Mobile Monday

Happy Monday my lovelies! I hope you had a great weekend. I was sick for most of mine. I have had a headache for two days that I can't seem to get rid of. I'm blaming it on the ever-changing Texas weather. Also the pollen count is high, I think that might have something to do with it. Anyways, I'm a little better today. The headache is still lingering, but it's not as bad as it was Saturday.

Blast you pollen!

Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training today (or tomorrow, depending on your team). It doesn't matter, baseball is back! Of course, it's acceptable to wear Rangers PJ's all year round!

Some truck decided to park right up against my bumper. I posted this picture on Facebook with the following caption: Seriously dude, could you park any closer? If I find one scratch or dent on my new car, I'll cut you. I possibly have anger issues. :)

My fortune from Pei Wei last week. Well, I'm moving in two weeks (that's kinda like traveling, right?) I'm also going to Boston in June. We shall see if there is any truth to this!

Saw this at Kohl's for $9. I may or may not have bought it.

My cousin Rachael sent me a picture of this shirt. I need it! Yes, I have a cousin named Rachael, and yes, I realize she spells her name the "wrong" way. ;) I love her anyways!

My sister sent me some pictures via text over the weekend. My nephew C is quite the Reptile Hunter. For those freaking out, those are plastic reptiles. Although he would have no problem handling the real ones!

C and E helping their Meme in the kitchen!

I was feeling pretty miserable on Saturday (as you can tell by that lovely look on my face). My "nurses" Sadie and Ries kept me company all day. Just wish they had been better about refilling my drink, I had to keep getting up to do that. Oh well, they were very sweet! :)

I guess they were worried about me being cold because they eventually were both lying on me. I think they were taking advantage of this because Aunt Rachel usually doesn't allow them to snuggle with me like that (call me heartless if you must). :)

Happy weekend y'all. To my friends up north expecting A LOT of snow, please stay safe and check in via Twitter/Facebook/email/ if you can so I know you are okay!!

XOXO!

It's OK...

It's OK...

...to listen and agree when your pastor preaches to not let the world tell you what is "beautiful", but still sometimes wish you could airbrush yourself into looking how you want.

...to TOTALLY want this sunshade for my new car. My birthday is in May (hint hint).

...that I'm ready to do a back flip because for the first time since college I am OUT OF CREDIT CARD DEBIT. Holla!

...to be going through withdrawal because I haven't been shopping at Kohl's since December (I seriously think they are going to take my gold MVP Kohl's credit card away from me if I don't go soon). This probably wasn't the smartest thing to put after a comment about getting out of credit card debt. Now you see where my problem lies. :)

...that my coworker and I say this at least once a day to each other (unless our boss is reading this, then we are 100% professional and work-minded while we are at the office).

...that my Pinterest pinning is out of control (click here to view my pins).

...to randomly put a Luke Bryan video on my post (it's my blog, I can do what I want). :) 

...I find it funny that my friend Brandon has me listed this way in his iPhone. 

Evidently I'm going to leave Craig Gentry for Ryan Gosling (I honestly would just prefer the two fight it out and may the best man win). ;)

Day 7: From a low angle

This one was harder than I thought. Wasn't quite sure what to do!

Happy Thursday peeps! The weekend is almost here!!

XOXO!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm loving...

These pictures of Miss E that my BFF's husband put on Facebook. Seeing her sweet smile always makes my day so much better!! And I love that she is a little book worm. :)

I'm loving...

The church that I started going to last month on my new side of town. I really like it and I've already made some new friends there. I really feel God has me at this church for a reason. I'm looking forward to getting placed within a community group (which is basically another name for Bible study group) here in the next few weeks. I also like their singles Tuesday night worship service. It makes me realize I'm NOT the only single person in DFW (which I sometimes feel like I am!)

I'm loving...

Rusty. Well, this particular Rusty. He is my friend Matt's dog (he's named after Rangers great, Rusty Greer). Matt posted this picture on Facebook with the caption, "Just broke the news to Rusty that Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, and Mike Napoli are no longer Rangers." (Author's note: A moment of silence please). Rusty is just too cute!

