Jagged Little Pill

2012-05-22T13:15:00.005-04:00

I am a huge Alanis Morissette fan.

I have all of her songs on my iPhone.

Seriously, my favorite album of all time is Jagged Little Pill ...

I still rock out to it as much now as I did in the 90's.

There is so much emotion and angst and truth behind her lyrics.

Uninvited from the City of Angel's soundtrack is one of the most beautifully haunting songs I've ever heard!

Guardian is Alanis's latest single.

Her new album “Havoc and Bright Lights” is being released in August.

To say I am excited in an understatement!

I am eagerly awaiting being able to download the entire album!!! :-)

Are you an Alanis fan?!

PS: Check out my girl Neely's 1500 follower giveaway for a chance to win 15 of her favorite things! :)

Ready?! Here we goooooo:

It's ok ...

To cry watching Glee four weeks in a row
To take a step back
To hate that its season finale time. What am I going to do without all my shows?!
To tweak the 'about me' on my blog a million times
That I have consumed nothing this week except crackers, ginger-ale and Gatorade
To be super excited for my sister's bridal shower this weekend
To find friendship in the most unexpected places
To see someone running for the elevator and push the 'close doors' button anyway
To cringe at the cheesiness of Saved By The Bell (but be addicted to watching on Netflix)
To finally realize some people just revel in drama and starting trouble

I've Got Nuttin

2012-05-15T11:00:00.059-04:00

... seriously, I've been drawing blanks on that to blog about. Right now my life is a combination of getting ready for Miami & getting ready for my sister's bridal shower ... other then that there's not too much fun & exciting going on in my life:

I've got a little bit of a stomach virus going on. Yesterday morning I wasn't feeling so well, but - got up, showered, dressed and got on the bus headed to work. Got about halfway there when my stomach started really reallllllly not feeling right. So I jump off the bus and head home.

24 hours later and I'm still home and my stomach is still upset and I'm still feeling rather crappy.

Good times. Not. Although, endless amounts of Lifetime movie are helping a little bit ;)

My food intake consists of Gatorade, Ginger-ale & Crackers. But I have to like force the crackers down because even though I feel hungry, I get nauseous as soon as I eat :(

I also caught up on all my shows and my DVR is now nice clean. Actually, it's been pretty clean there were only a few things on it I needed to watch:

Grey's Anatomy: Ohhhh myyyyy - and the Previews for this week are killing me! Whose going to die?! I cannot even deal! I really am kinda hoping it's April Kepner because she reallt tends to get on my last nerve plus she didn't pass her boards so good riddance!

Unforgettable: I'm really really sad that this show got canceled, although I think I was the only one who watched it LOL. :(

Revenge: This show seriously just gets better and better. I really enjoyed watching the most recent episode where it went back to the beginning to see how Emily/Amanda came to begin her rein of revenge. I cannot wait to see how everything continues to play out and the previews of whats to come look amazing.

Bachelorette: I was never a huge Emily fan, but man, I had to feel sorry for her with the pool of tools ABC had chosen for her this season. There are maybe a handful of ~~not crazy~~ decent guys. If it wasn't for the live tweeting with y'all I doubt I would actually continue on watching the entire season.

My little sister (ok, she's not so little, she's 25 haha) moved out of my parents house. Her and her fiance's apartment is right by my apartment which is exciting! I think it will be fun that she lives so close! :) My poor mama though, she's having a serious case of empty nest syndrome. Good thing she has the puppies because she is going to dote on those babies now! :)

I ordered this beach bag from QVC:

Little MissMatched Animal Print Beach Tote via

I'm really excited to get it I think its so cute! I still need to get a couple of pairs of flip-flops and sandals for the bachelorette party! I cannot believe how fast everything is coming! I'm looking forward to getting away!!! :)

And because this post is a total, complete mashup of everything, I decided to link up with my friend Mrs. Monologues for her new linkup (even if I am a day late ... hehe)

Slip, Don't Slide ...

2012-05-08T19:30:00.036-04:00

Via

AMEN.

We don't have perfect lives, so why do we think our weight-loss journey needs to be perfect? I will be the first to admit (and have admitted here many, many times before) that the road to being healthy - it isn't easy. But I'm here. I'm still trying. I'm still fighting. I'm still determined.

But ... in recent days/weeks (months?) ... I let myself slide. All of my hard work, everything I was so proud of? It's gone. I gained what I loss, and with it went all of my accomplishments.

And then something happened ... I came across fellow FitFluential Ambassador Carlyn's blog: Just Keep Sweating for the first time and read her about me ... and I cried ... I cannot tell you exactly what it was about her story that tugged at my heart, maybe it was because so much of her story was something I could have wrote myself ... the difference is she has reached way more of her goals then I have ... she instantly became my inspiration for not only this post, but for my becoming recommitted to having a positive journey. I think what I related to most were her words:

"I never thought of myself as anything but a before picture, and now all I see is an ever-changing after" -via

... I love that. I want that. I want to be proud of me again. And I will be ...

So, I decided to try to be the definition of what it means to be a FitFluential Ambassador ... to share my journey - the good, the bad, the ugly ... and never give up. To quit talking and start doing. I don't expect that I will start running marathons tomorrow ... but baby steps. Choosing stairs over elevators, water over soda, veggies over potato chips ... you know, going back to basics. Am I mad at myself for letting a slip turn into a slide? Absolutely ... but it happened, I'm NOT going to beat myself up over it, I'm just going to recommit myself to being the best me I can be.

