High Five for Friday!

This week flew by so fast! Since I have graduated college I have realized how fast weeks go by when you are living in the "read world". During the week I usually can not wait until Friday, but when the time comes, I kinda wish it would slow down! Hours turn into days and days turn into weeks and so on and so fourth. That is why I love High Five for Fridays because it gives me a chance to slow down and look back at everything I did the past week.

1. I got an email last night from the guy I had 2 interviews with and he asked if I was available for a third interview this Saturday morning with the CEO and VP of recruiting. Apparently all of the third interviews are at a nice hotel restaurant in Annapolis. I googled it and this is one of the pictures it showed of the waiting room... which is where I will be. I am soooo nervous but soo excited at the same time! Please cross your fingers and pray for me. This is the final step and its my final chance to prove myself! Updates as soon as its done.
2. Tuesday night I came home to this home cooked meal. Brent made pork chops, beans and green beans. mmmm so yummy he did a great job.
3. As I previously mentioned I wore my pajamas to work on Halloween.. it was only natural for me to take naps in random spots throughout the day, right? (caught in the act)
4. My friend Jen found this on Pinterest and I love it! It is a workout routine for the Walking Dead. Every time they do or say a certain thing on the show, there is an exercise that you have to do. For example: if someone kills a walker, you have to do 5 crunches. Im going to try it next Sunday haha
5. Every time Brent went to the window during the hurricane to look outside, Lilly was right by his side scooping out the premises. She is his little sidekick, but she is also a momma's girl.

How was your week? 

I hope you all stayed safe and dry during Sandy.

High Five For Friday!

Good morning...Happy Friday....my favorite day of the week. Here are just a few exciting things about this past week.

1. Brent and I ate dinner at Jason's Deli on Wednesday night. They serve very healthy/ organic foods that are made fresh. I got a turkey wrap with a side of tortilla chips and salsa & guac. Not only does this place have amazing food, they give you soft serve ice cream at the end of your meal... for free!! If you have one in your area you must go try it out.
2. I am in love with Micheal Kors Jet set travel tote and I am determined to get one.. even if it is from a discount store or partially used. The only problem is... which one?!?! I love them all.. help! Which is your favorite?
3. I found some awesome print outs online and decided to put them in some frames I had stored away. They all aren't placed together in the apartment I just bundled them together for the picture. Very cheap and easy DIY project.
4. Just a hint at what my Halloween costume is.... I'm trying to use things I already have here at home.. so far I have only spent $12 on it. I will post pictures next week of the finished product.
5. We went food shopping last night and I got alot of good fruits and veggies. Eating healthy always makes me feel good. Yummmmmm

High Five For Friday!

 

Okay, so here is some of what has been going on in my life the past week/ descriptions of the pictures I posted yesterday. I promise I will have better posts next weeek! 

1. Brent's sisters B-day was last Friday, October 12th and Brent's b-day was October 17th so we had a joint celebration with their family on Sunday night at Fuji Hibachi. If you have not been to a Hibachi, you need to go asap! It is such a fun experience. They make the food right in front of you and everything tastes sooo good. It is a little pricey for an ordinary night but it would definitely be a cute double or triple date spot.
2. Sunday morning was the Ravens Vs. Cowboys game so I cuddled up on the couch in my sweats with my pup Lilly and Brent's parents doggie Bentley. (Yes, he is wearing a Cowboys jersey) I have grown up a Ravens fan, but Brent's whole family is Cowboys fans so I now consider myself both 
3. I needed to get somethings for work to organize my desk/ life. I picked up this awesome clipboard/folder/notepad. The top is a clipboard as you see and when you open it there is a folder and a pad of paper for notes. Its perfect. I love it! Also, this summer I had seen a huge black and white tote that I wanted so bad because it was super cute and it would be a great travel bag. It cost $20 some dollars and I said no way, I don't need it so i'm not buying it. Welllllll, I saw it there this past week and it was only $5.49!!! I had to get it, that's a steal!!! So its mine! I will post a pic soon.
4. SOOOOOOO, as I said before Brent is a Cowboys fan. A HUGE Cowboys fan. When he found out they were playing the Ravens almost a year ago, he made sure to remind me almost everyday how he wanted tickets for his birthday considering they were playing 3 days before it. I did my research and concluded that there was absolutely no way I could afford tickets for that game unless he wanted to watch from the sky-high seats. Well, my work sent out an email months ago asking if anyone wanted Ravens tickets for a pre-season game. It then clicked!! My company has Ravens tickets, they just don't normally hand them out, the CEO usually takes her family. I immediately emailed her and explained my story. BOOOM! She said i could have two tickets. After weeks of waiting to physically hold the tickets to know its real, I got them and what did I see??? The most amazing seats ever! 8th row from the field, 50 yard line AND on Visitors side! I knew he would flip. I held this secret from him for weeks. I wanted to tell him the night before the game so he would think there was no chance of him going. Also, my dad had gotten him 2 on field passes from his work so Brent was able to go on the field and watch the teams practice before the game, every guys dream. Being a good girlfriend, I let his dad have the second ticket because I knew they would be able to enjoy the game together since they both love football.
   

