my bestest friend in the entire world this morning at work: (she always seems to know when I'm extra lonely and does the dumbest things to make me smile...)

How awesome is this? I really think it has the potential to be in a future book of poems... this is for sure "Where the Sidewalk Ends" materal....

Stay occupied!

Using the Calcium Card

Hi! As often as I long for weekends full of activity and socialization .... surprisingly enough, I'm more than thrilled to report back that it was a very chill and very, very uneventful weekend - but it was JUST what I wanted AND needed after this past week.


For example... my Friday night consisted of a Panera salad and 2 Mary-kate and Ashley movies (Our Lips are Sealed and Billboard Dad)...with my roommate of course.
Moving on -  my Saturday was filled with laying out in the sun and hittin' balls on the driving range with Bobo....which was then followed by a so-so pizza made with mushrooms, olive oil, oregano, basil and ricotta cheese....with a side salad for some vegetables.....

which was THEN followed by a night to myself with some popcorn and a glass of wine....

whiiiile watching HSM3.... don't judge, Zac Efron IS my future husband...I promise.
I then decided that the only appropriate way to finish off my Saturday night of beng alone was to enjoy a bowl of ice cream... specifically a bowl of Key-Lime Pie frozen yogurt...which was refreshing, but it did lead to me demolishing almost the whole container... but what can I say? I was just getting my calcium quota for the day. Quote met. 


Oh, here is a picture of me and my friends.... 

just so you don't think I'm that crazy girl who has no friends and dreams about marrying Zac Efron on Saturday nights while eating ice cream.


Have a good start to the week,

Using the Vitamin D Card

Quick Post! 
I was just laying out in my back patio and wanted to brag announce to the blog world that we finally have sunshine and warm weather in central Ohio! Wooo!

Good thing I only read healthy living blogs and not claim to be one... because this is sure as hell is not considered healthy... at least I'm getting my vitamin D....!


Wear Sunscreen,

Yays and Nays

Hello! It's been a crazy week, but I have some downtime so the only thing I could think to do (well, after I re-watched the season finale of Vampire Diaries) was to blog... naturally, right?!


Way back in college, specifically my sophomore year, I was living with my best friend in a little tiny dorm room. I'm pretty sure we fought just enough, if not more, than we got along, but that is really besides the point of this little story... but just to clarify, and to go even further away from the point, she is still always my best friend and we are totally open with our sister-like squabbles battles...hi Jamie!!!


Anyway... back on track...


We (Jamie and I) had a dry erase board on our room, that we designated as the "YAY/NAY" board. Whenever we had things we didn't like we would write it under the NAY category and vice versa under the YAY category. So in honor of having nothing too openly blog about, I decided to do a blog version of the "YAY/NAY" board... feel free to read on and add any YAYs or NAYs you may have yourself!!


YAYS
     Coffee in the Morning...

    Mary-Kate and Ashley...

      Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies from 
      the Library - thanks rooommate!

     Peanut Butter...

     Spending time with Family... 
     (who doesn't like me doesn't like me taking pictures)

 NAYS
     Swollen Ankles...

     Paying Rent...

     Going to your Grandma's funeral...

These flowers are from the funeral, it was my mom who told me to put them in a beer bottle, no worries, I drank the beer first then filled it with water... but I still think their getting drunk and wilting.

Usually with my "no attitude" I have more Nays than Yays... but surprisingly enough, I have more Yays....so yay!!! Maybe I'm getting out of my deep, dark, the world hates me phase of my life...! ? Eh... here's hopin'!! haha


Friday go quick! pretty please?

Fun Weekend, Bad Blogger

Hello! I'm alive!!! I know you all were just on your seats, staring at your screen in extreme anticipation for my next blog post about my weekend.... and I'm sure when there was no post by Sunday night, you all were practically in tears, thinking that I did not survive my weekend at OU..... and

.......that I fell off a balcony....... or got trampled by a riot police horse...... or choked from bonging too many beers.....or died from heatstroke.... or that blood stopped flowing to my legs from squeezing into my skinny sister's shorts....or that I got struck by lightening....

but no worries! I'm alive....(although I'm still waiting for a blood clot to form in my left thunder thigh and kill me...)

