{perfectly lonely}

i have a confession.
i went on a date over the weekend.
it was a lot of fun and i enjoyed myself.

what's the problem you ask?
i'm perfectly fine with being a single lady. 
as my dear john says,

"I'm perfectly lonely cause
I don't belong to anyone. 

no one belongs to me."

I am not sure as to how i got to this place. 
i love being single. 
 yet, i want to have a cute bf who brings me flowers.  who takes me out. who spoils me.

i guess maybe the guy i went out with over the weekend just was NOT my type.
we had great conversation.
i giggled a LOT.
our arms brushed each others.
but there wasn't a *spark* for me.

i guess you can't force it....

"when there comes a day...when i look all on my younger times,  i'll have to THANK THE WRONGS that lead me to a LOVE SO STRONG"



for now i'll just stay PERFECTLY LONELY

shakeology pt. 1

ok people, you asked for it!  I've officially been drinking the SHAKEOLOGY for two whole days now...


last night I drank it for dinner around 5:00 PM (which is TOO early for dinner I think...) so I was feeling super hungry around 9:00ish so I had myself a bowl of greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and some pecans on top.  (that is my new favorite treat by the way)

this morning I made myself a shake for breakfast and I am feeling great. 
I have noticed that I am not having cravings.  weird?  maybe...
i have a TON of energy (hello gym session EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS WEEK...booyah!)

here's all the fixins for the     SHAKEOLOGY

enjoyin my shake (don't mind my makeupless face...eeek!)

SHAKEOLOGY mustache. yup, I'm cool.

and I just FEEL great.  don't I look it ;) bahhhh ha ha ha

oh, and if you're wondering, the shake DOES taste great.

kinda like nesquick (the bunny powder chocolate milk)

yup, its delish. and healthy. all in one

booyah!

happy FRIDAY

surprise

you may not be excited when the UPS man comes to your house, but I am.

Today the UPS man brought me this:

shakeology

i have been on one of my health kicks and I heard about this from my friend Debbie last weekend.  She is a marathon runner and told me its the best thing she's ever bought (supplement wise).

"like a trip to the salad bar, with 5 plates - but in one glass"

I am sort of nervous/excited to try this meal replacement drink.  I bought the chocolate flavor (because, hey who doesn't like chocolate) and I have my almond milk to mix in with this.

I don't get all of my nutrition that I need throughout the day, so I thought what a great what to do so.

And look at the back of the nutrition facts:

Holy schhhmokey!

Look at all those vitamins and nutrients.

Have you ever tried this drink before?

anyone?  anyone?

timing

I remember that day when our eyes first met.
You ran into the building to get out of the rain cause you were soakin wet.  And as I held the door, you wanted to know my name...

You can call it fate, or destiny...



{timing is everything}

its Friday...

its Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday.


(thanks Rebecca Black .  Your nasal voice and ever-so-clever lyrics are constantly finding their way into my head on a weekly basis...mainly on Friday)


This weekend I will be doing this:


working The Scrapbook Fair for the company I worked for, Crate Paper
This is me, gettin on my way to the show.

I also have a date with this guy tomorrow:  Cybex Arc Trainer

I'm gonna be completely honest.  It's been MONTHS since I've worked out with this machine...but I went last night and I killed about 39 ish minutes on this bad boy.  I am sore from ab to toe.  This is the best workout you can get.  Trust me.  I LOVE this machine.  We are pretty good pals, and it keeps me in shape (besides ROUND that is)

I'm feelin good.  I have started yet ANOTHER strict workout routine.  And trust me, I am going to be keepin ya'll informed.  I need to have some "support" so I figure if I post some before and after photos and chart my progress that it'll help keep me motivated.  (I hope I don't scare anyone)

I also wanted to share a sneak peak of a senior photo shoot from earlier this week.

meet: Kelsey    (homecoming queen + volleyballer + seriously funny lady)  

What are YOUR weekend plans my dears?!

chicken noodle soup for the {cold}

ya know how they say chicken noodle soup is good for sick people?

my momma and I made this scrumptralesent dish.

everyone knows you need 44 oz. of water to do ANYTHING in life

voila!  the final project - chicken noodle soup.
this is my favorite soup ever.
plus, its HOMEMADE to boot

delish!

trusty old friends

cute Miss Angie got married last weekend.
Brooke and I were able to go to the reception.
The three of us were the best of friends in h.s.


oh how times have changed.

we have all moved on and our lives take their different courses, but somehow when
we go for a long time without seeing each other, it still feels like nothing has changed.


love these girls

congrats Angie & Roland
