Exciting Stuff

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. I love getting scared and I hate being scared. And now that I'm a grown up, Halloween revolves around being scared. And the decor...um yes. I love pumpkins. I wish they could be used every season. But then, they wouldn't be special.

So it's not surprise that I joined Swapoween hosted by the lovely ladies at Chaotic Goddess Swaps. I can't wait to start shopping! 

Go signup. There's still time!

Happy shopping!

Backin My Azz Up With Blake Shelton

Happy Friday cucpakes! I have this whole weekend off and I'm gonna enjoy every second of it.

Tonight I'm gonna go see Blake Shelton and I'm super pumped about it. So I figured for #backthatazzup Friday I'd give you some good Blake Shelton songs that I hope he'll play. 

First there's Ol' Red. I love this song. And I loved it before I knew it was Blake. It's just a damn good country song. If he doesn't sing this I'll be sad. 

Of course I have to hear my current favorite, Mine Would Be You. Seeing as how it's on the new cd it will probably be sung. It's just a beautiful song. 

Sure Be Cool If You Did is a great song. I was obsessed with it when it came out. I like to pretend that he's talking to me when we're in a bar together. I pretend a lot to music. It's my thing. 

And because no Blake Shelton party is complete without him rapping, how about some Boys 'Round Here. It's a great party song. And I love singing the redneck part. When I'm at work and we run out of bread we're supposed to yell to the back and I always yell bread in tune to red red red red redneck. The people I work with love me. 

Drink On It is another one of my favorites. And we all know I love to drink at concerts so I plan on drinking to it. =) 

Feel Your Boobies

Ahhhh that's the sound of me relaxing for the next four days. I was about done with Olive Garden. It's nice to get a way for a couple of days.

As you all know, it's October. October is also breast cancer awareness month. Obviously this means a lot to me because of my Auntie. It's amazing how you think something only happens to other people and then bam, you're getting the news that somebody you love has it. Breast cancer is not prejudice. It can affect anybody at any time.

So please, do me a favor. It's more of a favor for yourself but it will mean a lot to me as well. Check your boobies! I don't care if you do it yourself or if you have a doctor do it. Just make sure it's done.

Someday we will fight the terrible disease that we know as cancer. I believe that this can happen in our lifetime.

Favorite Color Swap

I love swaps so when I saw this one, I knew I was in. This swap was hosted by the lovely ladies over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps. They have a Halloween Swap signup going on right now. I'm gonna sign up and you should too!

I was partnered up with Kelsey from Running With My Tiara On. She lives overseas in Germany. This was my first time ever sending something over seas and it was quite the experience! It was fun though. She sent me an awesome package filled with some awesome stuff! 

Woman Crush Wednesday

Oh my gawwwww. I'm worn the fuck out. I'm so glad it's Wednesday and tomorrow my nice 5 day vacay starts. I've worked a week straight because I'm taking the weekend off. And 4 of those days have been doubles. My body hurts.

Anyway...I wanna tell you about my woman crush today. I have a massive lady boner for none other than ....

Miranda Lambert

That woman is just absolutely gorgeous. I mean of course she is but there are other reasons I chose her for my woman crush today. 

Let's start with the fact that she is a dog lover. And she rescues them because she can! I love animals and if I could rescue all the things I would. Last I read she had like 5 dogs or something like that. Her love for animals is just the cherry on top. It's what made me really love her. She spends her time volunteering at events that humane societies are hosting for people to adopt animals. All together now "Ahhhhh." 

This video is super cute. A little girl invited her to an adoption event and she went just for her. Watch it.

She's got an attitude. Girl doesn't put up with shit. And I like that in a woman. It's easier for me to be friends with people with girls who don't put up with shit. And I love that her attitude is show cased in her music. How many other female country stars would sing about beating their exes with a gun? I just love it!

Her relationship with Blake Shelton is amazing. They both gush about how much they love each other and I think it's so cute. I know that maybe their relationship didn't start in the best of ways but they do love each other. And she puts up with his BS. People with the initials BS really spew a lot of bullshit. I mean that in thewmost loving way possible. Blake and my dad's initials are both BS and they'll pull you for a loop if you let them. You gotta be on your toes with these people. =)

When I'm famous, she'll def be the first person I ask to hang out with. And we can drink beer and go shopping together. The boys can sit at home and drink beer and think of things to give us shit about. 

The Wonderful World of October

Do you feel that? Feel what you ask, well you guys it's finally October! This is my favorite month of the year. I looooove it. I was in such a funk this last week and couldn't figure out why. Then I realized that I was really in need of October to be here. I love my birthday because I share it with Jordan and I get a holiday, I mean how fucking cool, but if I had to choose my own birthday it would definitely be in October. It's just the best. It makes me so super mega ultra happy.

