That is how I feel right now. I can't get in a good mood. Here are my current worries/problems:
1) My boobs itch
2) I can't seem to figure out if I am hot or cold
3) People are annoying me
4) People are causing drama
5) I have so much wedding planning to get done
6) Alex isn't really helping much
7) I don't want to be at work
I am sure there are tons more....
Ugh.

It's Friday...but....
I am so annoyed. I am pms and annoyed at the world. Driving to work was horrible. I think I got behind every damn idiot. Seriously. One guy decided it would be a smart idea to slam on his breaks to see something in the road while on the Loop (kinda like a two lane freeway). Then this older woman decided she would take her damn time making a turn. That pisses me off more than anything..."TURN ALREADY!" Seriously people!!!
Phew. I feel a little better now. Just little things are setting me off. I kinda snapped at my best friend Kelli over email for something really stupid this morning and now I feel horrible. My hopes for my bachelorette party was to keep it small and with only really close friends/family. A few friends invited a couple others that I had not originally invited which I kinda got upset about. Mind you, this wouldn't have happened if I weren't about to start my period. I am a raging hormone mess! I cried this morning watching Animal Planet. There was a dancing dog (yes, I know) and I started bawling. This never happens to me!! Getting of birth control has really screwed up my system. I haven't started yet. Wednesday would have been 28 days and I am now at 30. I just hope I start!
Back to the bachelorette party...I know I was wrong. The more the merrier. It will be a blast no matter what and I should be blessed that I have so many people coming to hang out. I think so far there is a total of 11 or 12 which is awesome! I will get off of my high horse and stop being bridezilla. Sorry friends!
Alex got home last night and I was so happy to see his face. Even though it was only 2 days...that was enough for me! We had a totally chill night. I tanned before I went home, jumped on the ellipitical for 25 minutes, made dinner and then planted my ass in front of the tv with my honey. We watched Snow Angels which was pretty lame. I ended up falling asleep (suprise, suprise) and didn't finish it, but I saw most of it.
Back to working on horrible notes (Evidentiary and Argument Outline for an Appeal) - barf....

Soooooo tired...
I got no sleep last night. Maybe a total of 2 hours. Ugh. I do NOT want to be at work today, but I will get through it. Whining the entire way, lol...sorry Leslie.
Wedding planning is moving along. I got our updated Event Confirmation Order from my wedding coordinator today. I got goosebumps while I was reviewing it. It had our day of schedule:

5:20 p.m. Bridal party processional
5:30 p.m. Ceremony
5:50 p.m. Recessional
5:55 p.m. Group transitions to beach for group shot on the sand
6:00 - 7:00 p.m. Cocktail hour served on Tortugas Beach Bar. Hotel to break-down ceremony setting and finalize reception setup by moving tables over and Couple to take personal, family and bridal party photos during this time.
7:10 p.m. Bridal party introduction
7:20 p.m. Immediate intro to couple's first dance (this will change to after dinner)
7:35 p.m. Dinner begins
8:15 p.m. Toasts by Best Man and Maid of Honor
8:30 p.m. Cake cutting
8:35 p.m. DJ changes to party music!
9:30 p.m. Bouquet and Garter toss

10:25 p.m. Bar to close
10:25 p.m. Last Dance
10:30 p.m. Music cut-off
11:00 p.m. Wedding Consultant leaves
How exciting huh?! I am sooooooo excited. Seeing it broken down like this makes me want to jump up and down. LOL! I know, I am a dork. We also figured out table decorations, linens, ceremony set-up...YAY!
I can't believe in 8 days I will be on my way to California. I.can't.wait! I don't know much about what we are doing...for some reason it is all a big secret/suprise. haha. I just want to be there already.
Alex is out of town. He left yesterday to Nashville and will be coming home tomorrow. He is hanging out with Nickelback. Jerk. lol. I am jealous! He is going to their concert tonight which sounds like a blast. We will be going to Dallas in April to see them, so I am not too bummed that I am missing out. Having Alex out of town really sucks, but it is also kind of nice. I don't have to worry about making dinner which is great, and the house stays clean. ha! I sure miss him though. I am guessing part of the reason I couldn't sleep last night was because he was gone. Sucks.
So today I should start my period (hey, I told you I was going to use this to track trying to get pregnant!). Today would be 28 days. I hope I start. This will be my first period off of birth control. I am just hoping my body decides to listen to me. If all works out my periods will come back normal and it will hopefully make trying for a baby in less than three months easier for us. That is the plan anyways, and from the way my plans work out...this won't work.
I realize that I have not posted any pictures and a blog without pictures is no fun, so I will have to take pictures soon and put them up.
K...I am going to crawl under my desk and pass out now....

