What Gal Doesn’t Love Sexy Panties?

Filed Under: Uncategorized //

I came across this blog posting (http://www.pinklouloulove.com/2012/12/santa-drops-panties.html) in December and thought it would be super fun to do with my girlfriends. But December was a hectic month with finals, T’s leave and holidays so we decided to have a Valentine’s Day Themed Ladies’ Night Panty Party. Here are some pictures from last night:

Most ladies bought VS panties 🙂 We all picked numbers out of a hat. #1 went first and picked the person whose present (panties) she wanted to open. Then #2 picked and so on. Girls with higher numbers could “steal” someone else’s already opened panties if they liked them more, essentially forcing the girl whose panties she likes more to switch with her.

We then played some games for prizes. I made the above game – “Girl Talk Jar.” You pick a popsicle stick and ask the gal to your left the question (from “What is your #1 purse essential? to “What is your biggest pet peeve that guys do?”) on the stick. That person can give you up to 3 clue words and then whoever guesses the answer first gets 1 point. First person to 5 pts wins a prize. We also played Valentine’s Day-themed Bingo 🙂 I came home with sexy love dice ;), a nail filer and a nail polish. Plus, a VS lip gloss and chocolates in my goody bag 🙂 

And then we ate and drank the night away 🙂

It was a great night filled with lots of fun and was just what I needed as a pick me up from these last few days! 

Keeping Perspective

Filed Under: grateful, perspective, positivity //

T informed me that there is a Sailor who became separated from the Sailor’s unit during an open ocean training mission in Hawaii earlier this week. (See Navy Sailor Missing off Kaena Point, Oahu and UPDATE: Coast Guard, Navy, local crews continue search for missing sailor)
It helps me keep perspective that no matter how far T is right now, any distance is better than never having met him or not having him in my life. So today, I am grateful for everyone and everything I have in life no matter how difficult trivial issues might seem the moment they pop up.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sailor’s family xo

Oh Dear!

Dear self, keep it together. No need to have a crying fest over something (distance) you can not change.  This is the situation you knew you’d be in 2 years ago, so suck it up, girlfriend, and get strong again. We’ve only got 1/3 left of being in an LDR to go! 🙂

Dear distance, you suck. But thank you, military.com for this piece (http://www.military.com/spouse/military-life/sarah-smiley-things-to-learn-from-living-apart.html?comp=1198882887570&rank=6) because it helped to re-read it.

Dear neck, why must you have a “bunch” of bulging disks?!?! Just when I’m getting super fit, my body is taking it out on me and I don’t know what exercise routine I’ll be able to do. I am so scared I will get out of shape and gain weight but I really should take it easy before I do something irreparable to my spine. To physical therapy it is… [This is also my Fitness Friday update]
Honor Courage Commitment
Dear sun, why are you hiding? Please come out to play. Sunny days > cloudy days.
Dear future employer, can you please hire me already?  It would make 90% of my stress and tension go away. (The Bar Exam will bring that all back … but I’ll cross that bridge when I have to.)

Dear friends, I am so excited for tomorrow night 🙂 I can’t wait to have our long-awaited girls night!!!

Dear Timmy, thank you. Thank you for being strong when I feel like everything is going wrong. I couldn’t do this without you. You are my best friend, my soul mate. I thank God for you everyday.

I once disliked Pinterest. I thought it was too similar to beloved tumblr. And I didn’t really get it. Well, now I kinda actually like it. I’m no Pinterest fanatic yet but here are some of my Pinteresting finds:

“I accepted it’s okay to not be totally sure about where you live. It’s okay to be somewhere with most of your heart when a piece of it is somewhere else. It’s okay to love and appreciate where you are while still knowing that one day you’re going to want to try to be somewhere else, and it’s okay to not know when that will be.”
