~Miscellany Monday~

Hello lovelies!  I know it's Monday, but, I hope everyone's day is going well, so far.  :)

It's my first time playing along with the 'Miscellany Monday' post over at @ Carissa's blog.  This is definitely my kind of post!  I'm always usually really random, so this is perfect.  Click on her link below if you want to play along!

1.  I hope all you Mommies and Mommies-to-be out there had a wonderful day yesterday!!  I can't wait until the day the I can celebrate Mother's Day with my own family!  Hubs and I went to brunch yesterday with my mom and grandma, and then we went over to his mom's house for a few hours.  Overall, it was a really nice day.

Unfortunately though, I've had a very rocky relationship with my mom over the past 15 years or so.  There was a period in our lives when we didn't talk for about 8 years....that was tough.  But, everyone has family issues, right?  Thankfully, we're now in a very good place, and I couldn't be more appreciative for everything my mom has done for me over the past couple of years.  But, I don't think we'll ever have that best friend, mother/daughter relationship that most girls have with their moms....and I'm OK with that. 

Now my dad on the other hand...that's a whole other blog post.  lol  My relationship with my parents seem to have a pattern over the years....when things are going great with one, the other one does something awful and isn't in the picture anymore, and vice versa.  One of these day I'll really open up, and tell you alll about my family drama.  But, who wants to hear that sad stuff, right??  All I know is, after everything our family's been through, I will love my own children no matter what, unconditionally, and they will ALWAYS knows that.

2. Well, sorry about that!  I didn't plan on going off on a rant/tangent like that.

3.  Coming up sometime soon, I plan on blogging all about our bathroom/basement renovation we've done at our house over the past year.  I'm SO excited about it, and I couldn't be happier with the finished products.  I mean, who doesn't want a pink and blue tiled bathroom...with a blue tub, sink, and pink and blue tiles all over the wall??  Don't worry, that's what our bathroom used to look like.  ;)  Here's a sneak peek of our new finished basement:

  (I think Bailey, Roxy, and Fozzie are loving our new basement even more than we are!)

4.  Today is the first time this year that I think my allergies are really starting to bother me.  Ever since I got home from work, I've been all sneezy, sniffly, and stuffed up.  Boooo.  Hopefully a good night's sleep will help.

5.  I really want to get a Droid.  I've had my Blackberry for over a year or so, and it's really been annoying me lately.  I'm so over the stupid roller-ball thing, and I'm ready for something new!  Does anyone have a Droid?  Would you recommend it??

6.  I just found out this weekend (by reading my US Weekly, of course!) that Jeffery Dean Morgan (aka Denny on Grey's Anatomy) and Hilarie Burton (aka Peyton on One Tree Hill) 'secretly' had a baby a few months ago!  Seriously?  1 - How could they keep something like that a secret?!  I didn't even know those two were dating, let alone having a baby together.  And 2 - How could Denny do that to me??  Didn't he know that he was on 'my list'??  (Any 'Friends' fans out there??  My absolute favorite show EVER.  I've seen every.single.episode...and could probably quote 95% of the episodes I've seen.)

7.  I started spotting yesterday, and I'm all crampy/back-achey today.  That's all I have to say about that.

8.  I'm really looking forward to all the good TV this week....One Tree Hill, Real Housewives of NJ, 90210, The Hills/City, LOST, Grey's....can you tell I'm a TV junkie??  ;)

Alrighty, I think I've rambled on enough with my random thoughts.  I hope you all have a great week!
