I love my nails!

I love my nails!

Alright guys, you know what time it is!!!  The Nail Files!!!  I actually stopped by Ulta and took advantage of their $3 sale on their finger nail polish.  Well, I loved it so much I rocked it for about 4 days until it started rocking off my fingernails!  Please leave me a comment!  I love finding new blogs to read!  Sometimes this mommy gets bored during nap time!  Enjoy!!!

Material Girl!  Love this little inexpensive polish from Ulta!  Excuse the cuticles....I need a professional Mani!

This is currently what I'm rocking, since the Material Girl rocked so hard she rocked off!

It's Okay Thursday!

It's totally okay!  I have been having a super busy week and have not had a chance to blog yet.  But, since I love IOT.....I just had to take some time out to finish this blog post!  Enjoy ladies.  Please leave me a comment in the comment section.  I love checking out new blogs and seeing who is visiting me.  Have a wonderful rainy Thursday!!!

It's Okay......

to put a coworker in their place....without snapping at them.

to feel like doing absolutely nothing....b/c rainy weather dictates that I do so.

to get annoyed when people cancel or reschedule, after you broke your neck to be there on time.

to tell your daughter her outfit is special b/c it can only be worn by princesses.  She wasn't into the vest I picked out for her, until she heard this little known fact about it.

to be a little ticked that someone decided it was a good idea to close the Starbucks in my area that had a drive thru.  Who does that?  (Or as the kids I work with say, "where they do that at".  Gotta love kid sayings.  It keeps me hip!)

to not be looking forward to the extra money taken out of my check for taxes this year.

to have a complete IOT full of complaints!

to desperately need my hair done on Saturday.....but still haven't made the appointment.

to use you wonderful people that read my blog to vent to!  (Thank you, ladies)

Sunday Social

My weekend is going super, but I have a nagging feeling it will be too short as usual and I will be dragging on Monday morning.  I had a wonderful time last night catching up w/some old friends.  It's always nice to see old friends that you haven't seen in a while, but often talk to & facebook with.  Any who, where's to a great Sunday Social.  Follow if you like.....I always follow back.  Have a great Sunday!

1. Do you plan to change any of your eating habits in the new year?

Yes, I do plan on changing my eating habits.  I love fried comfort food, but this year I need to get healthy if I plan to expand the family.  I'm not getting any younger, so this go round I definitely have to be in better shape this year. 

2. Any workout tips to get us back in shape after the Holidays?

I found this online & thought it was a neat idea.

The best advice I can give anyone that is going to workout this year, is to take it slow.  I find that w/myself, if I work my way up to a larger more intense workout, I am more likely to stick w/the schedule.  I am awful w/working out @ home, so paying for a membership @ a gym really helps me get out of the house and workout.  I also read that taking a shower before you workout is supposed to help you have a better workout.  Not sure if that is true, but it couldn't hurt!  I also check out a blogger that it definitely in shape.  Briana @ Bikini Body Mommy, for some tips on exercises to do.  She may make you a little pissed off b/c she is a mother of 3 & could definitely wear a bathing suit w/o a coverup.  But....once you get past that, :)  she has some helpful things on the site.  You should really check it out.

3. Favorite thing you did over the Holidays?

The best thing I did over the Holidays was sit in the house with my family.  We were sick over the Holidays and didn't really do much.  Even though we were sitting in the house looking at each other, we still had a lot of fun.  Before everyone got sick, we had fun going to Journey to Bethlehem.  It was a great interactive play that a local church does for free each year.  It is wonderful and the actors are really good.

Waiting in the 1.5 hour line!  This woman behind us was a little excited and kept pushing :-/

After an hour in line, we made it inside for 30 minutes of stories and caroling.

Not sure how many of my readers are in the Oklahoma area, but this interactive journey play was wonderful!!!

4. What is something you hope that you accomplish in 2013 that you did not in 2012?


Well, I am sure some of you know that we are looking to buy our dream home.  I would love to buy our home in 2013 and welcome a new baby home in 2013!

Who knew that looking for a home could be so much work.  This is not one that we are looking at, but sometimes I think.....if I see another house!  I will scream!!

5. Name 3 things happening this year you are excited about and why.

I am definitely excited about some changes happening at work that I think will help me build my resume and become stronger in my field.  I also think that the changes will be more beneficial to the clients that I work with.  I am excited to see what new things Ladybug will be learning because she amazes me everyday.  I am excited about the personal goals that our family has made in 2012 and eager to start working on the personal goals for 2013!  I'm glad to have left other people's drama and my credit card debt in 2012.  2013 is all about building up my family, becoming closer to them, making strong bonds w/friends and getting closer to Christ.  I'm pretty sure that was more than 3, but.....

I welcome you with open arms!!!

What about you?  If you are new, take these questions, answer them & link up w/Neely!  Come join the fun!!!

Saturday Top Five Laughs!

