Friday's Letters & More

As if we didn't know it was Friday..... So thankful today is here!

Not many of you know this yet, but my best friend moved 9 hours away this week. Needless to say, it's been a long hard week. So there may start to be more and more posts, as clearly I am lost without her haha and finding myself bored! 

Dear BFF: I miss you, I love you but I know you need to do this for you, and for that I am very proud of you.

Dear Spin Class: We have a love/hate relationship today. Great workout, but my butt bones hurt soo bad. 

Dear Friday: Glad you're here, but sad I work tomorrow

Dear Clean Diet: I adore you. Best thing I could have ever done for my body

Dear Boys: Why do you all come around at the same time? I'm lonely one week, and all of a sudden you're all playing this chasing game... is there some sort of meeting/group I need to be aware of?

Dear women at the gym: STOP looking at me, STOP trying to copy my workouts. If you want help ASK. I'd rather show you how to do something right with the appropriate weights, than watch you struggle trying to lift what I do. You're not superwoman, relax! (But I of course am superwoman haha)

Dear unemployed people in my city: You should not be without work right now. I work a full time job, own a company and some how managed to get offered 2 jobs this week.... One at a restaurant and one at a gym. Get off your couch! 

Thank you fellow bloggers for following me, I love you all dearly

Livin the Goodlife!

I took this photo today (yes I edited it a little to stand out more) This was in paint on a bridge that we were walking over. The cool thing is, I have "Love the life you live...xo" tattooed on my left foot! So of course I thought this was pretty rad and had to snap a pic!

As requested by Ess, here is the pic of my tattoo!! 

Happy Sunday all you bloggers! I hope you all enjoyed a lovely weekend and are ready to kill it (with kindness of course!) this week!

I had a great weekend!

Friday night, I went and hung out with my "French Connection" boys, they're all from Quebec and Montreal, hence why I call them my French Connection haha! We had fun, hung out drank beer, and chilled. Perfect night for great company!

Saturday I hit the gym as usual, no surprise there haha! Then I went for beers with a friend at Original Joe's which is a trendy little bar, with THE BEST beer ever! It's called "Blonde Lager" for all you Barbies (whom I love) You may not like beer, but hey! It's named after you <3

Then I went off to see my french boys again, and spent the night hanging out. 

Now I do have one small confession/rant! I had a friend, heck he was my best friend, his new/old girlfriend is back in the picture and of course she doesn't like me so he has now been banished to talk to me and he "hates" me. For what it's worth, I know he doesn't but girlfriends seem to have this super power.... I hate this. We have mutual friends whom I hang out with and I do not appreciate text messages telling me I'm not allowed to hang with my boys. Not cool bro. Get over yourself, and get rid of the dumb broad that is costing you friendships!

Sunday was a big day though! My bestie and I climbed the stairs at Memorial, up and down and up and down time and time again.... Kill me now, I'm still not sure how she got me to do that!! Memorial Stairs for all you bloggers not from here, are the biggest, longest, most heart throbbing stairs of my life. Basically its about 15 sets of stairs, multiply that by 10 times up and down, and you've got me.... pouring sweat and starving, with shin splints haha! It's all for health though right? My blog keeps my mind healthy, and working out keeps my body healthy. After the stairs, we ventured off downtown for a few hours (didn't realize we had walked 30+ blocks to find a nice place to eat haha) We had the best salads!! Spinach, strawberries, goat cheese, pecans, and a lovely dressing! Oh to die for! After that of course we had to find our way back to the stairs, and climb them one last time to get back to the car. I was so done by this time haha! Silly me decided to go tanning after that as well! 

All in all, it was a great weekend with great friends and very relaxed (other than those dang stairs!)

Fun Fact Friday

Happy Friday Ladies!

I hope you've all got some sanity left for the weekend! 

So today I thought I would share some interesting facts about myself, along with an update on how my week has been thus far! Feel free to join in on my Fun Fact Friday and do your own :)

Facts;

1. I am obsessed with anything leopard print and skulls

2. I was born a natural redhead... but I like my hair better black

3. I was a dork in Jr.High, but for some reason when I got to High school I was popular (reason still unknown)

4. 90% of my friends are guys 

5. I love babies, but I'm terrified to ever have one

Those are my facts for today! My week has been slightly hectic trying to get back into my routine. It's hard to come off of "vacation mode" and ease back into my regular life. I've done pretty well with it though. I've been to the gym all week, it's just hard to get myself to bed early!

