Where has this week gone?

Oh, boy!

This has been one cray-cray week. I don't even know where it has gone. I have a TON on projects at work that need attention and I've been picking up shifts at the other job.

Hallelujah for Hess Gas Stations with Dunkin' Donuts


This little buddy has given me the energy to power through my morning routine. I wish that there was an actual D&D close to me. I love their French Vanilla flavored coffee. But, I won't lie-Hess's version of D&D is right on! Today will be another 14 hr day for me, so I'll need all of this caffeine and then some..

I'm hoping this weekend will be a low-key one, filled with movies and sleep. I want to see all three of these movies,
In no particular order...



Gosh, how cute is Lion King. It's one of my favorite Disney Classics. I actually haven't seen a movie in 3D just yet, I honestly avoided them. But, this one I'm seeing. Maybe I can bring my nephews with me so I don't look like a loser 26-year old reliving her childhood.

Hope ya'll have a fantastic weekend. 
Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze some more posting time in soon.

10 Day You Challenge: Day 2 and I


Don't just love finally being able to sleep in, only to wake up even earlier than you normally do? It was all thanks to this little guy


It's his first time in my Mom's new beach house and he doesn't know what to do with himself. I bought him a bone to calm down, but he keeps running from one end of the house to the other. Trying to find a safe place to hide it. It cracks me up.

Let's wrap up this challenge.

Day 2: two songs (these change daily)

1. God Gave me You- Blake Shelton. 


2. Love on Top-Beyonce.




Day 1: one picture

Love him :)

10 Day Challenge: Day 8


Let's make this one short and simple, I've got a girl's wine night to attend to.

Today's topic is three films and I'm half tempted just to do the remaining three to be done with this challenge, but alas I'll stick to the rules. 

Three Films
These three are my top three girly movies.

1. Sweet Home Alabama. 

I just LOVE this movie, I can watch it every single time its on TV. I laugh, I cry, I love Reese Witherspoon. It just makes me so happy. Jason loves this movie too, so I'm lucky that he enjoys to watch it just as much.

2. Steel Magnolias. 

This is just one of my all time favorite movies. I remember watching this with my Momma when I was a kid.

3. League of their Own

Ah, this movie just makes me so happy. Jason recorded it for me a few weeks ago and it made my week. I'm currently singing "We are the members of the All American Team..." as I'm writing this post.

Anyone else excited that it's almost Labor Day Weekend?

10 Day Challenge: Day 6 & 7


It's Wednesday! Woohoo. Almost to the weekend. I've decided to combine Day 6 and 7 because I missed posting yesterday. Things have been crazy at work that when I get home I just want to crash. Thank the lord for this upcoming weekend and my new buddy:

I found this little gem at Target when I was picking up some last minute groceries for dinner on Monday. I bought some oranges and strawberries to cut up and stir in with it. It was SO delicious. Bethenny Frankel, you my dear are a genius. 

On to the Challenge...

Day 6:  Five Foods

1. Sweets. Preferably Red Velvet Cupcakes, Cheesecake 
or some kind of overly Chocolate cake.

2. Fried Food - I'm from the south.

3. Pasta. I can eat it every day, it is sad.

4. BBQ. This is almost by default. I can live on those top three foods alone, 
however Jason prefers to eat BBQ every night. 

5. Eggs Over Easy. They just make my breakfast 

Day 7: four books 

1.  Marley & Me. I'm a sucker for Dogs.

2. Something Borrowed

3. The Help

4. Lauren Conrad: LA Candy.

Truth be told - I've only read Marley & Me. The others are on my 'to read' list. I intend to try and find time to start reading but I just never have enough hours in the day. I watched Something Borrowed on demand on Sunday. It was SO cute and now I want to read the book. Hmm, maybe I'll pick it up on the way to the beach this weekend.

10 Day Challenge: Day 5


Happy Monday!! I had such a great weekend, and now I'm looking forward to this week's 3-day weekend even more. I'm so excited for some fun in the sun.

Back on track to my 10 day challenge, Today is 6 Places that I want to visit.

1. Bora, Bora. I would love for our honeymoon to be here.
2. St. Maarten. 
3. Australia
4. Hawaii
5. Europe. I've been to Italy and Ireland. But, my dream is to go to Europe for 3 months and just do as I please.
6. Turks and Caicos. 


Clearly, there is a theme with my vacation to-do list. I love tropical, beachy locals. I was meant to live as a beachbum.

10 Day Challenge: Day 4


My 7 wants:

1. I want peace for my Mom, she's been going through a lot lately and I'd like to see her back to where she used to be.

2. I want to be stress-free about money.

3. I want to trade in my Scion for a Jeep Compass or Cherokee. My Scion has the worst blind spots, which makes my horrible driving even worse.

4. I want it be the weekend already! :)

5. I want my nephews to grow up to be well-rounded men some day!

6. A cleaning lady would be amazing, I definitely want that

7. I want to live a long happy life with Jason. 

That's was fun! I'm so ready for the weekend, I can barely concentrate today. I wish I had exciting plans to chat about. We'll be going to a local Country bar on Saturday, Church on Sunday and that's about all we have planned for this weekend. Isn't too shabby

10 Day Challenge: Day 3


Today's 10 day challenge is about fears. Well I just happened to be one of those people that fears everything. Seriously, everything. I can't even watch the news, I think every story is about to happen to me. 

Without further adu...My 8 delusional fears

1. Bugs, Snakes, Spiders.... pretty much any animal that isn't a dog. I fear it. 
Fun Fact: I was coming home from work one night, getting ready to park in my driveway. My foot is on the brake, getting ready to put the car in park. I look down for a split second and happen to see a beetle on my leg. ew! I flick it off my leg all while shaking my leg vigorously to get this nasty creature off me. Welp, my foot falls smack down on my accelerator. and....I drove INTO the garage door.  

I fear/dislike bugs a lot!

2. Swimming in oceans and lakes. If those darn Sharks/Alligators/Amebas weren't there I would be all for it. 

This "hometown" beach- New Smyrna Beach, FL. 

I go there all.the.time. But, I haven't gone in the Ocean (past my ankles) since 2004. Want to know why?

Those are SHARKS! This is an aeriel view of NSB, which is now the shark bite capital of the world.

3. Rollercoasters. They scare me. 

4.  I fear never living up to my dreams. I have a picture in my head of how my life is supposed to play out. I just hope that one day I will be able to fulfill all of those goals.



5. I fear I'll be left alone one day. It's been a fear of mine since I was in 10th grade. I thought my mom wouldn't come home, or would leave me places. I'm not too sure where this came from (although, I have an idea) But, I'm just scared that one day I'll be abandoned by everyone.

6. Elevators. I always think that they are just going to stop and I'll be trapped in it for hours. Ever see the movie Devil?

7. Feeling Stupid. I fear sometimes answering questions or participating in discussions at work (sometimes with friends) because I always think that what I have to say only makes sense to me. 

8. I have an irrational fear that my future kids will try and kill me. It's almost a joke to my friends, but these stories stare the crap out of me


Okay, now that you've seen my neurotic side. I'm interested to see what your fears are...
