Before I get started in on my Random-ness. I just wanted to share my sister's blog with everyone... Read about her weight loss adventure. Jenny's blog.

• I want to Thank everyone for reading, commenting and following me. I greatly appreciate the fact that someone/anyone wants to read about my thoughts and stories of my life.
• I've been trying to read a book every month.. It was part of this past year's New Years Resolution.
• January was "Gone for Good" by Harlan Coben, February was "Mommywood" by Tori Spelling, March was "Pursuit" by Karen Robard, April was "Hold Tight" by Harlan Coben, May was "Obsession" by Karen Robard, June was "Chelsea, Chelsea, Bang, Bang" by Chelsea Handler, July was "Shattered" by Karen Robard, August was "Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir of Kathy Griffin" by Kathy Griffin... I skipped September, October and November because I just couldn't get into the book I was trying to read. BUT then I started to read James Patterson and have been hooked ever since!
• I have been reading "Kiss the Girls:" by James Patterson. So, we decided to rent the movie.. It sucks compared to the book. I hate when I get all excited about something and it lets me down.
• I'm done with Christmas shopping!
• Tonight, I'm clearing off the dinner table, popping open a bottle (or two) of wine and having myself a wrapping party!
• I probably won't write these next few days because I plan to be busy with Christmas Festivities.

I hope everyone has a great and safe Christmas!

I'm going to be completely honest. I've been really frustrated lately about my work situation. Coy being on break and knowing we have this Christmas and next Christmas break together, before who knows when we get another entire Christmas together. Also, my entire family is off all weekend (some all week), and most of my friends are off. I have never felt like it was so unfair... I've never had to work a Christmas! I used to never have to work a Sunday (I used to work Saturdays, but we were closed Sundays at Lavish). I also rarely worked past 7pm... I feel worn out, stressed out and I want a baby (thought I'd add that in there). I don't want to work 2 jobs anymore! My morning job is so early for how late I work the night before, but it pays well. I love my night job, but I hate working so late. I can't quit either, because I need the money... It's hard when you've always been handed things and then you grow up and find out that it's not easy making a house payment. My mom worked so hard when I was growing up. Sometimes I'd feel like I never got to see her... I respect her so much for that but I still don't want to do what she did... Since I'm being completely honest, I'll tell you that I'm fine with being a full time mom until my children are in school and then, I plan to go back to school (something my mom wasn't able to do). I can't wait for that time in my life. BUT I don't want Coy feeling like I'm a mooch. He has always been a hard worker in his work, in school and everything else in his life. Me, on the otherhand? Not so much. I feel like my decision to be a mom over my will to work is very selfish of me. So many other women are forced to work when their children are little, but I choose not to.
You like how I ran two subjects together? Me too. Thanks for reading my ramble. Also, please check out my recipes on my other blog, Foodies Anonymous.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas week!

Random Wednesday: Christmas Edition

• I'm dreaming of a white Christmas (it snowed last year).


• It's supposed to be 54 degrees on Christmas Eve with 0% precipitation so we won't see snow.


• I'm off Christmas Eve and then work Christmas. I've never had to work a Christmas before.


• I'm about half way done with my Christmas shopping... I wanted to be done and just be wrapping this weekend but nope!


• I've never been kissed under a mistletoe... but I always see how awkward/romantic they make it in movies and have always dreamt of it one day happening to me.


• It was actually once believed that if you weren't kissed under the mistletoe you wouldn't be able to wed in the upcoming year... I hope it happens to me this year since I'm suppose to get married May 28


• I hate eggnog.


• I hate when people write "XMAS" because like my Mamaw always says "don't take Christ out of Christmas"

My Christmas Eve/Christmas Schedule (because I know everyone is dying to know my plans):

Christmas Eve- 10am: Head over to Papaw & Mamaw's for our big Christmas breakfast and to open gifts with my Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, and thier wives and kids.

2pm: Head to Fort Smith to see Coy's family and exchange gifts with them.

8pm: Head home. Followed by sleep...

Christmas- 8am: Christmas at my Mom's. Breakfast and exchanging gifts with my mom, sister and my sister's boyfriend.

11am- WORK

5pm- Dinner and gifts with my love!

The first full weekend is January we have to head back up to Fort Smith for our other Christmas Celebrations... The past few months have been extremely busy for us. I feel like everytime I turn around I have to find someone to watch the dogs again. My poor babies.

