Real Talk: Are you a good friend?

Do you ever feel like you don’t make enough time for all of the important people in your life such as family, friends, significant others, etc?

I've been having some majah trouble sleeping lately for some reason. The other night I even tried the old counting sheep thing----ya..thanks mom but that still doesn't work! Anyway, I started making mental notes in my head about some upcoming family events, birthdays, etc that are happening in the next few months.

This lead to reading an article I bookmarked on my phone a while back but never got around to read; about making time for the important people in your life.

I’ll be honest, when it comes to the people close to me in my home life and work life, I rarely, if ever, miss a special day in their life. Whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, the day before a big test, I usually remember. I think it all comes down to the fact that I like to make people feel special on days they deserve it; you never know if something so small such as a “good luck,” or “you’re doing amazing” can help someone out the slightest bit.

Over the years, it really has affected me greatly if I ever get in a little tiff with someone and the words “you suck as a friend” come out of their mouth. It leaves me speechless, worried, concerned, and overall sad (You guys...I am such a sensitive sally when it comes to my feelings!!).

I find myself going crazy inside---maybe I missed something? Maybe I didn’t give this person as much care/time as I should? But at the end of the day, I try and convince myself that when people are upset, they say things they don’t mean; I’m a big-time forgiver, but I don’t forget either. In the end, it ultimately makes me a stronger person—people who bring others down are the ones who need the most care, which is exactly what the article I read said. And I'm down for that, I continue to be there for those people.

Anyway, I know this post is kind of blehhh, but I just felt like sharing my feeeeelings!  Ya know, I am a real person sometimes and not always silly :-)

Do you feel like you make enough time for the important people in your life?
How are you a good friend?

Weekends are for Bruins, Thrills, Booze and Boston

Is it really Monday already?! I feel like this weekend flew by. But then again, basically every weekend flies by.

Friday night Kurt and I literally did NOTHING! I honestly don't remember what we did, but I know Game of Thrones was somehow involved...a new favorite :-)

But Saaaaaturday....I woke up in such a mood to go to the gym and that never happens on a Saturday. I kicked my own ass and am still hurting for it today (mainly my abs--holy F). Saturday night however, Kurt and I had tickets to the Bruins playoffs...unfortunately they lost to Toronto!! :( However, it was a good game and one of the Boston Marathon victims even came out onto the ice before the game to wave the flag---I definitely shed a tear or 2!

We got home pretty late Saturday night and remembered we promised our pretty little selves we were getting up early Sunday to go to Six Flags New England. This is the second year we bought season passes and if you go to any Six Flags more than once they are SO worth the 50/60 dolla's for the season, especially since a regular day ticket robs you of about $45.00. Kurt even had to be ridiculous and pay extra for the free parking perk---lucky for him it works for ANY Six Flags, otherwise I would have been YO...put that money towards some bling why don't ya ;-)

Six Flags New England has a few decent rides, though it's nothing compared to Six Flags in New Jersey which we try to get to at least 3 times a year! Just this past year though, I have graduated from holding onto the lap bars on rides to keeping my arms up! Thanks to Kurt, who while at Cedar Point, held my hands up FOR ME one ride so I could experience it haha! We indulged in some BBQ, rides and 70 degree temperatures--HOLLA.

We didn't spend the entire day there since it's still early in the season and wasn't crowded, so we took our non-mexican selves to Boston and had a Cinco De Mayo celebration with the rest of the city anyway!

We were near the site of the Marathon Bombings and the new memorial site and really wanted to see it in person. Holy amazing, emotional, crazy and overall lovingness this city has.

We even signed our names on one of the many posters :-)

Overall, it was such a fabulous, fun and relaxing weekend! I am sitting here watching Kurt do something gigabyte-ey with our TV...turning it into a computer so we can somehow save money on cable yet get MORE options? I dunnoo...all I know is he let me touch a computer processor and went on and on about how amazing it is. Whatever floats your boat buddy.

Link up with Sami! Happy Week! 

The messiest of hot messes and backing the ass up!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a good week!

I wish I could say I did but, can't win them all I suppose :-)

Before I get into this shindig, I have to say last night I went for a run through Boston and it was just so therapeutic! I know that makes me sound like a freak, but I really needed a long run and it perked me right up. I never thought I'd be saying "YA RUNNING!" I also never realized how time flies by when you're not running while staring at a man's jiggly ass in front of you on a treadmill, but rather, running outside!

Okay the song I want you all to listen to for Whitty's Back That Azz Up Friday is literally making Kurt shake his butt right in the next room. No joke, I'm playing this song and staring at Kurt folding a shirt while shaking it---and that is rare for him. Damn I almost got it on video but he turned around!

I feel like I always say this, but this song is always on my workout playlist. It's so energetic! Something I need this week!

Now that you've fist pumped, I have to show you something that my eyes really didn't want to see. Don't worry, its completely suitable for work---but HOLY SHIT. This girl is balls to the walls batshit crazy and I just had to show you guys.

In a nutshell, this girl goes on a tirade about how guys only like girls who wear loads of bronzer, clown red lipstick, and apparently drizzle cups on cups on cups of water on top of themselves....Please...just watch...

You're welcome
2+2 is what??

Link up with Whitney!

I hope you all have the best weekend in the world!