Monday...boo...
I detest Mondays. Ugh. I have the hardest time getting up when the alarm goes off. The rest of the week I am usually fine, but Mondays suck. Period.
So, as I mentioned previously, Alex and I plan on trying to get pregnant in May. Yes, I know. We are getting married in May. We decided that we don't want to wait any longer. We are both so ready. Since we have been together 7 years (next month, wow)...why put off the inevitable? We are being told by a few people that we should wait and enjoy being married for awhile. What is the rush? That is so annoying! Who cares what we plan to do? Yes, maybe you waited and did the "right thing," but who is to say what we are doing is the "wrong thing?" Anyways...
One of the main reasons I started this blog was to a) keep everyone back in California up to date, but also b) to have somewhere to post about my pregnancy. I was inspired to do this from my friend Megan. I think it is such an amazing thing to have when the little one is much older. To have a "diary" of what I was going though seems like such a neat (yes I said neat) thing to have. So, I will be posting about trying to get pregnant (not in so many details, ha) and then eventually about being pregnant. I am excited. Alex is really excited too (not about this blog - haha). He can't wait to be a dad.
My bachelorette party is in 11 days! Wow! I can't freaking wait.

Friday...joyous Friday!
I am so excited it is Friday. It was actually a pretty fast week come to think about it. I like when that happens. I can't tell you how happy I am to sleep in tomorrow. I usually wake up before the alarm clock during the week and am generally a "morning person," but waking up early for work...just sucks sometimes. Yay for sleeping in!
Last night Alex and I had such a nice time. It is really nice to just get to hang out and enjoy each others company. He had decided that since he had kind of a crappy day at work he wanted to get out of the house which was toally perfect by me! We went to dinner at my favorite restaurant, Abuello's. I usually get the worst thing on the menu (the greasy yummy nachos), but since I had just got done working out and had worked out all week, I didn't want to cheat. So, I had a chicken salad, but then pretty much ruined it with all the chips I had. MMMMM.
After dinner we went to the mall. The mall here sucks. I wouldn't even call it a mall. It is an enclosed area with a few shops. I really miss California shopping malls where you can go and spend hours at all the different stores. We were in and out in about 40 minutes. The only reason we were there so long is because Alex got a new shirt at Old Navy and the line was long. LOL. I also got robbed at a salon. As we were stolling by I saw a sign that said, "50% off of Tigi products" I was ALL for that!! I went in and got three items figuring it was cheap. No. I read it wrong. It was buy one get one 50%. Whatever.
We tried to watch a movie last night, but he put in some Star Wars animated crap and we both couldn't watch it. It was just lame. He had started watching Dancing with Wolves the night before, so he just popped that in and I ALMOST finished it and crashed out on the couch as usual.
Tonight I am going to stop by Autumn's house on the way home for a beer (or two) and some good ol' girl talk. I haven't seen her in what feels like forever! I usually get to see her about 2 times a week, if not more, but she has been busy with work. I am happy I get to have some "Autumn time" tonight though.
My bachelorette party in California is in 2 weeks and I cannot wait!! I am really excited to see everyone. I have been missing home more than anything lately, so this trip is coming at the perfect time. I can't wait to have some wine!!! LOL. I have a horribly early flight out of Midland (5:30), but that means I get into San Diego at 9:30 am which is freaking awesome! Kelli is picking me up and then we are driving (she is driving, bless her) all the way up to Glendora to have lunch with my mom and aunt Lynn Lynn. That should be really nice. Then back to Oceanside to stay the night at her house. I love staying at her house. It is so peaceful and her kids are amazing. I am thinking we will just have a relaxing night. Saturday is when the real fun starts! Wine, friends, talking, good food, nice hotel, casino, sun....ahh...it all sounds so amazing. C'mon March 6th! It can't come soon enough!

