stronger than today

Have you ever randomly thought about the random stuff you love? The random things in life that make you smile, laugh, or entertain you? I've been doing a lot of that lately. Considering I'm going through a rough time right now and all I have to talk/think about is negative stuff I figure what better subject to post about than the random goodies in life. ....look I'm searching for a positive in a pile of negs, if I sniff one out I'm taking it! So here we go my random list of things that make smile, laugh, and right out entertain me.

1. Two and a Half Men. Has anyone ever watched this!?! I've never been huge on sitcoms but omg I could watch it all day. It makes me chuckle. And tonight as I was waiting for it to come on I came across another show that made me laugh, which is hard to do right now so you know it's gotta be good, How I Met Your Mother. Good stuff right there.

2. You know that one pocket in your purse that you know could be useful for something however you never seem to take use of it? (I like to call it "My Forgotten Pocket"....not really but it makes for a good name). Anywaysss so today I went to grab something (I cant remember what now) from the pocket beside the forgotten pocket however my hand slipped in the forgotten pockets instead. And what did my little fingers find!?!?! A twenty dollar bill. Oh how I will start visiting the forgotten pocket more now. :-)

3. Infomercials. Don't ask I don't know why. Let's take the bare minerals infomercials... one of my favorites... I love watching them making over the girls. Normally I get the kick out of the ones pertaining to all things beauty. I don't know they just make me smile. Next....

4. When you discover a great deal. Who doesn't? So self-explanatory.

5. When you realize someone cares more than you thought they did. Though this person has been in my life since day one, I never knew how much she cares and is willing to stick by me until now. She's really shown me a lot within the past 24hrs and for the simple fact that she has continuously checked up on me within the past 24hrs means more to me then she'll ever know.

Okay for now I'm going to try to catch some zZzZzZz's.

Tomorrow will be better, tomorrow I'll be stronger, because by tomorrow I will have grown from today.

the hurt

My heart hurts. I keep trying to put on a pretty little smile and pretend everything is okay yet in the end it's not.

Have you ever literally had the physical pain deep down in your chest? The one where for a couple of minutes you feel as if you could potentially be experiencing heart failure?

It hurts.
Physically.
Emotionally.
Mentally.

gobble, gobble...

Yeah yeah... I went on a mini blogcation again. So much has been going on, once again... with work. My partner went on maternity leave, therefore everything that use to be handled with four hands was being handled with just two. Those two hands were my own. Stress overload, multiple migraines, and a full plate (and this plate wasn't filled with turkey and dressing...). Speaking of! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

This year the family came to my house. After two days prep it was over in the blink of an eye. I guess that's the way it always goes. Anyways... this was Jacob Riley's first year to eat a thanksgiving meal. Unfortunately he was a bit under the weather so I don't think he got the chance to enjoy to the full capacity. Poor baby. Needless to say, he currently has six stitches in his chin from falling and busting it open. Once they're mobile... they're mobile... lol.

Anywho, I'm not going to post a novel because I'm watching some show on NBC about the people of the year. Currently they're featuring Justin Timberlake, and in my opinion that's definitely something to look at ;) hehe...

So goodnight lovelies, happy thanksgiving, and oh, PS! be careful and have fun shopping on the ultimate shopping day: BLACK FRIDAY!

Jacob Riley+Giveaway+No Work

First and foremost, hooray for giveaways! I loveee them! I just recently entered Bailey's giveaway where two lucky winners would recieve a set of social networking buttons. Guess what? (i'm sure you've already figured out by this point, but let's not spoil the fun) I WONNNN!!! Hooray hooray! If it were anyone else posting this giveaway with another designer, chances are I probably wouldn't have entered. However, considering Bailey is extremely easy to work with and is an AMAZING designer I jumped on this like a cheetah in hightops! If you're ever interested in getting a professional blog design or even redesigning your blog, I would HIGHLY recommend her. You can go here for all the details on how to get a bad ass blog design! ;)

Furthermore, yesterday was intense. I woke up at 5AM to go in to work and didn't get off til 8PM. I was ready to fall out when I got hope, which is exactly what I did. Today was a waste! The most productive thing I did today was take a shower, and it was like pulling teeth to even get up and make myself do just that. Lazy much? Honestly, I can't tell you the last time I took a day off from every aspect in my crazy life. I did what I wanted to do all day long, which was just sit, that's it... just sit. Others would go get a pedicure, manicure, massage, even go shopping. However, all of that seems like a large task to me lately just because I don't have time to ever just sit. Sit and breathe for a whole day. Let me tell you, I couldn't have asked for a better day... minus the aches and pains created from working long hours in a body that isn't getting any younger, but hey that's life!

