.... I do....
Secretly, I re-live my wedding day over and over in my head at least once a day. I really miss it, and I really miss the excitment and planning. Friends tell me that I should look into being a wedding planner because I am the only one they know of that enjoyed it. ha!
I loved coordinating the colors and decor, making the smallest details set apart as our own. Everything had to be “perfect”. And in the end, when it’s all said and done, it’s not the material things that matter ….. although they do help paint a nice background in the picture.
I remember seeing sparkles and stars as i walked down that asle.
It’s not all about flowers and cake, or how much money you spent or should have spent. You know what it’s about.
Love.

Yep, I’ve pretty much been that as of late. Not that I’ve been at a lost for words…. however, I was that a week or two ago. I’m pretty much over it now. I got the answers I needed… the end. :D
Here’s an update:
Work has been awefully slow. Hopefully, the summer time will bring in more work.
Puppy is doing great! We enrolled her at training classes at PetSmart. Her second class is tomorrow night.
We had a GREAT time in Mississippi this past weekend. With as often as we go, we should invest in some property or a condo!
Remember a while back I said I would go through my closet? Well, it never happened. I procrastinate to the point that I don’t even accomplish what I want to do. Although I did take out more things, it’s still not 100% done. A summertime shopping trip is coming up, I need more closet space.
Now, back to your regular-scheduled program….

I have a habit of biting my cuticles for no reason. This has got to stop. It’s putting a hurting on my figures, plus, it’s not very attractive. Blah.
It took everything out of me, but I actually went to the gym yesterday. Before the wedding, you can find me at the gym 4 days a week…. sometimes five. I am the type of the person that wants to see results after a day, even though I know that’s not possible, and not a realistic goal to set. So I end up giving up after a few days. This is day two for me. So far, so good!
This weekend is yet another little get away. Take a wild guess as to where.
If you guessed Biloxi, you are correct!
If you are looking to buy a new cellphone, here’s a little piece of advice: do not get the Samsung Moment. Don’t get me wrong it’s a rad phone, but the battery life sucks. If you can deal with a battery that lasts just 8 hours a day(that’s IF you don’t use the camera feature), then get it.
seems like everyone uses the words
FAIL AND EPIC, its kinda annoying.
(just sayin)
today is one of those days that Ferris Bueller would definately fake sick.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
—C.S. Lewis (via taylorcthomas)
Yay!
Today must be Let’s-Blame-Taryn-For-Stuff-That-Other-People-Did-Years-Ago Day!! Why didn’t anyone tell me?!

Yikes!
I now realize I carry too much extra baggage in my closet. I carry many “I hope” items, and “let’s face it” items. One day, I hope to fit this again. Or let’s face it, I will never wear this again, BUT I will keep it just in case. You know exactly where i’m coming from.
This past weekend, I would pull pieces here and there that I know I will never wear. I ended up with an entire garbage bag full of clothes.
Every time I look at my closet with an intention of going through my clothes, I cringe because I realize how much money I wasted over the years.
When i write a blog about my fashion quest, I feel the need to make a seperate website/blog following my “quest”. It might help other readers who are in the same situation as I am.
Workout routines
I have never been good at making those. What i normally do is legs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Legs Tuesday and Thursday. Abs 5 days a week. I heard that changing up your exercises every two weeks is really helpful. Thing for me is, I can’t think of a lot of exercises for certain muscle areas! I know maybe one or two for that muscle group.
What exercises do you do? What is your routine?
“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.”

I work with a 60-something-year-old lady that NEEDS to retire.

Wow this is bringing back a LOT of jr. high memories.I wish the town I live in had a nice, big gym. You know, the one like on the Balley’s Total Fitness commercial. Or a nice place to run/jog that feels safe and has pretty scenery to keep your mind occupied.
I would love to run/jog outside somewhere nice! Because a treadmill is not for me. I get easily bored which results in me finishing in 10 minutes. I always find myself looking at the minutes, counting down until this boredom is done.
We have a few pieces of equipment at home, but it’s sooo easy to keep putting it. Yeah, I’ll do it later. A little bit later. Then before you know it, bedtime!
I was doing pretty well up until last month. I need to get my ass back into gear! I need some inspiration!!
Okay yeah....
I think I figured out the issue here.
Everyone in the office is too ignorant to do “petty things”… and they like to blame their problem on other people.
I’m goooood.
Why do I feel so guilty for taking a vacation day? I honestly feel like it’s my fault that things went wrong. I hope this passes, because i am about to insult someone.
Back to reality... yuck!
Remember, I requested ONE vacation day. Just one. I returned to work this morning to basically find madness in this office. Every morning, I un-forward the office line from the call center and check the messages. No one in the office was able to figure out how. The color printer wouldn’t print anything for anyone in the office. And the copy machine was making these weird lines on the paper.
So. What does everyone do? NOTHING. They could have called the company that fixes our copy machine. They could have called our IT guy since I was out. And… I only been employed here for 8 months. The majority of the people in this office have been employees for 5+ years. How the heck were things operated before I was here? I’m not trying to toot my own horn, but damn.
What the heck will this office do for an entire week without me in October?
on our way home. we had a much excellent time. however, we froze our asses for the concert. Therefore, didn’t feel like holding a cold alcoholic beverage. Not good.
we both took the day off tomorrow being that it will officially be hubby’s birthday. I asked what he’d like to do. he really wants to go to Cabella’s and the Bass Pro Shop. Guess it will be a sneakers kind of day. Nooo telling how long we will stay in those man stores. But, compromise I shall. he endured many many MAC and mall trips for me.
Wow I’m missin my lil pup. Can’t wait to see her!!
husb and I are up bright and early. you know if there is an outlet mall with over 200 stores I’m making it an all day affair, right?

Chocolate covered raisins
Croissants

Yep, I am DONE.
A word of advice
It’s never too late to shoot for the stars regardless of who you are. So do whatever it takes cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life. Let nothin’ stand in your way cause the hands of time are never on your side.
Also, each day’s a gift and not a given right. Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind.

Better brush up on my powerpoint skillls. Boss’s wife just asked me to help their daughter make a powerpoint presentation on the state of Oklahoma.
She’s in 4th grade!!!
