5 on Friday

Friday on a short week that felt extra long? Yeah, I had one of those! Its just cramming 5 days into 4 for ya! But here are my 5 great things about this week this Friday!

1} This Face! How can you not just want to curl back up in bed when this face stares at you while you are getting ready for work?

2} My City Group Family and babies! Was good to have the core group (plus two sweet baby girls) back together this week. Nothing beats baby giggles and Jesus ya'll!

3} This is the story of my life! Rough day? Wanna relax? Watch Monuments Men on TV? Add two furballs and this is my Thursday night!

4} Date Night! Yup, I got one tonight! Don't know the details, but its sure to be great!

5} Memorial Day! I have the best friends, who have the coolest family who know how to party! This was a little ladder golf action Monday right before all I had to do was just drop the thing on the ground to win and instead it jumped up and racked up a point over 21....

5 on Friday

Thank you everyone for all your kinds words about yesterday's post I reshared. I will share the second half next week. Its truly inspiring to know you all care.

Thank you Friday. Thank you for ending my week and making we have two days where I can sleep in be up and at em again. Today I bring you a public service 5 on Friday. So, single guys, guys who think they are single, or men who want to date women,  this is for you. Today its the 5 stupid things men do while trying to date you.

1. Suddenly Reappear. Yes, I went on a couple dates with a guy last year right after the D. Super nice, smart, good looking, and we had a ton in common. Then he just was too busy, not in town, and then disappeared. Well, couple months later he was back. Explained away his MIA and we hung out. Then, boom! Again. Now, several months later he is back. Seriously dude, you.missed.the.chance. Don't say now you want to be with someone, settle down etc... you just suck at this.

2. The creeper. He asks his friends about you. He randomly texts you and facebook messages you. He asks how you are doing and comments on things he sees you doing via facebook and instagram. Did I mention he is in his 50's? Dude, get the hint, and quite creeping on me. Its just weird and pathetic.

3. The, I just got out of a relationship, but I am ready to date, but I will not actually commit to a date, guy. Hear me: YOU ARE NOT READY! If you were, you would have asked me like a zillion times by now, stalked me and possibly sent something. Point is, you are hesitant because you are not sure, and that's ok, just own it.

4. Mr. Player. You come across like a nice guy, but you aren't. You ask me out once or twice and then its all come over and "watch a movie" let's "relax in the hottub". Its all after 10pm, at your house and well, guess what? I know you have dinner plans with someone else because I saw you. And, no I do not want to get into anything you own, including your sess pool hottub where I am sure numerous STDs are hanging out.

5. He doesn't call. Sure, he likes you, seems interested, but doesn't call, text, facebook, anything. Yet, he totally wants to meet for drinks. Not chasing you dude (but let's be honest, we totally find a way to text them, because face it, he's cute and women are dumb).

I could go on and on, like the guy who only wants to go to bars, or meet up with his friends or asks you out for sushi when you have said nine times you hate it. So men, just be normal, plain ole you. She will either like it or not, but don't be weird, creepy,  MIA, etc... If you like her tell her, show her. If you don't be honest, but don't drag it out, because that is why women are crazy... MEN! Sure glad I don't have to deal with this anymore.

5 on Friday

Happy Friday ya'll! I'm off to the Texas Hill Country with my besties for Girls' Weekend. Don't you love a good girl's trip? So, today I give you my top 5 favorite memories from this trip in years past!

1. These Cookies - Best cookie ever (seriously, it started a whole text)

2. Dancing at Hondo's in Fredricksburg! We always manage to make new friends, score free drinks and make fools of ourselves!

3. Finding the cutest places and doing things like eating ice cream for breakfast!

4. Late Night Catchphrase games. The later it gets, the crazier we get.

5. Last Friendship & Memories!

On Hold

Linking up with the ladies again for another session of 5 of Friday! Today, I bring the you the 5 things that really annoy me.

1. That cupcakes, bundt cakes, cookies, ice cream, ok you get the drift, have calories. Yup, I know totally sucks. They should be calorie-free treats that fix break ups, bad days, rainy weather, depression and stress.

