School's ouuuut foooooor Summmmmerrrrr

School is FINALLY out!!!!!!!!!!   I know 3 of my 4 grades and they don't look the best.. including one F (so far).. but ya know what... for it to be my first F in my 3 year college history...I'll Take it!!!!  I'm in the last 20 minutes of my friday at work.. The time is ticking slowly.    My sister, Ashlee over at http://www.ashleenikol.com/ started the 30 day ab challenge last night and I believe i'm gonna start it tonight!  Cory and I are going to Darby's (cory's little sister) dance recital tonight and once we get back, I guess i'll start my work out! (that'll be a sight!).. But the pictures shannon (http://www.lifeafteridew.com/) took of before and after have reaaaaallllyyyy inspired me!! So I cant wait to do my before and after! (just gotta stayed motivated and do it EVERY day!).. Now that schools out, maybe i'll have more time!  

I've typed enough now for the 15 minute countdown at work.  Only 15 minutes stand between me and the weekend!! And i am soooooooo ready..  OH and it's my first MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!  Wonder what Carter has up his sleeve to get me?...    :) Guess we'll have to wait and see. 

I was told our time rounds within 7 minutes of our time punches. so i'll probably leave at 4:53.  which i have down many times before. I sit here for like 3 hrs and have nothing to do.. I want to get paid.. but geez.   Can't wait to get home and see my wittle monster! (i found shirts at the childrens place that actually say that... which is odd bc i've been callin Carter my little monster for going on a week.. dont ask why, it just came out)..  

It's 4:48.. I guess i shall close this up and get to gettin it! Guess i'll post next week about my mother's day.


Peace, love, and crabs.

Cyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Carter's *getting* Smarter!!

Sooo Today cory's grandma, Janie, is watching little man.  I get a call on my cellphone around 10:30-11:00 am while i'm at work and it's Janie. I'm thinking oh gosh. Something's wrong. 

WELL come to find out.. Carter got on his knees and raised up with his arms like he was gonna CRAWL!!!... but then he laid back on his belly and hasn't done it again ever since.  :(    BUT i think that means Carter will soon be crawling!!!! YAY :D    (and bad at the same time considering he will then be able to run away when it comes diaper changing time...joy)   

So, I'm sitting here at work. Bored. Haven't had anything to do for the last two hours.. I've looked at houses. done some bank training. studied 3 chapters for my final i have at 5:30. looked at blogs. peed. chewed sugar free gum. ate sugar free candy. drank water.  peed. looked at words with friends.. nothing there... looked at draw free...nothing there.. facebook creeped... checked my email a dozen times. nothing there..    and there ya have it. that's it. that's my afternoon on the job.   I guess until i get trained a little bit more I cant do anything with customers so until then. i just sit here.   boooorrrrriiiiiiinnnnngggggg.If anyone has some suggestions on things to do, let me know ;)


Well its time to go pee again. yay. so until next time (which maybe i'll be done with school by then.) 


Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeace ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

FAILED

okay. i failed the weightloss challenge...... i'm horrible. 

but it's finals week... and i love to eat during this time of my life.. :( sad but true.
annyyywaaayyy... Is it sad that I spend my time at work reading blogs?  (and checking facebook on my phone and studying for my final that i'm gonna fail tonight at 6:45?)...  i'm stressed and ready to go home.. I need an "it's ok Thursday" post.. but sadly, it's only monday..      let me just vent a little... I spent 20 FREAKIN DOLLARS (that's 24 tickets) on a raffle here at the bank.. for a $450 mothers day basket that i REALLY REALLY wanted.... and guess what? I didn't win it... (although the money goes to charity).. I WANT ME MONEY BACK..  :(  


my wittle baby is staying at my parents house tonight.. so i'll be lonely tonight :(..   it's perfect timing to take my online *100 question* final after my marketing final... OH and SECRET LIFE AT NINE!! For all you who are into the show!! I can't wait to see what happens tonight!!!! I read on facebook that Dylan is gonna try to be friends with Adrian....................... Dylan's crazy and I don't like her.    And I hope Amy gets her head out of her butt and ends up marrying Ricky in the end. :) okay. my venting is over... time to study some more. Yay!.....not.  Peaaaaace ouuuuuuuuuut!

i cheated :(

Soooo I cheated on the diet yesterday... and today.. Blah! Working at a bank will seriously make you fat. 
Yesterday I found a recipe on google (while at work) and went home and made it. It was chicken stuffed in manicotti noodles covered in ragu sauce and melted mozzarela cheese!  It was delish!!!  I also cheated today because we're having a bake sale (for charity!!!).. and I bought three items.. BUT didn't eat all of each one.. and to make up for it I had a side salad with no dressing for lunch. I'm considering grilled chicken salad for supper.. But since I have to go get my son all the way in Center.. I may just have to hold off on the salad and just have grilled chicken, on the stove of course. This muffin top I'm starting to get HAS TO GO one way or another! Maybe I'll get in the habit of this dieting thing. I need the celebrities secrets.  My friend, Leah, is on weight watchers and she says it's awesome.. I may have to try it out! I can't wait for Jessica Simpson to do it.. I need it now!!! :)     I just had to vent a little about my fatness.  

