It's Ok

Hi friends!!I'm in Chicago and that is def ok by me!! We all know the drill.

It's OK...

that I'm spending the next 5 days with one of my absolute favorite peope!!

Shelbs and I have been friends since my sophomore year in collage and considering we have lived in different states for 3 of those years, that says a lot.  She is definitely a life long friend and I am so lucky to have met her!  :)

 

It's ok...
that I totes stressed about scheduling posts while I am out of town.  I know it's kind of crazy, but I just love blogging and I love having this connection to the world and to my friends that live all over the place.

that I miss Coral already!

that I decided last minute to take yesterday off to prepare for my trip.  Slacker, I know.
That just made my Spring Break 11 days long.  No complaints here!!

that I had a free Southwest coupon to enjoy an adult beverage on my flight last night.
I still get a little anxious when I'm flying so it's nice to be able to take the edge off.


that's it's supposed to be gorgeous while I'm in Chicago!
Bring on 70's and sunny!

Happy happy Thursday lovelies!!

It's OK

It's that time again...let's all help Neely and Amber get 110 links today for It's Ok!!

It's OK...

that I was so excited for all of my shows to start back this week, but I still haven't watched any of them.  I have a lazy Friday night spent catching up to look forward to. 

I think that means I am getting old...arrrg.

I am almost 26....shhh don't tell anybody!

that I am so sore today that I am having trouble walking.

Being sore means I worked out hard, right?

Ok, good because I almost died last night.

It's so worth it!

 that I have to spend $315 on new retainers because my precious little bundle of fur chewed mine up...because I really needed new ones anyways. that I almost ate an Oreo cakester yesterday before I realized how many calories were in ONE!Holy smokes...So NOT worth it! that I spent too much money buying online deals yesterday...but they are well, deals, and I cannot resist! Happy Thursday friends!Friday is almost here!XoXo

It's OK

Good morning friends.

Yes, it is 11:00, but I just woke up!

It's OK...

that I am in a wonderful city that I want to explore, but instead I am having a lazy day at home.

I'll be watching this and staying in bed for the most part.

It's OK...

 that I might have splurged a little bit since I have been here...

Merry Christmas to myself.

It's OK...

that I ate my first beignet last night and it was absolutely delish!

It's OK...

that I still don't have an outfit for NYE.

It's ok

Today I'm linking up with Neely and Amber for It's Ok Thursday.

It's ok that I went 3 days drinking diet come instead regular coke and then caved this morning and got a large coke from chick-fil-a.

It's ok that it took me and my sister 5 hours to make potato soup last night. It ended up being delicious, but if it weren't for Kim, I would've given up after hour 1.

It's on that I have days where I'm so depressed about being 25 and single. It's also ok that I'm spending this weekend with 2 of my best friends and their significant others. Although they don't make me feel like the 5th wheel, it's still in the back of my mind. I have to just remind myself to be patient. Great things come to those who wait.

It's ok that I've been without a car for 3 weeks because it really makes me appreciate the little things. I'm supposed to get my car tomorrow and even though it's not new and fancy, I'm just so happy to have wheels again.

It's not ok that my pinterest app on my phone is messed up. How am I supposed to waste my time??

Happy Thursday lovies!!!
