Happy Weekend

This week has been a bit weird.
Only because it has gone by really fast
But I keep getting the days mixed up for some reason which, at points, has made it seem longer.

I thought today was Saturday
and I thought Thursday was Friday.
A bit confusing and disappointing.

But as sad as I was to realize today was Friday not Saturday,
I perked up a bit when I reached my desk this morning and found this:
A gift from our creative director.

This weekend I am
Headed to KY to stay with this gal
And mix and mingle with some other friends.

I plan on watching this:


and just genuinely enjoy the weekend with some buds.

Oh, and I plan on purchasing tickets to this. Who is in with me?

Have a Lovely Weekend.

And don't forget to enter to win this and this.

Peace,

What do Grits and Talbots have in common?

A giveway! (well and good style too!)

Listen,
I had not been in a Talbots since I was a tot and my mom used to dress me up in their kids clothing.
We didn't have a Talbot Kids in my hometown when I was growing up. So we would head to Nashville to shop and Talbot Kids was always my first stop.

When I grew out of the striped leggings- hair bow stage, I left Talbot Kids behind too.


But to my surprise
Talbots has really stepped up their game!
They have always offered a crisp, preppy, sophisticated look for women. But for some reason I always felt like the clothes were a little too 'old' for me.
But After seeing this post by the lovely and dear Grits,
It looks like they have added
hip and fashion forward to their repertoire.
And I just want to step right into some of those outfits!

My favorites?


I adore the first outfit! Those yellow pants with those Red heels! Perfection!
And don't get me started on the dress.
Classic and so Chic!


So what is the giveaway?
A $250 Talbots gift card.

How do you enter?

The 300 Giveaway

Through Rose Colored Glasses has 300 followers!
This is amazing to me!
I am just so grateful!

I love the blog world
Seriously, It is one of my most favorite things.
I can not express how many wonderful, amazing, spectacular people I have met through the blog and twitter world. (And I hope to meet more!)
Your encouragement, comments and general support for Through Rose Colored Glasses is something I cherish and look forward to every single day!

And I, sincerely, love and adore all of your blogs and the blog world that I have so kindly been swept up in.

So in honor of the 300
It is time for a giveaway.

And since I consider you all, in some form or fashion, girlfriends
what is more appropriate to giveaway in celebration of girlfriends
than a Sex and the City related item.

Candace Bushnell's new book based on a young Carrie Bradshaw is set to release 4/28!




Here is an excerpt from Amazon

Before Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw was a small-town girl who knew she wanted more. She's ready for real life to start, but first she must navigate her senior year of high school. Up until now, Carrie and her friends have been inseparable. Then Sebastian Kydd comes into the picture, and a friend's betrayal makes her question everything.

With an unforgettable cast of characters, The Carrie Diaries is the story of how a regular girl learns to think for herself and evolves into a sharp, insightful writer. Readers will learn about her family background, how she found her writing voice, and the indelible impression her early friendships and relationships left on her. Through adventures both audacious and poignant, we'll see what brings Carrie to her beloved New York City, where her new life begins.

I think it will be a perfect summer read, as well as, a perfect precursor to the sequel that is due out in May.

Thank you again for your support!

To enter:

Just leave a comment below and follow me if you don't already.

Winner will be announced 5/5.

Things in Bulletts

- I had the most vivid dream last night. It involved eloping and moving to the Galapagos Islands. It was so vivid that when I awoke I was shocked the dream wasn't real life.

- The dog trainer is A-mazing! Potter is going to be fine. (knock on wood.)

- Today will mark my return to body pump.

- Sunday I went hiking by myself (prob not smart to hike alone, I don't want to become a Dateline special.) it was fun.

- So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore is a great book you should probably read. It will make you laugh, rethink how you see yourself and make you stronger as a woman.

- I can not wait to watch The Hills tonight, a show I have never gotten into. Why am I so excited? Because I get to see this fembot in action!



Peace,

Happy Weekend

Friday!
Finally!
Hurray!

This has been a roller coaster of a week for me.
I will be glad to put it behind me!
Doesn't Monday feel like it was a month ago?

