Friday Letters #9

Welp, this my first Friday Letters of 2013. Seriously though folks,
how are we 18 days into January already?! Crazy.
 You know what is crazier, this is my 4th post this week!
Holy Cow Batman, I am on a roll!

Dear Friday - Thank you for being here. I am ready for the weekend.
Dear Blog - I am thinking you are in need of a makeover soon. Anybody know any good designers?
Dear Clinique - Thank you for making my face breakout when i didn't take my face wash with me when i went out of town. Next time, I am taking all 3 steps with me.
And I took the scrub not the soap - lesson learned - i won't do that again.
Dear Kim/Kanye Baby - Honestly, good for you guys that you are having a baby - but I don't really want to hear about it everyday until summer. Come onnnn already.
Dear Icy Roads - You scared the holy daylights out of me earlier this week while driving to work. Sliding sideways isn't really that fun - I was even going super slow too. sigh
Dear Twitter - I am getting hooked on you again! And, it is great to connect with other bloggers that way too. I am a tweeting fool lately - follow me here
Dear Nicki Minaj - Ugh. I don't have anything nice to say - so I will leave it at that. Actually, I do have one nice thing, you were pretty funny last night .
Dear Readers - I cannot believe I have 54 GFC followers, thank you all so much! And, thank you to all my family and friends that read it too. Love you guys.

Dear Totsy - Um, your website is amazing. Thanks mom for showing it to me! I bought 2 pairs of boots, a pair of moccasins, 3 pairs of slippers, a pea coat, and shirt for....$80!
Yes, you read that right. $80
Amazing, right?! Good Quality stuff too. Go check it out here.
Can I get an amen that it is finally Friday?! AMEN.
Happy Friday

This 'n That Thursday V.1

I am linking up with the fabulous Katie & Jena for their link up: This 'n That Thursday
 
 
This week has been major catch up at work. Note to self: Somehow, most of my work does not do itself when you are gone for 9 days. Sheesh. I wonder why not? Although, I am happy that everyday I am getting a little more done and my pile is getting smaller. Lets hope it stays that way. Finger Crossed.
 
 
I am really amazed That some people are so selfish.  I think that some people should be willing to make sacrifices to help others out not only when something happens, but all the time. Maybe we should take a step back and look at situations and reflect on what we may or may not be doing - and if you don't like what you see, you should change it. 
 






This life of mine keeps throwing me curve balls. I have learned we just have to have faith and go along with the curve - not stress and worry about what we don't know.  We need to cherish everyday, be thankful and live in the moment. I am mean really, why worry about yesterday? We can't change it. Why worry about tomorrow? Who knows what it will be like.


That lovely list of New Years Resolutions? Yeah, they totally haven't been happening -well most of them anyways. But most, heck, all, of them are work in progress - so I would say I am 5 out 10 on starting the process... not too shabby, right? I know I know - I am such a slacker. But hey, I still have over 340+ days to keep on trying! : )
 
 
This season of American Idol should be interesting. I am not a fan on Nicki Minaj - like at all. Ugh.  I am fan of the show though, so I will try my best to stick with it and hopefully I can put up with her all season.  I think Mariah is going to be a great judge and mentor. it should be interesting between the two divas when shows go live.
 
 
I am so so sad ThatChip Kelly is leaving left yesterday. (Chip Kelly is was the head football coach for the University of Oregon Ducks) Such a travesty for Oregon. He is leaving highly nationally ranked college football team for the Eagles. Really Chip? Really? I must say you have made Oregon proud with your coaching skills. You are leaving behind a fantastic team that will continue to be amazing even after your departure.  You did us proud in the four years you coached, we went 47- 6.  And, we had 4 straight BCS bowl appearances. Now the question is, who will fill those very big shoes left by Coach Kelly? Good Luck in Philly Chip.  I am sure the visor sales will skyrocket.


So Long Buddy.
Happy Friday Eve Friends! Now, go link up with Katie & Jena!

Oh, How Pinteresting.

Guys, I love Pinterest. So Much. I wish my wallet was huge so I could fit all the amazing outfits I pin in my closet (that I wish was huge too). And, the recipes. Oh the recipes. What did we do before Pinterest?! Can't forget about the amazing hair and makeup.

