Playing catch up in pictures.

Thursday night, my friend Christina came over last night for a sleepover.  I went to crossfit and grabbed dinner and wine (of course) on my way home. She got to my side of town early so she stopped at the gas station down the road and picked up some goodies while she waited on me. $40 later she showed up at my place with a bag of random items.

we only was $3 on the scratch offs btw.

That Ed Hardy wine bag/cooler is just too much. I went nuts over Ed Hardy clothing back in 2008-2009. Check out the shirts below...the money wasted on those shirts is unreal.

 

My dogs were jelly we weren't giving them enough attention.
But they were loving
those cat treats Xtina brought them.
Question: Can dogs eat cat treats?

Friday night: crossfit and Froyo.

 

Saturday night was my step-dad's birthday party. My brother and I were pretty much on a secret mission. My mom cannot know we went to his party. & Actually I saw my mom on Saturday afternoon and I had to fib a little when she asked me if I had plans later on. She gets major butt hurt when we see my step-dad since they are no longer married. Literally would not speak to us and might revoke the ski trip she is paying for in 2 weeks. This man was a part of our lives for 16 years.. I cant just write him off because they had issues. Anyways, the party was a huge hit and we had a blast!

 

Brother & his girlfriend.

Finally reunited with two of my best friends from College.

We were the life of the party... or at least that's what we thought.

I carried that pinata around in my purse all night like it was a real pup.

It took a while to get a decent picture.

 

I hope everyone had a great weekend & cheers to another week!! 

 

My bio that turns into a Craigslist Ad.

Believe it or not, writing a bio can be difficult..actually writing anything in 3rd person gets tricky. Most of them sound so cheesy and I just starred at a black word document for 30 minutes. I am a new member of OWIT (Organization for Women in International Trade). A friend of mine let me tag  along to different events last year and this year, not only am I a member, I am part of the BOM. Well not Board of Management but pretty effing close.  I might as well have my own secretary, travel agent & driving service. Which reminds me I should've worked out a better agreement before singing up for this, not to self for next year. Anyways, I am on the OWIT Board and I am in charge of Marking and Social Media. Right up my ally. AND Here is my bio that will not be posted to the website for obvious reasons.

Ashten Postell was born and raised in the Houston, TX. She attended Sam Houston State University where she received a Bachelor degree in Business Marketing.  After graduation, Ashten began working at Mammeot USA. She was the Marketing Coordinator for 2 ½ years and made the switch to Operations a year ago where she focuses on international shipping of Mammoet equipment to job sites around the world. Ashten enjoys spending time with family and friends and her two yorkies. She  is single and looking for a (tall, boot wearing) sugar daddy ( between the ages of 28 and 32) who has not been previously married or  has children. Since she is  pretty independent, it would not be a problem if he works out of the country for any amount of time. Also, Ashten likes the Pearland area and is not willing to move. Please email head shots to ashten.postell@mmammoet.com and let’s get this party started.

Oh! Also, most headshots look like this.

Thanks Google Images.

Annnnd this is the result of my professional photo shoot.

Just realized I have only posted once this week which is horrible. I mean, I speak as if I have tons of people stopping by to read this nonsense on the daily.

Happy Thursday y'all! Which means tomorrow is Friday! & Friday's are the best.

Being Accountable

I was a horrible blogger this weekend and barely took any pictures so instead of boring you with nonsense that took place over the last 2 days I will move right along to a new Link-Up!

I have been doing pretty great with my New Year's Resolutions but I thought I would add a few more to focus on each month. Below are a few goals I have for February.

No fast food. > I can honestly say that I cannot remember the last time I went through a drive through so this should be pretty easy for me. I have been cooking at home more and planning snacks for the road when I am out & about.

Church every Sunday. > I have visited New Hope for the past 3 weeks and I really love it so I don't see this being hard to accomplish. But I will be in Breckenridge on Feb 23 so that will be the only Sunday I will miss.

Organize my closet. > It really needs some love.

Meditate. > This is something I have been wanting to look into. I am usually so busy and my mind is constantly on overdrive. I need to take time for myself to disconnect from everything and center my energy.

