it's ok thursday.

what do ya know, another link up!
this one is fun and i've actually done it before, but did not link up when i did!

Its Ok Thursdays
it's ok...

... that i'm getting yet another filling on monday. i'm done after this one though, thank God! note to self- do NOT ignore the dentist for another 5 years.

... that i have 105,204,9682 weddings this season and even though i love good friends, free booze, and getting all dolled up- it also reminds me i'm a little behind in the whole "settling down" phase. whatevs.

... that i've only worked out once this week. i'm blaming it on my awful cold.

... that i ate dinner at 9 last night because my antibiotics for said cold have to be taken with a full stomach and 12 hours apart, which puts me at 9oclock. ugh.

... that my momma's driving up to take me shopping for this weekend's wedding after work today because i really don't feel good enough to drive alone :)

... that i'm pale. i'm working on it though thanks to jergens self tan & a few days in the sun! hey, at least i won't be leather in 20 years!

... that i already want to change my blog design, again. and it might just happen today.

... that i'm completely and utterly obsessed with say yes to the dress: bridesmaids because i'm im-patiently waiting on our episode to air. more on that story to come.

what's okay with you today?
TGI-T!!

WILW.

WILW- what i'm loving wednesday, just in case you didn't catch on.
just a few things i'm diggin at the moment...

this website-
PicMonkey
pretty much my new obsession. if you were a picnik lover like myself then you should definitely mosey on over here and check out this great new alternative.
since picnik went down the shitter and all.

this song-
i know, i know, it's the song from the victoria's secret commercial. but it's been on repeat for days now.

maxi skirts- all of them.

this show-
GCB. someone just told me it was short for Good Christian Belles. but i don't believe them. it's really short for Good Christian Bitches. and it's hilarious.
it comes on ABC Sunday nights at 10pm.

that's all for now.
i'm still fighting off this ferocious cold and my emergen-c is running low.
happy hump day friends!

saving grace.

let's talk allergies and colds. 
they suck, do they not?
well i woke up this morning feeling like complete shoo shoo.
sore throat, headache, body aches- you name it.
i'm not one to call out of work though, unless i'm vomming my head off, so to work i went.
as soon as i could take my 15 minute break this morning though i was out the door and into the neighboring food lion to pick up this saving grace...


first let me tell you that i was so out of i actually swiped my food lion MVP card instead of my debit card at the register. it doesn't work just so you know. and you might get a crazy look from the cashier.

if you have never used emergen-c, well let's just say you're dumb. and totes missin out.
every time i start to feel even the slightest bit sick i down one of these bad boys.
it's basically just a powder you pour into your water- somewhat like crystal light- and drink up!
it's jam packed with 24 nutrients, 7 B vitamins, and 1,000 mg of vitamin c.
hellooooo heaven!

immediately after i drank one this morning i started feeling better.
i still wasn't feeling my best by the end of the work day though, so i downed another one as soon as i got home. 
i may or may not be vitamin c drunk and trying to clean my entire apartment...
but i can promise you i feel ten times better.
so this spring if you start feeling a little off- make sure you stock up on these babies! 
i promise the whopping $4 is worth it and will probably save you from a visit to your doc.

happy tuesday,
j.

is this bad?

time for another linkup!
this time with the super cute taylor grace over at the daily tay.
i prefer the funnies. and this girl has me crackin up on the reg!

the daily tay

is this bad:
that i just checked under my bed and in my closets at LEAST 3 times before crawling into bed tonight? yes, i'm still scared of the boogey-man.

is this bad:
that i just bought my most recent jeep in november and i'm already making plans to sell it?

is this bad:
that i still think the scariest movie. OF. ALL. TIME. is "willy wonka and the chocolate factory"? for real- the new and old versions scare me senseless.

is this bad:
to almost delete your facebook on a daily basis because everyone around you is getting married,
having babies, or causing drama?

is it bad:
that i could care less about my week ahead and am solely thinking about my weekend coming up?

is it bad:
that i have a problem with wearing an outfit i already have pictures in? i seriously feel like i have to go shopping right before any new occasion. sorry bank account.

goodbye monday.

recap.

sheesh- what a weekend!!
i absolutely LOVE my sorority sisters.
but i was again reminded that i am NOT in college anymore.
i seriously have laid on the couch most of the day today trying to recover.
i did somehow make it to the grocery store... but hungover grocery shopping should be illegal.
i somehow came home with pickled beets. i hate pickled beets.

anywho...
i cannot even begin to express how much fun i had seeing my sisters this weekend.
it's amazing how we can go months, or even years, without seeing one another 
and once we do it's like no time has passed at all. 
we pick up right where we left off, every time.

saturday was our big day.
we had a meet and greet/open house at the DZ house on campus at noon, then carried our happy butts to our old mexican stomping grounds- el pac for lunch and drinks. 
somehow we managed to make it back to the house to get ready and get to the banquet by 6. ok so maybe we were a little late. whatevs.
afterwards we just HAD to go to omalleys. 
we spent countless nights shutting that place down when we were still in school so it's kind of a given that we have to end up there when we're all back in town.
and we may or may not have taken over the band's station to plug in my phone and play "dixieland delight"... i mean what band doesn't know the best alabama song ever made??
as DZs we kind of changed the words to say "with my DZ girls tonight" instead of dixieland delight. nbd.

as usual, yours truly tried to snap as many pictures as possible. 
here are just a few from saturday- and yes i did have 3 different outfits on in one day.
missing them all already.

50th.

excuse me while i scream with excitement over my saturday night...
wwweeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
(i hope you imagined the geico pig, because i did)

this weekend i've travelled my happy butt back to my alma mater and celebrating my sorority's
50th year on the campus of western carolina university!!
woo hoo!!
we usually all get together in october for homecoming, but this is different.
this is all about us.
not only do i get to see all of my favorite sisters, my trainwreck family, and my best friends. i also get to meet 50 years of delta zeta alumna that are travelling hundreds of miles to celebrate together.
this is big people.

i've never really blogged about my love for delta zeta, mainly because there is no way to put it into words. but i seriously don't think i would have made it through college without those girls.



i'm not gonna even try and get all sappy on here.
i'm actually gonna go pretend that i'm back in college now.
don't worry- 5 hour energys and excedrin were the first to be packed.


xoxo.
