NOT ME MONDAY.

HELLO LOVIES!!

hope you all had a wonderful weekend! i sure did.

all the things i did not do this past week.....

i did not love early morning workouts. i just LOVE getting back into a routine. p90x and my trainer can both suck it. jk! i love both (sigh)

i did not love a few busy days followed by a few "me" days. whoa. much needed.

i did not love finding new loves: a vintage tee, a new "favorite" smoothie, and most importantly... finding a new love for 5am wake up calls! eek.

i did not love alumni weekend and seeing all the girls!

i did not love idol + dancing with the stars. reality tv got me once again! oy.

i did not love a SERIOUS countdown until 4 days of pure free birding at coachella. quite nervous for my life (in the best way possible).

i did not love tackling a mile long to-do list.... only to start another :)

i did not love another 7 days down in this crazy life we live. can you believe it?

i did not love "heytelling" so much better than texting. you MUST download this app ASAP on your iphone: HEY TELL. wow, life changer.

i did not love kicking the ball around for the first time... in a long. long time.

i did not love researching wedding stuff. quickly becoming my new favorite hobby.

in the works of finishing my "wedding book" and deciding if i should make this a serious BOOK which maybe one day could be published? or just for fun. it's LEGIT.

i did not love my boss saying to me "i am not talking to you and will be ignoring you for a few days, you work too much!"

don't have to tell ME twice. done and done. perfect time for a few days off to recharge.

i did not love planning out an entire mothers day weekend itinerary full of fun for mama!

i did not love people watching in downtown mb with amy. it will never get old!

i did not love planning my coming week............. 4 days until COACHELLA!!! oh my!

happy monday to all!

post your not me mondays!

it's so much cheaper than therapy.

FUN PHOTO FRIDAY.

(alumni game 2009)

alumni weekend is this weekend and i couldn't be more excited!

(it's basically an excuse for us to get together with all the soccer girls from college and play the current team - and by play i mean laugh while trying to kick a soccer ball)

so excited to see everyone!!

WHEN PARENTS TEXT.

I have been a big fan of this website...

WHEN PARENTS TEXT.

(check it out, i dare you)

it's hilarious. it's now become a new favorite.

some of my favorites recently:

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN.

(source: pinterest)

Coachella is a little over a week away and i have had butterflies since the day i purchased my ticket. a friend calls them "prechella anxiety". i figured since it will be 90 + in the heat i will need to dress accordingly. i will be camping for 4 days so needless to say after day 1 my outfits will be looking a little rugged. i do however think that my concert enjoying experience will be a little better knowing my outfits are someone cute. and by cute i mean, okay to get dirty but still manage to flow with my theme for the weekend; free bird. if you know me, you know this isn't normally my kind of thing. yes, i do love music, camping, and enjoying a relaxing weekend with my friends.... however, no cell, no work, all play... minor panic attack. i am sure this will be a weekend i will never forget. and i am sure i will want to make this an annual trip. after all, who doesn't love a good music festival? any tips for first timers?

REALIGNMENT.

The past few weeks i have been trying to realign myself and get in the groove a little more. new workouts, running a few more miles each week, tackling my to-do lists that i have been procrastinating on, eating more veggies, catching up with old friends, finishing (finally) my thank you cards from our marathon in October (i'm embarrassed), and enjoying this beautiful sunshine in LA. counting down the days until summer.

NOT ME MONDAY.

well hello there!

it's been a little while since i did a NMM. so why not today?

i did not love p90x or any other workout for that matter this week. really though. my body is TIRED. missed a few days. (cough cough). so this week is a new week! oy.

i did not love getting my COACHELLA tickets in the mail. excited is an understatement. i hope i survive (mom, stop worrying, i'll be fine!)

i did not love a few CRAZY work days back to back. wow, the weeks have been flying by. eek.
