beach bound!

i have been dreaming of getting through this week. it would definitely be dreamier if i had off tomorrow. but i don't. tis' life. however, a few of my co-workers and i did decide to make tomorrow a dress down day. unofficial. oops. we're bad. but we like it that way. our boss won't be there. so it's completely acceptable. RIGHT? we think so.

i'll probs wear something red, white and blue. because i'm all sorts of patriotic like that. fo'realz. i have a major love affair with america.

besides wearing my patriotism on my sleeve, tomorrow will most likely suck at work. and i'm not really really looking forward to it. i am looking forward to the end of my work day. since that means i'll be hitting the road and heading to the beach. yuppp. bring.it.on. i am so ready. ash and i will be shaking a tail feather right out of pennsylvania. NBD.

anywhos! here are my tips for getting through a crazy work week before a holiday weekend:

1. drink a butt load of fluids. also eat a self-made eggie sandwich. leave it in your ziplock back and let it get superrrrr soggy. #fail


2. a few short hours later, enjoy a tasty iced coffee. c/o of my co-worker. keep drinking water and munch on some pub mix. #win


3. eat free veggie pizza.


4. go to the zoo even though you really dislike the zoo.


5. be completely okay with your decision to go to the zoo because of these sunny faces:


6. wait in traffic on the way home and have great conversation with the peeps inside your car.


7. giggle at the sweaty babe in your backseat.


8. eat a heath bar blizzard.


9. be freaked out by the mold that was growing in your starbucks to go cup, yet drink from it anyway.


10. eat really yummy dinners. burgers, pickles, mcdonalds chicken nuggets, fries, honey mustard. i think that all sounds fineeeee.


and then seriously! before you know it, voila! it's thursday night.

what's going on with YOU for memorial day? bbq's? swimming pools? splashing in the waves?

to get you in the spirit of warm weather and memorial day...feast your eyes on these!

what my weekend consisted of.

i can't tell you how many times, maybe because it's too many to count, that i've told myself i'm going to be a consistent blogger. but then the days come and the days go and my empty blogging canvas stays, well, empty.

it's probs just because i'm way too busy doing nothing. like lounging around on the couch, slummin' it in my pj's for hours, pretending to be doing real life things but not really doing real life things at all.

like this weekend for instance. i'd be lying if i said i was super duper bummed when my plans for saturday got canceled. because truthfully, i wasn't. i would have gone out, dressed like a human, worn make-up, smiled and had a killer time. that i am sure of. but sometimes, most times, i enjoy doing nothing on the weekends. call me crazy. call me lame. call me an old 26 year old. i've heard it allll before.

i.

am.

okay.

with.

that.

friday i woke up at 5:30 with serious exhaustion. i wanted no part of waking up and going to work. but i did. because apparently that's what adults do.

friday must-haves!
-water
-large cinnamon coffee/cream/sugar
-quaker oat squares

for lunch a few of my co-workers and i decided on cosi. i'd never object to cosi! even if i am trying to be on a diet. {let's just say...it ain't going to hot.}

i ordered the bacon turkey cheddar melt.
i loved every bite!
it had tomato and spicy mustard.
fo'realz one of my fave choices on the menu.

also, all day on friday i stared at this beauty:

NBD.
that's just martin at dollar dog night.
in a hot dog hat.
coool, right?

dinner was pizza with a side of mario cart. as well as being in bed and asleep by midnight. i likey.

saturday i woke up and ate a toasted bagel with veggie cream cheese. c/o the bagel shop.

i promise, there is cream cheese on that bagel.
i just like a v.v.v.very teeny amount.

i hung out with this kiddo.

and ate an awesome sandwich for dinner.


the day was completed with catching up on my dvr and falling asleep relatively early.

sunday, i sat this book next to me all day. i acted like i was going to read it. i really faked myself out a few times. but to no avail, it didn't happen. i watched more tv. i watched my dad garden. i watched my neighbor mow the grass. i watched my eyelids. and then i drank a beer and ate a hot dog and hamburger, chips and corn on the cob.

bbq's are my fave.
i felt really stuff after consuming all of this.
but it tasted so dang good.

monday was nothing short of amazing.

brownies with peanut butter icing.

coffee.
mmmhmmm.

not to mention these really, really, really cute faces...

tuesday {today} was delicious.

thanks to this tasty apple cake a patient made our office.

thanks to starbucks black iced tea.

and thanks to dinner.

this...

plus this...

plus this...

equals this...

heaven in my mouth!

hot and dangerous.

what exactly does one talk about when they've been gone for so long? simply put: i really haven't had a whole lot to say so i've kept my trap shut and my fingers at a pause.

it's tough to just dive back in. it's like, eh, what the heck should i even talk about?

should i mention that i still don't understand how the heck to post side-by-side pictures without the html going all screwy. it bugs the crap out of me. i pull my hair out over this issue. help me. someone? please?

i guess i could gush on and on and on about the adorable munchies that fill my life. i've done it once, i can do it again.


i could definitely fill pages with all the coffee i drink. i don't know what i'd say about it, though. 'cept that i'm hooked on the bean and have dreams about floating down a magic puddle of coffee. think: the scene of augustus gloop floating down the chocolate stream. {minus the giant blueberry girl and veruca 'i want more' salt}


i suppose i could stir up some chatter about going to see mary poppins at the academy of music with my mama. i could talk about how incredible our seats were. {GASP, THEY WERE AWESOME!} i could talk about the beautiful building and chandelier. i could talk about how the entire time i was watching, all i could think about was being a performer. i'd make a stellar mary poppins! i could also talk about how stoked i was to wear my yellow tights to the show.

i will NOT talk about how disgustingly dusty that mirror is, however.
bleh.

chick-fil-a is ALWAYS something i could discuss. like how tasty it is. and how their chicken sandwiches make me smile.


mmm, i could mention how i interviewed for an awesome job in new york and how i thought it went really, really, really well and how i thought for sure i had it and then i never heard anything back. on second thought, i think i won't talk about that. :(


i could talk about the deliciousness of this lemon cake my boss made. nom, nom, nom.


i suppose i could whimper about the flyers getting booted out of the playoffs in just four short games.

that is martin sporting his flyers jersey.

i'm sure you'd all get a hoot if i talked about my dad doing some late night stomping around the yard in his weird grass shoes. those things taped to the bottom of my dad's sneaks have sharp spikes on them. they are supposed to fertilize the grass.


i could fo'sho' talk about all the lip smacking good food i have eaten. and really good tasting beer i have been drinking. but that makes me sound like a. a fatty and b. a drunk. and since i am neither, {har har} i'll skip talking about both.


instead, i think i'll just talk about how excited i am another week has come and gone. friday is my favorite. except last friday. i was deathly ill. i went into work at 6:30 and didn't make it until 7. i threw up in the back room and was sent home. naturally. i felt like i tossed up all my insides. it was horrible. i was ecstatic when i finally got my appetite back. a black and white milkshake was all i had on my mind. i don't think one of those have ever tasted so good. by golly, it was fantastic. so yeah, this friday will be soooo much better. sushi for lunch and chillaxing all cool during the evening. oh my, i'm excited.

let's talk about YOUR weekend. what are you doing, love nuggets??