2. Hang Nails. I mean come on! I take my vitamins, use moisturizing lotion, cuticle oil, heck I even put Neosporin on them and wrap 'em in band-aids! But nope, just keep coming back! And man, I just cannot stop picking at them, biting them, cutting them (hence the band-aids). Its like when you bite your lip and then you keep biting it.

3. Sweating. I mean, really? Must I sweat? Ya no, right in the middle of anything important, i.e. mediation, hearing, conference call...

4. Slow drivers. I mean, seriously, the speed limit says 40, go 40! Not 20, 30 or 35, not even 39 go 40 people. I have better things to do than watch you piddle around trying to figure out that you can turn left on a red at a one way street, or that in fact, no you can longer go down Main Street through Sundance Square. See, that little peddle thing  next the brake your foot is currently riding, is call the gas, use it!

5. Being "on hold." As in, I have currently been on hold for 35 minutes with no hope of  being heard before this office closes. So, I will sit patiently listening to the nice lady tell me she apologizes that all agents are currently helping other customers and for me to please hold and my call will be handled soon.

5 on Friday

Oye vey! Its Friday. As in start of the weekend, lil chilly start, but high of 72 Friday. Linking up with the lovely 5 on Friday ladies and here we go:

1. In one week, I get to finally meet IRL Jenn & P!nky!!! Umm yes, this epic blate of blates is happening and I get to celebrate Jenn's nuptials! I am beyond excited. And its my first time in DC and I have been in extra need of a little getaway.
2. Stress, as in its about to do me in. Yesterday, for instance, I was doing fine, hanging in my office trying to get some work done, when bam! You know that feeling you get, watering mouth, hot flash, lightheaded, and yup off I ran to the bathroom. And I had to use the 3rd floor since our ladies' room was out. And the contents of my stomach swirled away in the belly of the 3rd floor porcelain goddess. With that, I sent myself home. I don;t know if it was food related, stress related or a combo of both, but today I'm at work, but glad the 2nd floor potty is back in action.
3. Sunshine. So after I woke up from my I just upchucked sleep, I looked outside and it was gorgeous. I thought perhaps some fresh air would help and some vitamin d. So I walked my butt outside with my laptop to try to work. It was gorgeous, Happy sun, warmth on my face.... yeah I made it 1.5 second before the quesiness came back and I walked by my butt back inside, but man that few seconds felt great!
4. I have been on the perfect shoe hunt. I need some good summer shoes that can take me from office to out and I just cannot find what I want. I just cannot get into the block chunk heel that is apparently in right now. It just looks so heavy, and clunky and well not me. Anyone with me? Anyone found a great summer shoe that just think I need?
5. Easter. It may just be my favorite holiday. Ok, it is my favorite. I love that it in Spring, little girls in frilly dresses, hats and gloves, pearls. I love egg dying and egg hunting. I love Easter baskets and still make them and like to get one. I love Easter vigil, all things about the coming of Christ, the Resurrection and the Ascension. Its just my kinda day. Do you have any Easter traditions?

That's it ya'll. Sorry been so sparse this week.

5 on Friday

I' m going to be brief today, well because I have barely had a second to myself, spent my whole week  feeling like I was spinning my wheels, and my throat hurts. So before this lil night night pill take effect, I give you my 5 on Friday.

1. SPRING - As in finally arrived in Texas! It was indeed almost 90 here yesterday! YAHOO

2. I see this every morning on my lovely 5 minute commute. But sometimes I just wish I could drive right up that ramp and let that tow-truck  man take me to work. Random party of 1 I know.

3. Sophie's anniversary of becoming a part of the family! Yup, my little snuggle bug has been with me for a year!

4. Fort Worth Food & Wine Festival - Le guy and I are heading out to one of the event's tomorrow. Its called Burgers, Brews & Blues. Let's just say he is excited for the brew and me the burgers....

