It's OK Thursday!!

Happy Friday Eve!!  Since nothing is going on in the world of Laura.  I have been really boring and cold lately (sorry y'all) I am going to be linking up with Amber and Neely and Amber with "Its OK Thursdays"

Its Ok…

… to be excited that New Kids on the Block (with Boys to Men and 98*) are touring again. NKYOB was my first concert in ’89 with Tiffany.  My poor dad took me to that concert for my birthday with two other girls when we were in Kindergarten.  I am sure that is what started his hearing loss. 

… to dream about having a housekeeper when cleaning your house and living in about 1500 square feel alone.  I am not sure how I make such a big mess all the time.  And yes, I would love mints on the pillow and a turn down service around 8:30-9:00pm.

… that I sometimes get frustrated with my friends.  

… to sing as loud as you can at home when cooking.

… to ask why your milkshake doesn’t bring the boys to the yard anymore

… when a man looks your way and smiled to think “yes, Laura’s still got it!"  (Yes, I told Bryan about my run in at Subway... he just laughed)

… to cry or get teary-eyed when they show some of the background stories on American Idol.

… to want a dog and deep down inside know you will probably never have one.   I think I should just stick with fish

… to fall in love with a purse and hope and pray to get it for valentine’s day

What are you "Ok" with this Thursday.  

TGIF and I can't wait to have a nice slow weekend with Bryan!

Happies & Crappies #1

I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs and came across a new link up called Happies & Crappies put on by The Vintage Modern Wife.  This is the first week of this link-up and I am so excited that I found it and hope that every one goes and links up!  And lets be honest. the button is wicked cute and totally caught my attention because of the glitter!!

Happies!

1.  Bryan got his new car last week!!  Sally the Sorento is officially the newest member to the household.  I was so worried that things were going to take forever (you know how car shopping is), but it didn't and I would go back and highly recommend Bulldog Kia in Athens, GA. They made purchasing the car easy and I LOVE easy!
2. The cold weather.  Now I know that most southern girls complain about the cold weather.  I am not a HUGE fan of the colder weather, but living on the lake we always need a few good colf freezes to kill off the mosiquot's.   I will take a few nights of cold for less bugs over the summer any time
3. The Amy Winehouse Pandora Station:  It made me fall back in love with her all over again.  Another life lost to soon.  
4. Pitch Perfect!!  If you have not see this movie go and redbox it!  It is crazy funny!  Get your girlfriends together, sing and laugh the whole movie.
5. Justin Timberlake's newest song!  So so so happy he is finally going to bring sexy back and release new music!

 Crappies!

1. Negative People:  I am so sick of people complaining about how "hard" they have it!!  Do something (like get a real job) instead of sitting at home watching soap operas, tweeting and complaining about being broke!
2. The flu/cold or whatever is going around and work.  I am by far not a germ-a-phob and I do not believe in getting shots for the flu so I am hoping that I am not going to get what is passing around
3. Not working for a bank and or having a government job.  Mostly because I do not want to go to work on Monday and all my friends are off because of the MLK day holiday.  

Hope everyone is having a good weekend even though it is flying by (like always).  Don't forget to link up and I can't wait to read what everyone's Happies & Crappies are!!

Music Monday - Over You

Good Evening,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I think I am finally over my cold/cough that I've had since the Holidays.  I watched 4 movies and a lot of football over the weekend.  It was the most relaxing weekend I have had in a very long time.  It was exactly what I needed.

This afternoon while cruising the blogs I found a new link-up with Angie for Monday.  I am very excited about this link-up because I LOVE music.  I like this link-up so that maybe I can find some new music that I may of never been able to find myself.

This week the song that I can not get over is Miranda Lambert's "Over You".  

Weather man said it’s gonna snow

By now I should be used to the cold

Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary

It was only December

I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place

I think of you, and I’m not afraid

Your favorite records make me feel better

Cause you sing along

With every song

I know you didn’t mean to give them to me

But you went away

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone

Cause you went away,

How dare you?

I miss you

They say I’ll be OK

But I’m not going to ever get over you

I know that this song has been out for a while.  But I did some research about the song and it was written by her husband Blake Shelton about when he lost his brother.  The first time hearing this song I thought that it was about a break-up, but now knowing why it was written, it makes me think of my grandmother and also a friend of mine that I lost in high school.  The last few weeks every time I hear this song, I have to turn it up, sit back, listen and usually let the tears fall down my cheek's.  

What song's are you listening to this week.  Link up with Angie and let her and I (her newest follower) know!  

