What I'm Loving Wednesday

I’m loving that it is a short week.

I’m loving that hubby is home. It is crazy how much you worry about a person when they are not around. Now I feel like a ton of bricks have been removed from my shoulders.

I’m loving the colors on my nails right now.


I’m loving shopping in my closet. More on that later.

I’m loving drumstick ice cream cones. The bottom of the cone is the best!


I’m loving that my boss is going on vacation from Friday-Friday. No explanation there, haha.

I’m loving that on Friday night I have a sushi date with hubby. Unless of course he changes his mind and realizes that he hates sushi.


What are you loving?

Happy Dance

hubs is back! safe & sound.

he got in at 4 this morning but he didn't come upstairs.

i found him on the couch sleeping. and i internally did a happy dance.

he said, he didn't come upstairs because he didn't want to wake me.

how sweet, but he should have woke me.

i can't wait to go home, i've missed my man.

happy Monday! {he makes the best faces!}

Saw my Bestie ♥ + OOTD

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a phone call from my BFF advising that she will be in town and if I was free to meet. Of course I was! I mean, with the whole no plans and all.

I hadn't seen her and her new son Carter in over 9 months. And her husband even longer than that. Excited is not even the word to describe it. Ecstatic? Yes. Ecstatic to see them!

When I last met Carter he was one month old and his eyes were closed most of the time, so I'm sure he had no memory of me.

Well, wouldn't you know he came right to me and let me hold him for a long time. Smiling at me and playing with me. Stacy and her husband Bill were surprised because he never does that with anyone he has just met. They say he cries and screams even with their mothers. And if he had just woke up even worse. Well, I was new and he had just woke up and he was perfectly fine with me holding and playing with me. I felt special.

The only thing that could have made this better was if I hadn't forgot to take pictures. I guess I was just too excited ecstatic that I actually forgot to take pictures.

I will fix that soon because he has his first birthday party in June and I will be sure to take a ridiculous amount of pictures.

Since I forgot to take pictures here is what I wore to see them yesterday:

Happy Memorial Day Weekend ♥

i wish you all a lovely Memorial Day weekend.

i have no plans. nada.

i think i should kinda feel lame but i don't.

there will just be extra cuddle time with Izabella and Fella.

and time to reflect on how much i want to choke Sean for being on vacation.

although, i admit, it will be sucky to come back to blogging after the weekend and have nothing fun to post.

and then i'll see all the fun things you guys did and be slightly jealous.

hmm, maybe i should try and make plans.

darn it.

I was tagged by the ever gorgeous Katie @ Married...With a Pup. You know a person you "meet" in blogland and you just know you would be incredible friends with them in real life. She is one of those people.

OK, here are the 11 things you may not know about me:

*I’ve never been stung by a bee {I hope I didn’t just jinx myself}

*When I was younger the only thing we didn’t have to ask for was water. Due to this, I am addicted to drinking it. I am that person that says, water taste so good.

*Everyday I bring grapes or strawberries for a snack to work. Almost everyday I go back home with it.

*I decided one day that I wanted to eat gluten free. Then I saw all the foods that contained gluten and changed my mind. I love gluten.

*Sometimes I buy an outfit in secret, meaning I do not tell Sean. Every single time he knows and asks, “When did you get that?” I tried the whole, “Oh, this old thing. I’ve had it forever.” It doesn’t work. He knows EVERY single outfit I own. Stinks.

*I hate when Sean watches those ghost shows on television because I feel like the ghosts will come into our house through the television. Freaks me out.

*I am a great cook. Sean tells me so by licking his plate.

*I am obsessed with my sisters. The amount of phone calls, emails and texts they receive is ridiculous. And now that I have Facetime, it hasn’t gotten any better.

*I didn’t understand what the big deal about 24 was about. I mean, I hadn’t watched one episode so of course I didn’t. I watched one episode through Netflix and now I’m on Season 6.

*Am I the only one who doesn’t get the Bachelor/ette? I love trashy reality television as much as the next person but I just can’t get into it.

*When someone is talking and you can’t hear them, don’t nod. Because sometimes they may be asking you a question. Lesson learned. Just say, “can’t hear you!”

*** Now I'm going to ask my 11 tagged people these questions and answer them myself ***

1. If you had 10 minutes to be on a popular television show, which show would it be? No doubt I would choose Lost. I just loved that show. I also really enjoyed Prison Break's first few seasons so that one too, haha.

2. If you could have one superpower what would it be? I would love to be invisible. I just want to see what people do when they think no one is watching. I'm such a creeper.

3. What TV show are you embarrassed about watching? That would have to be Jersey Shore.

4. What is your favorite book? I really loved Hunger Games so that is my favorite book now.

5. What is the worst flavor of ice cream? Strawberry, yuck.

6. What is your favorite condiment? Ketchup.

7. What is the ideal comfort food? Pizza with tons of cheese.

8. What is the most important meal of the day? They say breakfast, I say dinner.

9. What is your dream job? Personal shopper.

10. What subject do you wish you had paid more attention to in school? Geography.

11. What musical instrument do you wish you could play? Piano. It just seems like a smart instrument to know how to play.

*** The 11 people tagged can either answer the 11 questions or create 11 themselves or not do it at all. ***

1. The Coffeehouse

2. you are my color

3. Work It Out, Gurl

4. The Rookie Wife

{Insert Clever Title Here}

Hubs leaves for Peru today. So we had a little date last night that way he can't forget me. It is raining all week so I took this chance to wear my Hunters. Go figure that hubs wore flip-flops.

I wish I could go. I can’t. Some work stuff and honestly it costs a lot of money. Money that I would rather spend for Vegas later on in the year.

He’s going for a co-worker’s wedding.

He is super excited about it. He said, “When am I ever going to get another chance to go to Peru?” I guess never.

You know how he likes to travel and all.

I’m so not excited about it.

International calls = Expensive.

This means, I won’t get any calls and I will actually have to check my Facebook for any messages from him.

Oh and don’t even bother trying to rob me.

I have a pit-bull.

...My Weekend...

This weekend was perfection. I wish all my weekends can consist of this. My family, husband, sunshine and BBQ food.

The weather was amazing. No rain at all which was welcomed due to the amount of rain we’ve been having the last few weeks. Izabella was loving our long walks. I tell you she hates the rain and refuses to potty to avoid it. It is not fun dragging a dog through the rain to poop, but I digress.

On Sunday was my sister’s graduation. It was the best and shortest graduation I have ever been to. I have been known to hate graduations but the guest speaker was Judge Judy and well she is just incredible. Also, my sister's graduation class was so large that instead of calling each graduate by name they called them in groups. And because they did it this way there was no embarrasing moment. You know the moment when a popular person's name is called and there are screams, whistles and cheers and then an unpopular person's name is called and all you hear are crickets. So awkward.

This graduation was really special too because it was our youngest sister graduating. I felt so proud of her and so did my family. I wonder how my parents feel having adults as children now. Must be strange.

After graduation we had a little BBQ for my sister at our house. Nothing big and it was just us. But that is all we needed. Lots of food, great company and the sun. What more do you need?

Here are some pictures:

I also wanted to welcome my new nephew. My SIL gave birth to this cutie on 5/16/2012. Welcome Jayden Joel. I am so excited to meet you!
