Be the Change…

Well NC took that to a whole new level yesterday.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably heard about the Amendment that passed yesterday.  {If you would like to know more click here.}  Well I did my civic duty and went to the poll after work to vote.  This is just a primary election but I felt the passage of this Amendment was worthy of my “against” vote.

I won’t go into a lot of explanation, you can read for yourself, but it makes me very sad that as a society we continue to vote for inequality.  What’s worse is only 35% of the registered voters in NC went to the polls yesterday.

I think the worst part is people are so narrow sighted they can’t see that this amendment doesn’t just ban gay marriage, something that is currently banned in NC anyway, it takes away rights of ALL non married partnerships gay or straight.  Not to mention the harm it could do to those in domestic abuse situations.  This is structured similar to the Ohio amendment which allowed some of those convicted of domestic violence to be released.  It makes me very sad that, in 2012, we can’t just move past the gay issue.  And that people would be so bothered by this that they would do more harm then good.

PS I have a surprise for tomorrow. 😉

Matt cleaned out my car this weekend and decided I had too much random shit in my car. In my defense, it’s MY car! I can have whatever I want in there. He thought it would be funny to lay everything on the freezer so I could see it. 🙂 Let’s make a list of random said items in my car (you’re welcome Sarah).

3 Pairs of sunglasses – though one is Matt’s (and there was another pair he actually left in the car so that’s 4)

1 koozi

2 sunglass cases

a pair of gloves

2 Auburn coasters that should live in the cup holders

a note pad

random papers

couple of pens

a car charger for my droid (that I no longer use)

a rite aid card

a bag with a mirror and old perfume

an Auburn sticker and a frankie’s fun pass card (used to scrap off ice)

and last but not least, a toothbrush 😉

I personally don’t think I have too much stuff in my car. Granted the Jetta doesn’t have much storage space but still it’s my car. hehe

Happy Monday!

You are so not my friend.  I’m not sure what has happened over the past few days but OMG my wrist hurts.  I went to Target on Monday and bought a brace but it’s pretty cheap and I’m not sure it really does much.  I can’t seem to get it quite as tight as I feel I need it.

I hadn’t been doing anything different really so I’m not sure why exactly it’s just started hurting.  I always do a ton of typing at work so it’s not like that is different.

And speaking of wrists, I might have a little something planned for my wrist while we are in NYC next week.  😉  HOLY COW, we will be in NYC NEXT week!  In 11 days Matt and I will be have been married ONE WHOLE YEAR!  AHHHHHH!  😀  I might be a tad bit excited.

I am on another “creative” kick so over the next few days I will hopefully be giving the blog a face lift.  While I was looking for inspiration the other day I found another blog theme that might be really awesome should I figure it out.  One would think having a husband who works in IT would be helpful but I’m not sure how much Matt will be helpful.  Love ya hun! 😉 So should you see some wonky things going on just ignore it and come back later.  I hope (like really hope) I can get this up by next week.

Mine seems to be a little out of control lately.  Or maybe it’s just there are a ton of idiot drivers lately, umm yeah I think that’s probably it. 😉  It blows my mind that people refuse to use blinks or the gas pedal while turning or going up hills.  OMG people, it’s really not that hard.  The gas pedal is on the right.  Just push it a little bit.

Clearly my life is super boring since I am sitting here bitching about drivers.  But really my life is super boring right now.  Our cruise is over and we’ve booked our NYC trip.  The only exciting thing happening is my trip to see my friend Brandi and her new baby this weekend!  YAY!  I am super excited to meet this cute little doll.  I’ll post some pics next week.

Matt and I were super busy this weekend. We got the guest room painted, bought a new patio set, and I planted some flowers out front. But it appears we have some leaky toilets so instead of showing you all the cool stuff we did I’m going to post a video of Julio sporting his new harness.

Dumbass channeled his inner Puss in Boots and jumped off the deck Friday night. It’s only about 15 feet to the ground. Thankfully he was fine but now he’s sporting a cool new kitty harness.

Happy Monday!

Monthiversary that is.  We are finally to month 11 and wouldn’t you know it’s on Friday the 13th.  Matt and I decided to make this one a little extra special since we will be in NYC next month so I popped open a bottle of bubbly (a bottle we received as a wedding gift) to go with our Five Guys.  That’s right, we are keeping it classy over here. 😉

Once I got home Matt and I ran to Lowe’s to pick up some more paint and to buy a new patio set.  Thank you AMEX!  We had some more cash back so we decided to buy a new table and chairs.  It didn’t hurt that I almost died the other day when I sat in one of the old chairs.  The bottom literally fell out.  Oopsy.  I love the cushions we got too.  They are reversible and very bright, and not to mention cheap.

I should also mention Julio decided to see if he could fly tonight.  Yeah, he decided to jump off the deck.  He seems to be fine but I had to chase his little ass all the way to the end of the buildings.  Needless to say he got spanked and he won’t be going out, even on the deck, without his harness from now on.  Crazy cat!

Happy 11th monthiversary Matte!  You are the best husband a girl could have and I am thankful each day I found you.  Even when times are tough you are amazing and I love you more each day!

Ughh so this week hasn’t been great.  I haven’t felt good the last few days and then we realized today the blog apparently has some sort of weird stuff going on.  Matt is currently working with the host to figure out what the problem is.  Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

The hubs stopped by the Verizon store on his way home and bought me a new iPhone.  I may have ordered a few three cases while at work today.  hehe!

I am still trying to get the damn thing set up but so far I like it.  It is definitely different then my old droid but hopefully I will survive the transition.  I must say this brightened up my day. 😉

A Post About Shoes

A Post About Shoes

Because let’s face it.  I am officially on vacation and well I’ve been too busy to do a Pinterest post. 🙁  Bad I know.  But anyhoo, I got new new shoes!  Woo hooo!

A few years ago I bought a super cute pair of black patent open toed, sling backs from Target.  They were awesome.  I wore them all the time and they looked amazing.  Well in true fashion I wore those puppies out.  Like I wore them long after the tip of the heel broke off.  Finally I knew I had to throw them away and I was pretty sad.  Anyway, I started looking a few weeks ago for another pair with no such luck.  And last night Matt and I were getting our clothes together when I figured out I couldn’t bring/wear a certain dress because I didn’t have shoes to match.

Today Matt and I were eating lunch before I ran to TJ Maxx to exchange a belt I got him a few weeks ago.  Turns out he needed a bigger size.  Shhh! 😉  As we were talking he was like “and find you another pair of black shoes.”  Okie dokie.  😀

I ran through the shoe section at TJ Maxx {have I mentioned they opened one down the street from my office?  Well they did and I LOVE it!}  I was just about to give up when I saw a super cute pair of nude open toed, sling backs by Jessica Simpson.  They were a size 6 and I decided, although a bit snug, they would work.  Then I turned the corner and realized they had a whole display of them, including a 6 1/2.  Score!  I tried those on and sure enough they fit like a glove sock.  Now I have super cute nude shoes.   I’d been thinking about nude shoes for a while and this pretty much made my decision for me.

Cute huh?

I noticed once I got home they have a bit more gold then I could see in the store.  In the store they were definitely nude.  Oh well.  You know I love gold shoes too. 😉
