I jinxed myself

Ugh, why did I have to go opening my mouth about not getting my period??  (Click on my ticker and you'll see what I'm talking about) 

::Sigh::

On to cycle #5....  :(

Top 2 Tuesday!

It's that time of the week again!  Head on over to Taylor's blog @ the undomestic momma to link up!






This week's topic....Top 2 things you can't live without:

Like Taylor, aside from my husband, my family, friends, pets, etc.....these are all things I wouldn't want to live without. 

1.  My laptop....'nuff said.  ;)

2.  Chapstick....preferably my Burt's Bees.  I'm A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D. 

And, just because I can never just pick 2 things, here are just a few of the runner-ups:

My Blackberry
Anti-bacterial soap/lotion
My debit card
Diet Coke
Lipgloss
My camera

Happy Monday...and, another award! :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  The weather was absolutely beautiful here all weekend, and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sun.  It was perfect!  And, it's Mr. B's birthday today, so we went out to a nice dinner on Saturday night and celebrated with his brothers and their wives.  We had such good food, and then we went back to his brother's house and played games.  Have any of you ladies played 'The Game of Things'?  If you haven't, you have to play it!  It's SO much fun.  We literally laugh the entire night while playing.   

I just got home from work and I gave hubs his birthday present.  He was very excited!  I think we were the only family in the US that didn't have the Wii yet....buuuut, now we do!!  :D   He's actually getting it all set up now so we can start playing.  Teehee.  We're such big kids. 

Also, I have to thank my lovely ladies, Mrs. T @ What new with Mrs. T and Mrs. C @ Life thru the eyes of Mrs. C for another awesome awesome award!

The rules are pretty simple for this one....you have to blog about where you'd like to be in 10 years, and then tag those blogs that you think deserve this award. 

And honestly, I don't have to go into much detail for this one.  In 10 years, I hope to still be very happily married, with at least 2 children (God willing)....maybe even 3!!.....and enjoying life as a family.  I would be the happiest girl alive if that is my life in 10 years.  Cheesy, but true.  :)

And, since I think that all the lovely ladies who I follow deserve this award, I'm just going to pick a few...since I honestly love ALL the blogs I read.  ;)

Mrs. Hesson @ Meet the Hesson's

Aly @ analyze this

Mrs. J @ The Smelly Life

Mrs. Newlywed @ My Life As A Wife

Annie @ Our Little Family


And, that's all for now.  I hope everyone's enjoying their day!  I mean, I know it's Monday, but, at least it's almost over!  ;)

PS - I still haven't gotten my period yet!  **Shhhh!!**

New look...coming soon!

Eeeeek....I'm SO excited!  :)  Hopefully in the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll have my new blog layout.  I can't wait to share it with you ladies!

SO happy it's the weekend!

Seriously, I am so glad that it's finally Friday, and I'm finally relaxing at home (on this gorgeous day!) with a cold beer in my hand.  Ahhhhh, it's the best.  Work has been so unbearable lately....I literally stare at the clock all day just waiting for 4:30/5:00 to roll around, so I can get the hell outta that place!

This is actually hubs' birthday weekend, so I'm excited to celebrate!  I'm one of those people who like to celebrate birthdays (especially my own  ;) ) for a whole week, or at least an entire weekend.  So, I'm not sure what we're doing tonight....probably going for dinner somewhere, and maybe a movie.  Tomorrow night we're going to Capitol Grille for dinner, and I'm SO excited.  I've been dying to eat there for so long.  It should be delish!  :)  And then on Sunday we're going to my mom's house and she's having a little birthday party for him.  Food and cake....what's not to love?

I hope all you lovely ladies have a great weekend!  And, I also hope that everyone has spring-like weather like we're having here in CT.  It's gorgeous out!  Spring has definitely sprung!

PS - I'm not trying to ruin the mood or anything, but, I started spotting today.  I think AF is on her way.  :-/  I'm so disappointed.

Blog layout help

I've been thinking for a while now that I don't really like the header of my blog anymore.  I mean, I love that picture of hubs and I, but, I feel like it's just so boring....the title, the font, the colors.  BOR-ING.

So, I was wondering if all you lovely veteran bloggers would be able to help me out here.  :)  I do like the layout that I have, and I would love to have a header that kind of matches it, but....where the heck do I get that??  Is it something I can make myself, or have someone else make for me?  Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop or any fancy photo editing program like that, so I don't know if making one myself would be the best idea.  I just want something that's fun and kind of bubbly (if that description even makes sense.  lol), where I can have maybe 2 or 3 pictures in the header, with a quote or something thrown in there, too. 

Here a few examples of blog headers that I'm loving right now....

Now, I'm sure with a lot of these, you have to buy the whole layout and everything....but, if the price is right, maybe I'll just do that.  ;)  I'm loving blogging SO much lately, so I'd love to make my blog more me and more of my own. 

Soooo, any suggestions or help you ladies could give would be awesome!  Or, if you could just point me in the right direction, that would be a start. 

Thanks so much!  I hope all you ladies have a great day!  xoxo
