Series: Updating my life

There comes a time in every woman's life when they evaluate and strategize (if necessary) about if and how they need to make changes to themselves..... 

Getting married has brought something to my attention: I need an update.

*I sort of talked about it in this post*

Since I have identified and am now fully aware of my need, it's time to figure out what exactly needs to change and where I should start...... Simple right? You'd be surprised how complicated I tend to make things :)

These are the things I feel as though need some updating:

• Wardrobe/accessories/shoes
• Home decor
• Hair

My wardrobe issue is actually an ongoing thing, since the beginning of the year I've been trying to get that together..... and failed miserably. Plus in the past 6 months I've given away alot of my clothes so it causes me to look like a rerun more often than not...... BUT! It doesn't stop me from trying again.... and again..... and again lol My main issue is that whenever I go into a store I don't see anything I like or I feel like whatever I do see that has potential, there are like 3 other girls right behind me picking up the same item and they are about 5 or 6 years younger! Does this mean I still have high school style? Or am I shopping in the wrong department? 

 Our apt decor could definitely use an update mainly because, well we don't actually have any. What I mean is there isn't much...... flow. Sure there are a few decorations but nothing really goes together, on purpose? I struggle with this because our space is not massive so if there is too much going on, it makes the place look junky and I hate that! So really the deal is to find ways to decorate while keeping the space as open and de-cluttered as possible. There's a challenge...... 

My hair. Nothing is wrong with my hair, it's growing fine and recovering rather nicely thank you ! It's just....  boring. I think that's my real problem; I am bored with my hair. No, I don't want to cut it and although I've been thinking of color I don't plan to do anything permanent at the moment. My hairstyles are what have me in a funk about my entire head. I'm always putting my hair up in some type of bun or clip, I can't ever find anything cute to do with it! Then I can never think of anything cute and quick to do if hubby and I want to go out to eat or decide to do something spontaneous. It's frustrating. Maybe I should start back going to the salon on a more regular basis..... I don't know yet though.

I'm sure there are other areas in my little life that need some updating but right now I feel as though these need the most attention so I'll focus here first. Really excited about rerouting my energy towards things that will help in my quest of channeling the wife inside of me.... Cause right now I still don't feel like one.

Is that normal? Let's not even think about what's normal and what isn't lol..... I will try to update on this topic at least once a week so be on the look out for it:)

I'm ready to update my life.... are you? You should join me! I would love to have some buddies in this journey; you don't have to do the same ones as me, you could update any area of your life whether it be work, school, or personal-related.... we can all use some updating! Leave a comment, link up to this page or do both!! 

This lady.......

Since I no longer have a class to attend on Tuesdays I decided yesterday to pick up a shift a my job. I was placed on a floor I was unfamiliar with so at lunch time I figured I would just sit down in the cafeteria and eat rather than go back to the break room with strangers. Well I don't remember if I told you guys this but my clinical class comes to the hospital I work at...... and of course I end of spotting one of my classmates in the cafeteria. It was sort of awkward cause I knew I was going to be asked why I wasn't in class but up at work. I explained the sitch and then we sat down together to eat. One of my other classmates walks in and sits down next to me and we all start chit chatting.....  THEN......

*Cue my instructor*
In walks my teacher.....

I didn't really pay any attention to her at first because she usually gets her food and goes back into one of the breakrooms, but apparently this day she spotted us and invited herself to sit. It didn't phase me at all that she wanted to sit with us- she came over, spoke to me, put her soup and drink down and then

PICKED UP ONE OF MY DAMN FRIES AND PUT IT IN HER MOUTH!!!!! 

Yea, no seriously! And it happened so fast I don't think it registered to her right away, if at all. Just took a fry off my plate and shoved it in her pie hole, like we kick it that. We don't by the way. (naturally cause she dropped me from her class remember?????) How does that make it okay for you to touch my food?? When it happened I made a face like "trick, what has gotten into you?" When she walked off to get something else I looked over at one of my classmates and said "did she just take one of fries?" My classmate was just nodding her head and cracking up...... granted it was funny, but I was still a little shocked that my teacher had just "debo-ed" my food. *Debo= strong arming or taking anything just because you carry a heavy presence..... definition based of a character in the fictional based movie "Friday" starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker..... must see movie to truly understand definition LOL*

I couldn't wait to get home and tell Lewis, I knew he would enjoy the story- and he did lol The nerve of some people......

Idle chit chat

Have you ever been so tired of studying that at one point you think you are studying, but really you were just staring blindly at the pages? Like your mind turns off and literally will not absorb anymore information....... That's what I'm currently dealing with for one of my final exams. Seriously, my brain said "girl, we are at capacity with that ish!!" There is nothing more I can study for this class so I officially gave up as of 12:05 this afternoon lol. My final is tomorrow at 1 so maybe I'll get up early then and give it one more try....

I have no idea where to begin (again) with the wedding planning! When I stopped I was contemplating designs for save the date cards/ engagement pics...... Down to 8months on Friday and so.much.to.do.

Why is it that whenever it's a few days before you get a relaxer that your scalp decides it wants to act ultra sensitive and give you a bad case of the itchies???!?!?!? I have been "patting" and rubbing like a mad woman all day cause my scalp feels like something is crawling on it!! Is that subconscious?



I'm thinking of doing "Idle chit chat" posts on the regular just to get some conversation flowing, what do you think? I love feedback so post your idle chat thoughts down in the comment section!!
