It's Ok Thursday

This morning has been a little bit rough on me already so it's really a perfect day to remind myself that some things are okay...even if your first thought is to panic. 

It's ok...

- To just want to stay home with the dog all the time.

Yeah I am looking hot, but I have the best cuddle buddy ever.

- That I really want Valentine's  Day to get here so I can give Kev his present. 

I am the WORST at keeping the presents I give people a secret. 

I just get excited.

- To sometimes, and key word is sometimes use money for motivation. 

I've started using this app called Gym-Pact and it's legit.

You set a goal and a monetary value to go with it, if you meet the goal you get rewarded with some moo-lah, if you don't you lose some of your money (and then it goes to those folks who did meet their goals). 

If that's not motivation I am not sure what is?

obvi not my profile, just an example :) 

- That my main reason for wanting it to be the weekend is so I can watch The Walking Dead again. 

Yes, I realize I am obsessed.

- To be aware of the fact that I am really great at planning and starting a project, but when it comes to finishing it...eh well it just doesn't get finished...and yet I still get stuff for new projects.

- To wish Destiny's Child was really getting back together.

Don't get me wrong I love B all on her own but that Super Bowl preformance sure did open up the nostalgia gates.

- To push yourself in all aspects of your life.

- That I genuinely get very excited for our Thursday yoga class.
I have felt so much better, mentally and physically, since we've started and it's great way to end the work week.

- That I have an slight addiction to buying coffee mugs.

Have you seen these super cute ones from Ashley Brooke Design?
I've already ordered mine!

1/2/3

- To want it to be spring.

I'm ready when you are Mother Nature.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday!

It's Ok...

So today is normally wedding pictures day, and I really only have one "section" left.
The deets.
I hate to tell you my dear blogger friends that I completely failed on that one.
Just did not get the motivation to get the post up to par.
Next Thursday I'll have my the post for you, if anyone is even interested, but until then I'm joining Neely's link up!

It's ok...

To have a complete blogger fail.

_______________

To not mind the rain. Even a little bit.
We need it, and I love thunderstorms.

_______________

To wish I was still cuddled up in my bed for said thunderstorm, cuddling with this guy.

 _______________

To say you'll do something and immediately regret it because you'd rather sit on your ass and do nothing. 

_______________
 

To get FOMO.
It seems like that last couple of days I've come to realize my "Fear of Missing Out" isn't just a "it's me" thing.
It's a real problem for people.
However, I will say I do not have it as bad as some others, just sometimes.

_______________

To keep talking about anniversary plans but still not have set anything in stone.

To have missed all my normal shows for the Olympics.
They just suck you right in!

_______________

To have kind of lived up to the "spending freeze" you put yourself on. 

It lasted for like 2 and half weeks.

_______________

To justify letting up on said spending freeze purely because you want to start fall clothing shopping. 

Hey, some of this stuff is still pretty cheap before the season really hits.
Just got 2 pairs of boots from DSW for less than $100!
That's a deal and pretty soon those suckers are going to be a-hundo a pop!

1/2

Not necessarily in this order.

Happy Thursday!

It's Ooootay!

Geez is it the weekend yet? I have been in a bit of a funk. There have been points of this week that have flown! Others...have dragged!
A relaxing weekend filled with family will do that trick and get me out of this funk, among these other things I find to be ok :)
