Friday Rattle Time

Hey everyone! Hope you had a fantastic Friday! I'm spending my night cuddled with Audrey which is a perfect way to end this week! Dealt with driving in the Snow and the kids acting as if there was a full moon or something the past few days! Whew! Craziness! 

I have to say I am very proud of myself. I tried a few styles that I am normally nervous about doing but I did and I felt great. I wore new accessories, that normally I would just day dream about and wish I could pull off. I rocked them! Then I also wore my hair a different way and I loved it! I will totally be trying it again! Also, It's been 2 days since I bought something from Jane.com! That website is awesome yet terrible for my fashion loving self!

                                              

Are you all getting ready for Super Bowl? I wish I was spending it with my family like last year but my dad is working so Kris and I invited friends over and most have said they already had plans and a few said they may show up. So what should I fix? I am all about party food its my favorite! Dips,Chips,and Pigs in Blanket my kinda thing! 

I am thinking that the Seahawks will win the game and honestly I don't care who does. Not a fan of either team. I am more excited about the food and commercials! 

Anyway, I need to go get some sleep Audrey has a vet appointment early tomorrow morning to get her next round of shots and get her nails trimmed.

Last appointment she weighed 2.4 pounds..... I'm thinking either 2.8 or 3.0 pounds this time! We shall see!

Good night!

15 in 15

Hello! So I always feel like January is prep month for getting your goals to start! I love my life and everyone in it so it's hard to think of more things I want but, I feel like you always need to challenge yourself to be stronger and not slack off because you will miss things.  So last year I had 14 goals in 2014 this year is 15 goals in 2015.

Go on another Cruise
Drink more water
Try a yoga class
Read at least 4 books this year
Wear my hair curled or waved more
Have friends over more
Teach Audrey a trick
Try a new recipe each month
Keep blog up to date better
Do more with my family
Throw Kris a huge 30th Birthday party
Teach my self the Fake ID country line dance
Do Zumba at least twice a week
Experience something new that's out of the normal for me.
Live each day to the fullest

There you have it... my goals for 2015....we shall see how this works!

Tuesday.....

Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! So I have all these posts to type and just haven't gotten to sit down and type them all out! Slacking! Hoping for a snow day sometime soon! :) It is hard to keep attention off of Audrey!

Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far! The posts will be coming on here! It's my goal this week!

check it out at your own risk!

Hello everyone! I hope you all were safe and warm! Today started out not so good for me... Audrey kept me up most of the night and this morning we awoke to icy filled roads. On my way to work, I went over a bump and CRACK..... my windshield cracked straight across.... I was devastated.  I mean my nerves were already crazy with driving to work on ICE and then that happened. I am not very good dealing with grown up things and everybody kept saying to me well at least you didn't get hurt... well true but if I didn't have to come into work it wouldn't have happened because I would have kept sleeping and then moved to the couch to nap there haha 

I wanted to tell you about this website I came across and now am addicted to. www.Jane.com it has daily deals from different boutiques and I have been spending some money!

I have ordered a Red Buffalo Check scarf, 4 tunics (black,coral,grey,and blue), Red, green, and beige blanket scarf, and a designer inspired herringbone vest! 

All items that I have been looking to add to my wardrobe this winter! I'm so excited! As soon as all my items come in I will post them on her for you! 

Have a wonderful night!

And so begins another week....

Good Afternoon! Happy Rainy Monday! Should be against to law, rules, whatever you want to call it to be rainy on a Monday! The day is going good so far but boy I would love to be at home with my Furbaby! 

Yesterday was so nice just cuddling with Audrey watching Football. I can't believe the games turned out like they did and the teams I was pulling for actually won! Wow what controversy at the end of the Green Bay and Dallas Game! Bryant didn't have control over the ball during his roll. I was disappointed with the performance from the Broncos yesterday. I thought that game was going to be a nail biting overtime kinda game.

I thought last's night's episode of Revenge was awesome a sitting on the edge of your seat kind of episode! 

   I have found an awesome but yet terrible website that gives you such awesome deals on the hottest trends! The why I say awesome and yet terrible is because it is awesome and the terrible part is I'm addicted to looking at it every chance I get and I have been buying from the site! I will tell you all about it tomorrow!

I hope you all continue to have an awesome day!

Be a voice....not an echo

Lately, I have been faced with the feeling of disappointment with myself for caring about someone who clearly only cares about her self. As I step back, I see that she always likes to be a step ahead of everyone but in reality she's not. You shouldn't compare yourself to anyone, no one else in the world is fully like you. Do you really love your life or just the idea of everything happening in it? I can truly say I love my life I am happy with who I am today and it makes me mad that I always care so much about others before myself and yet if i'm sick they are ones that never call to check on me but expect you to move mountains for them each and everyday. 


