A new year and new stuff

Hey ya'll! Wha'd you do for new years? Dress up and party? Kiss someone at midnight? Go to a friends house and party? I did neither of those and it was by choice. I was freakin' TIRED and, since I have a new puppy, I feel pretty obligated to be home every night. But next year will be different. Next year, I'm actually going to do something; I don't know what it is, but since I've never really "gone out" for new years, it'll be different come 2016.

A (baby) Puppy Shower!!

 Meet Sinatra

I've been a bit MIA for a while and I have no real reason, besides that I've been working a lot.

Target may possibly be redeemed...

I stopped by Target about 2 months ago, took photos, got pissed and left. I then came home, feverishly typed up this "long" post and proceeded to make dinner, save the draft and promptly forget about it. Since I feel these photos are **MAGIC** I felt the need to post them.

The Arms of Doom

We all have things we don't like about ourselves and if you read this, I'm sure you know there are many things I don't like about me. But I hate my arms. A lot. I've posted many pictures on this blog that I never DREAMED I would be showing people. My arms are bigger than other women who are typically my size and they're so big, that I often have to try on 2 shirt sizes when shopping.

I have a problem and I'm not sure where to go from here

There I was, standing next to my car, while he thumbed through an old mechanics books I had in my backseat. "So it's a no," he jokingly asked. I confirmed the no and was thankfully rescued by one of his supervisors. As I was driving away from work it occurred to me: I just rejected a seemingly decent guy based on the premise that I do not date anyone I work with. But the real reason?

I am 30 years old, single and terrified of dating/men/being in a relationship.

No Netflix August....a success?

I suppose no Netflix August could be considered a success, if you consider the Vietnam war a success.

No Netflix August!!

So lately, I've noticed I haven't done anything. Seriously, anything.

I come home from work, turn on the computer, pee, change into comfy clothes, sit down in front of the computer with a master plan of editing some 20,553 photos I have on my computer, reorganizing bookmarks, and blogging. What I do is sit down, watch Netflix while doing a few other things (mainly tinkering) and nothing else. I'll even skip dinner if I lose track of time. So I've come up with a plan and rules to this plan...and this plan is called "No Netflix August."

I've been gone for a bit

I haven't felt like blogging lately. In fact, I haven't felt like doing much at all. I have a few things going on and I can usually deal with a few things, but it's usually one thing that happens to be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I officially hate Avenue

I  was hoping to find a new dress for a family reunion that went on a few weeks ago. I wanted to look nice and feminine, but casual, etc. So I went to a different Avenue that I haven't shopped at before, thinking this one would have more/better choices because it's bigger than the one I usually go to. This time, I didn't leave pissed, I left sad and ended up crying on the way home.

Fancy with my bestie

I kinda have picky tastes when it comes to clothing and I find that most pieces I crave...are in skinny sizes. :(
So a few months ago when I saw that Lane Bryant had a Perfect Gentleman tee, I booked it over there in desperate hopes that I would, too, be fancy. And now I am.

So one of my fears that I want to get over is being in front of the camera and I have a bestie, Joey @ Pretty, Nerdy Girl, who finally caved to taking photos of me, after months of me badgering her. I feel our day went well, which included food, a walk and many hours together. Times were good. And now on to my favorite tee!!!!
