New Shelf

I needed a project so I bought this shelf and some paint from Roberts. I hung it above my desk in my bedroom. I love it and I really needed another spot for books. Everyone like? I know the little cream frame needs a picture, blah blah blah. I've had the frame out for 2 years without one. I don't plan on adding one anytime soon. I think I need to get rid of that rot red heart though. Meh.

Carmel Apple Suckers

They are my favorite, I love them. And apparently Tonka does too because he shares one with me almost daily. And he's figured out where they are in one of the night stands too, oops.

I had a root canal today, thus the lack of facial picture. I'm swollen. So here is the I-had-a-root-canal-so-I-bought-new-sweats-to-watch-the-new-Harry-Potter in edition. YAY!

More

I've spent the last several weeks trying to figure out what I want. In life, in love, in the future. And all I can conclude is that I want more. I want more than Doba would ever offer, I want more than Chris was ever capable of giving, I want to be bigger than I think possible. I just want more.

I want a job that I enjoy going to each day, I want to be challenged. I didn't have either of those things the last year I worked at Doba and I knew it. Part of it was on me, I think the other part was the direction of the company. There wasn't any more oomph, employees were no longer first on the list and things just changed. I didn't enjoy it any more.

I want to be with a man that makes me a priority. I want to be all they think about. I want to be needed. I want someone that pushes for our relationship to move forward. I want someone that stands up for me. I want a man that is proud to be with me, someone that shows me off, instead of dating me only when convenient for them. I want a guy that takes me someplace wearing a suit. I mean good god, I've never been anywhere where a suit and tie was dress code. That request may be small and insignificant, but I want it. I deserve more than the guys I've dated the last 3 years.

I want more from life. I want to be really happy. I want to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning again. Instead of having to give myself a pep talk just to get into the shower. I just want more, and I don't know exactly what it takes to get it, but at least I have a goal now. Improvement in itself.

Fireplace, Dr. Mario, and Living Room Sleepovers

I'm unemployed and bored out of my mind. So my sweet Dad let me borrow their Wii so I can play Dr. Mario! I was the queen freaking bee of this game back in the day, seriously. I'm not as good any more but I'm happy to have something to kill an hour here and there.

We also got our fireplace working! So we decided to sleep in the living room one night by the fire. It was way fun! You can kinda see the flames in this photo.

Fajita Tradition

Holli, Madi, and I started a tradition years ago. Whenever the Rents go out of town we (and by we I mean I) make chicken fajitas for dinner and we also buy Butterfingers. The first time we did this we ate fajitas and Butterfingers for dinner every night for an entire week. What can I say? My fajitas are just that good.

So my parents went to California to visit Madi, Brady, and KK for Thanksgiving and of course Holli and I continued the tradition and added margaritas to the mix. Yum! I love to cook.

Going Raw

Soo Holli and I are going on the Raw Food Diet. Sorta. She is going to do it pretty hard core, because she has to for her health. I live with her and it's just easier if we eat similar things, so I'll be doing portions of it too.

She went and bought a bunch of fruit and I bought the veggies. I just spent the last hour washing and dividing and cutting it all up. Look how easy breakfast, lunch, and snacks are!

Veggies: Carrots, broccoli, olives, green beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber. Dip: Hidden Valley Green Onion dip

Fruits: Red and green apples, mandarin oranges, peaches, cantalope, bananas. I put a little lemon juice in each one as well to keep everything fresh. I didn't add the bananas, because they would go rotten too fast, but we've got those too.

The Lovely Bones

I'm so excited to see this movie! I really liked this book and lets face it, I like anything with Mark Wahlberg. He is YU-UM. In fact, I think I'll watch Three Kings now. And then maybe Shooter.

Ummm... Yeah. He's crazy in love with me.
