It's OK Thursday!

It's been a hot minute since I've done It's OK Thursday.

I figured why not give it a go today?

I'll be linking up with Neely and Amber. Join me!

It's OK...

..that I'm not obsessed with JT's new song. I know it will come in time.
I am, however, instantly obsessed with Nelly's new song, Hey Porsche.
That man can seriously do no wrong.

At this present moment, I'm also loving The Lumineers, Ho Hey & Hunter Hayes' beautiful song, Wanted.  

..that I began the Couch to 5K app yesterday and at 15 minutes I was hurtin'. 

Couch to 5k is an app that slowly 'teaches' you to run a 5k in 2 months time. 

I'm not a runner (nor will I ever be) but I do have a goal of running a 5k. 

It may not be in 2 months. Heck, it may not even be this year.

But, it is a goal of mine & achieving goals is important to me.

It helps motivate me in other areas of my life & extra motivation is never a bad thing.

Below you'll find the instructions for the first week of running.
They want you to work out a total of 3 times a week for 20 minutes, which is an attainable goal. 

.. that after having my first day of the new app, I was fully prepared to eat semi healthy. Nothing drastic because food is my happy time, but I certainly didn't expect to stuff my face with Hibachi. 

When I finished cooking my dinner at 7:30, the boyfriend calls and tells me to throw it away because we're going to Kobe (aka Food Coma God) with some friends.

Being the budgeter that I am, I saved the food for tonight and we headed to Kobe.

Chicken, Steak, Shrimp, EXTRA noodles, rice, soup & salad. And I'm spent!

The best part is the leftovers that I'll be eating immediately following my day 2 of the app. Oops! 

.. that my tax return is not exactly what I hoped for. A few hundred more would have
been ideal but I'm happy with anything, really. At least they are done and the money is on it's way! :)

.. that I got angry when reading this article. Sarah sent me this link disproving that.
Luckily, my plans to go find a Congress member to adopt me today have been canceled.
However, there are still many laws that Congress passes that they don't have to follow. I just don't get how the people that make the laws, don't have to follow them. Doesn't make any sense to me, at all.

.. that I have zero plans for this long weekend. I wish I was going on vacation or some sorts, but I can't afford that right now and it will be nice to get some errands done around the house. Last night, I cleaned & organized 3 separate closets. The spare bedroom closet  will hopefully be tackled this weekend :)

... that I've never been garage sailing and I'm dying to go.
I'm hoping to pick up some old pieces of furniture or home decor items and go all Pintester on them. 

... that I plan on doing absolutely nothing tonight because SUITS is back and we're throwing ourselves a mini Suits partayyyy.

That's all folks!

It's OK Thursday

My plan was to post on another topic today, but after my morning I couldn't pass up an It's OK post.

Let's get right to it. Shall we?

It's OK that I got a flat tire on my way to work :(

Let me paint the picture for you...

I left for work extra early this morning, went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and then headed to work. I'm in the middle of the road when my tire sounds really bad and my car is just not driving smoothly. I pulled over to find my tire basically in shreds. 

Not the most fantastic thing to start of my day, but we can get this taken care of. 

I got out all of my supplies and noticed that I didn't have a wrench. Of course mine would be missing right when I need it. Luckily my friend Kate came to my rescue and brought me her wrench. I've changed many tires in my life (I don't know why, I just have) and this was by far the worst experience. My jack was giving me all kinds of problems and my hands currently feel like they are going to fall off. 

Anyhoo - I'm alive and it's done and we were only an hour late to work. YAY! 

Lately I've been only trying to look on the positive side of things. I'm lucky enough to have a car to break down, friends to come to my aid and a job to be late to. So yes, all is ok. 

On to more fun things!

It's OK that I'm on a fantasy football league and I have no idea how the pointing system works or how to play certain people. None of my players have a game until Sunday so I have some time to figure all that out.

Are you on a fantasy football league? We did it at work and I figured why not? It will make watching the games that I don't care about more fun. Check out my team!

It's OK that I fell asleep at the start of Teen Mom on Tuesday so I haven't finished the Reunion special. Maybe I'm just trying to hold onto it a bit longer.

Sticking with reality TV. 

It's OK that I watched 10 minutes of Honey Boo Boo last night. My brain can literally not take longer than that in one sitting. It's a total train wreck. 

