Flippin' on up!

Hey Friends,

Sorry this is late in the day. I've been super busy at work today and I fly out on Monday to DC so it's a must that I finish my work. When it comes to flipping on and flipping off for this fabulous Friday, I don't have much to say except for one GIANT FLIP ON...

I PASSED MY NATIONAL EMT EXAM!!
Next step is the background check (I've already passed that) and finishing up my paperwork. Then I'll be a real EMT! WOOP! WOOP!

Tomorrow I'm hiking to Table Rock with my gal pals. I hope you have a great weekend!

Byeeeee!!!

Wednesday's Confessions

Hi Friends,
I was thinking about not doing the confession post for a while then I realized I have some more things to get off my chest.

*I confess that I'm not ready for my EMT test Friday. I'm already feeling anxious and lacking major confidence.
*I confess that I feel like a TERRIBLE girlfriend because I don't spend enough time with Lane.
*I confess that I have self esteem issues. I hate that I still have to do the squat lift trick when putting on jeans.
*I confess I get lonely.
*I confess that sometimes I just want to go back to high school and rid myself of responsibilities.

That's all. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

I hope you have a great day!

Guest posting

Friends,

I'm over at Prairie Princess' today. She's out of town and gave me full power to take over her blog. Come and say hi or just read what I had to say.

Happy Monday!

It's Flippin' Friday Friends!

I hope you all know the drill by now but here's a quick refresher. Today is Friday (duh!) and I'm linking up with Prairie Princess and Princess of the Panhandle to tell you all the good, the bad and the ugly for this week. I'm flipping on all the good and giving a big flip off to the bad. Got it? Okay, great.

FLIP ON:
...to rocking the scale yesterday. Down 2 pounds!
...to Bubs wedding tomorrow. I'm super excited for her!
...to my motivation this week. I've got so much done for work.
...to my new hair, I'm loving it!
...to scheduling my EMT test.
...to the ability to laugh. We all have it so don't forget to use it.
...to my friend D who has worked out with me 4 times this week.
...to seeing my family again tomorrow. That's twice in one month.
...to spending some QT with momma and sister.

FLIP OFF:
...to that IDIOT who shot all those people in Colorado last night.
...to tan lines. Once you get them they never seem to go away.
...to my friend N who is hitting up Nash-vegas before me! (J/K N, I'm super excited for you)
...to my g-ma who still has low SpO2 reading and can't come home from the rehab facility.

I believe that is all. Not a lot to flip off but that's always a plus. I hope you all had a great week. Have a fantastic weekend!

I found it!

Friends!
I have something very exciting to tell you: first, I'm not engaged or pregnant. HA! It's not that exciting. I found something that has been lost for quite some time now and it's been sooo frustrating. Want to know what it is? Ok, I'll tell you. I found my MOTIVATION to workout again. What?! That's not exciting enough for you? Well let me give you a few reasons why it's good to have it back.
1. I NEVER-EVER want to look like this again:
 2. I want to look like this again: (don't mind the goofy photos)


3. I'd like to run another half marathon.
4. I feel a lot better and more confident.
5. I'll fit into my bridesmaid dress (not that it doesn't fit but ask K about her wedding...that was traumatic)

So I've regained my motivation but the hardest part is keeping. I have lots of support from friends and family but it does no good if I don't believe in myself. 

Here I go...I'm teaming up with Arnold and I'm going to sweat off the pounds and firm up my butt!

Have an awesome Thursday!

These are my confessions

Happy Wednesday Friends! I was laying in bed last night experiencing my usual night time anxiety thinking about how I have only blogged on Friday's. Totally LAME! Then I was wondering what in the world should I blog about? Then it hit me...I am going to blog about some confessions. There is no need for "Forgive me father, for I have sinned" because let's face it, we all sin every day. But if you want to pretend you're on the other side of the confessional, go right ahead. I shall now confess the following:
*I confess every night I wish I was rich with 4 cars, 2 horses some cows and one amazing house.
*I confess that I want to be a size 6 and love working out.
*I confess that I have an addiction to food.
*I confess that I hate my degree and I wish someone would have told me how pointless it is.
*I confess that I tell Lane Frost to propose to me about every other day.
*I confess I have major baby fever.
*I confess that some day I want to move back to Montana.
*I confess that I had a fluff and nutter sandwich the other day and had zero guilt because it was delish!
*I confess that I failed my national EMT exam and I'm afraid to retake it.
*I confess that I hardly wear any makeup or fix my hair because I'm lazy and I don't know how to do it.
*I confess I miss my ability to be comfortable in heels.
*I confess that it pisses me off that I'm always cleaning the cat box.

That enough for now. Maybe next week I'll have some more confessions but until next time, have the most fabulous Wednesday ever!

Jump up, arch your back and flip!

Hey Friends!
Guess what today is? I'm sure you really don't have to guess because most of us look forward to this day all week. Happy FRIDAY! I'm linking up again with Prairie Princess and Princess of the Panhandle to honor this fine day by flipping a few things on and flipping a few things off!

FLIP ON:
...to my longer hair. If I'm being uber lazy in the morning I just french braid it up.
...to the Relay for Life. Fantastic organization that SAR is helping with tonight through tomorrow.
...to my trainer. She wants to slap me across the face but she's refrained and I appreciate that.
...to my friend who sent a "remember this email?" and it made me laugh and laugh! I'm so dramatic.
...to my new found motivation to kick some butt and get my EMT test done.

FLIP OFF:
...to the lawn that is like a jungle. I will mow today, I will mow today.
...to my love for the cream of ice, you are ruining my life!
...to my gma being in the hospital. She's a fighter so I'm hoping she'll be home soon.
...to my house. I think during the day it grows arms and deliberately throws crap around making it more messy.
...to weeds! I cannot keep up with it. (my garden is growing quite nicely though)
...to FAT. Enough said

That's it everyone. I hope you have a fantastic day! Try not to flip out but if you do, make it a good one.

Utterly naughty but OHHHHH so NICE!

Okay ladies,

It's official, I dropped some dough to see the worst/best movie of the year. Yup, the girls and I saw Magic Mike. Man-kinis, delicious butts, rock solid abs, dance moves to make you holler, and Joe Manganiello. ENOUGH SAID! The story line is stupid but really who's there for the story? Show us your moves men! My friends D and H joined me as I screamed, hooted and clapped. That's right, I clapped. Who wouldn't when there is a giant shot of Channing Tatum's ass? So this is what I recommend, get you girlfriends, go to dinner, grab some pop corn and see this show!

The only down fall is when it's over, you realize you really weren't at the venue throwing dollars at the men. So you wallow in self-pitty for a moment knowing you'll never have any of that man-steel up in your face.

Happy Thursday and you are welcome!
