* Pretty Little Endeavors

I absolutely HAVE to write this post now or else it just won’t happen. Christmas Eve & Christmas Day recap. Ready, Set… GO! Christmas Eve was wonderful. We spent time with my family as well as Luke’s. Lucas’s parents got us floor seats to see Maroon 5 on Valentines day and tickets to see Luke Bryan in Indiana 2 days before my birthday! The Maroon 5 tickets I have been completely bratty about because Lucas said we’d go and then just forgot to get the tickets. Last time Maroon 5 came he never took work off so I had to buy another ticket and take my parents. He didn’t know his parents got them for us. But, it all works out. I can’t wait. I think I might just flood you all with photos… These are all from my phone/ipad.. I’m sorry I’m too lazy to get them off my camera. My mom is OBSESSED with her iPAD. She’s been wanting one for months. My Niece, Me & my sister. The top photo shows my sister and I wrapping Lucas’ gift he got for his sister & her fiancé Christmas 2011. T...

…That I’m linking up to put off finishing my Christmas post. …To cry over snow even though I have 4-wheel drive. Doesn’t help on ice. …To wake up at 10 to a text from your boss reminding you that you work at 10… only if this was the first time.. and the day after Christmas.   …To give in to those insane pickle, chicken noodle soup and V8 spicy hot cravings in the middle of the night.     …To have extreme cravings and not be pregnant.   …That people can’t figure out if I’m sarcastic or a bitch.   …To have a cookie, or two.. for breakfast.   …If the entire day is on pause until you’ve had 2 cups of coffee.   …To wake up Christmas morning realizing you had 4 too many beers.   …To spend more of the $60 your parents gave you for the casino.. at the casino bars.   …If the only gift your boyfriend gave you for Christmas was a $25 4 pack of beer. It’s my favorite and it’s 12% alcohol. I should mention that my Christmas gift from hi...

Why is it that as you get older holidays just get more and more stressful? Christmas is FOUR days away. We celebrate on Christmas Eve.. so that’s only THREE!! Crap. When I was little we used to spend holidays with my entire family. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Siblings, Grandparents.. Then I started to see how crazy my family was & recently, within the past few years, we’ve disowned some of them. Now, I just have my parents, my grandparents, my sister, my niece and Luke’s family. I’m okay with that. Trust me. Dealing with the drama of my extended family ruins the holiday completely. Sometimes if I think about it, it makes me a little upset. Only because I know I tried so hard. Not my loss. Christmas Eve is always at my parent’s house. The family we didn’t disown comes over to eat & open presents. Then Luke & I go to his house to exchange gifts with his parents and his sister. Christmas Day I open up gifts in the morning at my parent’s house. Then go to Luke’s parents for an ...

I had a post planned for today. I decided against it. I noticed that many bloggers are going to be silent today. I considered not saying a word out of fear for the negative comments I’ll probably receive. You may have read my post on Friday about the tragedy that still has me heart broken.. I have been praying non-stop for them. I’ve been crying daily. Silence to me means not speaking. I think that we should be speaking. But, of course we should also be honoring the victims. A moment of silence and a day of not speaking are so different to me. If you read my post I linked to above, you’ll understand why I don’t believe silence is the answer. I’ve had to take legal action against someone because of death threats they had against me. I was stalked. I was terrified. All of my friends left my side. They didn’t want to speak up. They didn’t want to be involved. They all felt it wasn’t their place to say anything. 4 police reports, 12 voicemails, 387 e-mails, 5 pages of tweets and 83 fb...

I know that everyone always complains about Facebook. But, why just Facebook? The other social networking sites are perfect? I find myself annoyed constantly. Maybe it’s just me.. Like this photo if you would save your mom from a burning house. I better like that photo because I wouldn’t want my mom to think I wouldn’t save her… The people who never learned how to spell or form sentences. Yo!!! Dat PARTY wuz SiiiiiCK Lst NiiGHT! Yaaa BuDDiiEEEE!! Oh wait.. here’s the PERFECT example…. Repost this photo or this evil clown will be hiding under your bed tonight. I can’t even fit anything else under my bed. Nice try. The re-adder. You unfriended me or unfollowed me. Why 2 weeks later are you trying to add me again? TMI. I’m sorry to hear about yeast infection.. Wait, why am I hearing about it? “No Make-up” photos. Or “just woke up gross I know” ”ZOMG! Just woke up! Hair is a hot mess! #DONTCARE” Really? You sleep with your hair up.. and it stays in place?… And, YES. This is what my ha...
