Where do I start....

 I am so behind in this blog-o-sphere that I don’t know where to start.

1.      I am so tired. I need to sleep one night, one night where I do nothing but sleep peacefully and dream of handsome men…..I want a good night sleep…no more of this 4 hour crap.

2.      My nephew might be on his way into this world. It is a crazy world to enter and I hope that he learns that he is surrounded by lots of love and people that will teach him all the good things in life…not to mention he will have the coolest aunt ever.

3.      Lightening storms are so peaceful. I want to sit on my porch all night and watch them. I hate storms, but they make me feel safe for some reason.

4.      I’m guilty of giving compliments to expect one back. I shouldn’t do that…its not proper and it doesn’t result in a great compliment at all.

5.      I miss the fall. I miss having a season where the leaves change color, where pumpkin is the favorite flavor, where laying on the couch in a full sweatsuit and covered in a blanket is necessity. I’m tired of this 100 degree weather…its shitty.

6.      I need a cuddle buddy before it gets really cold outside.

7.      I realized today that my work load is about to double come January but my pay isn’t going to. Someone is gonna pay for this….or else!

8.      I’ve decided I hate a desk job but somehow I return to a cubicle each day and smile. So I think I do smile.

9.      Going out of town tomorrow to see my favorite band in the world with some of my favorite people. I think this is just what the doctor ordered.

10.   Living alone isn’t easy. I learn this when I answer myself.

11.   Feeding a 4 year old chocolate at 9 p.m. doesn’t make him sleepy. It makes for an aunt to have no patience.

12.   I have enough love to share. I’m ready to find do that with someone worthy.

13.   Sometimes you have to follow your heart…or maybe follow your head…or maybe let them fight and whoever walks away standing wins. I hope its my heart……

14.   I wish I had more money to buy healthy food. I know that so many people say its possible to eat healthy on a budget but I want to be able to buy so many fresh veggies and yummy crap that looks good in recipies I find on the internet. Wishful thinking.

15.   I’m about to take on a second job. I’m not challenged right now in life and I need it. I need an atmosphere where I talk to a lot of people, work under pressure and make money. OTB here I come again…ughh! It better be worth it.

16.   Next post I promise will have lots o’ pictures. I swear.

17.   I need more motivation when it comes to every day things. I wish I really didn’t put them off.

18.   October goal: Don’t have any bad thoughs! HAha!

Im such a tease ;)

Sheer craziness has ensued the past week or so. Okay so maybe I just haven't taken the time to blog. I admit I have been in the wrong, but seriously people...come on!!!.....I was on vacation calm down! I'm teasing you with a short one right now with much more to come later.

P.S.- As you can see the whole Fashionista Challenge has come to a hault. I decided I just don't have the energy to keep up with it. So blah...one more mission failed. But I am okay with it. I still know that I can go a whole month without wearing the same clothes, but I am lucky enough to be able to keep up with this blog, let alone a challenge. Woah....my mind was about to explode! And honestly I don;t give a shit!

Crap on top of crap

One of my favorite bloggers Running off the Reeces does a thing every Friday (15 thing friday) where she goes off about anything....so I decided to steal that and make my own list titled "Crap on top of crap" and summ up the top 10 things on my mind right now with you. Bamm...don't be jealous.....

1. I love comfort food. The kind of food that  makes your ass bigger as you are eating it . tonight i ventured out and made chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and covered it all with cream gravy (get your head out of the gutter).

Look its so big it makes a heart

2. I got my nails done tonight for the wedding I am going to this weekend. I got tips and yes my nails are black. So suck it everyone that thinks it is goth. Get with it people, black is totally in style and makes my fingers look longer!

3. I actually went to a public library today and checked out some books. I guess this is my attempt to save money and still enjoy reading. Laaaammmmeeeeooo I know! Funny thing is that I had a library fee of $2.40 from 6 years ago,. Bwahaha! Now that is funny...i handed over the money and took a little James Patterson home with me. Ah thank you!

