Headlines, Edition 6

This headline:
It was found in our local paper!
That just sounds bad...


This sign:
Who would want this ugly sign in THEIR nursery, 
especially considering the improper use of THEIR?! 
That's one of my biggest pet peeves ever--it annoyed me to even look at it!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday, Edition 8

Awkward:

Creepo from the bank asking me where I get my dresses, because he thinks I always look "impeccably beautiful."

Said creepo from the bank wearing the same clothes everyday: blue sweatpants, brown zip up hoodie, blue keds, and a beanie.  No matter how warm it is!

Sending the person you're talking about the text that was intended for your best friend. Oops...


Awesome:

Grandy's Rolls

Ted's flour tortillas 

*obviously I love carbs! lol

The Office and Outsourced--the reason I love Thursdays!

Wordless Wednesday...New Sister

I have decided to start yet another blog series!
Wordless Wednesday--which, as the title alludes to, will be self-explanatory photos.  I will give you a few words on the title that will tell the theme.  These photos may be old favorites, recent pictures I have taken, or pictures I love from the internet.

Hopefully this will ensure that I will post at least three times a week--Monday Lustday, Wordless Wednesday, and Awkward & Awesome Thursday.

30 Posts of Truth, Edition 30

Prompt #30: A letter to yourself. Tell yourself everything you love about yourself.

*I find this prompt a little weird, so I apologize for not going into great detail.


Dear Lana,
Through this blog series, you have learned a lot about yourself, as well as opened yourself up to the world.  Honesty is very important in every aspect of life.  You need to be honest with yourself, as well as with others.

Continue to be strong, outgoing, independent, goal-oriented, and make sure to never fall short of your dreams.


I finally finished this blog series! It's been a great adventure and I hope you have enjoyed it.

Headlines, Edition 5

I haven't had time to compose an Awkward & Awesome Thursday post, so instead, you get headlines!
Maybe next week I'll do better...

Two things immediately catch my eye:
1. Beef Burguer? Interesting...
2.  Jam and Cheese Sandwich sounds...yummy? lol


Thousands of dollars for a massage? 
That better be one amazing massage!

30 Posts of Truth, Edition 29

I didn't feel like doing a Monday Lustday post today, so I decided to do the 29th post of my 30 Posts of Truth series!

Prompt #29: Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.


I hope to read my Bible more often and be closer to God.
I used to spend time working on my relationship with him every day.
I don't spend near enough time doing that anymore...

So Long Pop...It Was Good Knowing You...

Two years ago on V-Day, I gave up caffeine; partly by choice, but mostly because of doctor's orders.

This year on V-Day, I have decided to give up ALL pop. 
Which means no more Sprite, Root Beer, or Shasta.

Yay for healthy choices--too bad it comes with no energy.

I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG week at work...lol.

Awkward & Awesome Thursday, Edition 7

Awkward:

1.  That gayprofessionalsingles.com commercial.  Please tell me I'm not the only person who has seen it--it has two EMT's making out and it says "sometimes, work isn't the best place to meet gay professional singles." 
Maybe I should just stop watching late night tv...lol

2.  Texts/messages that only say "K." I mean come on, what's up with that? Why even waste a text if you're only gonna say "K."  It really just makes me mad. lol



Awesome:

1.  Vanilla Ice's dance to "Ice Ice Baby." A decade later and that dance is STILL bomb!

2.  The book/movie Sundays at Tiffany's.  I just finished the book yesterday and I re-watched the movie last night.  They're both really good!

30 Posts of Truth, Edition 28

I didn't think the original prompt was appropriate, so this is my edited version.

Prompt #28: Where is your favorite place you have visited?

New York. 
I love everything about the city.
There's always something to do--I love the hustle and bustle.
Plus, there's beaches within close proximity for when you need a break.

or this pink Glock 19--I like the way this gun shoots better than the revolver
 


Item #4:
this pink fishing pole

or this one...

Rose-Colored Glasses

I'm not wearing rose-colored glasses.
I can see your true colors, and I'm not impressed.

It takes more than words to show somebody you've changed.

Awkward & Awesome Thursday, Edition 6

Awkward:

1.  My creepy telephone fiance.  
He called back the other day and said "oh yeah, you're the one who rejected my marriage proposal."
I replied with, "First of all, I didn't reject it, I'm just still considering the proposition.  Secondly, I can't agree to marry you without seeing you first."
His response was, "Oh good, then we have a tentative engagement!" 
Oh my word...lol

2.  When the cap on the end of your high heel comes off. I now have two shoes that this happened to.  It makes awkward sounds when you walk, and makes me very sad :(

3.  Those KY commercials.  Seriously, they are incredibly awkward! Some things just shouldn't be put on television! 



Awesome:

1. The amazingly cute hair bows I just made

2.  Hearing Olivia giggle. She has discovered her voice this week and it's seriously the cutest thing I've ever heard.  Brightens my day every time :)

3.  The movie "Dear John."  I just love it!

Too Much Snow!!

I'm not a huge fan of snow.
I mean, I liked having snow days when I was in school and it's pretty and all....but, now that I'm a big girl, it just means no money :(

So much for a legit first paycheck! ha ha

I was called by 3 people before 7:00 this morning telling me not to come into work.  I was glad they called to let me know, but annoyed it took three people to get the point across. Every time I'd fall asleep they'd wake me back up! ha ha

Then on top of not being able to sleep in, I had a horrible migraine all morning! Like a legitimate mind numbing migraine. It was bad! 

I tried to shovel my car out of the snow drifts, but alas, no such luck.

I already called them and told them I wouldn't be at work tomorrow. 
Hopefully that means I can at least sleep in since I won't be getting paid and all...


I hope you enjoy this picture of the snow drifts behind my car, because I'm sure not enjoying it...
