My sweet had all 4 of his wisdom teeth pulled on Friday. Its been a weekend of soft foods, netflix through the Wii and me sleeping in our bed alone while Derek found comfort in our over-sized chair.
The very talented Amy over at Haha. Wait What? has tagged me in the 8 Questions Game.
The rules are simple:
Answer the 8 questions, come up with 8 new questions, tag 8 people. Easy.
And here are her eight questions:
1. If you could change your name to anything - what would you change it to?
I used to really hate my name- when I was younger it stuck out and that wasnt cool but now that Im older its fun to be different. I think I can honestly say Id rather not change my name.
2. If you could watch only one movie for the rest of your life - what movie would you choose?
Its tough to only pick one, but Id say Ace Ventura- or Dumb and Dumber.
3. If money were no object and you could move to anywhere in the world - where would you go?
Id like to live on the water, either a lake here in Texas, the beaches in California or even one of the Carolinas and of course there is always Rhode Island where I could live next door to my Sarah.
4. What is your favorite animal and why?
I love love love dogs but have always wanted to snuggle a koala bear.
5. What is your dream job?
Ive got it. I make my own schedule, dont sit behind a desk, make decent money and get paid bonuses based on my monthly sales and I have a free car and all of its maintenance.
6. If you were a bad guy- would you rather be interrogated by Jack Bauer or Jack Bristow?
I dont know either of them except that ones from 24...?
7. If you could meet any celebrity (dead or alive) - who would you want to meet?
Chelsea Handler and Bethenny Frankel- I cant chose between the two PLEASE dont make me!
8. How do you pronounce the word crayon? Do you say cray-on or crown?

Im (majorly) ashamed to admit Ive been re-watching Laguna Beach. Not only does it make me feel awkward and uncomfortable more often than not but it made me remember a very odd feeling I remember so well.
The most recent episode I watched was when all the older kids (in Laurens class) come home for Christmas and hang out with each other as well as the current senior class at their Alma matter. I.e. Lauren and Kristen resume feuding over Stephen- lame.
Do you guys remember how weird it sometimes felt to be home from school during summer, Christmas, Easter or heaven forbid spring break (way uncool)? Sure it was nice to be in your “own” bed, get to spend time with your parents, not have to save each and every quarter you came across for laundry and you got to see your friends youd missed your entire first semester but it also felt odd- our of place even. Your home no longer felt like your home.
Your best friends were still your best friends but you found yourself missing your new college friends. You laughed at things nobody else understood because they were inside jokes you made with your roommate or suitemate. Your parents made you feel a little guilty if you didn’t balance time with them versus time with the friends you were dying to see and catch up with. You secretly missed your college bed and if you lived in a dorm, it was a twin. My dorm? Was co-ed and AWESOME. You didn’t know how it was possible to miss your messy pot-luck roommate. Many of the activities in your hometown felt a little bit amateur or silly. You had to see your ex and while it was bittersweet, lets be honest, youd rather see that boy you have been crushing on from your intro to MassComm class instead.
I moved back to the city I grew up in after college and still live here. I still pass by my high school and can smell the hallways. I can see the chalk boards and feel the band playing at pep rallies before I stepped onto the floor to dance. I can remember Fridays and how they held so much possibility for what may come after the football games. I remember feeling like all my emotions couldn’t possibly ever feel more intense: the friendships, the heartache, the laughter, the tears and the goodbyes.
Watching Laguna Beach- witnessing these kids (again) stumble through what they determined to be life altering decisions makes me remember how silly I was when I was 17. If only I knew then what I know now… it really makes me chuckle.
My sweet is getting all four of his wisdom teeth out on Friday. I apparently had very little wisdom and only had one and it needed to be pulled. I had a much swifter recovery than I expect him to have and plan to stock up on lots of soft/chewless foods for him.
What did you eat? What did you hate?
On a related note- when I had my tonsils out in college, I was assured over and over there would be very little in my immediate future besides ice cream. That. Was. A. lie.
My wonderful fiance sent me this poem today. It made my heart melt. 133 days until were man and wife.
You are my description of love
You are my description of friend
You are my description of everything
You are my description of beginning to end.
You have put me on a pedestal
You make me feel ten feet tall
You've always been there for me
You've loved me through it all.
You've stood by me through thick and thin
You've always been patient and kind
Just thought I'd let you know
You're the owner of this heart of mine.
So you ask how long I'll love you
Well this is what I have to say
Past, present, future, always
Forever and a day!
Any of you out there that watch Teen Mom noticed Amber is half her previous size lately? Think its due to her completely dysfunctional relationship? Or her depression/anxiety meds? Either way… the girl is skinny!!
Within 30 minutes of my last (whiney, bitchy) post, I looked out my window and saw the most amazing sight. Its as if my prayer was answered- just like that!
Its mind blowing how hot it is here in Texas. I know that’s pretty much the most obvious thing I could possibly post but its absolutely unreal. Growing my hair out for our wedding mixed with daily hot yoga on top of a job that keeps me in and out of my car over and over all day long makes for a miserable, sweaty girl. I decided to switch it up from my normal yoga routine and walked a lake near our house the other day. 50 minutes later I had an AWFUL sunburn and had a headache from borderline heatstroke. Im sick of facebook posts with pictures of inside car temperatures, people talking about it everywhere I go, the weatherman warning us all to stay inside and drink lots of fluids, the heavy humidity and I am so sick of sweating. Fall and Winter, where are you? Please hurry up and show your face!
I had an amazing birthday. I was showered with love not just on the day but all week long. Rather than bore you with details, I will show you the week in pictures.
I made a fun summery meal for dinner Monday and wanted to share. Derek is not a huge salmon fan so I have to doctor it up quite a bit for him to give it a shot. I present to you- Salmon BLTs:
What you will need:
4- 2 oz skinless salmon filets
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Country bread (I used Pepperidge farm whole wheat and toasted it)
Mayonnaise
Lettuce
Tomato
Bacon
- season the salmon filets with salt and pepper- cook in olive oil on medium-high heat until opaque (2-3 minutes per side)
