T.G.I.F.

HOORAY! It's finally Friday!! Did anyone else's week seem like it was NEVER going to end!! 

So happy I am off the next 5 days! Can't wait to spend some serious family/friend time! Linking up with Lauren for my top 5 this week!

1. My sister sent me this me this video. How freaking precious is she!?! And don't you love that cute little Mississippi twang! 

2. Saw this on Pinterest, and it pretty much explains every new post I see on Facebook...and then me...

3. I watched this last night, I could watch it over and over and over again! It is HILARIOUS!! Perfect stocking stuffer if you are looking for last minute ideas!

4. My mom started making her famous sausage bread this past weekend. This shit is the cat's pajamas. If you like to bake, cook, eat, whatever! You should hit me up for this recipe!

5. MY BESTIE IS COMING HOME TODAYYYY!!! She was swept off her feet by some foreigner and they moved to London, but they are back tonight! **Dearest liver, I am sorry for the booze I am about to put you through! 

I hope everyone has a fabulous and safe holiday! 

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Feliz Navidad! and all that good stuff!

T.G.I.F.

I'm back for #H54F, since I have been on my hiatus. Linking up with Lauren.

1. FINISHED my Christmas shopping last night! Just waiting on a few things to come in via mail, and I am good to go!

2. Signed up for my first 5k this weekend. I'm super excited!

3. He is a child, and I'm ok with it!

4. Santa has lost his battle with my sister's kids!

5. I can't get enough of the elf on the shelf pictures on facebook, twitter, TV. I am super jealous this wasn't around when I was a kid!

Everyone have a fab weekend!!

Oops.. I Did it Again

So remember that whole spiel I wrote like over a week and a half ago about my procrastination issue? (feel free to take the time now to scroll back through your emails to see when my last update was…) 

Anyway, lets just say I purposely didn’t write just so that post would be more relevant. We all know this isn’t true.

Truth is, I’ve just been super busy. What with work, and Christmas shopping, and my friends forcing me to go downtown and practically pouring liquor down my throat, I haven’t had time to read an email.

Ok that’s not true either since online shopping has been my priority, for weeks now all I do is refresh my inbox to see if an item has shipped!

Tonight though, I am on a mission to finish what I have started.

I have made like 37 lists, all of which get tossed in the trash or scribbled over, or lost, and I have to start a new one.

I am seriously stumped on what to get my stepdad. I mean he is the type that loves a knick-knack, crazy stuff that if he wants it, he buys it. (It’s true O)

So, the only ideas you are left with are a sleeveless Harley Davidson tee, or a tervis tumbler.

Basically, if you have any ideas for a horse loving, motorcycle riding, cool as the other side of the pillow, stepdad don’t be shy to send some ideas my way!

Other than that, Fritz and I will be done!

Besides the fact that I have bought NOTHING for Fritz, but as he was removing all the stuffing from Bruno, his bull, the other night, I began to wonder why even get him toys at all.

Then I remembered because he would probably begin to remove the stuffing from the couch. Scratch that, Mallory’s couch…

Procrastinators Unite...Tomorrow

I’m not really sure where I get my procrastination habits. I’ve been this way since high school, putting papers, and homework, and studying off until the last nanosecond. So much so, if I had a test 8^th period I would just study during all of my classes that day.  It’s a terrible habit, but hey, I’ll work on it…tomorrow.

I wanted to make a post on Thanksgiving for all the things I'm thankful for, but some how it ended up the Tuesday after turkey day and I didn’t have it done… 

So here is an edited list of my top fave's 

I’m thankful for my friends, without them life would suck.

I’m thankful for my family, mostly for dealing with me.

Im thankful for this picture of Kris Jenner.

I’m thankful for F R I E N D S. without the 6 of them, my life would not be as sarcastic as Chandler, as clean as Monica, as fashionable as Rachel, as witty as Ross, as naïve as Joey, and as hysterically weird as Phoebe. (‘ello there mate!)

and of course I’m thankful for Fritz, he’s a girl's best friend, and my child on four legs.