Oh yeah!! I should be receiving a sample of Green's first from a lady named Kim! I saw it on http://www.theskinnyconfidential.com/ and haaaaad to try it out!! She HIGHLY recommends it.. so I may see what it does! (and how it tastes.. not a fan of powdered drinks!)

Have a great day!!!!


:)

Name Change!!!

As i'm sure you've noticed.. I changed the name of my blog.. and soon, [hopefully], it'll have a makeover done!! The reason behind "Carter's Smarter" is that my almost 5 month old keeps getting smarter AND smarter each day.. So I thought, "HEY. i'll post all the fascinating things Carter does on my blog!!" Therefore, that's where the title came from!
anyyywhoooo. I'm thinking up a wonderful *blog* challenge to take place starting May 7th!! Since I've been so worried about myself getting fat, I figure I should have a "Carter's Smarter Weightloss Challenge"!!! Anyone can participate, or not participate, it's whatever! There are only TWO   rules to the challenege:
1) You must take a before picture and your weight! (Noo you dont have to post it if you dont want to! But it's the best way to start your challenge so you can see how much you lost in the end!!!)
2) You must share your secrets/meals/exercises/etc!! (whether it be on your blog OR on a comment on my blog!!)

The challenge ends June 2! If you're able to reach your goal, (whatever that may be), I might see if I can get ashlee Nikol to whip ya'll up something nice and crafty! And then, of course, if not.. then I'll purchase a few small things and send them out :)   

I got a little head start (today). I started my breakfast off with a French Vanilla slim fast shake! Only 180 calories!!

Thennnn, for my snack I had a "The Biggest Loser" Protein meal bar (cinnamon apple turnover) Only 160 calories per bar! (also I had a class of water!!) 

For lunch, I intend to have a Turkey on Wheat sub. No cheese. Lettuce, Tomato, banana peppers, spinach, & pickles, topped with Sweet Onion Sauce! (water to drink).

And Supper, I'm undecided. I'll have to find something healthy to make in my house!!!

For exercise:

Tonight I will probably do some crunches, squats, etc. (Floor stuff).. Can't do much Cardio on the boyfriends work week! (Plus i HATE cardio)..

Until Next time.....

Take the Carter's Smarter Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay. So i'm sitting here at work... there's 35 minutes left... and I've not had nothing to do for the past 2 hrs... so what better thing to do than post on my blog?..  


I'm still not fancy-spancy with it just yet... but i'll learn.. [slowly, but surely]..




I linked up with sarah today and decided I would do the 7 questions from Gentri Lee as well!! Sooo here goes nothing!!

Here's my funny picture... my cousin, SamiJo, and I thought we could be hott & sexy..... Bahahahaha

okay..ANYWAY...ON to SEVEN questions

1. What is your favorite day of the week and why?
FRIDAY!!!!  Mainly because it's the last day of my work week AND the start of my weekend to chill and do NOTHING!  (except homework and baby stuff..)


2. If you decided to change your name, what would you change it to?
Oddly, I've always liked the name Autumn. I, by no means, look like an autumn. But I do love that name. I like my name.. I just wish it had a cool spelling like, Hayleigh or Haylee. Hali is unique too...but i get sick of being called "Halle".. come on people.

3. What is one product you use (it can be for anything) that you feel is a miracle worker?
My snooki tanning lotion!!! It has so much bronzer in it that it can do two things.. 1. make you look super tan SUPER quick.. or 2. make you look like you ain't had a bath in weeks if you put it on unevenly...

4. High heels, flats, sneakers, or boots?

HIGH HEELS!!!  Okay. So I can't walk in them that well.. but i am OBSESSED with shopping for them!!! I want sooo many pairs it's ridiculous!!!!   But I love sneakers on a side note.. Easy to move in and don't have to worry about having pretty painted toes :)

5. You see your favorite celebrity (it can be any kid of celebrity- movie star, singer, writer, political leader, blogger) walking down the street, what do you do?
If I saw Jessica Simpson walking down the street..I'd freak.. that's all it is.. I probably wouldn't run up to her and act a fool.. but I may creep by.. then text Skaggs and tell her.. and take a picture with my phone like a complete creepy stalker.. bahahahah kidding....but seriously.


6. If you could pick one item to never have to pay for again, what would it be?
Gas, please!!! I could go wherever I wanted to if I never had to pay for gas..


7. what was your favorite tv show or movie growing up?
Bring it on!   I swear, i made mama rent it for me like 20 times .. then she bought it for me for christmas.. I watched it a few times.. and now I can't find it anywhere... I still love that movie and watch it when it comes on TV!!!! (just sucks because it's all clean and edited and junk)




There are my 7 questions!!! Now YOU do it!! It's fun!! :)


Until next time, [when i find time],
BYYYYYYEEEEEEE :)


p.s. My boyfriend and I are going on a Cracker barrel date with a gift card. YIPPEE.. I'm soooo excited... ( not sure if Carter's going or not!)