Until next time.

Stay classy, blog friends :)

It's OK Thursday

It's OK

...that I have zero weekend festivities planned. I'm perfectly content with that knowing how much I have coming up in the next few months.

...that I cried this morning when I found out that Guiliana and Bill officially became parents to Edward Duke Rancic. They are two of the most in love, successful, good hearted people and I don't think anyone deserves this more. After the tough year they had, I'm thrilled that the surrogacy process worked for them.

...that I've had a gift card to the mall since my birthday at the beginning of July and I still haven't used it. Who am I?

...that I constantly feel like I never have anything to wear lately. Must use said gift card to  update my wardrobe soon. Maybe I just made myself some weekend plans :)

...that I've been having a mental battle with the cut and color of my hair the past few weeks. I badly need a change, but I'm not daring when it comes to color. And my hair needs to be longer, not shorter so we may run into some problems with the cut. 

...that I'm dying for 9:00 to hit so I'm home watching Big Brother. The episode last night was insane in the membrane. 

...that I'm completely over my blog layout. I really want something with a more vibrant and bright feeling. Instead, I feel somber when going to my page. No beuno.

Link up over at Amber or Neely's blog to share what is just ok with you today :)

It's OK Thursday

I'm still alive. This week, I don't know that I've been busier than I have in the past, but for some reason it's been harder for me to blog. The weekend was filled with drinks, Call Me Maybe Karaoke, slip n slides and LOTS of alcohol - more on this later!

It's OK..

.. that one of my best friends is moving to South Florida for law school in exactly one week. It's only OK because we've figured out she is only re-locating 180 minutes away. It sounds much better that way :)

... that I have 3 birthday celebrations to attend this weekend and I don't think I'll even be able to get through one of them. Hopefully, they are all downtown in the same location on the same night. I already know that isn't the case, but I'm hoping at least two of them are :) I just get so tired going out every weekend!

... that I didn't do anything to get ready this morning and I look like crap.

... that I have a dentist appointment today for my 6-month cleaning. This is OK because the dentist has never really bothered me and I get to leave the office a little early. YAY!

... that I lost my infinity bracelet that Katie gave me as a bridesmaid present on the slip n slide on Sunday. I really loved that bracelet and I'm obsessed with infinity symbols now. I currently have my eye on this gorgeous ring. I'll take it in gold & silver, please :)

{here}

.. that I'm DYING to decorate a  home. It's no secret that I'm obsessed with white right now when it comes to home decor. It's simplistic elegance at it's finest. 

 & these dark walls with the beautiful white trim is just too gorgeous for words. Don't be surprised if you see this exact thing in a future post when I get into a permanent home.

Please let that be soon. Please, oh please. 

It's OK Thursday

I'm linking up for It's OK Thursday with Neely & Amber!

It's OK... 

... that I'm really looking forward to this weekend. We have our quarterly LOCO tomorrow at work. Basically we get a half day at work and spend the other half doing something fun as a group. For this Loco, we're going bowling and we've separated into teams. Each team has to come up with a cool damn and dress in costumes. My team is going as the characters of Mad Men and we're calling ourselves Bowl'd Fashioneds (because of  his drink?) I've never seen the show so I don't know much about it but everyone else on my team is super excited about it. Since I love costumes, I'm just as excited :) Pictures to follow!

... that one of my close friends is moving to South Florida for law school in 3 weeks and it's just now setting it that we probably won't have our bi-weekly (if not more) wine nights and our lives are going to be completely different. I know we won't have problems finding things to talk about but it's still going to suck, BIG TIME!

... that it just premiered last night but I'm seriously loving Beverly Hills Nannies. I'm honestly shocked at how classless, pretentious and self-centered some of these "celebrities" are. I'm excited to watch and see how the rest of the season unfolds. Unfortunately, realistically, I doubt that any of these girls will get nanny jobs now that they are featured on a show. 


... that in half of my post yesterday I thought yesterday was Thursday and was excited about Big Brother. Oh well today is the day!! Oh and I loved Real World last night. Really not diggin' the whole Trey and Laura thing though. She is way too obsessed with him already.  


... that my boyfriend wants to go to law school simply because of this guy! We both are really into Suits (on USA) and Justin wants to be just like him!

