I want CAKE

These are some pictures of cakes I really like.  The one that is blue and brown, I would probably make green background with white decoration.

I also like the white cake with the green decorations...

Wedding Ideas

So these are all of the hair ideas that I like.  I know I want my hair up, I don't even keep it down in my everyday life, so how could I manage that at a wedding.  I have a veil and a very pretty headband and was thinking I could work it in to one of these styles.  What do you think?

On the Road Again

Today is Saturday, but for me its a Sunday.  I have what you call SNS or Sunday night syndrome.  I get it every night before I have to leave for another work trip.  No matter how often I travel, I just cannot seem to get used to it.  I try to be happy about it, and understand that it is my job, but it is just so hard to do.  I do love my job, and enjoy the work, I just hate being away from home.  Lately I have made a huge effort to be happier, and it takes a lot out of me!  I am hoping that I don't get stranded anywhere on this trip...but who knows?  Going to Petoskey, Michigan seems to up the stakes on getting stuck especially with a three leg flight to get there!  I do love the cold weather, but I do not love driving in the snow!  I hate that I have to leave on a Sunday, I mean...I am not getting paid enough to have my weekend cut short.  I need my weekends to relax and reconnect with Matt and have enough time for friends.  I also need weekends to tackle the mountains of laundry that seem to be piling up to larger heights more and more frequently.  At least all of the hotels I am staying at have gyms, so I can work out some of my loneliness there.  

Enough of the dreading of tomorrow!  I had a wonderful time at an old friend's house last night and it was nice to meet some new people.  Matt and I are definitely getting along better and we are on the same page finally.  I want to get a friend for my puppy Ty, but I am not home enough to validate adding on a family member.  I actually felt happy for the first time in a long time yesterday, and didn't even think about my fatness (or my insecurities...not that I am fat, but I always just think I am)   There is a lot to be said about mind over matter...and my desire to be happy is so strong that I think it may be working (slowly and bit by bit...but working nonetheless!)

Ciao!

Home Sweet Home

I am back home after a very very long one day trip.  The site I visited as a mess, and I am not even sure if I got everything done that I needed too...totally stressful.  However, when I got home my wonderful man had cooked a candelight dinner, wine included.  How wonderful is that to come home to?  I should really do some work right now, but I just want to relax...honestly I am not being paid enough to work this much!  At least I home for a day before I head out on another visit.  I have to go to Wisconsin, and I am not pumped about that trip.  The week after I have to go to Petsokey, Michigan, and the flight to get there is three legs minimum, and I don't get home until Thursday night, yuck! I love spending time at home, and I am not doing enough of that these days.  I want to get on a workout routine, but it is so hard being all over the place.

Anyway, time to spend time with my sweetie and my puppy!

Go Redskins!

Yet another Sunday is here.  I am honestly surprised to admit that I am sad that football season is coming to a close.  As the season began, I was unsure of how the skins would do.  I have to admit that I am a newer fan and it started with my fiancee's Chris Cooley jersey.  On one of our first dates, I went over to his place to watch a football game.  I freaked out because I thought that he was wearing a jersey with my last name...STALKER!  But no, it was Cooley #47, now my favorite football player ever.  He has been on my fantasy team two years in a row!  Now I am a Redskins fan for life, there is just something about that team that is hard not to love.  Living in Texas makes it even a little more fun to be against the Cowboys...and it is so easy to hate them, especially Romo.  I love seeing them lose!  

Besides football today, I finally got to do some pilates and have lunch with S.  I hate when I don't know what to say or do to make things better.  I can't even imagine being in a situation as awful as she is in now, and it breaks my heart.  I am surprised at how well she seems to be doing, but she is such a strong woman!  I love her to death, and hopefully her knowing that makes things just a little bit better.

I am not looking forward to traveling tomorrow.  I am getting quite sick of all of this away from home time.  I am also not looking forward to traveling into the snowy, cold weather!  I cannot wait to get to work with one of my old co-workers, that is something that I am looking forward to!  

Time to do some laundry and clean! 

Merry Christmas

So Matt and I went out and bought our very first Christmas tree.  I guess I am not very picky, so we got the second one we looked at.  We got everything we needed, but I have one question to ask: Why don't they include the hooks with the ornaments?  I mean, what do they think I am going to do with them?  

Now I have to go to target and face the idiotic crowds to get ornament hooks!  So I know I hated the matching velour sweatsuits...but I have been wearing these matching sweats every day and they are so comfortable...I can't help it, I just love them!  

We also took Ty to get a picture taken with Santa at Petco, but the Santa there totally freaked me out, so we just left...woops!  I cannot wait until we can get a doggy friend for Ty.  He loves other dogs, and it would make me much much happier when we left him home if he had someone to play with!  

Merry Christmas!

New Start

How exciting! A new blog:) So I am determined to be a happier person, and I find that writing helps with that. Lately I have been traveling non-stop, and have let some friendships and my relationships slip, I hate that about myself! I have also let my health go a bit, and haven't been working out or eating healthy regularly!
So Happy Times are ahead for me.
