* Pretty Little Endeavors

It is no longer Cyber Monday.  I'm actually happy. Do you know who stayed up until 6am shopping online trying to find good deals? In case you couldn't figure it out.. I did. Yeah. I didn't even get very good deals. There wasn't crap. I still spent probably $500. I'm not even close to being done with Christmas shopping. It's totally my fault, I wanted to amaze everyone this year. It's my first year that I actually have money to spend. Monday, I woke up and got ready for work. I had a stressful annoying day and I just wanted to break down.. but I held it together and made great money. I got home after 1am and I couldn't sleep. Lucas came home from work around 6, showered and was out right away. I was laying in bed watching the clock. As I fell asleep, my alarm went off a little early. I turned it off and ended up waking up 5 minutes before I had to be in class. I was exhausted, I only got an hour of sleep. Class went fast, I had a bunch of stuff to ge...

The snake one is awe...

I'm dreading getting out of bed today. But, I should so I can go get a coffee before I attempt to get through this morning at work. Michigan vs. Ohio State and State vs. Northwestern! If only I didn't have a swollen bruised eye/cheek.. I'd be a little bit more excited to get ready and get going. Yeah, I got punched in the face. By accident of course, but I'll assure you.. it hurts no less. After a slow night last night at work, I got off around 3am and when home and about 20 minutes later Lucas arrived, with a great big hug and a kiss just for me ;) I was so excited that he got off work early! I passed out pretty quickly and here I am.. 830am, exhausted and looking like I only know how to open one eye. Cool. At least I get to spend the evening with my lovey man <3 Oh yeah.. I forgot, I did a lot of online shopping yesterday.. but I can't wait for Cyber Monday!! :) I love Christmas Shopping!! Enjoy your day!

 I look so exhausted.. which I totally am! This is my, I feel like crap and I took a shower and stayed in bed wrapped in my towel until 10 minutes before we had to leave look. Not too cute, I know. We has a wonderful evening though! We went to Lucas' family and everyone was shocked by our hair changes and our weight loss. It's crazy how much we've changed over the past year. We spent some time chatting with him family and then went to my parents house to pig out on so much food! Lucas has been working so much, he's exhausted. So while I did some online shopping he napped on the couch.. and he's still sleeping! But he just looks so cute! My sister and my niece ended up stopping by unexpectedly, which was nice to have some time to visit with them! I'm sleepy today. I worked last night..  and had a little bit too much fun after work. I think I'm going to cuddle up next to my man and relax. I'm not going to go Black Friday shopping.....

Im sitting in my truck, in the parking lot at my new school. I got here way too early.. an hour to be exact. But I don't know this area so its not like I can go grab a coffee.. to be honest I don't know if this area is safe enough for me to go grab a coffee. All I know is its pouring rain, its freezing, this girl who looks like she is going to go into labor any second is walking super slow in the rain and there's some old school limo parked behind me. I'm so nervous, but kind of excited to start over and give it my all. Only 20 people get into the program a year. I have to keep almost a 4.0 This is going to be a stressful year.. but I think I'm ready.

I have such a busy week ahead of me. I'm not really sure why I decided to update this instead of getting other things done, but.. I guess that's just the wonderful world of blogging. Tomorrow on top of school in the morning and going to my new school at 530.. I have to go to work and make jello shots for Wed. Oh wait, I just happened to look at what is due for my online classes this week.. nothing. What a great surprise! I'm very happy right now!  So I went into work for a few hours and then got to go home. I went shopping for an outfit for Wed. If you remember in the last post, I mentioned I'm going to be a shot girl. Here is mine and the other girl's outfit.... I think they're so cute! We have cute black shorts and I bought these boots.. Sassy! I'm excited. I also happened to stop and buy some fake lashes, eye shadow and eye liner to match my outfit! Yeah, so maybe I spent a little more than I had planned. But whatever.. you only live once ...

I've really been sick! Yesterday when I got home from work, I ended up sleeping all evening and pretty much all night! The only time I woke up was when Lucas woke up and came and sat next to me on the couch so he could watch the game. Then my mom woke me up because her and my dad brought me food. I was up for about 30 minutes and fell back asleep then Lucas woke me up to go to the gas station with him, and then 20 minutes later I was sleeping again and didn't wake up until I had to get up for work at 930. That was about 16 hours of sleep I got last night. Although I feel better, I'm not 100%... I still feel out of it.  I'm sucked into a criminal minds marathon.. I've never seen this show, but now I'm hooked. After a double, and still being sick.. I should be sleeping, but of course not. I work tomorrow night, have school Tuesday morning then have to go to my new school, Wednesday is the biggest bar night of the year and I'm working as a shot girl, Thursda...

