Aside from the fact that this month of September is the hardest and most stressful month of the year at work the last few days have been hard.
Tuesday night my wireless stopped working and I didn’t have internet all night except on my phone. I know first world problems. Well I bought a new router on Wednesday after work, went to the gym then came home to install it. Brought my laptop upstairs and my battery died in 10 minutes and even plugged in, it wouldn’t charge. Off to Best Buy I went to hit the Geek Squad. I was prepared to replace the battery or bite the bullet and get a new laptop but luckily it was only the charger. I may have ugly cried if I had to get a new laptop so I am glad it didn’t go that far. Needless to say I am very glad it is Friday. So let’s get to it!
Favorite Song: Even though Sam Hunt is technically country his new song Ex to See is very pop-esque. I love the beat of this song, it’s been on repeat lately.
Favorite Challenge: Steph from Life According to Steph and Steph from Not Entirely Perfect are doing a choose your own adventure Challenge with this month’s theme being Fitness. For more information on the challenge click here. I will post my results on October 2nd.
Favorite Thing to Swap: I am a total mug junkie, and what better way to get a new one than a swap. Well Girl Meets Camera is hosting a mug swap. Head on over to her place for the sign up info. You have till Friday September 12th to sign up. Please only commit if you are actually going to send a mug.
Favorite Quote: Never ever give up on you!
I am thinking of getting my hair cut and cutting my bangs again but I don’t know this is totally me.
Contouring, seems legit.
Seamus has totally done this to me before.
Am I right?
Your internet situation was mine last week – it’s amazing how much we rely on it!! The hair cutting e-card – so true…every single time – dramatic change = just a trim lol!! I love the goals you set for yourself – you’re going to do awesome!! Have a great weekend!
It is so frustrating especially when you need to write a post! Eek. EVER.TIME!! Haha! Hope you have a great weekend!
that has got to be frustrating!! yes, i am a mug junkie too and will be in that swap!! thanks for letting me know. happy weekend, lovely lady!
Yeah, glad you are joining in on the fun! Gotta love mugs! Happy Friday!
I have to fix the internet at the SC house when i get there next week because I couldn’t get it set up right last month. I’m not really excited about it because I think it’s a router issue that Geek Squad will have to fix. Le sigghhh.
The only “healthy” brownies I’ve tried and like are the no pudge brownies. I finally talked my Roomie into NOT buying “fat free” crap since it usually has more sugar/salt/etc crap in that makes it just as bad for you as the “fat full” version. The first time she bought fat free ranch I almost laughed her out of the house. Just no.
Gotta love Geek Squad. Yes, they never taste as good and they usually put synthetic crap in to make it taste better. Better off just having the original and sticking with small portions.
I love Sam Hunt! I’m going to see him next month. He has a couple songs that are kind of “pop-esque”
I am really digging a lot of his stuff. He wrote songs for a lot of big artists. Jealous you are getting to see him.
those dog pics/memes are HILARIOUS. i love going on dogshaming for the funnies!!
They are the best. I tried not to post 12 of them. Haha!
I’m completely lost when my internet is done. I feel your pain. I love brownies, I try very hard to avoid them. The “healthy” ones never taste as good. Have a great weekend.
It is never fun to be without internet. Yes, more like cardboard. Happy Friday!
Ugh internet problems are the WORST. My apartment building gets terrible service so it’s always super slow 🙁 Love the idea of a mug swap – after all, you can never have too many!
Yes, especially when you just sit down to write a post! Ugh, not fun. You can never have too many mugs!! Hope you join.
Oh mannn, I would have been upset too over no internet, and then dead laptop. Glad they were easy fixes! I died at the dog funnies, and that quote is something I needed today. Happy Friday!
Yes, easy fixes but it did take all night. No bueno. Seriously dog funnies always get me! Glad it was a good pick me up!
Love the last two funnies!
I hope nothing else breaks for you this week! I hate the “when it rains it pours” times.
Yes, it was one of those weeks but now it is the weekend and I couldn’t be happier. Don’t jinx it! 😉
TASTES LIKE LIES! YES YES IT DOES!!!