... that I washed two loads of laundry on Sunday and they are still sitting on top of the dryer. Why is that my least favorite thing to do in this world? I need someone who will hang up my clothes exactly how I like them, but for free. Possible? I think not. So for now my dryer will have to deal with being suffocated and I'll get to them tonight.


... that I have still NOT seen Magic Mike. I can't believe it. I thought I was going to be there waiting opening tonight and I still haven't seen it two weeks later? Disgrace I tell ya. Some people  have told me that it wasn't that good because there was no real plot. Seriously girls? I'm not going for the plot! ;)


... that I got two free Slurpees yesterday. Oops! Now I'm craving another one, badly.

... that it's Thursday. One more day closer to Friday :)

It's OK Thursday

It's OK Thusday with Amber and Neely

.. that I haven't posted in a week and not many times before that in the last month. Between traveling, the upcoming wedding, work and everything else, I just haven't had the time!

.. that I miss my Landyn so much. I've been so busy so I haven't been seeing him every single day like I normally do. I didn't see him yesterday so I'm going through withdrawals :(

.. that I have SOO much to do tonight, which includes washing & styling my hair and giving myself a mani/pedi. They are two things that are very time consuming when I have so much else to do.

.. that I tried on my bridesmaid dress for this weekend's wedding and it's all of a sudden HUGE on me. On my lunch break I'm going to find someone that will do a speedy alteration. Fingers crossed. 

.. that I want these floats badly! I'm not a fan of the ocean or lakes, basically any body of water that I can't see what's below. Obviously I would have to make an exception for both of these. 

.. that I didn't get home from work until 10 last night. This really was ok because we threw the future Mrs. Milton a surprise bridal shower at work and then we all headed out for HH, that ended up turning into a somewhat all night affair. 

It was country themed because this girl loves her some country. Of course we had to have Sweet Tea Vodka & Lemonade as the signature drink! 

We got her pink cowboy boots :)

I wore flannel just for her :) & trust, you don't see this all that often.

 Cute cowboy boot Koozies and her personalized bridal mason jar glass :)

 Just hanging out at Ember for Happy Hour with her fancy cup! ; )

.. that this post is so short. I have to get back to finding an immediate alterations lady :)

Happy Thursday!

It's OK Thursday

It's OK Thursday, as per usual :)

It's OK...

... that this weekend I hardly have any plans, except a hair appointment tomorrow and a birthday celebration for my Mema on Saturday. 

.. that my roots are horrid. This is only OK because of said appointment.

.. that my nails are going commando today. And the fact that I put that a lot in my It's OK posts. What is it with my nails on Thursdays?

.. that everyday that I bring my lunch I have to try to talk myself into eating it rather than going out for lunch. 

.. that I'm always fighting going on a shopping spree. I hate budgets. While I was in college, I worked (a lot) and never had to worry about money in ways that I do now. I guess because I know my paychecks are the same no matter what. I can't "pick up a shift" If I want to go shopping or on a vacation, I have to budget for it. Oh the joys of the 'real world'. I can't lie though, I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

.. that I'm OBSESSED with the song Paradise by Coldplay. Listen to it, thank me later.

.. that I'm going to a wedding next week and still don't have a dress for the rehearsal dinner. Time is tickin'.

.. that mornings are the worst for me. It's just the first 15 minutes of getting up and after that I'm fine. I just wish the getting up part was a tad easier. 

That's all for today. What is something that is OK for you?

It's OK Thursday

It's finally THURSDAY. The second to last day of the week and if that doesn't make everything OK, I don't know what does. OK, maybe being Friday would, but you know get catch my drift ; )

As per usual, I'm linking up with Amber and Neely for It's OK Thursday!

It's OK...

.. that I didn't bring anything for lunch to work today. My boyfriend brought me home my absolute favorite cupcakes, red velvet! After further investigation, I found out his co-workers gave them to him for his birthday but since he knows they are mine & a co-worker's favorite, he let me take them to work :)

.. that we leave tomorrow and I haven't gone shopping, packed or done anything that I'm supposed to have ready for the trip. That's no surprise though. Anytime I'm going out of town, I typically stay up until the wee hours of the morning getting everything together. I'm a planner by nature, however, a procrastinator when packing. That in itself is OK with me :)

.. that I'm still obsessed with too many reality TV shows. Last night I was thrilled to be able to catch up on some of my favorites. And these 3 are just what I was behind on ;)

.. that I want a Turkey Tom with no mayo, add oil & vinegar for lunch. Hello, Jimmy Johns! Why am I so obsessed with this place? It's definitely not just another sub place to me.