Now, it’s practically December. Seriously where did the year go? I feel like I was just buying party hats for Fritz’s first birthday. The whole, “time flies when you get older,” is no joke. At this rate, I need to mentally begin preparing for my 25^th birthday. FAUCK!

On the plus side I have a head start on my Christmas shopping…

On the ridiculous side, every time I buy something for someone else, I buy myself something too…

T.G.I.F.

THE WEEKEND HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!! My most anticipated one of the whole year! LSU vs Ole Miss! Seriously, hands down, the best time of year. All of my friends, both high school and college, TOGETHER! same state and all!!!

Can you tell im stoked?

Linking up with Lauren to for my other top 5 moments of the week!

1. My sister sent me this picture of Caroline, she is so effing cute. Made my Monday that much better. Jackie is coming into town tonight for the game, and leaving C here for the rest of the week until Thanksgiving. SO excited to spend a little extra time with her!!

2. Mal and I put up our Christmas tree. It looks so good, better than last year i think! 'Tis the Season!

3. This is my moms shopping cart from Sams. She decided she wanted a "fun" tree, instead of her normal formal one. SO SO SO excited she is in the spirit this year. 

4. We had Game Night #3 on Sunday. I made muffulettas. They were ok. Not as big of a hit as my sliders were last month.

5. This is a picture from Ole Miss vs LSU in Oxford, circa 2009, seriously one of the best trips ever. Except it wasn't a trip for me, but majority of my Baton Rouge friends came to Oxford. Let's just say I was INCREDIBLY lucky that this game falls on the weekend before Thanksgiving break. Both me and my liver needed the rest.

I hope everyone has a great a weekend as I will!

#HottyToddy #GeauxTigers

I don't really care who wins, I'm just here for the party :)

My Name is Jennifer..

And I'm a Shopaholic...

Welcome, to my first unofficial SA meeting.

I’m not quite sure when this began, but my tendencies to resist buying whatever I want have disappeared. UNWILLINGLY.

I am pretty much under the impression my bank account is ever funding and the non-existent zero’s, do exist!

To make matters worse, I cleaned out my closet last night and all the empty hangers have left me feeling that I have no clothes.

The truth is I really don’t have as many clothes, as say, myroommatewhoseclosetisfullandcouldntfitapieceofpaperinbetweenherworkshirtsandcasualshirts.

This has lead me to believe I am in sort of competition, that she is unaware of, until she reads this.  :) 

I am fortunate enough to not need to separate work clothes with casual clothes, meaning, clothes I would wear out to grab dinner, I would totally wear to work. Maybe this is why my rods aren’t buckling in the middle, due to the weight; because I don’t need to separate my everyday life from my weekend life.

Pinterest doesn’t help. I envy the person who designed this fabulous website. 

Why don’t I think of things like this? 

The income from such creativity would really help with my pending addiction.

It has also turned me into an exquisite cook and a fabulous designer, for the house I one day hope to own, but these are discussions for another day. 

I feel like our game nights have turned into a “who found the best recipe on pinterest” night.

I’ll stop babbling now, while you all trickle off to pin new things… 

NO LOVE NOVEMBER

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s nothing like the holidays to remind you, 

you are Oh. So. Single.

Remember in my about me, when I said I’d chat about it’s ok to be single in your semi-mid twenties? Well, here I am, following through…

If you’re anything like me, the thought of seeing one more friend on facebook get engaged is going to send you right over the edge; the edge of that cliff I mean.

It’s like some sick joke the world is playing on you, right?

WRONG!

Easier said that done, but you can’t let it get you down.

Life goes on, whether you’re single or not. So why sulk about it when things could be so much worse?

Yep, it sucks not having that little jewelry box under the tree. And yes, it sucks when your fam keeps asking if you are seeing anyone, and you want to respond with, “Yeh, lots of anyone’s – Jim, Jack, Jose….”; but you just shake your head firmly and change the subject back to how cute the little ones are.

At my age, my sister was planning her wedding, which is kind of depressing, considering I don’t even have a backup to plan a faux wedding. But honestly, as I was being filmed - toasting myself in the corner of her wedding reception with two champagne glasses, I was toasting myself to find someone who made me as happy as her new hubby makes her.

