It's OK

It's Ok link up has be a staple around here on Thursdays but it's time is up at the end of the month. I'm gonna get my oks in while I can.


What are you OK with these days?



It's OK:

- To go shopping on a Friday night at NY and Co. and loving the stuff so much I went back on Saturday.

- To be feel a little bitchy some times!

- That I've tried to make up every excuse on why I do NOT want to see Star Trek with my husband. He's not buying any of them.

- To create a "Shit We Need to Do List" around our house. To harsh?!? We have so much that needs to be done its crazy. It's hanging on my fridge. I have to stay accountable and seeing it everyday will help with that. Hopefully it gets Brian's ass in gear too. I just want our house to get in order.

- To be super excited that our pool is opening up next week. I do use it often but I love it early Saturday mornings. Can't wait. Plus, it means the summer is almost here!!!

- To be overly excited that my NY Rangers have made the second round of the playoffs. Bring it on Boston.

Happy Thursday!

Its OK

You know the drill.



It's OK

- To wish December would slow down. These few weeks before Christmas are my absolute favorite. I just can't believe they fly by so fast. SLOW DOWN DECEMBER

- To be in a blog funk lately. Its been bad. This should be the best time to blog. So many great things are happening but I can't seem to want to blog right now.

- To be STRESSING that I don't have anything for my in-laws and my dad. Its eleven shopping days till Christmas!!! HELP. I need help. I really want to get my dad a shovel snow blower. It works like a shovel but its also a snow blower. My dad's driveway is small. He has a heart condition and shouldn't ever be doing heavy lifting. Problem is its about $30 more than we have spent on my mom and planning on spending on Brian's parents. What do you think? 

- That I kinda wish I had the rest of the week to recover from this nasty virus. It has taken a wicked toll on me. I've lost 4 pounds. Even my wedding band and engagement rings have started to fall off.

- To watch Hallmark, ABC Family and Lifetime Holiday movies NON STOP. I think I have a problem! I DVR them when I'm not home to watch.

- To feel like I need a life change. I need something new. Feel like I'm stuck where I am and I'm not very happy with a lot of aspects of my life. I'm stressed all the time and I take it out on some of the people I love the most. It makes me sad.

- To be really excited to get get my swap packages. Although one is for little Bogart, I'm still super excited for him.

Have a great day friends!

Go check out the link up and don't forget to wish Neely a very happy 3 year blog anniversary!!!

Congrats girl!

- To think yesterday was Thursday all day. Just makes me feel like today is Friday; bummer!!!

- To stay up really late watching my Yankees win in the bottom of the 12th inning and sleep through my alarm this morning!

It's OK

- To be a whiny baby when I'm sick.

- To whine about this darn flu shot! Ouch, these things hurt!!!

- To not watch the debate last night. I've educated myself and will continue to do so with out listening to 2 people attacking one another. Just a whole lotta noise to me.

- To skip Zumba class twice this week. I have a double ear infection. I guess its ok, right?

- That I get pissed when bloggers link up  but don't actually "link up"

- To have spent a little to much money on my stay-cation last week. I love shopping by myself.

- To sit in the back of my Weight Watchers meeting and cry a little.

- For my knees to hurt 4 days after catching my first game of the softball season. Nothing makes me fell older than softball season.

- To go 0 for 2 in above softball game but feel great because B pitched a fantastic game.

- To be pretty upset my swap partner never got in touch with me. I have $15 worth of Fall and Summer goodies and no one to send them too. Can't tell if I want to keep them or do a giveaway. What do you think?

- To be ready for Fall. The weather has just been amazing but the cold nights with hoodies and blankets make me long for pumpkin picking and Halloween decorating.

- To spend a $100 on toys for my nephew when we found out he was going to be a big brother.

- To just start posting wedding pictures after we've been married 3 months...

- To avoid social media sites during the day for said posts. 

- To be slightly negative about work lately. We are really short staffed and it has really sucked the life outta me. 

- To really want to call some one out for a horrible tweet they sent me earlier this week. This person did not read my initial tweet correctly and then called me selfish and said she hopes I never have children. Clearly she doesn't know what has gone on in my life lately. 

- To be torn about blogging and social media after things like above happen. I know there are far more good people out there for me to focus on. 

- To stay up late watching the Olympics! I love it. 

- To have desert twice this week.

- To go to TCBY and fill my cup up with more raspberries, blackberries, brownie bits and hot fudge instead of the frozen yogurt.

- To be  a bit ticked that some of our wedding guests came to our wedding and did NOT give a gift or even a card and a few other wedding issues I would REALLY love to know WHY??? but I digress.

