Happy Bday Corral Pal!!

Today we celebrate the birth of one of the most amazing, unique, and fun-loving people I know....she was my first friend at SMU and God surely blessed me putting this girl in my life! Her wedding is just around the corner and while I'm devastated I can't be in Cowtown this weekend to participate in the bachelorette festivities, I'm eagerly counting down the days until I see this crazy, wonderful, smiling face next month!!!

 Just chillin' in the Prius, solo. Probably has the heat seaters on full blast even though it's about 78 degrees outside.

Happy Birthday Shufy!! Love you and miss you TONS!

(I almost posted the videos of your Cali road-trip singing performance....I decided against it, but they may be making an appearance at the wedding...just a heads up!)

I Don't Wanna Be Mean, But....

9:30am, Saturday, Starbucks

What you don't see: the full makeup, that's a dress, not a skirt, and the large, pink, monogrammed canvas bag she was carrying. Potential explanations: She's going to In Cahoots tonight and won't have time to go home and change beforehand. She thought "Star"-bucks was a place aspiring movie stars (who want to do low budge porn) hang out. 

Most likely: She just got off the late shift at Cheetahs and is getting her studying done because she "only dances to put herself through school". 

I swear I'm not a terrible person.

This was my view after work, on my walk/run

If you look really closely, you can see the dolphin fin! There was a pod of them playing in the water.

Simple little reminder...find your balance.

Spring!

This, to me, means Spring. 

For the first time since high school, I've been able to witness the planting (and soon blooming!) of the famous Flower Fields. It's not an exaggeration that this picture above basically captures what I see driving into work everyday. 

I think I'll be eating lunch outside more often in the near future!

Seriously Hawaii? I should've been giddy checking in for my flight. #rude

Preach sista, preach!

It could start a revolution.

Monday, Thursday?

It's Monday, and I was having a serious case of them well before 7 this morning. But, it's also Thursday, because come Wednesday morning, this chica will be flying over the Pacific Ocean headed for the island paradise known as Hawaii.

Since I'll be sporting that always scary piece of clothing known as a bathing suit in 48 hours, I decided a trip to the gym this morning was a good idea. I had everything laid out and ready to go so when my alarm clock buzzed at 6am I could shuffle out to my car and make it to the 6:30 plyometrics class. Best laid plans right? Alarm goes off, I grab my stuff, get out the door and realize....I don't have my car keys. And yes, I locked the apartment door behind me. FAIL. Silver lining, remembered we have a spare hidden. Keys recovered, on the road and still might make class....as I realize I've driven past the exit, toward work. Exit, turn around, get to the gym, not in time for class, but still enough time for a round on both the stair climber and the treadmill. 

Truly though, I think it's more than a case of the Mondays; it's early onset vacation mindset. This weekend in California was GLORIOUS. I went to the beach AND the pool. I have (faint) tan lines! So gas is $5 and my paycheck is taxed at an absurd amount. My weekend looked like this, in March:

Now, I just have to get through "Thursday and Friday" with some semblance of focus.....

On repeat
