weight loss

Just a little story I'd like to call "what the hell happened?"

I just let myself go... Why did I do that? I look back at pics and I'm disgusted with myself. Yeah the pics might mark good times but wow. I think this post is more of a reminder to myself to look back and realize I wasn't at a good place in my life... weight wise. Don't let that happen again. :(

FRIDAY!

Best Friday I've had in a long time! Usually because I'm stuck at work and NOTHING fun happens here.

Start the morning off with a trip to the Zoo with the kiddos. I took Jordynne (George) my friend Kiera's little girl, Jazzy took Tai and Lisa took her two kids Riley and Gracie. We met up at the Zoo around noon. The kids were so excited to see all the animals! George had never been to the Zoo before so this was an experience. We took tons of pictures with the kids and had such a fun time taking silly pics with and without the kids :)

After the Zoo Jazzy and I took the girls to my dad's office where they got Ice cream, cookies and doughnuts for being good.

Around 6 Jazzy and I went to meet up with Jaime and Julie and a whole bunch of other friends to celebrate Julie's birthday at Leatherby's. Delicious! and getting to see all the people I miss was a lot of fun! I hope to soon have a lot more days hanging out with them :)

Then Jazzy and I decided nap time was next on the list. I'd been going since 8 am. I don't normally wake up till 10:30 at the earliest. I work nights so I sleep later :) don't judge me lol

We had decided to go bowling but I didn't want to get out of bed. I text Rich to see if he and his friends were still gonna come and they were so I crawled out of bed. I got ready and Jazzy came to get me. We headed out to Fat Cats and got there around 9:30 ish.. probably closer to 10 now that I think about it. There wasn't a wait or anything which really surprised me. Rich and his friends were coming a little later so we got two lane's to make sure they would be by us. Rich, Kole and Joe came about half an hour later. We had such a good time with these guys! we had gone the weekend before as well.

After bowling we went and hung out at Kole's house for a while.

Around 3 am Jazzy and I decided it was time to head home :(

I would like this Friday to repeat itself for a few weekends. Just throw in a little more time with Jaime and Julie and it'd be perfect!

Another night

So Jazzy and I went out with the usuals again on Saturday... other than me being sick and sitting most of the night it was fun! Finally got pics of Thad not just from him jumping into the pics. :)
Me, Thad and Jazzy!
Me, Thad and Dave... he felt like jumping in.

Lisa and me... Love this girl!

Dave and Chad. they brought out champagne for Chad's wife Angie's birthday

My girl!

The "can we fit everyone in this pic?" shot

slacking

Ok So I've been slacking at updating my blog for a while now... I have had so much fun stuff happening and have spaced this. Sore-ee :)

So first: A couple of weekends ago I spent Sunday night at Jaime's. It was so much fun! Jaime and her husband Mikey had a get together with our friends Erika and Anthony, Rich and Awbree, Julie and Sierra even stopped by! I came alone! I've found that with the dirt that is shared by their significant others I don't need to subject myself to that :) although their dirt is always hilarious!

So I got there a little early and got to catch up with Jamie while she made dinner and I kept asking "how can I help?" Every one else started showing up and it was so nice to see everyone! it had been way too long! Awbree and Rich brought their kids and they are too cute! Mix them in with Jaime and Julie's adorable kids and the house was full of cuteness!
We had fun telling stories eating dinner and playing card games... I really didn't want the night to end.

Thank you Jaime for hosting this. I love ya!!!

Last Friday was fun... Me, Lisa, Dave, Mike and Thad all went to Green Street for one of their friend's birthdays. Lots of fun. Met Autumn and her boyfriend, I can't for the life of me remember his name :( Then Saturday night I went out to Green Street again! it was Lane's birthday and I got some of my girlies to come out as well. After Green Street a few of us went over to Kim's and hung out there for a while. some how this pair of sunglasses made their way around to everyone at some point. Here's Dave and Thad. Thad had ownership of the glasses at the moment.

Then this past Tuesday night my friend Bethany (from the Lion House) and I went to the Family Force 5 concert! AMAZING!!! I freaking love this band! 3oh!3 was essentially the headliner but I came to see FF5! I was rocking out of control and the guy next to me thought I was nuts! If you haven't listened to FF5 do yourself the favor and check them out!

And now to the present! Last night Jackie came in town from Chicago so we went to Metal Gods. Jazzy and I hung out earlier in the day. We paid off my warrants and went by Lane's to say hello then off to lunch where we both gorged on Mimi's Cafe. YUM! Home for a nap or in my case an attempt at a nap. Then we headed to Liquid Joe's. Such a fun night! Since I've essentially become a regular there it's nice to walk in and know people. Jazzy and I had to keep moving because we had friends everywhere! Such a fun night but I'm dying today! Could Thad get any cuter in the background? Boy kills me! :)

This weekend should be interesting... My mom is having my brother's over for lunch tomorrow for Easter and my dad is having us over on Sunday.

I get to spend tomorrow night with the ACBC's which should be a lot of fun! But for tonight I'm stuck, hung over, at work... shoot me.

My newest infatuation

Has everyone seen this man???

I have him on my desktop on one of my monitors at work... the other of course being Steve Nash! <3

Am I alone in thinking this guy is freaking hot?!

MMMMM... Anderson Cooper...

Just a little Dean

So I have Dean sitting next to me and I think "hmmm... why not take a pic with your pup?"
He sat still and even looked at my phone/camera so I could take a pic!
Such a cute puppy even though he's a pain in the ass!
