Sometimes and Always #19

Sometimes: I try to drink water. 

Always: I just don't enjoy it. Unless it's after a workout...which I don't ever do. So yeah. 

Sometimes: I stay up way too late, even after I tell myself to go to bed early.

Always: I just LOVE being up at night...that's when I thrive.

Sometimes: I wish that we could take professional pictures all the time. 

Always: I realize that we would be BROKE!


Sometimes: I feel like I could be doing a lot more for Christ.

Always: I want people to see Christ in me as soon as they meet me...and every day after.

Sometimes: I feel really awkward when I ride side by side with another car.

Always: I either speed up or slow down to get away from them. 

Sometimes: I think about eating healthy. 

Always: I usually don't. 

Pizza Hut lunch yesterday. So good I could barely pause for this picture.

Andddddd...I'm guest posting for Nikki about my job as a nurse in the Emergency Department. I don't really share much about my job on here, so it's a first! Go read it here

Grab the button on my sidebar and link up...can't wait to read what y'all come up with!

I have to tell you that I thought of you while in Florida last week at a Sonic pit-stop. I just had to have a diet vanilla coke AND a slushee! :)

Rebekah said...

Have you ever tried Mio for your water? I hear it is pretty good.

Lindsey @ Running Down A Dream said...

I've grown to love water, so I don't have that problem anymore!

I think there is always more we could be doing for Christ! I think it definitely shines through in your blog!

Brittany said...

Drink a glass of water first thing n the morning It helps get the water ball rolling for me :)

Megan said...

The whole car thing- Yes. I am right there with you. Its just AWKWARD.

Emily @ Raines and Shines said...

I think about eating healthy all the time but somehow it never happens.

Sarah said...

I want to smack you for putting up a pic of that pizza. Omggg and here I am trying to be healthy today. But that just looks so darn delicious! I may be making a call at lunch :)

Happiness Is... said...

I totally agree on the Christ thing. I am right there with you. This morning I didn't get my "me" time reading the Bible b/c Thatcher got up early and I feel guilty ... I need to devote time to Him every day and when I don't I hate it!

Lauren said...

i really need to drink more water, but as a teacher i can't be going to the bathroom every 20 minutes (haha) and i agree about the car thing...it's WAY too awkward to be right next to someone else!

MzJessicaxo said...

I love Sometimes & Always!

Meg O. said...

Yeah.... my attempts to stay healthy are ruined by pizza, as well :)

Erin said...

To drink more water try "Mio"... have you heard of it?! It's just a flavor to add to water, but it's nice because it has NO sugar and it's all natural stuff. My fave flavor to add it Black Cherry! :)

Oh, and I'm with you on the professional pics thing. Our first anniversary is in May and I REALLY want to get pictures taken- but can't find anyone affordable!

Melissa said...

I love water, but i understand not everyone does ;) I am right there with you on the car situation, i do the same! I <3 your blog!

Mateya said...

Oh goodness that pizza looks good! :)

Have you tried drinking water out of a bottle that has a straw? That has helped me tons!

lori said...

i am the same way about staying up at night!! i always regret it in the mornings.

and i really wish we could have professional pictures taken all the time! i try to get them done once a year for our christmas cards.... but it is expensive!

Beth Ann said...

I am in total agreement with every single one of these!

Nikole E! said...

Haha! I am so with you on the riding side by side with anothe car... so uncomfortable lol... and I might have to get pizza hut tonight

Nicole said...

plain water is boring anyway :) I haven't had pop since Jan 2nd.... so I drink those drink flavors added to water b/c water is boring!

Lauren said...

water is seriously so boring...i have a cup on my desk just for such boring things but it rarely gets filled!

Melanie Mueller said...

I love these!!
I stay up super late and that is when I feel a sense of freedom. Weird huh? Not when you are a mama of three boys! =)

Amanda said...

I would love to be getting some professional pictures done of M and I. Another time and place for that :)

Jenny said...

What is healthy eating? HAHA!!! That pizza hut looks so yummy right now!

Emily grapes said...

I can't stand people driving along side me. I'll always speed up. It makes me think they're watching me.

Sometimes: I think I've got a decent grasp on yoga.
Always: I go to a new class and it blows my mind.

Funny as it sounds, water was an acquired taste with me. Gorgeous professional picture!

Natalie said...

Ha ha I feel the same way when driving right next to someone...hate that!

Kimberly said...

I LOVE your pictures! I never thought Pizza Hut could look so good! What type of camera do you use?

I absolutely despise water. I try on occassion to make myself drink it but I just can't!

I thrive at night too but man I'm NOT a morning person :)

Have a good week!

Allyson said...

I see God through you when I read your posts!! You have the light of Christ shining through you whether you know it or not :)

Also, Pizza Hut is the bomb.

Mrs. Pedersen said...

Haha!! So glad I'm not the only one who feels weird when I'm side by side with a car. ;-)

Brit said...

Thanks for stopping by. I am glad we "met" too. I am totally with you on the professional pictures. So amazing, but so expensive!

Michaela said...

It's especially awkward when I'm singing really loud and driving right next to another car :) hahaa Love these!

Amber said...

I always tell myself I'm going to go to bed early too, then I stay up late and hate myself the next morning, haha! I can't help it.. I'm a night owl!

Neely said...

I feel awkward next to other cars too!!!

tara said...

i hate drinking water!! its just so.. BLAH!

BeckyJo606 said...

I feel so weird when I'm next to another car too! I feel like they're invading my privacy or I'm invading theirs! I just got a sedan instead of my SUV and it's really bad for me now! I always felt like I had more privacy in a SUV. Maybe I'm the weird one? :) haha!

Christina said...

I don't know how you keep coming up with stuff for S&A! I try and then I can't think of anything. I feel like we are sisters from another mother with the stuff you post though :)

The Poole Family said...

Sometimes: I think about ways I can convince you to be my neighbor.
Always: I love you.
How about that for a return to blog world comment?? :) :)

Jessica and Stephan said...

haha, these posts always make me laugh! You're hilarious :)

Whitney @ Everything Happens For a Reason said...

I HATE water. Recently, I've been trying to drink a few glasses a day, since I'm always on the verge of dehydration and cause it helps you lose weight. Haha

Renee said...

I feel like I could have written each and every one of these today myself. I have been literally forcing myself to drink more water starting yesterday. BOOO. And your guest post. Of course I loved! I can relate so much. You make me miss critical care!

Holly said...

I also hate drinking water. It really is not tasty. Blergh. :S

I do like herbal tea though, which I am HOPING is almost as good for me...

Heather said...

Water is all I ever drink anymore. I can't remember the last time I had a soft drink. After a while it isn't so bad :).

Jamie said...

I just love getting our pictures taken too!

Barbie said...

So funny! I always feel weird driving side by side to another car!! For some reason I always feel the need to pick up my cell phone and pretend Im calling someone :)

Gail @ Sophisticated Steps said...

I'm a night owl, too...and I always say "I'm going to bed early tonight." Right.

The side-by-side car thing - cracked me up. I think I do the same, though never consciously. Haha.

Others seeing Christ in you/me. Yes, yes, yes. Pray so, too.

Professional pics...girl, I can help you out with that...for the cost of a plane ticket! Lol.
