It's OK Thursday

It's been awhile since I've linked up for "It's OK Thursday" with Neely and Amber. Actually, it's been a long time since I've blogged at all. Oops! Anyway, why waste any time? What's OK with me right now...

IT'S OK....

To be completely lazy and worthless by 8:00 every night. Seriously I don't feel like doing a thing unless it involves TV, reading, or laying around. It's pathetic and sad.

That I've been too lazy to blog. Lately after work, I just don't feel like thinking anymore. My job is mentally exhausting. I love what I do, but it's the truth.

That I'm going through caffeine withdrawals. Besides my morning coffee, I've been drinking water all day for the past week.

To miss my old office at times. Our new office is definitely awesome and it's cool to be in a huge building, but I'd be lying if I said I kinda miss the way it was.

That I have a love/hate relationship with change.

To be sad that Nashville wasn't new this week. I'm way too addicted to that show. Love it!

To hate this bipolar weather. One day it's 30 degrees, the next day it's 70. It's ridiculous!

That I haven't painted my nails in over a month. Laziness. Seriously.

That I want to come up with something special to do for Valentine's Day, but I have no clue what. I really want to surprise J this year.

That I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl this year since my Patriots blew it, and I have no interest in the Harbaugh's.

What's OK with you this week?

Sunday Social 31

Happy Sunday!

Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend! I'm feeling a bit under the weather this weekend. Hopefully it's nothing that some sleep and medicine won't fix. I'm getting a little depressed thinking about going back to work tomorrow. I haven't had a full week's worth of work in a long time. It sucks getting back into the groove after the holidays. Since it's Sunday, I'm linking up with Neely and Ashley for Sunday Social.

1. Do you plan to change any of your eating habits in the new year?

I definitely need to cut back on the sweets. I went a little overboard in the month of December. Time to get back on track!

2. Any workout tips to get us back in shape after the holidays?

At this point, I think any workout is a good workout after the holidays. Just getting back into the workout groove can be a challenge. I know it is for me!

3. What is your favorite thing you did over the holidays?

There were so many moments that I loved over the holidays! Christmas Eve night with J's family, our families getting together for lunch, ringing in the new year together for the first time in 3 years, a shopping trip to Winston the day after New Years Day. I loved the holidays this year! It was less about the gifts, and more about the family!

4. What is something you hope that you accomplish in 2013 that you did not in 2012?

I hope to read more books this year and watch less TV. My goal for this year is 25 books. I only read 6 in 2012.

5. Name 3 things happening this year you are excited about and why.

1. At least one big vacation with J

2. Our 8 year dating anniversary

3. My 10 year high school reunion!

Hope you have a beautiful Sunday!

xoxo C

Friday's Letters

Happy Friday! It's been such a busy week even though I was off for the majority of it. This weekend will probably be a busy one. No rest for the weary! Enough about my lack of sleep, today I'm linking up with Ashley over at The Sweet Season for Friday's Letters.

Dear 2013, So far you've been a good one. I know it's only been 4 days, but can you keep it up please? Dear baby A, I can't believe that you will be 2 years old tomorrow. I remember meeting you just a couple of days after you were born. You were so tiny and adorable. 2 years later, you're still tiny and adorable! You fill my heart with joy and give me the worst case of baby fever. My mom has the best job ever getting to be your nanny. I'm blessed that you're a part of my life also! Dear J, I'm so thankful that I have been able to spend so much time with you for the past 2 weeks while I've had some time off from work. I know life is about to get hectic again, but I promise to always put you and our relationship first. I know I have failed at that in the past year. 2013 is for new beginnings and a wonderful future together. Thank you for having lunch with me at Olive Garden even though I know you're not a huge fan of it. You did it all with a smile! I love you so much! Dear work, you're kinda stressing me out this week. Let's make next week better, ok? Dear Spring Semester, let's make this a better semester than the Fall. Dear Florida State Seminoles, you made me so proud this season! Congrats on winning the Orange Bowl! I'm excited for next season! Dear H&M, I'm obsessed. You're going to make me go broke. Dear bank account, you're depressing me. Dear followers of this little blog, thank you so much for sticking around even after the giveaway and after my long blog breaks in 2012. You're the best! Have a great weekend!

Baby A & I on Christmas night. She was showing me what she got from Santa.

J with his spaghetti at Olive Garden. I cut off some of his head. He was too close and too tall haha! Gotta love phone pics!

New booties from H&M. Love!

One Word 2013: Courage

My word for 2012 was Present. I strived to be present instead of worrying about the future. I wanted to live in the moment. Honestly, I think I did a pretty good job with that this year. There were times where it was hard to stay in the present. My mom struggled with her health, my relationship suffered, I took on a much bigger role at work when I was promoted, and a few other key moments. I always wanted to jump ahead of God, but He had a much bigger plan just like always. I'm happy with where I am today.

For 2013, my word is Courage. I wanted to choose a word that would be challenging for me. Courage is something that I struggle with. My worst fear is hurting the people who are close to me. I worry about speaking up. This past week has shown me that I can be courageous. I can speak up. I can tell people what is bothering me without the world crashing down around me. I don't have to be afraid. I can be courageous when it comes to this blog. I can share what's on my heart. I can be courageous at work. I can do things that scare me.

 I had been thinking about this word for about a month. During church on Sunday, our pastor talked about Joshua 1:9. I knew God was telling me that this should be my main focus for the upcoming year. I found a few inspiring pins on Pinterest that I can look back on during the course of this year:

Do you have a word for 2013?

Hello 2013!

Happy New Year! Wishing you a happy and healthy 2013! I had plans for a 2012 recap today, but I'm a little tired from all the celebrating. Staying up until 2:30 AM isn't something I'm used to. This girl needs some sleep! J and I had a fun time celebrating in our comfy clothes, eating pizza, and watching Storage Wars and House Hunters until the ball dropped at midnight. So glad I've been able to spend more time with him in the past week while I've been off from work.