And it’s so true – you try to be so prim around new friends – but when you get to know them – it’s like LET ME COOK IN YOUR KITCHEN TIME!
I have an on again off again love of bangs – I love them, my wavy hair hates them – I love them when I first get them – and then the next day I am in tears – because I am not as girly as the person who styled my hair.
It really does, better of with at the fat! I love bangs on me and I am worried that Winter is coming and I won’t want to deal with them.
what kind of laptop do you have? i have an HP and have replaced the charger like 5 times. ok maybe like 3. but I buy them on ebay because it keeps happening, and it’s a thing with HP laptops (according to google). if you dont have a HP feel free to ignore lol.
hope this month is less stressful than you think it will be 🙁
hahaha that contouring meme is hilarious
Boo laptop problems! So glad no tears were shed at Best Buy. I hope you get a cute mug in the swap!
I was glad it was nothing major. I was freaking out though. Give me all the mugs!!! 😉
Oh – some of those cards are hilarious. Love the ones with the dogs and visiting someones house for the first time or going to a close friends house. And, the brownie card made me laugh because I have though that on occasion!!!
You know you are good friends when you can go in the fridge and not have to sneak. 😉 Some just taste down right terrible. I’d rather the real deal and just eat half. 😉
I don’t know how I’m going to get in 5,000 steps a day let alone 70,000 a week, go you!
Just walking the dog for 15-20 minutes twice a day is 5,000 steps. You can totally do it.
haha the hair one?! TOTALLY me!!!!!!! I get so tired of my hair but always just trim it lol. BORING!
So did you ever figure out why the internet was down? Thank goodness it was only the charger. I would have cried for you if it was the whole laptop!
I think we just know what we want! 😉 It was my router, I am not sure if it was the thunderstorm or the heat but it shorted out. So I got a new router and it worked. I tried all the tricks first of course. I would have been a mess if I had to replace it, though I need to start researching because it is pretty old.
Love that quote!
It was such an important thing to see, at the right time.
I’m the internet “fixer” in the house. Whenever theres an issue, Keve thinks that because I used to train people at TWC that I know how to fix things. Nope. Unplug it and plug back in.
Right. I go through all the basics, reset the router, unplug the modem, unplug the router, restart the PC. Diagnostics, ping a website, check the ISP number, plugging into the laptop versus wireless connection blah blah blah. Nothing. We girls need to just get it done!!
LOLOLOL @ taste like lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I do the same thing with my hair cuts as well haha.
And my dogs totally fake it to get carried. WHIMPS! I mean they lay around ALL day…how can they possible be tired?
Sounds like you have some good goals for the month! You got this!
So many lies!! An inch feels like a mile! Right?! How tired can they really be. I am going to do it, like a boss! Okay like Kerry but whatevs.
I love the type of challenge that Not Entirely Perfect is doing! Such a great way of encouraging people to have community and meet goals! Good luck with yours!
It is so great, and being able to set our own goals is perfect. Thank you.
Hahahah… the hair ecard is totally me!
Your hair is super long so I know you can relate!
I love the one song they play by Sam Hunt on the radio, so I hadn’t heard it yet and now I’m loving it too!! OMG those dog pics at the end were awesome and I am so glad you only had to replace your charger!! Ugly crying is no fun. Serious LOL with the contouring pic!!!!!
He has been a huge breakout star, love a lot of his stuff. I was so happy, my laptop probably has to get replaced soon but want to do research first.
Oh Ker I love that quote! I read everything but Im stuck on that quote and Im saving it!!!
Isn’t it so beautiful. I think we all need a reminder every now and then.
Hahaha, your funnies are always awesome!! The acting dog…totally Max! And it’s the WORST when the internet is down!
Thank you so much! I have had to carry Seamus a time or two and he always look so happy about it too. It was driving me crazy since of course I didn’t have posts drafted.
NOW I am convinced to try contouring! Don’t cut your hair!!!
Haha! It totally works, maybe not Brad Pitt works but it does work. I do need a trim but I don’t think I could ever cut as much off as I’ve done before, I like it long.