How can you look at this sweet face and NOT smile? :) Picture was stolen used with permission from Matt's Facebook page.

I'm loving...

How my friends will send me sweet messages (via text or Facebook) when I'm feeling down. They really cheer me up! :)

I love my friends!

I'm loving...

Any interview with Dick Van Dyke (I found this one on YouTube from a few months ago). As you know, he's my favorite actor. This man is a true legend! He's doing great for someone 87 years young!

Day 6: From a Distance

Trying to capture the sunrise on the way to work

Happy Wednesday y'all!!

XOXO!

February Photo Challenge Day 5

Day 5: Faceless self portrait (wasn't quite sure what that meant so I did the best I could!)

Mobile Monday

What's on my phone this week..

Getting ready to workout. It seems a workout only counts if you mention it on some form of social media (seeing that EVERYONE has to mention either on Facebook or Twitter when they are going to the gym or have been at the gym). I didn't want to anger the "workout gods", so to be safe I posted this on Instagram. :)

I love the directions on the Pie Five pizza box! I'm so glad they put this there, I wouldn't have known.

I saw this book- it made me laugh!!

This is so true.

This van almost hit me and my roommate on our way to work. I wasn't driving, so I took a picture and tweeted that we were almost killed by this driver (I copied the name of the company). The company did respond asking where it happened and that they would be forwarding the info to the local office. Not sure if that happened or not. Don't mess with me- the Wrath of Rachel is very powerful. :)

Got to see my favorite Twitter momma, Mama T, on Friday. Follow her on Twitter here.

Me and the sweetest date I've ever had!

Anti-Valentine's Day cookies. The top left one makes me laugh!

Watching the Super Bowl with my friend Rachel. When the two Rachels are together, NOTHING good can come from it! This is a fact. :)

We are getting closer my friends...

Text from the 9 year old son of some friends of mine (see picture of the sweetest date above). He got a hold of my cell number and sent me this text. Yeah, he's a heart-breaker. He's already told me he's probably going to marry someone in his class though. At least he's honest. There need to be more honest guys like that! ;)

February Photo Challenge Day 1

I found this awesome blog by Tori and decided to participate in her February Photo Challenge! You should check out her blog, it's great! :) She is my newest blog to follow. Since I don't have internet access where I'm currently living, I'm not sure I can post on the weekends, but I'm gonna try. I might have to get caught up on days two and three on Monday, we shall see!

If you would like to participate in this challenge as well, check out the link here.

Day 1: Friend

Me and my BFF Mandy (and a few pics of Miss E)

I like that Tori starts each month with a list of goals. In order to complete my 101 in 1001 by August, I've decided to steal borrow that idea. For an update on how I'm doing on my 101 in 1001, check it out here. I don't think I'll get it all done by the end of August, but I'm pleased with my progress. I also plan to add a few things NOT on that list to my goals for each month.

Personal Goals:

- Get caught up on my daily Bible reading (I hate that I've gotten behind and it's only the first month of the year!) Ug! I'm so bad. This year I'm reading the Bible cover to cover (a few years ago I read it in chronological order, which was interesting).

- Have dinner with a friend who I haven't seen in a least three months.

- Write at least 10,000 words in my story. You might not know, but I used to write short stories when I was younger. And no, no one ever really read them. I have a friend encouraging me to write again (and even let others read it). It's not as easy as it sounds. I've been stuck for a while.

- Read at least ONE book that I haven't read from the 50 banned books list (I've been so bad about this).

- Get moved into my new apartment (okay, I know I'm moving in a few weeks, I just had to put something that I KNEW I could get accomplish). :)

- Make new friends at the church I've been attending the past month.

- Cut back on my Dr Pepper drinking (I'm typing this as I'm drinking a Dr Pepper).

Have a great weekend my friends!

XOXO!
