Come ooonnnnn Summer!!!

What's a girl gotta do around here to get some lake weather?! I've waited long enough!

I want warm, sunny weather pronto. And a boat. And a six-pack (referring to both abs and beverages).

Pretty sure I've been patient long enough. It's time.



On a side note, I went to my running clinic again yesterday and we ran 7 minutes and walked 3. That means I did about 4 miles, running 3 and walked 1. Not bad for a beginner! Pretty proud of myself. And I don't hate it anymore, which is also a huge accomplishment.

Okay, I think that's all I've got right now. Happy Tuesday!

Poor Gina...

So lately I've been having a lot of problems with Gina. {Just in case anybody doesn't know, Gina is my Jeep. She has been with me since my sophomore year of college and I talk about her like she's a person. That may be weird, but whatever.} We spent over $1000 on her in a month last month and that is just unacceptable. She was in the shop 3 times, and every time I would go pick her back up the check-engine light would come back on within 24 hours. {We even checked to see if there was short in the check-engine light, hoping that little light didn't mean something was really wrong every time. The light was fine.}

She has almost 99,000 miles on her so I guess it's time for her to start slowing down. She has been such a good car until 97,000 hit. That's when she start going downhill. Poor thing.

But, there's comes a point when you have to let go. She's been fabulous, but she's causing so many problems right now. So, I'm on the search for a new car.

This week I've narrowed it down to two...

I've always loved 4Runners. Especially the newer ones. And I have loved having an SUV these past years. This is pretty much the exact one I had in my head.



I've also been looking into the new Honda Accords. They are SO nice inside, and they look sleek and classy on the outside.





So those are what I'm trying to decide between. They are both nice, but very different. Whatever one I pick, it's going to be white with tan interior.

I just love this process! So exciting!

Happy Hump Day!

Story of my life...

So if I had to give someone a snapshot of my daily life, I would tell them this story...

So I've gone to the same hair lady for about 4 years now. She's wonderful. She always gets me in when I need her to and she always (well almost always) makes my hair look exactly like I want it. She really knows what she is doing. Love, love, love her.

Buuuutttt, my mom's friend's partner (sorry, that's confusing) is a hair dresser in Conway. He used to work on the set of "What Not to Wear"! He used to do Stacey and Clinton's hair! How cool is that?! He's so funny. He's an extremely flamboyant gay guy. Like the first time I met him he was dancing around singing Aretha Franklin. So fun. So my mom and I have decided to try him out.

I started to feel super guilty though. I felt like I was cheating on my hair lady. I felt like I should send her a text saying, "It's not you, it's me." That kind of feeling.

But I decided that I was just give this new guy a chance and my mom called Wednesday night and got us an appointment for Saturday. I also went to get sushi with my mom on Wednesday night.

Guess who we ran into... My freaking hair lady!!!!

Are ya kiddin' me?! So awkward!

AND apparently I had an appointment scheduled with her this weekend! What are the odds of that?! Seriously?! I stammered around trying to come up with an excuse of why I couldn't be there this Saturday. She probably thinks I've developed a stutter. I didn't recover well.

I just know God was sitting up there just chuckling away. There's no way He doesnt' get a kick out of my life. This kind of stuff ALWAYS happens to me. FML.

Seriously, reality show anyone?
