My Birthday - A Week Later

Happy Humpday Thursday Cupcakes! I originally started this post on Wednesday but I didn't finish posting it until late last night. Thanks for all your sweet advice on how to stay awake. I actually went to bed at a decent time Tuesday night and I felt pretty good yesterday, but I didn't get anything done last night. That's a whole other project I need to work on. I know that I promised a birthday review and today that's what I'm going to do.

My birthday was fabulous. I was not planning on having a great birthday. My aunt had to have her surgery that day and i was just a hot mess. Not excited about the day but still excited it was my day. I worked in the morning and everybody was super sweet to me. Write that down. My boss let me go home first since it was my day. =) Some people weren't very happy about it but oh well. When I got home my momma and I went to Mini's Valentine Tea Party at her school. She had a meltdown a couple days before because I wasn't going to be able to come so we surprised her and it was fantastic! Unfortunately the tea party sucked because children have no manners and were chewing with their mouths open LOUDLY. I about lost it. I don't care who it is, that sound is fucking nasty. Anyway. Here are my birthday goodies.

A cute mustache scarf

this necklace is from the boy. He did good =)

the candles and the blanket.

I forgot to take pictures of my beautiful journal my auntie got me (she also got me the candles) and Magic Mike. Funny story behind that one...I got the same thing for my mom for Valentine's day. Now we have two copies. Great minds think a like! And I got some $$$. I can't really complain. 

After Mini's tea party we went home and I tried to watch Pitch Perfect. What I saw was really good but when Mini is around watching a movie is impossible. So we got ready for dinner. Mom, Mini, Wife, Boyfriend, and I all went out to dinner at Outback. And it was damn good. This is my Valentine to all of them.

Yes, I took this picture myself and I didn't edit a single thing. I'm super proud of it. And those damn cupcakes were delicious. If you have a local SmallCakes I recommend going there now. 

After Outback three cool kids went out for a drink. Our local watering hole just got this really cool jukebox that also takes pictures. However it doesn't print them =( but I do have it in my phone. 

All in all it was a wonderful birthday. Here's some more pictures. 

Mini all dressed up for her tea party.

we were on our way to get boyfriend and these two passed out in the back seat. 

Mini says that Wife is her best friend.

All of us.

I was sad though because I wanted pictures with each of them and didn't get any. I have to get better at this picture thing! 

Linking up with Natalie.

So Tired.

Hi loves. Hope you had a good weekend. I still have birthday stud to tell you but I'm so tired. I haven't been commenting or doing anything worth anything in blog land. It's taking all I have to not nap right now. How do you stay awake? I need something and coffee is not the answer. Between school work and the mini it's all I can do to not fall asleep as soon as my ass hits the couch. I'm working 8 days in a row... Wahhhh. But that's the price ill pay to go watch Luke Bryan shake it for me this weekend. Any advice on how to wake up?? Please give it to me.

Swap Stuffs!

I participated in two Valentine's Day swaps because well...it's my birthday month and I love swaps. I got a lot of awesome stuff too! The two girls I got hooked me up!

The first swap was hosted by Erin at Love, Fun and Football and Megan at Table For Three. It was the Spread the Love swap. And I got the best goodies! My partner was Ashley from High Heels & Steering Wheels and girl hooked it up! She sent me an awesome package because I mentioned that my birthday was also Valentine's Day.

Not shown are the other loofah and a cute pair of socks! The loofah is in my shower and the socks are in my laundry. They were so cute though. Again, thanks Ash, I loved loved loved my box! Oh, and a tumbler. I forgot about it because it was't with the rest of my stuff. It was actually put up where things go. Hahaha that doesn't happen here!

When I opened the package there was pink confetti/grass in it and it was awesome! She knows how to send a package. 

The second swap I joined was Will You Be My Valentine hosted by the fabulous Kailyn at Sealed With A Kiss and Eryka at abcde. Partners in this swap were secrets. I think secret swaps are the best! I got Abbigale from True Blue Abbi and getting to know this girl was fun! She's so adorable. I sent her some fruit roll ups, lip gloss, some gum because she loves it, and an adorable headband that I almost bought for myself. I didn't take a picture but here's a picture of Abbi with it on!