This week I also realized I really don't have any girl friends out here any more. I'm tired of people's pity parties. I can't stand when people moan and complain about their jobs, love life, weight, friends (you name it really) We all have THAT friend that, pardon my language, BITCHES about everything. I'm done with it. If you need to vent, that's totally acceptable I will listen. If you need advice, I'll give it to you. If you need some support and someone to just hang with, I will be there. BUT.... If you're not going to change anything, accept my advice, or do anything to resolve your issues... Don't bother me. I'm not a therapist, I'm not getting paid large sums of money to listen to your problems in hopes that you keep coming back. I'm not your personal trainer at the gym that's gonna whip your butt into shape. I'm also not your boyfriend/crush, so I really don't know if he likes the color of your nail polish. That being said.... Give up on the losers, put down the Big Mac, and get a different job if you hate it so much. You can only change yourself.

Sorry about that little rant.... I'm always there for my friends, but I get annoyed when they do these things to me. I'm also slightly upset that when I need to vent or a shoulder to lean on, they're not there. Do you guys have a friend that turns everything into something about them? You know, the girl that you're mad at for something and suddenly the whole conversation turns around and she's mad at you.... It's retarded and I don't have time for these games any more. I've been out of high school for 5 years now.

I have a feeling this is going to be one lonely weekend....

Life; It goes on

Everything happens for a reason. 

If this is so true, then I would absolutely die to figure out what the reasoning is behind this. 

I won't go into too much detail, or mention names for that matter.

I just feel betrayed, like you picked her over me. 

Your best friend, over someone that has hurt you in the past and will most certainly hurt you again. 

Why you place the blame on me, when you know it isn't my fault. 

Why you let her control your emotions and your actions, but still talk to me to reassure yourself. 

This is all a big news flash. 

I'm one to stand my own ground, say what I feel, and do what I feel is right. 

If cutting you out is what's best, that is what I will do. 

I won't let you bring me down with you. 

I will however be there. I will be there when she breaks your heart, like she has before. 

I will be there when you don't know where else to turn, or what else to do.

Until then, I won't be around.

I can't watch you do this to yourself, all I can do is wait for you to realize you're doing it. 

I will be there. That's what real friends are for. Even though right now, you aren't one.

I will be.

Good case of the "Monday's"

It's that time again! Monday morning!

We all love to hate this dreaded day of the week.

Not me though! 

Monday's mean a whole new start of the week, a new start to the work out week, and looking forward to new things to come!

In the last few months I have realized who my true friends really are, I cut quite a few people out, and I will never look back. I don't need people who bring me down, or swamp my life with their drama. Life has never been better :)

Today's schedule includes; work, working out, tanning, and then a short trip to the grocery store!

After this weekend, the events that incurred have made me realize something.

Remember; 

People only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade xo

Love you all!

Happy Monday!

Ain't that what ya came for?

Wow. What a weekend, that's all i can say.

I spent a good portion of it with my mama, oh how i adore her <3 

We went for lunch yesterday, and then thrifting. Somehow I ended up with 2 books on make up, very interesting techniques! Love them!

Last night was a disaster though....

I won't go too far into detail about my life, but the short version is interesting haha!

If you have any guy friends (which most of mine are) you will understand what it's like when they get a new girlfriend (or an old one comes back for that matter)

Anyways, I guess according to her I shouldn't be around, and she's taking over. 

I asked her how her arms didn't fall off carrying so much BAGGAGE around all the time...

Alright, I didn't say that to her, hindsight is always 20/20 though right?

Some girls are crazy, I hope you ladies aren't like that!

Today was good though, I met my mama for breakfast and she got me a new vanity to do my make up at :) 

Yes, I will post pics! As soon as I have it all organized! It's very cute, antique, love love love it!

Back to to grind tomorrow, I'll be settling in with a tea and reading all your lovely blogs :)

Hope you girlies had great weekends
