Freezing on Friday

We have wind chills in the negative 20’s and I can’t handle it. I wanted some snow and I am still thankful for it but I could do without these temperatures. Let’s get to some of our favorite things that happened this week.

I had THREE snow days from work and two half-days! This is what my neighborhood still looks like, although the main roads have cleared up.

This is what we did in the snow (not me of course, unless you think I am an adorable fluffy dog or I live on top of a mountain).

My boyfriend and I decided that we want to start fostering dogs. One at a time of course. I love dogs and I haven’t had one in a long time. I think this will be a great step toward adopting one of our own in the future. Honestly, if I could have the dog in the above GIF I would be satisfied. Such a cutie pie!

Here are some of the crazy, yet funny things the internet created.

It took me a second to figure this one out but when I did.. it was hilarious!

Who makes this stuff up? lol

This one is a bit disturbing, yet still made me laugh. Some of you have epic photo shop skills.

For real though…

Imagine the women trying to do this.. Some things in life just aren’t fair.

I didn’t watch much on Youtube this week to determine my favorite video. I hope you don’t hate me for that. If you are in the path of the latest winter storm please stay safe! It’s gonna be another big one!

My Favorite Friday of all! So far…maybe.

Friday has arrived and as usual, it is looking pretty spectacular from my view. I have had a pretty great week as far as getting things accomplished is concerned. Today is my BFF, Kara’s birthday so of course it is the best day ever!!! Time to hit you with some favorites. This video was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! Will Ferrell just gets me, you know?

I mean, everyone knows how much I love Beyoncé and Will Ferrell; combine the two and I am living the life! Next up, I loved these two blog posts like no one’s business.

Kristen’s post was something that I needed to read this week. It really helped me realize that I need to go ahead and push forward with some of the things I have kept in for awhile out of fear.

Then, through a link-up I found this post by Asia and I knew that I just had to push down those negative voices in my head and get stuff done!

So, yesterday on my blog I made this announcement about a challenge group on Facebook my friend and I have starting on Monday and some T-shirts and Tanks that we designed which are my new favorite!

Last but not least, these are the funniest/best things I found on Instagram this week. We have to start this one off with my boo John Legend and that one guy, Kanye.

They are trying to kill the word ‘fleek’, I’m not sure how I feel about this.

I do this all the time when I am supposed to be watching TV or going to bed.

We were all talking about this during the superbowl! Just to be anywhere on the field during the half-time performance.

I been looking for almost 30 years.. not really looking but you know.

Thanks for hanging in there with me this week as I mainly talked about myself. Hope you have an epic weekend my friends!

#BYEFELICIA, It’s Friday!

Time again to hit you with some favorite laughs stolen straight from Instagram.

#ByeFelicia

I sure do miss my cat, if only I had noticed the warning signs sooner…

The best way to avoid answering someone’s question..

I would be too afraid to actually carry this though..

Sometimes I prefer the streets though, the ground is more level…

Punctuation is everything..

My favorite blog posts of the week from other bloggers are…

What’s in my bag by Krystal over at The Kay Times. I love seeing what other people carry in their bag. It never even matters what it is. I guess I am just nosey.

On Being Unfaithful by Taylor over at The Daily Tay. The title is not what you would think and it is actually a very heart warming post. I love it!

Nutella Oreo Cheesecake by Meagan over at All the Joys. This recipe looks amazing and she did an excellent job breaking down the steps to create this tasty desert. Not to mention, I freakin’ love Oreos!

My new favorite TV Show

I am so happy that it is Friday and I have a lot of exciting plans in the works. I can’t wait to share them with you! Have a great weekend!

My Current Life Confessions

I confess to cutting off a bus as I pulled out of the daycare center to head to work this morning. It wasn’t a school bus, more of a short bus that drives around the downtown area and drops employees off at their buildings.

I confess that every time my coworker tries to talk to me in the morning I deliberately ignore him; but I will talk to other people. He annoys me and after he told me that he was compiling conversations he overhears at work into a book I have decided to keep my mouth shut. Who does that?

I confess to being addicted to Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke or Cherry Pepsi and starting to hate myself for it. My mind just has a hard time saying no because I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, or do meth so I figure, why can’t I just guzzle down some deliciousness that also has the capability to remove corrosion from car batteries?

I confess to being addicted to coloring my hair. I am in love with the red color that we did last time but since it is red it has to be redone again and I am getting anxious about it.

I confess to being an emotional and needy girlfriend right now. My period is coming up so all of my feelings and negative thoughts about myself are on 100 right now. I’ve kept it to myself because even I can’t stand to listen to the nagging. During this time I feel horrible about myself and that no one would ever want me so I turn into a pretty hateful person and require reassurance. At the same time I don’t want to be pitied so I just pout and no one knows what is wrong with me.

I confess that I have also cried everyday since last Friday due to my impending period and the reasons have ranged from a puppy tilting its head in a commercial to Aladdin and Jasmine getting to be married at the end of the movie. (My son has watched Aladdin everyday for the last week)

I confess that I haven’t finished reading the book I purchased, “I am That Girl”, because all of a sudden life got busy. Last night after I did the dishes, prepared lunch for today and tried to get my security system fixed it was 10:00PM. I was tired and decided to watch the episode of Black Ink instead of reading.

What have you been doing behind closed doors that requires confessing?

It’s a Great Day to be a Friday

Thank the lord it is Friday. This week has been so busy for me. Ugh…. Without further delay, it is Friday Favorites time!

My favorite blog posts from other bloggers..

Creating a Budget by Kelsey over at Random Randts. I’ve been working super hard on budgeting this year and the spreadsheet she included in this post is super helpful!