So when you’re feeling blue, remember it’s worth the long agonizing wait, rather than settling just because you need someone to feel the void.

Take the time to figure out what makes yourself happy, and to bond with your friends.

I’m probably definitely giving myself a pep talk here; but seriously, when your enjoying that free drink the cute boy at the bar bought you, bask in the attention and stop making yourself think he is going to father your children. 

More likely than not, you’ll never see him again. 

Trick-or-Treat!

It’s true what they say: ”The older you get the faster time flies”

How is it practically November??

I feel like I just celebrated my birthday… which was in July…

This past weekend was so much fun! I got to spend Saturday with my niece, Caroline. I took her to the book fair, which turned out to be pretty fun. Check it out..

 she wouldn't take a picture with "ookie monstr" alone..

she made "Bear" take one with Clifford. This was HYSTERICAL

This guy is just too precious not to show....

That night was Halloween downtown. I really hate Halloween, I don’t like to dress up, and I don’t like scary movies – except Hocus Pocus. Which I’d like to take the time to say ABC Family’s 13 nights of Halloween should really be called 13 Nights of Hocus Pocus, I’m not complaining, but seriously...

Anyway, back to the point, this Halloween was a blast!

 side note: Dirty Twister won 3rd place! So proud to call him my friend haha!

Happy Trick-or-Treating tomorrow!

Hope it’s more Treats than Tricks 

Welcome, Friday!

1. I made my first ever roast this week! It was NOT good, but this a picture of my roux. It started out ok, but I overcooked it and I didn’t make enough gravy.

2. So, our tech room at work was a NIGHTMARE! I decided to spend my day cleaning out 10 years of accumulated paper, trash, and frito’s. Yes, that’s right a frito from probably 2008 was under a desk. VOMIT.

3. This weekend, my favorite little tykes are coming to visit! SO excited.

4. I started my Friday off with a Venti. Very much needed.

5. This sheriff is in character, searching for the bad guys here…

Holy Productive Sunday!

I haven’t had such a successful Sunday in forever…

Friday, I decided to catch up on my DVR. What was life like before these? This reminds me I need to watch Heart of Dixie. Anyway Friday, I snuggled up with my remote and fritz to watch Grey’s, The Vampire Diaries, and Jersey Shore. I know I have a disgustingly large TV load. You don’t have to judge me, I already judge myself. If it is any consolation, I am a reader…

Saturday I watched, napped, during the LSU game – then spent the afternoon with my grandparents. This was overdue.

But TODAY! I don’t know what came over me… I woke up and went to church. My church attendance has been a little non-existent lately, which is not good, I’m working on that. After church malpal and me went off on a shopping spree. Except I didn’t really spree, I looked at, picked up, thought about, and didn’t buy. And now, I'm having remorse for what I left on the shelf. I did buy a new outfit, and a necklace, and a super cute new coffee cup!

I feel like this is going to put a good spin on my week. Good karma, if you will. I’m a firm believer…

BEEP! BEEP! Have a good week!

German Sheriff Pointer

There’s a Snake in My Boot….

what.a.stud.

Wednesdays are becoming my Mondays, apparently. This weekend was S U C C E S S F U L.. Seriously, as successful as one birthday can get. Everyone was in full party mode. Or maybe my beer Vodka goggles were on too tight, because it was fun! I pretty sure calling the dinosaurs in your bff’s backseat is a definition for job well done. And it wasn’t even my birthday! Oh well, this was the first birthday for my group of friends that we really partied for, so I feel like it was all of ours, rolled into the one night. Sunday was spent sleeping, because – seriously – that’s all I could do.

At target I stumbled across this outfit for Fritz to wear for (anytime I’m feeling blue) Halloween. He really didn’t mind the vest, the hat either, once I gave him his handcuffs. I’m pretty sure this picture is the cats meow for any of you reading this.

Tonight is our October Game Night. YAHOOOOOO! Can’t wait to spark fuse with my girl fran’s; plus, it’s Erin’s real birthday, so maybe we’ll spark some candles….