I got a package from Alacia at Hoodwinked. She sent me a beautiful bracelet and some really pretty tape. My mini took the tape so unfortunately I don't have a picture of it. An example of the tape is on the enevelope she sent me. Look at it! She's so crafty my heart stopped when I opened it. 

I love pink! 

So yeah, I joined some great swaps and I couldn't be happier with what I got. You're probably expecting a birthday review but that will come Monday because I'm tired. Happy weekend cupcakes!

Happy Birthday To...

Happy My Birthday guys! I have to work today. Woof. So I left you in the very capable hands of one of my favorite bloggers Jordan from Musings of a Twenty Something! She has a great surprise in store for you today!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you are expecting to hear a Happy Valentine's Day but today isn't just about love or chocolate or flowers (wait, it can be about chocolate...) because it's the fabulous Chloe's and my birthdays! And obviously that is more important.

When Chloe suggested we guest post for one another because we're birthday twinkies I got really excited! We met through this blogworld we've all grown to love and as we've gotten to know each other better, I've realized we have a lot in common.

Exhibit A:

We both have significant others in our lives who are of a different religion. It's an interesting journey, to say the least, and it was nice being able to vent trade stories regarding this unique circumstance. Obviously, they're both great guys but sometimes it's hard coming from different religious backgrounds. Regardless, we love them and they love us and that is what matters. Meet Blake and Dereck, the men who aren't afraid to call us on our bullshit and actually know how (or at least try really hard) to make us happy.

Exhibit B:

We both hate don't get Taylor Swift aka Tswift aka TSTFUPLZ. Look, #1) she is not a real country singer and #2) her songs get stuck in my head for days on end and it drives me crazy. Her songs are catchy as hell but seriously? She needs to drop the good girl act already because she's dated a plethora of guys over the past few years and then whined about them through her songs. Is this a genius way to become rich? Absolutely! Does it make sense that people still view her as an angel? Hell no. I just don't get it! Also: Dear Grammy People, I don't give a rat's ass about Taylor's reaction to every.single.thing. Please just focus on what's going on up on the stage or at least show us someone else. With Love, Jordan. And Everyone else in the world.

I rest my case.

Exhibit C:

We are both sassy. Fiery. Edgy. Cut through the bullshit, what you see is what you get, take it or leave type women. The first time I really we'd be friends was when she shared her OIL (Over It List) and included some things that I still love: chevron and "cray." (I actually don't think I own anything with chevron... shit. That just makes me even less of a blogger.) BUT we decided we could still be friends because #1 on that list is Taylor Swift and we bonded quickly over that one. We also aren't afraid to get down to the nitty gritty. Sometimes life gets tough and it isn't always rainbows and butterflies. Chloe shared her experience with deciding to see a doctor during a rough time in her life and I shared my experience with anxiety.

We also both really enjoy anything with carbs. This is one we try not to discuss so much because we're too busy trying to forget that little fact and get our asses to work out instead but this is about what we have in common and I know we both share a love for carbs! (Who doesn't really?)

Meeting and befriending Chloe has made me appreciate this blogworld on a different level. When I first started blogging, I never in a million years thought I'd make friends. I did it to write and to create what has basically become an online scrapbook of my life; basically I wanted a larger space than 140 characters. The support and encouragement I've found here has been something else.

Happy birthday Chloe. You are fabulous and I hope you have/had a badass birthday!

P.S. Hope it didn't get too cray.

The Walking Pins

One more day! One more day! Yep, my birthday is tomorrow. Still accepting gifts =). But since it's Wednesday that means it's not my birthday but Pinterest day. Woot woot.

We'll get to the pins in a sec. I need to talk to you about my new current obsession. You might have heard of it. It's called The Walking Dead.

I AM IN LOVE. Not kidding. Yes, I used to be the person that always said they weren't going to watch it. I refused and I hated on it. Now I take it back. See, Sunday boyfriend's dish receiver wasn't working and we had watched all the movies on his laptop so I picked out something to watch. I bought the first season for him on Black Friday fully intending to never watch it. Well I put it in planning on going to bed but that first season sucked me in. And now I'm addicted.

