Awesome & Awkward Friday

A lot of this, flow, and jam happened this week.

• I kind of broke my iPhone (should be fixed next week), so I got to resurrect the droid. I sure have missed that "DROID" text tone. The best part? taking a walk down memory lane with my text history from Dec2012. That was a really good month for me.
• So glad to be back with my friends & family at QLF after Christmas break. I've taken way too many hard & fun classes this week.
• Which is why I need a boyfriend. Companionship? pass. Somebody to love? whatevs. Someone to massage out my knots and sore muscles? Yes! This is now my main dating motivation. So, anyone wanna put their hands on my body?
• I've been living in Mystic Falls every evening since Christmas. Almost done with my 4 season marathon so I can move on to Miami for some serial killing fun!
• Laura joined me for pump and flow this week. Now I need to convince her that she loves this more than crossfit.
• Had way too much time Thursday night, so I added a lot of "First Met" life events on facebook. What a blasty blast!

Awesome & Awkward Friday

• To say the last few weeks at work were overwhelming would be an understatement. So I was extra thrilled to not only have my boss back from vacation, but officially relocated to my office! (Seriously, Ang is the best.) I feel like my life is getting back to normal!
• Holly came to bodyjam with me on Tuesday! 
• Then she more willingly joined me for back, shoulders, and biceps on Wednesday. Unfortunately she gave herself food poisoning, so the workout was cut short.
• Next week Vampire Diaries returns! Rewatched the last ep yesterday and forgot how lovely the Kloraline and Delena scenes were. Ohhhh love.
• OMG. How has this not been mentioned in the first point? Dexter series finale? I die. Almost like Deb. I didn't not see that coming. I cried. Like ugly cried. It was too much. And then the show turned into Wolverine Origins. hmmmm. I felt very conflicted about it. BUT then I read some of the writers interviews about why/how they came up with the ending and now I feel at peace about it.
• And finally...The Challenge: Rivals 2. Such a good season. I suppose that's actually code for a whole season of Wes and CT. And they won! It was a first for CT, and redemption for Wes because it's been a long while since he won. I was so thrilled to see that they overcame their animosity and are like friends now. It was beautiful!

Awesome & Awkward Friday

• Work, Freebirds, sleep. Yeah, that's basically been my week. 
• One of my friends played golf with Draco this week. Unfortunately he's not a Harry Potter fan so he didn't get my references to Death Eaters. Who doesn't know about that stuff? 
• Talked to Dad about dating and boys. He said that dating is like hunting: you set the bait and trap 'em. Similar to my theories.
• USPS won't deliver my package. I always have things shipped to work, but this time they are saying there is something wrong with the address. I double checked what I put on the order, and it's our address. #annoyed
• Yep, that's about it.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

And the silence is broken!

• I cook ever week, but it doesn't typically go beyond my weekly meal prep of baked chicken and veggies. But Sunday I was feeling extra crazy and made this. Delish! Make it asap.
• And then I got extra extra cray and made this Monday night. Welcome back old Jes, I sure have missed you!

• Anyone else watching Dexter? Who do you think the killer is? A lot of the new characters seem super sketch this season, but I'm still betting on Dr. Vogel. 
• That awkward moment when you are watching the final scene from last weeks Teen Wolf and you start to get choked up because it's so beautiful done, and the music is really bringing the emotion...then you realize that you don't actually watch this show so you have no idea what's going on. Then the next ep start in an all white room that's reminiscent of Harry Potter because three of the main Teen Wolf characters just died to make a sacrifice and you are half expecting to see fetus Voldy, but instead it's a tree stump, and you are like whaaaa? Because once again, you don't actually watch this show.
• Had a movie date with Holly Thursday night. Mortal Instraments...I just can't. The previews caught my attention, but I wasn't buying into the story.
  
  

Awesome & Awkward Friday: Rage Edition

Things bother me all the time. Daily. So today, we are going to discuss that today.

Linking up with Lauren for the weekly happs!