5. Bagels. I have a problem. I like them. And they are just so easy and scrumptious and on my way to work. I like them all (ok so I may not like the one with cheese on it) But its not the best way to start my am, ya know all those carbs.... but man so good, so easy, so warm and toasty covered in smear.... Yeah, its just perfect.

Happy Weekend ya'll!

5 on Friday

It's Friday! Its supposed to be 80 here today and well this week managed to turn out alright! Like...

1. March Madness - This is the first year in forever I am not a basketball widow. Yup! Nope man has deserted me for Vegas to watch copious hours of basketball in a smoky casino sports book with his BFF. Nope, I filled out my bracket, by myself, (not that Ohio St. or Cincinnati did me much help) and I don't plan on watching one solitary moment of basketball!

2. I came home to these babies on my doorstep! Made my little heart so happy. What is better than flowers? Flowers from one of your BOFF!

 3. Lattes, when I can make them from the comfort of the Keurig in our office kitchen.... I love the Gevalia mocha lattes!

ignore that my mousepad is nasty we had a coffee incident

4. SPRING! As in its finally looking like its lovely face will stay for more than 24 hours! Rain, shine, as long as its above 32!

5. Food! Yup, its amazing. This is perhaps the first time since hmm 2006 that I have just not worried so much about food. Yes, I watch what I eat, and only indulge when it matters, but I do not count every calorie, look at every fat gram, weigh myself 3-4 times a day, and oh I eat! Like 6 times a day. Its freeing to not see food as the enemy anymore! I let myself splurge every once and while, don't shame run 4 miles when I eat bread or dessert.... Who knew life could be so good and I would actually look better than I did 10 pounds ago!

5 on Friday

Today I want to share something special with you all. As I approach the 1 year mark of the Big D, I am reminded of how far I have come. However, I know I would not have made it without some important people. So, today I share with you 5 of the most influential people in my life the past year.


1. V&D - yeah they can count as 1.I have had the unconditional love and support of these two people for well with V as long as I can remember and with D since I was 18. They have shared my ups and downs, triumphs and sorrows, the good, the bad, the ugly. They are there to give me the truth, even when I don't want to face it.

2. Aunt K. Its funny to think I used to be scared to death of this woman! I mean literally scared the snot right out of my young little nose. But she is someone I have grown to respect. She challenges me to think and act far beyond my wildest dreams. I have grown to look forward to our monthly lunches and I know that even when I don't tell her, she knows what is really going on in my head.

3. KW or K as I think I have called her. This woman is awesome. She is truly the epitome of what it means to be a lady, a Christian and a friend. She has walked with me through so much of my professional life and now has been a steadfast guide as I have renewed my walk with Christ and ventured into the unknown of being single again. She is a listening ear, a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on and the speaker of truth. God truly knew what He was doing when He put us both in that summer clerkship.

4.My guy friends. I know this sounds silly, but I have been gifted some pretty awesome men in my life. Some I had had for ever, others since law school and others have made their way into my life via other avenues. But, they have been wonderful. From sweet texts of encouragement, to reminding me that I am still worthy and beautiful, to mowing the lawn, fixing stuff, sending flowers (or fruit) to just reminding me that not all men suck.

5. Jenn, P!nky & Jessica. I have developed such a wonderful and unique friendship with these three women via this little piece of the interwebs. Though I have only met Jess in person, and hopefully the other two soon.... They are friends. They know so much about my life and have taken a vested interest it amazes me. They laugh with me, cry with me, share in my joys and sorrows. We have shared a miscarriage, a baby, a wedding, homebuying and soon another wedding. Its more than a superficial commenting, its a friendship.

5 on Friday

Ok, Jessica, you asked what had been up with me? So here are the 5 things I have been up to!

1. Work - as in knee-deep in it. I am like, cornered into my desk via work. But... its a good thing! Work, mean the economy is good ( or people are suing each other) and I am productive! Blessed be the woman who has a job!

2. My nephew is in town and I got to hang out with him... twice! Once at a TCU baseball game with my brother, and then he spent some time in Aunt Lynn's office while my brother had to run an errands. Best lil paralegal ever!

