Jen Lancaster- If You Were Here

I have fantastic friends that like my taste in books. Probably because we think alike. Like they say "Great minds think alike!"  When I worked with Charli, we both became obsessed with Chelsea Handler. Charli came across Jen Lancaster when she and I were downloading the Chelsea Handler audio books to our iPhones. Low and behold we fell in love (with Jen's books..) So we added Jen to our audio books collection. Steph is also a fan of Jen! (as well as a Chelsea fan) 
Steph and I took a rd trip into Dallas (last minute planning) to get our books signed by Jen! My first book signing. It was VERY exciting!  
Jen's first novel

Steph and I waiting in line @ Barns & Noble in Dallas to get our books signed!


Meeting Jen...she doesn't know it yet, but we are best friends :) 
I have Jen's autograph! AND she spelt my name right!



I highly recommend reading all her books!

For the life of me, I can not get on a regular sleep pattern. It's really messing with me. Once school gets started I think I will be able to manage my sleep time better. Lets hope at least. I have always been a night owl. I am just grateful that I am not sleeping the entire day away. What a waste of a day to sleep through it. I go to bed really late, but I seem to wake up at a decent time, for an unemployed person. I wake up, run my errands, clean and do laundry. I've noticed lately that I've gotten into changing outfits several times through out the day. I don't know why. Im not trying to impress anyone, I don't have anywhere really important to be. It's causing me to have to do a lot of laundry. I know, I find it very strange too. BUT I have also cleaned out my entire closet and reorganized EVERYTHING. My clothes are arranged by color, style and season. There is no such thing as clutter in my room because I have also cleaned organized and dusted my room along with my bathroom. I have nothing else to clean or organize and now I don't know what I'm going to do about next week. :-/ Netflix and I are becoming really close buddies. I have managed to blog and write more! My next project is getting my video blog up, I've tried a couple test runs, but I cant keep a straight face. I really wish I could be a little more serious. Im working on it.

I got to see the dress that I will be wearing in my friends wedding. I'm a little nervous. I, for one, dont like wearing dresses. We aren't wearing shoes. But we do have 'foot jewelry'. Thank goodness because I don't think sand and heels are a good combo. I'm sure I will still manage to fall and face plant into the sand. The sand will catch my fall? Im clumsy enough as it is on flat surfaces. Ashley's dress is beautiful and I cant wait to watch her walk down the aisle. I've watched so many of my friends meet and marry the man of their dreams. Tonight I came home to a frog sitting in the drive way. I pondered the thought to run over him, drive around him or pick him and kiss him...not so much...he hopped away before I could get to him. But i did manage to capture a picture of him! In reality there's no way I would even touch him. I was nervous even when I was taking his picture because I feared that he was going to hop towards me...


After making sure my frog friend was out of harms way, I noticed that there was another frog not far from him! EVEN this frog already had another frog lover.

My mood was lifted once I got inside the house where I found  my Skin-It cover for my iphone had finally arrived!
I now have the most coolest iphone EVER!


Can life get any better? I think not! :)



On another note:
I marked something off my checklist, unintentionally of course..
#79937: running down Glade pushing a car on a saturday before lunch.


I will never understand men and their love of cars. Especially cars that are older than dirt.
Dont ask me what kind of car this is or what year it is...because I have no idea. Just like men will never understand women and their love of purses, shoes, jeans and make-up. It is what it is.
 I just wanted to go to subway for lunch. So we jumped into this...

The car decided to die in the middle of the road. Pushing this thing was not easy. And it was horribly embarrassing running behind the car while traffic is piling up because of us. Lets not forget that I still have a bum ankle. I was a trooper and we were able to push the thing into the walgreens parking lot. I will not be working out for the next 2 weeks.

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...
Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
