and doing it on a Saturday! :)

J got me a plane ticket to come see him, since he isn't able to come for Spring Break as planned! 

So in 38 days my happy little butt will be hopping on the plane, chugging alcoholic beverages so I won't freak out because of my fear of being air borne! haha. 

But it will all be worth it when I am back in his arms for a whole week! :D

After hearing so many great things about this book series,

I marched my butt into the book store and picked up a copy!

I haven't really got to start it since I have been super busy being lazy and not wanting to do a damn thing besides watch movies. But I plan to start it Monday! Hope it is as good as everyone makes it out to be. :)

Getting tan before I hit the beach & going back gradually to being back a blondie. :)

Actually sticking to working out!  Hello A LOT of squats, I am in need to get a ass! It is the cool thing now, duh! ;)

Going out with my twinsy, for some much needed girl time for these amazing drinks.

Dreamsicles drink

Whipped cream Vodka

AMAZINGNESS :)

long distance love.

 So today I am gonna talk about my long distance relationship with J.

He is a U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton in California,

and I am back patiently waiting for him to move back around Aug- December to GA.

when he get out of the Marines to go back to school so he can become an officer in the military! :) 

If you didn't know.

We have been in a relationship since the end of November.

We didn't go "facebook" official until the beginning of this month! 

(Everybody knows facebook makes the shit legit..lol!)

Why you ask? We didn't really know how this long distance shiz was gonna work out.

 

But somehow we manage it and it does work because I mean look at us we're too cute not to be a couple! hehe. I kid, but seriously we are happy to spend a little time together, even if that means more time apart. 

A lot of people think we're crah-crahzyyy!

(yeah..you probably do as well, it's okay.)

We talk on the phone for hours sometimes every night,

we send cute little lovey dovey messages too each other all day long,

send pictures and videos too each other randomly,

skype sometimes. Plan sweet little things we're going to do when we see each other next.

And, once we do get to see each other again,

hello again butterflys; first kiss, hug, etc. again; can't keep hands off of each other the whole time we are together; you know all the mushy lovey dovey stuff! :) 

We make it work and our love is strong! 

A lot of people think we're crah-crahzyyy!

(yeah..you probably do as well, it's okay.)

LOVE MAKES YOU DO CRAZY THINGS ;)

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

(Just had to add this... he told me he loved me when I was in California & this is how it went!

J: You promise you won't be mad at me.

Me: (confused face) i don't think i can unless you did something really bad.

J: Courtney, i love you.

C: big smile, I love you too baby

 Feburay 17th :D)

california dreaming

Did you miss me? ;)

Don't answer that I know all of you have,

especially since you all know I flew out to California last Tuesday to go see my boyfriend! (If you didn't know well you do now..hehe)

I started my trip off like this:

The day I got there (Valentines Day) 

We decided to have a lazy night because I traveled all day and he worked, 

which was perfect for me! I love lazy day especially with someone so special! 

Once I got to the airport, he had chocolate covered strawberries waiting for me in his car! 

(((WAY TO WIN ME OVER= SWEETS)))

Then we got to his place and there were roses for me and a nice hotel and wine tasting trip planned out for Friday as part of my present!!! 

I think I have a winner... 

I didn't get a picture of them..bummer!

My second day: 
We slept in...
had lunch with my brother at dennys
then...
went to the movies to see 

Chronicle

The movie was "different" not something I normally would go see! But the suspense of it kept me going and made it enjoyable! I would give it 3 stars! 


Afterwards= lazy night again with some drinks :)


3rd day:


We decided to go see another movie, well 2 because right after the first one we went to another one...

loved loved loved this movie... but didn't think it was gonna end the way it did!


the second one we saw was...