3.  Fixing my house! What's new though, right? I have finally sealed the crawl space, heating element is getting replaced, foundation is being fixed Monday, and we had a light installed in the attic! I  have some big news on this front coming soon, promise.

4. Hair - I needed a change.... but.... I knew I wasn't ready to hack it all off yet. so I did a lil color change. No, not as drastic as December 2012, but  a la ombre-ish. Its my natural blonde on top and then my grown out highlights on bottom with a touch of high light by my face. Hard to tell here, but promise its big change.

5. Babies, weddings, people getting all grown up. I have had so many friend have their babies, about to have their babies, announce they are pregnant... and some that are getting married oh so soon! Yay Jenn! and My lovely friend Sarah! So I am in the jealous, when do I get to get knocked up or get the big ring state... but until then I will pour my heart and soul into my furbabies and someone special.

5 on Friday

Well hello there lover Friday. Just a couple more hours to Happy Hour with my girl, dinner with our guys and a bittersweet goodbye to one of our Bunco Beauties! But until then, here is what I am digging this Friday.

1. Fashion By Mayhem - Have you seen this little girl and her uber chic paper dresses? If not you totes need to follow her on the 'ole insta-g @2sisters_angie. I mean the sheer adorableness is enough for me, but the dresses and that cute little girl 'tude, I die!

2. Arbonne Eye Cream - A sorority sister of mine sells Arbonne and sent me a 5-day trial pack and I am in love with the eye cream. I will do a full review of the entire RE9 Advanced^® skin care line next week, but the eye cream, goodbye fine lines, hello flawless!

3. My guns - as in those attached to my arms.... as in which way to the gun show people? I have been really focusing on strength lately and I'll tell ya, these guns, well you better watch out!

4. The weather, er well, I did, but then again now its hot again... - yeah so I have decided that Texas' bi-polar weather allows me to indulge in every set of clothing choices everyday of the week...

5. Crockpot Meals - yup, 31 years old and digging the crockpot. Its my Sunday go-to for meals. Just pop it in, head to church and then yumminess for all!

Have a stupendous weekend ya'll, I'll make sure to share some fun from my HH!

5 on a Friday

Its Friday! Today I give you the 5 things that have made my life stressful this week:

1. Oversleeping/No Alarm - I have done this twice this week! I look up and bam its 7:05 and I get to work at 7:30.... Ensue complete panic. Throw dogs outside, stand in front of closet hmmm, and in my mind I'm yelling "JUST PICK SOMETHING!" Throw on make-up run straightener through hair, grab coffee and something edible at 7-11 and rush into work at 7:47. I mean no one is sitting with a clock seeing what time I get in to my office (there are actually only like 4 people in my office that early). But its MY TIME. I get so much done between 7:30 and 8:30 when the office officially opens. I also then tend to eat crap. Like the bagel and today the breakfast sandwich, (In my defense I asked for the egg white on whole wheat and they have me regular, I ate it)

2. Emergency Filings - Ya know when you get a new case assigned and realize the answer deadline is ya know today... and you rush to pull the Petition and then draft an answer, special exceptions, affirmative defenses and a general denial in about 2.5 seconds.... thank goodness for copy and paste

3. My escape artist Sophie - she has been scaling the baby gate again. I bought a new one and bam Monday and Tuesday I come home to puppy in the living room. I do not know how she does it,  but she does... and then cannot get back over and then spends who knows how long chilling on the couch (or in my closet). She got a stern talking to Wednesday and was behind the gate last night. We will see how long it lasts.

4. The ever-changing weather: This weekend it was 72 today its 18 degrees currently.... My body, sinuses, wardrobe just do not know how to cope. Figure it out mother nature!

5. My "To-Do" List....As in the work one... its long, which is good! But none of the stuff on it is lawyer sexy... no motions for summary judgment or briefs or deposition prep, nope! Just letters, research, client calls to make, scheduling  mediations... which are all good things and lead to sex lawyer stuff. But I am not as motivated as I was last week prepping for trial...

That's it! Here's to next week....

5 on Friday

Happy Friday all!  Here are 5 random things about my life lately!

