Confessions

I have been contemplating writing this post all morning. I have even started it a couple of times then hit delete cause it wasnt going in the direction I wanted it to.

I think after the first of the year I am going to delete my blog. Over the past few months I have read alot of great blogs and the girls behind them take up alot of time and patience with their blogs. I do not have a computer at home and do all my blogging at work.

i feel like my blog is plain and boring. I dont have alot of fun stuff and hardly ever take pictures. I feel like nobody really can get interested in my blog.

I confess that I started my blog cause I fell in love with reading blogs and wanted to become friends with a bunch of the girls. I know that wasnt a good reason to start a blog but I thought the blog world was a good way to meet some new friends.

I have enjoyed the blog world alot and have had the pleasure of talking to some girls and also the blog world has helped teach me abunch and I will prob continue to read the blogs I follow. Just think its pointless to have my own blog.

Anyway just wanted my few readers to know what I was feeling today. I am going to think on it this weekend. I will def let yall know what I decide.

Christmas Recap!!!

Well hello ladies!!!! I feel like I am still in Christmas mode. I hate how ever year it seems like it takes forever for Christmas to get here but dang it it is gone in a flash.

A few post back I talked about how I dreaded the holidays and how I have ever since my parents got divorced. Well ladies that changed this year thanks to my wonderful boyfriend. I had the BEST Christmas ever!!!! And YEPPERS I am here to brag all about it.

So lets go back to last Friday shall we. OK!! I had to come in to work that morning BOOOO!!! but thankfully I only had to work til dinner YAY!!! Well at 12 I left work and went to my best friend/ex roomate Jacob's house and had Christmas with him. He grilled some chicken and we had corn and baked potato. The food was delicious and I ate everything that was on my plate. After eating we exchanged gifts!!!! He did so good this year. He got me a karaokee machine. So much fun!!! He also got me 3 karaokee cds ( Carrie Underwood, Elvis, & Zac Brown Band) which happened to be 3 of my fav artists. I got him two & a half men season 8 dvd, smashing pumpkins boxset, and a framed picture of me, him, and Lizzie. After opening gifts we acourse played with the karaoke machine for like 3 hours hahaha our throats were sore when we got done. Around 4 I said goodbye to Jacob and headed home.

Around 6 Friday night Jeremy and I headed to his parents house. I am not sure if I previously mentioned but Jeremy's parents only live like 4 minutes if that far from our house so we get to spend alot of time with them. So back on track, we went to Jeremy's parents and his sister and nephew were there also. We all ate chili and hot dogs and then we all loaded up and rode around and looked at all of the Christmas lights. It was so much fun just hanging out and laughing. It was close to 8:30 that we all decided to go home. Jeremy and I got home and was so excited cuase we were doing our stockings and Lizzies stocking Saturday morning. So we were in the bed by 9:30.

Saturday morning we got up at 6 in the MORNING!!! Why?? Cause we were so excited about doing our stockings hahaha. Lizzie was so funny she didnt know what to think about all of her new toys. After we opened out stockings I fixed breakfast and coffee and we both got on the couches and watched the movie Soul Surfer. OMG such a good movie and a tear jerker. We both cried!!! Yes you read that right even Jeremy shed a few tears. Around 9 I got up and started getting ready for my family to arrive. I had decided to have Christmas with them at my house and I have no idea why. Around 11 my sister and nephew arrived, my brother in law was at work, acourse my nephew tortured Lizzie til she peed all over herself and we had to go put her up. I got aggravated cause my sister wouldnt make my nephew act right. When my mom and stepdad got there we all sat around the table and ate. Acourse my sister and mom and biggered and argued back and forth the ENTIRE time. We opened gifts and my mom and stepdad got me and Jeremy a WII!!!! YIPEE!!! we were so excited cause we had already decidded that after the first of the year we wanted to get one. Acourse we got other stuff from them to. They really did way to much for us but we loved everything.

Around 3, my family left which I dont think I could have taken much more of my sister and mom argueing back and forth. Jeremy and I cleaned up and headed to his sister around four. We had Christmas with Jeremy's dad side of the family. It was a good time for the most part acourse ever family had its dysfunctional members. Jeremy's grandmother sat by me and told me stories about when she was growing up and I enjoyed that. She def makes me miss my grandmaw. After almost everyone left, Jeremy sister, his nephew and his parents and us to all got in the living and played Just Dance 3. I had never laughed so hard in my life. I thought I was a pretty good dancer but umm that game proved me I was wrong.

Sunday morning Jeremy and I got up and headed to his parents house around 9 to exchange gifts with his parents, sister, and nephew. I really enjoyed that time cause my family use to get together like that and smile and laugh before my parents got divorced. It was a precious moment to me cause made me realize I actually had a family again. Acourse Jeremy's family out did thereself to. Got us so much stuff that I know you dont want me to name all of it. But it was all stuff we needed for our new home. Sunday at lunch with Jeremy's mom family. Jeremy's granny got me and him matching pajama set. It was so cute and sweet and we really enjoyed our time with them. After lunch me and Jeremy headed home and I took a nap while Jeremy played the WII.

Sunday night Jeremy and I had his parents and sister over for family game night. OMG SO MUCH FUN!!! I had a bunch of candy and rotel dip fixed. WE all had cocktails and wine. We played skip bo at first then we played dominos. I laughed so hard and so much that my stomach muscles were hurting. We played games from 7-midnight. Again it was precious to me and I just took all of it in cause I have been dreaming of having a family and I finally have it. It was also sweet cuase earlier in the year me and Jeremy's sister had a miscommunication and wasnt on speaking terms and well his parents got involved and it was a mess for a while. Alot of feelings hurt and me and Jeremy almost called it quits. But we all love each other to much and we put the past in the past and now we are a stronger family than ever before. I just wish my parents and sister could move forward but I give up on them.

