Im baaAAAAAaaack.

YOOOO, I disappeared and apologies all around. My freaking life is great and nonstop and I got a new job so yeaaaaaaaaaaaa. busy as a bee. Im a recruiter for a small firm like 5 minutes from mi casa. today there were snow flurries. no me gusta. and I'm officially a functioning member of society. HALLELUJAH!

I love my job, I love my boss, I love it all. 

so grateful.

my KK is now my househusband. He's home all day (working from home) while I work, prepares lunch when I come home, makes the bed, does the laundry, and is excited to see me when I return. He's a keeper. 
Back up off my boo.

Thanksgiving is coming up. flights are redonkulous... and Im not prepared for Christmas to be right there behind it. OY

The presidential erection is soon. UGHHHHHHH. f u nobama.

speaking of bama....Auburn football is at an all time (in the history of time, im sure) low. like 1-7 record. like, serious. w.t.f. It's depressing and I don't even wanna think about it. 

so that about wraps it up. working, freezing, losing. ON A POSITIVE NOTE. My DIRTY BIRDS ARE UNDEFEATED!!!! KAAAA KAAAAAAAAAAAA, RISE UP!!!!

aka the Atlanta Falcons are kicking ace. and the Vikings are doing pretty hot as well. 

Auburn football has taught me to not hold my breath. so....we shall see.

deuces. 

I miss Atlanta.

freezing and football.

Its "officially" Fall these days, however its felt like Fall here in Minnesota for far longer than the official  date. I'd venture to say its the middle of Winter. barf.

Im interviewing for jobs and its been insane. I hope to have a decision made tomorrow for a position. I don't even have cold weather interviewing garb. The high today is 75 though so, HIP HIP HORRAY.

Moms coming to visit soon! anddddd my friend from Atlanta is moving here today. Im so excited I could just throw up. I've forgotten what its like to interact with a female in person. Im stuck up Kevin and his friends butts every day, its getting old! 

My brother moved to Alabama over the weekend, marking the first time in his life he's ever made some long term decision. Lets hope he gets his life together. 

Auburn football is a joke this year...we are officially the worst, I've ever been alive to witness. We're 1-3. Haven't had a start like this since the 80's or something crazy like that. Next week we have a bye week, then after that we play 2 bad teams, however at this rate, we may not even beat them. Khiel Frazier is not a good quarterback and rivals The Jets Mark Sanchez in degree's of terribleness. I do however, always stand behind my Auburn Tigers no matter what. Im also not blind. SO, here's to making at least 5 wins so we can get a bowl game this year!!!!!!!

Im homesick.

Flying home to Florida in less than a month to go sail to the Bahamas for a few days.

September 11th 2001, I got my drivers license....What were you doing?

holy macaroni.

Sorry I've been MIA. Since being in Minnesota I've come to realize I need a friggen job. Who wants to hire me? What I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. 

Liam Neeson just gets me.

I've been busy learning to live with a man, cleaning, doing laundry, wishing a job opening would just call me out of the blue, and crying every time my phone says any degrees below 75. Oh, I did get a new phone, ADIOS BLACKBERRY.

I've also gotten fat. Been to a Twins game. Got a Costco membership. Turned 27. and my honey got a new car. 

Life's great. 

OHHHH and the best news ever ever ever isssss, my friend from Atlanta just told me yesterday that she and her husband are moving up here in 2 weeks, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. im happy.

I live in Minnesota.

This has been an insane last 5-7 days. All is well and Im finally moved in but there have been like 900 things on my mind and obstacles to overcome.

FIRST. I would like to say Uhaul in Buckhead off Peachtree St. right by the Kroger where it turns into Peachtree Industrial Blvd.....was fantastic. They were very helpful and I'm grateful for their generosity. long story short. I bought a hitch, took it to them to install, my car wouldn't allow them to install it, so they gave me a truck for about $150 cheaper than it would normally be because of all this mumbo-jumbo, last minute, unforeseen and unavoidable problems.

so. $640 later, we're on the road.

I'll miss you Atlanta :(

Then we went through Kentucky

oh lala Louisville

We then got to Indianapolis shortly after this picture....and slept at my Aunt's house that night after a great meal and a walk, we were in bed by 9:45. We got up at about 4:30am to get back on the road. Just as the sun was rising we went through Chicaghoe around 7ish.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bears.

Guess where we went next??

we spent $30 on cheese. 

Wisconsin!

 The weather during the 2 days of travel was beautiful.....that is, until we hit Minnesota.

looking a little muggy minnesota...

oh, thanks for the welcome home party.

But the fun didnt stop there. In the midst of unpacking some necessary boxes from the back of the uhaul in the sprinkling rain. My cheapass flip flops from sears slipped and left this baby on my backside

awesome.

