I LOVE getting mail!!

Especially when these 2 beauties are waiting for me when I get home from work...

Eeeek!  I'm SO excited.  I'd been looking for the 'Mad as a Hatter' color everywhere, and it was sold out everywhere.  So, I was psyched when I found these two online, and they were both in stock!  Score! 

It's the little things that make me happy.  :)

**Top 2 Tuesday**

One of my favorite posts of the week is here!  Make sure to check out Taylor @ The Undomestic Momma to link up with her!  

This week's category:

Favorite Celebrity Styles

1.  Lauren Conrad....It doesn't matter if she's dressed up or down, she's always so fashionable and looks just adorable!  I love her style.  I'd take all the clothes in her closet ANY day. 

2.  Nicole Richie...she's definitely gone from crazy, party girl....to one hot, sophisticated mama!  I absolutely LOVE her style. 

Oh Edward (and Jacob), how I love thee....

Honestly, if someone had told me a year ago that I'd be obsessed with all things Twilight, vampires, and wolves....I think I would laugh hysterically in their face.

But, here I am, about a year later, and I've contemplated reading all the Twilight series books over again about 3903 times.  I am OBSESSED....I admit it.  Once you get about halfway through that first book, you get completely sucked in, and you never let go.  You eat, breathe, and sleep all things Edward, Bella, and Jacob until you're finished with the 4th book.  And after that, you almost cry because there aren't any more books to read, and now what are you going to do with your life?!  Trust me....if you haven't read the books yet (or seen the movies), and you think I'm just some crazy 20-something turned teeny-bopper, you need to read these books.  You WILL get sucked in....I promise.  And, you will love every second of it.  ;)

So, for all of you that are already fans....how excited are you that New Moon comes out in 6 days?!  Teehee.  I'm pretty damn excited.  And yes, I may be one of those crazies in line at WalMart at 12am on Saturday...that's how I excited I get when one of the movies come out.

Also, for your viewing pleasure...the first trailer for Eclipse!!  I can't wait for this one....enjoy!




Happy Sunday, everyone!  :)

PS - Sorry, I just noticed that the entire video doesn't fit on my page.  Here's the direct link if you'd like to watch it in all of its wide-screen glory.  ;)

I'm back....and, my first award!! :)

Hi ladies!  I've missed you all so much while I've been away.....and I feel like I have so much to catch up on!  I have so many different blogs in my head that I want to write about, too.  I'm such a dork....on my drive home from work today, all I was thinking of were the different things I can blog about over the weekend.  lol  What can I say?  My name is Erika, and I'm addicted to blogging.  :P

Anyways....Florida was pretty fun, definitely not typical warm Florida weather, but it was good enough for me!  It was nice and relaxing, and it was just great to get away for a few days.  Work's been SO stressful and I'm literally hating it there more and more every day (all b/c of one spoiled, selfish, high-maintenance, tattle-tail girl....but, that's a whole other blog post that I'll get into one of these days), so it was so nice to not have to be there for a few days.  I'll post some of the pictures from my trip sometime this weekend.  I still haven't gotten around to putting the pics on my computer yet, so, as soon as I do I'll put them up.  :)

And, while I was away....I was given my first AWARD!!!  :D  I'm so psyched!  I feel so special....hehe.  I have to give a HUGE thank you to my fabulous friend (blog and 'real life' friend...she's the best!), Mandy @ What's new with Mrs. T for giving me the Happy 101 Award! 

Now, for receiving this award, I have to list 10 things that make my day, and then tag other blogs that are worthy of this award.  Sounds pretty easy to me...and so fun!

So, 10 things that make my day....

1.  My amazing husband....who is not only the love of my life, but also my best friend.  (cheesy, but true.  ;)  )  I'm so lucky to have someone who love me for ME, and wouldn't have it any other way. 

2.  My adorable animals....Bailey, Roxy, and Fozzie Bear.  They make my long, frustrating, stressful days at work so much better when I come home and walk in the door to those wagging tails and purring faces.  :)

3.  My family and friends

4.  Relaxing on the couch after a long day at work with my laptop and either a cold beer or a nice glass of wine....ahhhh, the best. 

5.  Spending the night at home with the hubs, watching LOST, Grey's Anatomy, or any one of our favorite tv shows.  We're tv junkies!

6.  Shopping, of course....especially online 'window shopping.'  It's a lot of fun, and saves me some $$.

7.  My morning coffee.  It really starts my day, and I feel like the day won't go right if I don't end up having a cup.  

8.  Blogging, and stalking all the blogs that I love!

9.  Getting a manicure and pedicure

10.  And, last but not least....hoping and praying every day that I get a BFP, and dreaming about the day that our family of 2 becomes a family of 3.  :)

Here are the bloggers that I'm awarding:

Annette @ What Tomorrow May Bring
Lindsey @ Neck Rolls and Toe Crust

Annie @ Our Little Family

Sam @ Life is Beautiful

Mrs. G @ Our Growing Garden

I hope every has a great weekend!  Happy Friday! 

Hello from sunny Florida!! :::waves:::

Hi ladies!! I miss you all so much! I am going through some serious blog withdrawl here. lol

Our vacation is going pretty well, so far! The weather's been great, and we hit the beach up yesterday and today....Venice Beach and Siesta Key. So beautiful!! We're probably heading down to a beach in Naples tomorrow, and it's going to be even warmer than today, so I can't wait!

Also, the baby making has been going very well these past couple of days, so hopefully we'll have our "Florida baby' in about 9 months!! ;) We'll see!

OK, gotta run now. We're off to dinner at Carrabba's....Mmmm! We don't have this chain in CT, so it's a nice treat for us. :) I'll talk to you all on Thursday!

PS - Thank you so much for my award, Mandy!! :D I'm SO psyched to receive my first award, and I'll definitely make a special blog for it when I get home.

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:
