This is gonna be a quick one.

So lately, I feel like karma hasn't been doing it's fucking job. I bend over backwards for people (mostly because I LOVE seeing people happy - not because I want anything out of it), and what do I get? SHIT ON. That's what. I got $120 speeding ticket on Sunday (plus I have to pay another $40 to take the fucking driving class to get the effin ticket off my record). Ugh.


So, I'm going to start to be selfish. I registered for the first of many nursing classes to get my BSN (already have my bachelors, so it won't take too long to become an RN) because I've been putting it off for way too long. It's time to focus on what Kristin wants.


Also, I'm feeling out of control fat. I am on a mission to lose 10lbs starting tomorrow (it's already 7:20pm and I'm done eating for today). 


Goals:


Become a nurse.
Get extra hot.
Make more money & enjoy my job.




Focker out.

Fox Valley Mall. BORING.

So, sitting back and looking at my current situation, I have to laugh. I have a bachelor's degree in Bio-Chemistry, and right now, I'm sitting in Fox Valley Mall at my work's store front. Every summer, the college I now work for (to remain nameless), sets up a store in the mall to apparently gain more traffic. Let me tell you something - it's a waste of money. I'd rather be at the office trying to salvage any student I can than here watching pre-teens shop for slut clothes.

Screaming kids are everywhere, and I have not gotten in touch with ONE PERSON who is interested in sitting down with me to go over their educational future. People are here to shop and spend money on fun things...

WHEW. Ok, now that that's out of my system, let's talk about something fun. Tomorrow is Friday!!! I'm going to Party City on my lunch break to get the last bit of decorations for the baby shower I'm throwing on Saturday. I love throwing parties, and if I could get paid to do it, I would switch careers in a heartbeat.

It should be a good time, as the mom-to-be is kick ass. We are all wearing sweatpants and t-shirts and stuffing our faces while opening gifts. Pictures will be sure to follow.

Sunday is my nephew's actual 4th birthday, so I'm going to try to pop over to my brother's house to see him and spend some much needed auntie/neph time together :)

And there's another weekend come and gone... This whole "working 40+ hours a week" is for the birds...

Have a great day, friends!

Monday but Thursday:)

So, it's Monday, but technically, I'm only working today and tomorrow, so it's like Thursday already! I like weeks like this. 


The weekend was BEYOND chaotic, but it was very fun, and now my friend is married :) It was pretty much tornado weather all day Friday, so that sucked for the bride. But when it cleared up, we got our asses outside for TONS of pictures. The humidity made for a stellar hair day for all of us, and the groomsmen were all set with wearing three layers of clothes. But like I said, it was a great time. The bride looked gorgeous, and the party bus was amazeballs. It was complete with karaoke, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't sing Lionel Richie. Boom.

Not pictured - my ass sweat and melted makeup...


Saturday, I had to work in the morning (again, DUMB move on my part to volunteer for that...), and then I drove out to see my friend Bradalis and her new bundle of joy, Montgomery (Monty) James Sunich. ADORABLE. I still don't want one of my own, but he was so squishy :)

Finally, I capped off the weekend by celebrating my upcoming birthday with my family. My dad had us all out at his place for swimming/BBQ and ice cream cake from DQ. YUM. I can't believe I'm going to be 29 in a few days... The cake made it all worth it, though.

That's all I've got. We're heading to Kentucky tomorrow after I get home from work, so that will be fun. I get to be a hillbilly for 5 days :) 


Gettin' lucky in Kentucky!!

Busy Bee!!

So, I'm busy as SHIT this week... Working late tonight and tomorrow, and then Thursday/Friday start the wedding festivities for my friend Frances. It's bound to be a good time, but I need to get tons of stuff accomplished before then!


I'm picking up my bridesmaid dress today on lunch - I needed to get it hemmed. For some reason (maybe because I'm 5'10") I ordered extra length. I didn't need it... $120 later, the dress should fit perfectly now. Bah.


To get me through these next few days, I've decided to get back on the sauce. Diet Mountain Dew, that is... I found this deliciously gigantic can at Walgreens on my way into work this morning. As a comparison of how large it is, I put my hand next to it. 24oz of pure caffeine.I should be up all night.

So the wedding is Friday, and like an asshole, I volunteered to work 10-2 on Saturday. Idiot move on my part. Then at 4pm Saturday, I am headed to meet my friend's baby, Monty :) I've seen pictures, and he's super adorable and squishy. I can't wait to love him up! Oh, and seeing his mom will be nice, too :)


After this crazy weekend is over, the husband and I are packing up and driving to Kentucky to visit his Grandma and Grandpa Stiltner. We went a few years ago, and we had SO much fun. We'll be down there for July 4th (my 29th birthday)... I can't wait to just relax and enjoy ourselves!


I NEED to get this t-shirt before we go. I said I was going to last time, and I didn't. It's a must this year. I promise to not have this dumb fake smile look on my face though...

