This weekend my brother was home. He lives about 2.5 hours away, not that bad of a drive. My sister and her kids (my niece, age 6, and my nephew, age 8) came over on Sunday for dinner and to hang out. They live about 3 minutes away. I LOVE my family. We have a lot of fun with each other and we always make each other laugh.
We had a nice family dinner with ham, potato salad, biscuits, and a green salad. It was really good. The only thing was we ate pretty early so I was hungry later in the night. I don't not like eating dinner so early because I will always end up eating something later....

A Good Day to Stay Indoors
Today is a good day to stay indoors but I went outside anyways.
I decided to take a run around the neighborhood. I usually run on the treadmill but since my brother is home and the treadmill is in his room I can't use it and I really needed to run after everything I ate yesterday. We had dinner from my favorite Mexican restaurant. Plus my sister brought home this strawberry boston creme pie cake. Yummy! Needless to stay I needed to work that off.
I got a couple of packages in the mail yesterday. The first package was the Havaianas I won in the giveaway held by Ally over at Medical...

Can't Hardly Wait
The title of this post is my current mood and also is one of my favorite movies. I love this movie. Its so funny with all the different characters. But I digress. There are a few things I can't wait for:
1. Tonight's Real Housewives of BH reunion. This has been one of my favorite seasons of RH ever. The reunion seems like its going to be good.
2. Spending some time tomorrow with my mom. She has been super busy lately and I've been missing her so I'm glad we will get to have some quality one on one time.
3. My big brother is coming home tomorrow. He will only be home for the weekend...

WILW - Last Wednesday of January!
Its Wednesday so that means its time for What I'm Loving Wednesday.
I'm loving that the Green Bay Packers made it to the Super Bowl! I would have loved it more if the New York Jets made it too but I will settle with the Packers. I'm hoping they have a good game against the Steelers and win! Its great that each team has an ex-USC defensive superstar but I am going to have to choose Green Bay and Clay Mattews over Pittsburgh and Troy Polamalu.
I'm loving the Country Megaticket. The megaticket is like a season pass for 6 country concerts at this particular venue. Its pretty expensive but...

Nautical Style
Springtime is just around the corner and its the perfect time for nautical style!
I recently got a few pieces from L.L. Bean that I just love.
This chino skirt is so cute! Its navy with gold anchors on it. I love it. I can't wait to wear it when it warms up.
I also got this striped shirt. Its so comfy! I plan on wearing it with khakis or a khaki skirt.
I don't usually shop there but Forever 21 has these two cute dresses.
One of my favorite stores on Etsy is Barberry and Lace. I found this cute anchor necklace there.
Another one of my favorite Etsy store's is Two Poodle Press. Their designs...

On a Mission to Shop
Friday's here... time for the weekend!
I had some errands to do today which included going to a few stores. Of course I put off doing the boring things like get my car washed and pick up my dry cleaning and went straight to the shopping.
I had planned on going to 6 stores. That may seem like a lot but they aren't that far away from each other. I only made it to 4 before I started to get tired. One of the main purposes I was going shopping was because I wanted buy the things I am going to send in this fun Valentine exchange I'm doing.
Liv from Simply Sunshine and Daisys coordinated...

What I'm Loving Wednesday!
I linked up with with Jamie @ This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!
1. I'm loving Sunshine! It has been so overcast/foggy the past few days here I am so happy to see the sun out even though its still cold out.
2. I'm loving Shari's Berries! The catalog came in the mail today and featured all the yummy treats for Valentine's Day. I think chocolate covered strawberries are the perfect treat for the day. You can't go wrong with them.
3. I'm loving Living Social! Their deal of the day is a $20 Amazon gift card for $10. That's such a great deal, I have some...

Rollerballs
As I was getting ready for church this morning, one of the last things I put on was my perfume. Its usually the last thing I put on when I go out. I normally wear it unless I know I will be somewhere in close quarters like an airplane or on a job interview because not everybody may not like my fragrance and I don't want to make anybody uncomfortable. Imagine sitting next to somebody for 5 hours on an airplane that smells unpleasant.
My favorite type of perfume comes in rollerballs. It allows me to buy several different scents so I can have a few to wear depending on my mood. Sephora always...

Valentine's Day
Even though it's a month away and I don't have anybody to share it with (besides friends) there is just too much cute Valentine's Day related items I had to share.
These Valentine's card are so adorable and are so me. I found there here.
These treat bags and stickers would be perfect for handing out at work or to friends at school. I'm not sure what I would fill them with since I don't like conversation hearts. Maybe pink and red M & M's? These come from the same Etsy seller TwoPoodlePress.
What is Valentine's Day without the appropriate sweets? You can always whip up a batch of cupcakes...

Wee Bit Wednesday
I stumbled on this while reading different blogs and I thought it would be a fun thing to do.
{one} Have you ever been on tv?
Not that I know of. I know I have been on the big screen at football games.
{two} What was the best movie you saw last year?
Inception, I love Leo. I would also add Shutter Island. Both of those movies made me really think.
{three} Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I don't sleep with sheets too often but if I do it has to be tucked out. I toss and turn a lot so I need them to be tucked out or I can't move.
{four} Do you cut coupons?
Rarely....

Job Search!
Background info on me: I quit my job in August and I have been unemployed since then. It was completly my choice to quit my job. I haven't really looked for a job in the past few months because it was so nice to just not do anything however the time has come for me to get up and get going on the job search. I quit my previous job for a variety of reasons. A few of those reasons were: I didn't like the commute, I didn't like how things were run at that company, I never felt secure and there were many occasions were I felt so run down and defeated by working there. I feel it was necessary for...

Wedding Movies
I had a $30 gift card for one of the best stores ever TARGET! :) So I headed there today to see what I could get me hands on. I decided I would buy either some movies or books.
The first stop in the store was the dollar bins. I can do some serious damage there. Of course they put out the cutest items in the $1 bin for Valentine's Day. I got these adorable magnetic notes and these super cute little gift boxes with a kinda of damask pattern on them. I'll have to find something to use them for.
I made my way over to the movie/book area. I picked up the Bride Wars DVD and the book Pretty...

Resolut...GOALS!
The new year is here and everybody has been putting out their resolutions. I'm not into resolutions, I prefer goals. I feel like goals are more attainable because if you set a goal for yourself you want to work towards it. I feel the goals I have set for myself are pretty simple. Also if I want to surpass the goals I have set for myself than that's great. So without further delay here are my goals:
1. Read more. Specifically my goal is to read 1 book a month. To some this may seem like a super easy goal but I hardly read. So I want to get into reading more. I've already started reading Last...

New to this...
This is not my first blog but rather the first blog I am taking seriously. I'm new to blogging in the sense that I have never been too into designing the layout and putting up fun pictures, etc. up. So this is my attempt at a fun blog. It doesn't really have a theme and it won't focus on one subject because that is actually who I am. I have many different interests and loves so it only seems appropriate that I discuss multiple things on my blog. Until next time...