• When people try to talk to you while you are on the phone with someone else. Especially when they ask you if you are on the phone, you say yes, then they proceed to talk to you. WTF.
• Miley's new song. And the fact that I like it. I hate myself.
• When you forget to thaw out chicken and now have nothing except veggies for lunch. It is far too hot in Houston to be walking anywhere to get lunch. Ugh. I die. (but really, I might!)
• When all of the treadmills are empty, and yet someone gets on the one right next to me. Why you gotta be so close? And why are you taking a leisurely stroll?
• When you start "Health Club" with Steve so you can't have sweets until Saturday but it's Friday morning and you are thinking about how you would consider shanking someone for a fresh glazed donut right now, but you don't want to show weakness.
• When you finally cook brussel sprouts correctly and realize you have missing out on this deliciousness for so long!
• When you get back from vacation and eatting like a crazy person so now you are retaining more water and fat then before you left. Ugh. 

What's making you rage this week?

Awesome & Awkward Friday

Happy Friday! I'm ready for a relaxing weekend, and some pre packing since I'm headed to the Panhandle on Wednesday! So ready to to see Steve, my family, and a few friends.

Linking with with Lauren.

• Jess attended leg day! Even though my workouts seem to take longer because there's more talking involved, I sure do love having a workout partner.
• Whipped up a few of these. So delish!



White chocolate covered Oreo.



• Steve's Bday was Thursday! Can't wait to celebrate with him next week!

• Some of my fave work girls all dressed in the same color family.



Me, Laura, and B



Awesome & Awkward Friday

Linking up with Lauren to recap the week!

• The dream team was back together for one night! 

Car + Jes = amaze!

•  Made some amazaballz cookies! Yes, that's chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, marshmallows, and pretzels. Delish!

• 3 years (+1 week) ago I adopted Matilda. I love her almost as much as I love real people.

•  National Running Day! And I was able to get in a quick 1.5 mi (injury free!) to celebrate!

•  I was exceptionally tired this week, so I split this between Wed & Thrs.

• B cooked dinner Wednesday night so we could watch the Pretty Little Liars review. Yes, we took notes:

photo from B's instagram

•  Bet you thought we were going to make a whole post without mentioning Steve...yeah, right! Steve noticed that I wrote "OMG! Sooooo old!" on his birthday...Am I the best gf or what?

Awesome & Awkward Friday

4 day weeks are always my favorite, until they seem like the week that never ends. I've decided to crawl out of my cave and have some socialization lined up for the weekend! Yay for attempting to be less of a weirdo.

Awesome

• I got to start my week out with Steve! Monday's aren't so bad when that happens.
• Since all of my shows are on summer break I have so much time for activities....like season 3 of TVD!
• After taking it easy, and having many restless nights, my back is feeling better!
• After a two week hiatus, I jammed on Tuesday. It was so great to dance "Til The World Ends" and go to "Paris."
• Switched up my workouts, and my shoulders and chest are still sore! I love it.
• After cooking for Steve last weekend, I am getting the urge to put my baking skills to use.
• Getting a text from Anna, one of my high school BFFs and fellow Titanic enthusiast, that she inherited a first edition of this book:

So excite to have a reunion so I can get my hands on this thing!

Awkward

• I dropped my curling iron on myself again. Hopefully I will remember to wear more clothes when messing with hot objects after this happening twice. It burns.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

This week was on turbo speed. And I'm pretty sure that today is the most challenging day I've had in a month. Challenge accepted.

Linking up with Lauren.

THis is only here becase 1. I don't have any pics to suppliment the post with, and 2. I would love to be baking with Bieber.

Awesome

• Steve will be here tonight!
• I learned some cool new pole tricks thanks to Kelly & Tiffany's classes.
• 3 day weekend
• I discovered that I'm finally ready to love cottage cheese - and it's delish!

