What's Up Wednesday.

Linking up with Shay for What's Up Wednesday!

What I'm eating this week

Nothing too exciting. I really want to get a crockpot so I can start making real meals instead of just having microwave meals and sandwiches. 

What I'm reminiscing about

The fact that Mady and I aren't kids anymore. We are growing up, but I truly couldn't imagine my life without her by my side. Sisters for life, best friends forever.  

Seems like just yesterday, but in reality it's been 6 or 7 years! 

What I'm loving

I'm really loving this season of life I'm in. I have a great family, a circle of friends that are practically family, a job that I enjoy 99% of the time, my own apartment but close enough to my family to annoy them every so often. I'm sure blessed.

What I've been up to

Not much. This summer, July is my slow month. I had a mini vacation up north mid-June & I get to go see my best friend in mid-August, I did celebrate five years at my job on Monday though, so that's pretty exciting! 

What I'm dreading

Having to work 7 days in a row before my vacation, but you know what? That's okay. It means I have a job. 

What I'm working on

I'm re-starting my ItWorks business as of today & I'm really excited. When your upline texts you and says she can picture you on stage at GC in the future, and that God is going to do great things with me in this business, I know I made the right decision to join her team! 

What I'm excited about

The fact that I get to see my best friend for the first time since October in like two weeks. I get to hang out with her, hot hubby and little bit, & I totally can't wait to spoil little bit. Even though s/he isn't going to be here until February, I can still totally spoil them right? I may already have bought a gift for them, but shh. 

 

What I'm watching/reading

I got cable last month, so I've been watching Big Brother, Teen Mom 2 is my guilty pleasure. Catching up on Little People, Big World and trying not to cringe when my MN Twins have great leads and then end up losing them in the last two innings.  

Trying to finish the stack of books that Jayme sent home with me in October. I've only read like 2 or 3 of them, so I need to hop to it.  

What I'm listening to

My Pandora station currently is 2000s country. Loving it. 

What I'm wearing

At this exact moment I'm wearing a one tank and yoga shorts aka what I wore to bed because I don't get dressed before I work. #sorrynotsorry. 

What I'm doing this weekend

Working 11 to 8 both days, but I get to work with 2 of my favorites once again, so I'll take it :) 

What I'm looking forward to next month

 SEEING MY BEST FRIEND! 

What else is new

Nothing too exciting. 

           What will I miss most about summer?

The 9pm sunsets! 

A Grateful Weekend.

Good morning!

I had a pretty good weekend, I had Friday off but had to work Saturday & Sunday, but I still managed to have some fun! I figured I would share some of the things that I was grateful for over the weekend so here goes nothing!

Mady&I, obviously not from this weekend. 

Friday// I was off like I mentioned above, and I had nothing planned, so I texted my sister in the early afternoon to see if she wanted to float down our river. She wanted to go see a movie and get dinner instead, so we drove down to a theater that has reclining seats and saw Paper Towns, I haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but I really liked the movie. Then I may or may not have given the GPS a wrong destination so instead of having many different options for dinner, we ended up at Perkins&Starbucks. We then picked up her boyfriend & a fun game of Name That Tune ensued.  Thankful for a relationship with my sister that has it's ups and downs but is one that I cherish and would be lost without,

Saturday// Work was crazy & I left for lunch without saying goodbye to Karen which is something we just don't do, we always make sure we say bye & love you even if we're just going to lunch because that's just how we are, because I knew if I did, I'd end up in tears because I was upset & she'd hug me and I'd lose it & I didn't want to give certain people that satisfaction. I got back from lunch and Karen gives me the look, the one that says "what's wrong and are we okay?" without having to say a single word. I told her I wasn't mad at her & that I would call her when I was off because I didn't want to get into everything at work. Thankful for a friendship that knows no age & a woman who loves me like another daughter.

Sunday// Another crazy day at work & I was working alone and I had some creeper come in and just loiter for like an hour before close(we closed early because we were so short). I called my manager over so we could talk in the office to see if she could possibly give me a ride home so I didn't have to worry about this guy following me. She agreed and I made it home safely. Thankful for a work family that is sometimes overly protective, but I can count on.

What's something or someone you're grateful for?

linking up for grateful heart & mingle monday!

