Top 2 Tuesday....Stores!

If you'd like to join in, just click the link below!  I look forward to this post each week now.  :)



This is another tough one for me, though.  I love me some shopping, so picking just 2 stores is hard!   These 2 would definitely be the stores that I spend the most time at, though.

1.  Express - It's my go-to store for everything work related, and casual clothes.

2.  Target - My absolute favorite store to wander around for hours at.  It has anything and everything you need...I love it.

AW: 5 more days....

and I will be in sunny Florida!!  :D 

Seriously, I don't think this vacation could come at a better time.  I've had it up to here *lifts hand as high as it can go* with work, and some of the girls I work with....I can't even take it anymore.  Get me the eff outta that place!

My mom recently bought a house in Port Charlotte (right outside of Ft. Myers on the west coast), so we're going down there to see her house, and relax for 5 days.  And, I'm so excited, too (if you couldn't tell!), because I'm going to my very first Red Sox spring training game!!  Woot woot!  I'm a huge Sox fan, and I'm hoping I get lucky and can get an autograph or two while we're there....hey, a girl can dream, right??  ;)
Other than that, we'll hopefully be spending 2 or 3 days at the beach (if the weather stays warm!), and maybe driving up to Disney World for one day....we'll see!  I just can't wait for sun, sand, and palm trees....my favorite!

Oh, and just another exciting part of our trip....I'm going to be ovulating while we're there!  Honestly, I was super excited about this at first, but, then I really started thinking about it......how the heck are hubby and I going to get some 'alone' time while hanging with my MOM for 24/7, 5 days straight?!  lol  Any suggestions???  I'll take any tips you lovely ladies have to offer.  :)

Anyways....here's just a few pics to get myself even more excited than I already am:

 

*5 questions*

My girl, Mandy (and Miss Fashionista!  ;) )@ What's new with Mrs. T tagged me in a fun post.....you're asked 5 questions, and you have to give 5 answers to each question.  I love fun posts like these....it helps get to know people better!  And, check out her fabulous blog!  :)

Question 1:  Where were you 5 years ago?

~  One week ago today, I went out on my first date with my husband....awww.  :)

~  Working as a bartender/server @ Chili's....where I actually met my hubby.  (he was my manager!)

~  Living at home with my mother....who drove me crazy!  lol

~  Living the restaurant/bar life....sleeping until 12 every day, working until 10/11pm every night, going to the bar every night after work, and sometimes not coming home until 5 or 6am.  It was definitely fun times!  I could never do it now, though.  haha

~  Looking to find Mr. Right.  Thankfully, I got lucky!

Question 2:  What is (was) on your to-do list today?

~  Well, since it's Saturday, I didn't really have much of a to-do list....so, here are just some things I did today.

~  Laundry

~  Helped DH add the faucet to the shower, so I can finally take a bath in our new shower....woohoo!

~  Slept in.....ahhhhh, it was great!

~  Now, relaxing, blogging, and catching up on my DVR'ed shows with a glass of wine.  

Question 3:  What 5 snacks do you enjoy?

~  Chips, chips, and more chips!  lol  I'm a chipaholic.  

~  Apples/celery/carrots and peanut butter

~  Pretzels

~  Cheese and Wheat Thins

~  Tostitos and guacamole

Question 4:  Name 5 places you have lived.

~  Shelton, CT....born and raised

~  Orlando, FL....Disney Internship in college for 4 months

Unfortunately, I haven't moved around too much in my life.  I've lived in different parts of Shelton, and with different family members, but that's about it.  Pretty boring! 

Question 5:  What 5 things would you do if you were a billionaire?

~  Pay off our mortgage and buy a nice house for DH and our family

~  Pay off my car....and hopefully be able to buy a nice SUV, my 'mom' car.  ;)

~  Plan an exotic vacation for DH and I to go on before we have babies  :)

~  Shopping, of course!

~  Put the rest away for bills, future college fund, savings, etc.

5 bloggers I tag are:

Kendra @ Waiting for Baby M

Sam @ Life is Beautiful 

Annie @ Our Little Family 

Melissa @ Love, Marriage, and (Someday) A Baby Carriage! 

Neely @ Chronicles of Neely 

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  :)

Like my new ticker??

It's in honor of the fact that, this cycle I am 99% sure that I will be O'ing when we're in FL in 2 weeks!  Woohoo!  Hopefully I can make a vacation baby.  I know if it were me, I'd much rather start my existence into this world in warm, sunny, palm tree filled Florida....rather than cold, snowy, dreary CT!  ;) 

See?  More positive thinking!  I like it....it feels much better than sulking.   

It's not looking so good

My temp took a serious nosedive this morning, and the spotting is back in action....soooo, I'm thinking no baby for me this month.  :( 

Sorry, this day had been downhill since I woke up this morning and saw my stupid temperature.  So, I'm feeling sorry for myself for a little bit, and will probably go buy a large bottle of wine on the way home from work today....seeing as how I've had only like, 2 drinks this entire 2ww (and that was only b/c it was Valentine's Day/our 5 year 'dating' anniversary).  So much for that!

*throws myself a pity party*

Anyways....I promise I'll be better and more positive tomorrow.  I just need a day to let it all digest and cry it out.  On to cycle number 4!!  I know a few people that have gotten pregnant on their 4th cycle, so maybe I'll have similar luck.  And, trust me...I know 4 cycles is not long at all to be trying, and that many people have tried for much, much longer with no such luck.  But, with pregnancy/babies being on my mind 24/7 now, every day feels like an eternity. 

Only 2 more days until Friday, right?!  That's positive.  ;)

Top 2 Tuesday!!

And, I'm LOVING this week's category!  :)  It's definitely a tough one, though.  I have sooo many tv shows that I love and watch (such a guilty pleasure),  I don't know how I'm going to pick just two!  But, I'm going to have to try.

And, thankfully we were allowed to pick some runner ups!  ;)  So, here are mine....in no particular order:

LOST

House

Big Brother

Bad Girls Club

The Bachelor 

90210

Annnnd, this list goes on and on.  Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Only 3 more days until Friday!  :D

Giveaway Monday!

Hey ladies!  I just wanted to share with you some fabulous giveaways going on this week!

Sam (and fellow Connecticut-ian...hehe) over at Life Is Beautiful is giving away two gift cards for all of your caffeine lovers!  One card goes to a Dunkin Donuts lover, and the other card goes goes to a Starbucks lover.  You can't go wrong with that!  She's such a sweetheart, too.  You should definitely check out her blog.  :)

The other giveaway is from Mrs. Stoneking at Meet The Stonekings.  She's giving away a gorgeous Waterford crystal ring holder....seriously, who wouldn't want one of those?!  I actually registered for a ring holder just like that, but no one ever bought it for us.  Maybe I'll get lucky this time!  ;)  Definitely check out her site....it's one of my new favorites!



Thanks, everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!