Monday was a rainy icky day!! So me and Jeremy played the wii all day long and had so much fun. We did manage to put all the gifts up and clean the mess in kitchen up and wash 2 loads of clothes but for the most part it was just playing the wii.

Whew if you are still reading this WOW!!! I know we had a busy Christmas but it was honestly the best that I have had in forever. I cant remember the last time my Christmas was this good. Jeremy is such a blessing in my life. I know that God sent him to me. God is still working in my life and so thankful that he never gave up n me when I know I have done alot of rotten things in my life and be rotten to alot of poeple. BUT God forgives and moves on and it is never to late to start over.

I have fully enjoyed reading about all of yalls Christmas we all have so many blessings in our life. Hope you all have a Happy New Year also. I am getting all my thankyou cards writen this week and ready to bring in the New Year cause got alot of things I want to accomplish this year

Random Babble!!!!

It is CRAZY this week.

Confession to yall I was in such a hurry yesterday morning that I got in my car and got 10 minutes down the road and realized. . . .  Are you ready for this?!?! I forgot to brush my teeth!!!! GROSS!!!! I know I went all day yesterday stinky breath. Hey times are tough I was not about to go spend 5 dollars on a new toothbrush so I kept pepperment in my mouth all day.

So during lunch I ran to walmart to get stuff to make all my Christmas goodies and to get stuff for Jeremy's stocking. guess one everything on my list to get for Jeremy's stocking was OUT OF STOCK!!!! I had a melt down in walmart. When I say melt down I got doen in the floor kicking and screaming hahahahaha NAWP I didnt I did shed a tear though and think my heart skipped a few beats. I did get everything I needed to fix for the holidays.

My boss took the afternoon offto go hunting so this girl worked her lil heart out yesterday. NAWP!!! I didnt do that either I actually read my book all afternoon. Dont judge me everybody needs a slack day at work right?!?!

After work I went home and got in my pjs and in the kitchen I went. I cooked 2 sausage pinwheels, made some pretzel thinga- my-bobs, and started a batch of oreo balls. All of these receipes I got off of pinterest. I also managed to wash a load of clothes. I was so proud of myself for all I got done last night. I am usually one of these peeps that waits to the night before and 4 hours before I need to have something done to do it then I get stressed out and drink a whole bottle of wine in the process. I told myself this year that I wasnt going to do that and well I got most of my food done and I dont have to have it done til Saturday.


Jeremy was so funny while I was cooking he was in the living room watching tv. He said can you please slow down. I said what is wrong?? He said you are making me so sleeping just watching you. insert him yawning here hahahahaha. He then said can I do something to help you?? I said yes babe can you put the clothes in the dryer. He said WHAT!?!?! you been washing clothes to Babe you are super woman.

I just think he is the sweetest. I mean he always knows how to get me to laugh when I need it and even when I just want to cry he has the abilit of to make me laugh.

I am so sad cause after this week I cant jam out to Christmas music anymore. Like I might actually cry.

I just realized while typing this that I dont think I put deo on today OOPS but dangit I did remember my teefies this morning. I still have minty breath.

Christmas Time

Whew is it really only Tuesday?!?!

Ok so yesterday was a miserable day for me I really hate with the monster hits. I always get terrible headaches :( no cramping or anything just HEADACHES!!!! So needless to say yesterday was headache day!!

After work I rushed home got in my pjs ASAP and got on the couch with my Lizzie Mae!!! I did not move til I decided to get in the bed. Poor Jeremy got everything for me:) Im a very lucky girl.

I know you are dieing to know what we watched on tv. Well thanks for asking:) We watched Home Alone (which this movie never gets old) and we also watched the Goonies. Ok so Jeremy thinks its so funny that I had never seen that movie til last night?!? It was a cute movie from what I actually watched lol I was busy playing on my facebook. Dont tell on me Pahlease;)

Today I am feeling much better just wish I was at home cooking for this weekend instead of at work. BUT I am at least looking forward to going home and cooking.

I have noticed alot of bloggers have been sharing all there Christmas decorations. Well a few post back I shared my tree (halfway decorated) and my fireplace. Well I thought I would share it again all finished. Dont get excited cause it is nothing. We are on a budget this year. We are having to buy stuff for the new house so Christmas decorating was limited to what we already had plus one trip to the dollar store.







I love how our outside turned out :)  Well considering if you saw what our neighbors yard looked like. Sorry for the quality this are taken from my phone.  Alot of people go all out for Christmas and the decorating I usually do but I am glad of what we did this year. It isnt alot but its enough for us.

I hope you all have a great Christmas with the ones you love!!!! I am thankful afor the few friends that i have talked to since starting my blog.

I have to share this picture of Lizzie Mae this weekend:) She got to open one of her gifts early and well she loved the unwrapping process.

Weekend Recap!!!!

Hello ladies!!! I survived the weekend:) and I must say Christmas has kicked into high gear at our house.

Friday- well I really dont want to recap this day cause after my post the day went to the birds. It stunk big time. Christmas isnt being nice to my pocketbook this year. So when I saw my balance I got all sad then I went to the mailbox and well I ran into a girl who hates me and got the evil stare down. This just sent me more into depression. I go home thinking the day will get better cause I was thinking I had already had all I could take. Well God thought I could take a lil more. Jeremy and I are talking about when we will be able to do our Christmas together. He starts asking me about gifts and UGH I left it slip that his was a game that I wanted to play with him. EEK!!!! I lose my composure then I go into a depression of crying and making weird noises. After that I went straight to bed and finished reading  a book that I started like 4 months ago and early to bed for me.

