"A Quickie"


Okay heres the deal.

I had a great post planned for today. But, I woke up in a cold sweat at 6:55 (THX E!!) & realized:
I MOVE 1,000+mi (w.a toddler) IN 7 DAYS & HAVEN'T PACKED A SINGLE BOX! SHIT.
So I called my (ex)college picked up my OFFICIAL transcripts. Finished one of the two apps I needed for UCF & I am working on the second one. The second one is a little more in depth (Im applying to, two diff. programs b/c I can't do them BOTH @ UCF b/c they suck.) I am doing them BOTH now, though. I am sad I will have to pick soon. But I digress. 

So from now until I hit FL ground I most likely will not be around much. I will be in and out reading, YALL KEEP ME SANE, and of course commenting as much as I can. 

Dont forget... my birthday is THURSDAY, JUNE 17TH!!!

I will post what I had planned for today in two weeks once I am home and settled. 

Once I am home lots of things will be going on: My cousin Missy's 2nd baby (A GIRL) Ellie is due June 19th (she better not come early I will cry), TOY STORY 3 w.My favs (Ashley, Mallory & Hayls & possibly my mama) That will be E's FIRST MOVIE THEATER MOVIE!!, Bubba comes home from Deployment at the end of the month (I do believe this is correct), E& I get to GO BACK TO CHURCH- HALLELUJAH! & June 25th will mark 365days till the day I am getting married!!! Planning will have to begin!! Hayls, my MOH & I have already been kind of talking about plans. *EXCITED* ABOUT JUNE!!!

oh yah...

Dont forget... my birthday is THURSDAY, JUNE 17TH!!!

I love yall... see ya in the BEAUTIFUL FL SUN!!!!

"Mommy and Me"

[still on "Hiatus" be back later this week... maybe. If not NEXT week for sure!]


This is different this my usual "Not Me Monday" but I did steal get the idea from Hailey over @ Be Serious (which is where I got the idea for "NMM")... who stole get the idea from Krystyn .

Enjoy this... I will be alternating this & "Not Me Monday" Gotta have some variety!

Welcome to Mommy & Me Monday hosted by Krystyn . Here is what Mommy & Me Monday is all about...

Krystyn writes... "So, I am starting up a “Mommy and Me Monday.” I am challenging you to get at least a picture of yourself with you child, or children once a week. Then, on Mondays, you post that “Mommy and Me” picture with or without a story or fun anecdote about you and that child (not necessarily relating to the picture, just about you and the subject of that picture)."


Me & my "twinykin" -- Don't mind my dark circles/ tired look, this is just 12hrs after being on a (veryyyy delayed) plane from PA to FL. We're @ Miss Mal's 3rd bday party!!

"Happy Award"


Katie over @ From If to When did this a few weeks ago & she "awarded" it to anyone who wanted to do it.

[This is a pre-scheduled post, while I am on my SB hiatus- b/c I don't like the idea of my blog sitting stagnant for like 2 weeks.]

...

Here are the "rules":
1. Copy and paste the award.
2. Link to the person who sent it to you.
3. List 10 things that make you happy.
4. Nominate other bloggers and stop by their blogs to let them know.

...

1. My beautiful daughter & watching her learn/grow DAILY- She really is all I need to smile. Hearing her say "Mommy" or "Mama" does it for me. Her dialect is getting so advanced & she really is developing more & more of her own personality lately that it blows my mind & I still can't wrap my brain around the fact that in 2.5 weeks she will be 2 y/o.