Sorry for the blurry pics, he couldn't stop smiling!

    5. Ill keep this one brief. There have been alot of structural changes at my

       job that I am not so happy about. Soooo I have been looking for other

        options and going on some interviews. This is what I wore! Blazer and

       top from Target, pants from TJ MAXX (I believe the brand is from Express 

       though) and shoes from DSW. (Please excuse the cheesy smile) Keep 

       your fingers crossed for me!!!

High Five for Friday!

I have been superrrrr busy this week, I haven't gotten a chance to post anything exciting. I have been going through some up and downs with work this week but I'm hoping next week will bring some good news. Keep fingers crossed for me! Anyway, here are my five favs of the weeek....

1. My boyfriend (who's name is Brent... I will start referring to him as Brent from now on haha) went home on Monday and brought back the most delicious enchiladas ever that his mom made! She is a great cook, I am hoping to get some of her recipes one day 
2. I got a notice in the mail from my car insurance that my monthly payment has decreased $40! I am so pumpedddd. The more money I am able to save, the happier I am.
3. I love my drive to work in the morning in the Fall!
4. Brent called me and told me that his mom planned a Family photoshoot for when we come visit this weekend. WHAT?!? I have split ends and no shape to my hair! I immediately called the girl that cuts my hair and set up an appointment. Nothing special just a trim and some more layers. The trim was much needed let me just tell you. Here's the finished product.
5. Colder weather calls for long PJ's! My favorite VS pajamas that Brent bought me for Christmas last year...soo comff

High Five for Friday!

Friday is here again people.... thank goodness!

1. This Sunday is my moms birthday so I will most likely have my family over for a home cooked meal made by yours truly. 
2. Got 2 magazines to help motivate me to exercise.. so far soo good this week, hopefully I can keep it up. Workout tip blog coming soon!
3. My boyfriend finally made time to put my pinterest project up in our bedroom. I would like it better I think if it wasn't against a white wall, but that's apartment living for you.
4. I recently found some pretty cool apps for my iphone after the big upgrade. 
• Spending is an app where you plug in all of your expenses and incomes and it divides everything up into categories to show you where most of your money is going. This is a great app for people who are trying to keep a budget and work on their finances.
• Credit Karma shows you your credit score for free! I saw a commercial for it so I convinced myself it was trustworthy and downloaded it. It shows all the money I owe on my car and student loans and it even gives me an updated credit score every month.
• PicFrame is the app I use to make my HFFF posts. It has tons of frames to choose from that can hold up to 9 pictures. Definitely the best collage app I have found so far.
• Running uses a GPS signal in your phone to time and track your runs. It records all my runs so I am able to see if you are improving or not. You can hook this app up to your facebook and you can actually hear cheers when your friends "like" your status. This app is one of my favorites.
• Thankfulfor is an app that acts as a journal in a way. All you do is write one thing you are thankful for when never you want and it can either be made public or private. I try to write something every night before bed to help me appreciate what I have and work on my positive thinking.
5. This is a picture I took on the trail I run on. It it so beautiful and serene I had to stop and take a picture before the sun went down. Probably one of my favorite place..