4. So much was on TV tonight and it was the first night I really really wanted a DVR! Damn you Time Warner Cable, why do you have to charge an extra $15 a month for a DVR?!? I settled on the Sing off but I had to forgo Dancing with the Stars (with the first tranny and gay guy!). Hulu here I come tommorrow. Not to mention roast of charlie sheen is on tonight too! Woo hoo!

5. I want more money to go shopping. Not to pay off bills, or save but to be able to buy a fabulous wardrobe! So new pair of shoes, you will be mine and I won't have to wipe away my tears while I leave the store anymore. The one thing that sucks though is that  is going to require working more hours. Bring on the part time job!

6. I need to be packing right now but the roast of charlie sheen is on. How can I miss this. Winning!!!!!!



 7. My apartment complex finally opened up thier workout center. I thoght to myelf "i think i'll venture over there to check it out".....or maybe i'll lay here on my couch some more, drink the rest of my beer and gaze at Charlie Sheen!

8. Do you ever want to tell someone "leave me alone"! Like seriously don't talk to me...don't look at me, dont even think about me. I just want you to walk away right now, think about talking to someone else and know that when I tell you this, i'm really not being a bitch just myself.  If you don't like it suck it! Go find someone who cares, someone who actually wants to hear you talk and someone who gives a rats ass (that one was really mean).

9. I need more art in my apartment. But I am scared to put anything up because I get tired of things really easily. I want something NY inspired to put up......so go find me something.....and buy it for me! okay thanks.

10. Alright i'm lost...i don't have a 10th things. I'll be honest this roast is funny and I can focus right now. It will get better...for your sake I hope!

Fashionista Challenge: Day 6

Check out the snazzy new phone cover, just sayin!

Woke up this morning feeling like crap. It rained heavinly last night and I think mother nature freaked out and decided to take it out against me. My eyes hurt like hell (hence the glasses look today) and my body is sore as hell. I just wanted tot ell her to take that shit elsewhere! I don't have time to deal with it right now. Today's outfit was based upon the glasses or the fact that i wanted to look like a librarian..or maybe not. Either way I havent worn the same thing yet! Maybe perhaps I also feel like crap because someone forced me to stay at the bar I was at when the storm hit and what else are you going to do at a bar but consume vodka  <------ the only bevy that doesn't kill me. 5 drinks later I think I was okay to drive home! (in a span of 2 hours of course).

Over all successfull weekend.........both my football teams won....Tony Romo still sucks though....at leat one of my teams has a very hot quarterback...... i <3 mark sanchez for life!

 



Goooooaaaaaallllllll....or not

I have a special place in my heart for FC Dallas.....well that and $2 beers for the majority of the game! Saturday we concluded the birthday extravaganza with a little soccah action at the FC Dallas game. We did have seats in the stands but decided to stay on the stage where the brewskey's were flowing freely, and there was fun people around to entertain us!

Nice seats....eh?

I know I know.......I should have taken more photos of us gals together...but I am horrible at photos. It was a perfect night, except for the fact that our FCD boys forgot to score a goal. However, they did do an amazing tribute to a retired player/broadcaster voice/ex-fellow employee Bobby Rhine. He tragically dies from a massive heartattack at the age of 35 recently and has left behind two beautiful boys and a wife. He was an amazing person and I feel so blessed to have worked with him. Cheers bobby!

Super sized jersey one of the supporters groups made in tribute to Bobby Rhine. BR19 Foreva!

Ain't nothing a little wine can't cure!

Friday began the Weekend Extravaganza that was created to celebrate my friend Jackie's birthday. She actually take a entire week out of the year to celebrate her birthday...apparently god made her "special" and she gets to do this......we just call her odd. After work we ventured out to Grapefest....a lovely festival celebrating the glorious creation of Wine. We battled the wind, the downpur of rain, the lovely look of being drenched in the rain, because who thinks about umbrellas when you have wine on the brain!

