Go link up with C Mae and show us your favorite picture of your furbaby or in my case furbabies!

This is my favorite picture of me and my pups. It was shortly after we rescued Tony and Moo Moo in 2008, when they were two years old. I think it's the only one actually that has all four of them AND me.

Love them so much!

Friday, April 1, 2011

- I left work in a good mood;

- I had to make a pit-stop at Walmart to pick up a few groceries/snacks for the weekend;

- I got home and ate dinner with Wayne (which consisted of a bowl of cereal); I've been obsessed with Berry Kix this past week;

- He then left for work for the weekend and I sat on the couch for the remainder of the night and finished season 1 and started season 2 of Brothers & Sisters on Netflix;

    Saturday, April 2, 2011

    - It was Green Grandma's 71st birthday, so we met her sister and brother-in-law (Kristi & Craig) for lunch at Bistro 11; the Horton family also decided to join us; I had the BBQ Chicken pizza, but it was cooked in a brick oven, so it was extra tasty; The food was great, just as was the conversation;

    Photobucket

    - After a lengthy lunch, we stopped by the assisted living place to visit with Barbara; Gramma tries to visit a few times a week, but I hadn't been there in awhile, so she got to see my belly bump for the first time since I've really popped out;

    - We then stopped at Dairy Queen on our way home for a treat; ;)

    - I completed my weekly cleaning in the late afternoon/early evening; It takes me a little longer than usual as I have to take several breaks in between;

    - We watched "Everybody's Fine" that night; It was a little slow, but overall a pretty decent movie with a touching message at the end;

      Sunday, April 3, 2011

      - We had made plans earlier in the week for the family to meet at Broadway Pizza - Robbinsdale for Gram's birthday;

      - On our way there the two of us stopped at a local consignment shop to look around; I scored a few maternity items; 2 shirts and a pair of jean capri's for $26.00; I couldn't pass it up;

      - We then met up for lunch/cupcakes with everyone; again great food and conversation;

      - We also found out that Wayne's cousin Evan and his wife, Rachel, are expecting their first child this October! This is the four of us at their wedding this past October 2010:

      We are so excited that Hailey will have a new cousin and someone else to play with at family events. They will only be about 4 months apart, so it will be so fun watching them grow up together!

      Congrats again Rachel & Evan!

      - On our way home we stopped at the same consignment shop, but a different location and I scored on a couple MORE maternity items; a shirt and a dress for $15.00; AGAIN, couldn't pass it up;

      - Wayne and I had plans to watch the WWE Wrestlemania PPV last night; I am not into it as much as Wayne is, but I like to keep up-to-date on what's happening; there were several reasons why I really wanted to watch this particular PPV;

      First off, my girl Snookie from the Jersey Shore was in a match and has been making a celebrity appearance the last few weeks, so it was a must watch for me;
        Photobucket

        She won her match and is declared WWE's Diva of the Day today. LOL!

        - Another reason was that the Legion of Doom was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

        I realize you might not know or care why this is so important to Wayne, but he actually knows Animal from Legion of Doom (far right). Click on this LINK to read more about their career if you're interested. In short, they were and still are the best tag team in the history of wrestling. Animal lives in the Twin Cities with his family and Wayne has kept in touch with him over the years.

        At the beginning of 2011, Wayne and his friend Adam started a pro wrestling radio show called Extreme Pro Wrestling Radio. You can listen to all the podcasts on KFAN HERE.  Animal is their "guest host." It was so cool to watch him stand up there on stage with the other HOF inductees. Wayne is so proud to call him his friend.

        It was the PERFECT way to end the crazy weekend...on the couch with my love and pups!

        A few of my favorite things...

        I saw this on a couple different blogs I follow and decided to do it, too. I'm sure after this baby is born several of these will definitely change as priorities change, but for right now it is what it is.

        Favorite time of day: When I get home from work, put on my pajamas and can relax in bed. I'm not a fan of the couch right now because I can't spread out and put my feet up comfortably. Our bed is just so much more comfortable and with more room for the pups.

        Favorite season: Hands down summer for the warm weather and being able to be out and about. Being able to wear less clothing and flip flops.

        Photobucket

        Favorite month: December for Christmas and because I always seem to have some time off of work and get to spend time with family.