What's OK with you today?

It's OK Thursday!

It's been awhile so I'm looking forward to doing an It's OK Thursday post :)

It's OK...

..that I have been a terrible blogger in the last few weeks. I've been busy at work and my life feels like it's been nonstop. Last night I got to relax at home all alone. Rented a movie, gave myself a manicure and had wine to top it off #perfection #justwhatIneeded

.. that I've been to Panama and Clearwater in the last 3 weeks and I'm going to St. Augustine, Cocoa Beach & New Orleans (fingers crossed) in the next 2 weeks. I love traveling, but I can't lie, it was nice to be at home last weekend.

.. that it's official, I'm addicted to Publix/Chick fila/Panera tea. I buy a galloon of sweet and unsweet and mix them for the perfect mixture of goodness.

.. that I got my hair done 2-weeks ago and my roots are horrid. It's like my color just falls out or something. I need a something new that will hold the color at least 4-weeks.  Currently, I just get high & low lights but I'm considering doing all over color and then some low lights. Thoughts and/or suggestions?

..that the period and exclamation point on my phone hasn't worked since Friday night. Does anyone realize how frustrating that is? I never realized how much of an exclamation point abuser I am until now. Ok, maybe that's a lie ;)

.. that I CAN'T for work to be over today to have a girls night with these pretty ladies. 

Laters! ;)

It's OK Thursday!

It's OK Thursdays with Amber and Neely.

It's OK...

.. that I was part time for far longer than I wanted to be, because I'm now officially a 

FULL TIME 

employee at, what I believe is the greatest company in the world :)

I found out the amazing news towards the end of my review, so approximately at 1:45 yesterday. There were tears, hugs, congratulatory emails, people that stop by my desk to congratulate me, and the CEO came over to give me a high five while wearing a bathing suit (FYI: he had a shirt on as well). I don't think it can get more official than that.

I'm just so extremely grateful to be part of such an amazing company. The environment in which we work is unlike any other and if that doesn't make it amazing enough, the people are just incredible. All I know is it was worth the wait!

Last night when I got home I had these pretty things waiting for me

 We headed to Bonefish for dinner. Nothing like bang bang shrimp to celebrate :)

It's OK..

..that the wait was 50 minutes so we grabbed a high top in the bar area. We waited 22 minutes for someone to come greet us. 22 MINUTES! Not only did it take her that long to come over but she didn't apologize for the wait. I was appalled. At that point, I just wanted to get my bang bang and leave. Being in the service industry for some many years, I feel like I have sympathy for servers, but that was just ridiculous. We got an app and a few drinks and hit the road.

From there we met up with a couple of friends that helped me celebrate! Justin suggested Irish Car Bombs. I hadn't had one in well over 3-years so it was an interesting choice but of course delicious :)

It's OK..

.. that I'm about to spend a massive amount online today at Tobi. I've got to have my shopping spree celebration, too ;)

.. that I'm going out for dinner and drinks tonight for the 4th time in a row. Sista needs to catch up on her shows, cleaning and sleep. Not to mention I'm sure my liver could use a break!

Today EVERYTHING is OK.. I'm on cloud 9 :)

It's OK Thursday!

It's OK Thursday with Neely!

This week, it's OK...

that I went to dinner last night and had a few glasses of wine and that was considered an eventful night. I came home at 11 and felt like I was out until 3AM. I'm definitely getting old!

that I didn't get to eat my chicken mini's from Chick Fila today until they were cold. They weren't as good, but still hit the spot. If you haven't had these delectable breakfast treats before, I would definitely recommend trying them sooner rather than later. The bread is out of this world! 

Back to my point - the ONLY reason why it's OK that my food was cold was because it was for a good reason. I had to get to work extra early to decorate Kate's desk for her birthday! :) 

Please don't make fun of the crown because..