Me and some lovely ladies

Regardless of the rain storm we faced, the wine tasting was awesome. For 2 hours straight we sampled wines from about 50+ vineyards and even managed to engulf some cheese/crackers in there somewhere. It was fun, we were wet and very excited to get home to change into some warm clothes. I even managed to drink another bottle of wine by the time I got home. I however was the party pooper of the evening and went to bed by 11:45 p.m. Party animal I am. I woke up and rememebr I even got a soulvenoir from the wine tasting...oh joy!

This was the amount of wine you got from each sample....times this by 100 and thats how much wine I got!

Fashionista Challenge : Day 4 & 5

For the record I was home sick on Thursday so I didn't have to put forth any effort into my outfit...but I will say that I rocked a hoodie and shorts very nicely for the day!


Friday's ensemble:

Yes boys and girls it was "casual friday" in which I normally wear a pair of jeans and some kind of top to work. But on this lovely day I was heading out to work for a freind's birthday that evening so I had to spruce it up a bit. This is me sprucing it up a bit....don't laugh.

Fashionista Challenge: Day 3

Day three...not so bad. Woke up this morning, got dressed, went to the Dr and got sent right back home again. Grrrr...I actually wanted to go to work today! Well needless to say apparently strept throat is contagious hence the reason I am now sitting on my couch, watching re-runs of the Real Housewives of New Jersey and wearing a sweatshirt! I think I will probably clean a bit, run some errands and then keep a shopping date with my momma. Contageous my ass....I have crap to do. I'll start when I wake up from my nap!

Fashionista Challenge: Day 2

Day two and still hating my pictures. But on a side note, I do have different hair! Holla! I like to call this "lazy hair". I'm still in a food coma from the Italian Feast I made last night for dinner for some friends and the idean of putting forth effort into blow drying, flat ironing my hair just made me want to go back to sleep.

Realization of today: I am alone. Not entirely alone. I mean I do have my friends, my family and my co-workers, but for the first time in my life I am single, alone, no man and I have NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL I AM DOING! I think I need to invest in a little book called "The Rules" . It was recommended to me by one of my friends and it is apparently the chick's guide to dating, the in's and out's, the do's and dont's. Maybe when I am done reading it the book will magically change into a hot man who has an amazing job, nice vehicle, loves his momma and can't take his eyes off of me. Now that ladies and gentleman is a BOOK! Shit, that is an investment. Let me know when someone publishes that!  

Now onto conquor the world! but first, just to get past Tuesday!

Fashionista Challenge: Day 1

Day Late: September 12, 2011

First day of Fashionista Challenge (going 1 month without wearing the same thing to work) and I already hate pictures of myself. I want to puke at the sight of how LARGE I look. Ughh. I have a feeling this is going to be a self realizationg of a couple of things:

1. I dress like a slob
2. I honestly do needs to loose ALOT of weight
3. My bathroom is boring white...bleh
4. My fingers look like chubby little sausages
5. I need a manicure..bad...can I have some money?!?

Either way something will come out of this "challenge". I am bound and determined.

I bleed green......

Well to sum up my weekend I have one word.......you think i'm gonna say fabulous right....wrong. It was BORING!!!!!! Well not all of it. I honestly think that when you have a boring weekend it causes you to fully appreciate the simple things in life. Like laying on your couch watching TV until  you can't possibly keep your eyes open, which just so happens to be 1 a.m.! Yeah that was my night saturday evening after a fabulous dinner with my mother at a cute little restaurant. I think the ric food they served got the best of me but I have to admit that it tasted AH-mazing going down the ol trap...and it helped that I didn't have to fork over any mulah for the din-din. Score! Double score because I had good company enjoying this feast! Friday night we won't talk about, just a night filled with blashemy and doesn't deserve a mention on this ol blog. Sunday was my glory day........Soccah (I always manage to want to use my non existant Maine accent when saying words ening in 'er) Soccer...my heaven on earth...and a night spent with my brother, his rowdy friends (second brothers to me) and this gorgeous piece of meat:



She can go away....very far away..and stop looking at my man! Grrrr

Okay, so maybe that is not how all of you picture Mark Sanchez, but as far as I am concerned this is the only way that he needs to look ever. Not to mention he won the first official game of the season, and he beat the hometown Cowboys. And I like to think that he knows who I am and totally wants to have babies with me......am I pushing it too far?!?

