I might be crazy....

But I've created a blog for our wedding! I've missed blogging but unfortunately I don't have the attention span to do it daily or even 2-3x a week again.. And for that reason, I probably won't be writing about my daily life but rather use it to keep track of my wedding ideas, get opinions from anyone who would like to share (because all of you are so awesome and have great ideas!!) and of course, to have a journal of this time in our lives <3

I hope you'll follow me there - I'm so excited to get this wedding planning ON!!! :)

I bid you adieu

So I would never say I have an exciting life, it's pretty simple in fact. But I wouldn't say that I'm a completely boring person either. I'm a funny person in real life who enjoys spending time with my silly boyfriend, with my hilarious/awesome friends and with my good intentioned family. I have 2 dogs and a cat that I think of as children and I have a job I LOVE (who can say that?). But lately, my head is all over the place. I'm usually fixated on work, and now I'm struggling with the idea of moving to another city which would equal leaving the job I love but also would mean having more time to focus on my relationship with Ronnie, which we don't seem to do much lately since my family seems to be in my face/head 24/7. My head is FULL.

Having said that, I want to tell all of you that I've been struggling with what to blog about lately. Heck, I've been struggling since the beginning! I started the blog not only to keep a diary but mostly because I thought it would be so fun to "meet" new people and I thought I had so many witty things to say but it turns out, I really don't. I've tried "be-friending" new bloggers all along and none have taken to me and it almost feels like middle school again where I'm wondering "What's wrong with me? Why does no one like me? Why is no one following me?". And I seriously have asked these questions. Out loud. To Ronnie. And that's just silly! I'm a grown ass woman who doesn't need to be worried about petty stuff like that! You know? But realistically, I feel like I'm boring all of my followers and if I keep it up, I'll never gain any more followers!

So I'm sure you're wondering where I'm going with this (or not) but I'm thinking I'm going to take a nice long break from blogging and maybe even shut this joint down altogether. I'm just not sure what to do anymore since I'm just struggling with posting and I'm just tired of wondering why no one likes me. ha! (FYI: This is not a fishing for compliments kind of thing - I'm not looking to be built up, I swear!) I just wanted to let y'all know what's been going on with me and I wanted to say how grateful I am to you girls who have "followed" me! I mean seriously, you have no idea how giddy I was (and still am) to have you as blog friends :) It means a lot to me that you've stuck with me through all the boring posts and the every so often, funny ones. Your comments have meant a lot to me!

Thanks again to all of you and hopefully I'll return someday. If not, you know where to find me. FACEBOOK! Just click on me in the right column if you're on there too because I'd love to be friends outside of the blog world! A couple of you are on my facebook and I so genuinely love being able to talk to you girls there, outside of the pressure I feel in the blog world! :p

Take care, lovelies!

weekend re-cap

First things first, my dogs did not pass away. Someone thought that due to the quote on my previous post but no, they are healthy and as barky as ever. I just wanted to post some pictures I'd taken of them along with a quote that showed just how much I love them. So, I'm sorry if that came off really sad or morbid. I honestly would be way too distraught to blog if something had happened to them :(

Ok on to happy stuff...I ordered a new Blackberry today!!! Called the Blackberry Tour. I'm long overdue for a new phone and Sprint hadn't come out with a new BB since I got my Curve almost 2 years ago! It should arrive in just a couple days and I am ecstatic!!!!

This weekend has felt a little longer than usual and maybe it's because I'm boring and haven't really done much. Friday night after work, I met up with my 2 friends for a girl's night. We ate at Alamo Cafe (yum!) and then went to see The Hangover. Holy hell, that movie was hilarious! I woke up yesterday morning thinking about it and quoting lines from the movie. If you enjoy raunchy movies as much as I do, then you will love this one. But I'm warning you, if you get offended easily over a lot of cussing and sex talk, this one isn't for you. As for me and my friends, we give it 2 thumbs up!

Then yesterday me and Ronnie hung out, cleaned a little and did a bunch of NOTHING. It was so nice! We always have to run around somewhere on the weekends but we did nothing and I loved it. Then at night we bought the UFC fight on pay per view (Ronnie's request, not mine). We usually go to a bar to drink some beer while watching the fight but we were being so lame, we just stayed home. We ordered pizza and just had a lot of fun watching it together. So yes Ronnie, I will admit, I enjoy UFC :)

Hope you're all having a fantabulous weekend, we'll see what Sunday may bring!

Tuesday night shop-a-thon!

