Happy New Year!

 New Years eve I was once again privileged to spend with Katie Marie and her family! Originally I was going to babysit so her and the hubs could go out to dinner and then we'd have our movie night but Roberto wasn't feeling well so he stayed in bed and Katie and I had a girls night (with the bubbies) I thought my outfit was cute alo it's really dark in this pic. A blue striped sweater and skinny jeans!
 This year we have a new bubbie to the mix! Ben did great on his first new years and was a great cuddler with me! We had pizza hut, and then watched Made of Honor, one of our fave movies, a reality show on TLC which I just can't even go into. words can't express. seriously. And of course we switched over to Dick Clark's New Year's rockin eve.. This is prolly my fave part of our nye tradition because we make fun of everyone on there, hello lady gaga i'm talking to you! Since we both primarily listen to Christian Music and KLOVE we usually have NO CLUE who these ridiculous people are but it makes for great entertainment!

 By far the funniest thing this year was brought on by a report I saw on CNN earlier that afternoon. I had no clue that once people got to Time Square they went into shutes and were unable to USE THE BATHROOM for the rest of their time there untill midnight. Crazy. Just crazy. Well I had to share that with Katie and much hilarity ensued. Such as Katie's FABULOUS comment about what would happen after the ball dropped "The running of the bladders" oh I laughed and laughed and laughed some more. We were dying. And I will admit that during the 2 hours we watched the show we both went to the bathroom twice. I swear everytime i saw the crowds I just felt like i had to pee. poor poor people..
And don't even get me on Dick Clark. Bless his heart he was as tan as Snooki!

It was super fun and I love that Katie and I can just die laughing over one word or two. The power of a close and long friendship! I look forward to many more New Year's eve's with her!! Happy 2012!!

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

Blue Monday!

Today's Festive Blue Monday outfit! I wore my tried and true trouser jeans, a short sleeved beaded top I got on clearance at Macy's of all places for 6 bucks!! And my awesome new jeweled flats! Sooo comfy and cute! Since it was in the 60's today I was able to get away with this warmer weather outfit! Beading on the top, I love it! Shoes, so ugly they are cute!!

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
