I'm sorry I put such a hurtin' on you last night.

But- In my defense- I got cute stuff!!

Dear Christmas?!?!

SLOW IT DOWN!!

While I am super excited for you,

Let me enjoy Fall!!

Dear Men:

Wanna know a secret??

A little cologne goes a LONG way with me!!

(I went looking at perfumes last night and spent more time smelling the mens than finding one I liked for me)

((There's something about a good smellin' man!!))

*This one captivated me*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

This week’s statements:
1. when I was little I was called _Stacylouwho and Sweet Pea- ok who am I kidding, I'm still called these__
2. _Crystal Light Sugar Free Hard Candies__are my favorite candy
3. If I could have one magical power it would be_to read minds!! That would be the best EVER_____
4. If I could go back to school it would be to become a _model! I know superficial and can't really go to school for it- but I LOVE having my picture taken!!________   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

1.  My first memory is     going into my "Grannys" house to be watched in the mornings before I started K4   .

2.  My first love was  my dad. Yeah- I told him when I got older he had to divorce my mom and marry me- He did divorce her, but the latter of that ain't happening! LOL     .

3.  My very first favorite color was    pink!! "Pink is my signature color" (bonus points if you know that movie) I LOOOOVED all things pink- still do!! .

4. The first time I really felt like a "grown-up" was when     There are times I'm still not convinced I'm a grown-up!!  .

5. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is  lay in bed and check my phone. It wakes up my eyes and I see what I missed on Facebook (obsessed much) .

6. The first CD (cassette tape, record, etc...) I ever bought was   the first I bought?? I think it was Amy Grant  .

7.  My first car was  a 1995 Chevy Astro Van. WHAT WHAT!! That thing was a TANK!! Luckily it didn't last long b4 I got my Subaru  .

 

That's all ladies and gents! Have a fabulous weekend! I plan to! :-)

Random Thursday Thoughts Time!!

How many times to I say it and how often do I write:

I LOVE MY LIFE!!

No, I promise, there's nothing super spectacular going on and I haven't won the lottery or fallen in love (yet)

BUT- I am so happy!

I love that I look around my life, my job, my home, my friends and family and can't help but smile!

I am blessed beyond measure and so undeserving!!

God is Good GREAT!

So, in ranting about my happy little life...

I'll switch up my order today!

I love walking this thing and tho it takes some gas to get over there- the feeling I get at the top of the bridge is just fabulous!! I'm going to start going a minimum of once a week!

{1}

Let's talk heels!

As I'm pulling out some of my boots that are yes, stilettos- I'm remembering that the high heel part is almost or totally gone. Should I throw them out and get new shoes or find somewhere to repair them?!

Don't get my wrong, I love the idea of buying new shoes, but my wallet doesn't always!!

{2}

I seriously need to get my nails done ASAP!!

I didn't want to while I did the house clean sweep- but now- OUCH!!

{3}

I am LOVING this cooler temp!

I know, I know! I whined about it a few weeks ago- but once the wardrobe got on board, I was all for it!

{4}

With the cooler temps comes the promise of fun, fall activities!!

Fright Nights, Halloween Extravaganzas, Fair!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

{5}

This makes me laugh!!

I LOVE this movie!!

Am I right? Am I right?!

Be a man, rub some dirt in it!!

{6}

Tell me these aren't some FABULOUS ladies!!

This is from my 21st birthday!!

CRAY-CRAY!!

We are all still friends and planning a night out this weekend!

Love these women!!

(Yes I was extra fluffy)

{7}

Lipsticks!

I started using this cute pink for summer, but am thinking of going back to my darker bronze type for fall/winter... Do you change your makeup colors for the season?

{8}

I need a new book to read!

I'm rereading the 50 Shades books and I'm on #3.

I may reread Breaking Dawn for the third time for the movie release.

I need something new! I like romance, funny, witty books.

I heard about 1 I'm looking into called "White Girl Problems"

Any other suggestions?

{9}

My Facebook is overloaded with people getting sick!

Stay away!!

I do not want and can not afford to be sick!!

(But I do hope you get better) :-D

Weekend Recap Blog Hop

Hello Darlings!

Another weekend has come and gone!

How was yours??

Mine was one of those GREAT weekends again!

I love when I can't wipe the smile off my face!!

Sar is hosting a new link up today called:

"This Weekend I"

and I'm linking that up to my normal Monday linkups with Ashlee and Savannah:

And Sami:

This Weekend I,

Finished cleaning my WHOLE house!

It looks sooo good!

It's so nice to come home to!

*someones contribution to my cleaning*

This Weekend I,

Found a new love!

Thank you Netflix and my roomie for introducing me to:

I am halfway through the first season and have the rest of the week to get caught up before Sunday's premiere!! I'm LOVING this show!!

This Weekend I,

Watched my Gamecocks Win and the Tigers LOSE!!

WHAT WHAT!!

 

Oh how pretty!!

*when I showed this pic to mom she said, "is he praying?" I said no, he was in shame!!*

This Weekend I,

Wore a dress I hadn't worn in a while and snapped a pic (shocker) to see the difference in a few months!

It was a LOT tighter before! IDK that you can tell the dif, but I felt it!

I know I am a self-pic queen- but I am just so happy!!

This Weekend I,

Went out dancing!!

I love love love shakin my booty!

It's the BEST workout!!

 *I love the photographers in the clubs/bars that take pictures for you*

*On the bar for Kayla's BDAY! Then I ran into my friend Becky and brought her on the bar!*

*Fun times with my friend Rhett*

This Weekend I,

Has a wonderful Sunday with my mom!

Starting with Church,

 Then lunch,

And some damage to my debit card!!

I had to go get some of the $19 colored Skinnys from Old Navy!

I'm loving how they look and can't wait to find some heels to wear with!!

I also found this cutie, but can't decide if it's too short!

Mom says yes without leggins- thoughts??

Yes I bought strictly b/c it was Garnet for my Gamecocks!!

This Weekend I,

Realized AGAIN how much I love my church family!

I am going to a bi-weekly small group where I am young enough to be everyones child and somes grandchild and they are still so wonderful! They all love me like their own!!

How was your weekend?

Link up and share!