That's all I've got. I hope everyone is enjoying this "hot as balls" Tuesday afternoon!

Sweet Lady Friday

Thank you, baby Jesus - It's Friday! This week was crap, and I'm going to be happy to put it to rest. For once, I don't have a big event planned this weekend (showers, bday party, wedding, etc etc). So I'm going to welcome the much needed break & get things done around the Stiltner Estate. I do have to take the boys to the vet tomorrow morning, which will be a shit show at best. Sparky's not bad - you can do anything to that dog, and he'll thank you for it. Love my muppet.

Gus, however, is an entirely different story. He likes to be home laying in the sun or on mom's boobs. He's anti-social unless he gets to know you and determines that you are worth his time (kind of like his mother lol). He usually takes a hot shit the second we walk into the vet's office whether he's gone at home right before or not. It's just him saying "Fuck you, pick up my shit." And I'm sure he and I will not be on speaking terms the rest of the weekend. This is a huge ordeal for him, and since he's German, he'll hold a grudge for a solid month or so. Deal with it. I love him :)

Once that's over, all I'm planning on doing is straightening up the house, getting caught up on laundry and relaxing. Of course, my Christian Grey will be with me... FUCK I love those books. I'm almost done with book two, and I can't wait to see how everything pans out. I'm a loser. Deal with it.

Anyway, that's all I've got for today. I'm ready for it to be 5pm so I can go home and hold down the couch. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!


Another quote I like:


The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working when you get up in the morning, and doesn't stop until you get to the office.

All is right with the world again...

OMG the internet has been down at work for two days. It's finally up and running, and I feel like I can survive a 9 hour day again. Having access to trash websites doesn't hinder my work day at all. In fact, I think it helps. I look up celeb gossip while I'm making dials and talking with students. It makes the day go by much faster, which is a good thing for everyone.


Another issue I would like to get on the table is diet pop. I NEVER drink pop unless I have a huge taste for it for some reason. Literally, I bet it's been 6 months or more since I have had a carbonated drink of any kind (other than LaCroix - I drink that shit like it's going out of style). This morning, for some reason, I want a Diet Mountain Dew. I know pop is "bad" for you with all of the unnatural sweeteners, etc. But Weight Watchers says it's 0 points. So what the fuck? What's your take on the situation? Yay or nay??


I bought one, and I've been staring at it for the last 20 minutes... I had fruit for breakfast, which is also 0 points, so I'm doing really well today. I get off work at 5, and I'm planning on getting a quick workout in before my weave snapping appointment at 7:45pm. So drinking this should be fine, right??? WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE A FAST METABOLISM?!?!?!?!?!?


Such is life. 


So writing all that down just convinced me to start drinking the fucking pop... glad I got that worked out.


It's freezing in the office today, and my boss isn't in - he's working from another location - so I'm takin' er easy today. I've got a SOLID mix of music playing on my Spotify (currently "Jump" by Van Halen), and tomorrow is already Friday. Good news.


My 50 Shades of Grey obsession is becoming stronger now that I'm about halfway through book 2, 50 Shades Darker. I can't put these damn books down, and I'm frightened for book 3 to be over. What will I read after these that has as much passion and drama??? I shudder at the thought. 


Anyway, that's my boring life in a nutshell today. I'll leave here at 5, run home to workout and play with the boys and then get my hair done. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow, I'm sure.


Until then, I leave you with this:

I'm gonna make you girls a HUMP DAY treat!

This morning, I got up, peed, took the boys out, went back upstairs to get in the shower. But I found myself on the couch in our loft. Just laying there. I have no motivation today, and I was milliseconds away from calling in. I knew I would feel bad if I did though because I have a bunch of stuff coming up in the next few weeks that I need days off for...

So, I waited until the last possible second and got my ass in the shower... I figure, what else would I have done all day? Napped? Cuddled with the boys? Mentally unwound? Hmm. All that sounds nice right about now. Alas, I'm at work. I'm here until 8pm, and I have NO IDEA how I'm going to make it here that long. I'm obsessed with my day planner, so I went through that this morning and organized the rest of my year, practically. I'm also pretty sure I've Googled everything there is to Google. Now what? I have a meeting at 2pm, and then I guess I'll take a lunch.

 I need to take my bridesmaid dress into the cleaners and get it hemmed. The wedding is next Friday. Way to wait until the last minute, Kris.

But once I get that done, it should be smooth sailing until 8pm... hopefully.

Tomorrow, I'm getting my weave tightened and snapped after work (I need it BAD)... and Saturday, both boys are going to the vet. They didn't have two appointments together, so I have to take Gus at 9am and Sparky at 12pm... Which is good... it'll give them one on one time with mommy to hate me. I doubt we'll be on speaking terms until well into next week - until they get their grooming :)

Ok, I have a meeting. Let's get this over with................................ Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday xoxo
