Thursday Ramblins’

  • I get to see my best friend tomorrow. Hurry Up Friday at 4 PM CST!
  • I’m really hoping this made of recipe for the pork tenderloin I’m doing for dinner tonight works out.
  • Joel and I have been trying this new thing of ignoring Phoebe when she starts to meow between the hours of 1 and 5. I read online that cats meow to get attention, any type of attention is ok with them and ignoring them will teach them they won’t get what they want. Yeah, it didn’t work out so well for me last night. I don’t know if it was the lightening and the thunder, the fact that Joel wasn’t there or she just likes being a pain, but at about 2 she started meowing, came up on the bed and normally if you put your arm on her she’ll lay down and relax, yeah not last night.
  • My coworker, who leaves after me, normally prepares the coffee before she leaves so the 6:30 people can turn it on and at 7 it’s all ready when I get here. It hasn’t been done the last two days. This whole waiting for coffee 30 mins after I get here is bullshit.
  • Did I mention I get to see my best friend?
  • I really hope the weather clears up. My yoga studio is closed this afternoon and I was going to use the oppurtunity to get some sun. Fingers crossed.

I love Joel but sometimes a single girl dinner hits the spot. piece of bread, half avocado, 2 scrambles eggs and a piece of cheese. Oh and some sriracha sauce to top it all off! (Taken with instagram)

Video
[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

Friday night Joel and I ran up to Academy and Cabela’s to grab some ammo for this weekend. He picked up a targer that explodes when it get his with a strong enough bullet. So, I present to you the video of Joel shooting the target and everyone’s reaction.  If you listen really closely you can hear my uncle say “That was fucking awesome.” We are waiting for my aunt’s video to see the look on Joel’s face. The boom was a lot louder than I think we were all expecting!

When Joel told me he wanted to go out to my parent’s land this weekend I was really apprehensive. I’m a worrier and not knowing exactly where we are going to live come August and all the stuff we need to do before we go to Ocracoke at the end of June has me freaking the fuck out. But I agreed and although I will not admit it to him, I think it was exactly what we both needed. We were totally disconnected from everything for pretty much two days and it was great. Saturday, I overslept so we left a little later than we originally planned. We got out to the land, did a little work (not nearly as much as we usually do), and went out to this clearing my uncle made to shoot some guns.  Joel bought a gun a couple of months ago for home defense and since it’s important that I know how it works in case I ever need it, I did a little shootin’ too.. The top left photo is my target from my first round! Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Sunday we came home, I made dinner and we just spent the rest of the night relaxing and watching our new favorite TV show on Netflix, Sons of Anarchy. Monday we slept in, had lunch, went to the grocery store and came back to my place to do more relaxing.  We’ve been talking about making homemade pasta for several months and we finally did it! My aunt gave us her pasta maker, meat grinder and veggie/cheese grater. Joel’s job was to grind the organic steaks he bought a month ago and I made the pasta and the sauce. The top right photo Joel grinding the meat and the bottom phot is the final creation. Hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial day!

Weekend Plans..

Tonight: chilling at casa number two (aka Joel’s apartment) and eating Wednesday’s dinner because I’m an idiot and didn’t read the directions and left my mini food processor at my house.

Saturday: we are getting up at an ungodly early hour (6:30) for the weekend to leave and head to my parent’s land to do some work, shoot some guns and do a little drinking.

Sunday: coming home sometime in the afternoon.

Monday: sleeping in, chilling by the pool, getting afternoon drunk.

Now, I must wait to get the bat signal that we can peace out early. I’ve got another errand to run before 4:30 yoga (5th one this week!!). Was able to get in and out of Old Navy in 8 minutes with 6 tanks tops for a total of $26!! They are having a major sale so go getcha some stuff!!

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Thanks ladies! I’m not a two piece bikini girl at all (hello, self image issues!) but I’m working on it and this is the next thing for me to tackle! @thatgirlnamedsmash- that’s exactly the reason I picked them. For me, my problem area is my lower stomach so this will give it some nice coverage, at least that’s what I’m hoping for! @thelifeandtimesofenc- I’m stepping out of the box and ordering the paisley so I’m hoping it works! Someone told me I needed to widen my wardrobe color pallet and get something other than black.. She just didn’t realize I’d go this overboard with paisley!