Work out 20 times. > I have been working out 6 days a week so this is a reasonable amount.

No new clothes. > This one is going to be really hard but Ashley has inspired me. My bank account could use a break so this should be really great! I think I can, I think I can.

Drink more water. > Last week I told my co-worker that I have been drinking alot of water as I took a drink of my tea. She called me out and said tea isn't water.. and I said, it's pretty much the same thing.. and she said, no... no its not.

 

Cheers to another Monday y'all! I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

 

Little gems

I am not the biggest fan of Valentines Day, I mean it is just another day right? If I had a hot date lined up maybe I would feel a little differently. Usually this day is filled with drinking tons of booze with my single friends and shit talking about how lame people in relationships are.  But these days it seems as though everyone is getting married and dating someone great and I am over here like- who wants to get shit faced with me? Oh, no one, because everyone is lame and has lame date plans with their lame BFs.

BUT no ones needs a hot date if you have a Galentine.. I have linked up with Ashten & Allie for their "Galentine's Day". Everyone who signed up was paired with another blogger and we have a week to decide the best way to spend $20 on our Galentine. I found out yesterday that I have been paired with KAI! & the stalking began. The hard part, keeping cost at $20.00. Which got me thinking about some items I love that are pretty cheap. Here are a few of my go-to products that I use daily.




Revlon Colorburst Stain

Fav chapstick

Hand lotion

Nail polish



These headbands are great
for the gym.

This whole Blog Land can be a little confusing but I am slowly figuring things out... I signed up for Bloglivin. So follow me.. or else. :)

Hope everyone has some amazing weekend plans!!!
My weekend is filled with crossfit, baby shower, dinner, church & massage OH and I almost forgot the Super Bowl. What team are you rooting for??


Song of the week goes to the one and only Beyoncé.
Did you see her Grammy performance? It was insane.
                                            

Identity Crisis

Ok, so I have had this blog for 4 whole months now.. I am so new to this thing and I don't know much but I do know that I cannot stand the title of this thing. no joke.

Here is what happened...
I put little thought into the title because I was being impatient (nothing new). I started this blog in a matter of minutes and put little thought into the small details. I just grabbed a template, played around with a few colors and posted a picture. Done & done. I am not the best writer, my grammar needs help and my posts are a work in progress. I know it needs work but that stuff does not bother me. The title bothers the shit out of me. It really does. I wanted something cute and girly and little did I know it was not clever at all. Southern Class with a bit of Sass. Nope. This has got to change.

I will have a new title soon...and I will be able to sleep better at night.

To be continued...

My Grandma totally called me out.

Last Sunday, I went over to my Grandma's house to catch up and have lunch. She made her amazing enchiladas with a side of guacamole and queso. Which totally didn't fit into this whole clean eating thing but sister needs a day off every now and then. So I ate and ate..and ate. The only thing I turned down was some wine because I decided my calorie intake for the day was already on overload.

After lunch we were cleaning up the kitchen and my phone was blowing up with text messages. I got my phone to see what all the chatter was about and it was a bridesmaids group text discussing the dress we will be wearing. The bride chose this one shoulder chiffon dress in the blue (it kept changing the color to purple when I clicked on black view). I am not sure about the shoes or jewelry but I assume silver? Who knows. Anyways, I showed my grandma the picture of the dress and told her that I was in another wedding on September 6th. Which is followed by this conversation.

She says, "Ashten why are all of your friends getting married and you aren't? What is the deal?"
me: Umm...would you like to rephrase that?
Grandma: hahaha < she thinks she is too funny
me: You might as well just run me over in your driveway right now.
Grandma: you will have 27 dresses before you know it
Me: keep it up..

Just for the record, this is only the 3rd time I will be a bridesmaid.

Once again, everyone is concerned about my dating life or lack there of.

Have a great Wednesday! Thursday is almost here which means we are close to the weekend!

My sister is hilarious.

There is a new app (or old, who knows) called Helium. Must. Download. Now!

You can create videos (up to 45 seconds long) and it will change your voice which makes anything and everything hilarious. My sister is pretty great at it.

Here are a few of my favorites.










Hope everyone has a great Tuesday & stay warm!!
