A Budgeted Update!

TGIF!! It's FriYAY and I'm super glad! I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow! Is it sad that at this is something I look forward to now?! Those 5am mornings get old! It has been a busy two weeks, hence the lack of posts. But I am back now and ready to blog it up!!!

Tonight's wine of choice is one I tried on a whim about a week ago from Winn Dixie. My wine taste range from white to red but always on the drier side. A friend turned me on to red blends/ red zinfandel when I first started trying different wines. I have a few favorites but it's always nice to change it up! I love the label on this bottle!! Babe is into watching all the tattoo reality shows so it immediately caught my eye! Secretly, I really want a sleeve lol! Could you imagine?! Fun fact: I have no tattoos! Not a one! I was always too indecisive. One day though, I hope! This red is light and fruity, a little dry but someone who enjoys a smoother taste would love it! I really recommend trying different type of reds or whites, there are so many! Don't stick with the same old!! This one is moderately priced, this week it is on special with one of those fancy membership cards for $9.99. I paired it with Chipotle burrito bowl, ha! See how fancy!!
 In all seriousness, I love wine and not just for the relaxing effect; it bring people together! So, like I said, it's been a crazy couple weeks! Brad was home for a good amount of days so we did our normal couplely stuff and as usual, I worked! This assignment takes babe to Texas and Tennessee, after all that craziness starts the birthday celebrations!! I will be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my 25th birthday, wink! Ha, aging isn't terrible. I'm actually enjoying it. Growing up bring a ton of changes and change is good sometimes.
Recently, I've lost and gained a few friends, realized the person I have become, and grown to love her. Not to go from wine to sappy, but as turn another page and journey toward thirty (ya like that, huh?) I have come to realize what an idiot I was in my early twenties. Literally, probably one of the dumbest! Ha, but I've lived and learned and become who I am so let's go! I'm actually looking forward to 30, ten years ago I would NOT have admitted that! But now, I've got my babe, started with a great company and look forward to finishing school and finishing in the position I dream about! People will change, it's inevitable. I don't like it, it is painful but it makes you stronger! This birthday will actually be a celebration!

So , apart of growing up involves big investments and adult choices. As terrifying as they are, ya gotta do 'em and with the right partner, you can accomplish so much! Currently, Brad and I are house shopping. You really get to know someone when you are searching for a home to buy together. Taking two people who have similar preferences but completely different ones at the same time and trying to find the perfect first home is difficult! Looking through Instagram and Pinterest (which only makes it worse!), you try to decide how you even want to start decorating! All these adult decisions! I'm looking forward to it all, we shall see!!
I hope everyone has a safe weekend! I am hoping to relax and tan!! It's been some week!!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

South in your Mouth

This morning, like every Saturday morning, I get up with coffee-induced strength and make my sweetheart breakfast. He's a lover of pancakes and sausage but ever since we moved in together, I have been slowly expanding his palette. I probably have one of the pickiest men in the South! I think I've complained about this before, I'm sure some other ladies can agree! Well, our house has been quite a whirlwind and so this morning I wanted to make a hearty breakfast, with the cold front coming in, today definitely called for it! Bradley recently joined the Eustis Gun Club so he wanted to be up bright and early to get down there. The things I will do for this man! I tell ya! However, there is always time for a Saturday afternoon nap so I got up after morning snuggles and him obviously turning the heat on (let's face it, I wasn't getting up when it was 64° in the house, he's a smart man!). I decided to make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Now, I know most Sout...