You smile cuz you know your gorgeous

Thats right....we are number 1 Markeeeeee!

Okay, one more to make you smile!



 Football, beer, food and friends...good Sunday to me.

Oh the insanity........

So I got to the gym everynight...who am I kidding...I go about 3-4 times a week. So why..oh why do I feel the need to go work my ass off at the gym and then come home to shove my face full of food? I mean I should be getting home and want to do nothing more than lie on the floor and pass the hell out. But no, for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about food all through out spinn class. "What am I going to make for dinner tonight? Is it going to be good? What can I eat that will make my ass grow"? yeah these are all those great thought strolling through my head while I am peddling my way to never, never land. Someone smack me. Hard...so hard I fall off the bike. thank you, thank you so much. Thought maybe I could wrap it up with a little "catch up with Dianna list":

- Boys certainly show their age when they open their mouths. Someone needs to teach them at a younger age, if you talk to a women like she is a lady, she will treat you like a lady should. If you open your mouth and stupid rolls out, well she might just smack you across your face. and laugh at you....

-i have taken on the challenge of not wearing the same outfit to work over the duration of a month. I'm going to take photos each day and log it on my blog. don't ask me why i am doing this..i have no clue. It might be the product of me bragging at work how many clothes i actually own. which might possibly be embarrassing. so i put myself up to this challenge. maybe it will force me to explore my fashionista side. or it will prove to me that i really do have more shit.

-someone asked me earlier today "are you going to watch the debate tonight on tv?"...huh there is a debate on tv?!? I have never been one to get involved in politics. I tell myself it is because all the platforms and beliefs of the candidates is quite confusing. I never talk politics with anyone either because the minute I open my mouth i know nonsense will come plowing out. and who wants to look stupid?

-apparently i decided to pic the apartment complex located right next to the massive highway they are currently building because i am a DUMB ASS! 5 a.m. turns out like this "hey juan...turn that damn backhoe off. this hoe is still trying to sleep"! Damn you!

-I graced my uber cute neighbor again this morning with my presence. I even managed to pry my lips apart and say "hi"! Maybe tomorrow i'll make eye contact. Hey im growing up! Knowing me though i'll be the one sliding down the stairs on my ass and knock him over. I am sure to get a date after that

-The world lost a great soul this past week and the very young age of 35. He was amazing, touched everyone's hearts and influenced the game of soccer in so many ways. His spirit will live on. RIP Bobby Rhine. Thanks for the advice, the stories and the passion.

-Best part about living alone.....my clothes are on the floor and they have been there for a few days. Suck it.

-I think every work place should have a scream room. A small sound proof room where anyone can do during the day and scream as loud as they could. Today I could have used a scream castle..yes that large. today was major suckage.

-I'm sad my bestfriend decided to not drink for awhile. Don't get me wrong...I should be doing this too..but I might just faint if I don't have at least one or two drink every day...I mean every now and then. God i'm a lush.

Tonight another night at home...TV..which is great because I can never get enough of it...and making my bed, because apparently I have to have sheets on it to sleep. Maybe i'll just sleep on the couch tonight!

Take me out to the ball game……

A refreshing night at the Texas Rangers ball game with some of my favorite ladies. Jacky, Tera and Heidi make me laugh so much. On the ride over there (which just so happened to take a bit…an ass load….longer than what we would like. A special thank you to all those idiots out there who fail to use their traffic signals)…I realized how much these ladies make me laugh and how we could seriously write a book of all of our quotes and quirky saying. I think you would buy one and then laugh your arse off. Just saying! We had a blast.

Tera, Heidi and Jackie...don't think she wanted her photo taken..

 Started the night off right like any true lady would……

it;s so sweet once it hits your lips

While glaring and dreaming about ripping all the clothes off the gorgeous players from our lovely seats.