So have I ever told ya'll that I sleep naked? I have to. I can't sleep in clothes, I've tried a million and a half times! Yet, somehow I have an obsession with pajamas! I just bought an awesome set of j's that I literally wash repetitively so I can wear them every night. One of these days when I have time, I'm going to buy several more pairs. I love them because the pants you can either where them as capri's or full length and the shirt you can wear either three quarter length or long sleeve! Needless to say they're comfy, and kinda cute ;) Seee:

Told ya so. So anyways, moving on to the most important subject of this post. Jacob Riley! So today in day care his teacher was reading a book about farm animals. The teacher started making different farm animal noises and all of a sudden Jacob, 11 months old, goes "Mooo". How freaking adorable, do you know how much money I would have paid in order to see that! I love me some Jacob Riley, like nobodys business! Speaking of him being 11 months, Jacob Riley turns 1 on October 26th! Woo Hoo! Because of this, I will be hosting a giveaway sometime closer to the end of this month. Meanwhile, I have to figure out what I'll be giving away and the exact date that I'll be giving it. So anyways that's something to look forward too! Oh and also... look out for day 3 of 10 Days of Digging Deeper! It'll be popping up sometime soon =)

tick, tock, stop the clock!

Where exactly is the time going? Does anybody know, anybody? I seriously have so much that I need to do and so much that I want to do. Here's where I'm suppose to weigh out which is more important of the each tasks but let's be honest... I just want to crawl in bed and sleep, totally forget that time even exists or that I even have anything to do. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that. However I did finish my fall cleaning in my bedroom, so that's a big chip of the shoulder... and one less thing on my never ending to do list. I need more time! Time, time, time

I don't know if I've ever explained or even mentioned that I am the manager at my job and that I share my title with one other person, C. C just had a baby two Sunday's ago so all of the management responsibilites are now on my plate. Tomorrow I will be working a triple shift: opening + day shift + night shift= 13 hours of work. Plus all the little things that I need to get done adds up to be a pretty busy/exhausting day.

On a lighter note, I went to the Titans game on Sunday! :) This time J didn't go with, instead I took M, on of my employees. We had a blast even though it was a crappy loss, at least I got some pretty cute pictures from it! Ha! I was going to post some but photobucket is kind of being retarded right now. So once I have them all uploaded into one file, I'll show em to ya! ;)

Till then, I'm going to end this pointless post by telling you all that I hope you have a wonderful rest of the night and a fabulous Wednesday tomorrow!

Wee Bit Wednesday

A day late!

Ummm two posts in less than an hour? what-evaaa I gotta lotta say!

Cheesecake!

ummm popcorn, duh!


{ten} do you scream on roller coasters?

picture perfect

Hooray for retail therapy! Okay so today I went shopping after work. Normally people use retail therapy when they're stressed or upset but me? No I just used it because people at work cut my nerves! So anyways moving onwards! I first stopped by Dick's Sporting Goods and bought a Titan's t-shirt as well as some cute little shorts! Oh yes, this coming Sunday's game is going to be watched in total comfort. (Unless I have a smelly guy standing near me at the game, that's not exactly comfortable...) I then stopped by Best Buy to price check some cameras, ended up leaving because no one even offered to help me price check... rude. So I then stopped by Wally World and dropped by the electronics department and not one but two people asked to help me... that's what I'm talking about people. So I ended up walking out of there with a lighter wallet and a new digital camera! Score. Okay so I didn't go full out and by an SLR or anything, really the only reason I even went to get one is because I wanted a smaller camera that was less bulky than the one I already own.

I ended up going with a simple digital camera, nothing fancy-shmancy. I wasn't looking to spend over $150 because I know I'll eventually want to get an SLR and really all I needed this one for was to take to Titan's games and what-not. (my other camera is bulky so it was always taking up too much room in my purse) Furthermore I bought the Kodak EasyShare M530. It's small and cute and does everything I need it to...which is simply take pictures and load them to my computer lol, nothing too high tech. Though I may have only spent $108.57 (not to be precise or anything?) it actually takes a lot better pictures then my $200 something camera that's fat and inconvenient! Yes, you read correctly I just called it fat. heh...

-Next Subject-
So today I didn't go into work until 10AM and only had a five hour work day, what's even better is tomorrow is a repeat of the same. Talk about vacation! Ahhh heavennnn! (As I was typing this I get a phone call from work telling me that in the morning I need to have enough food made for 300-400 people. Um ez-cuse me? Oh the life of a pro-caterer! HA!)

So anywho, be on the look out for day 3 of 10 Days of Digging Deeper! =)

OH! and Ps. Has anyone read 'Why Men Love Bitches' by Sherry Argov? A while ago I had a friend tell me about it and tell me about how good it was but I can't think about who it was that told me nor can I think about what all she said. So if you've read it, let me know your thoughts!
