Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

one.
We are getting married in less than a month!!  I'm so ready for the wedding to be here and for us to be on our honeymoon!  yay!!

two.
I spent pretty much all weekend moving my stuff and getting my place ready for rent.  It is rented now so that's a great feeling, but I have a lot of stuff.  I got rid of so many clothes and other things.  It feels good to get rid of things that were just sitting around but that's a whole lotta $$.

three.
Tonight, I'm working on centerpieces.  Hopefully we will get most of them done and then will not have any big items left at all!!  Yay!

four.
I'd really like to eat a home cooked meal.  I feel like it's been so long.  Oh good for me food...hopefully we can meet again soon.

five.
I saw this "ABC's" floating around.  I figured I'd join in!   

A.   Age: 26
B.    Bed size: King.  That's the only way to sleep :) 
C.   Chore you hate: Cleaning the bathroom.  I hate hate it!

D.   Dogs: Lily.

E.    Essential start to your day: Sleep.  Seriously a good night's sleep is essential to a good start to my day.  Besides that, a shower to wake me up.

F.  Favorite color: Pink.  
G.  Gold or silver: Silver, white gold, platinum...not a fan of yellow gold.
H.  Height: 5'5".

T.   Time you wake up: Lately, I've been slacking on the getting up thing since we've been so busy, but when life goes back to normal, so will my Monday-Friday 5:00am wake up call.  Saturday & Sunday depends.  When I start marathon training again, 3:30-4 ugh.  But, it's worth it!  Right now between 7:30-8.
U.   Underwear:  I'm not a fan of bikini, brief or granny panties.  You can figure that out :)  
V.    Vegetables you dislike: Olives, slimy onions, green beans (unless in casserole).

X.    X-rays you’ve had: Besides dental, leg, fingers, toes and legs again in college.  Funny story about the college one...I got hit by a car in the cross walk and so I was taken in for xrays because my legs really hurt.  When they read the xrays they came back out and asked if I had ever been shot because it looks like I was shot in the hip at one point with a shotgun.  Come to find it, it was just the rhinestones on my undies, but I had a good laugh, and no broken bones!
Y.    Yummy food you make: You name it, but I specialize in Mexican and Italian fares :)
Z.     Zoo animal favorite: Monkey's I'd say.  They're funny to watch.  I enjoy the signs they put near them too, they're apt to throw something at you that usually isn't pleasant.

Day 12 & 13: 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 12: Something you love:






Running. I can't even describe my love (and sometimes hate) for running. It makes my bad days better and always gives me a new goal to strive for. It keeps me happy and healthy. Oh, running, how I love thee!


Day 13: Favorite singer/group:

I can't pick a favorite so here are some I always enjoy:



















Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

The Nerve...

So, last night some time, some low life decided to come rob me of my topiary tree.  It kind of looked like this:
but it was planted in the ground...!

Who freaking goes to someone's house, digs up a tree and runs off with it?!

I'm so infuriated.  Seriously, pissed.

I want another one, but I don't want someone to lift that one too...

Maybe I'll sit out on the front porch...
don't think they'd mess with my trees then...

First, it was punk kids kicking over our lights, now theft.

Not cool little surburanites, not cool...

I'm Just Sayin'



I'm joining up with Amber today for 'I'm Just Sayin'.

When asked your political stance, in any form, to say a politician's name proves you to be ignorant.  So, when having a debate or on facebook, if you reply, "Obama", which is the most common of this offense I have seen lately, I will automatically think you really have no clue and are....kinda sad.  Not because you share the same ideals and values that you can articulate and they happen to be aligned with an individual, but because at that point, I really don't think you know and are just trying to be 'trendy'.  And 'trendy' voters really are the best...I'm just sayin'...

To the people that use the *f* word, or for that matter any other curse word in ordinary conversation excessively...really??  I know you are smarter than that, and there are a few people that are very, very close to me that seem to have this issue after spending time with certain people who do this, but there are many other adjectives, nouns and verbs that can supplement those otherwise offensive and rather lazy words. I understand if you use them in anger, not going to say I don't from time to time, but really, it is not an *f-ing* banana, it is a yellow, nutritious banana.  See...easy.  I'm just sayin'...

To ABC, and the tv magic dudes behind the crack series 'The Bachelor/ette'.  Why did you pick the next bachlorette?  What purpose does she serve as that?  She kind of annoyed me on the show and you're bringing her back for a whole lotta spotlight?  I'd stay away from your series, but for some reason I can't.  I guess I enjoy watching other people that I don't know's drama (hey, at least it's not my life) but you've pretty much ruined  next season for me.  I mean, I really liked Alli at first, but I really didn't care for her towards the end so maybe the next chick, who I don't like, will grow on me?  I doubt it, but I'm sure I'll give it a shot.  Seriously though, you've gotta pick better people...I mean, at least get a guy with a personality next time...Brad's pretty, but that seems to be all he has going for him....I'm just sayin'...
(I find out spoilers from a guy called RealitySteve.  Only check him out if you're ok with having spoilers, but if you're not don't look yet or it will ruin the show for you.)

Day 11: 30 Day Photo Challenge

So, Day 9 was supposed to be: A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most, but I don't really like that one.  I'm actually going to go ahead and announce that I will be skipping Days 9 & 10 because I just don't really like either of those topics and am going to skip down to:


Day 11-A picture of something you hate
Dirty Dishes.  No, this is absolutely not my house.  It is however, my nightmare.  All those yucky germs...gross...


Black Olives.  Yuck!

Day 8: 30 Day Photo Challenge


Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh

Sumo Wrestling suits...oh yea.  I was schooling my friend Tiff and apparently rubbing it in (as seen by my finger pointing in her face).  It was hilarious, we could not stop laughing the whole time :)
