Thankful Thursday.

I'm joining Liz this week for Thankful Thursday.

This week, I am thankful for a few things:

The amazing weather we will be having for the next 5 days!

Hello Spring and gorgeous sunshine!

You make me smileee :-D

Next, I'm thankful that M will be coming home this weekend.

I haven't seen him since 2 weekends ago because this past weekend

I had A LOT of things to get done so I couldn't go to his school.

Last, I'm thankful for it being Thursday! haha.

One day closer to the work week being over and the weekend beginning!

This weekend should be fun because Friday M & I will be going out for dinner & drinks then coming back to my house to hang & and maybe watch a movie.

On Saturday, M & I are going to run errands then head to the gym.

Then at night, I think we're going to play putt putt with my brother & his gf.

Possibly dying eggs after that because it's an Easter tradition!

Sunday is Easter! I'll be going to M's, my grandmother's for my mom's side of the family, and then to my dad's. Busy weekend! And of course, miss Snuggles will be joining us for the Easter festivities :)

If I don't post from now until possibly Monday, please forgive me!

It will be beautiful out so I don't want to spend too much time on the comp.

Hopefully I'll find some time to read and comment though.

P.S - Thanks to all of the wonderful ladies who commented on my last post! It was great to find who has been reading my blog and meet some new friends! I'm also thankful for you bloggy friends! You're all amazing :-)

And one more thing - Happy April Fools Day!

Luckily I haven't gotten any jokes played on me yet ;-)

Sorry for the crazy long post!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Hi! I've noticed that I've had quite a few new followers friends!

Seeing this makes me happy but one thing does make me sad.

These new friends haven't left a comment or introduced themselves.

So we're going to play a fun little game!

(I'm crossing my fingers that you'll join in!)

I would be so happy if everyone who reads this post would

leave a comment with their name and one fun fact about them!

It can be something interesting about your home town,

your favorite food or place to shop. ANYTHING.
I just want to know who's reading my blog.

And if you know that I know who you are, play along anyway!

It never hurts to refresh my memory :-) lol

Thank you ladies so so much!
I can't wait to read all of the comments and

hopefully reply back to them.

As always, I appreciate you following my blog!

Hope you stick around for many more posts!

Top 2 Tuesday

This week's top 2 is:

2 Random Facts About Yourself.

1. I have two freckles on the inside of my right palm. I don't know many people who freckles on the inside of their palms, except for my brother, M, and my friend C. If you do have one, let me know :-)

2. I have went to Ocean City, MD every year during the summer since I was 2 years old. Even if I didn't go with family, I still went with friends. If I were to miss going one year, my summer would feel incomplete. It's almost a 2nd home to me. It's conveinent too because it's only 3 hours away.

What are 2 random things about you?

Head over to Taylor's blog and join in on the fun!

Don't forget to link up :-)

Mondays can be Fundays.

So what if it decided to be rainy and cold on this Monday.

So what if I only got 4 hours of sleep because I had achy legs from running.

So what if I had to be at work at 8 this morning which resulted in sitting in stopped traffic for over 20 mintues b/c people can't drive when it's raining.

I turned this crappy day into a happy day :-) After work, that is.

I decided to treat myself to a little pampering

instead of going to the gym. I needed a rest day.

A simple but classy manicure

Freshly painted toes :-)

If you're wondering why my feet look MUCH whiter than

my hand, it's because I took the pics in different lighting and

used a flash for my feet but not my hand lol it looks strange!

It was so relaxing to have someone showering my

little toesies some love. I know they've felt neglected

since it's been over 3 weeks since my last pedicure!

How do you pamper yourself?

Do you enjoy manicures/pedicures?

Did you have a good Monday?

Well would you look at that . . .

I have a button!

And guess what?

I made it all by myself!

I'm so proud :-) lol

Feel free to go to my sidebar and grab it!

If you grab it and add it to your blog,

let me know and I will be sure to add

your button to my side bar!

It's Sunday.. so you know what that means..