1. Diet - I say that meaning I am getting back on my healthy eating kick. I prepped my lunches Sunday (grilled chicken, veggies, and spinach salad); have been drinking my protein shake post workout with a banana, off days are egg whites and turkey bacon, snacks include greek yogurt & hummus & carrots, and a sensible dinner (i.e. protein + greens). I admit its been hard at times because I want bread or a cookie,  but I am trying. My goal is not so much weight loss and feeling better.

2. Work - I have trial next week. Well , I did have trial next week. We have been prepping and preparing and making plans and then BAM, settled last night. Hear the angels singing. But I admit its also a let down as I really wanted to get my first big trial under my belt. Oh well, there is always the one set for the end of this month.

3. My House - its trying to bleed me dry. Plumbing, roof, windows, now my dishwasher decides it wants to poop out. WTF

4. Babies - no, no no, not me... Everyone else. I mean there is not a facet of my life not touched by pregnant ladies. My friends are sprouting like watermelons! I am excited yes, but I would be lying if I didn't tell you all I am a tad jealous. I mean, girl is dying to be a mommy here, but I know God has a plan and I will just have to wait and see what he reveals to me.

5. My brain - I think its dying. Lately, I am a jumbled, hot-mess of words. I mix up words, transpose words, try to put two words together to form new ones... I just cannot form coherent sentences. I blame the lack of sleep, overstressed me. I think this weekend there shall be a nap... and Le guy and I decided we need some fun so I asked him what he wanted to do... He said (with a comical "if this goes wrong I will pull it off as a joke" voice) the zoo?! I was like OMG, yes! Fort Worth has a great zoo and its supposed to be 72 here Saturday, so I was like baby elephants, what? So we planned a lovely stress free afternoon (after he gets off work) to meander among the animals and then head to a local place to get some grub, a drink and enjoy the day.

That is my life in a nutshell ya'll! Have a super duper weekend and get out and do something!

5 on Friday

TGIF!! This week has seemed like an eternity! Perhaps it was the end of icemagdedon or the anticipation of Christmas or that I'm just so over this year, but I am so ready for the weekend! So, link up and let's see what 5 things have me going this week!

1) My little family - I mean who can resist those furry faces? You know when they wake you up at 5 to pee or just snuggle closer when its cold? These girls are my loves, always.

2) That in less than 2 weeks, I will have celebrated my first Christmas away from home. Yup, I am heading n
orthward to spend this holiday with the snowflakes of Ohio!

3) I'll take 46 over 26 any day of the week....

4) I have had a rough couple weeks with work and life and my house with no heat... so today I am treating myself to a much-needed massage. If you need me after 5pm I'll be relaxing away!

5) The topknot - I have been trying to master this for about 6 months now. This is not a great picture, but I have layered hair and all the little whispy pieces fall out all the time... I finally got it all up this morning and not looking like a tiny donut hole! I feel very Audrey today with my turtleneck, crop pants, topknot...

What's got you going this Friday?

Thankful Friday 5

I have jumped on the bandwagon and decided to let you know 5 things I thankful for this Friday:

1) My furbabies!! Yes, these two lil girls are my world. As much as they can annoy the every living who-ha out of me sometimes, they are loving, kind and just well ya know make my day.

2) My patchwork quilt of a family. I am super, way beyond blessed to be loved by so many people who well, don't have to. Between V&D, Aunt K, my church folk, my "sister" Tay, Law school Tay, my BFF from high school and BOFF, and a hoard of other people, my family is just one giant patchwork quilt of love and support.

3) Baton Twirling: Ya, I know seems strange, but twirling not only taught me so many lessons in life, it brought so many  of the people I love into my life as well (i.e. V). The sport of baton twirling truly prepare young men and women for life beyond their competitive days. NBTA is a huge family and strives to getter better each year. So, hug a baton twirler, ask your high school band director to let a twirler take the field and cheer on those collegiate twirler every Saturday.

4) Winter: Yup, I am in love with Winter. It brings a smile to my face, a twinkle to my eye and puts love in my heart.