A. She'll be wearing for the AT LEAST the next 8 hours 

B. I did what I could with the supplies that I had, in a rush. 

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIEEEEE :) I'm working on changing what I call her back to her mother given name, Kate, because when she gets married in June her name will be Kate Milton. Pretty hip name to have these days, if I do say so myself! 

that my boyfriend and I are both feeling the itch to travel. We decided to book a vacation for the very near future to anywhere that has crystal blue water. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Send them my way. I'm all ears :)

Preferably places that look like this, but not on a 'this' budget - if you know what I mean ;)

that I think I'm about to become a soccer coach for my 2-year old nephew's team. They have been looking for one and sent out an email yesterday saying that they still didn't have a volunteer. My skills have never included soccer, but how many rules could there really be for a bunch of 2-year olds? 

that, once again, I have an action packed weekend. I absolutely love always having something to do, but sometimes I want to have NOTHING to do - for just one day! I know I'll have fun though, so no complaints here!

that I still haven't painted my nails this week. My nails are naked and I'm definitely not feelin' the look!

that I'm picking up my nephew at daycare today and then he is spending the night with Auntie tonight. I'm SUPER stoked, but I know that my lack of sleep will reflect in my mood tomorrow. But, every extra second I get with him makes everything else OK :)

That's all that I've got today. Thanks for stopping by!

It's OK Thursday!

It's OK Thursday!

It's OK that I wrote an entire post for this yesterday. Once I realized it was Wednesday, I deleted it. Sometimes you can definitely tell that I was born to be blonde.

It's OK that I leave for the cruise tomorrow and I haven't even started packing. 

I normally only get spray tans on my face because it's quick & easy, and I've had full bodies but with someone actually spraying me, but yesterday was my first spray tan by a machine. My hands look so funky. I would take a picture for you guys, but I tried that and you just don't get the same effect. 

It's OK that I have been trying to diet but Chick-fila breakfast sounded too amazing to pass up today. 

It's OK that it rained all night last night here and the sky just looks gloomy. It puts me in a lay in bed while it rains outside kinda mood.

It's OK that I'm way too into statistics and I psych myself out no matter how much I'm looking forward to someone. Did you know that 165 people have gone missing on cruises since 1995, 13 of them are from 2011 alone and already 3 cases in 2012. WOW! 

This kind of information has somehow managed not to attract media attention. We've only heard about some of the most famous cases, like George Smith and Amy Bradley. Amy's case is probably the most heart wrenching of all, I've been following this case for quite some time and I hope there is some resolution soon. For both her and her family's sake.

It's OK that I'm not at the Oscar's like my good friend Kate. She is at the Oscar's trying to get additional celebrities to sign up for our company's platforms. Since we will both be on vacation, we thought it would be fun to do guest posts for each other tomorrow. Be sure to check out my blog tomorrow so you can meet her and I'll be over at her blog so come find me there! :)

It's OK Thursday!

Linking up with Neely and Amber for It's OK Thursday!

It's OK...

that I went to sleep at 10 last night. It felt so good to be able to fall asleep early. I desperately needed it.

that I started 'I don't know how she does it' with SJP and couldn't even sit through the entire movie. It was definitely not one of her best.

that we still have one day left in the work week. Well, more like two, since it's only 8AM.

that I really want this outfit because it reminds me of Cinderella.

It's OK..

that one of my dreams has always been to be Cinderella at Disney. They tell me I'm too short -  yet, I thought Disney was where all your dreams come true!

that I found out that VicSec makes you mail back your bathing suits and won't just let you take them back to the store. Grr!

that I feel like I never have anything to wear. Everything either looks horrible on me or I've seen myself in it and don't like the look anymore. If that makes any sense at all.

to really love this Essie color. It's called Ballet Slipper. I was thinking of putting this over a French - just to give it a softer look.

that my boyfriend has to work this weekend. It always stinks when I know I won't see him for an entire weekend. 

that my dinner last night included this plus a few pieces of bread. 

My chicken was Parmesan Encrusted though and it came with 4 pieces and more pasta. 

It's OK..

that all I'm looking forward to is lunch so I can eat my leftovers :)

that this looks really stinkin' good & I would love to give it a try

to really love this whole set up but know that my boyfriend would never go for it.

 Does anyone else find things that they would have loved to have back in their college days but know they should just get over it because they are too old for it? I'm 100% guilty of that!