Actually, I don’t know if we are doing that…

Anyways – good day to you deputy

T.G.I.F.

1. I got some new make up, and I’m really excited to use it this weekend. I finally got some stuff to highlight under my eyes. Don’t ask me really what time means, I just know what it is from my good pal, Mal.

2. Wednesday, October 10^th was my first full year at work! I cant believe I have been there for a year already! Time is flying by getting old. Damn.

3. 17 miles to E. STORY-OF-MY-LIFE! I hate to pump gas. So much so, this dropped to 7 miles to E, before I filled up.

4. Erin’s birthday festivities start tonight! Can’t wait for dinner at Kabuki! Yayy! Let the {{shit-show} festivities begin!

5. Just a preview of our Fritz sleeps…. In my spot… from one side of the bed to the other…

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm Going Cornatose...

I.CANT.STOP.EATING.CANDY.CORN.

Seriously.

How in the eff is it already Wednesday??!

I was going to blog Sunday night about how amazingly relaxing and not at all exciting my weekend was, but I didn’t. I hate Sunday’s. I hate them so much. Who likes a day that you have to get all your shit together for a whole other week? I’d rather Monday morning, than Sunday evening. I get the Sunday’s Blues like it’s nobodies business. Yeh, I’ve participated in the Sunday Funday action, and yeh, there is good TV; but, in reality, it’s the day you have to go home, or the day your vacation ends, or the day before some awful week may or may not prevail.

I stayed at my moms all weekend. I hate leaving her house, even on a weeknight. I wish she lived closer. Here is where she is thinking, Why don’t you live closer? Well mom, you live in B F E. By the time I got up and ready for work I’d be an hour late. This isn’t high school where I can sleep in my uniform, get up, brush my teeth, wash my face, and hit the road, Jack!

Enter high school nostalgia here

Monday and Tuesday just flew by. I guess cause I was busy those days, or maybe it’s because I have been in a candy corn coma since Sunday, and I'm just now realizing my sugar high.

Erin got Fritz this sweet toy for Halloween.

 He ripped its face apart last night. But look at this picture, how can you say no to him?!?

Now we are half way to the weekend, and I'm trying to prepare my liver. Erin’s birthday celebration is this weekend, and I have a feeling candy corn is not going to be my biggest problem.

Vomiting. Partying is. 

Sweet Baby Jesus, It's FRIDAY!

Can I get an Amen?

Has anyone else’s week been as terrible as mine?? I have a few perks here and there, but work wise this week has been HORRIBLE. Probably the worst one I’ve ever had while working here, which is depressing, because I really like my job.

Ok, I'm done with my bitch session. Check out my top 5 moments of the week, I'm linking up with Lauren.

1. Sunday, me and my friends went to the movies, and Erin and I snuck in Starbucks Pumpkin Lattes (my first of the season delish!) BUT, more importantly, we went and saw Pitch Perfect. You should probably just stop reading this post, grab a group of gals, and go see this, IMMEDIATELY. I T  I S   H Y ST E R I C A L. Like, I was I literally knee slapping, I was laughing so hard. Rebel Wilson is one of the funniest people on the big screen right now.

2. Monday, Dani and me went to the neighborhood Walmart, I always forget it is right next to my apartment, and probably for good reason. (I didn’t like it), but they had this adorable pumpkin made out of Fanta and Coke Zero and Sprite’s and I had to take a pic!

3. I woke up the next morning to my car having been ransacked. The bastard took my emergency 10 dollars! What a wanker. That was about as cool as Nick Saban <-douche

4. Wednesday, Erin and I took a walk around the lakes. She snapped this pretty pic. I am beginning to have a thing for nature. It was nice to catch up with Erin, I felt like I hadn’t seen her in ages, damn nurses.

5. This was my favorite of the week; the nice guy at the Thai restaurant gave me some trainer chopstick thingy, because I am less than pro when it comes to chopsticks. I swear that’s why Chinese people are so thin. I mean who can eat rice with a stick??

Hope everyone has a FAB weekend! I am going to learn how to cook a ham :) well, my mom never answer my text, but she is going to teach me whether she wants to or not....
