Not Me Monday

There were not 30 of us all from high school who went together to our friends wedding in West Virginia (some of the 30 were significant others of those from high school). I did not have an AWESOME time hanging out with some of our close friends and catching up with some of the other friends I hadn’t seen in awhile! :)

The ride down was not a really fun early morning trip. We did not start off with bloody mary’s and mimosas at 8am. (everyone BUT Vince who was being the responsible driver for the rest of us.. thank you Vince! )

We did not all end up deciding about an hour before the rehearsal dinner to rent a coach bus to take us to and from the dinner. (it ended up being a very smart choice considering the dinner was about 40mins from the hotel and no one was in the proper state of mind to be driving back haha) The bus ride back was not one of the highlights of the night. (it was like open mic night the whole way back haha)

We did not wake up Saturday and all kind of stumble down to breakfast in our pj’s trying to wake up and figure out what to do all day since the wedding wasn’t until 5pm.

Those of us who were not in the wedding party did not decide to go bowling that morning. We did not end up having a ton of fun.

The wedding was not GORGEOUS with tons of beautiful flowers EVERYWHERE. The reception was not SO. MUCH. FUN. And did not sort of feel like a mini high school reunion (you the kind that is only filled with the people from high school you actually want to see instead of the awkard conversations with people you never liked anyways.. haha)

We did not all end up at the hotel bar until the wee hours of the morning (taking wayyy too many shots).. some of the pictures prove that we all got a little sloppy towards the end… lol

The following morning did not consist of lots of bottles of water and advil for everyone and people passing cameras around looking at all of the pictures that are way too embarrassing to ever been seen online.. hahaha

There were not a lot “only in West Virginia” comments throughout the whole weekend.

The ride home Sunday did not seem a LOT longer than the ride there. (all our severe hangovers may have had something to do with that..)

I am not excited that I will see most of the same people again this coming weekend for another friends wedding!

I also am not SUPER excited that the season finale of the Bachelorette is on tonight! I do not REALLY want her to pick Chris… and am not praying that reality steve is completely wrong in saying she ends up single..

( MckMama normally hosts the Not Me Monday every week.. but she is currently at the hospital getting ready to have her baby! Congrats to MckMama and the rest of her family!!)

Hope you all had a great weekend and happy Monday! :o)

Not Me Monday

I am not really happy that my mom has been here visiting since Wednesady. I am not also super sad that she left to go back to St Louis today

I am not thankful that I got to take my mom to see where our new house will be and walk her through one of the spec homes and show her all of the different options we picked for counters/cabinets/floors/etc. I do not really like my my moms taste in decor and always appreciate her opinion when it comes to all things decorating.

I was not a little irritated last Friday when I got up at 5am to get set-up for a 7am meeting that was cancelled the night before but I didn't get the email. I did not complain about it for awhile that morning...

I was also not slightly annoyed that our power was out Thursday and Friday (plus when our power is our we don't have water either.. which made it a little difficult to get ready for the rehearsal dinner..) we did not end up having to stay at the hotel Friday night so we could be ready for all of the wedding festivities this weekend.

We did not all have a great time at Dave (Vince's brother) and Lauren's wedding on Saturday! (I have a bunch of pictures that I plan to post later today, but I haven't had the time to upload them yet)

I was not glad that it was sunny and nice on Saturday for the wedding. It may have been hot as heck, but at least it wasn't raining... I mean honestly who wants to stand outside in a bridesmaids dress taking pictures in the rain all afternoon.. not me!

It did not make it even more fun because of all of the friends from high school who were there. See how many of us there were? haha (I borrowed this picture from a friend ;))

We were not ALL completely exhausted (and slightly hungover) on Sunday.

I did not go shopping onSsunday with my mom to buy more stuff for my house that is not even built yet... haha. I did not acutally get so excited I did a little dance in the store over finding curtains in the perfect color for our kitchen and family room. lol.