Well.. I'm sick. Booo! :( Thursday and Friday night were hell! Only because I felt so horrible. I got to see two bar fights.. which I wasn't that excited about because if it's not a hockey fight.. I don't want to see it. Anyways... it's like I'm having these insane hot flashes and then I'll be freezing. I feel weak and it's hard to walk at times. I went to work this morning and found someone to come in for me. I'm going to lay low tonight and make Lucas baby me. One of the guys from the band gave me one of those Vitamin C packets to put in water.. so I bought some of those, some theraflu tea and cough drops and some snacks and a good read.. Even though I'm sick.. I still went a got some new comfy clothes, when does shopping ever make me unhappy? Ah. I'm half asleep right now. I think I'm going to get some rest! I work a double tomorrow, and there is no way I'm going to feel like crap.. or so I hope! Hope none of you are...

I need to rush and write this because I want to spend a lot of time getting ready for work, so I look super cute! I'm exhausted.. and I work tonight, tomorrow night, Saturday morning and a double Sunday. I better figure out how to get some energy, now!  Yesterday I went to my new school! I have to go back Tuesday for registration! I got my hair done!! I got my bangs back!! It's crazy how fast my hair grows, I have to get my roots done every 2-3 weeks. Thank god my Mom is a hairstylist/salon owner! Lucas has been loving that a little bit too much... he gets his hair cut every week... Lucas took me somewhere that I've mentioned I really wanted to go to!!!! Oh I love this boy so much! I absolutely LOVED the fishys!    WILD ANIMALS?! YUP.. kind of. Oh hi lovey boy who didn't know I was taking pictures of him. My dad always said that when I find a guy, he needs to learn quickly that the way to my heart is to buy me dessert. Well, Luca...

    I'm in a fabulous mood today! Had yet another great night last night with my man! We got bubble tea and also got an obnoxious amount of bubbles in it.  Yeah. Haha. Then I had to write a 6 page paper. I'm currently getting my roots done, then I have to rush and get ready. We're going to meet with my new school since registration is next week! I'm so excited to be just another step close to have the future of my dreams! Lucas might take me to eat at the place I really want to eat at!!  Okay well this was a short update, but I'll try again tonight!! I have to get my hair stuff washed off!! Have a great day everyone!!!! :)!

I actually had a great day today! Weird considering I woke up feeling like absolute crap... and I worked tonight. The past few Mondays I'd go into work and get set home after an hour because there was no need for two girls on the floor. Today, it was my turn to stay.. which was fine with me, I just felt like crap.  The night went by really great. I was in an awesome mood. One of our cooks made me fried pickles after I told him that I tried them the other night from BDubs and didn't like them. Well, I wasn't a fan of fried pickles.. until I tried theses ones. Sadly, he specially made them for me with special dipping sauce and spices so I probably won't ever enjoy them anywhere else. So anyways, I made great money and we got closed by midnight. I'm a happy camper!!  I have class tomorrow morning. Lucas worked last night and didn't get off work until 8am... and had to be back to work at 5pm and he probably won't get off tonight until 7am... so guess how we...

I just may be getting sick! Nothing can make me feel awake the past few days. Maybe I should stop trying to wake up right now, and just get to bed early. I just feel like there's so much I want to get done, and I have no time to ever do it. I guess that's life. I worked all weekend. Friday night was absolutely insane. There was a line out the door for hours, because we were over capacity. Then Saturday I worked the morning and got to relax with my man! It was an amazing night! This morning I had a work meeting at 9:30 and then my shift started right after. I thought for sure I'd have a few tables and walk away with less than $100.. but I was so wrong. I made a lot of money tonight. So happy. Then I went and grabbed some food with my mom and played some keno, won $20. On Friday, I payed for our registration for the Nashville Marathon! I'm excited, but I need to start training hardcore. It's like I look as if I'm in great shape, I think I've mentioned befor...