It was super cute... J & I love Disney movies :) 

Don't worry our karma for sneaking in food and not paying for the second movie bit us in the ass! 
Once we walked out of the movie theater a few hours later, we see a festival going in the streets in downtown Oceanside right where we parked!! J's car was gone, towed away because we didn't see any of their signs, they said were posted all day! So after dealing with that finding where his car got towed, picking up the release form at the police station (that I might add we almost didn't get because they were closed, waiting for my brother to pick us up & 500 dollars later! We got the car back and went for some sushi with my brother! 

the best sushi ever..num numm nummm!!!!

day 4:

WINE TASTING :) 

we had the best time that day, and we got smashed we didn't just taste we chugged! haha..
afterwards we went out with some of his friends to the bars in Temecula had a few too many more drinks that resulted in the WORST hangover ever! The next day we went to lunch at applebees, then we cancelled our plans for the rest of the day because of our hungover and got a lot of junk food and caught up on our shows even got him to watch Teen Mom. 
:)

lazy butts :)

Then he "asked" to play his video games of course since he asked i had to say yes :)

My final full day...
we went to eat with my brother and his girlfran to ihop for breakfast... num num num!!! 
then went to my brothers new house to check it out, 
then later that day we went bowling (or at least I tried..)

I got in early yesterday morning about 2 am, next time my happy butt will be flying out of Mobile, instead of New Orleans because what I thought I was saving more money ended up spending more driving, thank you gas prices! 

I had the most amazing trip ever, but it went by way to fast for my liking! I had to make myself get on the plane and not "accidentally" miss it so I had to stay! And, I was a train wreck our "see you later" hug got the best of me and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Then when he drove off I started sobbing (you know blood shot eyes, runny nose, etc.) I am the biggest cry baby EVER and HATE goodbyes/see you laters!!!

But he will be coming for Spring Break in April sometime and we're gonna be staying at his brothers in Panama City, FL :) 

see ya later :D

First off,

happy valentines day everyone :)

hahaha...I would NEVER do that, 

but WOULD love to watch someone else do that!

My valentines day will consist of me about to drive to New Orleans Airport,

to get on a plane and head my little hiney to Cali..

Destination: his arms 

& it's our first vday together..awe <3

So everyone say a little prayer b/c no lie airplanes scare the shiznet outta me when they take off and land, but hopefully the vodka I will be getting on it will calm the nerves! 

See you all next week :)

My life has been quite stinking busy,

I swear I live at my work and by me being there so much I am starting to seriously hate it, 

but love the money!!! 

I have been able to pay all my bills (including the late ones), saved money & get a few new outfits for my trip to see my boyfriend!!!

 I promise I am gonna get better at blogging when I get back from Cali! 

In 2 days not 4 (i thought I took on for today's countdown but i effed it up..haha) I will be hopping my happy ass on a plane to be in his arms again! I am beyond excited!

I am leaving on Valentines day and once I get there, we are gonna have a night in with lots of making up lovings, wine, movies and take out! Some girls would probably have a fit by not going out somewhere on this day, but me I am more than happy to stay in as long as I am next to him! :)

He is taking me to a wine tasting one night and getting a nice hotel,

six flags one day, dinner and a movie, comedy show and he gets to meet my older brother one of the days! Plus a lot more that is more of the big stuff, I will be surely taking lots of pics!

I am so excited <insert happy dance>

ALSO...

It has been a whole month since I quit smoking, and let me tell you I feel so much better... I also haven't been going out and drinking!!!

I'm so happy I actually stuck to my resolution  goal...

ohhhh again also...

I got a promotion at work...

hello raise... 

because I am now a certified trainer!!!

Goodbye ugly orange name tag...haha!

But since I became a trainer, some of the girls haven't been the nicest since they were not asked to be one and they have been there longer than I have! Jealous bitches! I am sorry I actually do my job, then worry about which customer I wanna take home, or which drug I wanna do tonight!!! I don't go to work to make friends, I go there to make money to pay my bills and work hard for my money!

Here is some of the few hurtful words they have said:

"She's only been here a few months, how does she get to be a trainer! She's not even that pretty. She's too tall. She blah blah blah!!!" 

DRAMA!!!

Gotta

LOVE 

IT..

I told J about it and was talking to him about and how I was hurt by some cruel stuff they have been saying, what I put isn't even half of the things they have said! 

He helped me realize what they're doing and helped me figure out their trying to push me till I quit! 

WON'T HAPPEN!!!

I posted this on facebook today... it nailed it!!!

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spent years building might be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People really need help, but attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world your best you've got anyway. ♥