This weekend I am:
Going to hot yoga (my first time ever... did I mention I can't touch my toes?)
Going to Pepper Place (yippee!)
Meeting, what I hope is, the Birmingham Dog Whisperer.
Cutting the cable! I'm doing it! Why not at least try?

I was going to:
Head to Ky to see my family
Visit Nashville on Saturday to see this little gal run the Music City Half (GO B!)
(Dear friend Bethany)

hang out with this one who will be in the music city this weekend:
(Best Friend Melissa)

And quite possibly see this one:

(Nick)

Sans beard? or do you still have the beard?

how Am I missing three of my favorite people all in one place!
(Thanks Potter for being an a-hole)

But anyways,
Have a Lovely Weekend.

Peace,

Contemplating

So I am thinking about cutting my cable.
Well not all of it.
At the moment I have cable + DVR + HD + plus HBO and Showtime which they roped me into adding on saying 'It was the best deal'.

This makes me sound like a couch potato.
But really I don't watch it that much.
I wrote out the shows I would be sad to miss:
Nurse Jackie
United States of Tara
The Tudors
The Pacific
Lost
Real Housewives
Mad Men
Dexter
and
Weeds

And then I thought about what shows, in the list, I normally watch when they are in my DVR box and which ones I actually tune into watch 'live'.

The ones I tune into 'live':
Dexter
Mad Men
Real Housewives
Lost
The Tudors

(my most favorite show)

And then I thought about how most of these shows I could wait and watch when they come out for rent on netflix or at the video store.

Minus The Tudors, the one's in my 'live' list are ones that I enjoy discussing with others so I feel the need to watch them in 'real time'.
But then I looked on Hulu
and most all of them can be watched there.
But not 'live'.
And with any ABC or NBC show those are posted on the web almost immediately.

Maybe I should just cut down to the basic channels and just see if I can keep my Showtime and HBO?

So I am torn.

have any of you all cut cable?
Was it worth the money you saved or did you miss it terribly?

I have a good friend couple that cut their cable. And it seems to be really working for them.
Maybe I should take the time to setup their kinda system? (any tech savvy male or female want to take on that project?)

Peace,

Dear Cesar Millan...

So yesterday morning I started this post:
Thank you, Thank you
So much for all of your comments on my Potter situation last night.
I was in the midst of the meltdown when I wrote that post
and was thinking the worst.
You were so encouraging.
And today,
Seeing through clear eyes
and a refreshed brain
I think were gonna be ok.
It is just going to take some outside help and heavy disciplining.

But I never finished it and never published it.
I thought I was on the up and up with ole P
but then he hauled off and bit the hell out of me yesterday drawing blood.
It scared the living daylights out of me!
I mean I think I was scared because, obviously, he bit me,
but also because he is so little and sweet most of the time I was startled into terror that I could be whipped into fear by such a small, seemingly innocent dog.
I was HYSTERICAL!
( I am so sorry Liz that I made no sense when you called and couldn't talk or catch my breath, you caught me in the midst of the mayhem.)
My parents were pressing me to take him to the pound.
But I just cant.
And after much advice and words of wisdom from you and others around me I think he can be broken of this and rehabilitated.
He is still so young.
I have a trainer that my vet recommended coming to my house on Wednesday and I am calling two other trainers to come in and meet with him to see which I think is the best fit.
So say a little prayer for Pots and say a prayer that I don't lose a limb in the meantime.

Peace,

I am so ashamed.

I have something to confess.

A big secret

that I have told few people about.

I hate that I am admitting it

But I am hoping that I can find some help...

My sweet Pup,

This little guy:

Has a serious, and I mean serious, anger issue.

Im not talking about whining or barking, I'm talking about, knarling, bard teeth kind of angry.

Most of the time he is sweet and the kindest little pup around.

But when I don't let him get his way,

Well, he gets PISSED.

And I don't know what to do.

It started when he was very young. I can remember the first time he got nasty with me and I was embarassed that I was frightened by such a tiny little white piece of fur.

I took the advice of some people who had dealt a pissed dog before and held him on his back with a hand on his neck and my other on his belly. I would hold him down, in the midst of his fit, until he would look me in the eye and was calm.

We had a couple of episodes in his younger years where I repeated putting him on his back.

And eventually the episodes were few and far between and I thought that we had overcome his rage.

