So, thanks for all of the nice and reassuring comments from my last post. Dude, sometimes one just has to cry it out. I'm in a funk, I admit it, and yes, I tend to get into funks often when I'm stagnant. I'm just ready for a good change. I thrive on good changes. *big heavy sigh*

On a brighter, bloggerific note (wtf. Bloggerific?)...much like a LOT of the world, I'm obsessed with Pinterest. OB-sessed. I absolutely love all of the ideas I get from that wondrous website. I went through my Fashion board the other day and decided to pick out a few outfits that I WILL copy in the upcoming months once it's warmer.

I chose these looks based upon the fact that they're simple to recreate. I love fashion, but find that if I have a FULL outfit inspiration I do better. I just get overly critical of my own additions to anything. So, yeah, basically a copy cat like whoa.

If I could raid any celebs clost, it would be Carrie Underwood or The Kardashians. They might be annoying and worthless, but dammit, they're gorgeous and always look good. I mean.....please, someone tell me why my ponytail doesn't look as good as Kim's...Anyone?



What are some of your Pinterest outfit inspirations? I'd love to see what you all have put together. Send the links my way! :)

So. I may or may not have had a small meltdown after work.

I came home and my Chihuahua's had pooped and peed, not ON their pee pads, but right next to them on my RUGS. Seriously? They know better.

After the week I've had, this just pushed me over the edge. I started crying hysterically as I was scrubbing the carpet, thinking of how I'm going to be the single Chihuahua lady living in lower Alabama for the rest of my life because every single job vacancy in my field I interview for comes SO close, but not close enough. lol

*sigh*

I would like to compare this outburst with that of a mother at her wits end surrounded by crying babies and dirty diapers. lol.

The End. See ya next month when I decide to blog once. hahaha

WOO! Good luck to all of my followers! it'd be awesome if one of you got the thing! I wouldn't mind having one myself.

Can you BELIEVE I'm blogging two days in a ROW? Me neither.

I mentioned yesterday I was going to get my eating and workouts back on track this new year and today commences that "resolution."

First up is a juicing/raw veggies detox for the next three days. technically it's not a true detox. With a true juicing detox you aren't supposed to eat solid anything in order to give your digestive system a break. That's just impossible for me being at work, so I'm sticking to fresh organic veggies for lunch and snacks throughout the day.

I'll be using my super new and cool Breville Juice Fountain Plus to make two or three fresh juices per day.
I did pick up an organic Naked brand juice drink for lunch today- just to try it out. Lots of sugar (natural, but still).


I wish I could do the juice fast for longer than three days, but I'll be out of town this weekend, in Memphis....Probably eating BBQ. DO NOT judge me......

If it matters at all, I plan to eat as LIGHTLY as possible on this trip for my friend's 30th birthday, but I just can't promise that. I'm trying so hard to overcome my mentality of "all or nothing." It used to be, if I knew I'd be going out of town and eating bad, I'd just go ahead and eat badly leading up to that point- Figured I might as well. This isn't the attitude to have, ya know?

Anyone ever tried a juice detox or simply add fresh juice to your daily diet? How'd you like it?

#1. Today is my last day of vacation. This makes me sad, yet happy. As much as I love being a lady of leisure, I also need to get OUT of this house! Besides, I'm going to be straight with you guys...I only work three days this week. lol. Going to Memphis this weekend for a good friend's 30th birthday.

#2. My baby boy, Brady is overweight by one or two pounds. I took him and Chiva for a walk today and while putting on his harnass I had to make it bigger...Needless to say, it wouldn't go as big as it needed to go. *sigh* The poor boy. He had surgery a few months ago and has to eat special food for his bladder health. I think it has a lot to do with his weight gain.

Anyone out there with smaller dogs have any advice on helping them shed a pound or two? Do ya think walks will do the trick? They rarely ever go for a walk- I just let them out in the backyard. I think I'll shoot for maybe a walk 2-3x a week for them.....


#3. I just did my first workout in- BRACE yourselves-....THREE months. I'm ashamed, frankly. I am, I am, I SWEAR I am! Ugh. I let life get in my way of my healthy lifestyle and I'm paying for it. My cardiovascular helth is still surprisingly intact, but my body physically NOT. My back is feeling tight where it's never hurt before. My bad knee is acting up from immobility- it's just kind of a mess.

The good thing is it's a new beginning and I have a revived sense of health and well-being. Can't wait to make this year the healthiest yet!


Welcome to 2012, my friends. I hope it brings happiness for you all :)
