peanut butter and good times

"wow, that was a productive week. *faceplant*" - my good friend, PR and fashionista extraordinaire, Danielle

It's like she crept right into my mind at 5:30ish this evening, as this quote sums up my week. Let's recap:

• I started a new job
• Rebuilt our closets at the new house (lies that was hubs and my dad, but strategizing on how it went down and making sure they were fed is tough business)
• Ran everyday, twice a day (not because I am crazy but because Jackalope the man needed some attention per his summer solstice)
• Ran one time with my bestie (WEEK HIGHLIGHT)
• Currently someone is rolling down our street blasting Whitney Houston and ooohhh I wanna dance with somebody (If you've ever seen me karaoke this, you know that Ms. Houston should actually pay me royalties...)
• Ate a lot of peanut butter...

Girrllll's a buttah face!

Literally it has been my snack everyday in between lunch and dinner. (I have a jar at my desk, and take a spoonful when no one is watching) Word.  Oh and I have almond butter with my morning protein shake everyday... So if someone would like to calculate the amount of nut butter my body is currently fueled with, I might draw a picture of myself eating nut butter or something real fancy like that....

No but I am not kidding.  It's out of control.

The thing is, it's delicious, I feel as though it's nutritious AND it helps me survive the time between lunch and chowing down dinner time.  (It also helps my brain remember what it's supposed to be doing, no ritalin for this lady).

Not gonna lie, life is grape right now!

Long story long, this week I remained pretty healthy in my eating and worked out a good amount.  I love my job, I am still somehow in balance (this week) amongst the ish going on in my life.  I am also currently obsessed with frozen grapes.  Life is good.  Grape actually!

Bird snacks!  Nom Nom Nom (Warning not for the faint... I.E. those who enjoy fat and taste)

What was missing this week?

• Blog.

My lovely little blog got tooted and booted.  Because I simply did not have the time.  However, I will not make this mistake again my darling, so I hope you consider giving me another shot.  Oh and about the bird food pictured above, it's actually a delicious raw food bar that I picked up at Whole Foods that makes my heart warm.  Hubs thinks it is bird food.

Speaking hubs, one of my besties (hot blonde in the middle with the black dress) Jen Jen, or as my speech impediment ways refer to her as Gin Gin, is getting MARRIED and just had her engagement party last week.  Made me think of a few things:

• I really miss the 3 girls in this photo whom I got to spend too much time with and make a handful of really well thought out decisions with in college
• My own 2 year anniversary with the hubs is on Monday
• I am very blessed with the people in my life and need to make more time for them (just like my blog needs more time)
• I need to go have some wine right now because I am pretty sure this post officially is not following a theme of any kind

OTL practice tomorrow, and trying to stay in balance again in the next week! HAPPY FRIDAY! Bottoms up (bottoms up, up) ... We both know you're dancing right now.... xo

glitter braids and haute geeks

inspired by the following

The other day my best friend cancelled our run together because she had to work late and she had to go to school later. She felt terrible for flaking. I felt terrible that she felt terrible. I told her, "life is not that serious for me to get upset for you being busy and living your life."

Every week there are a few/hundred things that catch my eye and wallet's lust, mini little escapes from reality.

Enjoy the pretty.   Enjoy the moments.  Busy happens, but don't get mad at someone because of it.  Here's what made me happy this week.

Haute geeks.

Romance expressed in fashion.

Glitter. Obviously. Anything that glitters I will probably buy.

Clean book shelves full of the imagination and dreams.

Fish tail braids.

Messy couture braids.

My princess puppy who needs a princess puppy bed.
