A Wonderful Wedding Weekend
In two days, my cousin, best friend, and (sorority) sister, Stephanie, is getting married. I am beyond excited for her and her soon-to-be hubby, Tyler. The wedding festivities start tomorrow with the rehearsal and end on Saturday with a day out on the lake with some of the wedding party and guests. I'm so honored to be a bridesmaid and can't wait to see how unbelievably beautiful she looks on Friday.

Yes, Please!
Hot guys, cheesy plot, and a love story...yes, please! I cannot wait to see Magic Mike. Since I know Kevin isn't going to be taking me, my momma and I have decided to make it a date.
As Seen on TV
What started out as a joke has turned into reality. Today, I went to Walgreens and purchased a Magic Mesh for my parent's back door. The dogs are constantly running in and out and Maggie (the younger one) likes to lay at the back door in the mornings and look out. With the Magic Mesh, she can look out as much as she wants and we don't have to worry about all the bugs coming in.
My mom wasn't too keen on the idea, but Dad and I overruled her. We put everything up this morning and it actually works. Maggie quickly figured out how to get through it, but CiCi is still working on that part.

Clean Eating
Italy was not good to my waistline. While we ate more homemade meals and used natural ingredients, I ate more carbs in the six months I was there than I had in years. Even with working out 4-5 times a week, I managed to gain 7 pounds. And these days the pounds don't fall off like they use to when I was 20 years old.
Since getting back to the States about a month ago, I have really tried to clean up my act. Granted, I have indulged in a few of my American favorites, but overall I've been following a low carb, all-natural diet. I'm back to my organic foods and really trying to cut down on my sweet intake. And starting tomorrow, I'm going to try my hand at eating only food you can grow or that come from animals (sorry to all the vegetarians out there).
Tonight, my parents and I hit up our local Farmer's Market. It's small, but they have everything you need and a little of the stuff you don't need. We got a bag of peaches, a basket of tomatoes, a head of cabbage, some zucchini, and organic ground beef. And since I'm being honest here, we also got a Texas cake and lemon-raspberry coffee cake. I am going to try my hardest to stay away from the sweets and let my dad take care of those though.
From now on, I'm going to try to make a weekly trip to the Farmer's Market. I love the idea of buying local goods and helping out the farmers in our community.

The cough is back
The cough I had back in March is now back with a vengeance. Originally, I thought it was my allergies, but after a week of coughing all day and sleeping very little, I realized it was something more than allergies. As I said before, I hate taking medication, but since I have a million things going on right now, I had to take something. I tried an OTC cough syrup and allergy pills, but those didn't work.
Yesterday, I went to the doctor and he said he has no idea what's causing the cough (thank Doc). He is treating me for an infection (upper respiratory, sinus) and hoping the medicine clears everything up. And bless his heart, he gave me a cough syrup with codeine.
I've taken the cough syrup with codeine before so I knew it was going to put me into my own little world. It makes me feel like I'm floating...seriously. I took it yesterday during the day and after about two hours, I started sweating profusely and my hands were shaky. I realized that it was probably due to the fact that I hadn't eaten very much so I downed a turkey burger and felt a lot better. From now on, I'm going to try to only take the cough syrup at night.
Fingers crossed the cough goes away soon. I have a bridal shower this weekend and I don't want to be known as the bridesmaid who coughed all over everyone. And if it doesn't go away, the guests will be getting surgical masks for favors.

Working Woman
 | |
| I'm pretty sure this will be me on Monday. |
My 9 months vacation of not working comes to an end on Monday. That means I have to be up, ready, and out of the house by 7:30 AM. This is going to be a hard one for me considering I've spent the last 7 months of my life staying up until 1:00 AM and sleeping until at least 9:00 AM (sometimes 11:00 AM). Now that I'm in Springfield, my sleeping habits still aren't any better. This is all going to change though now that I'm a working woman.
