Look At This!

Good Morning Cupcakes! Hope y'all can quickly adjust to going back to the daily grind! And I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend! I missed this spot and thought about you all alot but so much was going on that I just couldn't bear to open my laptop. We have a lot of catching up to do. This post will probably be all over the place.

My Thanksgiving was really good. It was spent with my dad's side of the family and for once we all managed to get a long. See, that's a miracle. We're all outspoken and a little crazy so yeah, good deal for us. I drank some wine (maybe more than I should have) and it was delish! The food was really good. I don't like turkey and this turkey was the most moist flavorful turkey ever! I didn't take any pictures though. Sorry. Thanksgiving night wasn't the best though, my fur-sister had to be put down that night. I feel so sad for my dad and step-mom. Lucy was only 6 years old and she was amazing. There were lots of tears shed when this decision was reached. Until I see her again, I'll be seeing her in my dreams.

Teag and me. I did actually get one picture!

I was also a crazy and went out to Black Friday shop Thursday evening. The fact that it was on Thursday evening irritates me but that's a different post for another day. I took the wife, boyfriend and mi madre. We hightailed it to our local Walmart about 730. Sales started at 8 and I pretty much got what I wanted. I can't complain. Except some guy duped me and handed me the wrong season of TrueBlood. -.- That shit sucks. Boyfriend's crazy ass sat in line for a tv for almost 3 hours. He got it though! Not that we needed a tv. What is it about guys that they don't want something unless it's on sale? We don't need the tv. At all. But it was cheaper than normal so he HAD to have it. Whatever. lol. I looked at my receipt last night and learned that I didn't get some deals like I thought I did. So next year I will be doing more research because I spent way too much money to not get good deals.

Yeah I look like hell. Please excuse mr photo bomber back there!

Now, onto some awesome bloggy business! Awhile ago the awesome Natalie who runs Oh Emm Gee had a mug swap. I got paired with Annie at Annie Mayzing and she sent me the cutest mug!

isn't this cute! She made sure my package was fun to look at.

My adorable mug =)

A cute message on a clover shaped card...she paid attention ;)

and the teas she love that she gave as favors at her wedding

Thank you Miss Annie! And thanks Natalie! It was fun.

Kailyn at Wandering Free  and Jessica at Living My FairyTale decided that they would start a bloggy bookclub. I was super excited when I read about this idea so of course I signed up. We're reading Heart on a Chain. It's interesting. I had wanted to read it before this so again, I was excited. My review will come on December 17! Come link up for the next book =)

I think that's all for today cupcakes! Maybe I'll have an actual post tomorrow. lol. 

I'm Back!

Just wanted to say hello to all you lovely people! I'm back. After what seems like a billion years of being away (only 4 or 5 days but whatever) I'm happy to open this laptop back up. There will be lots of catching up this week so please be sure to come visit!

Love your faces!

Blog Love

I have so much I want to post but because of the holiday I want to keep it light and fluffy Unlike what my stomach is going to be on Thursday...well, fluffy yes, but light, don't think so.

I really couldn't think of anything to post today and I've been up for two hours thinking about it. While being up I've watched CMT all morning. Love my country music. See I don't have a radio in my car (I told you gys it was a pos) So, I'm not up on all the songs that are popular. It makes me sad. However, CMT keeps playing the same damn videos. I'm pretty sure that other songs are popular besides the new Toby Keith song. It's good but come on. If they want to play something on repeat I would love to watch Luke Bryan ask me to stay and kiss tomorrow goodbye with him. I don't mind.

Laawwwdyyy....

Anyway...I decided that I would send out some blog love today! I have a whole bunch of ladies that I love that you should check out.

We'll start with the beautiful birthday girl herself! Stephanie at Bourbon and Glitter is awesome! I adore this girl and all of her awesome weekend adventures. Shit, sometimes they're not even weekend adventures....they happen during the week! Well Go tell Miss Steph happy birthday and go read about her first birthday celebration!

Then we have the fabulous Mandy from Pretty Little Endeavors! This girl is so hilarious. She blends sassy with some fun and she rocks! I can't even put into words how much I enjoy this girl and her blog. Right now I'm featured in a giveaway she's hosting! I'm giving away a $15 to Olive Garden. Go check it out. And read read read on her blog. You won't regret it!

