I probably could count on one hand the amount of times in the last six years that I've actually sat down and watched an entire movie from beginning to end. I enjoy them, but obviously I enjoy sleep a little more ;) I'm proud to say, as of last night, I watched not one, but TWO movies {at night, too} from start to finish!
2. Blogger: this is my daily read. I love to read about everyone's different lives, projects, recipes, crafts, & what nots. I could do this all day.
3.Etsy:I have no idea how I came across this a few years back, but I am oh so glad I did. Half of my wedding essentials came from here: bridesmaids dresses, bridesmaids brooches, ceremony programs, mother of the bride/groom gifts, & so much more. Warning: This website is a true addiction. I've spent endless hours browsing through the shops & favoriting items.
4. Pinterest: my newest obsession. Thank goodness my computer has a glitch in it when I scroll to the bottom of a page (or does it do this for everyone?). If not, I would be pinning my life away.

stayed tuned ♥
i'm hoping to post a few [unedited] wedding photos this afternoon!
1. Chicken fingers, preferably fried. Love them. Favorite food since I was a kid.
2. Japanese : filet mignon (pronounced by cliff exactly as it's spelled, "fil-et mig-non") & grilled shrimp with vegetables (zucchini & onions) ... absolutely delish. Best.out.to.eat.meal.ever.
3. Mexican : arroz texanos - basically texas fajitas over a bed of rice & topped with white cheese. I literally have this at least once a week. I will settle for a chicken quesadilla topped with white cheese on occasion.. depends on how big of an appetite I have. hehe. Both are fabulous.
4. Chinese : sweet & sour chicken with fried rice and an egg roll.
5. Parmesan Chicken from Long Horns or Olive Garden - favorite.
One couldn't tell that I prefer chicken, now could they?
If you're new & visiting, I have two giveaways going on this week! Be sure to stop in & enter for your chance to win a $25 store credit to my etsy shop!
fyi, this was the biggest challenge so far.
here's a list of where i've been, where i want to go, special places, & my most comfortable places.
1. Cancun, Mexico : Honeymoon Destination
We stayed at the Playa Mujeres. May I add, best.resort.ever.
If I can talk the hubby into it, we will be going back here for our 5 year anniversary.
2. Sanibel, Florida : In a few weeks, we will be vacationing here with my family.
3. Home : I'm such a homebody. I love being at home.
4. Lady & Sons : place I would love to have dinner at { and possibly meet Paula Dean? }
5. NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) : place I've always wanted to work.
6. Our bed : where I'm at as I'm writing this. There's just something about this bed. We're not sure if it's the sheets, the comforter, the mattresses, or just the fact it's a place we can lay our heads, but we absolutely loooove our bed.
If you didn't have the opportunity to enter my giveaway over at Young & Crafty, there's still time! Hannah is giving you until Thursday at midnight to enter!
Pssst... there's a 15% off discount code available from now until August 4th, too! cchheck-it-out.
Today, I've linked up with Jen at Craft-O-Maniac allowing her to host yet ANOTHER $25 store credit giveaway!
That's not one, but TWO opportunities to win!
as much as say I don't want any children right now, I really am ready and excited for them in our near future. i don't ever foresee there being a "perfect" time to plan for one. the money will never be sufficient, the time will never be right. we will just let the good Lord decide when a little "Y" will join our family.
i want to invent & patent something, sell it at wholesale costs to retailers all over the world, & make millions. don't we all?
i bring home no income from my business. with time comes profit. for now, I'll work hard to make it successful, the rest will come later.
nursing is a career. creating, crafting, and being happy and successful is a desire.
sleep is impossible without Cliff by my side.
my second toe is larger than my first. doesn't this mean I'm the "ruler of the house"? ...a-hem!
i'm terrified by roaches & will squeal loudly if one comes close.
i edit my photos in photoshop and make everyone blemish free. lately, i've had a case of the break-outs. after asking everyone why? they claim it's stress. as i was talking with a friend the other day, i stated "if this is what my face looks like now, i'm seriously worried about what it will look like ten years down the road with three children running around!" sheesh. i'm concerned. i've never had this sort of problem in my younger days, ever :( i guess it's a calling to
"de-stress" my life..?
i'm a horrible commenter & blogger friend. please know that i read your posts & absoutely love each and every one of them! i really do! i find so much inspiration and joy from reading & looking at everyone's different lives. i get my e-mails sent to my phone & can read them while i'm driving/working, but can absolutely NOT drive and text. i don't even try. shortly after, i forget about them completely...like, days later before i remember again. it's bad. --> short-term memory loss, fa sho!
i'm home alone & enjoying the quiet time catching up while cliff is hanging out with some friends playing horseshoes. he's asked me to ride over, but instead i'm seriously considering spending the evening sitting right here & enjoying a nice glass, or two, of wine. as soon as he gets home, he wants the computer out of my lap & for me to be snuggled up close to him while he falls asleep. tonight, it's just me & you all!
