Touch the Sky.

It's Tuesday and I haven't done a TTT in awhile so here we go:

 

T. I have the strangest luck with getting jobs. It seems that in life I'm not allowed to be without one (which is a blessing) and if I go on a job interview...it's pretty much guaranteed I got it. I think most of the success comes from the love of doing interviews, it's like the funnest challenge to "sell" myself to another person. I will tell you exactly what you need to hear in order for me to land that job..oh and I'm a hard worker too that could help out as well.

 There has only been one time that I went out on an interview and I didn't get it. I wasn't "dressed" right for a makeup counter and to be honest I think I did it on purpose and just didn't care.

 So, I brush that one off.. I didn't want to put make up on strangers faces anyways!



TT. When we moved to Seattle we got new phones.. excuse me IPHONES and I love it but now I'm addicted to words with friends. I play every. single. day. It's getting a little out of hand but I swear I'm getting smarter by playing. So as of today...this addiction is deemed okay.

PS. Cunt is not a word... thanks for letting me know that MOM.
Hahahahaha

TTT. I used to be a Raver/KandyKid/dance machine.
However, Techno is ALIVE and WELL in Seattle! All of the girls that I work with at my new job love techno and you just have no idea how excited that makes me. I can't wait to fill my ipod up with all the new suggestions from them and can't WAIT to start going out and dancing all night like I did in my younger days! Ahh, the good ole days of 2006 are coming back in full force my friends.. FULL FORCE.

Que the OLD ASS Rave pictures:




R.I.P Nola State Palace

TTT!

Moving is so crazy I don't even know where to start.

 Everyone's trying to spend time with us before we go (which is totally sweet but exhausting), Chad is boxing up my entire life, and having panic attacks daily. I just realized that this time next week would be my last night in my bed at my first home with my husband. Bittersweet my friends, Bittersweet. I swear even through this craziness I will try and focus more on blogging everyday so that I can catch all of these memories we are making. I'm going to shoot out a quick Triple Tangent Tuesday almost on a Wednesday but I made it before Midnight! A shout out to Laura over at MyNewestAddiction for jointing the TTT club!

T. I am driving across the country on the 10th with my husband, mother, furbaby, and my best friend Haley. We might all hate each other after this but I can't even begin to explain at how excited I am for this extreme road trip!

It's been brought to my attention that we are moving to the, "farthest place in the continental US that we could get away from Laurel, MS." Well, we didn't consider that in our planning nor did we anticipate people to be offended by it. All I can do is laugh and say, "I'll be home for Christmas" and hey... there's a little bit of Washington further out than Kirkland!

TT. I really Really REALLY don't like the disorder that moving brings.

Is it just me or does that look like a dildo fell outta that box?

TTT. Saturday night I made delicious snacks for some friends:

Cheese stuffed Cresent Rolls, Pesto Pinwheels, and Pigs in a Blanket.

Eat your heart out Paula.

 

Google stolen.

------------------------------------------------------

That's all I have for tonight folks.

 If you're new to my site I promise I'm not usually this lame; follow me anyways.

PS. I did a 5k Sunday at my gym, ya know not in an actual race but on a treadmill. It went pretty good and I'm going to try and keep on running while moving...but this is going to be hard and take a lot of willpower to want to workout while we are on the road and not just drive and eat chocolate and french fries the whole time. MUST USE WILLPOWER.

Anyone have any tips on how to be on the road traveling/moving and how to eat/stay healthy?

Oh and remember if you are living in Seattle and reading this leave me a damn comment and be my damn friend. I swear I won't kill you, rape you, or steal your shit.

NO CHAD NO!

Ya know how I talked about how awesome Chad was in that last post?

 Well, I might kill him today but I guess that's just what love is like: Love um one day, Kill them the next. You see, CK was off from work today and wanted to start packing (he is extremely excited and losing control of reality) and the only thing I told him was

DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING OFF OF THE WALLS! 

I came home to this on my lunch break and the rest of my EMPTY walls!

I also came home to his toys that were put up in our storage space spread out in the middle of the living room. He was "going through them" I call it playing. I married a giant child.