I also create a FitFluential page up on the top of my blog ... It's under construction at the moment, but soon I am hoping it will become a place of refocus and inspiration both for myself and for all of you ... The road isn't always easy, but I have faith that in the end it will all be worth it!

Control The Crazy

2012-05-02T13:15:00.003-04:00

You ever have one of those days (weeks, months?) where you just feel crazy?

Like insanity is out-right oozing from your pores?

What? It's only me?! .... oops.

For reals, lately I'm stressed out. A bundle of nerves and aggravation that just lead me to feel like I need to be heavily medicated or something.

My head is constantly spinning lately, I have a short fuse and feel like I can snap at any moment.

I just downloaded to my Kindle Vinny Guadagnino's (yes, that Vinny Guadagnino of fist-pumping fame) book:

Control the Crazy

I am eager to start reading it ... I'm hoping it will do me some good.

Something's gotta give and soon because I feel like a ticking-time-bomb, and it is not a fun feeling at all.

How Is It May?

2012-05-01T13:30:00.006-04:00

I don't know about you but I seriously do not understand how it is already May! 2012 is FLYING by! ♥M always says that time goes by so quick because of work ... I wonder if he's right? If we didn't work would time go by slower? I doubt it ...

But, yes, it's May ... the countdown is officially on and we are all officially in wedding mode: two weeks until my sister's bridal party, thirty days until Miami, five months until my sisters wedding ... I'm starting to get super excited!

In other news, I decided once again to attempt the Photo A Day challenge that Fat Mum Slim does every month for May. I tried it in March and barely made it half-way-through. Wanna join in? Here are the prompts:

Book Club Friday (4/28/12)

2012-04-28T11:46:00.003-04:00

Yes, I know it's Saturday ... but I really, really meant to link-up with Heather yesterday but never got around to it! So, here we go, better a day late then not at all, right?! This week I just finished the book that Michelle sent me from the most recent book-swap:

Here's the synopsis:

"A mind-bending, genre-twisting debut novel ... In West Akron, there lived a reclusive elderly man who always wore mittens, even in July. He had no friends and no family; all over town, he was known only as the Man from Primrose Lane. And on a summer day in 2008, someone murdered him.

Four years later, David Neff is a broken man. The bestselling author of a true-crime book about an Ohio serial killer, Neff went into exile after his wife’s inexplicable suicide. That is, until an unexpected visit from an old friend introduces him to the strange mystery of “the man with a thousand mittens.” Soon Neff finds himself drawn back into a world he thought he had left behind forever. But the closer he gets to uncovering the true identity of the Man from Primrose Lane, the more he begins to understand the dangerous power of his own obsessions and how they may be connected to the deaths of both his beloved wife and the old hermit.

With a deft and singular blend of suspense, literature, and horror, The Man from Primrose Lane boasts as many twists and turns as a roller coaster. It’s a spellbinding journey of redemption and a reflection on the roles of fate, destiny, and obsession when it comes to matters of the heart.." -via

Here's my review:

The Man from Primrose Lane: A Novel by James Renner

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I thought this was going to be a crime/mystery book. Nowhere in the description does it say anything about time-travel, so this book surprised me. The time travel also doesn't reveal itself until halfway through the book, so I was often left in the dark trying to figure out WHAT was going on ... The first half of the book I was literally confused with every passing page, I found myself struggling to read it, there was so much and nothing happening at the same time. It was all over the place. But almost as soon as I hit the halfway mark the book became brilliantly good, and everything started to fall into place. I'm so happy I pushed through and finished the book because I really ended up enjoying it!

**Please, please, please: If you are linking up either use our button or link back to our blog!!!**

As always, want to give a shout out to my co-host Tara :)

Soooo, believe it or not I'm still rockin' the same Shellac manicure as I've had for the last two weeks ... this week you can obviously some wear & tear on my nails (my cuticles are a hot mess) and my nails have grown which you can notice now ... I think it would be a lot more noticeable had I chosen a darker color. I think I'm going to go back to regular mani/pedi's and get shellac for special occasions (will definitively do Shellac when I go to Miami!) .... but it's been a good three weeks! I may try to hold out another week, I haven't decided yet. :)

A Day Of Celebration

2012-04-26T07:00:00.000-04:00

What a BIG BIG day today is ... lot's to celebrate here!

First of all: this lil blog of mine is a year old today! Crazy that I've only been blogging here for 365 days. In many ways I feel like I've been doing this for years, yet at the same time it seems like just yesterday I hit publish for the very first time ...

Second (and third): I'm being featured in two different places today! (Talk about my lucky day, maybe I should play lotto or something!):

Today is my SITS day! Who or what is SITS you ask? Well ... it's15,000 women bloggers dedicated to supporting one another by leaving comments & learning about blogging ... I have been waiting for this day for what seems like FOREVER :)

I am also being featured over at my fabulously talented blog designer's page as her blog of the week! Jenn is truly a wonderful person and I am honored to have had her design my blog (twice)!!

Whew ... so much to be thankful for and lots to celebrate here today!
So, whether you are visiting for the first time or are a daily reader, thanks for being a part of my first year as a blogger. I cherish the friendships I've made, the things I've learned, the addictions you have created (A year ago I didn't know what Pinterest or Scentsy was nor was I so obssessed with beauty products) ... seriously from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a part of My Vickilicious Life!