I can't decide if I'd rather marry Rick or Daryl. I love them both. And I would love to punch Shane in the face. We started the second season and thank goodness he cut off that god awful head of hair he had going on. So here we go with some Walking Dead inspired pins!

I could go on and on but I need to wake the man up so that we can finish the second season. And does anybody know where I can watch the first half of the third season. I would love to catch up before Sunday!

My Sweet Valentine

It's Valentine's Week my Birthday week! Yay for me. =) My birthday week also includes the fabulous/not so fabulous holiday of Valentine's Day. Oh...and before we get on to that if you wanna send me some fabulous gifts/cards/whatever be sure to ask for my address ;).

So Valentine's Day brings up love. And I thought today was the perfect day to talk about the boy the man. The main man in my life (besides my wonderful dad and my hunnie's kitty cat!) has been by my side for 3 long wonderful years. Just so you know, it's gonna get gushy up in here.

I was sitting on the couch the other night thinking how much I love him and how far our relationship has come. It sure as hell hasn't been all rainbows, butterflies, and unicorns. We've fought. Fought for our relationship, fought each other, just plain out had some fights about everything. But we've come out stronger through it all.

I love him and he's pretty much smitten with me. He calls me out on my bullshit, when I'm acting like a brat, but he's there when I need him. He lets me cry on his shoulder and hugs me and tells me it will all be ok. And there's happiness. A lot of happiness! We laugh and play like we're teenagers who just fell in love for the first time.He's taught me to have a sense of humor, how to do things that I never thought I would. He's helped me mature. When we met, I was a typical 18 year old. Full of jealousy, irrationalness, drama, etc. And I've learned how to get over it all. It's great! And yeah, I get irritated by his manly habits like leaving the damn socks all over the floor, but I deal with it by leaving my shit on the floor too. No, not really but it would be funny.

Then there's mini. The way he accepts mini as his own makes me feel wonderful. I'm not going to lie, I was super worried about this whole thing. Every mother that dates does. And she wasn't opening up to him for a long time when we first got together. But three years later she adores him and he adores her too. They make my heart feel whole. Our little family. I'm ready for family pictures to be hung up on our walls. But we have to get a place to live first. Woof!

So I'm ready for Valentine's day. I have the most awesome valentine out there.

Sexy Sexy

I've noticed this little blog growing and I want to say hey to all the new faces! I know that most of you have come from the fabulous Mandy's giveaway and I know how much you have to contemplate following a blogger to win a giveaway. I know that I don't necessarily like doing it, so I hope you stay and get to know me! Give me a teensy weensy chance. =)

This weekend I worked. I took Sunday off though. I spent it with mi familia. Well, mainly the boy and the mini. We had a family movie day. And it was wonderful. We watched 50 First Dates, Rock of Ages, and my very very favorite, Titanic. Yeah, it's not a kid's movie but he picked it out. Boyfriend had never seen it and surprised me by downloading it. I ask if we can watch 50 First Dates, look down at my phone and look up because I heard that music...the Titanic music. It's so familiar because well, I've watched it A LOT. It was such a sweet surprise and it made me feel super good. I love surprises! Okay, I know I just got gushy on you and I'm kinda sorry. I just love that man!

Titanic got me started thinking about all my famous husbands crushes. Because hello, have you seen Leo?? HAWTTTT. So today I'm going to go all fan girl and show you my favorite Hollywood boys!

Hello smoldering eyes. Hello handsome. He can give me that piercing look all night if he wants.

Leo

              

                       
                      My first boy crush. Love him. After all, he inspired this post!

Alexander

Aka my Christian Grey. Yes, if 50 Shades ever becomes a movie he's my pick. So sexy.

Yep, I'm on a first name basis with all of them. Who's your current sexy man? 

p.s. I don't know what happened with the layout of this post but every time I picked a picture of Leo everything would get screwy. I know who the blog's favorite sexy man is! Sorry for the messed up part.