I am not somewhat relieved to have a low key week at work so I can catch up on some paperwork and other fun stuff like that. ;)

Hope you all had a great weekend :o)

Not Me Monday

I am not counting down the days in this crazy busy week until Vince and I leave for vacation for 10 DAYS! (I will be in Atlantic City Tuesday and Wednesday, Harrisburg on Thursday, then finally home Friday so I can catch our flight to Florida.. see I told you it was a busy week!)

I was not extremely glad to finally have time to meet with my boss today to go over a ton of things we have been working on lately (the meeting was over 3 hours.. we seriously had so much to discuss)

I have not been a horrible blogger for well over a month. I do not feel like such a slacker every time I look at my blog. I am not hoping that once we get back from vacation and through the crazy busy month of June that I can finally get a normal routine back. 

I did not freak out and literally run upstairs like a little girl when I saw a spider in the basement this morning. I do not HATE spiders. (I get chills just thinking about it.. ughh)

I did not get nervous that it was going to rain yesterday and ruin the bridal shower that we planned for my brother-in-law's fiance. I was not so happy when the weather ended up ok and that the shower turned out really nice!

with the bride to be

we did setup the tables inside just in case it started to rain during the shower

Lauren and all of her bridesmaids :)

The happy couple <3

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all have a good week :o)

Not Me Monday

I am not SUPER busy today (so please forgive me if this is short, or if there are typos because I am typing this super fast! haha)... and also not proud of how much I got accomplished on a Monday!

I did not have a great time on Saturday at Shelley's shower and bachelorette party. (It's always nice to have nights out with just the girls!) 

I did not literally just get a picture message from my best friend Kaitlin (while actually typing this post) of her new baby niece, who was just born! She is not SO freaking adorable!!.. and no it did not make me think about having babies... haha ;)

Vince and I did not drop Ty off at the groomers yesterday and then spend ALL afternoon driving around looking at houses. I do not love this part of buying a new house. (but seriously.. I get so happy looking at all the different places.. it's like an obsession)

and speaking of obsessions.. I am NOT 100% addicted to watching HGTV. It is not on all the time at my house.

I am not looking forward to leaving work soon to go meet Angela and Steph for dinner. I do not love getting together with them just to hang out and catch up for a little bit!

I did not get excited yesterday when Vince said he wanted to go to Ruth's Chris Tuesday night for dinner. (as a way of celebrating selling our first house!) and no it does not make me smile that I do not have to cook dinner tonight or tomorrow ;o) haha

Hope you all are having a good Monday! (1 day down, 4 to go!)

Not Me Monday

The rain today does not make me super lazy.. (which is part of the reason I have taken so long to post this week's not me Monday..)

Vince and I did not have a great time skiing in Vermont this weekend. I do not love spring skiing and not having to bundle up as much! (it's so nice to actually be able to move when I ski haha)

We did not go out to a nice dinner Saturday night and then sit at the bar in the lodge listening to live music. The guy performing was not awesome.. we did not end up buying his cd that night.

On Sunday I did not make Vince stop at the very first Walmart I saw on the ride back so that I could buy New Moon. I did not also make him promise that we could watch it after dinner that night. (and yes I' had already seen it, but I was still very excited to watch it again haha)

I did not finally start reading The Last Song on our way back to PA. (I bought it to read over a month ago, but got caught up in a couple other books instead) I was not hooked after just the first couple of pages. I am not a huge Nicholas Sparks fan :)

Vince and I were not super excited to pick Ty up from his parent's hosue when we got home. We are not very thankful to have family around to watch him when we go away. (I would feel too bad having to leave him in a kennel haha) It's kind of pathetic how much we can miss a dog.. I can only imagine what we will be like when we have kids.. haha

I'm not kind of glad to have another busy week at work, because it makes the week go by faster. Now if only it were May already so we could be getting ready for our vacation, that would be fabulous..  

I am not looking forward to going to a friend's bridal shower and bachelorette party on Saturday. (It is officially wedding season.. and we have a LOT of weddings this year! lol)

I am not getting ready to watch 24 with the hubby, followed by reading in bed until I fall asleep... hope you all have a good night! 

Happy Monday :o)

Not Me Monday

I did not press the snooze button repeatedly this morning. I'm never lazy, I always jump right out of bed when the alarm goes off..