Well, I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!! Thanks for reading.

Random Wednesday on a Tuesday

Hello Readers!!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did. I had a much needed break from both jobs for 6 days and I obviously took a break from blogging too… Just a few random things I’d like to mention

1. I started Weight Watchers Sunday and I have already lost 2lbs… I’m determined to lose this weight because never in my life have I been this heavy. I have been between 110lbs. and 120lbs. from age 13 to age 20 and now I’m approaching 140 as I approach my 23^rd birthday… I want to live a healthy lifestyle before I have children and have to teach my children a healthy lifestyle… Just in case you are thinking 140lbs is not bad. I became overweight on my BMI scale when I weighed 125. I am only 5’0” tall and I need to get my weight under control before it goes any further… Plus I want to be skinny on my wedding day!

2. I won $200.00 on Vacation!

3. Christmas is in 25days. I have started my Christmas shopping but there is still a ton more to get done. Have you started yours?

4. We bought a new washer and dryer… Kinda as a Christmas gift to each other (even though it went on Coy’s card, not a mutual one. Lol). Our dryer has been broken for awhile. We’ve had it fixed but a month later it started crapping out again. It takes 4 hours to dry things… It’s awful!

5. I met my Wedding Coordinator over the weekend and she is a ditz. We set the appointment 2 months ago, yet she was 15 minutes late after I told her we were on a tight schedule and extremely unprepared. Our conversation:

HER- “So, you came to see the Spa Wall?”

ME- “Well, we’ve already seen it but sure! We wouldn’t mind seeing it again. But what I really came for was to get the final details completed like my flowers and aisle runner?”

She hands me a brochure

ME- “I’ve already seen this and know exactly what I want”

HER- “Oh! So, you’ve set a date?”

ME- “Yes, we signed a contract”

HER- “Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s in my office somewhere”

That’s just a little taste of how our morning went with her. She also told us our reception package would be $750.00 not including the food, turns out the space is $3,000.00… Boy, was she off! Goodness Gracious! I’m not trying to be a bridezilla, I just want to know that on May 28, she isn’t going to say something like “Oh yes, the Smith Family!” and I’m like “Who are they?”

Well, thanks for reading!!

Random Wednesday

Hello All.

I have tried my very hardest not to cut my hair even though it is getting longer and less cute I've tried to be strong and keep it long for Coy's and my wedding in May, so I can do a great updo... BUT recently I have hated the way I look in nearly ever picture because I hate my hair so VERY VERY MUCH... Just look how cute my hair USED to be.

So, I'm chopping it back off like as soon as I can get in somewhere... the thing is, I've been trying to find a new hair person for awhile and just haven't had very good luck.

• It's 21 days till Vegas for Coy's Thanksgiving break!
• It's 1 month and 22 days till Christmas!
• It's 2 months and 24 days till my birthday!
• I marry the man of my dreams in 6months and 25 days!!!

There is your Random Wednesday! Have a great rest of the week.

Random Wednesday

Today’s Random Wednesday is inspired by two other blogs I read…

What have I Google'd lately?

1. Giant Ant Insects- Coy found a bug in the house and claimed it was a grasshopper, but I swear to you it was a ginormous ant. So, I decided to Google “Giant Ant Insects”

2. Money Tree Plant Care- We own a money tree and it has grown so much over the summer ever since we moved it outside but recently the nights have become cooler so I decided to move it inside but now it’s beginning to die. So, I was hoping this would help, but it didn’t the tree is still dying. Any suggestions?

3. Curly hair styles- I’m sick of my hair… I used to love taking pictures but nowadays I hate my hair so much that I hate the way I look. I want long hair for my wedding but gosh it’s such a mess!!

4. Fall Fashion for 2010- Well, I needed inspiration and I knew Google could lead me the right directions.

My Tentative Christmas Wish List… I haven’t decided where from yet, but I know I want them.

1. Espresso Machine

2. Nice, non-girly Sheets (almost all my sheets have hot pink on them)

3. Curtains for our kitchen (the people in the apartments behind us can see right in to our kitchen and have been known to watch us eat dinner)

4. A new rug for our living room (I bought one for $20 three years ago and now it is beginning to look thin and worn out).

Have a great Wednesday!!