Saturday morning I woke up and the monster suprised me early!!!! YAY!!!! just how I wanted to start my morning off. I got my cup of coffee and had a lil alone time with God. After 2 cups of coffee, talk with God, and watching some Live with Kelly!! I was ready to tackle the day. So at 9 that morning yes I got up at 7. ( I know I am like a 70 year old) Anyway me and Jeremy decided to do our Christmas together this morning cause next weekend is going to be so busy and we wanted to enjoy our time together. I got everything I had asked for plus more. I was so blessed for all Jeremy got me and he was very happy with his gifts to.

After opening gifts we both got showered and dressed and out the door to jackson we go. We had to go shopping to finish up our Christmas list. I literally prayed the whole way day there for God to give me patience cause I didnt want to spend Christmas in jail. When we got to Jackson we first stopped at Firehouse sub to eat lunch and get fueled up for our shopping. When we got to the mall and parked which might I add that our parking spot was right at the door. YAY!!!!! We both said a lil prayer and we went in Old Navy and Kirklands and had great success and we never once got stressed and every time we went to get in line to check out we always were the second people in line. Thank you sweet baby jesus!!!

On the way home I told Jeremy I know now why I had such a bad day yesterday its so I could have a great day today:) God knew exactly what he was doing but I still questioned him. Saturday night after we got home we had a wrapping party!!! We got all our presents wrapped and under the tree. We then settled in and watched the Hangover 2!!!!

Sunday was a lazy day kinda I got up watched the sheets, we did our grocery shopping for the week, I finally got my closet organized WOOHOO!!! Jeremy watched football and I laid on the couch and started reading The HELP!!!! I really have enjoyed it already and really want to watch the movie. We did go to my sisters church and watch her and my nephew participate in the Christmas program.

Is anyone else watching Kim and Kourtney take New York?? Well I really dont like Kim now. I feel like she is a spoiled brat. I mean yes Kris isnt just the perfect gentleman but I dont think everyone should point fingers at him cause Kim is sure not a princess. Jeremy told me that he was so glad that I ddint act like her cause he would go crazy.

Anyway. . . that is my weekend recap. I was going to say if anyone who I actually have talked to from the blog world wants to be my friend on facebook that you more than welcome to look me up. Just shoot me a email and I will let you know my last night so you can look me up. I am constantly uploading pictures on there cause well that is something I know how to do:)

Know off to tackle the week cause I am ready for some Christmas fun and FOOD!!!!

Did you miss me?!?!

Why hello there?!?! DO you remember me?

Sorry for the missing in action I have been keeping up with my fav blogs but just havent been able to get focused on writing. I know good lord. My mind has been in overload. I  am really getting into making a New Years resolution and sticking to it. So often so many people make them but never stick to them.

Ok so let me see what you have missed in my life this week. . . . . .

Well I had another great weekend. My friend Lindsey came to stay Friday night. It is always a great time when she comes around. The boyfriend grilled chicken for us, we all sat outside around a fire and chatted, and even played 2 rounds of cars before calling it a night. It was a very fun relaxing night.

Saturday, I woke up in work mode!!! I dusted the entire house, swept and mopped the floors, washed and folded clothes, and finally finished my christmas decorations YAY!!!! I even squeezed in a hour nap!!! Saturday night Jeremy took me out to this lil bbq restaurant in Koscisko that I love. After we ate he took me around the town to see all the Christmas lights. I swear it feels so good to be with somebody who does stuff for you without having to ask. We went home and got in our pjs and settled in the living room and watched the movie Friends with Benefits. I enjoyed this movie!! I mean I think it ws predictable I knew what was going to happen but I love movies that make me laugh and cry.

Sunday I woke up feeling like I was getting the flu. BOOOOOO!!!! So it was a day of staying in the bed all day long which I hate doing. Poor Jeremy had his hands full with me cause I whined alot. OOPS I know that is so bad but I hate being lazy. I could never be a stay at home mom, wife, or girlfriend. No offense to people who are I just cant be that person.

Monday I woke up still sick. I got up and tried to get ready for work but passed out in the shower EEK!!! scared the poop out of me. So I called in sick which I hate doing and hardly never do and got back in the bed with Lizzie. And thats all I can say about my Monday!!!!

The rest of the week has been catch up. UGH!!! After spendningtwo days in the bed and missing a day of work. WHEW this girl has been busy but so thankful to feel better. I am so thankful that it is Friday cause I am ready for a weekend with the boyfriend and my Lizzie Mae. Tonight we are just going to chill around the house. Tomorrow is a day of shopping. We have most of our Christmas shopping done but we got a few more to do. I cant believe that next weekend is Christmas:)) I am so ready for it cause me and Jeremy are stinking at waiting.I have already open one of my presents from him and he opened one of his hahahaha We are like a bunch of kids. We even let Lizzie have one of her Christmas presents last night and she was so funny with the wrapping paper.

Hope my blogger friends have had a great week!!! Be blessed!!!

Being kind!!!

I am my own worst enemy and have been for years. I think it comes from not wanting to be like my parents or my family. They all are very selfish people and I refuse to be selfish therefore I am mean to myself alot. I down myself and I never let myself think good of myself. Is this healthy?!? Prob not is it normal?!?! NOPE but I am not normal at all just look at the name of my blog.

Anyone who knows me is always telling me I have to big of a heart. REALLY?!?! I dont think that is possible. I will def be a lil selfish and say yeah I do. Let me give you a few examples.
  1. a dead animal- I am the one that crys when I see a dead animal in the road and I pray that poor creature didnt suffer.
  2. Kim Kardashian- everyone is tearing her apart. I feel bad for her cause we dont know the whole story and who are we to judge her just by what we hear. I am divorced so if people want to look down on her then look down on me to
  3. Houston nutt- I am not an Ole miss fan at all. I feel so bad for him cause he is just a normal guy who lost his job. he had a few bad seasons and well everybody tore him apart and said rotten thinks about him and I just feel terrible for him.
Well last night the boyfriend took me to his offices annual Christmas party. Jeremy is always talking to me about Terry. I was looking forward to finally be able to put a face with the name that I hear so often in our home. I left the party last night with tears in my eyes cause I made a new friend. Terry is orginal from Michigan and that is where all his family is also he is here alone. He only gets to go to Michigan twice a year. It just broke my heart cause he is going to spend Christmas alone, and well think about it he spends almost all year alone. I couldnt imagine being alone today I def couldnt imagine at his age. I invited him to come to our house anytime so he could have some company and I told him I would cook for him. I got up this morning and fixed him a big plate full of letovers.

