These are a few of my favorite things...

Perfume:
Victoria's Secret - Sexy Little Things Noir. I love the body mist, and I don't have any of the actual perfume... yet. :)

Jewelry:

My chunky black floral necklace from Dustee's. It is similar to the one pictured, but the flowers are made out of a silky material. I love it.

Piece of clothing:

My new Victoria's Secret coat. Love, Love, Love it! (And yes, I even have a hat like the one on the model.)

Accessory:




My pink, orange and black plaid scarf. I got this beauty at Target and I love it! I even found shoes to match! (In the kids section on clearance... hehehe).


Movie:
Transformers I and II. I love these movies and how they can create the bots to change like they do. Auh-mazing. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it!!
Facebook App:
Yeah, I know. I'm a dork. But I have a cool farm, and even have a pink cottage now.

Magazine:
Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbooks etc! No explanation needed.


Music:

These guys...

And these, too.

Oh, and her as well. :)



Author:


Hands down, Nicholas Sparks. (Message in a Bottle, Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe...) And I must admit, I don't mind seeing his yummy mug on the back of every book. He He He.

Holy Camera Straps, Batman!!

I entered this super cool and fabulous contest on this amazing blog-- V and Co. -- for the chance to win this adorable and mod camera strap that will go on my Canon camera. I didn't think I had a CHANCE to win, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

I checked today to see if they had chosen the winner. The contest was over on Friday, but I didn't have a chance to check and see who the winner was.

Out of 342 entries, I WON!!

Here is the AMAZING strap that I won. Isn't it fab???

I was literally doing the happy dance and spinning around in the computer chair. Zoie decided to join in too, not even realizing why we were celebrating!!!

I can't wait to sport my new camera strap!!

Thanks Shey B, for offering the strap. And thanks V and Co. for the giveaway! :)

Just a Couple Layouts...

I made this layout for ONE of the fall festivals we took Zoie to this year. I tried to find fun activities to take her to so she could enjoy a safe holiday. This was at a church in Edmond. I found Zoie this pirate costume at Target on clearance. It was a 12-18 month, but it fit her (except the elastic was too tight around her poor chubby arms). Doesn't it look adorable with her cute Zebra boots?? :)

This was a photo of Zoie at a local church. They sold different sizes of pumpkins. Zoie picked a little baby one out. I really love this photo of her in her fall sweater.
Thanks for looking!

Good Witch Layout


This was the layout I did for Halloween this year. I still have to journal, but I like the outcome.
Thanks for looking!

Christmas Portraits

Zoie and I went on Saturday to get our Christmas Portraits taken to put in Christmas cards this year. I LOVED how they turned out!
I found us outfits that coordinated (and totally on sale, plus an additional 30% off!) and I think they turned out really well.


Thanks for looking!

My New Obsession...

So I found this game courtesy of my boss. Yes, that's right, my boss. It is so stinking addicting and I love it!

You get to plant things and harvest them, earning coins and points. You can adopt animals and have dairy barns and chicken coops!

Each seed that you plant has a different timespan of when it will be ready to harvest. Some are 2 hours like the raspberry, and some are 4 days like the artichoke. If you purchase something that is ready in 2 hours, you have 2 hours after it is ready to harvest it or it dies. If it is ready to harvest in 4 days, you have four days after that to harvest. (Me personally, I choose the ones with the smaller time frame because my ADHD kicks in and I don't want to wait!)

I can do it on my lunch hour, and when I get to work in the morning and before I leave at night. (and a little throughout the day too.)

It is a fun game. It makes the days go by faster. Not as good as scrapbooking, but I kinda like it.

it's one of THOSE days...

I didn't sleep good last night. Zoie coughed and coughed. Magically, she somehow ends up in my bed every night, even though I can put her in her bed to sleep.

After I medicated the cough, I tossed and turned. The next thing I know the alarm clock is blaring and it is 6 o'clock. Already. Didn't I just go to sleep??

Zoie is feeling the effects of lack of sleep too, as she is difficult to wake up. As long as I make it out the door by 7:20, we are good. We cut it close. Who am I kidding. We are late. As always. Typical morning.

Wait, did I forget to scan those invoices?

After we get to mom's, I run into the computer room and turn on the computer to scan the invoices to be paid. Reminder: Rush check payment due to vendor. But hey, it wasn't my fault. We moved offices to Edmond (an ADDITIONALLY 30 minute fight with traffic each morning. Note to self: At some point, I am going to have to start leaving earlier... it's been 2 weeks.) We still don't have our Xerox networked to our computers. Note to self: Call another company to do that.

Invoices scanned? check. Saved to flash drive? check. On the road before 8? 7:55 am... check. Text the boss to let her know what you are doing and why you won't be in the office at 8? check...

Get to work, the phone is already ringing. Wonderful. Tenant comes in irate. Even better. Calls the contractor a "dumb *ss" at the top of her lungs while proceeding to imitate him. Fan-tastic!

Said contractor comes into office a little later. Boss is out. He calls boss and talks to her. Boss calls me calling him an idiot. Contractor is still sitting in office. Awkward. I pretend it is my mom on the phone, ask him if he needs anything, and he leaves, almost running into the wall as he misses the door completely to exit. Reverting back to "DA" remark.

Can't remember the email address to get on the new site to approve invoices. Email co-worker in Kansas. Ashley saves me. Shoot! Don't remember log-in. Do I ask her that too? No. Wait until boss comes back from lunch...

Hungry. Get salad ingredients out of fridge. Put spinach lettuce in bowl, cut granny smith apple with plastic knife on paper plate (not too successful, shooting half of the apple across the counter and into the drain. Hmm, old medical office suite+unknown substances put down said drain=apple gets trashed), sprinkle feta cheese (don't mind pieces I dropped on floor... will pick up later), pour bacon-bits on top of salad (all clumped together and when I try to break it apart, all comes out in clumps onto the floor. Will pick up those pieces on floor when I pick up said feta cheese), and top with glazed hazelnuts and dressing. Drip dressing all over counter. Adding that to the list of items to clean up...

Salad is great. Still hungry. So much for diet. Wait, I think I have a bag of Salt and Vinegar chips in there! Score! Now I want chocolate... hmmm.

Notice I broke a nail. Great. How do you break a solar nail in half? Oh well. So much for keeping them in good shape until our Christmas pics. Try and break the rest off, with no luck. Will do it later. Forget it's broken and scratch my face. Grrr!!!

And all before noon. Even better...