This girl and I have A LOT in common. We didn't realize how much somebody could have in common with other bloggers. Our favorite thing is that we share the same birthday! How fun is that right. Oh, and I forgot to mention that our birthday is Valentine's Day. Yup. Sure is. Jordan at Musings of a Twenty Something is my birthday twin. =) I've really enjoyed getting to know this girl. And she's a hoot. She always has the best food porn on her blog. I'm not sure why the restaurants I go to eat at don't ever look that good but I just live vicariously through her! Love this girl.

This girl and I just got paired up for a cara box together! We've struck up quite a friendship and I really enjoy talking to her. Alexandra from Dear Genevieve is a fellow momma who I can actually agree with. I always see all these blogs about how perfect these women and their relationships/kids are. And while I admire that, I really like to see the nitty gritty from people. And this girl has it all. Plus she shares my love of Luke Bryan. She gets me! lol. 

And these girls are awesome! I love them all. Hopefully they don't think I'm nuts for posting this because I totally didn't ask. Oops. Everybody can use some free advertising though! Check them out and tell them I sent you! 

I Guess I'm Just Old?

I've decided that I must be like 27 trapped in a 21 year-old's body. I mean people always say when you get older you get hangovers thatt you didn't get at 21...I get the worst hangovers of my life now that I'm 21. People lie.


- I like to go to bed early if I can. It's the greatest thing ever. I really do look forward to mornings when I get a lot of sleep the night before.

- I eat dinner at like 530

- I prefer staying in and being unsocial most of the time. Just because I'm tired.

- I get the worst hangovers of my life.

I sound like I"m 73 and bitter. lol.


It's my hangover's fault. I feel like shit. I can't get enough water/redbull/mtdew today. The water just makes me feel a little refreshed for a little while. Mt Dew and Redbll give me a sugar high. Resulting in being extremely tired after they ware off. On top of being tired from partying until 5 this morning.( it's Sunday)  Prewritten post here. Only because if I get it done tonight I don't have to get up early. It's now 1045 pm. I went to sleep at 630 and got up at 1000. (in the morning) Woke up dizzy and queasy. Feeling generally shameful...what did I do last night!?I did this

Hanging out with my favorites and drinking. A LOT. It was a friend's birthday and it was a great time. It just makes me sad that everytime our group of friends goes out to a bar drama always happens. I know it sounds like we're dramatic and some of these people are. I don't go out much....ie no drama for this girl. Nice quiet time at home with the hunnie. =) Until last night. We got involved and some ish and I'm so irritated at me for letting myself. But what can I do now? But the majority of the party was AMAZING! So much fun was had.

But today sucks. I'm hungover. And this is the not the first time. It's like the 354698 this month. Ok, maybe I can be dramatic but it's not the same as above right (nod yes) I'm like a princess dramatic. Anyway back to the too many to count hangovers from this year. Ugh.

Basically I just want to feel like the college aged kid I am when I drink. Is that too much to ask? All full of roses and sunshine and energy? No?? le sigh.

I'm going to bed. Nighty night loves. Have a great Monday. I'm sure mine will be filled with plenty of sleep. YAY!

Letters for Friday

It's been awhile since we've done Friday's Letters soooo why not?

Dear Boyfriend, I don't like the x-box. I love you though so I put up with it. Please find a new toy. lol. Sunday better not be spent attached to that thing. I'll karate chop you. 

Dear Paychecks, Why can't you multiply before you hit my account. I'd like you more than I already do. Pretty pretty please??

Dear Teagan, Girllll...you missed three days of school last week, didn't have school on Monday, missed school today, and you don't have school next week. Jeeeez! It's a good thing it's only preschool.  Oh and I will miss you while you're gone next week. =( Have fun seeing auntie though!

Dear Work, Let's just get through tonight and the double tomorrow. PLEASE take it easy on me. But make it go by fast. I'm off Sunday and I'm ready to relax.

Dear Sunday, I say relax but that isn't going to happen. I've got a lot of homework to catch up on. So please go by rather slowly k! 

Dear Thanksgiving, Ahh you're less than a week away. Come on and get here because I need an excuses to do nothing. Not even blog. Can't wait for you! I get to see my family and munch out! What's better than that? Oh and then you're followed by a day of cheap cheap shopping. Hells yes. 

Dear School, I'm so over you. So over you. Blah. 

Dear Weekend, I wish I could be more excited about you. True story. 

Dear Blog Friends, I love your faces! You guys rock and I love hearing from you. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend full of excitingness that doesn't include working! Kisses!

I couldn't find the friday's letters button. but this takes you there!  I think this is appropriate today. But just remember I do love him and this is a joke!

