Jacob Riley+Giveaway+No Work

First and foremost, hooray for giveaways! I loveee them! I just recently entered Bailey's giveaway where two lucky winners would recieve a set of social networking buttons. Guess what? (i'm sure you've already figured out by this point, but let's not spoil the fun) I WONNNN!!! Hooray hooray! If it were anyone else posting this giveaway with another designer, chances are I probably wouldn't have entered. However, considering Bailey is extremely easy to work with and is an AMAZING designer I jumped on this like a cheetah in hightops! If you're ever interested in getting a professional blog design or even redesigning your blog, I would HIGHLY recommend her. You can go here for all the details on how to get a bad ass blog design! ;)

Furthermore, yesterday was intense. I woke up at 5AM to go in to work and didn't get off til 8PM. I was ready to fall out when I got hope, which is exactly what I did. Today was a waste! The most productive thing I did today was take a shower, and it was like pulling teeth to even get up and make myself do just that. Lazy much? Honestly, I can't tell you the last time I took a day off from every aspect in my crazy life. I did what I wanted to do all day long, which was just sit, that's it... just sit. Others would go get a pedicure, manicure, massage, even go shopping. However, all of that seems like a large task to me lately just because I don't have time to ever just sit. Sit and breathe for a whole day. Let me tell you, I couldn't have asked for a better day... minus the aches and pains created from working long hours in a body that isn't getting any younger, but hey that's life!

So have I ever told ya'll that I sleep naked? I have to. I can't sleep in clothes, I've tried a million and a half times! Yet, somehow I have an obsession with pajamas! I just bought an awesome set of j's that I literally wash repetitively so I can wear them every night. One of these days when I have time, I'm going to buy several more pairs. I love them because the pants you can either where them as capri's or full length and the shirt you can wear either three quarter length or long sleeve! Needless to say they're comfy, and kinda cute ;) Seee:

Told ya so. So anyways, moving on to the most important subject of this post. Jacob Riley! So today in day care his teacher was reading a book about farm animals. The teacher started making different farm animal noises and all of a sudden Jacob, 11 months old, goes "Mooo". How freaking adorable, do you know how much money I would have paid in order to see that! I love me some Jacob Riley, like nobodys business! Speaking of him being 11 months, Jacob Riley turns 1 on October 26th! Woo Hoo! Because of this, I will be hosting a giveaway sometime closer to the end of this month. Meanwhile, I have to figure out what I'll be giving away and the exact date that I'll be giving it. So anyways that's something to look forward too! Oh and also... look out for day 3 of 10 Days of Digging Deeper! It'll be popping up sometime soon =)

tick, tock, stop the clock!

Where exactly is the time going? Does anybody know, anybody? I seriously have so much that I need to do and so much that I want to do. Here's where I'm suppose to weigh out which is more important of the each tasks but let's be honest... I just want to crawl in bed and sleep, totally forget that time even exists or that I even have anything to do. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that. However I did finish my fall cleaning in my bedroom, so that's a big chip of the shoulder... and one less thing on my never ending to do list. I need more time! Time, time, time

I don't know if I've ever explained or even mentioned that I am the manager at my job and that I share my title with one other person, C. C just had a baby two Sunday's ago so all of the management responsibilites are now on my plate. Tomorrow I will be working a triple shift: opening + day shift + night shift= 13 hours of work. Plus all the little things that I need to get done adds up to be a pretty busy/exhausting day.

On a lighter note, I went to the Titans game on Sunday! :) This time J didn't go with, instead I took M, on of my employees. We had a blast even though it was a crappy loss, at least I got some pretty cute pictures from it! Ha! I was going to post some but photobucket is kind of being retarded right now. So once I have them all uploaded into one file, I'll show em to ya! ;)

Till then, I'm going to end this pointless post by telling you all that I hope you have a wonderful rest of the night and a fabulous Wednesday tomorrow!