Guess what I've been doing tonight?... Well isn't it obvious? :D

OldNavy.com is having an online sale through 7/11 and you get 15% off a $75 or more purchase. You're damn right I took advantage of it! I got most of my stuff from the plus size section (♥ it!) and found me some capris, jeans, a cardigan, sandals, a t-shirt...I think that's it...Oh and a cute little tote bag on clearance for $4.99!!! Just a peek at some of the stuff I got:

I swear that I do not intend to wear these items together. I do know how to dress myself, thank you very much. ha!

So...what are you waiting for? Go and shop, it'll be fun! :)

A family 4th

Is it wrong that I tried to stay away from my family for the 4th of July? I know that sounds mean but really, me and Ronnie are family partied out so we decided to head up to New Braunfels ALONE to Landa Park for fireworks...Mind you, every time we ever go to this park, it's dead. SERIOUSLY! So we figured it wouldn't be horrible yesterday but yes, yes it was. I was annoyed because we'd driven all the way out there and ended up just turning back and driving home because there was nowhere to park and there was not one empty spot for us to lay out our blanket for the show. It was like people had camped out the night before which I guess wouldn't surprise me. But it kind of saddens me when a little town like NB is suddenly overtaken with people, makes me realize our part of Texas is getting way too crowded for its own good...

But we headed back home, picked up our doggies and went and parked (with about half of San Antonio) along I-10 and watched the firework show at Fiesta Texas. The dogs actually stared in awe at the fireworks and would sometimes bark at them. It was so cute! I felt so much love for my little family. Granted the dogs are not actual children but my heart was full and I enjoyed every minute. So technically, I was with my family yesterday. My little family that keeps my heart content :)

Hope you all had a lovely 4th of July weekend. We ended our weekend today by having my parents and siblings over for a pizza night. It was super fun (and made me feel better after having dissed them yesterday :)

Hard to forget

Dear Robert,

We were a great couple but that's long done with and that was before you got super famous. And before I cheated on you with Johnny Depp. (He's freaking Cry Baby, how could I say no to him?) I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I'll always remember our times together, Robby but I've moved on. So please, STOP sending me our old pictures. We are DONE. I ♥ Ronnie now ok? I hope you have a nice life and good luck with your acting career.

P.S. Loved Twilight! :)

hahahaha. My little sis sent me this picture and it just craaacked me up! I love face in hole.

Happy Friday!

All by myself...Well not really, I have a million neighbors

My man's out of town for work until tomorrow so I'm alone and bored tonight :( And missing him of course...But at least I have my doggies to keep me company!

Oooh and thanks for the tips about curling my hair, I'm so excited to try some new stuff soon!

But down to business. Today I'm annoyed because San Antonio was announced as the 7th largest city in the US! You think we'd be excited about being in the "Top 10" but not on this list...The traffic is getting insane, all of our pretty land is being torn down for more cookie cutter houses and crime's getting worse because DUH, with this many people in one city, there's bound to be a "few" bad people. We're now at about 1.3 million people!!!! WTF?!

Finding this out makes me wonder if Ronnie and I should even be worrying about buying a house here because maybe we shouldn't stay here. Maybe we should move to Austin. Where at least their traffic is worth it because you get to be near the Hill Country, beautiful lakes, an awesome downtown and hello, it's the music capital of TX! I'm so scared to move away though because I love my job and even though Austin's only an hour or so away, we Texans do not commute like that. Or I should say, THIS Texan does not commute like that. The cities in TX are so spread out that most of us TRY to find jobs near our house or move to be closer to our jobs. That's just the way it's always been. And it's pretty much unheard of/insane to find out that someone you know is commuting from SA to Austin or vice versa. Traffic is just nuts and I'm a nervous driver so the whole commuting thing would not be good for me. Or for my blood pressure. LOL... So I'm not sure what to do? Any thoughts? I appreciate the advice! :)

Hope you're all having a lovely evening!

Hadley Hair

Have any of y'all been watching "Southern Belles of Louisville" on SOAPnet? Yeah I figured not. haha. I only watch it because I've been to Louisville for work and have become friends with a few of the people I met there, so I thought it'd be cool to watch. Thing is, this show is like any other reality show, where you know for a fact that they are not depicting their city, life, etc. as it REALLY is. Either way, it's fun to watch.

But I'm tooootally obsessing over one of the girls, Hadley. Not a girl crush but she is just SO pretty, I just want to look like her! ha! I'm loving her style and her name too but most of all her freaking HAIR! This hair style is exactly why I've been trying to grow out my hair but it's taking FOREVER. I have it trimmed every 6 weeks but with all the flat ironing I do (I have curly hair but it ain't looking like hers! lol), it tears my ends to shreds so fast! I fully intend to try for that look though! Isn't she just so pretty? I'm jealous!