I read this on someones blog...
I think it is interesting...
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all of his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!

It's almost Friday!!
I had a smile on my way to work. The entire way. I love those mornings when I am just happy. I was listening to Band of Horses, which reminds me of Alex. Last Friday night when we were hanging out having "us" time we put on Band of Horses and danced in the kitchen together. I love when that happens. We have done that a few times mostly to our first dance song (The Shadow of Your Smile by Frank Sinatra), and it makes me want to cry everytime from shear happiness. I know, sappy, right? Anyways...
I completed my third week back at Body Pump last night. It is so nice to be back! I had been going for almost a year when my back got really bad. I thought it was the class, so I stopped going. Thankfully I found out it was just the birth control! I love this class! After the first day back I couldn't walk. I could barely even sit down to use the restroom. It was horrible. By the second week, I was ok, sore, but ok. This past week I felt great!! I am a little sore today (mostly my triceps), but it is the good kind of hurt. The kind of hurt that reminds you that you worked out and it feels good because you know it is working. I already feel stronger in just three weeks which is so weird.
I went to lunch with my old co-workers/friends from the Chamber (Convention and Visitors Bureau). Gosh I miss them. It was so nice to see their faces. I loved that job so much. Almost as much as I loved working at CGU, which is really saying a lot. We went to this really cool place called the Eattique. It was decorated with all kinds of antiques. The tables were all old dining room tables and the food wasn't that bad. It was just nice hanging out with them. I miss them so much. One hour wasn't nearly enough time to catch up. I think I talked the entire time about the wedding and plans to have babies. They must be thinking, "my gosh, SHUT UP!" LOL! Sorry girls!

Yay for Hump Day!
I was so happy when I woke up this morning that it is halfway to Friday! This week has gone by quickly so far, but now that I said that I am sure it will come to a hault. Most of the shareholders from the firm are out today which is really nice. It is quiet, but also a bit boring. I have a few things to do, but not many. So, it's time to blog! LOL!
This weekend we have a reception for my co-worker/friend who just recently got married. I am looking forward to it. We also need to get to Men's Warehouse sometime this weekend to figure out what the guys are going to wear for the wedding. Something we probably should have done awhile ago, but at least it is getting done now.
Last weekend Alex and I had an amazing time together. Friday night I stopped and picked up some Heinekin's and Stella's because Alex had a bad day at work. He ended up making us dinner which was SO nice for a change. I hate worrying about dinner every night. So getting a night off was really enjoyable. He made us really yummy turkey wraps (mmmm). Then we decided that a fire outside with the hooka sounded like a great idea. It was amazing. It was a little chilly out, but the fire made it perfect. Alex set up the hooka and we smoked that, drank beers and talked for a long time. We hadn't done that in so long which was really nice. After sitting outside for awhile we decided to go back in and continued talking till after midnight. We tried to watch a movie then, but we were so tired we just went to bed.
Saturday was Valentine's day which was really nice. He had already given me my present a couple days early because he couldn't wait. It was adorable. He got me a new laptop which I had been wanting for a long time. I love it. We didn't do cards this year which was kinda weird, but oh well. I forgot to pick one up the day before! Opps! We lounged around most of the day and then went to Best Buy, Game Stop, Blockbuster and then to HEB (the grocery store here). We got stuff to make a super yummy dinner and then headed hope. By this time it was getting kinda late so we started dinner. I love cooking together. That is one of my favorite things to do together. We made Fried "baked" Chicken, Loaded Mashed Potatoes and No Pudge Brownies. Dinner was simply amazing, but dessert was the best part. I took the brownies right out of the oven and then put chocolate brownie frozen yogurt on top with cool whip, chopped pecans and sugar-free carmel surup. WOW! It was so amazing. We ended up watching City of Ember which was a really cute movie while enjoying our insanely amazing dessert. I was so freaking stuffed!
Sunday was just pure laziness! It was really nice. I didn't clean the whole house like I usually do every weekend which was a nice little break. I have my work cut out for me this weekend though. Joy. At least I get to have a few drinks on Saturday night. I better get all my cleaning done Saturday morning because I know I won't want to do anything on Sunday!!

