what time?

its official. i have zero time for myself anymore.  seems like as the days/weeks go by i get busier and busier and before you know it ill be staying up for 23 hours straight just to get everything done!

with a full time job consuming 8 hours of my day; a total of an hour commute to get to and from said full time job; spending an appropriate amount of time with my new found boyfriend (yes i said boyfriend. i know you've just had a heart attack. as did i when i said it for the first time this past weekend); taking care of my kitty and megan's pup when she's out of town and squeezing in my friends every chance i get; i have lost complete control.

i am sleeping on top of clean clothes (piled on my bed, of course), walking on top of dirty ones (piled on my floor) and living out of my vera bradley luggage. i havent done laundry in approximately 3 weeks. i have resorted to buying new clothes when i go to D's house so that i dont have to stress about packing outfits for an entire weekend (thank God for an adorable boutique downstairs from his condo!). i have rationed myself down to one towel after i shower, instead of my normal 2 (hair & body) so that i dont run out before i get a chance to wash some. i havent been to the gym in 3 weeks, and my stomach and thighs are living proof of that. my hair hasn't seen a curling iron in over a month, because when i get up in the mornings i am too exhausted to care. i have been out of my favorite face powder for days but havent had time to go by the mall. poor violet has spent so many nights alone in the recent weeks that she is starting to feel abandoned.

last night was spent running around like a headless chicken trying to get birthday gifts together, tonight i have the boyfriend's birthday dinner, tomorrow will be spent getting a spray tan and my nails done, and friday i have the boyfriends birthday celebration (youd think he was a 24 year old girl instead of a 33 year old man). 

saturday will be spent reminiscing St Patricks Day 2k9 in Savannah. the time of my life with all of my best friends from college. OLAY OLAYYY OLAY OLAYYYY. i miss you all terribly and wish we were roaming river street making friends and making out. id give anything to be in a cheap hotel room filled with 7 people and cold water showers.  just call me mr. leprachaun, i can make your sham rock.

you should know..

i got the following from a blog i follow Run With Me.  I am fairly certain that Ashley and I could be great friends in real life.  Mostly because we are both celebrity and fashion obsessed, former South Carolinians, gamecock fans and present day Atlantans.  One slight difference, she likes to run.  and well, working out for me is a straight up CHORE. either way, i figured i'd play along with her little survey, and then added 11 random facts about me. you should too :)

1.       Which Website do you visit the most?

i look at the Horry County Mugshot Gallery every day at work.  its a ritual. the best days are the ones where i find people i know on there.

2.       If you couldn't shave your legs or wax your eyebrows for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

id go without waxing my eyebrows, you can always pluck :) (see what i did there, tricky!)

 

3.       Name a talent you have

i have an incredible memory when it comes to song lyrics

 

4.       If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be?

my mom's aunt diane. from what i hear she was a remarkable person.

 

5.       If you had to go on a reality TV or game show, which one would you choose?

obviously the bachelor or bachelor pad (see random fact #1 below)

 

6.       If you were president, what's one law you would make?

everyone has to mind their own business. and we would have a national 2 week holiday every summer like China does. ok thats 2, but who cares :)

 

7.       What's your favorite smell? 

my blankie. it smells like comfort and familiarity which are 2 of the best feelings in the world.

 

8.       You have a spicy piece of gossip,  who's the first person you tell? 

my mom!

 

9.       What's your favorite thing about yourself?

physically- my boobs. i happen to think they are fabulous (thought could be bigger).

 

10.  what's your favorite holiday?

my birthday! what, you dont consider that a holiday? fine- Mardi Gras

 

11. What did you want to be when you grew up?

a stay at home mom. i got a minus (-) on my essay in the 3rd grade about how i wanted to be a mom when i grew up.  Ms. Buck was just bitter because she was 35 and single with no kids yet.

11 random things about me that you should know: 

• i am overly obsessed with the bachelor.  if you follow me on twitter you already know this; but if you don't, now you do.  i am certain that i belong on that show.  i dont necessarily believe in the "you can find love on a reality show" premise, but i definitely believe in the "you can have a great time, travel the world, meet a hot guy (minus Ben Flajnik), make best friends, and attend raging Bachelor family reunions." idea.  plus i'd like the be on Bachelor Pad.  i'd be phenomenal at playing the manipulative twisty mind games.

on my bday last year. met Mickey, Constantine and Ben.

• im addicted to diet coke.  like wake up with one every morning, drink with every meal and go to bed with it on my nightstand kind of addicted.  if it truly does cause cancer, im screwed.

not even possible to love something more

• i draw my eyebrows on. more like fill them in with a pencil and a powder, but i feel naked without them.

• i love gaudy gold jewelry.  i am so in love with the fact that "arm parties" are trendy right now because im obsessed. you'll rarely see me without my watch and bangles stacked on my left arm.  also layering necklaces and anything heavy and over the top looking.

• i was a size 4T until first grade.  id give up anything to be extremely petite again. besides my boobs of course.
• drama surrounds me in life. thank goodness its usually not directly connected to me, but my friends love to come to me with theirs.
• i write letters.  i got this from my mom, but ever since i was younger i've written letters to people and never given them. sometimes is about things that are bothering me or have upset me, sometimes its all good things.  some of them are stashed away but most of them eventually get thrown out.
• i went to see a psychic this past weekend. got my tarot cards read.  $45 and 30 minutes later i learned nothing new about myself excpet that all of my "distrust and negative engergy towards men" can be treated with a low-cost $150 spiritual healing session.  it was fun, never the less.

• there are few men in this world that i find sexier than Blake Shelton. i've always been a fan, but watching him on the voice made me fall in love

• i have 2 tattoos.  a violet on my right hip and "celebrate life" on my left. i could go without the violet, but i dont hate it.  however, i adore my celebrate life.  it represents so much to me.

and because i'm not in a creative mood and im running out of procrastinating time at work, i'll keep the questions the same as Ashley. why fix something that's not broken?