I recorded the CMAs last night! I couldn't be happier right now! I love Carrie Underwood!!! There really isn't a country singer I don't like (Well.. Taylor Swift, but she's not very country).. I love country so much! Ah, get me to Nashville now! I guess I should be working out during this and not on here, but this also has to be done. Haha, I'm a great procrastinator. A little recap of my past two days. Lucas and I went to the Wings vs. Avalanche game! So happy we won! I didn't have time to upload any pictures from the game, even though I forgot my memory card and had to take pictures with my phone.. blah.  Of course we got fan photos.  We had a really good time! Then after we celebrated by going to Cesar's! We went to the sport's bar called Legends and had some shrimp and I had a few too many beers. But we had a great conversation with the bartender and she even told us how great of a couple we are, so on our $40 bill she got $20. Then we ...

Good afternoon readers! I'm finishing up my recorded wedding shows as I type this. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep! Of course I didn't go back to bed after Lucas got home. I was lazy and I got a very mini workout in! I said I was going to start being healthier and have a workout and diet plan.. and I want to sick to that! This morning I had...    Greek yogurt has a lot of protein, something my body really needs right now! I plan on getting back to the gym a few times a week and also start doing my workout dvds and wii games at least 5 times a week.   Last night I painted my nails. They're a mess but, if you know me.. you'll know that I change my nail polish about 5 times a week.  Don't mind my super short nails. Oh and last picture.. Rock somehow gave Savannah a boo boo and he was so upset about it. A quick background about Rocky, we rescued him.. and his past homes he was around an unhealthy marriage.. and he wasn't care...

I meant to be so much more productive that I have been tonight. I've been sitting here getting lost in people's blogs, painting my nails and listening to music. There might be medication (well.. maybe not for long thanks to this god awful shortage) for ADD.. but nothing will ever help my music ADD. It's so bad. Lucas sometimes makes rules in the car, "You can pick the music but you have to listen to the entire song." Which, never happens.. and I still get to pick the music because I'm the princess. Somehow I just managed to say very little, and still be all over the place. I don't even have anything to really blog about tonight, I'm kind of just doing it to avoid doing homework and working out.  You know what I hate more than anything in the entire world? "ARE YOU LOSING WEIGHT?!?" I do not like talking about weight. I don't like people paying attention to my weight. It's been very easy for me to lose weight the past few months, an...

It's 4am and I'm on blogger when I have to work at 10am tomorrow. But, I guess since I didn't leave work till after 3 that's just the good ol' bar life. Tomorrow, I need to eat healthy and drink only water. Actually for the next two weeks. I'm not a pop drinker, if I do drink pop it's always diet.. but it's very rare for me to WANT a pop. Well lately, I have turned into this diet coke addict. I crave diet coke. We went to Baja Fresh the other day, I always get water.. but I wanted diet coke so bad.. but I forced myself to get green tea... but after two sips I made Lucas get me a big diet coke.. which I drank all of it. Today at work, I refilled my red wings cup 4 times with diet coke. Then today at work I had a greek salad for the first time in my life... minus tomato, onion and peppers of course! Please tell me how someone craves a greek salad when they've never had a greek salad in their entire life. It was great though, never thought I'd like...

I told you I'd be back! Okay I have a few pictures I just wanted to post.  I got two new purses and some new nail polishes... and some sweaters (not pictured) in one day.. even though I told myself I'm done spending money.. that never lasts. I love this jacket! It's so comfy and the shoulders are far too perfect! This was yesterday before Lucas and I went shopping! My babies on Halloween! :) Lucas' pumpkin. I'm too embarrassed to post mine! The most unattractive picture of myself. Long hair, don't care. ;)   Here is a picture of the cute dessert from up in the Legend's Club at the game Tuesday! Okay! There you go! I actually updated when I said I would. I had coffee and girl talk tonight with Allison! It was actually nice to do something with the little free time I have. I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight! I wish it was easy for me to fall asleep! I used to fall asleep the second I'd lay down....

I have not forgot about you, Blogger! I've somehow managed to keep myself busy the past few days. I have pictures to share, but I'm going to do that later tonight!! I'm really in the mood to clean, and since that NEVER happens, I really think I should do that. I'm suppose to be meeting my friend Allison at Starbucks tonight after her class so we can catch up and do homework. I lost touch with pretty much everyone from high school.. so it's weird that I've been friends with Allison since kindergarten! That's almost 15 years! I feel old, I need to stop. I've actually been in touch with a few old friends. It's sad how people drift apart. It's actually depressing how simple everything once was. When I look at people my age, none of them are going anywhere in life. I'm so glad that I think the way I do, and I know what reality is. I know girls who are my age, pregnant or have a baby, and they don't have a job and they aren't going to scho...
