Fill in the Blank Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Happy Cinco de Mayo :) I will be spending the weekend with my boyfriend again. We are going to have a movie day tomorrow and go see The Lucky One and The Avengers, and then we will go eat some Mexican food. YUM.


Sunday we plan to go to the Cotton Pickin' Fair in Gay, GA. It all depends on the weather. Hope it is fun, I've never been :D



Here go the answers to Fill in the Blank Friday!

1.  My bedtime routine includes, getting into my pjs, reading, watching one of my DVR'd shoes, brushing my teeth, washing my face, and going to bed.

2.   I am  a happy girl. It is Friday - who can complain?! I have a fun weekend planned.

3.  I can't stand   when people constantly complain    because  I like to be in a positive mood as much as possible, and their complaining brings me down.

4. My idea of relaxation would be   some comfy pjs, bed, and a good book :)

5. If I had an extra $50, I would buy me a nice outfit from Old Navy or Gap... or maybe I would buy another pair of Toms... The options are endless. 

6. The best thing about a bloggy friend is  I haven't been in depth enough to have any bloggy friends, but I think it would be cool, because you learn so much about each other through blogs and they know when you're having a good or bad day/week. You both enjoy blogging, which is always a plus.

7.  A recipe I've been dying to try is a pumpkin bread. YUM. I love pumpkin recipes.

Mother's Day - We Want To Know Wednesday

It's that time of the week.

We Want To Know Wednesday with Mamarazzi and Crazymama!

So I'm not a mom, but I'll just answer it how I THINK I would if I had a child :)

{one} What would be your ideal way to spend Mothers day? 
           I would want to spend it with my kids. Preferably doing something fun. Not necessarily going out to eat or anything like that. Maybe grill out and play games - outdoor or indoor!

{two} Which would you rather receive actual gifts or gifts of service?
            Either one. I love both - I think I am most excited about getting handmade gifts :)

She @  http://she-she-says.blogspot.com wants to know:

{three}How do you juggle it all?  How many different "hats" do you wear and how do you accomplish all you have to do?

            I don't have much that I have to do, other than go to work, read, and watch TV shows. I know, it's pretty intense. :) If I had kids and had a lot of things to juggle, I think I would just have to be VERY organized. With everyone's schedule.. Lots of planning would be involved.

Vandy @ http://tttandme.blogspot.com/ wants to know:

{four} What was your "Oh no, I'm turning into my mom" moment?
             Oh you know, when I bought my puppy and I actually had to walk her myself ;) But seriously - I respect mother's (especially mine) so much. I am excited to one day have the opportunity to be one myself, but for now my puppy will have to do.

Natalie @ http://wibblywobblyme.blogspot.com/ wants to know:

{five}What should you be doing right now instead of participating in today's WWTK linky?
           Working? I get off in 29 minutes and I hit a good stopping point, so I'm kind of just killing time now. Shh don't tell the boss.. she went home for the day already :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday - who is celebrating Cinco De Mayo on Saturday? My boyfriend wants to go see The Avengers, to which I came up with the idea to do a double feature so I can see the Lucky One. I think he also wants to eat Mexican food for dinner :)

Fill In The Blank Friday

I am participating in The Little Things We Do fill in the blanks today :)

 1.  Today is a great day because, I made it 1 week at my new job  AND I get to hang out with the BFF tonight.

 

2.   Tomorrow I will   relax and enjoy having the weekend off.

3.  My favorite time of day is   evening    because  I get to relax and unwind... and PJS are involved. :)

4. Sometimes you just have to sing really loud OR watch a sappy movie and cry.

5. A song that I just can't get enough of lately is   "We are young" by Fun . <-- I agree! I am obsessed!

6. My favorite accessory is  - a scarf when it is cold - I am not huge on accessories. While I LOVE them, I just forget to put in the effort to remember in the mornings. Maybe I'll have to start planning this when I plan my close at night.

