(Not) Wordless Wednesday


Today is my 3 year anniversary. That's right. It's been a wonderous and fantabulous 3 full years of marital bliss. And to be honest, I couldn't be happier. My husband puts up with a lot of shit from me. He doesn't deserve it and I don't deserve him. But God Almighty I will thank the Lord everyday for giving him to me b/c he makes me so happy. (And I'm greedy like that).
He is a man who I can be myself around. My nerdy, dorky, quirky, dirty, immature self. Someone who knows the good, the bad and the ugly about me. And for some unfathomable reason, he still loves me. I couldn't have asked for a better man. How I deserve to have someone like him is still beyond me.
So I wanted to take this moment to tell my wonderful husband that the past 3 years have been amazing. You make my life so much better. You actually make me look forward to growing older since I know I get to enjoy our lives together and I look forward to what our future will bring us. You truly are my better half! I love you with all that I am!

And you're super hot.

Now let's go back to Key West!

**Today is also they Tyma's anniversary! Happy Anniversary Melissa and Peter! Love you both!

Weekly Want-it's: Rockstar Edition

Last week I asked you all to send me a linky dink to an item (or items) you are currently lusting over and you all did not disappoint! As if I wasn’t drooling over enough items already I now have several more on my wish list! But alas, Christmastime is near us, so maybe the hubberoo will take note and use this as my wish list??? *coughcoughhinthint*

P has this dreamy sequined dress on her mind and why wouldn’t she? It’s absolutely stunning!

The fabulous Miss Gabby is adoring this snow queen dress. She would definitely look like a queen in that number. Maybe a purchase for the holiday parties that are coming up??? It's gorg!
Lucky CarrieBeth already owns this goodie! And you can too! If you can still find it in stock at Target that is. No wonder it’s hard to find, it’s awesome!

Drollgirl’s a greedy lil biatch (but so am I!) and who can blame her! She’ll take one of each of these lil goodies (and I would too!) –
DVF Stephanie Slouchy Hobo
Valentino Maison Studded Tote
Valentino Ever Bow Handbag Another Fish In The Sea is coveting this leather jacket even if it is a bit pricey. And if I had an extra $900 I would totally be buying it. It’s total badass. Alas, I do not have an extra $900. Damn the man!

Moog wants Jessica Alba. This doesn’t surprise me in the least. But then again, who doesn’t want Jessica Alba. I’d take her, she’s hot and I’m not even gay.

Hanako is craving this Marc Jacobs sweater. And I could totally see her rocking this bad boy! She's a doll and would make this into the most completely perfect outfit. I can already picture it! So cute! Rachel McPhillips loves these boots but unfortunately she says they will never be hers. I feel for you Rachel, I do. I would totally love to own those boots as well. Alas, they will never be mine either. So we're in the same sad boat there! But we can dream!

And for one of my own: This Elie Tahari dress would be great for upcoming holiday parties. Rock it!

Thanks to everyone who participated! This was fun! I'll definitely be doing this again in the future so if you didn't get me something you are currently drooling over, do not fret. You'll get your chance!

Luvs~

I Laid My Very Own Chocolate Mud Baby

I've been tagged by Singlegrrrl to do my own questionarre! Yes, that's right, she's BACK to blogging! Yippee!

The rules are simple:
  • Answer the questions
  • Replace any questions you do not like with one of your own
  • Add one more question
  • Tag 8 people to continue this on

Settle in b/c it's gonna be a long ride. Here goes:

What is the thing that makes you happy?

Lots of things make me happy. My husband, my dog, my family and friends, a sunny and warm day, flowers, the smell of spring, a pina colada on the beach, holidays, toilet humor, caffeine, shopping, love, little puppies and bunnies and kitten mittens... The list could go on and on.

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee most definitely. Especially with a little flavored creamer. French vanilla or something along those lines and I'm a happy camper. So theres another to add to the above list!

What's for dinner?

Well, it depends on if I'm eating alone or if the hubs is with me. If I'm eating alone it is usually something easy and fast. I'm like a scavenger in the kitchen. Cereal, frozen nuggets, lunch meat sandwich, chips, popcorn, string cheese... you know, that kind of healthy stuff. If it's with the hubs it's usually better like some sort of casserole, BBQ, spaghetti, breakfast for dinner, pizza, enchiladas or mac and cheese. Yeah, we're super healthy like that.

What was the last thing you bought?

Boring stuff at Target. Nothing exciting unfortunately.

What are you listening to right now?

90210. Yeah, I watch mature TV shows. So what?

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

This is a hard one but I have to go with jeans. Any of them. I love jeans. If I could wear them everywhere I would. But then again I also love wearing skirts and dresses and dressing up every now and then b/c it makes me feel pretty. But jeans are so easy. EVERYTHING goes with them.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Cookies and Cream. Hands down. Especially when I get a bite with a big oreo in it. Yummmm...

What do you think of the person who tagged you?

I think she's rad and love getting to know her better. And now that she is moving HERE I can't wait! We can actually get drinks!!!

If I could go anywhere in the world for the next hour where would I go?

Australia. I've never been there and would love to go! Although an hour would probably just make me wish I could stay longer...

Which language do you want to learn?

French. Ever since we went there in July I've wanted to learn it. But I procrastinate and probably never will.

If you had $100 now what would you spend it on?

Shoes. Definitely shoes. I have a serious addiction.