- To feel a bit s

- To yearn for time away. A week off to wedding prep was not very relaxing. I just want the beach...June please hurry up!

- To be confused about which cruise to take in June, Norweigian or Celebrity. Any suggestions are welcomed Reviews are just about the same but Celebrity is a bit more expensive.

It's OK

Haven't done one of these in a  while but I definitely need to have a little confirmation on all the good, yet crazy things I've been doing!
Linking up with Neely.




-To be completely overwhelmed with work and wedding planning that I haven't been up to blogging.

-To start freaking out that I am not skinny enough and haven't lost all the weight I wanted too.

-To just not have time or energy lately to work out like I really want to

-To fall asleep at 9pm this whole week.

-To vent! Its even nicer when people just let you do it too!

-To stay at a resturant just to listen to the awkward couple's conversation at dinner last night. They were middle aged,drunk, saying things like "I'm gonna show you some magic" and other sexually inappropriate things for a dinner convo. We were at a nice place too but it was entertainment. We laughed so hard.

- To admit my new show is Ice loves Coco. Sparticus is fantastic but they are the cutest couple! Its hysterical.

- To be so disgusted with our Townhouse Management company that I've seriously thought about selling our home. It was actually so bad I went on Yelp, Google and Yahoo and badmouthed them everywhere I could.

- To be so angry that B's 2 best friend's and groomsmen backed out of his bachelor party. Who the F does that shit???

- To freak the shit out about not having any guest bloggers.

- To have no honeymoon plans...On second thought that is NOT ok!

Happy Thursday!
My bachelorette party is this weekend. I'm pretty excited about it so I can't wait to conquer the next two days!

It is OK and NOT OK

Its Ok...

- To be so fed up with backstabbing. We are adults! Can't we act like adults.

- To skip the venue wedding tasting. I've tried the food. Its awesome so no need to spend extra cash on a tasting.

- To be completely addicted to My Fitness Pal. It is the best weight loss application ever. I love this thing. It has been a huge addition to my diet! I've been doing it for 10 days. Today is another weigh in. Wish me luck.

- To get so excited for the mail everyday. Some of our invites have went out so that means a bunch of RSVPs are coming back. This is crazy! My wedding is getting so close.

- To get home from work at 8:30 last night, go straight to bed and fall fast asleep till 8 this morning.

- To have started the Feb Photo a Day Challenge and failing miserably at keeping it up. Ugh.


Now for my own spin on its OK Thursday...


Its NOT OK:

-Gisele, it's not OK to act classless. Even if your beautiful you still look like an idiot dropping the f-bomb about your husband's teammates. BAD MOVE!

-Its NOT OK to have a suspected murderer have supervised visits in his home! The Powell family tragedy saddens me because its a total failure of the system! I hope that man rots in hell.

-Its NOT OK to criticize the Clint Eastwood Chrystler add for being to political. Nothing was said last year when Eminem did the same type of commercial.


Happy Thursday Friends!
Have a lovely day.
xoxo

Its OK Thursday

I feel a bit like I've been in a daze because I can't believe its already Thursday.
I'm taking a day off tomorrow in hopes I can relax and take some time shopping with my grandma. We are pretty much the only 2 people who weren't able to visit my aunt in Georgia. She is having a really tough time so I hope a shopping day will get her mind off of how shitty things have been.

How about everyone else? Good week? Tell me because I could really use some happy news!

Linking up with Neely.





Its Ok

- To go out of my way to get Starbucks in the morning instead of the 3 Dunkin Donuts I pass on my route to work. Maybe if they didn't screw up my order all the time and their coffee is terrible.

- To not have any desire to blog when I'm feeling really sad.

- To not cope with death and dying like most people. I shut down. I don't want comfort and I don't know how to give it. Its not ok to have a breakdown on the treadmill at the gym. Makes it very uncomfortable for the old guy next to me with out an iPod.

- Its ok that my wedding invite are supposed to o out in 3 days and the envelops have not been delivered yet. Maybe that isn't ok???

- That we have only had one snow storm this winter and the day after the rain and 50 degrees washed it all away. Oh and its been 50 degrees for 3 days! Who needs winter anyways!?!

- To STILL not have our honeymoon planned.

- To work out on the treadmill at the gym for exactly 1 hour, from 8-9 yesterday just to watch One Tree Hill last night. Oh and by the way, WTF JULIAN!?!?!?!

- To have our house decorated for Valentine's Day for about 2 weeks. Not a huge lover of the holiday. I think I'm just trying to rush this winter.

AND....
Just because I'm having a super craptastic week I feel I need to add a few of these....

