Audrina

When in college the show, 'Laguna Beach' on MTV was popular, so the girls on my dorm floor freshman year would always get together in one room and watch the new episodes.  After, Laguna Beach was over, we started watching the spin off, 'The Hills'.  It was kind of a tradition to get together for these shows.  Well, if you know anything about The Hills, (or if you don't) the main character is Lauren Conrad and one of her friends is Audrina Patridge.  So, since The Hills is over Audrina now has her own reality show on VH1, which I didn't realize until the other day that she even had her own show.  I decided to check it out this evening....well, as lame as I may be...I actually like it.  I'm a sucker for reality shows and I've kind of followed Audrina for a bit with The Hills.  So, here check it out yourself if you're one to be sucked into these kinds of shows.

Happy Father's Day

Daddy, 

I wish you a happy father's day and thank you for all that you do for me.  You've always treated me like a princess and taught me to never expect less than that from a man.  I couldn't be happier being your little girl and learning all the life lessons you've taught.  I love you!!

Love Always, 

your sweetheart

Wishing all the dads a Happy Father's day!!!!  

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!!

(p.s. I have recently realized, I need to go through old pictures and scan them to my computer so I can use them for a post like this.)

Impatient.....

I don't know about you but, I am absolutely the most impatient person there is in the world.  I just hate waiting, I hate not being in control.  While there are a few things that I am getting impatient with,  there is one thing in particular that I have been waiting and waiting for the past couple days......and that is my friendship bracelet!

I hope to find it in the mail tomorrow so I can share it with you.  I am too excited about it as well as finding out what Brittni thinks of the one I sent to her.

I must say again....I HATE waiting....please bracelet, be here tomorrow!!!

p.s. I loooove the colors going on in this picture. Very bright and colorful.

Play Date with Bryce & Heath

Friday my school was closed for a Family Fun Day, so I spent most of my day visiting with my adorable cousins, Bryce and Heath...

These two are just too cute.  I am excited to see if Bryce will have red hair just like Heath!

Fill in the Blank Friday

{via}

1.   This weekend I am...   planning to make more bracelets, see my BIG Danielle, spend time with C-pher, and visit with two adorable little guys, Heath and Bryce.

2.  My last vacation was...   to New Orleans for a beautiful wedding. It was a great trip, I'd love to go again with C-pher.

3.  My next vacation will be...    to nowhere in particular, but I am hoping to plan something soon. I also want the trip to be with C-pher because we've never gone on vacation together.

4.  My favorite way to relax is...    with dinner and a movie with C-pher. We usually do this every time we hang out. Nothing is better than laying in bed watching a movie with my man.

5.  When vacationing one should always...     look into the area you are going and try to plan a few things to see or do while there, although don't plan EVERY little detail. Also, if you're staying in a hotel, be sure to triple or even quadruple check the room before you check out.

6.  When vacationing one should never...    worry about the little things.  Enjoy yourself, try new things, eat out, learn something, explore everything.

7.  The best part about a vacation is...    the experience of a new place, the fun of getting away, the (hopeful) relaxation, the greatness of coming back home.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Isn't it amazing how....

a song can remind you of a specific moment, a specific person,
a specific smell, a specific feeling,
a specific thought, a specific memory...

Do any of these songs remind you of anything in particular?

Hot Hot Day

{to get full picture affect, click on it}

This is exactly what myself and my pups have been doing on this hot day.  My parents do NOT have air conditioning in the house.  Well, technically we have one window air conditioner in our living room (which we don't use anymore) and it doesn't even work that great.  We use our family room because it has our nice flat screen in it and in that room there are no windows, just a sliding glass door.  Sooo, we can't put our air conditioner in there, and the house is absurdly hot, especially on days like today.  Sleeping is rough because it's too hot for a blanket, let alone a sheet.  Ughh, days like today make me hate that we don't have AC...other cooler days like 70 or 75 the house is usually pretty cool and fans can get the job done....but when it's 90 and above, it's unbearable!

I'm thinking ice cream is going to be a must this summer if it's going to be soo hot!  I need some good ideas to stay cool.....what do you have?

Ohh, Sunday

"There aren't enough days in the weekend." --R.S.

It seems that Sunday comes waaay too fast.  The weekends seem to be a lot shorter than I remember them in college.....oh wait, probably because in college weekends started on Thursday.  Well, this weekend just like the rest has flown by.

What did you do with your lovely weekend?

It's the Frickin' Weekend.....

'bout to have me some fuuunn.  Yea, I'm lame and just quoted R. Kelly.  Now, let's move on.

{via}

Today I have planned to go with C-pher and his family to Detroit, MI for a late lunch/early dinner in Mexican Town.  I'm excited for some good mexican food.  Afterwards, C-pher and I plan to spend the evening with a P90X workout, pool cool-down, and probably a movie...we love movies!

What are your weekend plans?

Ok, Not So Much of a Runner

So, if you remember my post about starting Couch 2 5k.....well let's just say I tried to stick it out as much as I could and I only lasted to Week 2 of the program...granted I did Week 1 for 2 weeks because it wasn't too easy for me.  My problem was not being tired and out of breath....my problem was my calves and shins, they were BURNING and HURTING.  I stretched my legs out soo much before and after but no matter what my calves would feel extremely tight, like "OMG, my muscles are going to tear."  (my exact words to my mom, after a workout)  Soooo, I gave up on running.  I just don't think that I'm meant to run.  Now, don't worry....I didn't give up completely on working out.  I still worked out, just did some other things instead.

Why is working out so boring?  Why do I love food?  Why can't something like getting fit and healthy be easy?  I know.....it's LIFEEE!

Well, this week to change up my workout C-pher and I did P90X Yoga on Monday and another P90X Kenpo workout today.  They have been intense but fun and I feel so good afterward.  I think I am liking these workouts better than my usual....go to gym, cardio and machines (lame).  So, I'm going to give this P90X a try.  A plus is I have C-pher doing it with me, he's so encouraging and I love that we can share this together!

THANKS BABE!! =)
