Happy Girl - Long Post - Day 18

Hello dolls! I had such a good day today! It was the perfect way to start the weekend. I'll tell you a bit more after I do today's challenge. The challenge is a picture of my biggest insecurity. I've already shown you all my body, and honestly, its not the thing I stress about the most. I am a total freak about the shape of my face in certain pictures. I look really normal in some, like here:

Normal-ish, but still not perfect in my world.

But in other pictures, I look like Mrs. Potato Head. There's something about the angle of the photo I'm taking. Here's my spud face:

Yuckkkkk. I can't even stand it. Oh, and I get really red in the face at the slightest hint of alcohol or physical activity haha. It drives me crazy.

 

So that's probably my biggest insecurity - how huge my face looks in certain angles. I don't think its something I can ever fix. Ugh. At least I can sort of hide it, right? What's your biggest insecurity?

I will finally tell you about my day! It was great. I didn't have work so I slept in a bit and cuddled with the pup. I woke up to a text from my best friend telling me that she was able to get off of work next weekend to come see me! I'm so, so excited! I haven't seen her since last July. She lives four hours away (which totally sucks), and I hardly ever get to see her. It sucks. BUT I get to spend my milestone birthday (my 25th, which is next Friday) with my best friend! What a great present. I think we're going to go out pretty much all weekend, which is totally atypical for both of us. We're both homebodies who don't really drink. I think a party weekend is in order, though. I deserve it! My 21st was horrible and I really, really just want to have a good, memorable time. What do you think I should do?


After that spectacular news I got ready, and went out to lunch with a girlfriend I haven't seen in quite some time. After lunch I went to see my ex's parents. I'm super close with them, especially his mom, and they're like family to me. His mom cooked us dinner (homemade mac 'n' cheese) and then we had some eclairs that she brought back from a special bakery. Delish! I only had half of one. I'm proud of myself for not overindulging. :)

Unfortunately my boyfriend hates the idea of my ever seeing my ex again but there's zero chemistry there anymore. I feel like he's my dorky kid cousin or something. Oh, well. I'll tolerate the boyfriend's antics I guess. Have you ever had to deal with that kind of thing? Its not even jealousy, which is the weird thing. He's honestly worried that my ex has feelings for me and he's trying to prevent that. Ugh.

After saying my "goodbyes" to the ex's fam, I headed off to my supermarket and picked up some fruit: kumquats, star fruit, kiwi, watermelon, and grapes. I'm super excited. I can't wait to try the more exotic ones. I decided to cut up my watermelon right away and put it into a good container. Usually I just let it sit and figure, 'Oh, I'll eat it soon' and then it goes bad. I'm a nerd. I get so excited over the littlest things.

Now I'm home with my mama and animals and we're watching "Knight and Day" (with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz). I can see why it didn't get rave reviews. Its ok, but its definitely nothing spectacular. As much as I love a good adventure movie, its too cheesy. Its completely unrealistic, but I'll finish it. I cannot wait to go to sleep. Have you ever felt really exhausted but you haven't done anything strenuous all day? That's pretty much the story of my life, haha.

Well, I'm going to finish the movie and drift off. I hope that you all have a great weekend! Night, dolls!

Lots of love!

XoXo,

Lexi