2. My wonderful fiancée- He is so supportive of my goals and dreams! He reminds me constantly (b/c I need to hear it) that: "We're in this together" - We've been friends for close to 4 years now, Ive been in love with him nearly that long [sign number 5,976,753,964,540,143 I shouldn't have married GD - I digress] we're not perfect, no one is but, I am so lucky to get to marry one of my bestfriends. Not to mention what a great father he has been to E. I couldn't have asked for a better daddy. God choose him. We might not have created her together, but he was meant to be her daddy [Thx Elizabeth!!! ]

3. My Family- I wouldn't be the person I am today w/o them. I LOVE my family so much. Being in PA makes me realize how much I really do miss & love them. MG just turned 5, Des is 10 gong on 25, Lukers is almost 3! Missy is pregnant w.Ellie!! I hate not being around for all of this. E misses her "wuke" & Mila & Des. Not to mention her other friends... "Malwory" & "Pia". She hasn't even met little Scarlett. I grew up around a lot of family (blood & church) I want that for her & M is not a baptist and refuses to go to a Baptist church w.me & I don't want to go alone so In PA I don't go to church. I worship alone. I miss the feeling I get from being in Gods house and the uplifting message I get from service. I will be home for good soon. I. Hope.

4. The Color Purple- It's my all time fave. Since Oct my nails have been [almost black] PURPLE. I love it. I search for purple clothing of any kind, if its a good deal, I usually buy it. I am not bias on the shade either, although the darker the better.

5. My favorite show... Mercy- It's full of Laughs & WIN. I like the Good Wife & Criminal Minds too. -- Actually I have a huge LIST (im a list maker... obsessed actually, since HS) of ALL the MANY shows I watch. Its SAD, Im not gunna lie. I have, NO. LIFE. It all started when i was put on bed-rest when I was pregnant OVER 2yrs ago!!

6. The Tanning Bed- As bad as as it is for me I am [slightly] addicted. Esp. now that Im in PA its def. a necessity.

7. Reading- I love it. I am a Kindle mommy. I have red tons on my Kindle. I have Kindle on my iPhone (not a huge fan, too small). I love actual print books too. Certain authors I HAVE to buy in print. I don't read as much as used to/ would like to anymore .

8. Sudoku- The ONLY thing w.numbers I enjoy. Also stared while I was pregnant, or slightly before. I can't remember. I like to do it before bed to wind down... which is when I used to read!!! Theres the culprit.

9. A good cup of coffee [homemade or coffeeshop]- I am a fan- I am not real picky about where it comes from. I have to have 1-2 cups a day or I am a total bitch. I get a raging migraine. Yes. Even If I drink a 2-liter. Coffee is different. I love coffee a night & NO it will not keep me up. I am lucky? or cursed?

10. SUNSHINE- I am from FL. I worship it. I MISS it. It is beautiful, it makes me smile.


**Like Katie, If you want to do this, I pick YOU!!!, what makes YOU happy?**

"Hiatus"



As most of you know I am in graduate school, a perk? Spring Break.

I am going back home to FL (Thank God!), to visit my family (& friends) for 12 days. I miss them so much.

I will be going to TWO birthday parties: Miss Mal is 3 (So excited to see Ash & Mal) & My niece is 5!! Going to eat TONS of JJ w.my girls- Getting my hair & nails done (long overdue)- Going to see my Dr to make sure my cyst isn't back- Spending time w.my family- booking my church for my WEDDING (for June of 2011- I know its advanced but June is the peak of wedding season and venues book fast!!) I am so excited to be going home.

Needless to say I will not be blogging. I have 1-2 scheduled little nothing blogs set.

I have a HUGE paper, also known as "The Monster" if you follow my Tweets you've seen me mention it, due RIGHT AFTER SPRING BREAK! Its one of TWO grades in one of my classes, so I am super stressed. I am almost done w.it but its not done yet.

I will announce the winner of my giveaway during my "Hiatus" -- Normally I am more organized but w/school and my trip I have been frazzled, beyond belief.

I am sorry to those who have entered, I feel like I have failed and let my readers down. :( but, Life happens and I know yall know that. My family & school come before the blog. I love yall so much though.

I should be back in the swing of things the week of March 29th (Maybe sooner depending on how life goes).



...

I will miss you guys.