Hooray for retail therapy! Okay so today I went shopping after work. Normally people use retail therapy when they're stressed or upset but me? No I just used it because people at work cut my nerves! So anyways moving onwards! I first stopped by Dick's Sporting Goods and bought a Titan's t-shirt as well as some cute little shorts! Oh yes, this coming Sunday's game is going to be watched in total comfort. (Unless I have a smelly guy standing near me at the game, that's not exactly comfortable...) I then stopped by Best Buy to price check some cameras, ended up leaving because no one even offered to help me price check... rude. So I then stopped by Wally World and dropped by the electronics department and not one but two people asked to help me... that's what I'm talking about people. So I ended up walking out of there with a lighter wallet and a new digital camera! Score. Okay so I didn't go full out and by an SLR or anything, really the only reason I even went to get one is because I wanted a smaller camera that was less bulky than the one I already own.

I ended up going with a simple digital camera, nothing fancy-shmancy. I wasn't looking to spend over $150 because I know I'll eventually want to get an SLR and really all I needed this one for was to take to Titan's games and what-not. (my other camera is bulky so it was always taking up too much room in my purse) Furthermore I bought the Kodak EasyShare M530. It's small and cute and does everything I need it to...which is simply take pictures and load them to my computer lol, nothing too high tech. Though I may have only spent $108.57 (not to be precise or anything?) it actually takes a lot better pictures then my $200 something camera that's fat and inconvenient! Yes, you read correctly I just called it fat. heh...

-Next Subject-
So today I didn't go into work until 10AM and only had a five hour work day, what's even better is tomorrow is a repeat of the same. Talk about vacation! Ahhh heavennnn! (As I was typing this I get a phone call from work telling me that in the morning I need to have enough food made for 300-400 people. Um ez-cuse me? Oh the life of a pro-caterer! HA!)

So anywho, be on the look out for day 3 of 10 Days of Digging Deeper! =)

OH! and Ps. Has anyone read 'Why Men Love Bitches' by Sherry Argov? A while ago I had a friend tell me about it and tell me about how good it was but I can't think about who it was that told me nor can I think about what all she said. So if you've read it, let me know your thoughts!

Wordless Wednesday v.1

10 Days of Digging Deeper has been interupted to bring you my first, Wordless Wednesday!



Because you know you can't look at that without laughing.

10 Days of Digging Deeper v.2

Welcome back to my series 10 Days of Digging Deeper! Today's prompt is: (drum roll, anyone....anyone?)

Name 10 of your most favorite qualities in your mate -or- 10 qualities that you hope to find in your future mate.

Obviously I'll be listing 10 qualites I hope to find in my future mate. :)


via
I would love for my future husband to have a great listening ear. I've never really had that in a relationship before, but to have someone really listen to me would probably be one of the best gifts.


AH! I am going to HAVE to marry a man that loves dogs! I'm 100% against animal cruelty, I think it's worst then human-to-human cruelty because unlike humans, animals can't speak for themselves, nor defend themselves...okay they can bite but that's not the point! Anyways, back to subject! A man that can love a dog has a sensitive side, and every woman should love that ;)


I would love for my mate to have a kind heart. Someone that cares about others, always has everyones best interest at heart. Wouldn't hurt a fly, however wouldn't let anyone run over him.


Loyalty. I think that's self explanatory. Loyalty is an extremely important quality and character trait.


To me this is one of the most important qualities that I could find in a man. The ability to act like a kid. Two kids in love. Rainy days spent coloring in coloring books, playing monopoly, or even go fish. The ability to ask me to play in the rain with him or even roll around in dirt. That's what is one of the most important qualities to me. I feel like if he has the ability to act like a kid our relationship won't have a dull moment. hehe


I love to life so this is almost a necessity. Okay, it definitely is. Fart in front of me and I'm able to fall off the bed laughing. That's just the way I am. I'll have a burping contest, or even dutch oven you... okay that's a joke lol. But seriously I love to laugh so this is definitely important to me. :)


I love love love to cuddle. I'm a big time cuddle-bug! hehe So basically it would be pretty bad ass to have a cuddle-bug man ;)


A family man. I am obviously an extremely family oriented chica and I would definitely want the same from my hubbs. Family has always meant a whole lot to me and if me and Mr. Man (of my dreams) were to decide to have a child or children, for that matter, I would sure hope that both of us (not just me) are highly involved in our child(rens) lives. --but not that overbearing kinda involvement, I would like for them to be able to breathe at the end of the day.


