What's YOUR Song?

It's been a while since I have linked up with Goodnight Moon so here we GOOOOO.


I am pretty much in LOVE with Lily Allen. Her music is fun, witty and socially relevant. When this song, Everyone's At It, came on my Pandora I was automatically hooked.  Enjoy!

Michael Jackson's Biggest Fan

Guess what?! I am finally blogging from my own laptop! I start school next week so I was FORCED to get one. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited to have my own computer again (sharing the MAC wasn't too great and T's old laptop is so jacked up I refused to use it), I just super duper hate spending money. So now I can blog on a more regular basis (unless school takes over my life, which it just might).

This past week was pretty fabulous. My fabulous mother & sister in-law came into town along with T's best friend. T took a week of leave and we PARTIEDDDD (seriously, it was a really good time).

I want to talk about how fabulous my Mother in-law is...

Not because she made me this fabulous apron...

 Or bought me this fabulous cook book (seriously, every recipe I have tried has been so delish!) 

(are you sick of the word fabulous yet? haha)

 

But because of her indescribable obsession of Michael Jackson. She is his ultimate fan! She was able to get tickets to his last tour in London (which was sold out in hours). So that's amazing-ness #1.

Amazing-ness #2, when he died she drove all the way from Utah to California to be amidst all the Jackson fans. She also entered the lottery to be able to attend his memorial service. She didn't win the lottery BUT she met a woman who won the lottery but couldn't use her tickets, so she gave my mother in-law her tickets for free ( which is crazy in it's self because people were selling them for crazyyy amounts of money). She got into his memorial service!

Amazing-ness #3, this past week week when everyone was in town she wanted to go to LA and enter the lottery to get into Michael Jackson's death trial. And guess what, she got in! Her luck NEVER runs out!

I don't think I have ever met someone who has loved someone as much as my Mother in-law loves Michael Jackson. And someone with such good luck.

Unemployed...

Well, yesterday was my last day at work. I will never be making that hour commute ever again. I will never advise this Student Government again...

I will never sit at this desk ever again...

I will never have bosses as cool as the ones I had (seriously, I don't think I will ever get that lucky ever again). 


I feel weird and naked without a job. I just don't want people to be all judgy judgy about me not working (some people are actually like that). But with that being said I am so excited to just be able to focus on school and give my classes all my effort. Things are going to get pretty tight around our house but T and I decided that it was an important sacrifice.

This is the start to a new adventure!

I Am DYING!

Oh my gosh. I am dyinggggggg. T and I have decided to start eating healthier and working out on a regular basis. We've both gained a little weight (I seriously have been sausag-ing myself into my clothes) that we would like to see disappear. I avidly disapprove of diets because I like food way too much to restrict myself from it. Since I have been slacking at the gym (and by slacking I mean not even going) I have done the unthinkable. I am on a diet! And it is TERRIBLE. I am logging what I eat and I am not to exceed 1400 calories a day. It is so hard! Calories go by so fast! Right now, as I type, I have only 398 calories left for the day. My snacks are looking a lot like this....

Since this is the first day it has been so tough. Hopefully it gets easier as time goes on and hopefully I can get my butt to the gym!

I Am So Thankful!

Today my husband's old battalion deployed and I am soooo thankful my husband moved so he wouldn't have to go (some people have their own feelings about this so please, I don't want to hear it. T didn't want to deploy, someone else did, end of story). Today he would have been gone and I don't know how I could handle without him. Even though he annoys me when he plays computer games with his friends for hours, makes a mess in the kitchen or takes our name off the Navy Ball list without telling me (I am so mad about that! But were saving that for another day),  I am so thankful he can just be around. I am thankful I can be loved on by him, annoyed by him, share laughs with him and just be with him. Our house would be so silent and sad T. Moments like this are a reminder of how much I cherish moments with my husband.