It's NOT OK...

-To link up and then not participate. It really pisses me off. Why am I wasting my time? I'm not even the one hosting link ups so I can only imagine what its like for the host!

- To just take the fan some one else is using at the gym and move it to your machine. How about asking if you could use it first?

- To not clean off your cardio equipment when at the gym. The gym provides us all with towles and spray. WTF, especially the bike! No one wants to sit on the bike you just left your ass sweat on. Disgusting. Its flu season, ya jerks!

- For people to tell you things like "This is the cycle of life" when you tell them a family member is dying. Seriously, NOT OK!

- To be sick for the entire month.

- To have had a migraine for 3 days. I had a few hours with out it yesterday and now its back full force!

It's OK Thursday

So you guys may already know I've been really sick the past few weeks and I've been on bed rest since Monday. I guess this is the bed rest addition. I can't promise any thing real exciting. Life has been filled with mindless daytime television, blogs, whining and naps.
Oh well, here goes.



It's OK-

- To change from one pair of pajamas to the next.

-To only get off the couch to heat up my coffee and refill my vaporizer.

- To have changed my nail polish 6 times in 3 days.

-To be completely obsessed with reading The Help. After watching the movie last night and just want to run out and buy the book to read asap.

- To be doing lots of online shopping with money I don't have!

- To best EXTREMELY excited for the new and last season of One Tree Hill. Did you see the intro last night?? WHAT!?!?!

- To be extremely sad that its the last season of One Tree Hill.

- To be completely obsessed with this bridal site. Its my new favorite.

-To be bummed out I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks. This is precious wedding body/gym time!!

-To piggy back off of the above  statement I've been following up each meal with a lil bit of sherbet.

- To enter every blog giveaway I've seen this week.

- To get so annoyed when people only  post healthy food pictures to Facebook. It says "Look at me I'm sooooo healthy" when they are probably following their quinoa, raw egg soup with a HUGE brownie sundae topped with hot fudge.


What are you OK with this week??

Before you go please check out Alyssa's post today. Its a very real and honest post about her dad. She's looking to the blog community to join the bone marrow registry. 


Be a donor! Save a life!

It's OK Thursday

So I totally haven't linked up with Neely in a very long time. I feel like December I was on Christmas and holiday overload but I'm back and linking up with Its Ok Thursday. I think I may have a whole month's worth! Hope thats ok?!?






Here goes:
It's OK:

-To be feeling depressed that Christmas is over.

-Because of the above, its ok to still have decorations up.

-To whine constantly because I really feel sick

-To ignore this stupid tooth ache.

-To stay in bed extra each morning and blame it on the cold and Tylenol PM

-To lay on my horn at all the jerk snowboarders who run across a main road when they don't have the right of way. There is a crosswalk and a light for that reason. Those little bastards are lucky I stop at all.

- To replace cold pills and tea with a glass of red wine. Well, the pills and tea haven't worked all weekend. I figure try something new?!?! Didn't work.

- To have used all of the Dunkin Donuts gift cards I got for Christmas although I really hate their coffee and service

-To have a very large to do list for the wedding and wishing time would slow down.

- To be so EXCITED that its already January and we haven't had snow yet this winter. HOORAY.

-To wish my boss would send me home early today because I feel so sick this morning.

Happy Thursday!

It's OK Thursday

Hello 2 extra days off! I want to completely relax and have a few days to myself.






-To be disgusted and horrified about what is going on at Penn State. And the rioting last night. Those poor children. I ache for them :(

-To be ashamed of our culture and how so many people think football is bigger then the morals of society. Ray Lewis? Ben Roethlisberger? Michael Vick? As long as you play well we treat you like a god or some hero. Lets remember who our heroes really are.

-To have blisters on all of my toes because my shoes at the wedding last weekend were just to perfect to take off!

-To really want to waste some cash on any type of massage. I need some relaxation! I run at 100mph all the time.

-To have finished all of my Christmas cards already! Makes me feel so accomplished. I can enjoy the holidays so much more when there is a lot less to do!

-To be stressing out about Thanksgiving and some family issues.

-To not like the way some people cook or bake and be concerned that they may be making my favorite part of Thanksgiving.

-To really hope The Office gets better this season. Not so good and I'm a little disappointed.

-To be a little weirded out about this Duggar thing. Really, she's been pregnant for 13 years in a row. Can not be good for ones health or the health of her children.

-To get excited about Wednesdays. My favorite blog day AND American Horror Story.

So I'm going to get this day started. Maybe a hike in the woods? Some wedding stuff?

Have a fantastic day.

