What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday! Well.. it's almost Thursday now, but that's not the point!

I'm linking up with Jamie again, and this is what I'm loving this week:

I'm Loving... Nail polish. I haven't been painting my nails as often as I used to.. But I've been bored at work,so I've been painting them daily almost. I like funky colors and I love BRIGHT colors. Brightens my day :)

I'm Loving... Pinterest. There are so many cute ideas on there and I'm especially loving the inspiring words that I have found on there. I'm in love <3

I'm Loving... Teen Mom. I'm seriously addicted to that show. I don't really watch much tv anymore, but make sure to record Teen Mom. Amber annoys the hell out of me though.. other than that I love it. There are some good mothers on that show. And Caitlyn's story is especially special.My mom gave my sister up for adoption when she (my mom) was 18 and the family who raised her is amazing.

I'm Loving... That I was able to go to church last Sunday for the first time in 8 weeks. For me that's a long time.. I usually go EVERY Sunday. So it made me happy :)

I'm Loving... life. God is good, life is good, I'm good.

True Confessions




I'm linking up with Clarissa again for some more deep (probably not) confessions..

I confess that I've been doing more link-ups lately than actual blogging. Not cool on my part. I just haven't had much to talk about lately. I need to be inspired.

I confess that if I could move to Florida tomorrow, I wouldn't hesitate.

I confess that I made way too many videos of my brother and I playing Rock Band when I went to visit him Thursday-Saturday. I also confess that rocking the microphone and getting 100% on some songs on expert gave me this weird sense of awesomeness. Yes, I am awesome, but the fact that Rock Band made me feel awesome is a LITTLE lame.

I confess that I secretly can't wait for Jersey Shore to come back on. Call me crazy, but it's just so entertaining. I'm addicted. And Vinny is definitely some good eye candy ;)

Image

I confess that I have done absolutely nothing today on my day off, and I'm perfectly okay with that!

Eight-Legged-Freaks

I hate spiders. Surprising, right? I'm the only girl in the history of the world who is terrified of spiders... If you haven't caught on to the sarcasm yet, then I give up.

There are three stages of my fear, and they usually depend on how close the spider is to me. Oddly enough, the closer the spider is to me, the more my fear intensifies.

Stage one: "Oh, there is a spider on the wall/ceiling/floor across the room.. Scary but I'll just keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't sneak up on me." Or I find the nearest shoe.. And well.. We all know what happens.

Stage two: "That spider is way too freaking close but I'm too afraid to do anything for fear of it jumping on me." This actually recently happened to me... In my car... While I was driving. I was leaning as far as possible to my right to get away from it. Then it disappeared and I freaked out when my lanyard touched my leg. Needless to say, this stage gets the heart racing.

Stage three: "It's on me!!! OMG IM GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Which is obviously followed by dancing around like a crazy person, hitting myself and screaming like a little girl. It has happened before... And it has also happened when I mistook a fuzzy on my shoulder for a spider. I just never told anybody that there was no spider.

The only other bug that freaks me out MORE than spiders are moths. Don't even get me started on moths. That's an entirely different post for another day.

First Impressions

First impressions are really important. If you're a human being, you know this to be true.

My first impression of my oldest friend (Alicia) was that she was weird. She was weird, but if I hadn't looked past my first impression of her, we wouldn't be friends now. I remember her talking to me on the school bus in 7th grade, telling me about her gummy bear vitamins. I was way too cool to talk about vitamins, but I gave her a chance and we've been friends ever since.

My first impression of my best friend (Kelly) was that she was a total snob. I didn't really like her at first, and I thought she was really stuck up. I ended up hanging out with her a lot because I was on the worship team at my church and her husband was the worship leader and she was also on the team. I got past my first impression of her and she turned out to be the complete opposite of what I thought. She's so down to earth and one of the funniest people I know. We finish each others sentences and make the same random noises at random times. If wouldn't have let go of my first impression, we wouldn't have the friendship we have now, and that would be a shame.

There is a girl I work with named Courtney. We got off on the wrong foot when she gave me attitude one day for sitting at her desk (where I was told to sit). I immediately didn't like her and had a bad attitude about it the whole time. There are few people that I don't like enough to have an actual attitude with them, but she was one of them. She just rubbed me the wrong way. Today (after 2 months) I let it go. I asked her about her upcoming wedding, and we talked about the ducks (I noticed she had an O sticker on her car). Towards the end of my shift she was complaining about pain in her abdomen and because I'm going to school to be a nurse and it's my passion, I was trying to figure out what was wrong with her. We connected today, and I'm glad that I let go of my first impression of her, even if it did take me two months. Sometimes that's the first step to a beautiful friendship.

We will see.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

It's Wednesday, so that means I'm linking up with Jamie again!

Here is what I'm loving on this beautiful (HOT) Wednesday :)

I'm Loving... that I was able to spend 5 days straight outside after spending so many days inside because of work. My skin isn't so excited though, because I.AM.BURNT! 

I'm Loving... that in my line of work, I can have a REALLY crappy day (which  I did last Wednesday) and the next time I work, I get a whole new set of people, and I don't have to deal with the same grumps over and over again.

I'm Loving... That I'm off tomorrow and I get to spend the day at the pool! First time this summer!

I'm Loving... That my vacation was just what the doctor ordered.

I'm Loving... when people I'm talking too at work assume I'll be at the hotel when they get there. I had to tell someone last night that I was at a call center in Oregon, and his hotel was in Tennessee.. he actually said "Well that's disappointing, I was looking forward to meeting the woman behind the nice voice." It's always nice to hear that you have a nice voice. Even if the the guy does have a 16 year old daughter.

I'm Loving... the pictures from my vacation! I'll be posting them a little later on!

I'm Loving... That I serve a God who loves me no matter what. I don't have to pass tests with Him. I just have to love Him with everything that I am.. and that's easy to do!

I'm Loving... ALOE VERA!

What are you loving today?