        Photobucket

        Favorite holiday: Christmas. I'm excited to have our own tree again this year and have a house to decorate!

        Photobucket

        Favorite subject in school: It was always english and social studies.

        Favorite color: I don't really have just one, but I tend to favor pink.

        Favorite song: "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis is our first dance song. It's a classic that will stay with me forever. Both me and my Husband love all Elvis. It's always fun too, when they play it at other weddings and every time that happens Wayne takes me out on the dance floor. Such a great reminder of where we have come from.

        Photobucket

        Favorite movie: I love a lot of movies and different genres. A few of my favorites are: Shawshank Redemption, Sweet Home Alabama, The Last Song, Life as We Know It, The Hangover, Stepbrothers, The Notebook. Just to name a few. I could go on and on.

        Favorite celebrity: Right now it would be:

        Male: Mark Whalberg: I've always loved him in everything he has been in and now that he is behind the scenes more I also like the shows he is creating and producing as well. He is such a great family man also and just seems very respectable and not to mention HOTT.

        Photobucket


        Female: Mila Kunis: I've always loved her from her first days on That 70's Show and I LOVE that she is branching out into more movies and bigger roles. I also like that her and MaCaulay Culkin split. I was not a fan of them together and think she is too good for him. So excited to see where her career leads.

        Photobucket

        Favorite kind of music: I really love everything except for country. It just depends on what mood I'm in at the time.

        Favorite channel: CW Twin Cities right now. Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries and Nikita are all on that channel.

        Favorite TV show: Since I watch way too much tv I have a lot of must watch shows. See above as well as Brothers & Sisters, Bachelor/ette, Bachelor Pad, Parenthood, One Born Every Minute, Real World & Challenges, Jersey Shore.

        Favorite thing to do: curl up in bed with our pups and watch tv/movies.

        Favorite place in the world: my bed...it's just so darn comfy

        Favorite hobby: blogging, scrapbooking, reading, watching tv and movies

        Favorite kind of animal: dog...hence the reason why I have 4

        Favorite place to live: I lived in LaCrosse, WI for just under a year, but other than that I have only lived in Minnesota, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I'm a true mid-western girl. It is where we both are from and all our family lives here as well, so that is tough to beat.

        Favorite place to vacation: Florida is the only place I have been where it is warm and I can get a tan, so until I go anywhere else, it will be that.

        Favorite restaurant: Big Bowl

        Photobucket

        Favorite food: Pizza. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be that.

        Favorite dessert: Chocolate molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream

        Photobucket

        Favorite snack: Chips, I know they are bad for me, but I love to munch on them. I try and at least pace myself.

        Favorite thing to cook: Not much of a cooker/baker, but I'm hoping that will change in the next few months when we move into our new home. A couple things I do like to make are BBQ Chicken Quesidilla's, spaghetti or brownies.

        Favorite drink: water or lemonade (bonus if it's strawberry or raspberry)

        Favorite chore: vacuuming

        Favorite makeup: Bare Escentuals....if you haven't tried it you must!

        Favorite hair products: Not a huge hair product user as I have very fine hair and it tends to make it greasy and heavy, but I like the Aussie Shampoos:
        Photobucket

        I use Chi Iron Guard when I straighten my hair:

        Photobucket

        and Got2B Smooth Operator Smoothing Lustre Lotion (I couldn't find a very good picture of it).

        Favorite lotion: I like the smell of Bath & Body Works Sweat Pea.
        Photobucket
        Favorite perfume: Juicy Couture

        Photobucket

        Favorite blogger: There is no way I could choose just one!

        Favorite thing to blog about: Anything and everything as you can see!

        Favorite books: "Girly" books and I tend to like "teen" books as well. Anything by Nicholas Sparks, Emily Giffin or Jennifer Weiner. I also love the Hunger Games series and Twilight series.

        Favorite thing to wear: Other than being able to stay in PJ's all day, it would be flip flops in the summer.

        Favorite kind of day: One where I can sleep in, stay in my PJ's all day, watch a movie or several or tv shows while cuddling on the couch (preferably my bed) with my pups, eat something really good for dinner, a long, hot shower, then bed!

        Favorite memory: My wedding day

        Favorite Sports Team: Twins & Vikings

        Favorite Guilty Pleasure: Stupid reality TV like Jersey Shore
