It's Okay Tuesday...

It's okay that....

... I forgot I had training at work this week and was 20 minutes late on Monday morning. Luckily my supervisor is in charge of the training and they didn't start until after I got there, so I had some time to put my things done. 

... my hair is a lot curlier than I had planned. Originally I just wanted some waves/volume in my hair but after 2 bad tries they had to put smaller curlers in my hair which means my hair is curly. I'm loving my hair, though! 

... my mom spent 2 nights at my house. Both our husbands are out of town and she didn't want to be home alone. I loved having her!

... it's taking me longer than I would have wanted to get my house into shape. Even though we've been married nearly 2 months (2 weeks of which we were out of town) the house still has a bit of a way to go. Mostly it's the office - which desperately needs a filing cabinet and for cables to be set into place.

... I really want to buy myself an iMac. I have money left over from some bonds my mom sold and gave to me to buy things for the house - which is enough to buy the iMac as well as the few missing furniture pieces. However, it seems like overkill. I have a MacBook Pro and Thomas will be setting up a Windows computer so that I can play video games with him. We shall see what happens with this one. 

... I miss my husband terribly and cannot wait for him to get home on Friday. 

Hey! It's okay....

It’s okay….

… that I don’t do anything moving related Monday night and just go to sleep.

… that I’m a bit sad that my mom isn’t home, and in the hospital with my sister.

… that although we spent 3 hours looking at furniture with a sales lady and then only bought 4 things.

… that I bought a new car battery this weekend even though mine wasn’t completely dead.

… that I’m not trying to lose weight and instead just enjoying food and celebrations in the days leading up to my wedding.

… if I get sad and anxious about moving out. This will be my first time on my own and will be a challenge. I already miss my mom, and it doesn’t help that she’s not home now.

… that sometimes I take a lot of breaks at work and chit chat with coworkers (including my supervisor).

… that blogging (both reading and writing) have had to wait because searching for furniture and being with my sister have taken a front seat.

Hey! It's okay...

It was one heck of a weekend so I think that finding all things that are okay is definitely something I needed.

Hey! It’s okay…

• That I cried. I needed to relieve some stress and get out the things that were going on in my head that I couldn’t otherwise express. I might have freaked Thomas out a bit (a lot), and even though it sucked having a panic attack at the time… I sort of feel like I was able to express a lot of my worries and concerns.
• That I bought a fridge on Sunday evening without Thomas there. I asked him to go with me but he said he didn’t want to. I went with my mom and I chose a fridge that I am happy with. I’ll go and check it out with Thomas to make sure he likes it.
• That I am a bit of a perfectionist, especially when it comes to my wedding. Unfortunately this has caused a lot of arguments between Thomas and I, but I stand by wanting things specific ways. I’m discovered that I am sort of a micromanager and not being able to control certain aspects of the wedding is driving me insane.
• That I spend the majority of my 3-minutes-between-calls time reading blogs. My morning at work usually consists of taking calls and then reading blogs 3 minutes at a time. After I get through all the blogs I go to Twitter, then I will either scroll through Instagram or start writing my own blog post (like this one, during my lunch hour).
• (probably not okay, but it’s okay…) that I peel my gel nail polish office as time gets close to getting them re-done. I leave them on for a month, so the last week they begin to peel. I’ll be getting them redone tonight! I only have 2 more times before the wedding and then I will no longer go to the salon for them.
• That I do not love being in social situations and that I sometimes would rather hang out just with Thomas or on my own. .
• That I have not been worrying about losing weight for now. My plan is that when I get back from my honeymoon (which is to Argentina so it will include a lot of red meat, gelato dulce de leche, facturas and masa finas) I will reevaluate my weight and where I want to be. I will plan out meals (I think I will start off doing lots of crock pot recipes) that both Thomas and I enjoy and that are healthy for us. It will be a work in progress to learn to cook for two on a daily basis and to learn which veggies he will and will not eat.
• To feel a bit of relief to have our loan approved. We are about 11 days away from closing escrow. I still very much dislike our realtor, but thanks to a great broker my spirits have been up. We should have our appraisal completed any day now.
• To not be completely excited about the bridal shower that I’m having on Sunday. Don’t get me wrong, I am VERY grateful for it, but because it is a social event it is giving me a bit of anxiety which in turns does not allow me to be excited.
• To be upset that flights for our honeymoon were as low $849 round trip and by the time I went to buy them they had gone up $200 per ticket. I’m holding out hope that they will go back down soon.
• That this post is really long… so I will stop here!

Hey! It's Okay.... Tuesday!

I really needed this Link-Up today!

Buying a house and getting married simultaneously is hard work and very stressful (among other things!). It started to catch up to me again on Monday, so telling myself it’s okay… really helps!  This is my first time participating! Yay!

Hey! It's okay... that I indulged this weekend and ate what I wanted! 

Hey! It's okay... that I got really upset at our realtor doing a craptastic job in communicating with us. She's working for us and she will be paid a lot of money!

Hey! It's okay... that Thomas and I went to a movie on Monday night! We saw Non-Stop which was pretty nice. It really had me guessing as to who the bad guys were! 

Hey! It's okay... that I feel sad about moving away from my mommy and daddy (even we are moving down the block!)

Hey! It's okay... to want our wedding to be a certain way and to be sad when things don't go my way. 

Hey! It's okay... that I want to buy a new french door refrigerator even though the condo we are buying has a side-by side one. It's not in great condition and it seemed to have missing shelves. 

(doesn't it look amazing??)

Hey! It's okay... that I can't think of anything else I'm okay with right now. 

Happy Tuesday!