I did not get really good news at work on Friday about an account I have been working on for awhile, and I did not get even more good news for another account today at work :)

I am not completely sick of all the rain we have been getting the past few days.. I am not praying for the sun to come out soon!

I did not have a great weekend with Amy, we did not go out with friends on Friday and Saturday night and we did not both sleep in very late on Sunday because of it haha..

my p.i.c <3

Cheers!

me and steph 

 Amy and I do not love our new tattoos ;-)

I am not looking forward to watching Jessica Simpson's new show tonight The Price of Beauty.. (hopefully it's good!)

Speaking of shows I did not watch the new show Pretty Wild.. I did not find the girls really annoying (it's not a show I plan to watch anymore)

Ok, gotta run! HAPPY MONDAY everyone :o)

(Make sure to join in the Not Me Monday fun over at MckMama's blog!)

Not Me Monday

I am not absolutely exhausted today due to how much fun I had over the weekend..

I did not have a GREAT time in DC with some of my favorite hokies :)

We did not spend Friday night in catching up and drinking wine.. between 4 of us, we did not drink 7 bottles of wine.

We did not go out in Georgetown on Saturday night and stay up until way past my normal bed time. 

 

 

We did not make plans to get together again next month and those plans do not involve tattoos.... 

Vince did not surprise me when I got home Sunday with a date night<3 It did not consist of seeing Dear John and having dinner at PF Chang's (so good!). 

We did not come home and watch the season finale of The Kardashians. I do not secretly love that show. 

I also do not love The Bachelor (even though I can't stand Vienna). I am not excited to watch the women tell all episode tonight!

I am not being a bad wife and ordering dinner tonight because I am simply too lazy to cook right now.. (and still slightly hungover)

I am not happy Monday is over so that it's one less day until the weekend comes around again ;o)

(Make sure to join in the Not Me Monday fun over at MckMama's blog!)

Not Me Monday

I did not have a great time on Friday on the ski trip. It did not make my day today when I got multiple emails from clients who were on the trip saying what a good time they had. 

This weekend did not go by way too fast as always...

I did not start cracking up last night when I got this message from Vince after I sent him to the grocery store to get a cucumber that I needed for dinner... "how awkward.. I was behind Mr. Hancock in line and all I had was a cucumber and hair gel" (Mr. Hancock was one of his football coaches from high school). Nope I wouldn't find that funny, I am not that immature.

I did not stay up and watch all of the Grammys last night. I did not think that it was a really good show. My favorite part was not watching the red carpet. I do not wish I was famous just so that I could wear some of these awesome dresses... 

 

  

It was not extremely hard to get out of bed this morning. I do not want to go crawl back into it right now. 

I am not very thankful that Vince just sent me an email asking if we could go out to dinner tonight.. I would never go spend money on dinner rather than just make something myself. 

I am not already looking forward to Friday when Monday is not even over... 

Well here's hoping we all have a good (and fast) week!

Not Me Monday

I am not a little grumpy today because it is a rainy Monday. blah..

I did not have a really good time this weekend with Vince and some of our friends. We did not get a little competitive while playing video games at Dave and Busters until 1am. We did not use our points at the end to buy Ty a stuffed dog that is 3 times his size. He did not growl and bark at the stuffed dog the first half hour we bought it home. 

Vince and I did not spend Saturday afternoon shopping, looking at houses, and driving around singing loudly to old rap songs (ex. Nelly's air force ones). 

We didn't spend the rest of the night at home watching 2 movies, drinking wine, and playing games either. It was not the perfect and relaxing alone time we needed after usually having weekends packed with random things we have to do. 

I do not have a very thoughtful mother-in-law who showed up at my house yesterday with 4 dresses she got me on sale at Lord and Taylor, I was not super excited when they all fit perfectly. I will not be wearing them for all of the different weddings we have this summer. 

I am not looking forward to the ski trip I have been planning for work on Friday. I will not be making a big pitcher of bloody mary's for everyone riding the bus to the mountain. I do not think that it is awesome that this is the kind of thing I do for a living. 