This month I have a lot going on. I figure I'd fill you in on why I just love October so much. I'm a little overwhelmed just thinking about it all but I'm still super pumped!

- I have not just one, but three concerts coming up this month!! Eeeeep. This weekend I'm gonna go see Blake Shelton with my aunt and miss Kyla who went with us to see Kenny in May. I'm more than ready for some debauchery and craziness. Who knows what will happen when we're all together. Then I'm gonna go see Florida Georgia Line and Keith Urban. Both of those shows are in the same week!

- It's Maple Leaf month. I know I've talked about Maple Leaf before, it's just so fun. There's a whole week of shenanigans to go to, some things I wanna try and get to are the lip sync competition, a couple of wine tastings at our local liquor stores, and of course the parade! The morning of the parade the fire department hosts a pancake feed and I haven't been in forever. Friday night before the parade our one and only local watering hole somehow manages to fit the whole town in the bar and it's a wild and crazy party. I haven't been but I want to go this year. 

- My daddy, littlest sister, and uncle's birthdays are all this month. I really want to get together with them and have a great dinner and just a good time. 

- It's gonna start getting cold! I already pulled out my new boots because hello, it's October. I love the crisp air against my face and layering my clothes. What's better than leggings and boots! 

- I'm gonna start using my crockpot again. I love my crockpot I just don't think that there's anything I can make in the warmer months. I want to use it once a week for sure. Know of any good crock pot recipes? Let me know!

- And uh...ya know Halloween!! It's one of my favorite holidays. I just love it. My daughter obviously got this from me because all year long she talks about what she wants to be. I'm not even kidding. Halloween talk at our house goes on for a while. She's already planning what she wants to be next year. It might be a problem. Blake and I are going to a Halloween pub crawl in Springfield. I'm not buying a new costume because I can just wear my one from last year again. Because it's the fucking bomb!

- It's time to start thinking about Christmas presents! I know what I want to get mi familia and I need to start working on them. If I keep procrastinating then I won't be able to do it. Ahhhh. 

So bring it on October, I'm ready for you!! Are you pumped for October?

Eric Northman Marry Me

So I have an addiction to True Blood. Not in the I'm a vampire and need to drink it kind of way, but I can't get enough of that show. I started watching it about 2 years ago when I found the first season at Walmart for $12 on Black Friday. I only got to watch more seasons when Black Friday rolled around and I could afford the next season. Which honestly, sucked. So when Blake decided that he was gonna get a good internet that didn't give us a shitty download allowance, I knew that I'd have to get Netflix to watch it. Little did I know that True Blood wasn't on Netflix. Btdubs, there isn't a lot on Netflix. I don't know if I like it or not. Anyway...I almost gave up when I remembered my dearest daddy has HBO. And then I asked for his HBO Go password a couple of weeks ago and I just can't stop watching. Last night I stayed up way to late watching it. I'm in the middle of season 5 and season 6 is the one that was just on. I'll obviously be caught up come next summer so that I can watch the last and final season with the rest of the world. And I'm sad that it's the last season.

Hands down my favorite character is Eric. He's smoking hot and he's a bad ass. What the hell else do you need? Well, I'll tell you what else is so damn special about him. There might be some spoilers. Sorry.

1. He's fucking sexy. I know I mentioned that already but god. If Eric Northman was a real person he would be the hottest man on earth. True story. What's not to love. Well, his long hair isn't to love. I was devastated when he cut it off but damn he looks so much better now.

2. He's extremely loyal to his maker Godric. I'm pretty sure that Eric loved Godric more than anybody loves anybody else on this show. He was willing to die the true death for Godric and it was heart wrenching. I cried. Just watching these gifs makes me sad again. Poor Eric.

3. Once up on a time, a witch cast some kind of spell on Eric. And it was the best couple of episodes of True Blood ever. He lost his memory of who he was prior to that event and became such a sweet, caring vampire. It was completely opposite of who he really is. The relationship between him and Sookie was finally happening and I couldn't have been happier. It was wonderful. Probably my favorite part of the whole show.

4. He's awesome in bed. That's all.

5. This one isn't about just him. His relationship with Pam, his progeny, is beautiful. They love the shit out of each other but treat each other like shit more often than not. In the beginning Pam was more his right hand woman than she is now but they're relationship is incredible. When he released her I cried like a little girl. It made me so upset for both of them. Blake laughed at me. Rude. All along I've been conflicted on whether I want him with Sookie or if I want him to love Pam.

When he released her from his makership.

6. He's a cocky bad ass. Eric knows that he's hot. He also knows that he's thousands of years old and has all this wisdom. And you can see it in his face. He doesn't even have to say anything, you just know.