Thankful Thursday

Hi love nuggets! Yeah, I just called you all that. Hope you don't mind. =) It's time for round 2 of being thankful.

{Day Eight} Thursday November 8 

I'm thankful for all you wonderful people who read this blog. 

It lights my heart up with joy. Seriously. I love it.

{Day Nine} Friday November 9

I'm thankful for my grandparents on my dad's side. Without my G-ma Sharon

I don't know what life would be like. She has been an outstanding person

in my life and I couldn't have gotten this far without her. She has done so much for me and mini me and for that I'm eternally grateful. More than she'll ever know. 

{Day Ten} Saturday November 10

I'm thankful for my grandparents on my momma's side. My G-ma Rose has been a very inspirational woman.

She has done a lot for me, mini me, and my momma. She's the nicest person that I know. Again, I'm eternally grateful to her too. 

{Day Eleven} Sunday November 11 

How about something not as serious...but I'm thankful for my damn iPhone. Yes, maybe that's first world problems again but it's the damn truth. I love that thing. 

{Day Twelve} Monday November 12

As much as I bitch and moan about it...I'm thankful that I'm lucky enough to have a job. There are a lot of people in this world who would love to have a job and I take mine for granted most of the time. I'm thankful that I can support myself and mini me with this job. 

{Day Thirteen} Tuesday November 13 

I'm thankful for boyfriend's family. They took myself and mini me in without any hesitations. They treat us like one of their own and have never once complained. They may get on my nerves but they love us and I'm glad. lol. 

{Day Fourteen} Wednesday November 14

I'm thankful for my friends. Friends are the family that we choose and I believe that I chose some pretty awesome ones. So many memories and good time. I wouldn't change a thing. 

My friend Tiffany over at Life With The Little Man has started a new link party called Thankful Thursday. Y'all should post what you're thankful for and link up with her! It's new this week and let's get as many people on board with it as we possibly can!

Around Here

Around here...Boyfriend broke the remote control. Cue tears. We have Dish Network. So I can't just go buy a new one. Ours won't do anything. He accidentally dropped it in a cup of water while he was sleeping. Nice huh. Sure we can turn the tv on manually buttt we can't watch anything from the DVR and we can't change the channel. Life is grand. -.- I have no idea what to do to get a new one. Argggghhhh. Plus it's not my house and not my name on the bill so I couldn't fix it if I needed to. Cue more tears. I guess I'm going to get a lot of sleeping or homework done. Probably sleep. Hahahaha. First world problems...tell me about it. And because I can't delete anything off of the DVR it's going to stop recording things because it's almost to capacity. -.-

Around here...it's cold. And I don't mean outside. I don't know what the deal is but apparently the cool thing to do is turn your heat off when you leave for work so that the bill doesn't go up. Doesn't constantly changing the temperature in fact increase said bill??? Let's make sure that everybody else that is here during hte say will freeze to death because that's what polite people do. Again...not my house so I'm not going around changing the thermostat. I wish.

Around here...my car is broken again. This time I'm not fixing it. I'm hoping to lease a new one by February. I'm tired of pouring money into a car that isn't worth it. I'm tired of having a car that doesn't run right. I'm tired of being taken advantage of by car salesmen and mechanics. I'm gonna go nuts on the next person that rips me off with a vehicle.

Around here...I just fixed said remote ALL SMILES right now. 

Around here...I'm so sick of being in school. I just want to be done. But I still have three more years. -.- I don't know what I want to do. I just want to be done. I'm tired of it. 16 years of school is getting annoying now. That's over half my life. I just want to snap my fingers and graduate. 

Around here...I like where I work but I'm not fond of my job. It doesn't pay enough. Fo sure. Actually it pays decent but I can't get enough hours to get said good paycheck. They don't have a lot of hours to give out. And I'm tired of working nights. I really want to be home with my little person at night. I feel like I'm missing so much and it sucks. I miss her. I want a normal hour job 8-5 Monday through Friday. 

Around here...I have a whiny dog. I don't really know what her problem is except I'm not laying on the couch with her. I love her and her neediness. lol. I can't imagine life any other way with any other dog =)

Around here...Christmas is on high priority right now. I'm super excited about it. Although I busted the other day and couldn't find a damn things anywhere. It looks like a lot of online shopping is going to be done. Thank you e-bates. Getting paid to shop...don't mind if I do. 

And that's life around here!

I found this hilarious. hahaha.