I am not a little nervous about the new workout routine Vince and I are starting tomorrow morning. (mainly because I know I am going to be pretty sore the first few days haha)

I am not glad that Monday is almost over so that it is one less day until the weekend rolls back around ;)

Not Me Monday

I was not jealous this morning when the alarm went off and Vince got to stay in bed while I had to go to work. I did not think about calling out and staying home with him instead... and once I got to work I was not glad that I went instead of wasting a personal day (I don't have very many).

Vince and I did not stay in Friday night and watch Grey's Anatomy (we didn't get a chance to watch it Thursday) and then decide to spend the night cleaning and organizing our house. We did not both agree afterwards that we were happy we stayed in and did things around our house instead of going out with friends. Nope we are not that old and boring.

I was not happy Saturday morning when I woke up and realized I had already finished all of my chores for the weekend and could spend the rest of the time relaxing.

I did not have a LOT of fun saturday playing games until 3am with some of our best friends. I have not decided that game nights are better than bar nights. 

I was not disappointed with the movie The Lovely Bones. I did not think that it was extremely drawn out. The book was not SO much better than the movie. 

I did not get excited Sunday after having a meeting with our realtor. I know that we have to sell the house before we can actually move and I would never get my hopes up like that. Nope, not me. 

I am not getting ready to go out to dinner with Vince for the second Monday in row because I don't feel like going to grocery store right now. (but in my defense I did cook every other night last week!)

Hope everyone has a good week! At least Monday is already over :)

Not Me Monday

I did not have a great night out Friday with friends. I did not originally say I wanted it to be an early night and then end up staying out until 2am. I was not completely exhausted the next morning and it was not totally worth it. 

On Saturday I did not drag Vince to a bunch of stores looking for something to wear to his work party. I did not pout or get in a bad mood when I couldn't find anything, nope not me.. I am way more mature than that. I did not eventually find something to wear. (thank goodness!)

I was not very disappointed that the Eagles lost again this weekend.

Vince and I did not both pass out yesterday afternoon on the couch for 2 hours after looking at houses. It was not a much needed nap, I do not wish I was taking a nap right now.

I did not drive around to 6 (yes actually 6!) stores looking for season 2 of One Tree Hill on DVD. I was not super excited when I finally found it at Best Buy. (even though it was a lot more expensive than it would have been at wal-mart and target had they not been sold out) 

I am not looking forward to a date night with my husband tonight. I do not feel like it has been awhile since we have gone out just the two of us and it is not much needed. We are not going out to one of my favorite restaurants followed by watching the Bachelor. I do not love watching that show (even if it is Jake.. ugh), nope I would never waste my time watching something so cheesy. 

I am not already looking forward to the weekend when it's only Monday.  


Hope everyone has a good week!

Not Me Monday

I did not have a great time in the Poconos celebrating New Years. Vince and I were not so exhausted when we got home Saturday night that we went to sleep at 9:30pm.

I have not become obsessed with playing games. I was not super happy when everyone decided to play catch phrase on Friday night. I also did not get competitive later this weekend over a game of scrabble with Vince. I am not a sore loser at all. 

I did not enjoy going house hunting yesterday afternoon with Vince. I do not get excited thinking about putting  our townhouse on the market so we can actually buy a new place. (i really do love our house now, but we always planned to only stay here for a couple of years) I did not have dreams all last night about moving and decorating a new house. Seriously who does that?

I did not really enjoy the movie Avatar yesterday. I do not recommend that everyone go see it in theater in 3D asap. 

Today was not an extremely busy day at work, I was not proud of myself with how much I got accomplished on a Monday. I was not so tired by 5pm today that I almost decided to lounge on the couch instead of going to my zumba class. I was not glad that I changed my mind and ended up going.

I am not now currently on the couch wearing my snuggie, drinking tea, laying with Vince and Ty and waiting for the Bachelor to start :)

Not Me Monday

I did not enjoy being able to watch all of the snow this past weekend knowing I didn't have to go anywhere.