Hope everyone had a weekend!

Its OK Thursdays

This Thursday I am linking up with Neely and Amber, with their "It's OK" Thursdays.  Hope everyone's week isn't going as cra-cra as mine is, because; Holy Crap! I am so happy that today is Thursday! This has been the weeks or weeks! We have been crazy busy at work with the beginning of the year orders. Personal life has been a little hectic too. Bryan's truck more or less died on us last night so we are going to be buying a new car tonight (hopefully, it has to happen today or tomorrow).

 

 

Here goes nothing!

 

It's Ok...

 

To go home and cry after a long day of work (this was my first time in 4 years with this ever happening to me)

To be scared to make a huge purchase, like a car

To want to have some "alone time" after the wicked crazy holiday rush

To over think things!!

To not BELIEVE in the flu shot!!! 

To keep secrets about yourself....

To not be in a rush to get married and or have kids, everyone has a different path in life!!

To dream in color!

To sing really loud at work when no one is here

To still go on daddy-daughter dated when your 29 years old

To be heartbroken from losing an important and significant piece of jewelry.

To send hint's for valentine days presents

 

Happy Friday Eve to you all and please keep good  thoughts about B and I this evening when were at the car dealership and the new car (still not going to curse us on what we want and hope to get) works out!

10 on Tuesday

Good Afternoon!  This Tuesday I am linking up with Linny's Vault's for 10 on Tuesday. It's been a Pandora/semi-slow day at work so here goes nothing!

1.  Pretty Little Liars is back!!!

2.  My new I-phone and case. I finally joined the cool kid club

3.  Emailing Kelly.  I am glad that we have modern forms of communication between us.

4.  It's official next week I will be starting couch to 5k.  (If anyone knows a good app on the Iphone please let me know!!!)

5.  Today's Country and Angie Aparo station on Pandora.  I could go all day listening those stations.

6.  This morning I found my college old favorite pair of earrings.  I thought I lost them in the lake a few summer ago.  Low and behold they were in the box where they should of been.   (my mom would of be proud I put something back where it belongs)

7.   Jolly M-F'ing Ranchers!!  I am addicted! 

8.  Kimya's baby.  (rant please watch out)  I am so sick and tired of hearing about this baby!  I will admit I do watch Keeping up with the Kardashians when its on re-run or its a slow weekend on TV.  But I feel so bad for Khloe.  She is the only one of the three older sisters that "did it right" (got married first) and she can not get preggers.  God sometimes has some serious plans for people.  

9.  Knowing that I get to see my BFF Rose this weekend makes me happy

10.  Miranda Lambert "Mama's broken heart" I wish I had heard this song about a year ago.  It would of been my theme song for a certain person.  - (There is no official video, but I love the song!!)

Hope everyone enjoys my 10 on Tuesday.  What are your favorite things that are going on this week??

Out with the OLD and in with the....

2013... dang where has the time gone.  I mean your only 7 days old and I still am procrastinating on a "New Years Resolution" (which I have never ever ever stuck too)!  I guess that this year will be the year of the procrastinator in me or will it be the year of sticking and holding onto the old.  I know that most people like to think... A NEW YEAR A NEW ME.  But what if you loved everything that has happen or you have done the past year?!?

As I sit here thinking about all the what ifs that may happen this year.  Then I think about all the wonderful things that happen in 2012 and I realize that 2012 was a AWESOME year!  There were some highlights (my birthday weekend, football season, summer by the lake) and of course some rock bottom times (especially when my grandmother died) but a lot more highs then lows! Bryan and I's relationship is stronger then ever.  I have the best friends a girl can have.  I am so happy with my job.  I think I have a pretty damn good life (in my opinion).  I don't think that I want the old to leave; I want it to stick with me for the next few forever's! 

 I know that there are a few things that I need to work on this year which include:

1. Eating Right (always)
2. Exercise More (isn't it normal to put this as a resolution)
3. Stay in touch (not just stalking them on facebook) with friends and family
4. Try and experience new things
5. Be open to those who want to help with the little things aka don't be so hard-headed!
6.  Be open to meeting new people
7. Trying to update my blog a lot more (at lease 3 times a week) 

But doesn't every one think they need to work out more or eat better!?!?  If I can attempt to stick with those 7 things I think 2013 will be a little more exciting and a lot more open to new adventures!

I'm ready to plan some adventures for 2013!!  Hopefully New Orleans is on the radar for November!  Is there anything that you are looking forward to doing this year?!?!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful first full week of 2013 and had a wonderful (late) Holiday Season