Describe your style.

Well, like I said earlier I'm a jeans lover. I also love classic pieces tied with trendy items. Most of what I wear is simple. I wear a lot of black and grey b/c it goes with everything. And I love scarfs and statement necklaces.

What are you going to do after this?

I'm going to bed. I know you are reading this and it's in the morning but really as I'm typing this it's almost 11 pm. I'm going to go cuddle the hubs b/c he just got back from Cali!

What are your favorite movies?

Ugh. I hate this question b/c I can never think of them. So... Your mom. :)

What inspires you?

You guys! All the people who read this and comment and all the blogs I read. And Wade. He makes me want to better myself. And music and art and fashion!

What is your favorite fruit?

Strawberries! Num num num!

Do you collect anything?

Purses and shoes. Like I said, I have a serious addiction/problem.

How many hours do you sleep a day?

I usually go to bed around 11:30-12 and wake up around 7, so close to 7 hours. Not too bad. I love to sleep.

How many times do you press the snooze button before you get up?

Once. Any more than that and I would just keep snoozing so I have to limit myself to one! You don't want to have too much of a good thing, right? Ha!

What is your favorite smell?

The ocean.

What is your biggest regret?

Live life with no regrets! I think everything happens for a reason. I do think there were small moments where I could have handled myself better in the past, however I choose not to dwell on them and instead to learn from them. Therefore, I don't regret them.

What are you most proud of?

Snagging my man. He's hot. I'm a lucky woman. That is an accomplishment! :)

Cats or dogs?

Easy. Dogs all the way.

What's your biggest fashion mistake?

I can't say I had anything major b/c typically when I look back that stuff was in style then so is it still considered a mistake? I'll go with overalls w/ one strap hanging down. Gangsta. It was hot. :)

What is your guilty TV pleasure?

What ISN'T my guilty TV pleasure. That would be the easier question to answer.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

A vet. I still would love to be a vet but my art degree ain't gonna cut it.

If you could meet any person dead or alive who would it be?

This is a hard question. Do I go with someone famous and dead, famous and alive or someone in my family history that I never got to meet? I'm going to go with my Mom's dad. I never met my grandpa. He died when my mom was 7 or something like that. I think any celebrities would just be a let down in the end. Even though I love celebrity news!

What is your biggest dream?

I just want to live a normal everyday healthy and happy life. I guess my biggest dream would be to be debt free. Then think of all the shoes and purses I could buy! Haha!

What was your favorite book as a child?

I think I really liked Curious George. I don't remember. My memory sucks.

If today was your last day on earth what would you be doing?

I have no idea. I'd probably be crying that it was my last day! But I think I would want to go skydiving! Conquer a fear before you die!

If you could have one super power what would it be?

Teleportation definitely. Just think of the possibilities. Didn't you see 'Jumper'?

If you joined the circus what act would you perform?

The trapeze!!

Why did you start your blog?

I started it as a way to keep my family updated on what was going on in our lives since we moved to MN. Ironically I don't think my family reads it much anymore! It's morphed into a life of it's own!

And I'm not adding my own question b/c Lord knows there are more than enough questions to this thing already! And I tag anyone who is looking for something to post about! :) I know. I squelch on the rules but it's my blog so I do what I want! Sorry for the novel!

I see your true colors shining through...


A week later and my run in with the concrete post is showing it's colors better than ever. It's kind of hard to tell but my entire knee cap is still a little swollen and it is yellow w/ splotches of purple and on the outside lower part of my knee it is entirely purple. Pretty eh? Purple and yellow, just for the Vikings! Too bad it's a buy week for them! Haha! This isn't even including the hefty (but nowhere near as bad) bruising I have on my left knee, left elbow and upper right thigh. Yep. I'm slick.

So to everyone out there, beware of those pesky concrete posts. They are sneaky little fuckers. You won't even know what hit you until you are flat on your arse and crying in the wind and rain and having your husband, sister and boyfriend look down at you and laughing at your graceful (read: klutzy) fall. (This winner of a picture was taken minutes after my fall. Notice how my darling hubby is smiling and holding my stupid broken umbrella which was the cause of my fall. Zero sympathy. Thanks.) Real nice.

You'd think that my sister would be more sympathetic to my fall being that not long ago she took a spill down concrete steps at work. So yeah, the smoothness... it must run in the family. Take a look at her goodies. We are awesome.
On a side note, on Sunday I will have had this blog going for 2 years! I can't believe it's been that long already. I'm not asking for any congrats messages. I just want to tell you all that it has been a blast and I'm going to keep on keepin on w/ the blog even if sometimes I get a little boring. Just don't read me if I ramble! :) Love you guys!

Cheers~

Halloweiner nearly killed me

No weekly want-it's post this week. I am a wreck. This weekend was so much fun it nearly killed me. I am still trying to recover. I had an unfortunate run in with a concrete post (literally). My knee is a nice shade of purple so it cheered on the Vikings yesterday for another win against Green Bay. Yay! :) But other than my knee looking like a purple baseball this weekend was awesome!


We had two parties we went to over the weekend and both were a great time. Friday night we went to our friend Zach's party (thanks Zach!) and Saturday we went to Picosa. Since I killed way too many brain cells this weekend I'll just let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy. *Doesn't Wade make a great bull? Haha!







How was everyone else's Halloween? Anything fun or exciting happen?

Happy Monday!