Here are some pins worth sharing!


Really - what a good idea. Almost as great as the graduation hats in Twilight.


Love this. If I do say so myself, this shirt is so me. For REALS.

Tuesday Topics Week 3


Oh eM Gee. I love TV, probably way more than I should.  I also love me some reality shows - because they are just so real, right? hah. You name it, I love it all - crime, MTV, dramas, comedies, etc.  There is definitely no discrimination here.  Here is my list of 8 shows I am loving right now!

 
Revenge
Um, Hello - who could not love this show? It saucy, sultry, and keeps me on the edge of my seat.  And, I was a fan of Emily Van Camp ever since her Everwood days.
 
The Bachelor
Do I even need to explain why this show made my list? Just look at this fine human being....
and those blue eyes... and perfect smile. Yup. Best Bachelor Ever. (don't judge)
 
Catfish: The TV Show 
The movie was super interesting, and a little creepy. I love this show and Nev.  Although, it still surprises me how many dishonest people are out there. At least they have the guts to come clean in the end...
 
Scandal
Intense, Steamy, & Edgy. Love
 
Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon
This guy is hilar! And, he is totally one of the good nice guys, you could totally be his friend. His skits are so hilarious, and his musical talents are unbelievable. Can't forget about his Friday Letters. And, his other show... Ew! Watch this. You can thank me later. ; )
 
Pretty Little Liars
Yes, I am 26 and I still enjoy watching ABC Family shows. Really tho, I am hooked on this show.
 
The Real Housewives of....
I'll go with Beverly Hills, but my fav is New Jersey.  It's like a train wreck - you can't help but watch. Seriously though, how are these people even on TV? And don't even get me started on 'Vanderpump Rules' - I am all over that hot mess of a show.  The series may or may not be recorded on my DVR.
 
New Girl
Zooey is hilarious plus add in 3 cuties and you are bound to have a great show.  I really enjoy this quirky and funny show.  I am about 5 episodes behind (thank goodness for dvr's) but I hope, one day, Jess & Nick will get together... who is with me? Plus did anyone see Max Greenfield (Schmidt) and the Golden Globes? Hello, Good Lookin'!
 
My list could go on and on for awhile, because, I just love TV that much. I mean I didn't even mention Greys, Castle, The Voice, Vamp Dairies, Hawaii Five-0, Chelsea Lately, or The Lying Game. Okay, I'll stop now, but you catch my drift.
 
What are some of your favorite shows?!

Tuesday Topics Week 2

Linking up with Lauren and Tiffany  again for Tuesday Topics.

This week we are sharing our 9 favorite blogs.

Can I just say how hard this was.  I wrote down a list of my favorite blogs, and it was wayyy more than 9. So I had to cross many off the list.  But here are my 9 blogs that I read all the time.

Ashley @ Little Miss Momma
My friend Sasha told me about this blog. I love it. Such a beautiful writer! Her honesty is true and pure.

Taylor @ The Daily Tay
This girl is hilarious - I can usually count on a laugh or five with her witty and humorous attitude.

Shauna @ Life Captured
She's my sister so what else should I say? She is the bomb and so is her blog.

Autumn @ "Mrs." in the Making
Autumn keeps it real with her experiences and stories on being a newlywed!

Katie @ Katie Did What
Katie's blog is uplifting and happy, like her. I always get a kick out of her posts!

Erin @ Living in Yellow
Another witty personality that will be sure to make anyone laugh!

Jessica @ Little Baby Garvin Another blog my BFF told me about. We all followed along her pregnancy with her and those amazing chalkboards!

Kelle @ Enjoying the Small Things Kelle is an amazing writer and always has such a positive outlook on life. And she teaches some great lessons through her blogs! Truly inspiring.

Ashley @ Run With Me I love Ashley's post - love her variety and view point on things.

Ok, so like I said these are most of my "don't ever miss a post" blogs.  And, there is quite a variation too - I like to keep it interesting.  Thanks Ladies for sharing your stories with all of us.

Happy Tuesday!