#HashtagHumpday

So this is my first time linking up with Lolo & Lauren for #hashtaghumpday and I'm pretty pumped! 

I just got cable after not having it at my apartment for over a year & then not having it at my dad’s for the past probably 3 years, anyways, I was flipping through the channels and came up on a NCIS re-run. I used to be a very dedicated fan to the show & will still watch it whenever I’m at my mom’s because she still has cable, my point is, I’ve watched the show for years and finally realized why they call Ducky Ducky. GUYS! His name is Dr. Mallard! THAT’S WHY THEY CALL HIM DUCKY! #DUHMEGHAN

In the span of a week, which was 2 weeks ago up until last week, I had three #meghanmoments. The first one was running into an end cap at work with my arm, then I was doing an online order for a customer at work and was in the process of walking to the back and had my hand on the swinging door getting ready to push through it, was paying attention and everything & had a vendor that wasn’t paying attention slam her cart into the door, jamming my hand. It hurt a little Friday night so I called the Nurseline who prescribed some self care for me to do & it was fine all day Saturday and most of Sunday morning until I was talking to Karen and I was like um, I just had a sharp shooting pain go from my elbow to my hand. I wanted to go in, so my assistant manager had to bring me up to the hospital ER & they diagnosed it as a elbow strain impacting my forearm and wrist. So they put me on a weight restriction, so I had to work fitting room for a few days since the weight restriction was 5 pounds lighter than the service desk, anyways, the last day I was on restriction I was opening up a fitting room for a customer and hit my head on the door frame. I really just need to be bubble wrapped.

Bloggers Give it 100 7.8.15

One week in for the Bloggers give it 100 & I'd honestly give myself a C.

My main goals for this 100 days are to drink more water & have clearer skin & I didn't really set great goals to accomplish these, so that's what I'm hoping to do this week.

-Drink at least 24 oz of water each day(I know it's not very much, but it's a start!)
-Take my Hair, Skin, Nails each night(I learned this week that I can't take them on an empty stomach or there are consequences!)
-Wash my face each night(this was the one I probably did the best with, and I only did it four times if I remember correctly!)

Big Brother Recap v.1

I have been a Big Brother fan since it first started, all the way back to Season 1 & Chicken George, I haven't watched as often the last few seasons, but I did want Derrick to win last season & he did :)

My younger sister Olivia now watches the show as well, she's been a fan of Big Brother for the last few seasons.

I came up with the idea to blog my thoughts and hers each Friday about the previous week's happenings, so here goes nothing!

So we are starting week 2 of BB17, who are your early favorites? 
Olivia: Clay, Liz & Becky.
Meghan: Clay because he's a country boy #heycutiehey & Jeff are probably my top two. I also would love to see the twins pull off the twin twist.

What about people who you want out? 
Olivia: Davonne. Mama Da' just isn't working.
Meghan: I agree with Liv, I also think Audrey needs to get out before she sabotages the whole house. Holy drama with both of them batman.

Anything fishy to you? 
Olivia & Meghan: We both think that Audrey is pulling a fast one on everyone, we don't think she's transgender, please note that we are NOT saying that we don't support her if she truly is but we think she's using it to get people to like her.
Meghan: I'd be willing to bet she is pulling a Jonny Fairplay on us.

Favorite twist so far? 
Olivia: Having Jackie & Jeff come in.
Meghan: I really like the twin twist & I hope they are able to make it through five weeks without getting eliminated!

Who are the two people you think should be up on the block this week?
Olivia: Davonne & Audrey.
Meghan: Jason and Audrey, backdooring Audrey.

Give it 100. 7.1.15.

I'm so excited to join Lora, Melissa & Kendra for their new link-up called Bloggers Give it 100, which is basically saying, I'm going to dedicate time each day for the next 100 to making choices that will change my life for the better.

My two main goals are these:

-Drink more water
-Clearer skin

How I plan to do this?
+Choose water instead of pop on breaks/lunch at work
+Wash my face each night before bed
+Take my Hair, Skin & Nails from IW!

Are you joining in?
What are your goals?

July #blog2blogbc

Oh hi! I'm back! Summer has been busy so far, with a lot of working and a little playing as well, but I'm excited to announce that I'm Kelly's co-host for July's #blog2blogbc! Find out more information below! 

THE BOOK

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.