Awkward

• I ended up in line behind a couponer. Who the efff needs 15 bottles of shampoo and 20 mini hand sanitizers? Are you really that dirty? Or am I that dirty because I'm not buying as much? And can you please give the people joining the line warning.
• Those new pole moves I learned? Yeah, Put a big of a strain on my back. Everything hurt when I got home Tuesday night. Even laying down. It's better, but still giving me flashbacks to the back fiasco of 2012, so I've been taking it easy this week.
• After having a two season Vampire Diaries binge, I decided to take a week off and rejoin the real world. I'm 5 days TVD sober, and I'm suffering from massive withdraws!

Awesome & Awkward Friday

What a wonderful week! (that might be a lie, I can hardly remember most of the days because I've been so busy) But I feel happy now, so I figure things must have gone well!

Linking up with Lauren to discuss.

•  I finally remembered to pick some of this up...and I love it!

• Running is finally going well. After weeks of no pain, I was finally able to work in more than one run. Working on rebuilding a base so I can rock some winter races!

• I practically spent the week in Mystic Falls. One of my fave things is sharing my fave things with others, and them liking it! Since I was able to recruit a more "believers" I celebrated by re watching Vampire Diaries season 1 this week.
• TVD season finale last night? INSANE! So many emotions! I can't wait for my fellow watchers to get caught up so I can discuss...since that will take a while there is a good chance I'll share my thoughts here in blog land.
• Beyonce cancelled a concert due to exhaustion (code word pregnancy). I started to worry that she would cancel the Houston show...and then I remembered that I wasn't able to get tickets. #fail
• And how could I go without mentioning how excited I am to see Steve next week!!!!

• Just because it makes me laugh:

Awesome & Awkward Friday

FRIDAYYYYYYY! Is here. What a wonderful week. Knocked out some good workouts. Ate less sweets than usual. Missed spin both days because I couldn't manage to get out of bed before 6:30 :( But got in a run. Steve is here in two weeks!

Linking up with Lauren to share the highlights!

• Soooooooooooo, I got Justin Timberlake tickets! 

source

• I showed Steve how to add emojis to his phone. And then he tried to mash them up with hastaging. #fail
• Made this:

• I read ahead 4 chapters (aka finished the book). Steve promptly kicked me out of book club. Who does he think he is? AND as punishment? He refuses to finish it so we can discuss all of my negative feelings about Daisy. 
• TVD: Seriously, can we just turn Matt into a vampire? I'm so over watching him get hurt and worrying if he's going to get killed off! I have way too many emotions linked to this show, and this is just making it worse! Can't wait for the season finale next week.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

This week was a huge win compared to the last. I only cried once, and it was because of Vampire Diaries. Way better than the shit show that was April 22-26. Can someone please compel me to forget about that?

Linking up with Lauren for my weekly happs.

Awesome

• Halfway point until I Steve will be here! 3.more.weeks.
• Nick Miller finally maned up! Great New Girl ep after their rando schedule these last few weeks.
• Jam release last week. so naturally  Jess, Warren, & I had some #frontrowdomination. AND Jess loves it so much that she's been jamming with me every chance she gets!



Jess + Me + Warren

• Laura drank the #hastagkoolaid and we had our first # email convo.
• "Jam is a place where you check your morals at the door."
• I got to have a sleep over with Jess and Steven!

Awkward

• Andriod baby. That's all I will say, and I've probably said too much.
• I really wish that Vampire Diaries wouldn't release pics of future episodes. Matt's neck being snapped is not that big of a deal when I just saw a picture of him at graduation in the season finale.
• The original Red Dawn. What was that? Terrible, that's what. I feel asleep all three times that I tried to watch it. The remake was at least 100 times better. At least!
• I almost had to kick Steve out of book club for over achieving. 
• I keep managing to punch myself in the head during the Beiber song at Jam. ugh.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

I'm writing this from my bedroom at g-ma's house, which means this week ended a lot better than when it started!

Linking up with Lauren to share my weekly happs.

