What I'm Loving Wednesday



This week I'm changing up my "Weekly" Wednesday post and joining Jamie over at This Kind of Love.

I'm Loving... that I get to see my boyfriend tomorrow after work!


I'm Loving... that I actually get to do some design related work {Finally!}


I'm Loving... that there's only a month left until school starts! {Can't come soon enough!}


I'm Loving... that I can relax in our game room and no one knows I'm up here. {I can watch my shows and be on the internet in peace.}


I'm Loving... that Friday the boyfriend and I are taking Buddy Beagle to Petsmart for food and having a mini date night at Red Lobster. {We *love* that place!}


I'm Loving... that even though it's been 3 days since the NKOTBSB Concert I am *Still* on Cloud 9!!! {Can I just say that is some good lookin' eye candy! Yum-o!}


I'm Loving... that the boyfriend's birthday is Saturday and I am going to spoil him. {Ice Cream Cake and shopping! Who says guys don't like shopping? Besides, he *needs* clothes!}
I'm Loving... that July is almost over! I am *so* tired of this heat!


What are you loving today? Link up with Jamie and let us know!

NKOTBSB Concert

Last night was the infamous New Kids and Backstreet Boys concert here in Tulsa. I went with a friend of mine from High School and we had second row seats at the end on the catwalk on the left side. Can I just say holy shit balls those seats were ah-maze-ing!!!!! 

We had dinner before hand at Olive Garden with two other girl friends from High School. It was great getting to catch up with everyone and laugh and have some much needed girl time. We also had some sangria with dinner. {That was a really good choice on our part!}

Matthew Morrison from Glee was the opening act and he was great! And boy can he dance!{and sing} If any of you watch Glee his dancing is just that. He's also recording a record!

My inner 5 year old and 12 year old were SO happy last night! I can die a happy girl. Donnie and Howie are my favorites of the two groups {but none of them disappointed!} My throat is definitely sore today and I was losing my voice last night but, it was well worth it! I was dancing in my little designated "space" and singing along like nobody's business! I also got lots of pictures! 

So far this has been the best concert I've been too!

{Please no stealing of photos. Thank You!}

Inked

I know this is a day late but after seeing all the great tattoos on a blog's link up I've decided to join in. {That and I finally found a pic of my second tattoo that I took.}

I'm linking up with I Love You More Than Carrots today.

I got my first tattoo last year on Earth Day. {No, there's no significance to that day. That's just the day I decided to take the plunge.}

I was nervous about the initial start of the tattoo. Something about a needle putting ink into skin just made me nervous. {Plus, I thought it would hurt like hell.} Well this one was nothing compared to my second one. This one is on my inside left ankle and it reminds me to shoot for the stars and never settle for anything.




I know this one is upside down but that's the only way I could get a good picture. This is my second one. It's a butterfly made out of two linked hearts. It's located on my right hip. {I know very cliche of me.} I got this one first done in January of this year and have since gotten the pink a brighter pink and more white. This one hurt worse than my first one. {Something about being right on the bone. lol} This one also bled when I got the pink redone. This tattoo is for needing a change in my life and I have seen a change for the better.



These are my first two but I am wanting MANY more. My next two are going on my feet. Those will have to wait a while though. {Living with the parentals and all.} The one on my right foot is going to say Omnia Vincent Amore...Love Conquers All in Italian and my left foot is going to say 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. This bible verse speaks to me in so many ways and why not have a reminder everyday of it.


Are you inked? I'd love to hear about your tattoos and their meanings.

So What! Wednesday



This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if...

  • I've been reading about the 30 Day Husband Appreciation Challenge that Laura is doing and I want to participate, even though I'm not married. {Boyfriends can get the same appreciation right? Plus, he deserves it after the shit I've put him through.}
  • I have three days off in a row this week. I'm not complaining. {I'm not getting very many hours though but that's ok.}
  • I'm going to use my employee discount to get the boyfriend a new wardrobe. {He's in need of clothes and I get stuff for cheap.}
  • Old Navy is having 75% off and I want to buy everything even though I have no money. {We have stuff for $3.00! No joke!}
  • I got a day off on Sunday and no one covered my shift. {I heard it wasn't that busy and I tried to find someone to cover for me.}

What are you saying SO WHAT! to this week?

Link up with Shannon over at Life After I Dew and let everyone know!

So What! Wednesday


This week I'm saying So What! If...

