So, I’m having my first mini-freak out right now regarding Becks, the new guy I’ve just started seeing.
I’m meeting his parents this weekend!! Um.. yeah! We’ve been seeing each other a whole two weeks!! And not only am I meeting his parents, but I’m meeting his brother, sister, and about 10 of us friends. Talk about intimidating!! =)

I’ll stop being such a dang blog slacker! Live has been crazy busy so it’s hard trying to find time to post. Since I’ve been so busy, I have tons to write about though!!
So I don’t have to worry about having this insanely long post, I’ll keep it short and sweet…
~ Apparently the dating gods are shining on me right now! I’ve met a couple of new guys in the past few weeks that are actually worth dating. There’s one in particular, I’ll call him Becks (he’s a soccer player), that I’ve already seen more than once! And he’s making me dinner this week so that will be three dates (and a group hang out) in a week and half. Not too shabby! I’ve also got a couple of other casual dates lined up in the next couple of weeks.
~ It’s August which means it’s almost… FOOTBALL TIME!! I can not wait for the new Cowboys season! And speaking of football.. Brett Favre is a Jets now?!?! Crazy!
~ Work is kicking my butt lately! I’m so over working my tail off for hardly any return. Thankfully I have some new options that I’m exploring right now! Cross your fingers for me =)
~ I’m planning another mini-vacay soon. I’ve already taken off Friday and Monday.. four day weekend here I come!
~ On a completely unrelated note, I am *completely* obsessed with the new Heidi Newfield Song “Johnny and June”. I listen to it no less than 5 times a day. It’s quite bad! (And by bad.. I mean awesome!)
Hopefully I’ll have some new updates regarding Becks and all other potential boys soon! =)

It’s official, I am a blog slacker! I wish I could blame the lack of posts on an incredibly exciting month… but, I can’t. Since I could probably type a novel since it’s been so long, I’ll post in my favorite style.. bullet style!! =)
~ I went and floated the river with some friends last month. Had a blast! My (male) roommate decided that it would be fun to run around the hotel room (and entire hotel property) naked. Three times! Needless to say, his girlfriend didn’t find it too funny!! And, another thing that only happens to me, my tube got a hole in it while floating down the river. Thankfully I had another tube and was able to switch out mid-river. After I was able to switch tubes, it starts raining on us. Not just a sprinkle… a pouring, lightning crashing and thunder rolling rain. For an hour. Thankfully we are all pretty good natured about random things happening, so it wasn’t too bad!
~ One of my roommates is moving out, and my best friend is moving in at the beginning of August. I’m a little apprehensive of living with my best friend, B. She’s awesome and we’ve been friends for 15 years, but she tends to be a bit of a drama queen. Hopefully it won’t get too bad!
~ Work has been crazy busy lately. It seems like I get more responsibility each week. It’s definitely stressful, but it makes me that much more thankful for the weekends =)
~ I’m about to book my trip to Hawaii next year for my brother’s wedding. I’ll be staying for almost 2 weeks, so that’s going to be a HUGE dent in my credit card. Oh well… it will definitely be worth it!
~ Life in the dating world is still pretty much suck-tastic. I’m crossing my fingers that changes soon… being single at my LITTLE brother’s wedding is not something I’m looking forward to.
Okay, enough catching up. Now I just need to go and catch up on reading blogs, and I’ll be set! (more…)