• I started Monday off right, by accidentally having part of my butt out on the elevator at work. Great! Thank you bag for pulling my dress up with every step, you sure made that a magical morning for the people that got to see it.
• The best week of my calendar.

•  Whoever writes these little messages must have become stupid. Or never fully taken this advice, because this is how you get yourself into a shit situation. Always use your head as a primary trust resource, and your heart as a secondary. 

• Jess tried to dodge the stairmill part of leg day by showing up late, but I didn't mind putting in an extra 10min so she would get the full 20. Best friend ever, right?

I'm waiting!

• National Sibling Day. (Seriously, who makes this shiz up?) BUT I'm glad I got to see #babymarsh anyway.

• Week 2 of increasing my water intake to a gallon was successful. At this point I have no trouble finishing it, and drink even more on cardio days. And yes, this is what I take with me everyday.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

Friday. I never thought I would see you again. I have missed you.

Linking up with Lauren to share the weekly happs!

• Sometime between Tuesday night and Thursday night someone decided to put a lock on my gym locker that contains my stuff. I always thought that the only risk of me not locking my own stuff was that someone would take it (but who would really want half used makeup and smelly high tops?). I never thought the real risk is that someone would put their lock on it so I can't get in! WTF! If it's still there Saturday then I'll see what I can do about getting it removed before I leave a hate note.

• A truck almost side swiped me, so I honked so they would know I was already in that spot because I don't want Matil to get beat up. The a hole driving proceeded to flip me off for a good thirty seconds, then when I passed him he swerved his truck at me. That day I almost killed a man. 
• Steve was introduced to my evil laugh...at his own expense. Sometimes I just can't help but crack jokes, and when I get on a roll it escalates quickly...like me asking him if he just got his period. Which I had forgotten about until he reminded me a few days later, and then I couldn't stop laughing again.
• Jam was insanely awesome on Thursday. I even got sweat in my eye! The whole gang was back together: Amanda, Katie, Stacey, Warren, & Myself. AND Katie did my fave back half. I love nothing more than dancing to *Nsync, Rihanna, and this song:

• AND I made birthday cake bark for Honey B's bday:

• This week kicked off with my best girl having her first baby! I can't wait to meet Orion in a few weeks!
• 4 day work weeks are the best.
• Kristen Bell jacked my baby name. WTF! And then Steve got his first taste of me freaking out. 
• Made it to bodyjam for the first time in over a week. I sure had missed Stacey & Amanda. We should probably brunch soon.

• Holly found this gem on her phone:

She thought black and white would class it up. I don't know why she doesn't think it's classy already?

• Got the countdown app so I can track the important things in life.

Awesome & Awkward Friday

This has been one of those weird weeks that seemed to drag on, but as I can't seem to remember what I did most days. I think I might need more sleep.

Linking up with From My Grey Desk & Life Rearranged.

• I have been killing it with the domestic stuff lately and cooking all but 2 of my meals each week. We are back in business!



Red Pepper, Lemon, Garlic Pasta

• Went to this:

• On Wednesday, B & I both brought out scissor hands to work...it wasn't pretty.
• My hip hasn't been sitting exactly right in the socket since Pole last night. Imagine doing things where you need hip rotation, but when you do it you feel like it's just going to completely pop out. Def not a good time, especially since it brought extra critiques from my teacher. #notwinning
• Halfway point until I see Steve! 2.5 more weeks. 
• Amazon made an excellent song suggestion, and it's been on repeat all week:

Awesome & Awkward Friday

The last seven days have been quite lovely. Quite lovely? Who am I?

What a week. Highs. Lows. The usj.

Helped Laura practice her partner carries for crossfit.



Lots of bitch work. I wonder if I could have minored in that at Tech? Unfortunately for me Starbucks is about a 10min walk from the office. But I did use my mad balancing skills while opening the office door with one foot. It probably would have been easier had I taken my shoe off and used my monkey feet.

 


Got the hook up from building management again!

 

Jess left for Boston and took a piece of my heart with her. I shouldn't be so dramatic because it's not forever.