Masters of the Universe, TMNT, & Ghostbusters used as an X-Men house

This brings me to my first random fact about me today on this glorious Triple Tangent Tuesday: I can't handle bare walls! (That sounds kinda dirty but you know what I mean) I feel like I'm in a prison if there is nothing on my walls. There has to be something: art, posters, pictures, jewels, SOMETHING other than ripped off paint chunks!!! We aren't leaving until October 6th... I'm going to flip out and murder beat my husband. Which brings me to my next random fact:

The girl that rented us our apartment in Seattle looks like Amber Portwood from Teen Mom but skinnier and bleached blond! (I hope to God she doesn't read this one day and hate me) She was a super sweet girl and I'm sure she would never beat her man in front of her daughter but I swear that girl had me doing double takes!

Imagine her with Bleach Blond Hair!

Oh my God. I was just Googling to snatch that Image of Ms. Portwood and found this picture of her tattoo portrait of Leah! WTF were you thinking Amber? That shit is whack!

That's just COO COO!

Ps. CK & I are watching the finale RIGHT NOW and Gary just played guitar and sang a song to Amber. Haha she of course yelled at him and he hung up. CK is pissed he just got nation airtime playing a song. LOL gotta love my Teen Mommas.

The next random thing in my life has nothing to do with the previous facts and isn't really a fact at all but instead something that was so sweet it made my day go from crappy to amazing. It's so funny how when you question the choices you make in life and start to doubt yourself the universe just has a way of letting you know you're doing just fine. Tonight a girl that I went to college with and always thought of as a total bad ass (way to cool to be my friend) completely shocked me with this message:



First off I can't believe anyone even reads my blog MUCH less that it actually means something to them. I do this blog because I love it, I knew my life would be one crazy mash up of things this year and I wanted to keep track of it. I needed another creative outlet besides painting and I wanted to make new friends along the way. Little did I realize it would bring me closer to friends I already have! I'm such a loser with words sometimes that all I could say back is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and that made my day so much better. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am and how many good people I have met in this lifetime and that's something I want to never look over. People are what I want to cherish and enjoy each day; not things, not money but adventures and experiences with the people I love and I just love sharing the awesome people I know with the world! On another note I totally sucked at the whole exercise thing today after my meltdown about the empty walls. Like serious meltdown that I had to feed no bake cookies to until I calmed down. Sheesh, I can't wait to move and be jobless so I can go to the gym 2 times a day and get Olsen Twin skinny. (ha ha ha ha) But until then I will wake up and do 2 miles in the morning. I really didn't want to but geeze that FB message made me want to get off my cookie ass and go run! Thanks McKenzie!

What things make you go absolutely CRAZY on your partner/spouse?

Do you know anyone that looks like a Teen Mom?



Wakey Wakey, Eggs & Bakey!

Hi there! I see I have a lot more traffic today thanks to SkinnyRunner! Be sure to Follow me and I hope you enjoy!!! Oh, and leave a comment below that I can return the Following love.
--------------------------------------------------------

This morning I woke up at 5:30am for a nice workout pre-work (it was an ugly 2 miles) and now I'm just gonna go ahead and jump head first into Tuesday with a little randomness (TripleTangentTuesday):

In the words of the joker,



T. I really don't like Mexican food. (GASP!) Yes, it's true I hear everyone around me all of the time get excited about going to Mexican and they just can't wait for some chips and salsa with a salty margarita to wash it all down. Well, I don't like salsa, and margaritas give me heartburn now. (I guess I'm to old for that shit now because I used to drink ritas all the time.) I don't like shredded chickens/meats, I don't like corn tortillas, I don't like sour cream, I don't like chili peppers, I don't like guacamole, and I don't like a 100 other things at those damn restaurants! I could eat Italian all day, I can eat Chinese food, I love Greek food, and of course good ole southern cookin'. Me and Mexico though, I just don't like you. (Granted I love going on vacations to you but I'm not down with all of your crazy food flavors.) There are only a few things that I eat when my husband (who is OBSESSED with Mexican food) makes me go. If one of those rare occasions where I'm trying to be sweet and let him eat what he wants occurs I only eat from the following options: chips and cheese dip, regular meat tacos, PLAIN tamales (no sauce), and cheese quesadillas (JUST CHEESE ONLY). That's it. My whole life... the whole almost five years I've been with my hubs this is all I choose from. So, the other night when I was trying to be nice and said we could order takeout Mexican and bring it back to the house and watch movies what do I tell him I want?

1 tamale and 1 cheese quesadilla.

What does he order?

1 tamale 1 cheese enchilada.