Wrong.

You should see my arms tonight,

they are covered in scratches from me literally holding him down for twenty minutes and him fighting me the whole time, all while I was sobbing, saying to him "Potter your not like this, I know your not like this."

(and... I'm crying now)

And after twenty minutes he still didn't calm down.

So with no last resort to turn to,

I put him in his crate for the night.

I am totally shaken up.

I just don't know what to do.

I mean obviously I should contact a trainer, right?

I need the dog whisperer.

(Cesar Milan do you read this...)

You can't have a mean dog.

Ok I need to stop typing now because I can't see the screen to type through tears.

Peace,

All Good

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - Proverbs 13:12

I think about this verse a lot.
The idea of delayed, or deferred hope.
I think if you are a twenty something, on your own, recently out of college, person like me you have probably experienced delay or deferment on some of your hopes.
Whether you hoped for:
The perfect first career
The perfect boyfriend or husband
The perfect home or apartment
The perfect friends
The perfect salary
or the perfect fulfillment of what your 20-something post college life would be like
I bet in some way, whatever you hoped for, has been deferred.

I hate that feeling. Because it really does make your heart sick.

Hopelessness is no good.
I hate that feeling.
It is one of my biggest struggles.
I get mad
and sad
and then I just wallow in self pity.
It really is like being sick.

But I am tired of it.
I don't want to waste these fun, once-in-a-lifetime 20 something years on hopelessness concerning plans and dreams that I can't control.
I want to look back and be able to say,
" I really lived, despite the deferment of what I thought my life was going to be like."

I have found in searching for a remedy for delayed hope that rest is the best medicine.
So many times when this hopelessness about something that should or didn't happen creeps into my life I tend to play the waiting game.
And waiting can cause inpatients and just work me into more anger, sadness and self pity over my hopelessness.

What I need is to rest.
To rest in knowing that I am right where I need to be right now.
Rest in knowing that I am not behind in anyway or have been left in anyway.
Rest in knowing that I am not alone.
And rest in knowing that it all will work for the good and that my future (and yours too) is filled with hope, prosperity and all goodness. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Peace,

First 4 days

Here is a recap of the first Four days on my trek to 25:

Wednesday:
Preparation is Key! I mean key! If you don't plan what you want to eat, set rules and get stocked before you embark on any sort of eating change or restriction, you will fail. Sorry, but it is true. You have to prepare.
Wednesday I went to the grocery and stocked up on:
Bananas
Oranges
Stawberries
Apples
Broccoli
Salad
Craisins
Sunflower seeds
Avacados
Red and Green Peppers
Green Tea
and
Eggs

These are all good healthy things that I use quite regularly and that I know I will eat.

Next I went home and threw out (well gave away) everything that I could not eat. This is another KEY for me: I can't have things in the house that are not part of the plan. I don't have enough will power to say no. I justify eating anything really. So anything that was not a fruit, veggie or allowed protein filler had to go.

I bought a scale. EEK... (and wouldn't you know it was a piece of crap too, I ended up buying a new one.)

I got lucky in that I had a Doctors appointment Wednesday morning so they weighed me on their more precise-than-mine-at-home-scale so I knew going into this my exact weight and what I needed to lose to reach my goal.

Rules (guidelines) I set for myself:
No eating after 7:30 pm
No food except fruit veggies, eggs and a cup of nuts.
Aim for drinking 92 ounces of water per day.
Keep with my current exercise routine.
Track everything with my LiveStrong Calorie Plate App.

-Thursday:
So I busted open my calorie app first thing Thurs AM.
I put in my weight and that my goal was to lose 2 lbs per week. (lofty goal, eh?)
So then it told me the allowed number of calories I could have per day to stay on track.
The Golden Calorie Number:
1,472

Thursday's Plate:
-Breakfast:
Iced Green Tea - 0 calories
2 scrambled eggs - 160 calories

-Lunch
I wasnt super hungry at lunch
Half Gala apple - 37 calories

- Afternoon Snack
Naval Orange - 85 calories

- Dinner

By the time dinner rolled around I was STARVING!
2 scrambled eggs - 160 calories
mixed salad - 425 calories total
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce - 20 calories
- 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds (unsalted) - 190 calories
- 5 strawberries - 35 calories
-1/2 avacado - 145 calories
- 2 tbs of Marie's Raspberry Viniagrette - 35 calories

Total: 867

Exercise:
none


Friday, Saturday:

I was really sick both these days. And didn't have much of an appetite.