  • I worked this morning til 11 am and slept the whole day. {I really only meant to take a 2 hour nap but insomnia has the best of me!}
  • I'm actually tired of working retail but like getting out of the house for a few good chunk of the week and the extra cash I'm making.
  • I want to be somewhere cool with a beer or glass of wine in hand. {It's too damn hot here. It's in the 90's today and a "cold front" came in earlier this week.}
  • I'm tired of all the facebook posts about people girls I know from high school being pregnant. There are probably a good 7 of them in one stage or another of their pregnancy.
  • I can't wait until Friday. {Who can't?} It's the start of the weekend (even though I have to work ALL 3 days} and I actually get some money to spend.
  • I just want it to be Sunday so I can see the boyfriend. Even though we're roughly 70 miles apart our schedules and my lack of funds don't allow weekend trips all the time.
  • I want it to be this time next year. I'm ready to move out of Oklahoma and onto new and bigger things. Hopefully I can get to Kansas City or someplace a little cooler. {The boyfriend and I have also been talking about Seattle!}

Sadly no.

So What Wednesday!




It's So What Wednesday over at Life After I "Dew" and just like {almost} every Wednesday I'm linking up!

So What If...

  • I worked 3 hours today and I am tired! It just lets you know I have been doing a whole bunch of nothing!
  • I just heard about this "planking" business and have no idea what it is or how you can die from it. {I guess I should look into it}
  • my coffee will not be coming from Starbucks these next 2 weeks. I have a coffee maker and a Tassimo and I should probably put them to use.
  • I was bored at the end of my work shift. I have stocked the floor and back stocked before. I don't need your effing speech.
  • Pintrest is taking over my life. I have found some really awesome wedding ideas and I'm nowhere close to being engaged. {It's nice to get ideas though, right?}
  • I've started reading The Hunger Games {yes I'm only on Chapter 3} and I have no clue if I even want to finish it. If a book doesn't grab me by the middle of the first chapter I'm usually done.
  • I'm going to be glad to get out of the house a few days a week. I need to do something and being kept up in the house is not one of them.

What are you saying So What! to?

Pintrest Anyone?

I'm probably way behind on blogging about this but that's okay!

After hearing many blogs and facebook friends rave about Pintrest I had to see what this was all about. So I scoped out the site to see what the fuss was about. All I can say is it's so nice to have one place to have ideas, inspirations, recipes etc. It keeps things organized and I don't have to "lug around" a big fat binder of clippings and swatches. 

You do have to get "invited" to this little gem of a site but that's simple. Just ask for an invite and the Pintrest team e-mails you in no time.

I have been a "member" for a while now...I think like a month? and I am just now getting to the point of actually looking at what other people are inspired by and "pinning" my own inspirations and ideas.

Check it out if you haven't already and as they say, Happy Pinning!

So What Wednesday



It's Wednesday so I'm linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" for So What Wednesday.

So What If...

  • I only seem to blog on Wednesdays. My life doesn't seem that interesting for me to blog about so why put other people through it?
  • I didn't get an internship this summer like I was supposed to. I found a job instead and I start next week.
  • I need to make a To-Do list so I can actually get things done. {I haven't actually made this list yet}
  • I need to clean my bedroom and bathroom. It's definitely a lot cleaner than it has been but things need to get picked up.
  • Pretty Little Liars began yesterday and I just got caught up on last season and watched yesterday's episode today.
  • I have $50 to my name and am going to visit the boyfriend this weekend. I can make it 2 weeks with no money, right? {I hope so!}
  • I am actually looking forward to waking up early on the weekends to go to work. It will at least get me out of the house and give me something to do.
  • I'm determined to get an internship next summer in Kansas City. It will get me one step closer to actually living there and the boyfriend and I want to get out of Oklahoma.

So What Wednesday


This week I'm saying So What! If...

  • I didn't participate in So What Wednesday for the past 2 weeks. I had other priorities.
  • I don't give Buddy his meds in the mornings. I haven't lived here in 10 months why should I start now {even though he is my dog.} 
  • Last month I didn't do much or put much effort into finding an internship. I was in class 4 days a week and spending time with the boyfriend. {Plus, I practically had an internship anyway.}
  • I'm pissed off that the firm I was supposed to be interning with had someone leave and they can't accommodate me. I was so excited to get the hell out of Tulsa and go to Oklahoma City. Blah! 
  • I don't do anything I'm lazy during the day. I did turn in 3 applications for jobs though.
  • I want summer to be over NOW so I don't have to deal with my dad bitching all the time and so I can actually have something to do. {Even though I'll be living at home for the school year. Fun!}
