Top 2 Tuesday!!!

I'm not certain, but I believe this is my first time playing along for top 2 Tuesday hosted by The Undomestic Momma

1. Pretzels with Mustard. Pretzels are so yummy and fat free and with mustard they take delicious kind of like the big pretzels you buy at the mall and eat with mustard!! Absolutely delicious!!!

2. This is a yummy recipe I learned and I usually eat it for a light feeling, easy lunch. I used to eat this the unhealthy way with some fritos, but somebody brought it to my attention that it is also good without it.

What you will need:

red beans/kidney beans
diced tomato (optional)
fat free or lite catalina

mix it all together and you have a yummy meal or snack!!!

Weekend recap!!

I don't have any of the pics yet. I realized why I was the one always bringing the camera..I can't not post the pics the day after I take them, but my bestie got a new camera and insisted on us using hers so, no pics until she decides to post them, which could be next year at the rate she posts pics :P I will definately post them as soon as she does.

Anyways, Friday night my brother and his family came in town and picked up his wife's new Lexus that I posted pics of the other day. Then we all went to eat at the unhealthiest place in town. It's a little fish house we have here that has nothing but fried food and shrimp, but it's delcious.

Saturday was filled with lot's of up and downs. I couldn't get my makeup and hair to do right for out pics and then I couldn't figure out what jewelry to wear with my dress because Morgan was calling me saying her car ran hot and she needed me to come get her. This was the same car we were supposed to take out of town Saturday night..eek!! We ended up freezing our booties off to take pics. It was so cold and all of our dresses were strapless and it was outside. It seemed that every other day this week was warm by that time, but nope not the day we decide to take pics.

So I ended up having to drive to go meet everybody for girls night and turned into the DD :( The bestie didn't drink either so that I wasn't alone. We had a great night there and I got to talk to one cute bass guitar player :) However, I did get a ticket on the ride home...GRR!!! I didn't see the speed drop and ended up getting a 72 in a 60..GRRR!!!!

Sunday, I spent the day with my beautiful niece and nephew, but didn't get any pics of them this weekend :(

How was everybody's weekend?

Oh me, oh my!

I definately missed out on What I'm Loving Wednesday so I'm going to post my current loves today.

~I'm in love with this youtube page. I love all of her workouts and she definately kicks my booty. I currently have spaghetti arms and very painful calf muscles thanks to her. No pain no gain :)

~I'm loving the fact that my besties, my godson, and me will be taking professional pics Saturday. I can't wait to show them off! I think they are going to be HOTT judging by the colors of our outfits!!!

~Saturday night I'm going out with my bestie who I haven't been out with in forever and a big group of people..Squeels!!!

~I got to spend a few days with my bestie this week. She was having problems with her mom and decided to come stay at my house for a few days. It was pretty fun. But now I realy want the Sims 3 game thanks to her..lol

~I got my first flat screen tv this weekend and now I just have to figure out a cute way to rearrange my room. It's been the same way for a few years and I need some change. I ust hav to figure out how to do it. I have absolutely tooo much stuff!!!

~Oh, and I have plans for spring break. I mean it's a few months away, but still. I'm either going to Tennessee with two of my besties or I'm going to Panama City with two of my besties :) Saving money begins, umm well YESTERDAY!! haha


~On a sadder note. I had to say goodbye to one of my roal models yesterday. My mom's boss is a really young, beautiful women who lost her husband a few years back to cancer. I've watched her struggle and watched her get her doctorate through all of the challenges she has faced. She is one woman that I am going to miss her. I always looked forward to seeing her outfits and how she had so much confidence. She wasn't a small girl, but she didn't care. She pulled off the cutest outfits and shoes and although she had a funny side nobody ran over her. One day, I want to be like her!

Well ladies, that's all the big happenings in my life. How has all of your weeks been?

Not this time and I need your vote!!

Hey ladies,

I'm sorry I've been such a debby downer!! I just always think things are going great and then it's like something slaps me in the face and apparently this something just does NOT know me because this girl right here never runs from a fight. I will not back down and I will not give up. I will make the right decision for me and I will do what I have to do to become somebody.

On another note, well kind of the same note, my brother brought my sis in law this:

{Paid in Full}
What really, really pisses me off is the
A. His wife doesn't even trust him. While he was talking to the people and sending my mom the check to take to the people so she could pick it up and the car be here when they came up next weekend as her Birthday suprise, she started accusing him for the 3rd time since they have been married of cheating. She has some major trust issues. He informed her that she was going to feel really low, but he was just going to go ahead and tell her what he was doing. I hope it made her feel pretty darn bad. I mean sooner or later you have to get a grip and stop having trust issues. Stop blaming your man for your ex's mistakes. Leave those mistakes back there in the past with that ex.
B. My parents pay for my brothers car because they signed with him to get it when he went through his divorce forever and like 5 years ago and he still will not take over the payments although he makes a freaking arm and a leg. I mean you can by a lexus straight out, hello can you pay for "Your" car and stop making my parents pay for it. I mean I can't get mine fixxed because they are paying an arm and a leg for his car every month. I can't even mention it without getting chewed out and then my parents won't let me get a job because they don't want my classes to slip so, IDK. It's frustrating.
C. He's rubbing it in!! And he loves to pick on my car! GRR

Last but not least, It is most def. time for a hair change!! I'm thinking a little snip snip and a little dye dye!!!

A little snip snip like one of these (vote please)



or grow it out and then cut it like the one below







and a little dye, a little something like this (vote pertty plz?)

