Friday Favorites Week 7

This week's prompts are:


Favorite thing about your husband/fiancé/boyfriend/significant other

Favorite restaurant (non fast food)

Favorite Children’s book


1) Favorite thing about my husband:
Don't tell him that I told you this but my husband has one or two good qualities.
I dunno if you know this about me but I'm kind of a handful.  I'm also kind of a bitch sometimes.  I'm also kind of self-absorbed.  I'm also kind of superficial and vain. My hunny is none of these things, so I guess his best quality is that he isn't me.  He is one of the kindest people I know, he is generous to a fault and forgiving.  If you guys only knew what kind of shit I've done to this man... he's pretty special. 

2) Favorite restaurant (non fast food):
The Melting Pot.  Mmmmm cheese.  Anyone wanna go?  I'm always down.

3) Favorite Children's Book:
I have many fond memories of my mom reading me stories from Uncle Wiggly's Story Book.  Ask me why I haven't bought it for Bella.  I don't have a good answer to that so I guess I'll have to fix that straightaway.

This is the edition I had!



Now as far as books that my little girl has brought home from her school llibrary, this one is my favorite. I highly recommend that anyone in search of a fun read for a little girl picks this one up!

Friday Favorites: Week 6

This week's prompts are:

• Favorite blog (and not your own)
• Favorite sport (can be one you play or watch)
• Favorite memory (past or present)

1) Favorite blog:

Yanno what, guys?  I'm so new to this blogging thing that I just love them all.  I know I'm not the best at commenting and shit like that but know that I am lurking in the shadows.  LOL

2) Favorite sport:

Extreme shopping.  Not a sport you say?  Have you ever been to a sample sale?  Nuff said.

3) Favorite memory (past or present):

The first time my little girl read an entire bedtime story to me. It was last spring. It was the most amazing thing.



So I know you're DYING to know...

Remember the salesman who wanted to set an appointment to come visit our showroom? He came by, dropped off some samples etc... and mentioned that had I not been married he would've taken me out sometime. Riiiiiight.  Men are icky.

Friday Favorites! Week 5

 

 For this week's installment of the HV Nestie Blog Challenge the prompts are:

• Favorite (or most prized) possession (must be an object, not including photos)
• Favorite holiday
• Favorite gift you've ever received or given (life doesn't count)

 1) Favorite possession:
My engagement and wedding rings. Not-so-funny story here. Just this morning I thought I lost my engagement ring. I got Isabella ready for school, put on my coat and gloves and headed out the door. Dropped her off, then headed to the post office to pick up mail for the office. Hooray for payday! Pulled off one glove and there was only a wedding band. No engagement ring.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? OMG?!?!?!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I always wear them together. Always. As a matter of fact, without my engagement ring, my wedding  band just falls off because of my weight loss. It's an eternity band so it can't be sized. I can add the little balls to the inside like my engagement ring has but haven't done it yet. AND my engagement ring has 2 of those wretched little balls soldered into it but is still a bit loose in the winter months.
FUCK ME! WHERE IS MY RING?!?!?
I called my husband in a frenzied panic. Turns out that I never had it on in the first place. Duh, Margie. Now, added to my long list of things to do this weekend is sizing my damn rings. UGH.

2) Favorite holiday:

Without question, my favorite holiday is Christmas. Sometimes people find this odd because my birthday is 3 days before Christmas. I suppose it's because those people assume that I've had a lifetime of being one-gifted. That's not the case here, I'll spare you the details of my childhood for now. LOL. Any old way, I love Christmas.

3) Favorite gift ever received or given:
In 2009 we did some construction and remodeling. Is that a weird thing to consider a gift?

"My" new kitchen and dining area

Our new living room



But most importantly, MY dressing room.



 The dressing room is a small addition built onto the house just for me. Those amazing closets are all mine. It's mine. All mine. And I love it so. I get dressed in there every morning. I put my makeup on and do my hair at my table. LOVE.