WTF!?

How do you get these 2 things confused?

Cheese enchilada? Ewww

Cheese Quesadilla.

(I had to make this one myself at home that night)

It's at this moment in our relationship where I ask, "Do you even know me?!"

We almost got divorced, but then I realized how stupid that would sound in court so, I decided to forgive him and demand that he make me a cheese quesadilla. Well, that lasted until he walked in the kitchen and went toward the microwave (the only thing he knows how to cook with) and I told him to get out I'd do it myself. He better be glad he's cute.

TT. I saw this quote on a friends Facebook page and I love it and wanted to share it with you:

"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
— Chuck Palahniuk (Choke)

He also wrote one of my all time favorites: Fight Club

TTT. I'm obsessed with breakfast foods lately. I will eat this for breakfast:

Oatmeal with: honey, cinnamon, walnuts, and Nutella

And then I'll end up eating this for Lunch: Eggs, turkey bacon, & toast

Not my actual meal or photo but you get the idea.

Seriously though, for the last week I've been knocking out 2 a day breakfastes and loving every bite.

Just don't ask me to go to Mexcian for dinner.

---------------------

Do you Hate or Love Mexican food?

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

My 100th Post!

How sweet! this marks 100 times that you have had to read something I wrote!

I'll be serving you up another dish of warm and juicy Triple Tangent Tuesday to wet your appetite for more posts soon to come.

T. I never brush my hair. I have been terrible at this since I was little, once my father got so mad at me for not brushing my hair he sent me to school with knots and tangles in it and I cried all the way running into the school. I remember being in the bathroom with my teacher trying to get the knots out and saying my daddy hates me because I don't brush my hair. As I grew up this lovely fashion of messy, wavy, curls happened and my life became beautiful again. (No more crying in the bathroom for me!) I don't have to brush my hair anymore...just spray a little lot of hairspray, toss around, and viola! sexy hair. Now, I'm not saying I NEVER ever ever brush my hair...because when I wear it straight - naturally I brush it. But if its not straight... you can bet. I didn't brush that stuff. 

I did recently purchase this gem to help me get over hating brushing my hair:

The Hair Bean

My product review: Pretty good but this thing wont last long...it's cheaply made maybe that's why I got one free. It does feel a lot better on my hair than a normal brush though - softer.

TT. I ran a 5k tonight after work (crazy I know) and got a PR accomplished! I came in under 40 mins at 38.40 - nothing worth getting a medal for but for me it was better than some stupid trophy. The run was absolutly amazing and I didn't even plan this 5k I went in wanting to make it threw 2 miles but I felt absolutly amazing so I kept going and then it turned into a 5k at a faster pace than ever!

Yay, accomplishment! Especially since this was my breakfast:

Granted it was only a small piece leftover from yesterday because I couldn't eat that monster in one sitting. Red Velvet Cheesecake = Heaven

Maybe I have figured out the key to my running!

Eating cheesecake for breakfast... gosh why couldn't I have figured that out earlier!

TTT. I don't like salads.

I like everything in a salad: cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, cheese, carrots, raisins, feta, Bacon bits, chicken, croutons, and I'm sure I'm leaving out other things but you get the idea. However, I hate them all mixed up together and I don't think I could ever eat that as a meal. I think it's because I like warm things mostly and I don't like the water from the green leafy option damping up everything else. I also am just not a fan of salad dressings, wondering why... because they are also cold. I like warm sauces...if it's cold I just feel like it needs to be warmed up. I'm a pretty weird eater and ya know what... screw it I'm not ashamed. I also can't stop spelling/writting the word bacon with two cc's, Get over it Terri there is only ONE damn C!  

Do you have any picky eater habits?

What makes you run the best?

It's another blog where you get to know a little more random information about yours truly!

T. I am in love with this commercial:

I can't stop singing it, I'm in love. I love Debbie Gibson and this totally makes me want to go buy some jeans at Old Navy. Well played Old Navy, Well played.

TT. I love to cook. I would spend all day in a kitchen whipping up things from scratch and enjoying eating them later if I could. By the way I HATE my kitchen. It is too small, ugly, annoying, and no matter how much Chad cleans it (because we all know I don't clean it) it's never clean! I can't wait to cook in a real kitchen, one where I can put all my appliances out and have actual COUNTER SPACE to use.