Friday I ate:

Orange - 85 calories

Apple- 74 calories

170 Cal bag of unsalted Peanuts

2 scrambled eggs - 160 calories

Saturday:

1/2 banana - 60 calories

1 cup strawberries - 77 calories

I ended up going to eat out with a friend bc her mother was in town and had half a hamburger on lettuce. I know I failed on this one but I also think that I needed to eat something bc I was sick.

Sunday:

Apple - 75 calories

That is all I have had so far today. I just dont have much of an appetite because I feel sick.

I stepped on the scale this morning and was down 2lbs!

Hopefully I will start to get my appetite back and start eating more regularly.

But,

Here is what I have found. When I used to just eat processed crap I would never get full. I never felt like I was starving but I always felt like I wanted or could eat more. I wasn't listening to my body I was just filling it up with awful things that never actually made me full. After doing this I have found that things that I wouldn't think would be able to fill me up would. Like just a banana for breakfast. And I also noticed that I let myself get hungry, almost where I think I am starving. And I think that an orange and half an apple couldn't possibly fill me up but it does. It is just learning to shut off your brain and just listen to your body. We use food for SO many things and now that I am just using it to fuel me and fill me, not satisfy me I can tell a huge difference in when I am and am not hungry.

It is hard. But I have to say I am enjoying eating 'cleaner'. Now to just get over this cold...

Peace,

Happy Weekend

I am fighting the pollen big time today.
I have had some allergy trouble recently.
But now it seems as if I have a full on head cold.
What do you all recommend I take?
I took a Zyrtec this am.
and a Claritin this afternoon.
But nothing has really helped.
I'm at a loss

In other news
Going on two days strong of nothing other than fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs and water.
I am having struggles
But I am persevering.


I have also had the itch to shop lately.
I have not shopped in forever,
and I mean that (mom).

I haven't look at Jcrew's sight in awhile
so I took a little peek and stumbled upon this:

(Vintage Poppy Erica Dress)

I would like to own this.

This weekend I plan on recouping tonight.
Hopefully feeling better tomorrow so that I can:
Search for a desk, I need a desk.
Take Potter to the dog park.
And enjoy my friends who I have missed on my trip.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Peace,

Trek to 25

So my 10 day cleanse started yesterday.
I plan on just eating fruits and Veggies and drinking at least 90 oz of water a day.
I will add in 2 eggs and a cup of nuts for protein.
I also allow myself to have iced green tea. Not anything added in to make it calorie heavy.
I love iced green tea from Starbucks but I can't justify the $3.00 for a venti price.
So here is what I do if you are interested in a no calorie, tasty, caffeinated beverage:

- I boil 8 cups of water
- Once water is at a boil take off stove top and place tea bags in water
( I use 15 tea bags for 8 cups of water. This makes a stout brew. You can put in fewer tea bags for a less concentrated brew or I like to dilute my glass with half tea and half water.)
- Let bags steep for 15 min.
- Once steeped pour brew into pitcher and let cool
- Once cool refrigerate

Like I said, I usually fill my glass halfway with tea and half with water then I add one Splenda for sweetener. Honey is also a good sweetener option. Just don't go overboard.


I have a plan to lose at least 15 lbs before June 25.
Which means I am going to have to be super strict.

I know a lot of you don't really care about my Trek to 25 so I will spare you from daily posts on my results and meal log.
But if there are any of you interested in seeing that log let me know. Maybe I could post my week results and food and exercise logs on Sunday Afternoons?

Helping me out on my trek are the lovely McCall Wagner who sends me daily emails with a picture of some skinny person on a beach ( If that is not motivation or cause for self loathing I don't know what is!)

(this was the first of the many motivational pictures to come from McCall)

and my Livestrong calorie tracker app. This is such a great app. It cost $1.99 and allows me to create an account with my weight and the goal I am trying to reach. Once I have set my goals it sets up how many calories I can have per day in order to reach my goal. Then it allows me to log everything I eat, you look it up in their database which provides calorie content, and all the exercise I do throughout the day. Also helping me is my scale... oh how I hate it!