Vince and I did not try to make Ty wear a sweater to go outside in the snow. He did not then refuse to keep it on for more than .5 seconds. He also did not look adorable in it..

I did not then take Ty outside and let him roll around and get completely covered in the snow. He did not LOVE it. (thank goodness he was getting groomed the next day!)

I did not spend part of the afternoon wrapping more gifts and organizing them under the tree. I also did not get excited about getting more Christmas cards to hang on our ribbon :)

 

(both pics are a little dark because I took them with my phone)

I did not decide today after work to go out and pick up a couple more gifts that weren't on my list just because I felt like it..

And because of shopping after work I did not get home later than normal and then not have time to cook anything for dinner other than a frozen pizza. Nope I am a much better wife than that, I would never just make a frozen pizza (other than maybe on a weekend).

I am not super excited to see my family IN TWO DAYS!! I am also not really happy to spend our first Christmas in our home with everyone here<3

(join in the "not me! monday" posts at MckMama's blog)

Not Me Monday

Vince and I did not have a fun weekend of Christmas shopping (which did not include listening to Christmas music in the car), eating, drinking, going out with friends, and seeing New Moon.

I did not make plans to see New Moon again with my sister before evening seeing it the first time. (I did not really enjoy the movie, even if the book was better)

Vince and I did not go look at puppies on Saturday, we are not considering getting a friend for Ty. Nope not me, I am smart enough to know I don't need another puppy.. (but really Ty would LOVE a friend!)

I am not counting down the hours until noon on Wednesday. I am not that excited about having some time off work.

I am not getting ready to head to the grocery store to get stuff for appetizers to take to my mother-in-laws on Thursday. I am not looking forward to eating all that good food. (I am also not somewhat sad to be celebrating Thanksgiving without my family for the first time ever)

I am not starting to feel sick today and I am not praying that it's nothing. It would not completely suck to be sick on Thanksgiving.

I am not planning on getting up at 4am on Black Friday to go shopping. My husband was not the best and offered to get up on his day off and go with me, without me even having to ask. I am not one of those crazy shoppers who stands outside the store in the cold while its still dark just waiting for the doors to open... nope not me.

I am not amazed that Sunday will already be our 1 year anniversary. I do not feel like we just got married. I am not super excited about going to spend the night Saturday at the hotel where we had our reception. I also did not get the baker to make us another red velvet cake with white chocolate mouse filling for our anniversary. My mouth is not watering just thinking about it... ;-)

Not Me Monday

I did not moan and groan about having to get up for work this morning. I was not extremely jealous that Vince has off today. I would never complain about working.. nope not me.

I did not go shopping at King of Prussia on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I was not proud of myself for getting half of my christmas gifts done :)

I did not get teary eyed at the Princess Diana exhibit in the city this weekend.. I am never that emotional, especially not in public. nope not me. (side note: if you live near Philly and haven't gone yet, definitely go before it closes it was really good!)

My mother-in-law and I were not so busy talking on the train ride home from Philly that we missed our stop. I did not then complain when she said we would just walk the few miles back to the previous stop. I was not relieved that her sister called right as we started walking and offered to come pick us up... I would never be that lazy about walking 3 miles. nope not me.

I do not currently have a countdown in my office for Thanksgiving (9 days) and Christmas (39 days) and I do not get excited to come in and cross another day off each morning. (I also do not have a countdown for when we see New Moon on Sunday - 6 days)

I did not stay up reading late again last night. I am not exhausted and regretting that decision today.

I am not disobeying my Dr and wearing heels today. He did not tell me I couldn't wear them for 2 months. Nope, I always follow Dr's orders. (but in my defense, I am dressed in a knee length pencil skirt and it just looks weird with flats, besides I am in my office most of today so it's not like I am really walking in heels much) 

I am not looking forward to the happy hour event on Thursday that I put together for work. I am not already trying to think of something cute to wear for it. nope not me.

Not Me Monday

I did not get excited to watch the 2 hr special about Khloe Kardashian's wedding last night... I did not enjoy every minute of it. Nope not me!

