WTF Wednesday

It's that time again - we've made it we're 1/2 way through the week and 1 day closer to the weekend. Which BTW I'm really looking forward too seeing last weekend was a bust. Anyway it's rant time soo WTF??...

Yesturday I was beyond horrible and it all started with me waking up late. I swear waking up late ruined my entire day. I didn't have time to do the 30 day shred, I promised myself I would do it when I got home from work but that never happened instead I ate an entire box of Girl Scout cookies, tagalongs - friggin blazin and they tasted sooooo goood!... (minus the 3 Mr. C had). But seriously, who does that?!? Grrr I'm so upset with myself today.

So what's your WTF rant??

Top 2 Tuesday ~ Celeb Style!

This weeks top 2 tuesday is favorite celeb style!

2. Kim Kardashian - need I say more?!

What a weekend

Don't mind me for a bit I'm just going to throw myself a little pity party. This weekend was horrible for the most part. I had to work crazy hours again, it rained non-stop... it's still raining, our basement flooded and due to our water issues we had to cancel plans to go to the St. Patty's day parade yesturday. No bueno, Mr. C and I were not happy campers this weekend. Forget relaxing, once we got home from work Saturday night the remainder of our night up until Sunday mid afternoon was spent pumping out water - every hour on the hour - not fun!

Surprisingly we did end the day on a good note, Mr C and I have been talking now for a couple of weeks about painting the house - tomorrow will be exactly 1 yr since we purchased our house and moved in - well up until this point everything has been just a boring off white/ivory color ... up until yesturday. We finally started our painting and completed 1 room. Not bad time wise either only took us 2 hours total to complete it counting taping and painting. We did the kitchen in a tangerine orange color, Mr. C's choice not mine. I'm not sure if I'm crazy about it I think we should have done a shade or 2 lighter but I'm going to see if it grows on me. IDK I think if our cabinets were a lighter finish it would look great but I'm still on the fence can't decide if I love it or hate it. But it's all about trial and error right?! I don't know why we waited so long, I think we both thought this was going to be a huge project and it's not bad at all - surprisingly it was the relaxing part of our day. HA!

I don't know what to do to finish off the room. On one hand I want to look into white finishes to brighten it up a little more (like white canisters for the counter top I think) and last night I went out and got a white valance for the window and I'm thinking about possibly even adding a small white base backsplash. Our dishwasher is white but it's on its' last leg so we want a stainless one and the stove is white (both came with the house). When we first moved in we wanted to replace both, especially the stove and get gas stove w/range -stainless- but the electric flattop stove is brand new, stickers on it when we moved in, so we can't see spending more money when the one we got works great but just doesn't fit our taste, ya know!?
But on the other hand everything else we have is stainless w/black. - who knows, I'll have to figure something out... or maybe we'll just repaint it. I'll post before/after pics tonight! Next up is the hall way, I'm going to start taping tonight and we'll either paint it tomorrow night or wait until this coming Sunday.

So on a completely different note 30 shred is going good this morning I completed day 6, I'm still doing WW but I haven't lost any more weight. I'm at a stand still =/ It's a little depressing but I feel better eating healthier and working out regularly again so I'm trying not to get hung up on the scale. I totally forget to post stats/pics from when I started so I figured I'll post them now. Stats from 3/10:

Height - 5'7"
Weight - 137lbs
Hips - 36in
Thighs - 22.5in
Waist - 28.5in
Bust - 36.5in
Arms - 11in

ABC's of ME (=

I found this cute ABC's of Me over at Kristens' blog and thought it would be fun to do too.

A. age - 25 eek! This year my b-day really hit me and I kinda felt old. =/

B. bed size - Queen. Mr.C's grandmother gave us some of her words of wisdom before getting married and I think this is one I was always remember. She told us when bed shopping (yes we had a convo about bed shopping with gram lol) lay in the bed side by side, backs flat, have enough room for comfort not enough room to go to bed angry - meaning make sure another body can't fit between you... it's hard to go to sleep mad at someone when you're forced to touch. And I'm proud to say I love that advice! Mr. C and I have never gone to bed angry.

C. chore you hate - folding/hanging laundry! I'll wash them and dry them, carry the basket up to the room but I hate hate HATE putting the clothes away.

D. dog's name - Oscar.. who has aquired a whole range of names of the years- bubby, lil'shit, piss pot, bub, oscar man.

E. essential start of the day - good morning smooches to Mr. C

F. first job - Waitress

G. gold or silver - gold (white)

H. height - 5'7"

I. instrument you play - none anymore, used to play the flute, clarinet, sax and tenor sax... ok so I was a bit of a band geek in elementary and middle school.