I am sure you are thinking where are you going with this. Well we all have troubles in life. Our car doesnt start, we woke up late for work, our parents irritate us. our hubby pissed us off this morning. Just imagine if you didnt have your parents near you or if you didnt have a hubby or a wife. I just asked that sometime during the holiday season you smile and speak to your elderly and especially pray for them. So many elderly get pushed to the side in this day and time. Trust me I know I overlook how important my grandpaw is. One day that will be all of us and wouldnt you like it if someone was nice to you.

I hope you all have a great weekend!!! Remember what the season is all about and dont get wrapped up in the giving and receiving but enjoy spending time with the ones you love cause you could be Terry who is giong to be spending it alone.

New Year!!!

Hello my peeps!!! Sorry I have MIA but trying to enjoy my new routine and still getting settled. I have alot of stuff going through my head today so I wanted to share with yall and have note of what I want to do and accomplish.

First off I am loving living with Jeremy it is even better than I imagined. We are learning new stuff about each other and making alot of memories together already and I havent even been there a week yet. Lizzie on the other hand is going through depression I think. She has always loved Jeremy but she has always been with me when she has been loving him. I am not able to go home for lunch anymore but Jeremy goes home at lunch and lets her out to stretch and play. You would think that Lizzie would love this but she doesnt understand why I am not the one letting her out. She whines and just lays in my chair depressed. She also does this in the afternoons until I get home then she goes WILD!!! It breaks my heart that she is having a hard time with the new house and the new adjustments. She has only lived in one place since she was 6 weeks old. Have any of you every moved and your dog ever got depressed???

Am I the only one that thinks its still August??? I mean seriously where did this year go?!?! I am def not complaining this year has been awesome in so many ways and I am ready to make 2012 even better. BUT!!!! I am so ready for the holidays to be over. GASP!!! I know I am shocked that I feel this way to casue I usually love Christmas time. I think its just cause so much has happened so fast in my life right here around the holidays so it has had me pretty stressed out. I just havent been very prepared this year as I usually am. It has been hard this year buying for everyone when we been trying to get adjusted into our home. Sorry I know it sounds like I am complaining and I am not I know God has blessed me but it has just all been very overwhelming.

Ok with all that said I have alot I want to accomplish in the new year and I want to list a few of them here so I can come back here and read them when I need reminding of what I want to do. So here we go!!!

  1. I want to be physical active more. Like running, walking, working out, swimming, Anything besides lifting a spoon or fork to my mouth.
  2. I want to be better at planning. I am such a procrastinator about everything. I want to make meal plans for the week and grocery list and plan birthdays a month in advice instead of the week of.
  3. I want to read more. I use to love reading and always had a book in my hand. I want to try to read one book a month surely I can do that.
  4. I want to be more crafty. I look on pinterest and love all the DIY crafts but I am always to scared to try it all. I want to stop being scared and just do it. I might actually be good at.
  5. I want to strenghten my relationship with God. Everyone needs this.
  6. I want to get more into cooking and baking. I feel like I am always cooking the same thing. I want to venture out more and take risk with cooking.
  7. I want to work on my self esteem. I always feel like people arent going to like me. I feel like I am not pretty enough or not skinny enough. I know I am not fat but I am very insecure with myself and my body.
This is the main things on my mind lately that I want to work on. I could prob list things for days but I found it common that people overwhelm themself therefore they dont accomplish it at all. I want to accomplish things in life. If I have learned anything in 2011 is I can do anything I set my mind to as long as God is by my side. This year has been the best I can remember and its because I took risk and I fell flat on my butt a few times but I am happy and I am growing. 

Are there goals you want to meet in 2012?? If so let me know I might want to add the goals to my list.

My weekend and TIme to Adjust!!!

Am I in a dream?!?!?

Good Morning. I am dragging so slow I mean it is Friday today right?!?! Where the hay did my weekend go?!?! Who stole it?!? WHEW!!! This weekend was so busy but so exciting.

I did get moved for everybody wondering and even got everything unpacked. This only happened so smoothly cause I threw so much stuff away. SHOCKER!!! This week is going to be a week worth of first for me and Jeremy which I am not going to lie I am so nervous. We will see each other EVERY day. I have so many what ifs going through my head. Jeremy and I have been together a year and a half. The first year of our relationship we just saw each other on the weekends and the last 6 months its been the weekends and on Wednesday nights. EEK!!! what if after this week he hates me. I know Im thinking crazy. This will also be the first week for me communting back and forth to work. I have always lived ten minutes from my job but NOW it takes me 30 minutes EEK!!! BIG adjustment there to me.

I feel so heavy on my heart this weekend and I have been having to have God really guide me cause I love Jeremy and I know I want to be with him.BUT this move has me so scared of screwing up again. I have already commented to a man before and it didnt end well at all. Yes I have changed alot since then and in my eyes those changes have been for the better. I just want to be the best girlfriend right now that I can be. So these next few weeks are going to be big adjustments on both me and Jeremy I know so if yall all dont mind please say a quick lil prayer for us.

Closing one chapter of my life and beginning a new one!!