If only they were closer

Needless to say it was a wonderful evening had by all. A cute little 4 year old (shoutout Lindsey from Haslett) was at the game with her family. She just happened to sit right in front of us and shared her cotton candy with us. By the way, nothing classier than having a beer in one hand and a glob of cotton candy in another. Classic! She was just about the cutest thing ever and seriously talked my ear off the entire game. She also commented on the likeable-ness of the “cute” players. I think I have myself convinced that I am the “cool aunt” or “cool older friend” who teaches little kids bad things! Well not bad things but I honestly think sometimes you should talk to them like an adult. Its hilarious half the time and quite enjoyable (you should try it). Nothing like a 4 year old blurting out “is farting like diarrhea”?  Bwahahaha! True fun times had by all and I suppose we shall have another fun filled evening at the ball park. Maybe I can convince another little kid to go buy me a beer this time.

My day is so far from over and while I am soooo excited about going to Corpus Christi this holiday weekend, I am dreading the drive down there. 7-8 hours in a car with a numerous amount of red bull, Gatorade and who knows how much blaring music I am about to endure. Luckily I have a friend hoping a ride to the Austin area so I’ll have some company for about 3hrs of the drive. Regardless oh how long it takes, the trips are always well worth it. The hangovers are not!

Someone please stop me

I inhaled an entire box of these goodies at lunch time.

Ask my why when I made my lovely lunch worthy trip to Walmart I was atttracted to these little guys. They are the devil.....and I worship any gummy fruit candy. Why god! Whyyyyyyyy!

Thursday…oh Thursday……

I decided last night that life is what you make of it. Take me for example…..I’m not the best dresser in the world but I try. I mean I wake up each morning thinking about what fabulous outfit I can put together to only manage to have it on and completely hate it. Which turns into me going back to one of my “safe” outfit choices that everyone has seen a million times. But I try….regardless of what you think I have taken the stance that I believe I have descent style choices and no one is going to rain on my fashionista parade (but advice is welcomed)! And another thing I just recently moved into an apartment all by myself. The first two weeks I forced myself to stay up very…VERY late each night so that by the time I was ready to crash, I couldn’t keep my eyes out. For some reason this convinced me that since I was so tired I couldn’t hear some stranger trying to break in my apartment to come and eat all the fabulous food I have recently cooked! (I mean come on now doesn’t this look ahhh-mazing!)

Anyways I could come home and be completely depressed that no one answers my “honey I’m home” greeting, or be mad when I have no one to pick up after me, but I am not. I am learning to embrace being alone and frankly (I don’t give a damn…..classic gone with the Wind) I kinda like my alone time. I honestly don’t get anything done during that time, but I still like it! I know I’ll probably blog about this time and time again but to be honest this is a huge step and change in my life. This is the first time I have done something for myself and it rocks! Woo hoo! Suck it haters! I know it sounds like I have never lived before, but I am a firm believer that you happen to experience different things through out different parts of your life. So what if I am a little slow in the process! I like to think that I just happen to tackle things with a more mature thought process. That still doesn’t mean I know what I am doing!

Tonight however the ladies take it to the ballpark to watch our beloved Texas Rangers beat some Tampa Bay ray arse! Woo hoo! I’m sure how much of the game will be spent watching the actual plays or how much of the time we will spend talking about which ass looks better in what pants. I mean how can you go wrong looking at this:

Oh Ian I love you so

And this:

Oh you pointing at me?



And of course this:

(hey biatch...he's waving at me!!)

I personally hope that they opt for the second choice uniform but I doubt it is camera ready:

This is what I need to wake up to every single morning



I’m already thinking about the most gross, calorie induced, cheesy fabulous food item I can eat. You know the thing that the minute you take a bite of it your cholesterol slaps you in the face and tells your ass to grow a few more inches! Oh yeah…can’t wait! I think I might forgo the cold beer for something like that…….who am I kidding! I’ll have both and starve for the remainder of the weekend. Great plan Dianna, great plan! So here’s to a night full of boys, beers and brats!

(Heaven, I'm in heaven)
