The New Years Res...

I do NOT like new years resolutions. I don't know why. Yes I do.
I don't like them because I don't need a "Resolution" to be a better me.
O.k maybe with some things...
But I still don't even like the word. I just get irritated when I even type resolution.

I want to be a good me with out the big ringing of the new year. I know I should be all year every year regardless of the res. I make. And I try.

A few things I must try to be better at not starting Jan. 1 {just because its Jan 1} So instead I am starting tomorrow which is Jan 31 and technically not a res. I only have three major things I want to change for me. In order from hardest to least hard for me...

Wake up!!! At a good routine-like-scheduled-time every morn that happens to be maybe the same time Monday-Friday. I strongly feel like this issue I have with the ayem is something that I have inherited and therefor not completely my fault. This is not an excuse to not change it, I know. I must...might keep the pattern going. Remember its not a res. So technically I can bend/ break this promise. I will try not to...Obviously I really hate this one.

Drink more water. This is another one that just really gets to me. I have this addiction called Coke. I have yet to blog about my addiction but I really am a Coca-cola girl. So nine times outta ten Coke trumps water. I could never truly part with my Coca-cola. Just justify it a little with a lot more water...ugh.

Exercise. Plain and simple. {Ha} don't we all want to do this one more. Swimming is my exercise of choice. And Big B and I are starting P90X soon. We plan to do two 90 day rounds of P90X. This will put us in perfect 6 pack shape right before boating season. We will see. The blogging fun to come when P90X starts!!! I am not worried about this one.

You still think your to young?

Yes...Yes I do. I was asked this question recently. It was not so much the question itself but how it was asked. You STILL think your to young to have children? Twenty three friends. Babies will come soon enough and I do want a big family. I always have and so has he. It will work out for us, I know your concerned about it. Thank you for wondering. Ask me a million times. But I will do it on my own terms. This is how I work...

Viper

This Christmas was hard with out our "Big Guy"
It made us grateful for the things in life we do have. Loosing Viper was one of the most difficult things for us this year. We couldn't have asked for a better dog for the six years he was with us. He truly was the best friend any one could ask for. I am thankful we got the opportunity to have him with us for as long as we did.

Bryce and I bought him when we were still in high school. I still don't know how our parents put up with us. We just knew. We knew we would be together. So we bought a dog. He has brought so much joy to our lives. Just three Christmas ago {our first Christmas married} he knocked our tree down and opened all our presents! We had left him in the house and came home to the tree tipped over and wrapping paper everywhere. We were mad at the time but this Christmas with out him, I wouldn't change that memory for the life of me.

You will be missed big fella

The look?

I realized something recently... All of you can relate. We all have one of "these people" in our family. You know. You know.
{The Look}
The {look} you give them as they walk into your Thanksgiving get together, a little late of course {fashionably} And...
Damn
You have been out dressed...again.
Even if your aware of this and you try to out-do-her.
It.just.aint.gonna.happen.
You wait for the moment she arrives like, this year is going to be the year. Where they will have that bad day and show up in their sweats, hair pulled back. Ohhhh NO! Not this year either. She came with her hair did, a much-cuter-than-yours-sweater. Belt to just add to the envy. And the shoes...don't get me started.

SO
Don't judge me...
It is in my blood.

I got {the look}
This was me recently, receiving {the look} And realizing it.

I am a confident person. Ask my mother. She reigns me in a bit. Love you mom. But a few things about me...

I don't care what you think of me.
I like to dress up.
For me {.}
I don't dress up for you. Or him for that matter. Because he tells me I look good when I just woke up with hair that looks like I dipped it into the heart of a tornado! Which I wake up with every.single.morn. Its annoying.
I want to enjoy the shoes I just bought for $5.00 (that hurt just a tiny bit) Still...
I want to enjoy the jeans I just bought that fit so perfectly

SO...When you give {me} the look just know this.

I don't really like to do my hair. But do anyways...for me.
My nails...ALWAYS ten different things. I don't care.
My toes...still sporting Halloween. Whatev

you will see me...

In my grungies at the grocery.
Not doing my hair because... I really don't like to do it
At the thanksgiving get together in my sweats...
At the mall in a hat

I am an all or nothing kinda girl. All out. Or not.
And I.don't.care
And I like me.
Either way. And so does he. This is why I love him so much.
And...
{the look} you give me doesn't bother me. I know it is not completely my fault I like the things I do... :)

Shoes....

i.LOVE.them...obsessively.






Hello! Can you say STEVE MADDEN!!! Yes friends...$5.00
Would you have believed me without a pic? Say hell0 to the newest addition to my shoe family!



FIVE doll hairs!!! For each pair!
$8.01 for them both because duh I had to sign up for the famous footwear rewards thingy...(It was free Bryce!)

Oh they are so cute and make me so happy! I LOVE that I wear a 6.5 so beautiful clearance shoes fit me! I tell Bryce all the time that I just have.to.have.them. Bless his heart sometimes he just doesn't get it. (Maybe because he hears the have.to.have spill all the time?) He loves me and my shopping obsessions. Seriously how could a girl leave them there?

Some things are not worth the fight

Bryce: Babe...What do you think if I grow my Go-T out?
Me: Ya sure...whatev....



He flat irons it....Yes...Ya...hmmm.... yep
with my little travel flat iron



Wait its almost ready....





And Ready....It has been-a-growin since June...

Whatev...





I love this pic. Underneath all the facial hair you can see his confidence.
One of the biggest reasons I love him. He is the most confident person I know.
He is so simple.

I love you babe...facial hair and all

I love you Jonny...

I LOVE...LOVE...Johnny {Even when he wears make-up}
I can't wait for Alice and Wonderland to come out in March. I will be there opening night with Kylee. When she first told me about this movie I was SO excited! And of course she is reading the book first... Alice in wonderland is a favorite Disney Movie of mine. Brings out the dark side in me or something....Ha! {Don't ya think its kinda dark in a weird way?} Anyways...found a blog template that is perfect until the movie comes out!!!

So...

I am obsessive... There I admitted it. I think this is actually my biggest disadvantage in life. This stupid thing called obsession...
I know how I want it to be... I really do see the vision. (Really, its like a real picture in my mind) But I want it so perfect and I don't want to disappoint myself that I just don't do anything. And this is the case with A LOT of things in my world. Even little things like this blog. I spend hours looking at yours. And get that jealous why-cant-my-blog-be-as-good-as-yours-feeling. And I am not a jealous person. But what do I do...Well I don't blog.

What a dumb attitude.

I am changing it right now.

I am not perfect
I really don't know how to make my blog look like yours. Oh but it will...eventually

It does not have to be perfect right now. Oh but it will be...I will figure it out. I always do.

That nail design will go from my mind to my brush.

How else am I to better myself?

I am also really weird and a tiny bit compulsive about a lot of other things, but that is definitely another post....
