Can I make reservations for a Pity Party for 1 please?
I dont know if this is from having a really crappy weekend with the husband, or being 'that week', or what, to be totally honest..regardless I'm in the crappies of crappy moods in crappyville.
Lately I've been ridiculously hard on myself and feeling like I'm not doing enough. I've been fighting (nothing seriously, yall) non-stop with the husband..and ..and..and...
I'm so ready to have a baby.
I think this is all baby fever and hopefully by the end of the year we will be expecting. But damnit I want it now! I'm so glad I finally sat down and wrote a blog about this. I, now, know 7 people that are pregnant and 5 that have delivered in the past 4 months. I am so ridiculously envious of them. I wish it was us.
I need to snap out of this 'funk' I've been in and get over it. Things happen when they happen and as long as I'm doing the best in all I do, I'm succeeding.
BLAH blah BLAH.
Or maybe I just need a vacation..? :)

Valentine's Day
Its really hard to write about Valentine's Day, when I woke up and our house smells like a dang skunk. SICK! There must be one outside or something..Anyway- moving on..
I usually don't fall into the whole Valentine's day shpeel. This year is different. This year Kyle is actually off and he has been excited about it. We usually do a nice dinner and exchange cards before Valentine's Day (according to his days off) but this year I bought him Call of Duty: Black Ops. He has been wanting it SOOO bad and only plays it when our nephew is over. Now he can play it! I just want a new silver necklace. No crazy thing..just a new everyday wearer. But if he just got me a card, I'd be still excited.

snuggies were made for days like today.
As I'm sitting here trying to play the cool Aunt Shannon card (my nephew has been up over 24 hours. 12 of those hours were playing video games) I was tootin' along on facebook and was just reading statuses. The things that people put amaze me. In the last couple of months I've decided to quit posting all the time. I annoy myself sometimes when I do that. The people who continuely put exactly where they are going are even more annoying. Seriously? You think people care that youre doing X, X, X, X, and then maybe Z? I think facebook (and other social networking sites) have been abused. People stalk each other and get pissed off at what someone else wrote on facebook. Someone tried pulling that crap with me and I told them that if I had ANYTHING to say to them, I would have no issue with telling them straight up. Facebook, and the internet in general, give people the abilitiy to create an alternate persona. What happened to people's personalities? Its like people have to create one in order to get attention or to be 'cool.' So strange to me.
I think this all boils down to..I'm growing up..
Shocker, right there. :)
Heres a little list on things Facebook shouldn't be used for:
1. Talking trash about ANYONE that may be your 'friend.' (and speaking of that..1000+ friends? We both know thats not accurate.)
2. Going in detail about your (on-going) medical condition. Yes, its definitely okay to say "Im in the hospital because.." ...It is not okay to complain about your diarrhea.
3. Countdowns to anything but a wedding/graduations/baby annoy the shit out of me.
4. Repeated song lyrics. We get it, you like the song. When you couldn't even copy and paste it correctly, it loses all merit.
5. Posting family information. IE airing dirty laundry or important information. I don't like finding out people have passed away on freaking line.

2011
Well that whole 30 day thing worked out pretty well, huh? :)
Its my first Saturday at home without having ANYTHING to do. Do you know how great this feels? Its crazy that over the last 5 years I have turned into a homebody. I used to hate that people did that. It meant they wouldn't come out with me...but now I'm that person. That goes to prove my theory on people's pet-peeves are most likely something they do themselves. In the last month, two wonderful friends moved away (half of my good, go-to friends, mind you), we entered into 2011, Christmas, we went to Dallas, I got a terrible tooth ache, and I got a new laptop. The good with the bad I guess.
I would've loved to say I got a new tattoo in there but my husband won't let me. ha! And Im perfectly okay with that. I wouldn't want him coming home with something crazy like a black panther on his chest. Okay..I wont lie, I'd think thats pretty awesome.
So here we are in 2011...
What do I want to accomplish in 2011? I don't particulary like setting "resolutions" though we do at my husband's parent's house every year and put them in a box we cannot open until the following year. But I prefer to ask myself what I'd like to challenge myself to do. Here's a few things I came up with.
- Raise my GPA to over a 3.1
- Run at least 2 5ks
- Gain some more self confidence
- Cut back my intake of Diet Coke.
These are things that are realistic yet something I need to and WANT to do. I'm doing my first 5k of the year in March. Its the Warrior Dash. Looks like a blasty. Its got beer at the end....you know I'm in!!:)
My GPA has been shot since the semester before we got married. My grandma was sick, I got pnuemonia, and uhhhhhhh we were planning a wedding. It was a little hard to stay in the game.
This self confidence thing.. geez. Where do I begin? I used to ooooze self confidence. I think ever since I gained a few pounds and moved here (4 years ago) and did not have any friends....it took a hit. Its been hard to gain it back. I'm back in the gym, but for myself this time. I have a hard yet easy to stick to regimend now so lets see what happens.
As for Diet Coke.. I'm pretty sure I've funded many employee's salaries with how much I drink it. I know I don't drink it as much as some. My inlaws specifically, but I do drink my fair share and I'd love to switch to mostly water.
I'll definitely be checking back in on these, for sure this time.
I hope everyone had a great new years and here we go! Onward and upwards!

day 3
Day 03 → Something you have to forgive yourself for.
Lets see..Theres a lot I'd like to forgive myself for...I think the lousiest thing I've ever done was write my Grandma a letter after I graduated high school. I didn't even get a card or a call or anything from her. I was so upset. It was totally unlike her and not in her character. She was one of those people that would send a card and it'd be at the destination WITHOUT FAIL on the day it was supposed to be delivered. I wrote this letter out of anger and hurt and it all honesty I sent it to the wrong person. I should've sent it to my father, which is really who I was mad at. My grandma wrote me back and sent a $100 check and told me that she had colon cancer and had been going through chemo and radiation. To this day, that is the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I was young and stupid but I just can't get over the fact that I did that.

Day 2
Since its past midnight now, I'll do day 2. :)
Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.
I love the fact that I love to put others first. Not to a fault or anything, but I love doing for others if I can.

Day 1
Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
I hate that I'm always anxious about everything. I used to not be this way, but the older I get the worse it gets. Its not dibiliating by any means, but it is definitely a pain in the ass. I finally talked to my doctor about it and she prescribed me an antidepressant..but I only sold it to me as a 'mood stabilizer'..After reading more about it, the side effects were worse than the symptoms. Blah!