Lucky...
I have been thinking lately about how lucky I am. I am sometimes afraid to admit it because I fear that something will happen and take it away. I know, I know. But I do. I really want to shout it from the roof tops! So I decided that I am no longer going to worry about stupid stuff like that and tell the world -- or the one person that reads my blog! LOL!
I have been thinking about how lucky I am to have found such an amazing man. Alex is the most amzing man in the world. No, really. Well, okay, but he is the most amazing man to me. Here are 50 reasons why he is so amazing:
1) He treats me like a princess
2) He makes me feel special
3) He can always make me laugh
4) He can cheer me up with just a hug
5) He is romantic
6) He always tells me he loves me (multiple times a day)
7) He always tells me the truth, even if I don't want to hear it
8) He can cook
9) He always makes every holiday memorable
10) He asked me to marry him!
11) He doesn't mind shopping with me and never complains about it
12) He goes to the grocery store with me

I need to vent!
Some people amaze me. Some people are so self involved that they can't see the big picture. I don't get how these individuals can be so rude. The bad thing about it is they will never get it. They will never realize that people can't stand them because they are this way. Sometimes I think I can ignore their attitudes, their fake conversation or their brown nosing, but then there are days like today where I want to f'ing scream at them. But I won't because I am better than they are. They will always be pieces of shit, ha-ha! K, I feel better now.

Crazy Birth Control!
I recently stopped my birth control. We are really excited about starting a family soon (we plan on starting to try in May), but the main reason I took it out so soon was because of the side effects I was having! I have been on Nuvaring for around 5 years or so. I can't remember exactly when I started, but it has been a long time. In April of this year my lower back started to hurt. It wasn't horrible, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable. I had thought it was my workout class, Body Pump. I kept going to the class and thought it would just heal itself, but it never did. Finally I stopped going to the class and went to the doctor who told me that I had just strained my back really bad. He gave me vicodin and sent me on my way. After another couple months of now intense pain I went back and was ordered to get x-rays done. Nothing showed up and I was ordered to try Physical Therapy. At this point I am in so much pain I was in tears at work from sitting. Oh, I also tried a chiropracter before the second visit back to the doctor - and nothing. I went to physical therapy for two weeks (a total of 6 times) and it did nothing. She had told me that I should start feeling better after two weeks, but it felt the same. I was starting to feel like nothing was going to work. She had told me that she thought it might be a disk problem and the only way to find out was with a cat scan. My insurance here isn't that great and it would have cost me $2500 min. out of pocket! AH! Who has that kind of money laying around? I knew if things didn't change I would have to suck it up. Since we want to try to get pregnant soon, having lower back problems would make things horrible.
One day I decided to do some research on how long it took some girls getting off of the Nuvaring to get pregnant. I came across a forum of women talking about their experience with the Nuvaring and how many of them had back problems! I about fell out of my chair. I couldn't believe it. Some of the women's experience were almost identical to mine. So, I talked to Alex that night and told him what I had thought. I printed out tons of stuff in case he didn't believe me - haha! I was thinking he would think it was a ploy to get pregnant sooner. Of course he told me to take it out because my health comes first. I waited till that Sunday when I was supposed to take it out anyways, and guess what!? Two weeks later I have no back pain. It started to feel better after only 5 days with it out which was insane. Today I feel great. There is some occasional pain, but NOTHING like it was. I went back to Body Pump (the best class ever!) and besides not being able to walk from my muscles being so damn sore...I am fine! I can't tell you how exciting this is!

So ready for the weekend!!
I am SO happy it is Friday! It was a really fast week though. We were really busy! I am ready to sleep in tomorrow!
Wedding planning is getting better. I am taking a new approach at everything and am not stressing, and it seems to be working out pretty well. I realize that everything will work out and come together. We booked our flights! That was reallllly exciting. I am working on the invites, which is turning out to be a little more difficult that usual. We hope to have the order placed by Monday though.
We got our new couch! This isn't the best picture, but you get the idea. We are going this weekend to find curtains to put up on all the windows, which should really help the room out a lot.
I hate the wall color, but we are just going to deal with it. I think with window treatments it will look a lot better.
Alex and I are off to have our "date night," more later....