Anyway, I arrived Saturday early afternoon, only to find my sister on the porch drinking a lovely Nautral Light brewskie while awaiting my arrival. Oh college, how I do miss you.... Shortly after arriving we walked up the street to Mill Fest.... which looked a lot like this 1 picture I took:

Just kidding... I took 5 more pictures... which should actually only count as 1 since it took 5 tries to get a semi-decent picture...

....which apparently wasn't enoguh....

This weekend was so much fun.... and this blog post would be 100x MORE fun had I been a bad blogger and took pictures of the police in riot gear, and the police on horses, and my amazing pita from the pita pit, and my sister's amazing midnight snack concoction of popcorn, goldfish and Cap'n Crunch peanut butter puffs, aaaand my amazing bagel Sunday morning called the "bluenanner"... (which was a blueberry bagel, honey, banana, and cinnamon), and of obviously more closeup pictures of me and my sister my sister and I... and shooter's???? Yes, this is a new one to me as well.... looks like a kids pool toy... apparently bonging beer is out of style and shooting beer is in?? beats the hell out of me....

I had so much fun.... I am so jealous that my roommate and her sister get to hang out all the time, so I'm glad I finally got a whole 24 hours with just me and the kelsonator00 (if you want to chat with her on AIM)

Did I have Fun? yes

Will I do this again? most likely

Can I do this every weekend? hell no.

Still hydrating,

Please Wish me Luck!

Remember my post about Endorphins? Well, I put that to practice this morning and did a 2 mile run and a modified cardio version of Level 1 Shred. I decided instead of throwing a pity party for myself and my ankle, I would make do with what I'm able to do and not worry about it.


So, with all my wonderful endorphins flowing threw my body.... I'm icing my ankle like a good little runner and eating the best bowl of overnight oats I've had in awhile.

Oh, and pounding water like it's my job.... I'm going to OU today to visit my sister. All I can say is wish me luck..... I'm preparing for a 2-3 day hangover. 


Recap to come tomorrow about my stint at college part two.... if I make it alive. 


Enjoy the weekend!

Friday.

This is my Friday night:

Yep. I'm feeling sorry for myself.

So here are some pluses about my life: 

• I get to see my sister tomorrow
• I facebook chatted (please don't judge!) with my best friend tonight... I really wish she lived by me....life would be so much easier if she lived in Columbus... but moving on..
• I get to run 2 miles in the morning
• I ate dinner without buying anything
• I got paid today?

Be positive,

Five Things on a Tuesday

By now, after reading several of my blog posts,  I'm sure you all have a pretty good insight into my life... and by insight, I mean that it is  b o r i n g...

So instead of toruting you through an hour by hour, minute by minute recap of my Monday, you guys get the pleasure of reading.....

5 Rando Things About Me

(which may or may not have been discovered on Monday).

1. I went to my sports chiropractor Monday morning. Good news is I have great insurance. Bad news is I can only run 5 miles a week...total.
2. I grew up swimming everyday for fun. I have never used swimming as a workout. However, this week I am purchasing Wal-Mart one peice bathing-suits for my roommate, Annie, and I, and we are going to do Zumba Swimming on Thursday evenings. (I'm using the random fact as more of a statement and a goal that will be achieved. And yes, I support any kind of harassament on Annie's blog about chickening out on this adventure).
3. Since moving in with a photo nerd, I realized that taking pictures of bright food in sunlight is fun.... even if they are horrible quality.

4. I'm openly obbsessed with Vampire Diaries, and even more obbsessed with Damon.
5. I LOVE breakfast. It's my favorite. I also get really angry and annoyed when people don't eat it because they are trying to lose weight..... no wonder there is such an obesity problem in this country.

Grab a granola bar, a banana, heck even a piece of pizza.... and eat if for breakfast!!!!
