I am so so sorry that I haven't posted in awhile! Not to mention that my blog is super outdated! I've been so busy lately, I haven't had time to post.
Let's see.. Where to begin? Basically I've pretty much just been working&' cleaning.. That's so not exciting. Ha! But really, I swear that's all I've been doing! Oh, Kaleb&' I celebrated our first Valentine's day together!(: I had so much fun-- it was so low key; p e r f e c t i o n. We drove around&' made a flight decision to just eat at this tiny Chinese place, so it was more personal[we are OBSESSED with Chinese food], got some ice cream[our other favorite] and bought some fish. Unfortunately, the fish did not make it.. So I don't want to talk about it.
Kaleb&' I are getting ready to redo the upstairs, which we are now renting out from his parents-- it's so spacious&' it's going to be G O R G E O U S when we finish. We're going to do black, white,&' grey-- simple, bright&' sophisticated. I'm really excited to see how it turns out!
Speaking of exciting milestones-- Kaleb&' I have been dating for officially SIX MONTHS. Yay! Halfway to a year! We've fought very minimally&' we always make up shortly after. We are working on our communication&' we are both learning&' growing. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He makes me laugh when I want to cry, looks me in the eye&' tells me to tell the truth when I tell him I'm okay, he calls me beautiful every day...I truly am the luckiest.
We talk a lot about the future, our hopes&' dreams.. He has helped me grow so much as a person; he is bettering me.
I'm sorry this post isn't filled with so much glitter&' dazzle as I would have liked, but I've got to run!
Love you all!

spOtted: I've Got an A.C.E. in the Hole.
One of my resolutions this year was to lose weight. At the salon I work at, a lot of the girls are on a diet pill called A.C.E. I have heard tons &tons of diet pills claim to be the best out there; all the ad's seem to be the same-- "blocks carbs" "tons of energy" "drop 10 pounds in 2 days" etc. Random things like that. Always to good to be true. I never had anyone say to me, "I'm on HoodiaP57, and it really works!"
So to me, I was a T O T A L skeptic. But then, I looked at real pictures. Of people I knew. &'listened to their stories. My boss? 40 pounds lighter. Her husband? 25. What about another girl at the salon? Almost 50 pounds, &'she recently had a baby. So of course, my curiosity got the better of me. I started asking about it, gathering more information. "What's in it? Is it safe? What are the side effects?" I got the same answer from every girl I asked. Everyone's information matched up. I still had my doubts. So I got a sample, &'took a risk.
Now, I won't lie to you-- I was a bit disappointed. Everyone had told me it would give me energy, but I was EXHAUSTED. I decided to shake it off-- eh, another lie. Whatever. When I told the girls how it had effected me, they were all flabbergasted. They said it was so weird that it made me tired; none of them had that feeling. After a bit more delving into my issue, we chalked it up to my ADHD. [often energizing drinks/pills/etc. have the reverse effect on people with ADHD] I was sad, but there really is nothing I could do. I discussed it with my boss, &'she pointed out that I had been sick-- maybe it was just an off day for me.
After a few days of being disgruntled about it, I decided to give it another try. I purchased a bottle, with the thought in mind that maybe my body just needed to get used to it. If it still didn't work, at least I had people I could give my remaining bottle too. I took my pill, and without realizing I had cleaned a huge part of the salon &'done a ton of organizing. When Kaleb came to pick me up, I was feeling really hyper. DING DING DING! Hello, there was my energy! So the next day, I woke up &'took my A.C.E. I was pretty mellow for a while- I even took a cat nap. When I woke up from my nap, I took another pill, &'then I had the whole house clean. Christmas decorations, down. Cupboards, organized. Furniture, rearranged. HOLY CRUMBS, IT'S WORKING!
It is working so far for me, &'I love it. I'm excited to see if I start losing weight. I know I have to watch how I eat, &'definitely drink more water, &'start exercising as well-- it won't just make me drop weight. &'that's okay with me. I plan on posting about my weight loss journey &'being honest through it all. Right now, I weigh 168. That's right. That is so NOT okay with me. But it's okay-- cause I'm on my way to losing weight the right way.
If anyone reading this is curious, here is the link for the A.C.E. website ---->Love My Ace Also, don't be afraid to comment &'ask or give advice to help me! I would L O V E it.
I hope 2012 is going amazing for everyone!

spOtted: new year, new me.
I know it's been a good while since I posted last, but hey-- better late than never, right?
I decided to write my resolution post[including why I want this to happen, etc.]-- then fill you in on the events of the past.. month-ish.
My resolutions for this year are as follows--
LOSE WEIGHT - [I know I'll never be a size zero, but I do know I can love my body more. My goal is to get back to a size 6, in however long it takes me, but lose 20 pounds by May. VERY POSSIBLE. I'll be posting about the weight loss as it goes '&such.]
READ MORE - [If that means the girls at the salon start a book club, so be it. I want to read as many books as I can this year. Starting with 'Sense '& Sensibility'.]
STOP SWEARING - [it's really not a cute habit.]
GO BACK TO CHURCH - [finding a Christian church out here would be a g r e a t place to start.]
START A BUCKET LIST&' CHECKING THINGS OFF - [I want a month by month bucket list. I'll be posting those lists here as well, and letting you all know as they are passed off.
do NOT cut my hair - [aside from trims, layers &'bangs. I miss my long hair.]
GO ON MORE DATES WITH KALEB - [I love falling in love all over again with him, &'our schedules have gotten so hectic lately, we don't really have time for each other.
JOURNAL MORE FREQUENTLY - [seriously-- I want to have certain things written down forever.]
TAKE MORE PICTURES - [see above post. it's all about the memories.]
LIVE EACH DAY LIKE IT'S MY LAST - [why not start at the end of the world?]
DON'T LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT TELLING SOMEONE THAT I LOVE THEM - [out loud. pets count. even if I look in the mirror &'tell myself it. It HAS to happen.
IF I CAN'T FIND SOMETHING DECENT ON T.V. -- TURN IT OFF [do I really need to explain this one?]
You know how there is always that one song that can cheer you up &'make you smile no matter what? &'you crank it up &'dance around to it &'sing it at the top of your lungs? yeah-- I'm gonna have one of 'those days' more often.
NO MORE DRUNK TEXTING OF EXES - [along with no drunk tweeting, Facebook updating, etc.]
WRITE DOWN 5 REASONS ON WHY I WOULD MARRY ME - I have to find them somehow..
Okay-- I'm sleepy. I'll try and post tomorrow, but no promises. Love ya'll.
