Good Times.

Today was a good day, though I had a rough start. Good news is the chicken pox are gone!

Sing it with me, "Ding dong the pox are gone...dada da da""

Yesterday was rough stuff! I worked from 9 am - 1:30 am Friday and I was pooped! Tim finished the huge job he was working on too, so today was a nice day off for both of us. But getting out of bed this morning...OY! I thnk instead of having a crick in my neck I had a crick in everything else. Moving was rough! Once I got to moving and got a nice hot shower in things started getting better.

I got dressed and all gussied up and headed for casa de la Tim. He had some shopping to do and asked if I wanted to go. Um, hellooooo? Is that even a question that needs to be asked? Of COURSE I'll come shopping with you! There's nothing I love more than giving my unsolicited opinion!!!

After shopping and errands we had a suuuuuper late lunch at Mercado Juarez...nummy nummy nummy! We had the fajitas for two with chicken and beef. We ate til we were miserable and still had tons of left-overs. Score!

Tim is so kind, he bought me a new pair of sunglasses and endured taking me into Petsmart. I'm a big "ooooh and awwwww!"-er. Every other step in that store I found something cute to admire. The whole time he's looking at harnesses for Clyde and talking to me about all the different features he's hearing me act like a 10 year old girl. "Look at the puppy Tim! Did you see the puppy?! Wasn't it cute? .....Yes it was. I don't care what you say it was precious. Did you see that dog go down the slide?!?!"

I guess I should explain that they were holding a Diggie Day Camp today and one of the walls was solid glass where you could peek in. They had a fisher price little plastic play fort the puppies to climb in and there was a little black dog that loved the slide. It was so presh!!!

After Petsmart we headed to Tim's house again for a movie night.

It was a great day and a nice break from being stuck inside all the time and getting away from the stress. I'm so glad he's able to handle me. :p

On another note;  I miss my grandparents. I think I'll call my grandma tomorrow just to chit chat.

RanDUMB Moments

Although most people know that I am the queen of finding good deals, back when I first became a Christian, I had a very well paying job and LOVED splurging on myself. Price was usually an afterthought. Crazy, huh? I'm glad that my attitude about money has been transformed! Thank you, LORD!

I had a super cute pair of shoes made by a fancy designer. The name of which is not important. Possibly because I'm ashamed of the ridiculous price tag these shoes had. I also had an adorable pair of pink heels from Target. Under $30 -holla!!

This story is already getting randumb, huh? Well, that was a little information you needed before I could share with you the actual story.

One Sunday I woke up in a frenzy. I slept in. LATE. I don't do late. I HATE being late, especially for church! I jumped out of bed and sped through my morning routine. I slapped on my make up. Arranged my hair in some sort of quick up-do. Got dressed into the first outfit I saw in my closet. Hopped into my shoes. Swung my purse over my shoulder, snatched up my Bible and flew out the door.   { I'm sure I brushed my teeth somewhere in there. :/ }

By some miracle I managed to catch all green lights on the way to church. Whew! I pulled up to the church at 9:59 a.m. BAM! I'd be taking my seat juuust in time for the start of worship service. I opened my car door and swung my leg out to climb out of my car...Ohhhhhmigoodness!!! I'm wearing two different shoes!!!! How did this happen?! It's not like it was two black shoes that looked similar. No. This was a cute, expensive, sleek black pump that cost a small fortune and a cheap, hot pink peep-toe shoe! Whaaaa? The only similarity between them wehre that the heels were the same height.

I was so amused with myself. I thought it was hilarious! But then I got to thinking, I've only known these people for a month or two....what will they think? You know how us women get. Whatever. I just shrugged it off, pulled my shoulders back, held my head high and marched into that church like nothing was wrong.

I think was the first glimpse everyone got of the real me. It was funny, and I got ribbed about it for a few months, but it was all in good fun.


What got to me was this one question: How could I not feel the difference between a $27 pair of shoes from target and a high end pair of heels?!

Things that make ya go hmmmmm....

Tuesday Ten List

Wow! What a crazy week I've had. Super long story short, I have chicken pox! Eeek! For the 2ND TIME!!! D: So I've been on the mend for a week. This week's list will be 10 things you may not know about me.

Soooo hold on to your hat....here we go!