Confronting the Negative Voices by Shannon Nicole. Negative self-talk is my biggest issue. It keeps me from moving forward and Shannon’s post was really eye opening.

Double the Dots by Jasmin over at Jasmin Daily. I love this outfit! Honestly, her daily fashion posts are outfits that I feel like I could put together. Plus she is super sweet.

My favorite internet laughs..

My favorite State of the Union moment that did happen.. (For real though, this needs to be passed I pay $190/week for daycare)

My favorite State of the Union meme… ( I love to say things are “on fleek”)

I hope you have enjoyed this Friday’s Favorites. Hope on over to the link-ups for more fun.

Favorite Laughs, Golden Globes review, Make-up, Youtube Video

It is finally Friday and I am ready to get out of here and enjoy the three day weekend that lies ahead of us. It has been awhile since I’ve done Friday Favorites so let’s get to it!

Favorite funnies from Pinterest.

Pretty sure Usher didn’t quite have this in mind…

Except my coworkers want to tell me about their lives but its too early to hear about other peoples problems.

How did this even happen?

Favorite Golden Globes fashion review

New Favorite Products

Since I am coloring my hair red I wanted to try a different color protecting shampoo and conditioner. I used this for the first time today and so far I love it.

I received this Primer as a sample product and it keeps my face from getting oily most of the day while keeping these pores little. I love it!

This youtube video made me laugh so hard! Seriously. Imagine if we really moved that quickly and had those mousey voices all the time! I love it.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have an excellent Weekend!

Not so fitness

Tuesdays were the days that I was posting about fitness. Well, in case you haven’t noticed someone has been a bit of a slacker in many aspects of life. And by someone I mean the person typing this blog; and that person would be me. So I worked out a solid one time last week and it was epic! Yay, Christina ate a ton of unhealthy food at the 4 billion Christmas parties at work and then busted out a 45 minute workout to try and balance out life. If I am correct the scoreboard should look a little something like this.

Christina 1 – Calories 120,000

I think that pretty much sums up how I feel about getting any workouts in the last week and a half. It kind of makes me feel a bit sad but then a wise man told me…

I mean, that’s a pretty valid point. So then I got to thinking of a resolution to my issue with food and working out lately and I came up with an incredible idea.

Honestly, isn’t returning something you did not end up liking as much as you thought you would part of the America way? After all of this thinking I really needed to use the restroom (I learn my greatest lessons in the bathroom).

After this I was in the best possible mood and ready to conquer life. I was especially thankful that all of my horrible eating had not yet translated into breaking the scale. This also means that my poor fitness and health decisions are happening at the perfect time. I feel a resolution coming on in a week or so! Happy Tuesday/Eve of Christmas Eve

Basketball, life and funny stuff

It’s safe to say we had a pretty good time at the UofL Basketball game, minus the times when they team was just not really doing anything. They were able to pull out a win which is nice.

We also like to sit way at the top because of the baller status that we currently have. Contrary to popular belief, the rich people sit at the top and the broke people sit courtside. We are too valuable to risk a loose ball to the face or a hustle play that results in being tea bagged by your favorite athlete. If you notice, the security guard that took the picture didn’t want my son to be in the picture.

After the game we took another lovely picture with the Christmas trees. My son decided it was time to try and escape during this picture. He wanted to go play on the court, I don’t blame him.

Here is a bit of advice for me. I may expound upon this later in the week but for the moment its just something to consider.

They know their roll and better never try to leave my side!

Now, I shall leave you with something that gave me a pretty big laugh on Instagram this morning…

I really don’t cure that often but I don’t know that any other wording would have made it as hilarious! Thanks for reading this post as I know that it was a bit of a mess. Have a great week!

Life Update/Instagram Laughs/YouTube Laughs

There are only 15 days left until Christmas and about 22 days left until it will be the year 2015! I am pretty much ready for Christmas to get here because I hate having a gift for someone and not being able to tell them what it is. I am more excited to give people the gifts that I have for them than I am about what gifts I will be receiving. It is like torture for me to hold it in and not say anything. I still have some gifts that I plan to make but since I’m a huge slacker, I haven’t made it to the store to buy the supplies. Cheers to the procrastinator in me.

I am starting to focus my goals for the new year and will announce those once it gets closer. They are not anything out of the norm for me. This will be my first year with a blog to help hold me accountable. I still have my goals from last year so I will be able to share those and how I did on them for the year.

For some reason whenever I sit down to write a blog post my mind is all over the place. Yesterday I wrote four or five drafts and never managed to get anything together that was worthy of posting for the world to read. I’ve been a bit out of sorts lately so my mind seems to jump from topic to topic while swinging from one emotion to another. You can say that things have been a little rambled in my brain lately.

I get a little more than a week off during Christmas from work so hopefully that will allow me to reset and get my mind right. On a lighter note, here are some Instagram funnies for your Wednesday morning enjoyment.

And some YouTube Laughs.

Friday Favorites: Laughter Edition

The internet is a funny place. Here are some things to make you smile this Friday morning/afternoon/evening or whenever you are actually reading it. If you are ever feeling low just google “Celebrities without teeth”, It is always hilarious!

Buzzfeed even did an article about it. No matter how sad I am, this is always one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

This is how I like to spend my Friday’s at work, well except last Friday when I worked the entire time and cleaned my desk like nobody’s business.

When a church is trying a bit too hard to be hip.

Wouldn’t this be the best laugh if you saw this in real life!

Look at us, still alive and stuff….

Sometimes it is like this though…

Finally, if only this happened more often…

Finally, enjoy this Buzzfeed video “If guys worried about the things girls do”
