Goodbye, LOST. You confused me, but I loved you.

Posted by
For all you LOST fans out there- tonight's the night. You may wanna get ready for Monday before 6 p.m. CST, because it's gonna be a looooong night, what with the long finale and Jimmy Kimmel's LOST show tonight. Do you think I'm gonna miss the alternate endings? negative.

LOST wasn't and isn't my all-time favorite show on TV (Hello! Dawson's Creek?! HAHA- I'm not kidding, really.) but throughout the seasons it's kept me intrigued and guessing and this is why I love it. Unpredictability. Sawyer has to be my favorite character. I love his sarcasm and smart-ass one-liners. How can you not love his most-used, "Son of a bitch!".....




Let's Talk Clothes- I was trying on dresses the other day, trying to decide on one for my friend's rehearsal dinner- I was reminded how much I freaking HATE side zippers on dresses. I have big boobs and broad shoulders. I'm sturdy, put it that way. My bones could probably never be broken- which is a great thing, but not so great when you're trying to fit your ribcage into a dress. LOL

Even at my smallest, side zippers were my enemy. Obviously you can't trim down your rib bones in order to shrink your upper body. ARGH!!
What are your clothing pet peeves? What types of closures on clothing just don't work for your body type?

I'm curious to know what issues other people have.

WISHLIST: Here are sopme of the current things on my wishlist. Among tons of other crap.


No, I STILL haven't broken down and bought J. Crew's Bow Monde dress. *Sigh*

Calvin Klein's Cross Strap Dress. I just love it. Love it.

J. Crew Pave Cable Link Bracelet. I like shiny stuff.

Anne Klein's Anise Peep Toie Slingback. Love the nude. Love the heel (go to endless.com and view it from all angles.)
Guess Nail Heels- I think these are skankalicious, but not too skank that they can't be sexy. I've been lusting for these for awhile now.
I'm stopping here so that I can go for a run before I decide that's I'm just "not in the mood".

This is the end....

Posted by
A psychic told me once (long story...no, really.) that I was going to marry a rich man. Where the hell is he? Just sayin'.

LOST last night? OH so good, I thought. I seriously find myself on the EDGE of my couch lately watching it. I can't believe it's ending Sunday and I'm so glad I decided to pick back up and watch it last season- Dude, seriously. After those middle seasons of NO answers and just everyone running around the jungle, I was getting pissed off royally- and quit watching.

I have nothing in particular to talk about- Mostly because I'm f'ing drained. I'm so tired and honestly could have went to be an hour ago. I'm headed that way now.

Oh, so, yeah...remember how I mentioned Anthropologie was having a big sale for this Tuesday's sale day? Mmmm yeahhhh. If you follow other Anthro Lover cult blogs as I do religiously, you'll also see they agree when I say the sale was BLAH. It was BULP. Nothing I wanted was on sale. I did buy this ONE top that miraculously I've been wishlisting for awhile now. yay for Prevailing Winds Tank.


My Firefox favorites are overflowing with recently favorited fashion items I have my eye on, so I'll be back maybe tomorrow...maybe Friday, with a buncha cute things I'm drooling over.

My ass is crawling into bed and hopfully getting in 3 miles under my belt in the morning before work.....

Goodnight blog land. :-)

Goin' to the chapel and she's...gonna get maaaaaaried.

The Bride (light up penis veil and all) and I (loving those jello shooters. LEMME tell ya!).

HEEEYYYY ladies! So, as you all know, bachelorette party for Amanda was this weekend at Savannah Smiles Dueling Piano Bar. I'm happy to report back that obviously the other 3 bridesmaids must have taken a "let loose and become more friendly" pill. They were the girls I first met 5 or so years ago when Amanda moved from our high school to theirs. Back then I thought they were awesome and I think they may have just rubbed me the wrong way during the bridal shower a few weeks ago. ANYWAY, it's said and done and we all had a fun weekend!

That being said- I tried a wedding makeup look tonight to prepare for the big day. As maid of honor it's my duty to look brootiful for the bride's photos. LOL! Right? Right.

