* Pretty Little Endeavors

Source: someecards.com via Amanda on Pinterest Today feels like Monday. My golf lessons were cancelled. We were suppose to have storms and my Golden is terrified of storms. We bought these treats that calm her down. It's all natural stuff, they cost like $30 for a bag of them. They're pretty much doggy xanax. They take a little bit to kick in so I gave her one thinking it was about to storm, but it hasn't stormed yet.. it might not even storm. So she's now completely out of it for no reason. Last night my Wings lost. I wasn't a happy camper. Luckily in the Legend's Club they pour wine all the way to the top of the wine glass. I needed it. Along with an IPA. Probably the worst part of my day was class this morning. We got our grades back for a group project. Our goal was to make a collage/poster board to show someone what Occupational Therapy is. When we presented, our teacher told us that we were one of the only group who really understood the

Happy Memorial Day!  I can't believe it was 3 years ago I was newly single, staying in a big, crappy house about 10 of us rented in South Haven. I think I stayed awake and partied for a few days straight until I finally slept an hour, woke up too exhausted and emotional to function and pretty much ditched everyone and drove all the way home alone. Oh the memories. I didn't do anything too exciting this weekend. I had my first golf lessons. I loved them! Tonight I'll be going to the Red Wings game!  We'll be sitting in the Legends Club which is totally awesome because there's so much amazing food, all for free. My favorite is always the dessert bar. I'm hoping that a past Red Wing will be up there tonight since anytime we've been up there for a game no one famous has been there.. but, at so many games we've gone to and had normal seats they always show someone really awesome up in the Legends Club.  More than anything I'm praying that

I absolutely love everything about summer. Living in Michigan I only get a few months to wear cute summer clothes. I couldn't be more happy that it's finally that time. However, I lost weight since last summer and I really don't have any summer clothes that fit. I've been on Pinterest searching for some must have summer clothes. Bandeaus.   Shorts.   I want different colors. I also wouldn't mind another pair of high-waisted shorts. Crop Tops. ...If I stick to a diet! Swimwear.    T-shirts & tank tops. Simple but cute. I found all of these from Garage . I may have mentioned them before. I found the site once while on Pinterest. I really like their clothes but most of all I dig that their clothes are very affordable and I was even able to find their promo code page . If you've read my blog long enough you know how crazy I am about a good deal.  After I blogged about using Ebates I received e-mails and comments about other s

I woke up this morning for work. I called the OT office I'm going to shadow at to see if I could get any hours in before Tuesday. The only day open was today. I get to work to find out I wasn't even working this morning. I was so happy that I'd be able to shadow.. then I found out that I work tonight. So there goes my day. Hopefully you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Source: someecards.com via Amanda on Pinterest Wine? On the blog of a craft beer snob?! Yes. Yikes. But, sometimes I read through blogs or see some of your Instagram photos and I'm overwhelmed with wine talk and wine drinking. Nothing against it, I just never gave it a chance.. until now. This weekend LBZ woke me up from my after work accidental nap with a 4 pack of fabulous Michigan brewed IPAs. Then we went out to eat and I had a margarita. Then I decided to try some sangria. We went back to my parents house where I decided to go through my parent's wine and I had two glasses of moscato. Last night LBZ and I went grocery shopping and I decided to wander down the wine isle. I know a lot about beer. I enjoy beer most people can't handle. I like beer with a lot of hops. IPAs. Beers that have more alcohol than I should be consuming. I've paid $30 for a 4-pack of beer. The more expensive a beer is, the better. However, I know absolut

A new link-up for me, I'm actually excited. I know I've been doing way too many link-ups, but I try and make them as personal as possible. I'll be back in action shortly, I swear. HAPPIES 1. Having people who remind me that I should live my life the way I want and not be concerned with offending others. Yes, this may be mainly related to blogging. I received a few e-mails and comments about my last post that made me grateful that I have readers who may not agree with everything I say or do, but they enjoy our differences as much as our similarities. 2. I have the entire day off! It's my first day this week that I won't have to drive 30+ minutes to school. I also don't work. Yes, I have a lot to get done, but I have all day to get things done and to be able to do them on my time. 3. I'm starting to feel more happy, with myself and just in general. The past few months I've allowed the negative to take over and ruin an

Hey, look! It's LBZ on my blog.  Currently..... Drinking a Samuel Adams Imperial White. 10.3% is the kind of beer I need after such a long day.  I promise to not let this post get too crazy. Wishing the Red Wings would of beat Chicago tonight. Playoffs make me full of anxiety. Feeling exhausted after 12 hours of work and school. Tomorrow I have school & class for even longer. I'm ready for my allergy medicine to start kicking in and to be able to sleep in Friday. Grateful that some guy bought a brand new Camaro and decided to drive faster than me driving 82MPH. Saved me from getting pulled over by the state police. Watching the news. There are so many horrifying events that happen all over, every single day. Everyday on the local news theres some kind of shooting in Detroit and so many that we don't hear about. I don't understand violence. Yesterday on the news, non-violence related, they reported that Michigan is going to consider putting gay

Did I blog when I said I would? No. Is that a surprise? No. Eventually I will get back into this. It's just hard lately. No excuses, just a simple fact. I have a few pictures to share with you all and I will soon! I haven't updated you guys on my life much. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you might be filled in a little. Nothing excited, just life. I did want to share something quickly with you guys. I know I've mentioned Ebates many times on my blog. I just received another check from them so I thought I'd mention them once again just incase any of my newer readers aren't members. Plus they have 14% cash back on so many stores right now for their Birthday celebration! Since I've signed up I've received a total of $175 just for shopping online at my favorite stores. It doesn't cost anything to join. You don't have to do anything more than going to Ebates.com  sign up, then anytime you're going to do some online shopping yo

I'm sitting here trying to finish one of my drafts I've started this week. Sometimes I feel like I have so many things that I want to blog about so I just end up not blogging. I also feel like my stress level and my ADD have teamed up and made me the most unproductive person ever lately. I keep putting everything off and now I just feel overwhelmed. Very overwhelmed. My mind is constantly racing. Instead of trying to focus on one topic today I'm just going to vent and ramble. Maybe it will help clear my head a little. I currently hate school. There are times that I feel like I can't do it. My room needs to be deep cleaned. I have clothes absolutely everywhere. I can't even deal with being in there lately. Yes, it's THAT bad. I keep having fat days. No, I didn't say I was fat. I know it's because I'm not working out. I'm skinnier than I was last summer, but I don't feel toned. That's an issue for me. Speaking of not feeling positiv

Hello beautiful readers. I'm sitting on the patio smoking a cigar and pretending my Red Bull is a cocktail. I'm in a super good mood. Which is odd considering I'm under a lot of stress. I just got off of work about an hour ago, it's 82 degrees and sunny! However, I have a huge Kinesiology lab exam tomorrow morning at 9 am. I need to do so much studying tonight. Realistically I need to pull an all nighter..  But, I work tomorrow night and I'm not sure if I can make it through a night shift. Especially since I pulled an all nighter Monday night, then last night only got 5 hours of sleep. However, I don't work or have class Friday so it might be possible. Anyways, I haven't linked up for OHP in a while because I wasn't pinning much. My mom has passed me up on Pinterest followers so I'm back at it! Hope you all have a great Wednesday night! Have a cocktail for me! Source: coastalcompanion.com via Amanda on Pinterest Source: U