1. I craft. A lot. I'm planning on posting some of the stuff I am making soon.
2. I am super clumsy, I really do trip or fall over something at least once a day.
3. I haven't always had a snort when I laugh. It's actually a result from some surgery I had when I was 15.
4. Until I needed emergency surgery in 10th grade, I NEVER missed a day of school in my life.
5. I do not own anything yellow. Strange, huh?
6. I'm addicted to Diet Coke and can't stand Dr. Pepper
7. I own an insane amount of blankets. If you ever need a gift idea for me...you can never go wrong with blankets! {My birthday is in 28 days...hint hint*}
8. I have never been out of the country. But I do want to go to Israel super bad after hearing all about Tim's trip.
9. I love to read. Really. I'd rather stay at home and read than go out.
10. I'm VERY sensitive. My skin isn't very thick at all, I'm working on it though!

Here's a couple of pictures of how I found Clyde when I came over yesterday. There was a shirt left on top of his kennel that he decided would make a nice snack before trying it on himself. HA!

Please leave me a comment sharing some things people may not know about you! I'd love to learn more about you!

A Different Kind of Birthday

It's my birthday next month. I try hard and show great restraint by not rolling my eyes at women my age complaining about getting "older." Huh?!?!? I will be 27! That is not old at allllll! And like my grandfather taught me about getting older....it sure beats the alternative! So, I'm going to go against the grain for my birthday this year. Instead of complaining about getting older and having a pity party, I am going to celebrate! I am going to be sharing the joy of being 27 by performing 27 random acts of kindness. I'm so excited to do this and would love it if you have any ideas you'd like to share. I will be posting what I do as time goes by. The deadline is my birthday, May 31st.

I'm so excited to get this started!!

It's a dogs life!

I don't have children. Which is pretty evident by the amount of pictures I take of my puppy. But I love this little guy and probably treat him a little too much like a baby. But, shhhhh, don't tell anyone I said that...It'll be our little secret, ok?

This is Clyde with one of my mom's dogs. Her name is Toots and she must have been so stinkin tired to have shared the pillow with Clyde. He's a litte too rowdy for her sometimes so she tends to steer clear of him. But once he's all tuckered out he's all cuddles, how could she resist?!

 They started off on seperate ends....but every few minutes Clyde would scooch over a little bit until they looked like this:

Say it with me, "AWWWW!"

Tuesday's Ten List

I'm going to try to do something new to motivate me to keep up with my blog. So, from now on {fingers crossed} every Tuesday I'll post a "Ten List" on whatever topic comes to mind. This week it's...dun dada dunnnn;

Top 10 Things I'm Planning Right Now

1. Tonight is my first Mary Kay party! EEEeeeek! I'm so excited and nervous! Right now I'm making last minute adjustments.

2. Vacation Bible School, it is going to be here before I know it!! Right now trying to tackle as much as possible and recruiting people that want to serve!! You, maybe? ;)

3. My birthday is next month and I've got something awesome in mind, I'll post more about that tomorrow. Eh, who are we kidding....I'll be lucky if I even get it in this week. :P Just stay tuned, it's coming soon, I promise.

4. New curriculum for the kids at my church. We just started a new series on Wednesdays nights, but I'm looking into and praying about what to cover next. God is doing AMAZING things with

5. New study material for my Connect Group that I lead. Right now there are three different things we are looking at to do after what is planned next. I'm super excited!

I Heart Deliveriesl!

Espcially when it's my Mary Kay Starter Kit that was delivered a day early! SWEET!!!

After speaking with my director on Saturday morning, she told to to expect my starter kit to be delivered on Tuesday. {bummer!} I have this thing where as soon as I order something online, I want it NOW! I know, I'm like a kid waiting for Santa Claus. So, in the middle of all my, "busy work" on Monday I went outside to get something out of my car and....:

 WAHOO!!!! It's here and it was early! Boomshaka-laka! I couldn't wait to rip it open and play with learn about all my new products.

 Look at all the cool stuff!!!

  Clyde however could care less, he's pouting on his bed next to his towel since I gave him a bath.

I've already scheduled my debut party and can't wait! Right now I'm waiting for the RSVPs. So far I have one. My Aunt Becky. I'm glad my she'll be there, I miss her so much and I know she'll love Mary Kay! I'm hoping to get a lot of people in. I'm so excited to be starting this!