5) 2013: As much as this year has brought trial and tribulation, it has also brought me into a place I wasn't sure I would ever get to. I am thankful this year has come, but will be thankful when its gone. In 2013 I bought my first house, found a church home, got Sophie, took on more at work, grew my hair out, renewed friendships, started over, and found my voice.

P.S. I am thankful for all of you. You have been so supportive and loving to me this year as I went through heck and back and began my life again. Your words of encouragement are a constant beacon of light in my heart. Blessed beyond words!

What are you thankful for this Fabulously winter Friday?

5 on a Friday

Ok, so this has been the slowest week ever and my body just wants to get sick. I have been fighting exhaustion since last week.... So, here's my 5 on this Friday....

1) Fort Worth's Most Beautiful - Have you voted? Did you vote? You can (and should) vote everyday! And if you ever wanted to know what I sound like, watch the video... its rather funny to hear myself talk (aka I sound 12). Thanks y'all!



2) No football... I know this sounds crazy as I love me some Horned Frog Football, but I need a break. They kinda engulf your weekend and then I am left to do everything Sunday. So a day of no plans sounds awesome.

3) Colder Weather - Can we talk about the morning low of 39 in the Fort yesterday? Yes, 39! I turned on the heat, curled up with blankets and fuzzy socks and  didn't want to get out of bed. It was glorious!

4) My Fitness Regime - So, I mention I was started back with my am workouts and adding in some hot yoga. It has been a small adjustment, but I love being able to come home after work and  making dinner and just enjoying the evening with my pups and le guy. I live so close to the gym so its silly to not just go in the am. I mean people I literally can see it from my house (ok well, not see but pretty much, see its .9 miles)


View Larger Map

5) My Door - as in the one to my house... yeah I am at war with it. I got home last night after running to the store to grab supplies for sausage pasta bake and homemade pizza (Saturday's meal) and put my key in my lock and nothing. Yup, it would not open. It would turn to the left as if I was locking it, but not the right. I could not get it open. I then proceeded to go to the back gate and could not get it open either. It was stuck. I climbed up to try to unlock it and nothing. I was standing there, in my suit and heals, in the cold locked out of my house. After several tries and choice words I phoned le guy, who was at the gym. So I called my good friends Catie and Frank and it was Frank to the rescue. How showed up with DW-40 and another guy from our church and they were just as stumped as me. We proceeded to kick in the dog door to rescue me from the outside. Needless to say, I met said guy from our church with mascara pouring down my face and in a state of sheer exhaustion (oh well). But I am truly blessed to  have friends in my life who come to aid. (Le guy was so apologetic and super sweet when he finally came over, poor guy just did not know what he signed up for with  me).

So, enjoy Friday, if you need me I'll be lawyering for food til 5!

Freaky Friday

Or not so freaky since that was last night.... and I missed all the trick-or-treaters.... I blame my hair appointment. But let me tell you those kids still don't care if your light is off they will try anyway... Just because I have pumpkins and a sign does not mean I am home and want to give you candy, which I have none of... dogs treats or a turkey sandwich? But I digress, its Friday and the weekend is oh so close so here is my edition of 5 on Friday!

1) Friends! - Can I get an Amen for good friends? I mean the kind that call/text/email/instant message & meet you for breakfast or lunch just to see how you are doing? I am beyond blessed with some wonderful women in my life who just constantly seek my heart and want to love me well. Shout out to all the girlfriends of the world.  Call yours today and tell them how much they mean to you.

2) TCU Annual Pink-Out Game - This weekend is my alma mater's pink out game and I just love it. My mom is  breast cancer survivor, so this is a special game for the two of us. We were featured in TCU's video my first year of law school and every year we have shared this game as a reminder of where she was and where she is now. Love you mom!

2008 Pink Out Game

3) Clark Weekend - Also a TCU fav of mine! Its all about thanking the wonderful donors who make TCU the institution it is! Each year TCU hosts a weekend where donors get to party down and raise money for a wonderful scholarship. This year's theme is a Mystery Dinner (nope can't say murder mystery at the Christian university). I get to see wonderful friends and the people I used to work with and have a wonderful night!