So If you are interested in seeing my results, thus keeping me accountable, let me know so that I am not posting to people who dont want to see. And if you need to lose that extra 10 to 15 join me!

Peace,

Im Back...

Hey friends!
I have missed you!
I have over 800 blog posts to read that are sitting in my Google Reader!
I can't wait to catch up!

I have had a whirlwind of a two days!
I had a crazy travel day on Tuesday with delayed flights and a lot of running and sweating through airports to make connections.
Then I had a dr. appointment on Wednesday for some medical issues that are getting annoying.

Needless to say I am still catching up.

But my trip to Honduras was AMAZING!
Really spectacular.
It is a beautiful place with beautiful people.
I have never seen so much Love in action
Nor have I seen the amazing fruit that Love can produce in people who have suffered the worst
(my first sight of Honduras from the plane. More pics to come, just a little tease!)

I will have more on Hondo and pictures as well
coming soon.

Peace,

Hi friends,

I am still In Honduras.

Who knows what I am doing.

But I wanted to tell you about BeautyGirlMag.

It is an online magazine started by Brittany.

She is fantastic and has such passion and vision.

I think she is fabulous and so is her online magazine.

She is hosting an event this Wednesday and if you are in town or anywhere near you should go!

And if you can't go still check out her site and follow her on twitter.

Peace,

When I get back...

I have some SERIOUS spring cleaning to do!
I just didn't realize how much stuff I still have yet to do to my Apartment and to clean out of my apartment.

Like when I was searching for the Chacos and found that random Wallaby, where did that random Wallaby come from?
And Why is it hidden behind the old TV I still have sitting in the closet?

Sometimes I talk myself out of purging, getting organized and getting things done.
It just seems to be too much effort and once I dive in it becomes overwhelming to me.

But I think If I pushed the overwhelming-ness to the side and really got organized before taking on a revamp and made a plan, I would feel refreshed, unstressed and accomplished.

I already made the committment to 'spring clean' my eating and exercising when I get back from Honduras.
And here is what I need to do to 'Spring clean' my apartment.

Bathroom:
I have a teeny tiny sink with no counter space.
I need one of these:
(found here)


To go on the side of the sink to store all of my products.

I need to clean out the bathroom closet. I have so many products that I NEVER use that just need to go!

Guest Bedroom:
GaGeez! I have so much to do for this room.
I need:
A comforter for the bed
Shams for the bed
Curtains
And to have the chair recovered.
I also need to get rid of the TV in the closet.
(Liz would any of your ST peeps want it?)

Bedroom:
I need a bed.
I have a frame
just not an actual bed.


Living Room
I need to have a chair recovered. Anyone know any good, affordable upholsterers in Bham?
I need to invest in a nice rug at some point.
I mean the one I have is ok but it is wearing out quickly
I should probably paint my side tables and get new hardware for them.


Kitchen:
Well I need a kitchen rug
Shelves above the stove and washer and dryer
Curtains
And I think I want to have my buffet painted but I am too scared to do it myself.


So there is my list.
I will takle it one room and item at a time.
First the bathroom.
It seems to be the simplest.

Peace,

Flying South

As we you read this I am en-route to Honduras.
How nifty is the post date setter thing on blogger.
Balla.

I am headed to visit my brother and sister-in-law who live in Hondo.
I have never been.
It should be interesting.
My brother with some Honduras boys

But I have prepared some posts for the time that I am out.

I will be back in 'real time' on the 15th.

Peace,

Search for shoes and packing

I dropped Potter off at the pet hotel this morning.

He will be there for 7 days!
He was quite apprehensive to go.
But I produced a bone out of my bag and he seemed to relax a bit as the pet hotel helper carried him back to his suite.

They also have a talking bird in the pet hotel office.
His name is Dolby and he talks to himself.

Anyways,
So it was my goal to pack for my trip in a carry-on suit case.
And I did it, with room to spare!

I also found my Chacos.