What I Was Going For: a soft, youthful early evening wedding look. Didn't want to go too dramatic as I feel this would draw attention away from the bride.

Here's the result: I think it looks fine, but mine definitely doesn't look like tutorial I followed. :-( BOO!! BIG BOO. I think it's because the crease color isn't dark enough as it was in the video. Note taken.....darken the crease some more. Other than that.....do you think this looks OK for the wedding? Too light? Too something else? I want it to show up on camera in photos, so I'm thinking MORE dark. Feedback please.

I'm exhausted, so I'm cutting this short. I'm hoping this week will be a productive one for my running (i.e. Do more than last week). PLUS Anthropologie is having their twice a year supah sale Tuesday morning!!! So excited about TONS of markdowns!! :-)

Love ya!!

Green Chested Divo. Keep reading.

Posted by
Ima Divo

Last week, Tuesday, I started having "chest pains". (Note that chest pains is in quotations) I was a little leery because as you can imagine the thing immediately running through my mind was, "OMG. I'm too young to have a heart attack!" I figured it wasn't any such thing, but you can never be too sure. I went to bed and everything was fine the next morning. I didn't feel any pain again until last night- It HURT, man. The pain is dull and starts toward the top of my boob and kinda encircles it, if you will.

That was it- I resorted to what I do best- Internet self-diagnosis. I typed in any and all symptoms I had (which wasn't very many) into Google. I couldn't pinpoint what it was and seriously thought something just might be wrong with my heart, but I wasn't out of breath at all, had no issues with breathing.

I came into work today and started palpating myself. I would be still and breathe in, lean this way or that way trying to determine where exactly the pain was emitting from. I was in pain especially when I leaned forward and stretched out my arms and kinda "hunched" over.

Finally I was talking with a woman/friend in the office and she said the same thing happens to her. She even went to the doctor's because she too, thought she was having some sort of crazo heart attack.

Long story short- it was just an overworked/sprained muscle in her chest. I'm not saying that's what mine is, but more than likely? Yes.

This makes me feel better anyway. I popped two Aleve's and the pain is gone. Thank God. It's the little things. Haha.

Now wasn't that a great story? Obviously I'm a bored blogger today.

Running Progress: Today I ran/jogged/walked the longest distance I've ever done in ONE setting. 4 miles=51:15. I didn't care about the time, I just wanted to push myself past my comfort zone. At about mile 3.5, my chest and throat started to get tight and it was harder to breathe. Stupid lungs. haha

I only walked for maybe 10-12 minutes the entire 51 minutes. The rest of the time was a slight jog (4.5-5.5 mph) and a run at the very end (6.0).

Nutrition: A few days ago I finally tried out the infamous Green Monster shake that every food blogger on the internet absolutely RAVES about. Here's what I've been outing into mine:

Two handfuls of spinach leaves
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
1 tablespoon of White Chocolate Peanut butter
1 frozen banana
1/4 cup rolled old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon of sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (powder!)
1/2 skim milk
1/2 cup to 1 cup of water (depends on how thick/thin you want the consistency)
Ice

Blend it all together and this is what ya get:

I'm pleased with it- Not to gross anyone out, but it has FO SHO given me more roughage in my diet. I am allll about some fiber!!

I leave you with photos of my baby. He's fury, cute and lovable and loves to work on his highlights out in the sun. :-) BAHAH!




* Is he winking in this pic? Yeah. Pretty sure he is ;-)

Allow me to entertain you with an outfit (kinda) and flowers

Posted by
Note: I don't have a full length mirror anymore. It's on my TO BUY list.

For today I'm sharing....The lovely Anthropologie Chemise I bought last Tuesday. Can I just tell you- I LOVE it! Everything about it. The colors, the fit, the way it hugs my boobs (lol!) Not that anyone will ever see it unless they come over to my house during the afternoon/evening, but I enjoy feeling sexy even by my lonesome.

P.S. LOL. What is WITH the bird finger?? Sorry, guys. I have no idea how I managed to do that.

More outfits in later posts....

These days I'm into beautifying my yard and home. Allow me to show you via photos what I've done so far....