I keep saying how crazy this week has been.  Not only did we have a short week, we are having several changes at work!  Oh, what is a blogger to do.......?  :-)  I'm glad to be here supplying you guys with endless laughs from my little 2 yo Ladybug!  Please leave a friendly comment and follow....I always follow back!  Have a wonderful weekend.

5.  While updating my iphone (finally figured out how) I made sure Ladybug was taken care of with her special shows, something to drink & donuts.  I checked on her and she had eaten one entire donut and sampled 3 other items in the box.

Definitely looks like a little ladybug was in here........Well, at least she didn't make a mess.

4.  While talking about possibly expanding our family, I asked Ladybug what she thought about the idea.  I asked her if she wanted a baby brother or a baby sister.  She informed me that she wanted "a baby brother AND a baby sister".  I sarcastically told her we would have to ask Jesus about that one.  She then starts praying, "Dear Jesus, can we have a baby brother and a baby sister".  Um....what?

3.  Last week Ladybug randomly said.  "Come on lady, be a team player!"  I honestly have no idea where she has gotten this from!!!

2.  Ladybug was excited to go back to school (daycare) after having 2 weeks off.  She was so excited to see all of her friends.  As we pulled up the her school she says, "Yay, Mommy I'm happy.  I missed my friends.  Yes, I love my friends".  That was just so sweet to me.  I love that she has formed bonds w/her friends and the babysitter.

1.  Ladybug is the cleaning police around the house & is quick to tell us when something is "a mess".  I took her to the office yesterday & she proceeded to go in a coworkers office and tell her how messy it was.  She also went into her cousin's room & told him it was a mess.  She also added that his mother had told him to clean it up.  Which wasn't true.  But, when you are 2......you are your own boss!

TGIF

I am so happy that it is Friday!!! This week has been so long and confusing! Friday....I am glad that you are here. I am ready to clean up around the house, kiss on my baby, kiss on my boo, give myself a mani & schedule an appointment to get this hair of mine done! It needs some TLC pronto! I wish you guys the best Friday! I'm off to get some Starbucks! Don't forget to link up w/Tara & don't forget to follow me!

Best top coat ever!!!  Lets the nails dry fast & keeps them from chipping!

I'm so glad it's Friday I'm wearing a borderline inappropriate outfit to work today. 

My little princess wanted her nails done, too.  I'm not sure why she picked this color?  Up Front & Personal OPI

I also used Up Front & Personal OPI & added some red flare with China Glaze Ruby Pumps!

It's Okay Thursday!

It's Okay Thursday!!!

This week is really sneaking by!  I guess it must have been the day off that has me feeling like my days are off!  I kept going around the office yesterday thinking it was Monday!  Those holidays in the middle of the week really throw me off.  I hope you ladies had a wonderful New Years!  Enjoy the read!  I love new followers and friendly comments!  :-)

It's Okay.....

 to be totally pissed off that we may owe in taxes again this year!  Ugh!

to be confused as to where I need to live where $250-$400 thousand is considered middle class.

to want the perfect house to automatically fall into our laps.

to continue to leave my expensive makeup out in reach of my toddler! (but, it does make for great pictures to send to family)

to get a pedicure just for them to scrub me feet, b/c I really think I can paint my toes better than they can.  But my heels really did need some TLC! (and the church said, Amen!)

to not like everyone.  Sometimes less is more.  People don't have time for your drama.....I have my own life...and it is not fb....but reality.

to go into a store 15 minutes before they close.  Don't worry.....I know what I want & where I am going.  You just straighten up your area......

 

    

WFMW: New Year's Resolutions?

WFMW:

Things that we accomplished in 2012.  Well, we paid off all of our credit cards and our automobiles.  That was definitely a blessing!!!!  We are debt free...except for those student loans!  LOL!, but they too shall be gone in time!  We have done well living w/in our means the Dave Ramsey way, but I must admit that at times we could have done better sticking to the budget!  But, we are only human!

For 2013, my husband's goals is to find our dream home.  We have been to plenty of open houses and met a lot of different people that have helped us know what was out there for us, what deals to look for and what to beware of when purchasing a home.  For that...we are both very grateful. 

I did an earlier post regarding what I was looking to do in 2013 as a whole.  But, today I would like to talk about all those unfinished projects I have around the house.  THIS is what I will be doing in 2013.  I think I may finish all those crochet projects I have and donate whatever I make to a charity.  I figure, if I have been w/o it for this long....I don't need it....and I can let someone else enjoy what I am making. 

I found this online & it looks amazingly like a scarf that I started on this Fall.

Okay, I found this online & it is the cutest thing ever!!!  I am so making this....and hopefully finishing it!

The exact legwarmers that I made last year!  I still need to finish them!!!!!



I found this online, but it looks exactly like a quilt/scarf I was trying to make.....I haven't made up my mind what I want it to be.
