Five on Friday: The beginning of May!

Remember when I blogged 2 weeks ago and said see you on Monday?!?!?! 

And then I never showed up on Monday?!?!?!

Well, sorry about that. It appears this blog has taken a back burner to life and I just can't seem to get it together. Lots has been going on the past 2 weeks and I can't believe the first full week of May is over with! I was reading other blogs and remembered I had a blog of my own :) I'm actually typing this while waiting in the hospital for someone near and dear to me to finish up with her 5 different appointments today. I won't go into detail for privacy reasons but if you read this, just say a little prayer for this person please!

So what's been going on lately-

1. Working in Crockett, Texas has kind of grown on me. I wouldn't say I like the country but it definitely is relaxing and has forced me to slow down my life. A LOT. Here are some pictures of my adventure-




(The Anderson County courthouse. Had to stop there on Wednesday to search for some stuff)

2. My dog has been going through major Momma withdrawals. I feel bad but I have to work. And he's staying with my parents during the week so it's not like he's totally alone. Here is Exhibit A from this morning. That is my spot he is sleeping in- head on my pillow and all. 

3. I need to get better about working out and eating. Living in a hotel makes it hard to make good choices and there are only so many grilled chicken sandwiches a person can eat. I think I've gained about 5 lbs. in the month I've been there and that is no bueno (although I can't be sure of that because I need a new battery in my scale). Any healthy eating tips from the blog world?

4. I sprained my ankle pretty badly last Saturday. I iced it and then Sunday got to ride in the motorized shopping cart at Aldi and Costco. It's much better now which I'm really glad about because I have a really busy weekend planned with friends and family. We are even going to a yummy brunch on Sunday with my mom and brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. Super excited about it!


5. Last weekend was the Kentucky Derby. I went to a fundraising event for my friend that running for Woman of the Year and raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was at the Brooklyn Athletic Club and they did a fantastic job! Her brother painted this mural on the fence at BAC. Isn't it fantastic!!!! Click HERE for information about the fundraiser!

Five on Friday!

HELLO BLOG WORLD!!!! It's been a few weeks since I've visited you and A LOT has been going on in my neck of the woods. So I'll give you a little recap in today's Friday Five!


  1. I made some changes to the blog. I'm no professional but I'm liking it a little more. Still not 100% happy with the layout and colors but it's a work in progress. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
  2. I had my last day of work at the hospital 2 weeks ago today! It's really strange not to be working in the Houston Med Center any more. 
  3. I started a brand new job working as a Petroleum landman the following Monday. I "live" in small Texas towns during the week doing title research and then spend my weekends in Houston. Hotel life isn't as glamorous as it may sound but I'm making the best of it. 
  4. Both my nephew and one of my parent's dogs had surgery last week. Thankfully both of them are fine now and have made full recoveries. New job and two surgeries made for a big week!
  5. I'm toying with the idea of online dating again. I've been on a dating hiatus for the past few months but I think I may be ready to jump back into it. Any of you have any experience with online dating sites? Have any advice for me?
And if this is your first time visiting my blog- WELCOME! I'm glad you stopped by! Be sure to follow me on instagram, twitter, and bloglovin. And I love comments and reading new blogs so don't be shy :)

Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday!