I definitely need a man that can inspire me, in many different aspects of my life. I want someone to inspire me to be the best I can be in my work, my religion, my family, and my relationship. Inspiration is definitely important to me and I hope that I can do the same for him.


Last but not least, the most important of all: a religious man. If a guy won't go to church with me, I want no part in him. I without a doubt want a Godly man. To me, a relationship won't last that's not built on a firm Godly foundation.

Ps. Dude, where are you!?


I hope some of ya'll join in, I'm excited to see what others say :) Till next time, my lovely readers...

10 Days of Digging Deeper v.1

There has been so much on my mind lately that I feel like I can't even focus on one thing for too long! Talk about madness, I feel like my mind has gone into overload. Hence me being away for a week. However I have been mad crazy at work! Anywayssss... I woke up this morning thinking to myself, how did I get here? Ya, ya I'm not talking about none of that birds and bees stuff lol. If you would've asked me five years ago if this is where I would be standing today, I would have said no.

With that being said, I've decided to start a 10 day series, "10 Days of Digging Deeper". Each day will have a different prompt that digs a little deeper into who YOU are, and how you got to that point. I've always wanted to know more about the blogs I read and I find this to be a perfect way to get to know your readers and let them get to know you a little better. Teehee :)

Without further adieu, I present to you the first prompt:
Name one of the best times in your life.

By far one of the best times I have ever had in my life was when I went on Spring Break to Panama City Beach, Florida. I have never felt so free and careless in my entire life (okay, so this could be due to the large quantity of alcohol being consumed, but that's not the point!) My mom, E, B, and I roomed together but considering that's basically college kids stomping ground during SB I knew quite a few (understatement) people. Every day we would wake up accompanied by orange juice and tylenol. Maybe after 30 minutes of us attempting to wake up we would put on our bikinis load up our coolers and travel down to the beach! Once we were at the beach, we oiled up and passed out! haha. Around 4PM we would head back up to the room to eat lunch/dinner and we would shower and get ready, with beer/martini in hand of course! After getting ready at night we would head out to the clubs (don't worry, we always had a taxi). We normally rolled in at about 4AM and then go to bed and wake up the next morning at 8AM and repeat. Sobriety was very limited the entire time but I have never had such a carefree vacation in all my life. No drama, no school, no work, nothing. Just alcohol, sun, beach, and friends. I don't think you could get a better combination then that!

Now for pictures! Warning: Picture Overload.


This is a picture we took while pregaming before heading out to the club :) Oh ps. not for children to see.


Me and one of my best friends, apparently the same night hence the shirt.


HA! Funny story about this one. One night we all drank a little too much (understatement) and we all woke up hungover. However, that night I had a dream about funneling beer so when I woke up the next morning I figured why not have the breakfast for champions! College years, what can I say?


Me and E before we headed out to soak up some sun ;)


Me and B... you like my chub? You would think that I would at least be sober enough to remember to suck in the tum tum. Obviously not. PS. If you zoom in, you can see my the tip of my tattoo on my waist line.


Pool=Love. You can't see it in this picture because it was taken too early in the morning, but there's actually three waterfalls in the pool. Ah it was BA.


The Crew


I'll stop posting pictures now before it gets graphic! HA! Just kidding, of course. Might I add that I am NOT an alcoholic. Okay, one may beg to differ at the time when we were there, but it's spring break! Everyone gets wild! lol.

Anyways, if ya'll decide to join in the 10 days of digging, feel free to leave a comment so that others can check your digging out! ha, I'm so cheesy.
