Etiquette for a Lady

Etiquette for a Lady

this is become one of my favorite places! i love to read these because they're so true and can really help out in random situations. :D

excited

i know you guys are probably over this move already, even though it hasn't even taken place yet! it's just insane to think that we have we have 13 more days until the move...i have 5 more days of work and that 5 of these 13 days will be spent in a celebration of some sort! i'll be atteneding 3 different farewell parties before we leave! it's exciting :D

lee's party for work is being held this saturday, only because his boss is going away memorial weekend. then my job is going to have a very little "to do" for me and THEN the ladies at my old job are holding a 2 part farewell that includes rollerskating and karoke in manhattan! i'm on the hunt for a fat friendly rollerskating outfit and a killer dress to wear for the karoke night in manhattan! i'm so glad summer is here cause that opens my options to so much more fun stuffs!

I can't wait for the move.

nighty night

New Girl

I DOUBT I'LL HAVE FOX READILY AVAILABLE TO ME FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THIS EVERY WEEK BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS WILL MAKE LIFE UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING.

:D

a "wow" kinda woman.

“I’ve always been a size 14-16. I’m not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. People don’t need to use their bodies sexually to do well. If anyone told me to lose weight, I wouldn’t work with them any more. I don’t want to go on a diet; I don’t want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing. Why would I do that? Just be happy and don’t be stupid.” - Adele

counting down....

I cannot believe how fast the days are going by. 8 more days of work 14 more days until the move, it just doesn't seem real. I guess it won't seem real until the first 2 weeks in Quebec are up and I'm thinking we're NOT packing up to head back home because...it will be our home.

I'm starting to get sad about it. I've made a friend and now I'm having to leave her behind. I really have to stop doing that! This whole making friends business isn't cut out for someone who can't stay still. I just feel so selfish about even allowing her into my life when I knew what the outcome was going to be. It's also hard for the people I've come to depend on when I just needed some time... they were there for me and listened to me and now...I'm just leaving. I'm insanely excited and not really nervous but sad. I'm sad that I won't have them right next door or a phone call away. I won't have my shopping buddies or my GNO (girls night out) I won't get to see Garrett, Joelle or Gabriel grow up. I just hope that everyone knows that I love them and I'm going to miss them so much. I don't talk about it because it hurts and I know that if I start I'll just end crying like the big baby that I can be. I know that everyone knows I love them, I'm hoping the one person I'll be able to tell in person this week is my sister. We haven't said a word to each other in 6 months and I hope she'll answer my phone call tonight. I hope I hope I hope.

anywho. 14 days and counting.....

laughter

Yesterday and today have been full of nothing but laughs and tears. I really didn't think much about the people we'd be leaving behind in the beginning of our moving process but now, with only 2 weeks until the big day, the reality is definitely setting in. :(

Yesterday we had a double date with an older couple that is very dear to our hears. Chipper and Ayanna are the couple that inspire us to just do whatever we can to make it work, especially when it comes to having children in our lives. We started the evening having dinner at Houlihan's where we had oversized cocktail drinks, too many appetizers and then a I was challenged to take a shot of whiskey by Chip and the waiter! I didn't want to dissapoint so I accepted and IMPRESSED! lol :D

After dinner we went to Mystique which is a Hookah Lounge. I've tried hookah before and really enjoyed it so I was all for going again :D It was such a great time and just a good way to talk and enjoy the company of good people. We ended the night at Cold Stone....need I say more? lol

Today, Lee hung out with a good friend doing "man" things like seeing the movie Bridesmaids!!! lol I however, took my cousins and my brother Matt (visiting from florida) to see Thor. O....M....G....

HE IS PERFECTION.

TGIF

Yesterday, my girlfriend Dani and I went dress shopping for a wedding she's attending. Honestly, at first I was a little weery about going...only because she had been looking for a dress since the beginning of the month and NOTHING she tried was good enough!!! Alas, Macys was our first stop and luckily our only stop! she was able to find not 1 but 2 dresses that she absolutely loved and because of the she bought both :D (she's gonna return the one she ends up not wearing lol)

were prety sure she's keeping the middle one cause it just gives her a freaking awesome figure! we ended the night eating Red Robin, yummmmm! lol and watcing the last bit of American Idol. I will no longer be watching now that all the talent has been voted off!

i found the cutest panties(yes more panties!) on clearance in macys! they were $1.99 a piece and SO freaking pretty :D

I was wearing a cute little outfit I threw together (which included my new shoes!)