Crazy night and It's OK

Before I get to today's link up I have to tell you how about the insane experience I had last night. Upon arrival home Bogart and I were stuck in our car for several scary minutes as this visitor sat or his MUCH BIGGER brother sat in front of my car. Poor Bogart sat their crying and her never gets scared over anything. In the midst of all of this I butt dialed my boss who could here me talking to the bear  and myself "Go away, leave". Poor thing thought I was being kidnapped or really being held hostage. I could here her yelling "Are you ok? Should I call the police?"It was a crazy little experience for her too.

This is a picture of our bear friend this past summer. 

He is much larger now as he prepares to hibernate. 

Moving on... I'm linking up Neely



Its OK...

-To be totally and completely obsessed with American Horror Story. Oh my goodness this so is by far the most amazing thing I've seen in a very long tim.

- To be ready for Thanksgiving but not wanting to rush through fall.

- To start thinking about Christmas gifts!

- To be a pissy bitch when we were hit with the worst October snow storm over the weekend. All of our trees have been destroyed. However, we have power, unlike so many others who are going 6 days with nothing. (Kinda like we were during Irene in September)

- To be bummed for so many kids who missed out on Halloween. It was cancelled in many towns due to storm damage and power outages.

- To not be prepared for my best friend's wedding thats Saturday!!! Ahhh!

- To be a little aggravated that a friend's engagement pictures look EXACTLY like ours. This is their second round of pictures.

- To buy ANOTHER Essie nail polish last week. Jazz! Its a perfect fall color.

- To prefer a glass of wine over a trip to the gym.

- To "borrow" a tupperware of coffee from my parents. We have none and are a bit to lazy to do food shopping.

- Its ok that coffee is a priority in this house.

Its OK

I am super lucky to have today off since I worked a Saturday a few weeks back. I'm hoping to get out of this house and actually get some wedding stuff accomplished. I was so proud of myself for sleeping past 7 am. Its felt good!!! Today I'm going to look for wedding fabric to put under our centerpieces. Its only 6 months until the big day. I am feeling a crazy sort of rush about the whole thing. Most everything is accomplished. I am having trouble getting all of our groomsmen together to pick out their darn suits. That has been frustrating but so is life. 


Today I'm linking up with Neely and participating in It's OK Thursday

Its OK:

-To be freaked out all Halloween movies and Michael Myers no matter how many times I watch.
-To already have wedding nightmares? Well maybe not.
-To really want to dress up and spend Halloween at a party.
-To hope for an awesome anniversary surprise from Brian. Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary. 
- To be angry at my new neighbors for moving in friends who have taken my parking spots but really like them because they rescued the cutest darn dog I've ever seen. 
- To not want to invite one of Brian's female friends to our wedding because she has always been a super b*tch to me. 
- To be really craving unhealthy Chinese food! 
- To hope work does not have any major or even small issues and bother me today. 
- To want to purchase some new clothes although its not really in the budget for the next few months. 
-To declutter my blog and twitter lists. Purging always makes me feel good! 
- To be a little ticked that we may get snow tonight!!! Ridiculous, its only OCTOBER!!!!!! 


Happy Thursday!!!
Enjoy

It's OK Thursday

Its been a tough week for our friend Neely and trust me I know how she feels so make sure you stop over and give her a bit of love. She needs a little extra lovin!!! 






It's OK-

• To be a bit upset when you get constant calls from staff calling out or calling to tell me they are running late on your day off. All I ask is for one day of stress free peace and quiet.
• To be REALLY, REALLY ANGRY about what took place in Ohio yesterday. Shame on every one who was aware of that animal "sanctuary" All of those beautiful animals gone forever. Makes me really sad.  
• To really not want to wake up at 5am for a trip to the gym.
• To really miss getting raises! The down side of non profit workings. I could really use more cash wedding planning.
• To have absolutely NO IDEA where to go on our honeymoon. (It's not ok to be terrified of flying!!)
• Change your wedding registry items about 100 times.
• To procrastinate on everything wedding lately. (not really we are getting close to the 6 month mark)
• To spend one day of the weekend cuddled up in pj's watching football.
• To feel a bit obsessed about taking kickboxing classes. 
• To still be upset about something that took place this weekend. 
• To feel sad and unloved when some one I care about is dishonest with me. 
• To announce on FB that my once tight jeans were feeling pretty loose yesterday!!!
• To put my hair up in a pony tail for a few weeks until I can get my roots done. 
• To want October to slow down!!! The leaves are flying off the trees so fast! I want the pretty to last longer.
• To wish it were already Saturday so I can spend the day with my momma getting our nails done.

Lets try and make today a great one!