4) Fall - Its starting to actually feel like fall  here. As in its 49 degree at 7am and I can wear tights.... and boots... and scarves... and leggings are my best friend! I don't know about you,  but I love the its just lil cold in the am when you step out of bed and want to run back in to warm your feet!

5) Critter Eradication - I have not seen or heard (knock on wood) from my unwelcomed house guests since the Tuesday event. I do not know if they are scared to death or just dead, but let's hope they have moved out! Meanwhile, pretty sure one made its untimely demise in my wall... know how to remove decay smell? (gross I know).

Anywhoodle y'all... its Friday enjoy the weekend, enjoy the weather and Go Frogs!

5 on Friday

Yeah, I have jumped on the bandwagon of 5 on Friday today....

1. Summer Sales - Lord, seems like everyone is having a sale. Loft, Banana, Gap (yeah I know all three are owned by the same people) J. Crew... you name it, my stores are on sale. I know its their clear out the summer clothes for fall sale, but here in Texas, its summer til er October, so its like stocking up for summer part 2. Shorts, crops, tanks, cotton dresses... this girl is in heaven (my pocketbook is not) (yes I just said pocketbook like my cute grandmother in PA).

2. Circuit Workouts - I have been so into these lately. I just have not had the motivation to go to the gym, but I still want to workout. I have been trying all kinds of workouts posted on instagram, twitter, pinterest... I have mapped out the perfect 1/2 mile route in my neighborhood and it allows me to do sprints, run, etc.. in between the circuits. My body has been loving this mix up. Granted, I still have not been great on my diet (hello Thursday Mexican food) but oh well! There is always Monday to get back on the bandwagon. (I actually blame my secretary who brought me the most delish banana-oat muffin from central market yesterday and I swore I was not going to eat it, fail)

3. Resolve - Yeah I know I blogged about this yesterday,  but its amazing. Just realizing that life is what it is and you can't do much to change it has enlightened me. I am just enjoying each day and trying to channel my inner chi. Seriously though, the less I worry, the better I feel (not that I won't worry or have a typical OMG girlie moment where I send a disjointed text or my ever favorite "are you mad at me?" or some variation of the "I so hope I didn't screw that up and you now think I am a crazy person" text).

4. Fruit - Yup I know I had the tainted water/fruit thing, but I just love summer fruits. We has an amazing watermelon at group Wednesday and well it just makes me want to eat a whole one. Now, if I could just only eat fruit I would be good, but no I want to pair it with cheese, chocolate, PB.... you get my drift.

5. Home Décor - I will not say home ownership as it has not been kind to me or my pocketbook... (haha there I go again). I mean I am hemorrhaging money! Rugs, décor, furniture, a/c man, plumber, yard, trees, floor... seriously! And I have not even made my first mortgage payment! I need a husband roommate to share these expenses.... But I am loving making this home my own. No one else to please, make happy, suffice. Just me in all my girlie quickyness! I mean when else besides when your 15 can you put Audrey on your bedroom wall which is painted Tiffany blue? This girl!

5 on Friday

Thought I would hope on over, meet some new people and join in a link up for this Fabulous Friday. So check out these ladies and see my 5 on Friday!

1. Man of Steel - Yes I saw it last night, early premier, thank you Superman! And can I say...Henry Cavill... yum.... that is all. Just yum. The movie was good though. For someone who did not grow up watching Superman it was a good movie. Action-packed, love story, hot guy.... I'd give it an A.

2. 24 day Challenge - Yup, I'm doing it. I am on day 5. Once I got the Fiber drink down to an art its all good. I think I am feeling the benefits (minus that mini cupcake I ate after court this morning or the bundtini for Cailin's bday...)

3. I will be on the beach in 9 days.

4. Father's Day - looking forward to sharing a relaxing day at the pool with my family, quasi-dad and other loves of my life to celebrate all things dad.

5. I close on my house July 10th! Its all coming together!!!