Rocking chairs, monogram flag and new planter with Celosia's :-)

The newest addition- My small, but very cute, flower bed in the backyard.

Planter on the front porch which houses Celosias. I LOVE these. I hope they grow taller!!

Bougainvillea

Lovely Hydrangea bush! He's gotten so big in just two short weeks! (you like how I call my flowers/bushes have a gender? "He's")

RUNNING UPDATE: Question for all you runners...do you have a better time outside than on a treadmill?

I thought that maybe my time/distance on the treadmill would be better than my time outdoors, but it's the exact opposite! My time outside is actually pretty damn OK. My best time indoors for 3 miles has been 38:31. Outdoors? 36:00. Why is this? Aren't treadmills supposed to "help" you more with the automatic moving belt and all that jazz? I'm thinking it's because I push myself more outside- it's more fun, more stuff to see, etc.

I ran inside today. 3 miles in 40:00. I wasn't going for time today, rather just distance. Since I wasn't trying to kill myself I was running faster at some points. Just testing out different methods.

This weekend is the Bachelorette party- after the bridal shower I'm less than thrilled to be traveling 5 hours to Savannah to hang out with people who are cold and boring. *sigh* I'm going to make the most of it, however and try to have some fun- and enjoy it as MUCH as feasibly possible. Positive thoughts. Positive thoughts.........errrr.

Lawd have mercy....is anyone on the edge of their seat during these last few episodes of LOST?? I am!! It's been awhile since LOST has done that for me. Last week was SO freaking sad. SO sad. Too bad I couldn't relish in the sadness. My friend Marion, whom I love dearly, doesn't watch LOST- she was visiting and I made her watch with me...I could REALLY tell she was getting into it, and I tried to explain as much as I possibly could to her (you all know trying to describe LOST details is like trying to explain what the color red looks like to someone who's been blind their whole life ...), but when the gang crashed on the beach and Jack told everyone Sun and Jin didn't make it, and the camera panned to Hurley....

"Dude. 'Ole boy hasn't said a word this entire show. Does he speak? His hair is UGLY!"- Marion

That's when Hurley started to cry.

That cracked our shit up.

"Marion! That's sad. Look! Now he's CRYING! And you were making fun of his hair."- Me

Had to be there. :-)

Everyone have a great Monday evening- I'm looking forward to LOST tomorrow.

I'm up and there's no turning back

Posted by
I was awoken by a strange dream that involved a creeper trying to see which apartment I went into after getting off the metro...Yeah. My dreams are strange.

Anyway, I'm glad I woke up because today is Anthropologie SALE DAY!! I love this day, when I have money. Here's my loot:

Silken Pathways Dress- $168
Uhm, yeah, so, not on sale, but I couldn't wait any longer to try it out! I hear the colors are even more vibrant and dress cuter in real life. We'll see...

End of the Rainbow Earrings- $38
Last minute addition to my bag. These have been on my wishlist because I love all the pops of color. NOT on sale.

Keep It Simple Tunic- $68
Ok, geez, yet another item NOT on sale from my purchase. It's a good price, however, and I love this bright turquoise color!

Castle Lake Dress- $89.95 (was $168)
When I've seen this on Anthropologie blogger reviews, they always pull this dress off well- Personally I love the shape and the colors and am really hoping this one is a homerun!

Paint The Night Chemise- $29.95 (was $58)
Cute little nighties/lounge-wear are just so adorable to me!

Running: I ran outside for the first time since starting my training for the Army 10-miler race. If you follow me, you know I have always ran on treadmills because my shins and right knee always get out of whack from hard outside asphalt/ground. I am happy to report that the run outside was amazing! My mom came with me, and we jogged/walked/ran a 3.5 mile trail. I only recorded 3 miles, however.

I've had my BEST time yet with 5K! Not a "great" time: 37:00. But you know what? I'm OK with this. I had a feeling my outside runs would have a better time that on that blasted treadmill...

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that I purchased the Garmin Forerunner 305 watch. That baby gives me motivation like NO other

I think I'll try to go back to bed for another hour or so. But all I can think about is an egg white omelet?? (whiskey. tango. foxtrot?)