I often feel like I repeat myself but the thoughts still replay in my mind as why people go through life accepting childish behavior from grown adults? 

Is it really not alright to stand up for yourself?


I'm sorry but if I've had enough.....I've had enough! If you are suppose to always stay quiet and not stand up for yourself then ......still eating lunch in the bathrooms at middle school....I would still be in an abusive relationship. I just wouldn't be the person I am today or happy!
I love that I am happy in life everyone should be happy in life!

So tired of people that feel the need to be so hateful just because of their own insecurities, always playing the victim after they were the ones to create the chaos and causing other people to start to fight, then saying I don't have time to deal with people but all the while sit back and watch the drama unfold....

I really feel sorry for people who go through life not knowing who they are and are always trying to be someone they aren't! You really have to love yourself before you can love anyone else! 
You are the one you are stuck with forever. Others can walk away but you are stuck being you. 
I'm very sorry if this offends anyone or depresses anyone. It's my blog to be able to type my thoughts and so there's a little insight to what's going on in my brain today.

ummmm about that....

In 2014 I made goals for life and my blog and didn't meet most of them to the fullest I would have liked to, but a lot in life did happen so I can't be too mad at myself.

So let me explain..... 

1. I got really bad migraines and had to drink soda but it's not my first choice anymore and I only drink it when I really need it.

2. I have not cut my hair it has been growing! 

3. yeah... I was doing good and well life happened

4. no one new joined

5. I feel as if I did a little more

6. I did a Diabetes walk for one of my students but not a color 5k

7. I teach a creative movement class at work where i do zumba moves at.

8. I sing in my car everyday..... does that count?

9. I feel as If I have been there a little more for my friends and my family

10. I saw Deirks Bentley and Thomas Rhett in concert!

11. I did cook new recipes!

12. oh yes every month I have gotten a massage!

13. I did take my mom to the zoo for mother's day

14. I didn't do a day trip to the outlets but I did shop on my cruise at Jamaica ,Grand Turk, and Nassau... does that count?

So maybe life did go as I planned but 2014 was so amazing! I am very thankful for everything in my life and for the person I am today!

After 2 years of asking......

Hello! I feel as if Sunday was made for snuggles and I now have a snuggle buddy!

Meet Audrey she is a 7 week old Puggle! A Puggle is a Pug mixed with Beagle. She is the sweetest cuddle bug! I got her the night of Christmas Eve!  Kris and I had just gotten to his mom's and he disappeared and came back with a pink and gold box and said ,"Open it." I looked at him like he was crazy, "dude, we just got here, you haven't even said hi to anyone." He said, " No open it." I lifted the box, open and there was the message written " Will you be my mommy?"  along with "ps. I don't have a name and inside the box was my puppy! 

We have already taken her to the vet and will have to go in another week for her to get her next vaccines. She has been such a sweet heart and is already spoiled as can be!

I'm so excited and feel so loved that Kris got her for me. 

He really does love me after all!

Pepper Jack Cheese Chicken

I fixed a recipe I found on Pinterest. So easy to make it too almost an hour to bake but it was one of those you put it all together and throw it in the oven meals.

The Pinterest link took me to this website for the Pepper Jack Cheese Chicken. It explained everything quite well I think.

She suggested to serve it over rice. Kris doesn't like rice much so he just wanted Garlic bread. I think I may serve it over noodle next time.

We both liked our meal! this will be one I fix again. It was very easy to make and yummy!

Hope you enjoy this meal!

Happy Friday!! This is the last post about my cruise! In the next posts, I'll be doing a 2014 recap and then setting goals for 2015 as well as telling you about my new little friend!

Last stop, Nassau at the Bahamas we spent the day on the beach called Paradise Island it was right next to Atlantis! I cried on the Taxi ride the driver was so rude and I thought we were going to die with his driving. I wasn't able to relax on the beach for more then 10 seconds for yet another person would ask if I wanted a drink....if I wanted a new bag......if I wanted my hair braided...if I wanted a cigar.....

I would be alright not visiting Nassau again. It was beautiful but next time I think I would pay the $100 excursion to sit on the Atlantis beach so I wouldn't be pestered.

Snorkeling in Grand Turk

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a wonderful night and got that great midnight kiss!

The cruise posts are still continuing, Today is about Grand Turk!

In Grand Turk we booked the excursion that put us on a boat to go snorkling and then take us to a private beach! We were able to see some beautiful fish and coral. I was quite proud of myself that I actually went through with the excursion because my stomach the closer we got to the middle of the ocean was not making me feel so good!

After our snorkling adventure we went to Margaritaville! It's was so beautiful and had a huge pool around the entire place! The party was hopping as soon as we got there and one of my friends pushed me out to the dance floor to start dancing.

Out of all the stops... Grand Turk was my FAVORITE!