Life is a word to me that has so many different meanings. I know the dictionary only has one but my meaning of life is not the same as what you think life means. Each one of us start at a young age planning out our futures we want to be doctors, actors, lawyers, or astronauts. We also dream about the day our prince charming comes along sweeps us up and throw us on the back of his white horse and we ride off into the sunset. ( I like Disney movies can you tell) We dream about having the big house with the wrap around porch and green shutters with kids and babies and animals and ok Ill shut up now cause you get the picture RIGHT?!?!

Life never works out the way we want it to or as we dream it will be. As we grow up our maturity level changes and we decide we dont want to be a lawyer or a doctor but instead we want to be a teacher or a singer. We wind up getting our heart broke a bazillion times and our fairytale slowly starts fading. Our painting we drew in our mind on life is a big wreck and nothing seems clear to us. Peer pressure starts attacking us and we know we dont need to do this or this but we do it anyway. We wake up the next morning and blame everybody including the family dog but never own up to that is was your fault.

Life is what you make it. It isnt going to be perfect and no we will never have it right but thats what is so beautiful about life. I was sitting in my floor last night packing my things into boxes and I busted into tears. Ok when I say tears I mean like dramatic should def win an oscar tears. I wish I could say that all of the tears were from a happy place but not all of them were. I was just overwhelmed with emotions I was happy for what I had overcome but also I started thinking about where I had come from.

Back about 3 years ok I lived in a nice home was driving a brand new sports car and a big diamond on my left hand. I was fairytale living it sounds like but I was miserable. Long story short I got a divorce packed my clothes and hit the road. I got 1000 out of the divorce and bought me a grand pri 1999 model car. Big change from the sports car for sure. I got a rent house and I started trying to rebuild my life. During this time I went down a dark dark road. I started smoking cigarettes like a pack a day, drinking every night, and dating any loser that would give me attention. I was a train wreck. I had no lifestyle what so ever it is embarrassing to think about. I have tears streaming down my face while typing. I had tons of friends during this time though everyone was always calling me saying come on Nicole lets go shopping or lets go do this.

My life changed again on June 14, 2010. God sent me my angel to save me from the road I was on. This angel is Jeremy who I also get to call my boyfriend. He found my picture on myspace. He says something about my face made him want to know me. I accepted his freind request and we started messaging each other back and forth and then we went on a date and well you know. I havent been in a bar since June 12,2010. I have quit smoking and I hardly never drink. Did Jeremy make me change?? No but he made me want to. Before June 14,2010 I can not tell you the last time I prayed to God. Now I pray to him every night before I close my eyes even if its just to tell God thank you. I dont have all my friends I did before but I got all I need now I have my real friends who when I need them they come running, when I need to cry they cry with me, when I need to laugh they do something totally retarded, and when I need to scream they plug their ears.

My life has been a rollercoaster and why God loves me so much literally takes my breath away cause wow I have been a tough one to handle and I def know I try his patience. I dont know why God sent Jeremy to me but I am so glad he did. My painting on life is starting to become clear again and it sure is beautiful. I have so much to be thankful for and I so often take it for granted. Jeremy has helped me grow into this amazing person. I have learned so much and I have tried so many new things. Im finally saying goodbye to my past and saying hello to my future and yes alot of tears are being shed. Do not go to the dollar general here needing Kleenex cause this girl bought them out.

Just remember life to you might me hard, life to you might be great,  but in reality life is what you want it to be :)

Well for starters I know most of yall HATED coming back to work today but this girl was so excited to start this week off. WHY?!?! well cause this is my last week living in Carthage that is right this weekend is the weekend that I move in with Jeremy. Up unitl this week I have been an emotional wreck I am not going to lie. I have been scared, nervous, happy, sad, oh goodness I have been ever emotion possible. I have prayed to God am I making a mistake?? I watch Kim & Kourtney take New York last night and it made me start thinking about how Kim and Kris had just gotten married and living together and they had alot of struggles cause they both were so different. Also in this day and time lets face it it is so easy to get a divorce. I dont want that AGAIN!!! I refuse to go down that road again. Therefore I know I am doing the right thing and for those of you that I offend by living with Jeremy before marriage I am sorry but I have to do what is right for me.

Ok so moving on, me and Jeremy exchanged christmas presents this weekend also hahahaha. I know your thinking what the hay Christmas is still a month away. Trust me we know this let me explain. I just bought a newer car, we just got a house which means alot of new bills for us. So we went ahead and got two big expensive gifts to ech other out of the way therefore we will have money to buy for everyone else and be able to enjoy christmas instead of being stressed out about money. Since we just got the new house we are slowly getting everything like we want it so I bought Jeremy a new grill and he bought me a new swing for the back porch.
Jeremy's new grill which we put together :)






My new swing up and ready to make memories in :)




I am so excited about these two gifts. Last night Jeremy grilled us chicken and I sat in the swing while he grilled. Yes we are like an old married couple but we love it.

Last Tuesday night I went painting with Jeremy's mom, his granny, and his sister at Easley Amused. We painting a Christmas ornament. Also the last week I went painting with some friends and we did a Christmas poinsetta which I didnt share a picture of. I have both of this diplayed in the house as part of our Christmas decorations.

My Christmas Poinsetta which to me looks more like Patrick from Spongebob lol





My Christams ornament






Thursday was a lazy day for us. Jeremy layed on the couch and watch football most of the day and Lizzie and I layed in the bed and watched the parade and slept alot. Lizzie really enjoyed her Thanksgiving!!!




Thursday night we went to my moms and stepdads for thanksgiving which was alot of fun. Friday I got up early and went shopping with Jeremy's mom and sister which we had a blast. We just went and got decorations really. After shopping Jeremy's sister came over and helped me start decorating my tree which still isnt finished yet got to get more stuff but here is the halfway mark hehehehe

Friday night Jeremy and I went to his parents for Thanksgiving and goodness we ate way to much and his parents surprised us with an early Christmas present :) his dad built it and his mom painted it.