Wow.. what a weekend! This weekend was jam packed, but it was jam packed with fabulous-ness. (I don’t care if that’s not a real word, I love it!)
Friday night I went with a few of my girlfriends to see Sex and the City. I LOVED IT!! I won’t type too much because I don’t think everyone has seen it yet, but it was awesome. After the movie we went out for a few laughs and then went home and met up with our male roommates. Shockingly they didn’t want to go to the movies with us! =)
Saturday was my mom’s birthday so I woke up early and took her shopping. We went and met up with two of my aunts and went to dinner and to a movie (Sex and the City again.. I’m telling you, I loved it!!), and then had a girls only night at my aunt’s house. It’s so much fun hearing about my mom and my aunts when they were my age. (Well, younger actually. They were all married by the time they were my age!) Then Sunday morning we woke up and soaked up tons of sun at my aunt’s pool. It was a perfect ending to a great weekend!
On a completely unrelated note, I think the universe has a crap sense of humor lately. I’m going through a bit of a dry spell when it comes to dates lately. To add insult to injury, tons of things keep reminding me of my exes lately. I have this one ex, we’ll call him Cowboy, that I keep being reminded of. (He was indeed a cowboy.) I have one very distinct memory of him. One time while we were driving down the road, the song “If Tomorrow Never Comes” by Garth Brooks came on the radio. He turned it up, pulled the truck over, and insisted that we get out and dance to that song. From that moment on, if we ever heard that song we had to stop whatever we were doing and dance to it. Well, I haven’t heard that song in at least 6 months. I’ve heard it at least once a day for the last week and a half. And then earlier today I was at Target on my lunch break and there was a lady there talking to her son. She was getting on to him so she was using both his first and middle name. They happened to also be the first and middle name of Cowboys son. Sadly that is not the only memory I have popping up of old boyfriends. I have been reminded of two other ex’s this last week in some way or another. I haven’t quite figured out why I keep getting reminded of my ex’s, but I’m definitely ready for the memories to stop. Or at least stop flooding me!!
*Sorry, I didn’t mean to go on quite so much on that subject.*
Anywho… Did anyone else see Sex and the City this weekend? What was your favorite part? And does the universe like to mess with you too?

Yeah, yeah.. this is usually a Monday post, but I figure that since today is my work Monday, it can be my blog Monday too. That’s how these things work, right?
Anywho.. on to my top 5 reason’s long weekends rock!!
1.) First and foremost.. an extra day of the weekend. Heck yes!
2.) Driving in the car with my girlfriends singing at the top of our lungs to Backstreet Boys and N’Sync. Flash back to high school for sure!
3.) I spent all weekend in the sun and didn’t get burnt at all. That in itself is quite a feat =)
4.) Good food cooked on the grill all weekend!
5.) And last but not least.. ending my long weekend with the Bachelorette!! Is anyone else watching this season?? I LOVE Brian and Jason.. they’re definitely my early favorites =)
This weekend was a blast.. but my house was definitely in chaos mode. On top of my four roommates, there were three other people staying at our house all weekend. It was great.. but I definitely felt as if I were living in the Real World House. (Which.. is anyone watching anymore? I can’t help it.. I still love this stupid show!!!) By the time everyone left last night, I was so ready for some peace and quiet!
How was your Memorial Day Weekend?
May 22, 2008
So usually I’m not really that interested in who the winner of American Idol is.. but I actually watched this season from start to finish, and I am SO excited about David Cook winning!!!!
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy with a good voice and a guitar, so David Cook just makes me swoon! (Hehe..swoon??) And his eyes.. they are gorgeous!
Not that he needs another reason to be fantastic, but did you see his Guitar Hero commercial? He combined three of my favorite things… a good looking guy, a Risky Business impression, and guitar hero!! I’m in love =)

Even though I just turned 25 in February, I have felt pretty luck that I hadn’t had my own version of a quarter life crisis. Well that luck ended this week!
I’ve been feeling pretty unsatisfied with my job lately. Unsatisfied and horribly burnt out. When I first started with this company two years ago, it was great. Every day was something new, I was never at my desk for more than an hour at a time, and my day flew by. That’s, unfortunately, not the case anymore.
I used to get to work at least 30 minutes early. Now I’m having to force myself to get here on time. I used to stay busy all day long and love my job. Now I’m doing just what I have to, and the day is dragging. I know that property management isn’t what I want to do forever, I’m just not sure what I DO want to do forever!!
I worked in preschool education while in college. I definitely know that I don’t want to be in a classroom all day long, but I can’t help but feel that God is pushing me somewhere in that direction again. I was also looking into getting my wedding coordination license, but do I really want to have to work every single Friday and Saturday? Not particularly.
I’ve always felt that I would love to work with some sort of child-geared non-profit organization. I just have no idea how to get started in that line of work.
As you can see, I’m all over the page right now! Anyone have any suggestions?