 Well, Im here in one piece (except for the mirror I was holding when I fell) and Auburn football starts in 3 days and my birthday is on Labor Day (5 days)...the next couple of days are gonna be crazy. I cant wait.

crigler OUT.

JUICY NEWS and Im moving in 24-48hrs

It's 5am and I cant sleep. shocker. It's been a couple of days since my last oh so deep, largely fonted post. But not only was yesterday my moms 1 year anniversary of marriage (skankydashian's wedding anniversary would've been the day before it---my how 294 days have flown by). Stay focused Courtney, the juicy news is.

My ex is gonna be a baby daddy.
(T-bird thats just my baby daddy)

I'm..... ugh. still feeling weird about it. Surely Im not the only one who feels this way after an ex and yourself parts ways....according to my calculations via bookface, they did the dirty like 3-4 months after he broke my ticker. Is that a rebound? Im sure I was still crying into my couch pillows by that point. jerk. 

He's having a girl and I cant help but feel the irony. He's not with the mother anymore I hear, but in more ways than one--he is...for like the next 18 years. I wonder if she's crazy? wouldn't that really stir the pot? crazy broads really get me going. Women are half as crazy as they are because of the crap they make up themselves in their brains. Im sure hormones aren't helping either. 

In way more important relevant news, my number one boo who didn't knock up his ex, Kevin is flying in this morning and I cant wait to have him help me pack see him! We have a new apartment that we're temporarily moving into in Eden Prairie, MN 

and in case you missed this list published a couple of days ago, BOOM.

NUMBER 3! (and my Alma Mater in at #89)

jeah.

We've got a 6 month lease and Im WAYYYYY excited. My first time living in sin with a boy! Don't tell pawpaw. Im almost 27, I think Im old enough. And we're not having babies or anything cray. Kevin is making offers on houses and fingers crossed, we'll have a home soon.

Kevin lands in about 4 hours then its off to get a hitch installed on my car, pick up the uhaul, pack up the 10 boxes that I haven't even assembled, and eat lunch at my favorite sushi restaurant. busy coco.

I forgot to mention...

My brother Drew got in a bad accident 3 days ago and this is my public service announcement to NOT USE CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING. He broke his nose, teeth went through his lip, he was bloody and swollen, and bonus, totaled my moms 2012 Land Rover. Always wear your seatbelt and don't fiddle for your phone at midnight. ps. this is a quick way to end the feud with your mother. It scared me pretty bad and having to hear via a text from my aunt was less than ok. Mom said she tried to call but it didn't go through, f u T-Mobile. 

Have a happy Wednesday and take no one for granted. I love you, Drewby.

love.

JLO got married

Im baaaaack. its been 6 days since my last post....I've been busy with everything for that wedding, being a taxi service for Kevin and Karla, trying not to die in the Alabama heat and packing my life up into boxes. its been nuts. 

The first problem started about an hour after my last post, I found out Kevin's flight was CANCELLED and rescheduled for Friday morning at 9am. Karla's was delayed like 3 hours and needless to say, we did not get to go to Montgomery that night. Luckily Kevin got on the 6am flight Friday morning, but then it was delayed and we just couldn't wait any longer. He ended up having to get a rental car and drive to Montgomery. I felt horrible! 

I hate you Delta.

The luncheon went fine, we got yummy food and cute gifts. 

bridesmaids at the luncheon

We took a nap afterwards then headed to the venue in BFE Lapine, Alabama.....like 45 minutes outside of Montgomery. Im surprised we had cell reception. 

The Old House at Meriwether

The rehearsal was quick and fun, then we headed to downtown Montgomery and called it a night at about 12am. 

MOH, Bride, MEEEEE, bridesmaid, bridesmaid

The morning of the wedding was also awesome, I was craving bang bang shrimp from Bonefish Grill....so we went there...and wouldn't you know it....they were unveiling their "brunch" menu the following day, so they were giving out the free menu that day to all "friends and family"...we soon became friends and family and got a free martini, appetizer, and entree's. it was amazing. 

We got to the venue in enough time for the bridal party to do ALL the junior bridesmaids hair. wtf. where are your parents? we do not have time to french braid 5 little girls ratty, tangled, sweaty, stinky hair while we are trying to get ourselves ready. ANNNNNNNNYWAY, we finally threw ourselves together and everything went off great. There were 2 kegs that were snuck in, however when the dad got wind of it, he took it upon himself to steal the tap when we weren't there guarding it. Needless to say, we took the party elsewhere to another middle of nowhere Alabama city. 

middle-of-nowhere after party

The weekend was fun and Im glad we all got to see our favorite country girl get married. Now they're in Jamaica mon....can't wait to see who gets married next!