Saturday was the day I had been waiting on all year my first time going to the EGGBOWL. Rain was in the forecast but I didnt care I just did my hair curly put my rainboots on ( well I had to borrow them from Jeremy's sister) and it was off to Starkville. I had planned to meet up with Callie but the rain didnt allow me to :( but I did get to wave at her big. She is even more prettier in person just hate I didnt get to talk to her but after a few texting conversations I feel like I know her. So here is a few pictures from Saturday I had so much fun but was so glad to get home and get a hot shower and get in my bed.












Well I dont think I left anything out but I am sure if you read all of this you are bored out of your mind. I am off to finish this Monday morning off so I can have lunch with my favorite girl Lindsey. Then tonight I must start packing so I want be so overwhelmed by this weekend. Hope yall are off to a great start. Even though Thanksgiving has come and gone dont be so quick to forget what all you have to be thankful for.

Overwhelmed!!!!

Yes the title says it all I dont do good with having SO much going on cause I get to sweating and stressed and my blood pressure goes up. As I know I have talked about many times I am fixing to move in with my boyfriend. I know alot of people think this is awful and I use to be that person Who wanted to do it the right way but after my first divorce I feel led to do it this way.

Anywho. . . . I have so much I want to do, that I need to do, and EEK!!!! I am running out of time I feel like. I dont have PATIENCE like zero!!! When I get my mind set on doing something I will do it with NO help cause who needs help???

I am in the process of trying to decorate a house which means in the process of slowly buying stuff. Also this is Thanksgiving week and trying to figure out stuff I can fix ( well this is whenever the family decides when we are eating) and also trying to make out my christmas list, plus ARGH I have to decorate the house for Christmas and I am moving in the house next weekend. Let me say I havent even started packing.

Ok peeps quit laughing I am sure to yall this is a piece of cake but I am a basket case stress out need MEDICATION stat. We also have the EGG Bowl Saturday which means I have to find Lizzie a babysitter and figure out what I am cooking for that day. I feel so overwhlemed here lately my mind never shuts off which means I am not sleeping good.

I am so ready for Christmas cause by then I feel like I will be settled in the house with Jeremy and Lizzie and calm and cool again. So today my day will be spent on Pinterest finding ideas for everything I need. So I will prob be MIA for the next couple of days. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving with your families. I will talk to yall soon

Confessions Unwrapped

Hello my blog loves!! Today I had a post written to link up with Callie for Thankful Thursday but my mind is running so plans have changed.( hope yall dont mind)

If you have read my blog post I dont have much of a family life and well friends have come and gone in my life alot to. I am not a writer in fact when it came to writing papers in school this GIRL!!!! didnt do very good it was always a hot mess with alot of RED marks on my pages.

In the last few months the blog world has helped me more than you ladies know I have found it so encouraging to sit down and read about each one of you. To read about your adventures, your styles, your love life, your screw ups, and just about you. Although I have never meet any of you and might never have the opportunity I just want to say thank you for clicking follow thank you for commenting, thank you for emailing, and thank you for taking the time to get to know me.

I started back in February of this year reading the blog Keeping up with Katie. I saw it on yahoo page about the top inspiring weightloss stories. I had never heard of a blog until that day and it just intrigued me so much. Well after a few days I came across Fitting Back In and it was the same thing. Some days I would cry when I would read this two blogs cause I was like yes Nicole your not crazy!!!!! I have had alot of changes in my life cause I want to be different than what my parents have been. I want to be that person that when you meet me your like wow this girl is genuine.

I started thinking I wanted to start a blog but this voice inside of my head said your dummy you will never be able to do that nobody is going to want to read about your crazy messed up life. Yes I am my own enemy, and where this battle with myself came from I am not sure. I look in the memory and see failure.

Jacob (my best friend/ room-mate) and Jeremy are always telling me I am the GREATEREST!!!!! It is hard sometimes to see myself as even close to that cause I want allow myself. I love making people happy if jeremy or jacob say i wish I had some homemade chili. I am the girl that goes above and beyond to do it.

The last few months of blogging have been hard cause I was scared of what people would think or what if I had no one read it. I look over and it says I have 7 followers. It makes me so greatful cause it makes me think somebody finds something I say interesting. I am so thankful for the blog world cause if I only get to vent to 7 people that is 7 more people that I had to vent to. So thank you for letting me vent to you about my crazy think called life. Thank you for helping me through this crazy time. Thanks you for becoming my blog family. I honestly wake up easier in the morning knowing that yall's blogs are wating on me to read. You all are my lil blessing that God as sent into my lifes and are all helping me reach my goals and dreams. A few months ago I was confused and scared and now I am truely thankful for my life and for the friendships I am starting.

I didnt want to leave without sharing my painting from the other night

Just Call me Picasso!!!!!




Hello my favorite people!!! First off I want to thank the 2 lovely ladies you emailed me last last thank you for your sweet comments it def made my Monday better:)

Yes my Monday was a whack job (yes I just typed that and I have no clue what that means but whateva) it was like the morning was ok but then after lunch something happened. Well when 5 came around I looked at my desk and thought OMG a tornado (HUGE) has done blown my desk up. I have no memory of how my desk so cluttered but I am still trying to straighten it out. EEK!!!!

Last night I went home and immediately got in my pjs yes which means at 5:25 I was ready for bed make off and all. Anyway got to have my monthly hourly chat with my friend Michael I dont know why we only talk once a month but that is how we roll. My roomate  cooked lasagna which isnt good formy healthy diet but oh well I devoured it and enjoyed it while doing it. I got settled in my spot and ready for some my tv shows last night I watched Dancing with the stars, Hart of Dixie, and 20/20 special about Gabby Gifford.