7.  My favorite thing about this week was starting my new job. It has been a very great start to my career. I am excited and am glad I was given this opportunity. It makes me smile.

Have a fabulous Friday everyone!

6. It was tax day here in the US. Did you get a return? How do you spend it?I got my return over a month ago and it was gone within a couple of days paying loans and credit cards. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted :)
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Weekend… no month update.

The biggest thing that has happened in the past month of me neglecting my poor little blog oasis, is that I got a FULL TIME JOB! It was quite a long process of me worrying about nothing. I’m a worrier by nature, it is what I do. You have something to worry about, pass it on to me.

About a month ago, I went for the interview and waited and waited. Two weeks later, I decided to follow up. They told me they were really pushing for me, but had a few more steps to follow before they could make that decision.

Within a couple of days, they called back and said “when can you start”? So, since I was at work at the time, on a Monday, I turned in my two weeks. That was HARD. I have loved being with Bath and Body Works these past 5.5 years. These past 2 years have been the BEST as far as co workers go. I love them all. If you checked out my instagram post, you will see they got me a little going away gift. I think there might be a dinner as well!

To make an already lengthy story short, I started TODAY! Saturday was my last day at Bath and Body Works as a sales leader, for now I am staying on for floor sets once a month.

Once I finish my first week, I will let you all know how it went!

All in all my weekend was wonderful. Saturday with my last day, and Sunday was a ‘get everything in order before I start this new chapter in my life and to keep everything off my mind’ type of day.

 

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Best of Instagram

I am finally starting to be addicted enough to instagram to participate in Best of Instagram with Jenni over at Story of my Life.

Here we go!



1. This is the coffee mug I used in honor of Easter! Cute, huh?
2. One of my new favorite K-Cups.



3. Stranded at home without a car Monday made way for finishing a book with the company of my 70 pound pit bull sprawled across my lap.
4. …and for a fill it ins. These help me unwind.




5. I might have a pen addiction.
6. Super cute stationary I got from Target.


7. Sweet Tea --- it’s an addiction (there seems to be a theme of addiction here…)
8. YUM – All there is to say about this!


9. ME!
10. Love my new cacti – Let’s see if I can kill these as easily as other plants.

 

11. The flowers and card my coworkers at Bath and Body Works got me for my last day.
12. The cupcakes my manager made that were DELICIOUS… She’s so talented!

 

13. AND a lone pictures of my close friend’s SAVE THE DATE! So exciting! I am a bridesmaid in her wedding, and I cannot wait!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Fill in the blank Friday

I have no good reason for being MIA for a little while now. It has been so hectic. I have some exciting things happening in my life and I cannot wait to share, but I don't want to do that at the beginning of a link up. I will write a post soon!

Here we go :)

1.  Today is a good day because it is so beautiful outside today in GA .

2.   The best thing I did all week was   spend time with family and the boyfriend on Easter - working in retail, Sunday is the first day of the week, so I'm counting it :) .

3.  The current weather is   sunny    and it makes me feel   awesome and energized!

4. The best thing about spring is  the clothes! They are so fun and full of life :) I typically love the weather, where it is not too hot and not too cold, but this spring has already started off too hot here in GA, although this week has been PERFECT in that aspect and I LOVE it!

5. A fashion trend that I'm dying to try out for spring is  just any of the bright colors, I am thinking I might be into the whole floral thing, but haven't yet decided. I want a pair of hot pink capris! I just need to convince myself I can pull them off ;)

6. A person who made me smile this week was   just being with my family and boyfriend, having so many days off before my new adventure (information coming soon), and the weather.

7.  The most delicious thing I ate all week was  not very healthy or substantial. I love Lindor truffles, especially the milk chocolate filled with white chocolate... they are seasonal ones, and we finally found them for Easter at BJs and they might be the best thing I've eaten all week and I am NOT ashamed :)


I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday the 13, I will be at work from 12-6, which is a perfect shift, don't have to wake up early or work late :) I plan to get it together soon, I promise!
