How cute!

I seriously love this stuff! So cute!

I think ordering all of these handcrafted goodies make the best gifts. I love checking out Etsy too. So many talented people out there!

I am planning on getting this one for our one year anniversary... if I can wait that long :)

You can even add another charm if you need to later (baby!).

Songs trick me!

You know all those songs where the guy talk about how he likes it when his lady is natural, no make-up, just woke up... blah blah blah.... I seriously don't think that is true because every time I don't wear make up people just ask me if I am sick.

Things that are annoying me lately...

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I can't help it today! Things are getting on my nerves. Maybe it will be better once it's out in the open :)

• Driving to work in the morning when the weather is bad. It takes about an hour or more lately! It's only 14 miles... wtf!
• The ol' bait and switch- tell me we are going out and then decide to make us stay in!
• Having plans be forgotten
• Having to workout alone everytime... This is going to force me to get a Wii fit.
• Not having 'quality' time. It doesn't matter if we hang out if it just sucks the whole time.
• Staying awake at night being annoyed and but feeling too lazy to get up and go downstairs.
• Watching 3 movies in one day!! 'Nick & Nora's', 'Catch me if you Can', and 'Sunshine Cleaning.' All very good but I wish I was doing something more productive!
• Having people not listen or pressure me into their way of thinking- if I saw we didn't like something, we didn't like it! No way around it, not changing my mind!!
• When you order food and you don't like it... you still have to pay for it!
• There is one person who insists on trying to make me something other than what I am. Just see me already.... good lord it's getting crazy!

This is a good start... I am just trying to not let it get to me. Some of these problems are bigger than others. I will just focus on those.

Adventures in Fostering!

Our first foster dog, Pepper, has just been adopted! They are picking him up on Saturday. Very exciting for him! I thought it wasn't going to happen after Pepper humped the man that came to see him!! Omg... Keep it cool Pep.

He is a great dog but I think we have decided that two dogs is too many for our house. I know I will do it again but I think I need a month off. The worst part is that we only had Pepper for a week! Sometimes you may have a foster dog for 3 months!! I would be pickier about who we fostered next time. I may even just want a tiny puppy if we did it again but then they might pee all over and chew everything :)

Millie loved Pepper at first but then for the last few days she just seems too worn out to even do anything! This whole thing made me realize how well behaved and well trained she really is. She is a great dog!

So farewell Pepito! Best of luck to you and your new family. Stop jumping on people!!

Things I've Been Praying about Lately...

• Being thankful for my great husband
• For my sister to do well in school and in life
• Charlie to get a get new job soon
• Understanding my friends better and them understanding me better
• Career path... give me direction
• Better relationships with certain people who totally don't seem to get me
• Improved hearing for my mom
• The ability to be more easy going and not letting things effect me so much!

"Who Says"

"Who says I can’t be free?
From all of the things that I used to be
Re-write my history
Who says I can’t be free?"

Thoughts for Today!

Where are they Now?!?
Remember when Gretchen Wilson said "I'm Here for the Party!"? Well, that was a short party, where the heck is she now? Didn't you think she would have had a longer career?
What about Lauren Hill? I know there has been talk about this in the past but I am just wondering again now. She was amazingly talented!

On a different note, have you noticed that making something an acronym or giving it a nickname makes it cooler? One example that just did work is "SSL" or Sesame Street Live. Still not cool....

We have a new dog coming to live with us soon! (We are now dog foster parents). I am nervous but very excited to meet this new guy. I hope he gets along well with Millie. But I seriously had forgotten about potty training, crate training, chewing.... Hopefully Millie will be a good example and things will be great!

Life Lessons

Life's most decadent pleasures are even better when you use a coupon!

It's 2010

It's 2010 and now I have a blog.
I always have lots of thoughts and ideas and I might as well put them down somewhere!

So far these are my thoughts in 2010:
- I wish my birthday was further away from NYE (Jan 3rd)
- I am tired of being the party planner but I am worried if I don't plan then I won't do anything!
- I am waiting for Lady Antebellum to call and invite me to join since my voice blends seamlessly with their harmonies.
- I want to be a foster parent to a dog! I am working on that one.

Things I learned from 2009:
- It is ok to relax.
- I pretty much have to work out or I am meaner than normal, doesn't mean I like it.
- A think a change would do me good!
- I love my husband more everyday.
- After planning a wedding I have decided they are overrated.
- Families are hard to deal with at times and I should stop trying to understand why they do/say what they do!