Ok I dont know if yall have kept up with or even heard about Gabby Gifford. If you havent omg search her on google NOW!!!!! I cried like a baby last night (what is new) it was the most heart tugging special. It made me feel bad cause yes I have struggles in life but compared to her it is so small.




Gabrielle Giffords vows to return to Congress in first interview after shooting
This is Gabby and her hubby Mark Kelly on last nights broadcast
So I am sure you are wondering what my title has to do with what I did last night OOPS sorry this lil girl got carried away. Well tonight I am giong after work to meet 2 friends of mine Alison and Kim to Easley Amused to do a painting. I do a post awhile back about that me and Jeremy's sister had done an owl. Then me, my mom, and my sister went the end of September and painting a scarecrow.


My sister Amands, me and my mom with our scarecrows:)






I am so excited about having girl time tonight cause I dont have alot of girls that I call my friend and most of the time it scares me to start a friendship with a girl. And if you dont know why I am like this well then move to my neck of the woods and you will find out fast.

I am also going to make me my first ELF purchase cause I have to go 45 minutes out of town to be able to. Do any of yall use it?? If so any recommendations???

Weekend Recap!!

Hello lovies!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend and that Monday is starting off well. My weekend wasnt the best I saw alot this weekend that left me sad, angry, and just made me realize how cruel our world is.

Friday night was spent chilling at the house. The boyfriend fixed us tacos for supper and we settled in the bed early and watched The Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz
Bad Teacher Poster

This movie was ok but it wasnt really my favorite I felt like I knew what was going to happen. I did laugh a bunch though.

Saturday morning started off early. I got up a lil before 8 ate some breakfast, took a shower and got ready, and had to get Lizzie packed and ready. I took Lizzie to spend the day and night with my mom and stepdad. We left the house around 10:30 going to Starkville. Our usually tailgate crew wasnt able to come so we went to Mugshots and had to wait for 45 minutes to get seated then another 45 minutes to get our food. Around 2 we went to campus and went to see some other friends. The day was going ok until. . . . . Me and Jeremy decided we wanted to go to the dawg walk. Well when we were walking that way we ran into his ex girlfriend. Ugh I got irritated :( WhyI am sure you are asking well let me give you a background on her.

Her name is Jerrica and her and Jeremy dated for about 3 months until she broke his heart. She was all about him then one day was not about him anymore and just ended it. She strung him along for a few months until he got fed up and ended communications with him. Well about 6 months after he ended communications with her I come along and we start dating. Guess who starts texting him again?? Bingo her!!! I am not a jealous girlfriend most of the time but she def made me go crazy. DO NOT text my boyfriend pictures of yall two kissing and do not be texting him about how you had dreams about him. OH it gets better Jeremy went off on her saying leave me alone why are you trying to cause problems??? Her reply was I just need a friend I am not trying to cause problems. OMG this girl things I was born yesterday. Sweetie I have done been married and had a divorce so I know more than you think. So yes I dont have much for her. Cause dont hurt my boyfriends feeling but then when you realize he has moved on want him again.

Ok so my blood was pumping we get to the dawg walk stand there for 45 minutes waiting on it then Alabama fans get in the way to where police had to re-route the dawg walk therefore all the people who had waiting for 45 minutes to get a good view couldnt see NOTHING!!!! I was like NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Anyway we go to the game and some guys sitting by us were OBNOXIOUS!!! They are season ticket people so we have sat by them all year but Saturday they decided to drank a 5 of whiskey before the game. They were cussing none stop like yelling. We have a christian family that sit in front of us that have 2 small children. It just made me mad cause the kids acting scared and just kept looking at the guys. I was so embarrassed to say that this people were State fans. I felt bad cause there were an older Alaama couple that sat in front of them. I was so mad!!!!!! Then after the game we are walking to our car and this guy who is younger than me but was in college at Alabama was yelling out State fans Im so sorry that we hurt your feelings by whooping your A$$. Yall F**KING SUCK!!!! I am not writing down everything he was saying but guess what a bunch of other kids were around during this time and this girl had had ENOUGH!!! I looked at the guy and I said can you please stop cussing around these kids. He looked at me like I was crazy. He said what d*mn kids. I said well you need to look around he said umm what do they have virgin ears. DO WHAT????

WHAT is wrong with our world today?? I cuss sometimes yes I dont use the words he used but I do let some words slipp but I do it in private with my peeps not for the whole world to hear. Why do people thing it is ok to just hell out whatever you want to?? It just saddens me so much that people not only dont respect others but they dont respect themselves. I just think it is so sad cause children look up to people like that stupid acting guy cause kids cant wait to there his age. I feel so sorry for his parents cause i hope his parents didnt teach him those manners.

I am sorry maybe you disagree with me but its guys like him that make me so scared to have kids one day cause I do not want my kids acting like that. I honestly prayed the whole way home cause I was having bad thoughts about what I would like to do to that boy.

I was hoping to meet up Callie from The Good Life but didnt get up there:( Dear Callie I saw you seating 3 rows back from me and was gonna come up during halftime but the 2 bottles of water I drank before the game kicked in and I had to stand in line forever. After the game you had already left. The Egg Bowl I promise I will come say hey:)

Well its off to do some work on this gloomy Monday morning. I hope you all have a great day:))

Random Day!!!

Ok so this girl learned something new I know SHOCKER!!!! I swear somedays I feel like my parents hate me cause why didnt they teach me more good gosh. Anywho last week my sinuses went hair wire and I had to go get a shot in my buttox which yes I am 25 and still tear up when I get a shot. Yes I am a big baby but you would be to if you had my sensitive tush.

