• I already miss being with my boyfriend, the only thing that's getting me through life right now is his yummy smelling t-shirt. I miss him so bad I went to Target and purchased and currently am using the same manly body wash he uses
• I want to buy a planner, of course, but I'm saving money now - like an adult
• I'm only working 6 hours this week -.-
• I have a load of laundry to do
• It's so hot out I should wash my sheets too
• This heat is making me break out badly

Seeing my boyfriend in New Jersey

Yesterday, I came back from my mini vacation to the East coast. I had so much fun seeing the love of my life, finally, after 9-10 years. And, his family made sure to remind me countless times that he isn't allowed to move to California! So, if I'm planning on staying with him, which I am, I got to get my shit together and move out there! Which, if I'm with him, I don't mind. For me, everything felt perfect. Conversation between us wasn't forced, and of course the first few hours we were both pretty shy.... until I took the lunge and kissed him!! It was so weird to see him in person. From when he picked me up @ the airport, up until when he drove me back to the airport, I couldn't stop staring at him while he drove us around with this big goofy smile on my face.

We weren't able to go out a lot because I got really bad cramps that lasted 3 days, but we were both fine cuddling up and watching TV or talking in his bed about us and the past and our future together. I'm so happy we finally took the initiative to have this happen. We also talked about when he's coming here, and hopefully, he's going to try to come in December. I can barely hold on until then, the pain of leaving was so bad. Skype and the phone have to keep me company until he can smile his eye wrinkling smile in person and wrap his arms around me and cuddle into my chest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• I have work today, 11-2:30. I usually work 11-2 so I know when 2 rolls around I'll be dreading having to stay even longer
• Wednesday I meet with my surgeon, I'm more nervous then excited
• I have work Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm going to start packing on Sunday since I finish work @ 4pm. I'm so excited to pack cute outfits for New Jersey (Also, I crossed off, "Go to New Jersey" in my 23 before 24 list)

 

I went to Warwicks in hope of another planner.... They have a bunch of pocket size domino planners in different colors, and I love my petal pocket... but then I was looking in the note-cards section, and realized I couldn't afford any of their box sets... I then went to the aisle that had cards such as birthday, blank, family, and weddings. I found this rifle paper company card that I fell in love with. I have a bunch of note-cards I'm going to frame someday and place around my apartment. This is one of them. I then went to the Kate Spade store, and with their clearance and my coupon I bought the 2014 pocket size planner inserts. They're adorable and water colored. They feel so fancy, I don't even want to write in them yet :/

My friends and I love going to Target so much, I decided to start a segment here called, "Target Adventures" which will feature purchases, stories, or even photos of things I want but can't buy yet :( Today, I was already in the area looking for shoes for my trip, and I was going to pay when I noticed my previous wallet's zipper was getting caught! I hate when that happens! I had no receipt on me, so I was able to get some money credited onto a gift card which went to my new clearance wallet and a Dr. Pepper, with $1 and some coins left over which are now in my pretty new wallet. So far, I love it. I love the color and all the card slot areas. I'm just a little not sure about the button snap but hopefully it will stay shut. I already took the pen out of the coin area that I was going to keep in there, just in case that wanted to fail on me

I can't wait to start on my photo diary of Marcy's pregnancy

 

 

 

 

I finally feel a little confident with my Petal Filofax pocket planner. I've been putting Washi tape all over it, putting pretty cut-out paper on some of the dates, and I made my own dividers for it. I currently have 3, "Weekly", "Blog", and "Notes". I wanted to share some of the "weekly" section for you all. My divider is made out of paper from Michael's that I used to trace the original Filo dividers. I used a pink flag sticky note for the label. I glued my daisy paper to a heavier paper, then put clear duct tape over it to make sure it feels sturdy. I love them.

 

 

 

I can check off the "Tuesday Review Day" box now!

 

 

• I've been thinking about quitting my job, already. The job is totally not worth it, all the money I'm making is going to my gas. I get 3 hour shifts and I make $9 an hour. I drive 30 minutes each way, and if I'm closing I don't get home until 10pm. I don't enjoy driving that far at night. I love the customers, but I really don't think it's working out. I told my boss my issues and she said she can give me 4 hour shifts if I push our credit card on customers, which I don't like. Sometimes she'll schedule me for a 4 hour shift, then change her mind a week before and give me a 3 hour one, taking away my first scheduled shift. Ugh.
• I HAVE BEEN GOING CRAZY WITH FEELS BECAUSE...................MY BOYFRIEND BOUGHT ME A TICKET TO GO SEE HIM! It's the first step of many, if we want to keep moving forward with our relationship, but I'm super excited and nervous! I've been trying to get ready mentally, and figure out what I'm bringing... I'll be there for 5 days, which means tons of outfits so I can take a million 'couples photos' together and make it look like we were together longer than we were :p
• I also just got approved to go forth with the lap-band surgery! I have an appointment scheduled for next week that will go over the procedure, maybe get my body vitals, and make a surgery date! IT'S HAPPENING SO FAST, OMG.
• Hopefully this week or next week Natalie's mail shows up from Canada! She made me the dividers she posted about for my pocket Filofax! So excited!!