I thought maybe the Chacos were at the top of my guest closet
Nope
Then I checked the bottom but All I found was an old Wallaby shoe

(and that greenish color around the closet is not dirt or mold but rather spray paint from the previous tenant. I am not that dirty)

I found some Tory Burch's on my dresser.

And where were my Chacos
Oh just in the corner of my closet. Super lost right?

once the Chacos were found packing could commence.
The goal:
to fit everything in here:

First Item, packed.

I quickly realized that finishing packing up would not be happening until I took care of this:
Do any of you all have piles of clothes and other random things around your house?
I have them everywhere.
So I made it my goal to clean up ALL the piles (One in the kitchen, one in my bedroom, one in the bathroom and the guest bedroom) before packing any clothes.

It took awhile.

But getting the piles put away helped.

Progress was slowly made.
I weighed, not literally, everything that went into that carry on.
And finally I finished with room to spare.

Wasn't this the most exciting post?
Right.
Well I will be back 'live' next week.
I do have some posts scheduled while I'm out so check back.

Peace,

Who knew...

I would be on the hunt for these babies:

Yep.
I am racking my brain on where I have thrown my Chacos.
It has been years since I have worn them.
Maybe since my travels in Spain.
Who knows where they are hidden in my apartment.
Should be a fun night searching for those....
And packing all the other things I need for my travels.
I am the worst packer EVER.

Tomorrows blog:
My packing and Chaco search excursion via photos.
Get excited.
I know you are.

Peace,

Monday

I was completely worthless this weekend.
I only peeled myself up off the couch to attend Easter service.
But even then I didn't really look too special.
No special Easter outfit for me.
Nope
I probably spent a good 15 minutes on my look for the morning service.

But Oh how I loved to see everyone else's ensemble for the special day.
Some outfits I noticed, as I waited for the service to start, were cute. They were appropriate.
But the ones that I really loved were the bar/cocktail dresses.
Oh these outfits make me laugh so hard.
The mix of hot rolled hair
chandelier earrings
Either a dress, preferably in halter form
or skirt paired with a halter
that is far too short
topped off with stilettos.

usually there are sparkles and florals involved somehow in this mix of an 'Easter' outfit.
Nothing says Easter like a good walk of shame look.

Gosh I just love it.

The rest of the weekend I spent:
Watching Season 4 of the Sopranos
Eating dark chocolate m&m's
not washing my hair
or wearing makeup.

I leave for Honduras in two days.
I can't wait.

(one day soon I will get back to taking pictures to go along with my posts. Till then you'll just have to be satisfied with my words.)

Peace,

10 days and Happy Weekend

Um you guys are the bomb (can you still say that?)
I loved all of your thoughts on the master cleanse.
And after thinking it over and reading you comments
I am going to steer clear of it.
Because, I mean, who am I kidding, no food for ten days yea right.
And you have to drink nastiness in a glass, I can't even drink liquor, no thanks.

Instead I am going to take on a challenge.
Following my vacation which I will return from on the 14th, I am only going to eat fruits and veggies for 10 days.
I hear this is the most natural and best cleansing process for you.

This is the deal though.
I am the worst about making a commitment like this and then failing to prepare, so in turn I fail at the challenge.

So being prepared is key!
Have any of you ever cut out everything but fruits and veggies?
How did it go?
What did you do prepare?
Any recipes you can share?
Thoughts on this endeavor?

Onto the weekend.
I am heading home for Easter this weekend.
It should be nice.
But a quick trip.
Then I leave on Wednesday for my vacation to Honduras!

Happy Good Friday.
Happy Easter.

I am sure some of you have heard this song done by the David Crowder Band, and I'll be honest, I really don't like their version. Maybe because I have known about the original song done by John Mark for a long long time. SO this is my favorite version and I hope you love it as much as I do, it moves me every single time I hear it.
I hope it allows you to reflect on His great love for you this Easter weekend.
Oh How He Loves Us.
(Check out John Mark McMillan here)

Peace,

Thoughts?

Ok
I have a question for y'all.
Have any of you ever done this:

The Master Cleanse?

I am seriously considering it.
Or am I crazy?

I mean I don't like pain.
And this seems kinda painful.
You have to drink lemon juice, syrup and cayenne pepper?
I guess you get used to it after the first 6 cups on your first day?

I'm still mulling it over.

Peace,