It's time to learn more about me with another edition of

Getting to Know You Sundayyy! Head over to Keely's blog

and join in on the fun!

The Questions . . .

1 - Why did you start blogging?

This is actually a strange reason.. I was googling something one day and came across a blog and then started looking at more blogs, and I was hooked. I wanted one of my own to document things and it just seemed interesting and fun. I'm so glad I started though because I have "met" so many amazing people!

2 - Who's the one blog friend that you would want to meet most in "real life"?

Honestly, I would love to meet all of you! You ladies are some of the most incredible, down to earth people I've ever talked to. Everyone is so encouraging and doesn't pass judgment. And there's always atleast one person who can relate to you. Don't forget that!
But if I HAD to chose, I would probably choose these 2 ladies:
Liz because she just gets me and helped me through a pretty confusing time; plus, she's such a positive person!
Allison because we've talked about it, she seems super fun to hang out with and plus we could workout together haha.
And of course.. mrs. Kelsey Claire, only so I can indulge in an alcoholic beverage, or 2, with her while sitting on a patio in TX and act way younger then we are :-)
Gosh, I really would like to meet so many more!

3 - Why are you always concerned with losing that "extra 10 pounds" when chances are your husband/boyfriend/friends tell you that you look just fine the way you are?

I don't lose weight for any man or anyone in my life except myself. It has to do with my self confidence and how I feel about myself. I chose not to associate myself with people who pass harsh judgments like that.

4 - What's the one thing you wish guys could understand about you?

Hmm, I think I'm a pretty straight forward girl so I don't think there is anything. I tell how I feel and what I want so I'm not too hard to figure out.

5 - Tattoos. How many do you have and how many are visible when you wear your "everyday" clothes?

I don't have any tattoos. I do want one though. I would probably get Snuggles paw print. She's my child :-)

6 - What was the best year of your life and why?

Very tough question because every year has something great that happened in it. But I guess I'll choose 2005 because it was the first year I was out of high school, 18 years old, and I can say it was one of the funnest years I can remember having.

7 - Name three things you would do if you were a man for one day.

Eat WHATEVER I wanted without having to worry how many calories I consumed, sit with my hands down my pants (cause that's what they do), and have selective hearing.

8 - What's your alcoholic drink of choice that usually raises a few eyebrows?

I wouldn't say it raises eye brows but my favorite drinks are Sangria and a cold beer :-)

And now I leave you with this furball of cuteness:

Don't mind her hair - She's going to the groomer soon!

Random Friday

Hi blog friends! Happy Friday to you :-)

Today, the little girl I nanny for wanted to make cupcakes. Now I do not consider myself a baker by any means. I can make great brownies and bake the cake (thanks to the directions on the back of the box), but when it comes to icing anything, I'm TERRIBLE. Thank goodness she only wanted to icing 6 of the cupcakes lol. Here's the final product. Please don't be harsh :-( I'm learning! My skills are no where near those of Kelly's. (She can decorate a cake or cookie like nobody I know! I'm jealous of your skills miss!)

Regardless of the way they look, they were delicious! I let her put the sprinkles on them so that's why some have way more then others lol. And we had fun baking them so that's all that matters. I love my job :-)

Speaking of nannies, did you hear about the incredible 22 yr old nanny who saved the 5 yr old boy from the burning house? Talk about being a hero. The little boy was not hurt but the nanny did suffer burns. Read the article here.

Tonight, I'm having a "me" night. A night where I relax, worry about nothing, watch a movie and just enjoy time by myself. I enjoy these nights. During the week I'm at work with two crazy, but wonderful little girls, school, and I feel like I'm missing quiet right now lol. The bf is at school and since I work again tomorrow night, I couldn't go see him this weekend. It's the perfect night for a "me" night. Plus, the weather is crappy right now. Cold (45* and rainy).

(pic found here)

atleast tonight anyway!

 

Do you enjoy "me" time? If so, what do you during that time? Or how do you relax in general? Any fun plans for the weekend?
