What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Well it's Wednesday again and I am linking up with Jamie...for WILW- I just love these!

1. I'm loving the wonderful service we had at church Sunday and getting to see my momma for the holiday! We had a wonderful weekend in Alabama!

2. I'm loving that my Momma is coming here to visit this weekend! It is my Step Dad's birthday and they are coming here to watch my nieces play soccer. I know I talk about my Mom a lot but I just miss her so much- we are very close. We talk on the phone like 12 times a day!

3. I'm loving that I am finally motivated and I am on a diet of sorts. Not really a diet so much as it is trying to eat better. I have gained a few lbs since I got married and this girl is not too happy about it. I feel like a Fatty Patty! I hate all pictures of me- nothing is fitting right- and summer is almost here! I love the sun and the water and the beach and I just don't want to be all self-conscious this year during my favorite season. So I am going to lose 15-20lbs- and y'all can keep me accountable.

4. I am LOVING these pretties! I bought them yesterday from Piperlime and I cannot wait for them to come in! I get A LOT of my shoes from Piperlime and I always try and buy them on Tuesdays because every Tuesday you can get 10% off by entering TUESDAYS as a promo code. Also, Piperlime has free shipping and Free returns! BUT....I always go to the SALE section of Piperlime- not the full priced stuff!

5. I am also loving that The Royal Wedding is this Friday! I think I will record it because I will be at work. I know that it isn't a big deal to some people and it's not like it is all I'm thinking about but I just think these two are so great together. If all the stories are true- then their love story is so sweet! I wish them all the best and I can't wait to see her dress!

I hope everyone is having a great week! Happy Hump Day!

Happy Earth Day....and pretty necklace day......and Happy Easter (if I don't see you again)

Happy Earth Day folks!

Have y'all looked at the Google toolbar today- it's all cute in honor of Earth Day.

I have the day off today for Good Friday. Yayyy!  My husband and I will be heading to Alabama to see my Momma this weekend. I am so excited, yall know I love my momma!

But first I thinkI will go and do a little bit of shopping- I have to find someway to pass the time until he gets off of work- I can't spend the whole day drooling over this pretty thing....

Pretty and sparkly- Right? Well it could be yours- unless I win it.... and then it will be mine! Head on over to see Tara at Jimmy Choo's and Tennis Shoes because she is hosting an awesome giveaway for Riffraff , which is probably the cutest little boutique I've ever seen. I really wished I lived closer to it- then again, it might not be a good idea for my bank account!  ..an amazing necklace!

And....

Happy Easter if I don't see you again! I hope everyone looks pretty in your pretty Easter dresses- but more than that- Let's not forget the true meaning of Easter- It's not about bunnies and chicks and eggs and chocolate (though all those things sure are fun). It's about Jesus. Below, there is some Scripture about the Easter Story!

• Matthew 28:1-20
• Mark 16:1-19
• Luke 24:1-53
• John 20:1 – 22:25

Have a great Friday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday...

Today I am linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday.

1. I'm loving my new lip balm....It's not convenient for your pocket but it smells great and it stays on your lips a long time....I got it at Walgreen's.

2. I'm loving this sweet little girl that I got to take to soccer practice, or as she says, sah-tor practice. My little niece Matty- she just turned 3 and she is the only little girl on her team. Word for the wise: If you ever need a smile or a pick-me-up go watch three year olds play sah-tor!

3. I'm loving my new dress that came in the mail....

AE Wispy Chiffon Dress

4. And my new shoes.....

5. I'm loving that I get to see my mom this weekend!!- I live 2 hours from her and I miss her BIG!

6.  I am also loving my wonderful Husband.....

7. Last but certainly not least- I am loving this guy-

 

This is why I'm not much of a reader....

Have any of you read Water for Elephants? Well, I did.... about 2 years ago. I loved it! I could not put it down. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it got me excited....I could go on....but I won't.

I read it during what I like to call, "My reading phase of 2009," (Which also happens to be "The Skinny Summer of 2009" - but that is a different post for a different day). During this phase, I read about 5 books (you can see my phases don't last very long). I was really excited when I found out the Movie gods had decided to make a movie of my favorite book with one of my favorite actresses, Reese (yeah, we are on a first name basis).

So anyways.....the author, Sara Gruen, also wrote a book called "Ape House." I figured I would love it too. Well I don't. I'm no half way through it and I think it sucks. I don't get it. Monkey's on a reality show??



It is very disappointing to me because I want to be a "reader". I want to like to read and I really don't. I mean I love reading Perez Hilton, TMZ, and People.com (don't judge me- it's my guilty pleasure)....And I LOVE to read blogs but I just can't get excited about books. So when I get excited about a book and it lets me down like this one it really makes it hard for me to read.

I was just curious....Do I have too high of an expectation for this book? Am I missing something? Should I keep reading or am I wasting my time? Do y'all read?

P.S. If you keep reading my blog you may notice some punctuation mistakes- It's not that I don't know how to punctuate- It's that I don't care. I prefer to use ...'s (dot-dot-dot's) Please over look this. Blogging may make me a better puntuator <----is this a word?

And so it begins....

I've been an avid stalker reader of blogs for awhile now, 3 years to be exact. I've been thinking lately that I should give it a try myself.... so..... here I am!

I'm a busy girl who is a lover of many things: God- food- cooking food- clothes- shoes- my husband (most of the time)- my new house- decorating my new house- my children dogs (they came with my house)- my friends- and my mom....

Im sure this blog will be a jumbling of all these things plus some other stuff..... I'm pretty much all over the place, so follow me- if you can keep up ;-)
