Sunshine Award and a Sleepy Weekend


This weekend I was so lazy. I watched 2 excellent movies- The Place Beyond the Pines (I finally won at Redbox) and then a gem on Lifetime, Restless Virgins (I just love Lifetime’s movie titles). I slept in and then napped on the couch- how much sleep do you get on the weekends? I’m wondering if I’m normal, lazy, or need to have my thyroid meds checked!

Anyhoo, good thing that Denise nominated me for a Sunshine award for a more entertaining blog post than how much sleep I got! 




Here are the "rules"... 1. Link back to the blog who nominated you for the sunshine award. 2. Include the sunshine logo in your post. 3. Answer the questions given to you by your nominator. 4. Nominate bloggers who add sunshine to your day!
 
Here are the questions I was given: 1. What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? Hit the snooze button, repeat.
2. Favorite holiday and why? Christmas of course! I love the decorations and all the traditions that go along with it. 



 
3. Extrovert or introvert? Extrovert
4. What is the one food you can never get tired of?  Fro yo (as long as I can get different flavors and toppings)
5. What is your biggest pet peeve? Tie between people that talk during movies and women who go braless that have no business doing so.
6. Where did you go on your first date ever? Oh, I can’t remember really- the movies. Not that I know which one.
7. What is something everyone else loves that you don't? Ha, the first thing that came to mind are these Vietnamese sandwiches that everyone at work LOVES except me.
8. Fall or Spring? Fall- the colors, the pumpkin flavored everything!
9. Favorite celebrity. Kate Middleton
10. Love sports or hate them? Hate ‘em, but love the social aspects of them (like tailgating). 
Me, being a poser

It’s my turn to tag people for the award. I choose:


Rita Marie at Champagne-n-Pizza
Erin at Party Girls Guide  
I would tag Kathy over at Vodka and Soda, but I'm not sure these are her thing :)


And here are their 10 questions:
1. What’s the best movie you’ve seen this year?
2. Starbucks drink of choice?
3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
4. If you could be an animal for one day, what would you be?
5. Do you believe in ghosts and/ or angels? Why or why not?
6. If money was no object, what would your dream job be?
7. Favorite family tradition while growing up?
8. If you could have one super power, what would it be?
9. What’s the best meal you can make?
10. If you could go forward in time, what would you want to know?

Professionalisms

It’s performance review time in my neck of the woods and I’m not sure what to say when it comes to the category of "professionalism". Here is what I really would like to write.

I spend too much money on clothes so I look cute professional. There are some ares I could improve upon. 

  1. Cursing less at work.
  2. Laughing hysterically when someone says “I need a teabag” or “just go in through the back door” (in reference to a computer system).
  3. Dance like a toddler on my way to the fridge right at noon because I'm excited to eat. 
  4. Eat snacks at my desk like the delicious cafeteria popcorn that gets all over the place.
  5. Listen to the back that azz up Pandora station at my desk!
Glad it's weekend when I can go home and do whatevers I like, professional or not! Now here's a badazz lady that gets to do what she wants, when she wants.

Working Out at Home



My new fitness plan, thanks to some inspiration from  hardcore fitness babe Kathy, is to start tracking my food on MyFitnessPal again and work out 3 times a week doing videos at home before work or jog outside if it’s nice. I need to start working out in the morning, otherwise, I just find too many excuses after work. 

So, yesterday morning I worked out at home doing the On Demand FIT TV video. One of the cats was all up in my bizniss. He kept trying to play or get me to pet him. He eventually gave up and sat on the couch and judged me while I flopped around our living room.  Ugh, I hate when they sit and stare at me- it creeps me out! The worst is if the bathroom door isn’t closed all the way, they push their way in and watch you do whatever you’re doing! Pervs. Do your pets do that? 

 Oh yea, I'm judging you doing those crunches.

Liebster Part Deux



I was nominated for a Liebster a while back, but guess what Haylee at Jets and a Brunette nominated me also!
In case you forgot-


The Liebster award is for bloggers who have less than 200 followers. When you receive the award, you answers the 11 questions the blogger who nominated you wrote, you mention that blogger in your post (and link back to them), you nominate 11 new bloggers, and pose 11 new questions.

So since I barely came up with 11 bloggers to nominate the last time, I'm skipping those steps- moohhooohoohhahah!


1. What is your favorite post on your blog?
2. What does your typical Sunday look like? 
I Skype with my family in the morning, get coffee at Starbucks with the hubs, then some R&R (I like to catch up on my DVR and movies). The hubs and I always do a nice dinner in & then  get ready for the work week (make lunch, overnight oats for breakfast, back my gym bag, etc) and  always watch my fav shows like True Blood, GoT, or Dexter.
3. Who is your best friend and why?  
My mom- I talk to her all the time. She has good advice and we are so alike we always have a lot to talk about from TV shows to life. 
4. What is your favorite hobby? 
Scrapbooking
5. What is your favorite non-alcoholic drink?  
 Grape soda (not that I ever drink it)
6. Are you a spender or a saver? Explain. 
Um, I try to be a saver, but I’m a spender. I just like to shop!
7. Tell me one thing you dislike about the city/town you currently live in. 
 I wish I was closer to my family and friends in TN.
8. Complete the sentence: When I "grow up", I want to be ... 
Um, I think I’m already grown up at this advanced age. I’d like to have a family, so be a mom.
9. Dogs or cats? Explain.  
This is tough- we only own cats because they are easy, but I love how friendly dogs are. 
10. What's one thing you're looking forward to? Today, this week, forever?
11. What purse or bag are you currently carrying? Grey Coach leather bag the hubs got me a few years back for my b-day.

Vroom Vroom

So this weekend, we got a new car! No, we didn't win one or anything like that.

Now, we just need to come up with a name to car our new baby. Oh yea, it's our first new car (2013)! Whoo hoo- big pimpin'

I also went to the Penny Saver massive yard sale at the Bowie Baysox stadium. I just love to root through other people's junk. I picked up a leaf blower for E for $25 and some other tools (he doesn't want).
Nothing line a line at sunrise. 

 My big treasure were 2 weathered rocking chairs for $20. I unfortunately had to paint them all freakin' day Sunday. Note- when wood is "weathered" AKA dry as the Sahara, it will just absorb paint and you will need more elbow grease than expected. Also, using spray paint can make your forearms hurt.

Who dat with the hairy legs photo bombing?!


I also started watching Ray Donovan- hello, how have I missed this?! I also said a big goodbye to one of my favs shows, Dexter.