Ok enough about my tush. Well since last Friday miss Lizzie Mae hasnt been feeling well and has even thrown up a few times which makes me throw up to cause YUCK!!!! So it is just a hot mess when she gets sick. Well I decided to call her vet this morning and see if I needed to bring her in. I tell him what she has been doing and he proceeds to tell me that I gave Lizzie my sinus infection. WHAT??? Is this normal??? My dog caught my infection??? I did not know that animals could catch stuff from humans. So if I have the flu can my baby catch it. I honestly think I am getting dumber by the day cause I have had animals all my life and I did not know this. I think I am calling and checking in to reserving me a room at the nursing home cause at this rate whew I will be there by the time I am 30.

Also today is voting day. THANK GOD it is almost over cause I am so tired tired of hearing about it all. Here in MS we have the amendment 26 which is about prolife. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I am tired of hearing everybody bicker and fuss about it. I mean it has been ridic. I have my beliefs and usually when I am asked my opinion I will give it to you but about 26 I have just kept my mouth shut. God knows my my heart and knows how I feel and thats all that matters.

I finally quit complaining about how I had no winter clothes and went shopping during lunch today YES!! I got some cute stuff to. I got 3 new dresses to where with my tights plus I got a pair of grey tights. What you want to see pictures of what I got well I wish I could show you to but this dumb girl cant figure out to upload pictures. I am gonna try to find pictures of it all online. I got alot of cute stuff and for a really good price to. I am def washing all my stuff tonight so I can start wearing them. I also want to get me some scarfs to start wearing cause they are super cute. I really need a good girl friend to help me with my fashion sense cause well I stink at it.

Just for the people who care and even for the ones that dont really I just wanted you to know than in 3 weeks and 4 days I will be making the big move to Kosciusko in with the boyfriend:)) I am so excited but nervous. Well Im off to do some work I am so ready for 5 to get here so I can go home and take a nap.

My embarrasing moment that I shouldnt post!!!!!

I know after this post the five followers that I do have will definitely hit the unfollow button but this is my blog and I dont ever want to forget this STUPID moment of mine. I have a tendency to open my mouth and embarrass myself but acourse everyone that is around gets a very good laugh out of my stupidity. Anywho saturday me, the boyfriend, and some of our friends were watching the big game. I am sorry to the people who are LSU fans but I am not so much. I have my many reasons though so dont cuss my name yet. I do know they are a good team but they still arent my favorite.

Anyway sorry. . . .  My friends said I hate how Lsu says GEAUX tigers I mean come on G-O is a 2 letter word. Ok insert me being all confused faced. I said what are you talking about??? My friends shows me a facebook status that said GEAUX TIGERS!!!!! I said you pronounce that GO?????? My friend said how did you think you pronounced it??? I said good scotts I thought you pronounced it GEAUX ( G-ox). I said OMG I thought that was the name of the mascot the geaux tiger.

Yes after this conversation I didnt speak for the rest of the night cause I was like how did everybody else know this and I amso dumb and didnt. I am totally laughing about this now lol cause I am not so dumb for thinking this well in my book anyway. Why would people want to change the way of spelling such a simple word??? I know the answer though. They knew I would be the last person in this area to figure this out.

Hope everyone is having a blessed Monday!!!!

Decorating, Football, Friends, & a Good Weekend:)

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers:)
  
        I promised yall that I would do better with my blog. So here is a brand new week of happy thoughts. I have to say I had a great weekend. I am also loving the time change cause when my alarm went off this morning I didnt mind getting up cause the sun was shining YESSSSSS!!!!!!

Anyway recap of Friday was work and work then got off went home got packed up and Jeremy got to Carthage around 5:30. We went and grabbed a subway and then headed to Leake Academy to watch them in the first round of the playoffs. Acourse Leake didnt pull off the win but it was a very exciting game but also a very cold night. After the game we headed to Kosciusko for the weekend.

Saturday morning started out early cause we wanted to get alot done with the house. My mom and step dad came down to help and see the house for the first time. We finally have pictures hanging on the wall WOOHOO!!! It is finally starting to look like home. After my mom and step dad left, it was off to walmart for food and home to cook. We decided to not go to States homecoming but to have a few friends over to watch the LSU vs Alabama game. I think our first get to together was a big success seemed like everyone loved the house and we had way to much food. I fixed Rotel dip, peanut butter cup cookies, and pepporoni pizza cups.

We had a great night but when everyone left it was crash time even poor Lizzie was exhausted and I didnt think she ever got tired.

Sunday morning acourse started early due to the time change which was fine with me. I cooked Jeremy homemade breakfast burritos I adapted this recipe from Fitting Back in. We love this burritos. After breakfast it was showers and ready to start the day. We had to go to walmart and get some utinsels. I needed a rake for the yard. There is 2 big pine trees in the front yard which means a HOT mess our front yard is nothing but pine needles everywhere. I got the front yard raked up then Jeremy started raking all the leaves up in the back yard while I washed our sheets and finished cleaning up from the night before. By the time Jeremy got through with the back yard it was dark so we came in and got showered and ready for a movie night. We decided to watch the new Fast Five cause we wanted to hear how our new surround sound sounded. We loved it:)

I am back in Carthage for two days and will go back to Kosciusko Wednesday after work to watch the ACM awards with Jeremy :) December 3 cant get here fast enough I am loving our lil home together. My mom gave me my great grandparents first bed room suite. I am hoping to redo it and maybe paint but I am so scared to do it cause I have never done anything like that. Have any of you ever redone furniture before?? Some of the wood is peeling off of it but I just cant throw it away cause I am a sucker for antique furniture. Is that weird?? I am a cheap person if you want to give me something trust me I can find some where to use it. I am not cheap when it comes to other people though I will drop moneyin a heart beat to make someone else happy.

What did everybody else do this weekend? I have got to order a card reader for my computer but as soon as I do I will upload pictures. I have tried to upload some from my iphone but I couldnt figure that out. I know I am not good with this technology sorry.
