Fill in the Blank Friday!

Today I'm linking-up with Lauren for Fill in the Blank Friday!

1. One of life's most simple pleasures is going outside and taking a deep breath of fresh air.

2. Hearing people use bad grammar makes me want to punch someone.

3. I like my husband because, he is so nice to me.

4. Elbow is a funny word.

5. If I had to choose one beauty product to use for the rest of eternity it would be Purity face wash. A-mazing!!

6. I'm happy that I have a good job, but NEVER have to deal with rush-hour traffic. (I just got home from DC and it made me extremely thankful for my easy commute!)

7. I would never use a Ouija board. That stuff is evil and FREAKS me out!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Love,

Weekend Routines

The weekend started with our guilty pleasure... eating at Chili's. Josh and I are borderline obsessed! The chips & salsa are just sooo tasty, along with almost every other dish we've ever ordered. It's slowly becoming a fun Friday night routine! However, I think we're over-doing it because the waitress totally guessed our orders this time...like exactly. She knew Josh wanted a wheat bun for his burger, avocado slices, and no bacon. I was slightly embarrassed to say the least!

Saturday morning we got up bright & early for yet another weekend tradition. However, this one is so much cooler because we've actually given it a name. Pancake Saturday. Every Saturday morning we make a nice big batch of Pancakes, a pot of coffee, and spend time discussing our plans for the day. So much fun!


After the conclusion of Pancake Saturday, we actually raced to get everything set up for our garage sale that day. Every summer our neighborhood puts together a community garage sale and this year, they must have advertised it really well because there were so. many. people! The big items we sold were 2 old TV's, table & chairs, and my grandmothers organ (I was shocked that actually sold!). We sold lots of other miscellaneous items as well...so overall, I think it was pretty successful.

Now it's already Sunday evening and we're about to do Josh's usual pre-trip packing routine. This includes laundry, ironing uniform, packing clothes, and cooking food for him to take/eat for the week. But this Sunday is a little different since I actually get to pack for myself as well! I'm leaving for DC tomorrow afternoon to take a training class for work. The title of the course is "Federal Pay Setting." Sounds exciting, huh? I already know how to set Federal pay...but I'm assuming this will involve more complicated situations. I'm sure I'll learn something new =)

I'm taking my lap-top with me this week, so I'm sure you'll hear from me soon! Enjoy your Sunday!

getting to know me

Since this is a brand new blog, I thought it might be fun to get to know me a little better. If you want to learn more of the typical “about me” info, I promise the page above will be quite helpful! But, I thought some random/fun facts about myself might be more entertaining.

So let’s see here…

1. I can juggle and I’m pretty darn good at it. I practiced for 2 days straight with apples. Applesauce anyone?

2. I’m obsessed with reality tv. AKA: Teen Mom, The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad, Real Housewives of Whatever County, Big Brother etc. Ugh, I need a life.

3. If any of my friends are reading this, just skip to the next number because this is old news. I LOVE The Beatles! Yes, I am 24. I don’t care. Best music ever.

4. My biggest fear? Take a wild guess…you’ll never get it. No, not bugs…I hate them (especially spiders or those long creepy things with a million legs), but that’s not it. I am terrified of having my blood pressure taken! I know, I’m crazy. Every freaking doctor thinks I have high blood pressure because the second they walk into the room with that stupid cuff, my heart starts beating a mile a minute. And Ta Da=Instant high blood pressure. Sooo…they made me buy my own blood pressure monitor to do at home because I insisted I was fine. Sure enough, excellent blood pressure. What the heck am I going to do if I ever get pregnant?!??

5. I want to be best friends with Taylor Swift.

6. Unfortunately, I’m a fairly shy person. If I could change one thing about myself, it would probably be to have more confidence.

7. I love learning & reading about natural health. (Vitamins, Supplements, Remedies, Exercise, etc.) I know I’ll go into it more for a post sometime, but I have some nifty tricks up my sleeve. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had a cold for more than 1-2 days!

8. I am so NOT a morning person. But I get up for work at 4:15am every day. Yea, talk about sucky. But there’s a shuttle that meets right down the road from me that can take me to/from work each day for free. The catch? It meets at 5:15am. So, I continue to use it, dread every single weekday morning, not pay for gas, and save money. Which brings me to my next fact…

9. Saving money is like a game for me. Fortunately, my husband and I are very similar when it comes to finances, which makes it much easier. I think we lead a pretty good life and do spend extra in certain areas. However, we love saving money and are certainly not blowing money & racking up credit card debt. That’s bad, bad, bad!

10. Yay! I reached number 10. I couldn’t possibly end at number 9.

I'll leave you with a fun picture from several years ago. My very first follower Erin loves this picture. Thought you might get a chuckle too!

Have a lovely night!