TTT. I remember when Facebook was only for those in college. I had just graduated from high school and was waiting to receive my student email from USM so I could create my account. Then about a year later (I think) they started letting high schools in, then everyone came through the door and now both my mother and father have one. I don't so much as mind them because they aren't nosey but God Facebook sucks now due to the nosey family members who I shall not name on there. By the way if you are reading this you should be ashamed of yourself and stop gossiping so much. I miss the days of poking and wall remarks filled with party announcements and the latest break/make ups going on around campus. The days where if you were tagged in a terrible drunk picture from the night that you don't remember, you don't have to worry about nosey family members seeing it and trying to put you in AA the next morning. The days where you didn't have to accept people on Facebook but now that your family is on there you can't just keep ignoring them or they WILL ask you at the dinner table on Easter "why you aren't friends yet." 

Also, be sure and check my blog tomorrow for a special Guest post by my partner from 20something bloggers 2011 Blog Swap!

Workout: Will be running bright and early tomorrow morning - had a really good run/workout both Saturday & Sunday and ready to go again tomorrow!

Hello Tuesday my old friend....

Here goes another round of TTT

T. I refuse to hand wash dishes. We currently live in a tiny apartment with a tiny kitchen and a nonexistent dishwasher. When I moved in with the hubs (the then boyfrand) I was highly upset by the realization that I would have to hand wash my own dishes. I am a princess and princesses do not hand wash dishes! That's just bullshit. So, the boyfrand and I talked and it was decided that princess would never have to wash a dish!

TT:  I am absolutely fascinated with how things work. Sometimes I sit in front of my computer and just look at it and wonder who in the world created this. How did someone put some wire and chips together and it creates this! I am typing letters and seeing pictures, I can talk to someone in Russia and see a video of anyone in the world. HOW IN THE HELL DOES THIS HAPPEN. It freaks me out and I have to make myself stop thinking about this or I will go nuts.

Kinda like the universe NEVER ENDS. EVER.

TTT:  I LOVE Pepperoni. It's my favorite pizza topping & favorite snack to pop in my mouth like chips. It is terribly fating and bad for you but I can't help myself. I did switch to Turkey Pepperoni and it tastes even BETTER to me than the regular. Maybe I won't kill myself to early since I switched...(at least that's what I tell myself.)

Baby Lucas is here!!!

So, I didn't get to run today--- BUT one of my best friends Marley had a baby and we went to see him!

Happy Birthday Lucas Turner Parnell!

You are perfect 7lbs 5oz & 21inches long

Sweet baby with a big crying baby. AKA ME.

I swear I wasn't trying to scare him

Those little hands were coming out to say hi

Chad with baby = me melting

I will throw in this Jewel of a story - Chad totally asked Marley when the baby's eyes open for the first time hahahah I almost died. They aren't puppies honeybaby they are humans and their eyes work immediately.

Matt the proud papa!

& Marley the proud proud Momma!!!

Congrats to Marley and Matt you made a beautiful baby and we couldn't be happier for you two!

We did however, almost die coming back home from the hospital. Chad decided to drive down the ONE WAY road almost the entire way back to the interstate... oh and we saw a black guy on a horse riding down 5th Avenue in downtown Laurel on the way home at 9:40pm. Just another day in the life of Terri.

-------------------------------------------

Oh, and Since it is Tuesday...

Here's another fantastic round of, "3 random things about Terri!" 

1. I am obsessed with reality TV. I watch the following every week:

Real Housewives (EVERY SINGLE SEASON)

Nice 80s prom dress Lorrie and Gretch what the hell are you wearing?

I miss Bethenny and I'm just about hating everyone else

OH no you didn't!

The queens of Beverly Hills

Who gonna check me boo?

I need MORE of Miami!

The Voice

The Challenge

Mob Wives

I love Drita.

Teen Mom

Oh girl.. you a hot mess.

Hi, My name is Ryan and I am a seeker.

This show is cray cray.

Oh, la la there's nothing like a Traveler wedding.

2. I snap my fingers a lot. Like when I want something - I snap. When I'm ready to go - I snap. When I'm excited - I snap. I'm like Lil' Jon snappin my fingers and doing my step.

3. I played softball in high school and absolutely loved it and I miss it all the time. I played 3rd base and I'm going to put it out there that I was pretty good. I mean I probably wouldn't have made the USA team but hey... I'd beat your ass.
