Remember the license plate game – BUMPER STUMPERS?

I took this photo a couple of years ago, i love love love waterfalls!

Where you had to figure out that: CRE8IV Translated to: Creative!

Well the post title translates to…

Anyone?

H20!

Round of applause from the audience please :)

Yesterday was all about the water!

Lets discuss…

Water out my eyes: Yup, it was one of those days where anything and everything made me tear up, oh sigh! I’m still stressing about my job and the challenge of, well, hating it and trying to find something I can truly love without having to give up a salary I need due to brand new shiny house :P   My job field (finance) is getting more and more challenging and people are leaving left and right, I want to be one of those people!  I won’t leave without the right opportunity though so I really just need to pull on my big girl panties and suck it up

Water in my belly: Know what else I should be sucking up?  Water!!!!!  My lack of water consumption is directly related to the size of my teeny tiny bladder  Am I the only person who has the bladder of a 2 month old and 90 year old combined???

So some cheering up was necessary or more water was going to be shed (out of my eyes sillys, not my bladder)!

  • I ordered something Pee related, noooo not some depends (though my BFF Ali threatened to order me some once), I ordered Mama Peas new cookbook, I can’t live without it any longer and if I win one of the many giveaways I’ve entered into for the book, well I’ll just do a giveaway to you now won’t i?  If you have not visited Mama Peas website DO.IT.NOW, she rocks my world with her amazing recipes and she is crazy funny – her love for her family and her hatred for Pea Kitty will have you swooning for this lady!  Okay, enough fawning over someone I have NEVER met but she does reply to pretty much all comments left on her blog (how awesome huh?), so I feel like I know her!
  • Then I met with my fellow blogger friend Hilary for some shopping fun
  • And last but not least, I drank some a lot of these…

    Ahh….I hear ya on the teary eyes. I swear I’m having post pms pms. :) I really hope you can find something you love that makes ends meet. I’ll be praying you find some direction in that dept. I know that’s not fun.

    Yummy margaritas. I know it’s barely noon but I would totally drink one if you sat one in front of me right now.

    The margarita looks absolutely delicious!

    And I have a ridiculously tiny bladder, as well. I usually get up twice in the middle of the night to use the restroom. And it drives my husband crazy that I often have to get up in the middle of church. But I can’t help it!! :P

    Ahhh bladder of a 2 + 90 year old = totally feel you! Thankfully I have a restroom within a few steps of my desk (literally in my office).

    Oh and the drink….I’ll be over shortly to have some with you…..I’ll bring some food :)

    Big hugs, my friend! So sorry you’re feeling stressed. :( Secret time: sometimes a forced leave is a blessing in disguise. I didn’t realize how desperate I was for a break until it was forced upon me.

    Oh my gosh, I need to get my hands on one of these!

  7. Lindz @ happyorhungry August 11, 2011 at 9:19 pm #

    I have to say, I am super proud of my giant bladder and often proclaim it to be the best bladder in the world. I can hold my pee foreverrrrr. It is a great quality :)
    That peach margarita looks phenom.

    LOL! Glad I am not the only one with Bladder issues! When I am out with my family, I will announce I need to stop to pee! Response…OF COURSE YOU DO!!!! : )

    yum yum yum! I am such a sucker for peach everything right now!!! I think I need to turn Thirsty Thursday’s recipe into Happy Hour Friday!

    I’m sorry to hear about the stress honey…Yes our field of work is a crappy one when the markets go haywire!

    Hang in there and something good will come your way…Opportunites are just a’ waitin’!

    On the funnier side of life, I thought my mom and I were the only 2 humans on earth than say “big girl panties”…I LOVE that someone else on earth is just as crazy as I am!

    • Life of a Happy Blonde August 21, 2011 at 1:31 pm #

      We are a couple of crazies huh? Yeah the markets do suck but our field does pay well so I guess that’s a plus :P

    I have teeny tiny bladder syndrome too! I also have this syndrome where I feel the need to announce needing to pee to everyone in sight. Sharing is caring?

    Aww, sorry you had a bum day on Thursday… No work love is tough! Keep plugging along. I had a job I hated a couple months ago… So bad I walked right out one day, and never looked back! And thankfully found a job with a higher salary and a whole lot less stress very quickly… I hope you find your something better very soon! :)