I did not freak out when I found out we have mice at our work... I did not then proceed to sit in my office with my legs curled up in my chair and then jump at the smallest sounds, because OMG it could be a mouse!

I did not practically go through withdrawal this weekend when we ran out of diet green tea, and then run out on my lunch break today to go get more... I would never be addicted to tea like that..

I did not buy a bunch of wrapping paper, ribbons, and boxes today, I am not that excited for Christmas.. OK who am I kidding, I cannot wait! LOL

While at the orthopedics office I did not talk my way out of having to wear a boot on my foot and promise to be very careful and not use my foot other than walking and then I did not consider going to my Monday exercise class today.. nope I always listen to exactly what the Dr says. (thankfully my husband is a better patient than I am and convinced me that I should take it easy at least for a little bit)

I am not counting down the days until we get to see New Moon (yes we already have tickets) and I do not get excited every time I see the commercial for it. Nope not me..

I did not get super excited today when Vince and I finally booked our May vacation to DISNEY..  I do not smile every time I think about it. I am an adult and wouldn't get that excited about going to Disney World. (but seriously I can't wait! I used to live in Florida and went all the time as a kid, but haven't been in years and think it will be so much fun to go with just Vince... and look where we are staying..)

Not Me! Monday

I did not pre-order New Moon tickets for the first weekend the movie comes out, I would never be that obsessed with a teen love story... I also did not just finish reading New Moon for the 2nd time to get ready for the movie.. nope not me

I did not get bored last Monday night and decide to dye my hair using a box of hair color and my hair did not turn out o r a n g e... (and just fyi i did however fix my hair so I no longer look like a freak)

I did not go out and spend way too much money on a long brown wig for my halloween costume, nope that would be completely unnecessary and that is not something I would do just to wear one night.. definitely not me

I did not go see Paranormal Activity again because my friends wanted to and I did not get even more freaked out seeing it for a second time, I am an adult and scary movies do not bother me at all.. nope not me

I did not go out with friends Saturday night and drink way more than needed, and that did not result in me sleeping in late Sunday morning and then craving gross greasy fast food.. ugh I would never eat that stuff... not me

I did not pick Ty up from the groomers yesterday and get really annoyed that the lady cut his hair way too short even though she knows I don't like it short like that.. clearly I know it's just hair and it will grow back, I would never get upset about something so silly...

Not Me Monday..

Ugh is the weekend really over already? Well, guess that means it's time for the "not me monday" post...

I did not sleep in until 11am on Sunday and then go downstairs and lay on the couch watching tv for hours while my husband went grocery shopping and other things... nope not me, i'm never that lazy.

I did not throw clothes into the dryer on Saturday and then let them just sit there knowing they will be all wrinkled just because I don't feel like folding them... of course not, I am a much better housewife than that.

I did not leave my office and go home to finish up work last week when I saw a big bug walking around my desk... nope not me, I am not scared of a bug. (but seriously that thing was BIG and had lots of legssss)

I did not spend the first hour (or more) of my day today checking out all of my favorite celebrity blogs... I am not that obsessed with celebrity gossip. Nope not me.

Not Me Monday..

So I see other people doing the "not me monday" thing and figured I would give it a try... so here it goes..


I did not set my alarm on Saturday to get up early and go for a run and then wake up and go shopping instead.... nope not me.

While out shopping I did not go to wal-mart to pick up 1 thing and end up leaving with a whole car full (including a new bike).. nope I would never buy more than I planned.. not me.

I did not eat taco bell this weekend.. ew, gross. I would never eat that, not me.

I did not buy the hannah montana movie and cry while watching it... nope, not me, I am WAY too old to like that show.

I did not set my dvr to record 2 shows last night and then go upstairs to watch something else why they recorded... nope I am definitely not that obsessed with tv, not me.

I did not promise my husband that I would clean my overflowing closet and then end up throwing out only 1 bag of my stuff, but 3 bags of his to make more room... nope I wouldn't do that..

I did not stay up until 2am last night to finish reading the last harry potter book and then keep hitting the snooze button this morning and complain about being tired... nope I would never stay up that late for no good reason on a work night, not me.
