I Forget Everything

Please forgive me for my bad-blogger status as of late. I was getting good at posting every weekday, then this happened.

As it turns out, I was forgetting everything. I wrote a huge paper in a matter of hours yesterday and I've got 3 more before the end of the semester...Cool. 

But that is just the life I guess! I'll survive it. Besides, in about an hour, I'm going home!

I cannot wait to play with my lil' baby girl and eat home cooked food. I truly appreciate home so much more than I used to.  Even when I was in basic training, and AIT and all that, I wasn't really all that homesick. Occasionally I would feel like I missed home, but it wasn't constant. I was busy and I loved what I was doing. 

Here though, I think about home all the time and I just want to go be a part of everything that they're doing there. I can't wait to be there in just a few hours. 

Mostly, I just wanna play with this kid. 

I mean come on. Look at her. 

Well, I'm leaving here in a few minutes, so I had better go, but stay tuned for updates on the new blog and where to find me on December 1st!

Look out for some Black Friday Deals from my November Headliner!

A Post About Nothing

So, this year is nearing its end....November is nearly half over already!  It feels like I was leaving for basic training just yesterday, when it reality, it was nearly an entire year ago!

A lot of changes are coming for me (I feel like I'm always saying that!) and I'm probably a little bit too excited about it.

Because I'm changing everything about my blog soon, I have now changed all of my user names on my social media platforms. Don't worry, if you're already following me, you have nothing to worry about, but if you aren't the social media icons to the right will no longer work.

Please feel free to follow me on Twitter and Instagram with the user name @kt_nay clever right?

After seeing my design live I am so so tempted to launch earlier than January...I may just do that!  I am also planning a post holiday/new blog launch giveaway. No matter when I launch, that giveaway will be after the New Year. I suppose I could get your opinion!

Are you ready to see the change? I know I am. Let me know what you think!

Other than that, I really don't have a whole lot going on right now. I'm busily working on some things for school as the semester is winding down, I'm spending countless hours in the gym preparing for a pending APFT and I'm getting excited to return home soon!

What are you all up to this fine Wednesday?

Pizza is a food group, right?

I have had a significant amount of trouble coming up with something to talk about today.  I've been trying really hard to be one of those 5 days a week blog types that actually make it point to put pen to paper and say something big and important. Problem is, I can't really think of anything big and important.

So instead, I'll guess I'll just share some random things about me, because let's face it, I'm a blogger and I love to tell you all about me.

I have a slight obsession with Doctor Who but I'm refusing to watch the last season. I don't want it to end. And my English professor looks exactly like David Tennant. And he's British. And his name is David.

My new blog is going to be called "Chalk it Up to Better Luck" 

and I'm not nearly as messy as a I used to be...

I believe that laundry doesn't need to be done until you have exhausted every possible wardrobe option and worn everything the maximum number of time until it must be washed.

I can literally watch Pitch Perfect every night for a month and not get sick of it.In fact, I'll probably just love it more.

I learned most of my life lessons from Mr. Feeney. And I'm not the only one

I will also get goose bumps and cry every time I hear him say this last line.

I have a wanderlust that will likely never be fully satisfied. 

I change my plans on a near weekly basis because  I change on a weekly basis.

If I'm listening to the radio in my car and a song comes on that may slightly relate to me, I feel like the universe is speaking to me. But get this...I don't believe in signs.

I will eat nearly any type of frozen pizza product...
I just barely figured out that you can embed IG images and I'm about to become an embedding fool...

I have an odd but undeniable love for vintage pyrex dishes...

I used to be able to read 300 page books daily.  Don't judge me.

I prefer a cold can of coke in the morning to coffee, orange juice or really any other beverage



See I told you, It's going to happen. I'm an embedding fool...

I get a ridiculous amount of satisfaction out of people re-pinning something that I pinned. The other day, I pinned something that received over 200 re-pins. You read that correctly. 200.

And I'm pretty sure you guys have got to be tired of learning all these random things about me, so I guess I'll let you go.

By the way, I think you should go over to Whitney's blog and check out her new blogging T-shirts. They're freaking genius...just sayin'.

Talking About Bright & Shiny Things

Well helllloooo there today, bloggy.

I think this might be the first Tuesday since I have lived in Las Vegas that I haven't woken up on the wrong side of the bed.  For some reason, Tuesday is just uglier than Monday, especially because it's the day that I have to go to work :P

I really used to love my job, but it has turned into a place that I don't like to be. Not only do I not like being here, but I feel like I am at a dead end and it is time for something new now more than ever.


But I woke up on the bright and shiny side of the bed, so I should talk about bright and shiny things instead of dull ones like worky work.