My top 5 reasons I’m so over dealing with my friend’s drama.
1.) We are not in high school anymore. We’re not even in college anymore. Just because you dated (or really just slept with) a guy for a month , does not mean that you get to freak out when you see him at the bar with another girl. Yes, that girl is one of our sorority sisters, and yes, she should not have been hiding it from you. But going up to them and 1.) almost slapping her, 2.) telling him that you hope is d*ck rots and falls off, and 3.) then telling them both that they are dead to you is really a bit over dramatic.
2.) Because sometimes I want to talk about what’s going on with me for a change. Just because you have upsetting news, doesn’t mean you can’t be happy for my good news. I have a date!! With a potentially great guy. Deal with your issues and let me be happy about it for 5 minutes.. mkay??
3.) My poor cell phone battery can’t take it. I completely drained my battery Friday night dealing with everyone else’s drama. My battery usually lasts me two days.. minimum! I was dealing with drama three hours away.. that’s ridiculous!
4.) A night out at the bar is supposed to be fun. It should include drinks, flirting with random boys, and maybe some dancing. It should never include anyone causing a scene by crying in the bar.
5.) And finally… My bank account can’t handle it anymore. Because I feel bad for you, I buy you shot after shot to try and at least numb the pain. I spent double on you Friday night than I did myself. NEVER OK!!
I hope everyone’s weekend was a little less drama filled than mine! =)

Why is it that when people find out that my little brother is getting married, they always ask if I’m OK with it?
I’m only 25… I am in no hurry whatsoever to get married. Do I want to? Of course. But when I do get married, I’m only doing it once. So I’m making damn sure that I make the right choice. And my brother, although I support him 100% in his engagement, is only 22 and has only been dating his fiance since last October. People always look at me with such pity when they find out that he’s getting married before me. And then when they find out that I’m the one actually planning the wedding, they are always shocked that “I could handle that”. (Their words.. not mine.)
Also, why do these same people always assume that because I’m not married, or in relationship at the moment, my standards are too high? My mom even accuses me of this at times. I really don’t feel as if I’m asking too much out of a guy. I want a guy who 1.) Has a job, 2.) Understands that respect is the key to any relationship, and 3.) Doesn’t expect me to put out on a first date. Not that I’m saying there’s anything wrong with a bit of fun sex… just don’t expect it of me.
I guess I’m just not much of a casual dater. I like going on first dates well enough. That little flutter of excitement/nervousness is my favorite part of the evening. But if I don’t feel a connection within the first couple of dates, I’m not going to continue dating someone just because. Why waste my time dating someone I see no future with when I could be out meeting new potentials?? That being said.. I am on a bit of a dating drought lately. It’s been a little long since my last first date.. anyone know any potential men?? =)

Well.. my second blog attempt hasn’t been going so great, has it? Oh well. Sometimes you have to fall a little bit to be able to pick yourself back up. Since it’s been so long since I’ve written, today’s post will be in the ever popular bullet style.
~ My brother’s engagement party went really well. Granted, him and his fiance were over FOUR hours late, but that’s OK. They really enjoyed themselves, and so did everyone else.
~ My friend that is having the marital problems.. still having them. Her husband came home a day early and found her asleep on the couch with one of her “guy friends”. Needless to say he was a little angry. He was here for two weeks and things seemed as if they were on the way to getting better. Until he left on Sunday that is. By Tuesday she had that same “friend” over at her house. At this point, I have no desire to talk to her about it at all. We’ve been best friends for almost 15 years now. For me to lose all respect for someone I’ve been so close to for so long has been really hard.
~ On a brighter side, my friends and I have planned a river trip for next month. There’s about 15 of us going down to the Guadalupe River to tube. Good friends, good beer, and good music hours away from all of the drama. I can not wait!
~ I’ve always joked with my friends that I’m the female version of Dane Cook’s character in Good Luck Chuck. Out of all my ex-boyfriends, only one of them isn’t engaged or married. Until today that is. The last single one called me today to tell me that he proposed to his girlfriend. That means every single guy I’ve dated since I was 15 is now engaged or married. And I’m still 100% single. Fun times for me =)
~ Work is going really well. It looks like I’ll be getting more responsibility in the upcoming months. You know what that means.. more money honey!!
That’s all the time I have to post about right now. But I will be back tomorrow for another post. Count on it! =)
