“Are you gonna save a cowboy ride a pony?”
– NMP Quote of today
NMP Quote of Yesterday
Can we come to your house tonight? GDMc (fiance) wants to watch the state championship game. (Yes, she’s referring to the NBA Finals)
55 Days Until My Wedding!
Bridal Bootcamp (Round II) starts tomorrow. I have no motivation but am short on time so hopefully that will keep me in line. I kicked it off by eating T-bone steak, homemade potato chips, and drinking mimosas. Tomorrow begins just fewer than 8 weeks of food hell and early mornings of cardio. Why can’t I be one of those girls who loves eating carrots and running marathons????
“Marriage is a choice. A choice to share. A choice to stop only considering...”

This is the truth.

Blogging Again
For all 17 or so of you who actually read this at one time, thanks! If you’re still reading it, thanks again! Sorry it’s been a year and a half. In the mean time, I decorated my house, met a man, bought a dog, and am planning a wedding (mine) that will happen in 64 days. My new life in a nut shell :)
“Is it too early to eat lunch?”
– My bff and co-worker NMP who always provides me with a quote of the day. This one came at 8:42 am.

“I BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!”
– My house stuff is the reason for my prolonged absence.
After a little investigating, it turns out that Toni and Dallas didn’t make it back to the states in time for the finish line after the passport fiasco. That sucks, I was hoping for a saucy Dallas and Starr reunion…
JJM: Are you gonna play Cranium with us?
JMc: Depends on who's gonna win
“I had a dream last night that I took a pregnancy test. When I woke up, I was so...”

During a Flip Cup Break
R: I think I'm gonna sit this round out. My stomach is going to explode
C: Haven't you seen Mythbusters?!?! It took like 14 pounds of food for his stomach to explode!
I woke up extra early to have my oil changed...
Me: I need an oil change, please
Oil change guy: Ok, blah blah blah blah blah. Did you know there is a recall out on your car?
Me: Ya, how long will that take? (note that I didn't have a ride home as none of my friends wake up this early)
OCG: If you don't have time to wait, we don't have time to fix it. But if it breaks, you'll have plenty of time to wait while you're on the side of the road.
Whoa! Angry much? And P.S., you didn't even answer my question!
“Kay Jewelers has that slogan, ‘Every kiss begins with Kay’. Let me...”

Just caught the tail end of a story on the news about a Postal Worker who found a bag of money on a sidewalk and turned it to be claimed by its rightful owner. The last sentence of the segment: “The mailman said he never thought about keeping the money, but he did think about all of the things he could buy with it” Ummm, it wouldn’t buy shit if he didn’t keep it…
An Open Letter to a Friend
Dear BA:
(If those are your initials, you have red hair, we work in the same office, and share the world’s lamest coolest last name then I’m talking about you!)
I’m sorry that you had to ask me why my blog was sucking and why my posts were becoming increasingly rare. I hope that the last few days have been better and more inspiring.
But mostly, I wanted to write this letter...
I majorly dislike Christmas music
And am more than pissed that it’s all I’m going to hear for a month.
“I’m having True Blood withdrawals”
I cut up ALL of my credit cards today!
This is the first of many steps I’m taking to make myself more responsible. I am going to try that novel idea of saving for the things I want. This completely undermines my current “instant gratification” motto. I happen to have taste that my budget can in no way support, and I’m not sure how this is going to go. But working in financial services makes me feel somewhat...

Ok, so it’s actually REALLY easy to be humble. In fact, being a Hog fan pretty much requires unlimited humility. Except for today- it’s a great day to be a Dick. Woooooo Pig Sooie!

No more True Blood until summer...
Now all I have to look forward to on Sundays is going back to work. Consider me crying myself to sleep.
Quotes of the Evening
1: Laith throws blind cats.
2: Why don't ya wipe the sand out of it?
Are you kidding me?!?!?
My heat was repaired yesterday. However, I went to clean the garbage disposal today only to find that it has now quit working. I swear the managers at my apartment complex are going to think I’m tearing this place apart and may evict me! Why can’t everything just work :(
Bad Blogger
I have been a terrible blogger as of late. I attribute this to a combination of being busy at work, unusually uninspired, and way behind on my DVRd shows.
I have also been a terrible worker outer. This I attribute to laziness. And the fact that I crave lots of shit. At any given time today I was craving one or more of the following: Waffle House, frozen custard, pizza, Sour Patch Kids, and...
My Heat Quit Working
Needless to say, I’m cold and grumpy :(

– -Story People ”Backup Plan”
If you:
a. Think your sense of humor is similar to mine AND
b. Haven’t already checked out Story People, THEN
c. You’re missing out big time
Work Party!
Tomorrow morning I’m leaving for a work retreat (party was a bit of an exaggeration). Most people HATE these kinds of things- think they’re boring and a waste of time. I, however, love this crap. So much bonding and you come back all inspired to change the world one life insurance policy at a time. Plus I get to stay in a hotel. Did I mention I love staying in hotels? Mostly...
Another Reason
It’s cool to be lonely single:
I don’t have to feel guilty about explain why I spent gobs of money on shoes/jeans/bags/shampoo/insert your guilty pleasure here.
I NEVER thought I'd say this but,
I’ve decided to go to Grad school. I always swore that I wouldn’t get an MBA out of principle (I have a bachelors in business- it’s the SAME degree!). But, ever since the GED became the new BSBA, I feel like I have no choice. And my alma mater has an excellent part-time MBA program that would allow me to go one day a month. I can keep my job and make myself smarter at the...
Your Band is Called What?
SH's Coworker: Hey, you should come see my band play sometime!
SH: I'd love to! What are you guys called?
SH's Coworker: Cat Head Biscuit
Why It's Fun to Be Single
It’s easy to come up with reasons for why being single at 24 is dumb/crappy/scary, but when you really think about it, loneliness sure has its perks!
TIME: I get to live on my time. No one but me to decide when I do anything or go anywhere
FOOD: I don’t have to succumb to any cravings but my own.
SHARING: My baby brother was born when I was 13 months old. I’ve been sharing...

16 Days Until Twilight!
It’s been over a month since I finished Breaking Dawn, and I still have dirty dreams about Edward. That can only mean one thing… I REALLY need to get laid.