So for some reason that I am not quite aware of, pretty much e'ry one one of my Facebook friends is in love with this picture and I really have no idea why! I don't know what is so special about it. I snapped a selfie because I put a tiny bit of effort into making up my face yesterday, and then everyone goes liking this photograph...Otay. I won't complain.

I don't think I've ever had this kind of response to a photo of me. So there you have it, my face is a hit and I don't know why. 

What else...? Hmmm...I'm running 40 miles this month. Maybe even more!

I'm joining Hannah from Hannah, Here! in her quest to walk/run 40 miles in the month of November. I used to be a total PT stud and now I can barely force myself to run two miles. So I think this will help me out. 

While Hannah is taking beautiful nature walks, I'm running on a treadmill and a track more than I am outside. In fact, I'm kind of scared to run outside. Las Vegas is a scary place. But it is still a really awesome goal that I'm working hard to meet! Want to join Hannah and me? Use hashtag #40milesinnovember to track your progress with us!

I got to see my "inspiration board" for my new blog and I am so so excited about it. For a minute I was rethinking it. I didn't know if I should do it, and I was second-guessing myself all over the place. All of my apprehensions are gone after seeing the ideas for my design. I'm having Jane from Poppiness Designs create my look and I could not be happier with my choice.  

I think that's about it for today! 

But before I go, I think you should run over to Kylie's Blog!

Kylie Smiles

She is new to my sidebar! Head on over and give her blog a read. I would recommend starting with this post!  It's one of my favorites that I've read from Kylie.  She's from Arizona, but living in my home-state! She write awesome posts that are truly inspiring for me to read! I highly suggest you head her way and check her out. 

Don't forget about my November sponsor Metal Marvels! It's never too early to start your Christmas shopping! Put in your order today!

How Do You Explain BFE To Your Co-Workers?

Today...What do I say about today? 

Well, have you ever heard that Shania Twain song "Honey, I'm Home"?

Now you have.  Holy crap. That dancing and those outfits...too good. If the video doesn't work, go watch it. It's great.

But anyway, that pretty much explains how my day went. I woke up extremely late. Holy crap, the speed and intensity with which you get dressed when you are late could rival that of a Marine Corps Recruit...I would have made it on time to work, but I drove too aggressively and missed my exit.

Then I had to park in BFE (a term I had to explain at work in a group chat with 15+ people...how do you explain Bum F@#$ing Egypt in a professional way?) in 5 degree weather because I was late.

Then I had to kick someone out of my desk when I got to work...something I never enjoy doing. And we were in queue for almost an hour which means about 15 seconds between calls. If that long!

Seriously, it was the most ridiculous day...I also ended up having to look fairly homeless because I had to jump out of bed, but on a bra and run out the door.

It's my own fault. I slept in on Sunday morning, so I wasn't tired that night...I stayed up too late.

But that doesn't make it less crappy!

I'm also starting to get sad I'm leaving work. I have a really good time talking to all my co-workers and teaching my trainees how to do my job. It's fun, and I'm good at it.  Of course it will be a nice change of pace to leave and I'm so excited to get to live my dream, but there's a few things that I will definitely miss.

Today we discussed a road not taken that I am seriously considering jaunting down some day soon.  I've been watching the TV show Heartland on Netflix (It's about cowboys in Canada. Totally didn't even know Canada had cowboys and got to feel dumb when people explained the rodeo circuit up there to me) But anyway, I think I really want to try my hand with the horses...My dad is a cowboy. I've been around horses all my life. They don't scare me. I used to ride fairly well, and I bet that I could do it.

My list of things to do before I die just got a little bit longer because "become a cowgirl" just got added...

And if you're looking for an amazing song to listen to..."Merry Go 'Round" by Kacy Musgraves. You will not regret it.

[EDIT]
After writing this post, I learned the song, "Merry Go 'Round" given the day I have I look like a ho-bo, but I want to share it with you! It is on my crappy webcam...meaning not so good, but I'm pretty okay with it seems how I learned it barely over an hour ago...So, enjoy!

And now that I've gotten super random and written a blog post about absolutely nothing. Go enter my giveaway! Do it. I know you want to!

Cups.

I'm having a bad case of the bloggy blues.

I was thinking about blogging about Drill this past weekend, but that wasn't all that exciting.
I thought about blogging about my love life. Then I realized I don't have one.
I considered saying a word or two about work, but work is definitely not all that fun to read about. I have brainstormed and thought for a while and I have decided on this:

I saw this on Pitch Perfect and I'm a little bit obsessed. When I can do this, I'm uploading it and sharing it with the world...Coolest thing ever.

[EDIT]

Okay. I can do it...It's not the best, but I'm posting it anyway! I hope you like it! Here you go!



The end.
