If you want to see what I have been watching, you can go see it HERE

There is a couple shows that I've added in since then and one (Eastbound & Down) that I decided not to continue to watch. 

If you are interested in finding out when shows start you can check out the 2014 calendar guide HERE.

Here is my updated list for winter of 2014.

Sundays are by far the busiest. Revenge came back this week, The Walking Dead comes back in a couple weeks and now Girls on HBO is back on the 12th (also the night of the Golden Globe's) and Keeping Up With the Kardashians comes back for Season 9 on the 19th. Oofta.

The Bachelor started this week. There was a 1 hour special on Sunday night and then the regular 2 hour show last night.

I continue to watch Hart of Dixie and then I started watching The Blasklist with James Spader. I am so LOVING that show and am so happy it is doing so well.

Also, The Following, is coming back. This is a show I watch with Wayne. So excited to see where they take it in Season 2, although I am afraid that it won't make it for a season 3. We'll see though.

 photo Tuesday_zpsfb097568.jpg

Tuesdays are the same with Chicago Fire and The Originals. I do watch the Snooki & Jwoww series, too. More often than not I will have that on in the background while I am doing other things, but I have watched them from the beginning and feel like I need to at least finish it through.

 photo Wednesday_zps5e7af180.jpg

Wednesdays will stay the same with Revolution and Nashville and now we add in Chicago PD and The Real World. I am so excited for Chicago PD. If you've been reading for awhile you know my obsession with Chicago Fire.  I'm hoping this lives up to the hype.

I've watched most of all the Real Worlds, and this one is no different. I'm happy that they are adding a bonus layer of their ex's to spice it up a bit. There is for sure to be drama.

 photo Thursday_zps49c58e71.jpg

Thursdays will be the same with The Vampire Diaries and Parenthood.

 photo Friday_zps9b18738b.jpg

Fridays will be the same with Carrie Diaries.

 photo Saturday_zps8c80148d.jpg

If I like who is on SNL, than I will watch it, but lately I haven't been thinking its funny. Just dumb. More often than not, I'm usually in bed asleep or on my way there.

So that's that. Leave me a comment and let me know what you have been watching or what you think I should check out.

I've been loving this song lately:

"Cold Beer With Your Name On It" by Josh Thompson



One of my goals is to continue to embrace country music, so here we go! I'm hoping to see him live when he comes to MPLS in February.

2014 Goals

2014 Goals
Thursday, January 2, 2014

 photo 2014Goals_zps961f3058.jpg

I didn't do goals for last year. Both Wayne and I had set a goal of simply "Do Better." That was our 2013 motto I guess you could say.

We did "do better," but I also like having little goals and I like looking back on them from time to time and especially at the end of the year.  I don't like calling them resolutions, I like the word goal better. Resolution just sounds so harsh.

So, with that said, here are a few of my goals for 2014:
  • Go to the gym at least 3 times a week
  • Get toned
  • Cook more meals at home
  • Buy a house
  • Get pregnant with baby #2
  • More date nights or nights out with friends
  • Get organized with life
  • Blog consistently
  • Continue to pay off debts, improve credit and build savings
  • Wake up in the morning at a time so that I am not rushing out the door
  • Continue to explore all that is country music and with that, see more artists/concerts
I might update this list throughout the year or change them as that is what goals are for, right?

What are some of your goals for 2014?

Goodbye to 2013

Goodbye to 2013

I've felt the need lately to do a little reflecting. I feel like with every struggle there is also a success and so in order to see all of it, here is my year in review however brief it is.

Success - Wayne finally became full-time in February after 5 long years. Talk about being patient. Yay to health insurance and more money. He LOVES his job and it has been a life-long dream of his to be where he is at and I am so proud of all his hard work this year. Way to go honey!

Struggle - Finding time as a family of 3 or even just the 2 of us. We work opposite schedules so it can be rough sometimes, but I know it is not a forever situation and we are constantly working on our communication skills.

Success - My Husband is working his behind off for the better of our family. We have big dreams for 2014 (buy a house and baby #2).

Struggle - My blog has fallen so behind. It's always the first to go. Sad, but true.

Success – This little blog has helped me meet and make so many new friends this year (locally and nationally). I’m so grateful for this community I’ve found. I also attended BBC in October and made great new connections and met a few people in the flesh and not just through the computer.

Struggle - Building on our savings/house fund. It always seems like there is something more important that comes up.

Success - Wayne and I made HUGE steps in cleaning up our credit. Yay!

Struggle - Keeping up friendships and making time for my girls!

Success - I am so blessed to have the friends that I do and that they understand me and my family and love me through it!

Struggle – Finding a better balance in life in general...full-time paralegal, mommy & wife, part-time blogger and photographer.

Success – I have booked 2 weddings for next Summer. Which may not seem like a lot, but for a side business it's plenty.

Success - Keeping my family healthy and happy. I have the most beautiful little girl that fills my life with more joy than I have ever known and a Husband that works day in and day out in order for us to live. He is the most loving and un-selfish man I know and I am so proud to call him mine.

Happy New Year Friends!!

While I love this song so much, I don't really care for the awkward video. I get the meaning behind it, but I was hoping with this song being so beautiful, that they would make a beautiful video, too.

Can I just tell you how excited I am about Chicago PD? It doesn't start until January, but I love Chicago Fire so much, so I am REALLY looking forward to another new show kind of like it. Plus, Sophia Bush is in it. Who I also love. Win win, right?

I'm looking at getting a new planner for 2014. I have the Life Planner from Erin Condren right now, but am thinking of changing it up next year and trying the Simplified Life Planner from Emily Ley. It's a little bit cheaper, but not customizable, so I'm just not sure. If I go the more plain route, I really like the momAgenda ones too, which are a lot cheaper. Do you use a planner? If so, what kind?

So Sexiest Man Alive was named this week...Adam Lavigne. While I do think he is sexy, I'm kind of like whatever. No one can beat Channing Tatum from last year. What do you think?

My Husband is currently in LA doing a press junket for a new show starting December 4th. It's called Mob City and it will be on TNT. He left yesterday and returns Sunday morning. He saw the premiere last night and he said it's pretty good, so if you're into mob shows of any kind, you should definitely check it out. AND, you might notice that Shane from The Walking Dead is one of the main characters! Yay! I missed him.

I am really loving this song lately. It's not brand new, but they were just on Jimmy Fallon this past week and it made me fall more in love with this song to see their personalities come out.