{A little red like this?}

{A little highlight like this?}

{A crazy fun mix of brown with red at the bottom and upunder}

{A little darker, like this?}
Or anything else you think would look good on me!!

Well I love all of the support you all have given me these past few days and I want each and everyone of you to know that I absolutely love my blogging friends!!!

For real?

I just want to scream! I promise you, if it's not one thing it's another.

So my friend and I were going to apply again for our second time trying to get accepted into the nursing program this summer, which means we have to get our stuff in now, but we found out that they will go over no less than 12 chapters a week during summer semester and then they informed her that they will look at our past summer semesters and see how we stayed up to see if they will let us in to this semester. Well, I never did summer semesters, so I have a very low chance of getting in.

I've been talking to my mom about going to another college that is about an hour away!

I mean 2 years at this one school and I'm at a stand still taking classes that I don't even need and it's getting rediculous!!

The only plus about going to the one school that I am going to now is that I get a half scholarship because of my parents working there.

I'm praying that something goes my way!

It's another Monday here in 2011!

1. I've been drinking a lot of and eating a lot of !

2. I've also been doing a pile of workouts: ab workouts with the ab roller, resistence bands, workout videos, stationery bike, and I got my treadmill set up Saturday..yay!!

3. Friday night I went out with the girls to a pizza place, but I didn't completely wreck my diet!!!



4. Saturday I spent most of my day making some money scraping the floor where my dad took a great deal of the tile up to redo after the original tile guy messed it up. My dad apparently can't get down there and scrape because of healing from his surgery, so hello me. I kicked that floors butt, but I'm not going to lie, it kicked my butt too. I got a great workout from it though.I'm talking soe arm muscles, ab muscles, and back muscles. However, my hands and knees were also very sore yesterday also and my hands wouldn't top itching.

5. Yesterday we didn't make it to church because my mom and me got up and got ready for church and we were both about to walk out the door at our usual time to make the hour drive to church when my dad put in he was going with us. He drives sooo slow and we ended up getting there 20 min. late so we didn't go in. Sucks, I know. It would have been our first Sunday back to church in 2011 and yet it had to get messed up. My dad wasn't actually going to even go in with us. He was going to drop us off and go to my grandparents' house. He won't go to church regardless of how much we try to get him to go. So anyways we ended up going to my grandparents' house and finishing up the last minute food preperations she usually does when we get there after church.

6. I spent a lot of yesterday watching Hallmark channel :) It had some pretty good movies on. I've seen one or two of them a few times, but there was a couple I hadn't seen before also :) I love some girly tv!!

7. My college is the only town in my city that is having school today thanks to bad ice and weather and yet the college doesn't even have any power in most buildings and although I don't have any classes to go to today, both of my parents work there and neither one of the need to be dealing with this cold.

Well ladies, I hope y'all have a wonderful Monday!!!

so fresh and so clean, clean!!

Hey ladies!!

I'm a little more chipper today than I was yesterday, although I start back classes tomorrow!!!Yuck!

My mom and me did some research through my classes tonight (thank goodness she works at the college I go to) and we discovered that if I do not get into the nursing program there this time that I have enough classes to graduate and go to another college where I can either continue trying to become a nurse or hange my major. I have a pile of classes that go for a majority of different majors so I am in good shape! We are also planning on making a trip to a college about an hour away where my mom also went to school for her bachelors, to talk to them and see what all I need to tranfer there. Things are looking up.

I have only have a 1/4 of a bottle of Dr Pepper today and 8 glasses of water. I feel so much better already!! Hmm now lets see if I can make it tomorrow without any soda at all..yikes!!! I might have to pull out the diet drinks, just to have a few sips so I can transition myself to only drink water!!!

I also got a good workout in today. I did 15 min. on the stationery bike and then 15 min. of my bootcamp workout dvd. Let me tell you, that thing kicked my butt. I had no choice but to stop..lol..but now I don't feel very sore so I'm not thinking it paid off to much :(

Well that's all I have of my boring life today!!

2011 decisions!!

With 2010 ending and starting off with a few crazy days of 2011, I have done a lot of thinking.

I know that I should just sit back and let God tell me what to do, but sometimes things just get so overwhelming.

I've been thinking about my future lately and thinking about how I will be turning 20 this year and I've never worked a real job and although I've been going to college for the past year and a half I don't feel like I'm any closer to the end. I've had to change my major from one two year program at my college to another and now I just don't know. I mean I've always thought of myself working in the medical field. I always wanted to be a doctor, but with my shakey hands and my grades, it definately isn't going to happen. Then the diagnostic medical sonography program fell through after I had my hopes up to actually be able to work at some OBGYN doing sonographies and working a pretty steady 8-5 or whatever hours job. Now I'm majoring in nursing in hopes of working in labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, or mother/baby.

But I still always get negative thoughts, like I want to get married and have kids, but I'm scared of my working schedule being a nurse and I've never had any nurse's in my family to know how it works and how they juggle their lives and get to see their kids.

And then other times I think is this really what I want to do. When I see myself working I see myself in a cute outfit and heels doing somekind of job or a mommy at home in the kitchen with an apron on, but I never see myself as a woman in scrubs. I'm not saying it's not what I want to be and of course I love all of the cute scrubs, but sometimes my brain gets to wondering and I just don't know.

Are you a nurse? or What kind of job did you always picture having and what kind of occupation do you have now? Are you happy?

I want to be happy with whatever decision I choose! I pray I make the right decisions!!

11 in 2011

Happy New Years!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years eve and that 2011 is treating everyone good so far. I am unfortunately battling a cold or sinuses, something and it's horrible.
