This is my first time doing this link up with the lovely ladies above.

Never Ever Ever......

Will I love the fact that Hailey is growing up way too fast.

Will I hate reality tv.

Will I say "No, I don't like Zumba."

Will I not carry a phone charger in my purse (Stole this from Neely as it is so true! I also carry my iPad charger with me at all times, too).

Will I not love a rainy, lazy day.

Will I not be excited for NFL football to start!

Will I not love Britney Spears.

Will I say "No, I DON'T want to go to the MN State Fair."

Will I ever be a morning person. Just. No.

A few months ago my Husband started working with a country station down in AZ (WILD 97.1), where he voice tracks the night show from MN. Since then he says country music has started to grow on him a little. He would mention songs and artists here or there, but he's never actually bought anything. He's always been a fan of Toby Keith since he was little, but that's about it.

So that brings us to two weekends ago, on our way to my family reunion. He tells me he bought some new tunes.



So then, after listening to nothing but that the whole day to and from the reunion, I decided I would embrace the country too and put it on my iPod. Well, I have been completely obsessed with this song:

"Get Your Shine On" by Florida Georgia Line



Anyone else? Aren't they dreamy?



Thanks Hubby for getting me semi-hooked on country music. I could see this snowballing, too as one of my good friends, Katie, LOVES country music. Over the weekend she brought her laptop over and dumped a bunch of country music on my computer for me to go through and listen to. Needless to say she's loving it and is 100% enabling me! THANKS KATIE!

I can't believe I haven't done one of these for over a year. Oofta! I'm going to try and do this fun little thing more often, cause it is such a nice little re-cap.

Currently Reading: 50 Shades of Grey (Yes I'm still reading book 1). I don't get that much reading in, but I'm really trying lately. My goal is a minimum of 10 pages before bed. I would like to get through all 3 books eventually. Haha.



Currently Eating: Chinese food for lunch at work. Just rice and noodles. Still trying to keep it somewhat light from being sick this week.

Currently Purchased: I actually just bought this off of Amazon today. I've been wanting one for awhile now and really want to start doing morning smoothies and protein shakes in it. I won't get it for another week, but I'm excited!



Currently Listening to: country music as of late. You can blame my Husband for that. Thanks Wayne. More specifically I've been listening to K102 at work trying to get to know the artists and songs. I've been listening on my computer through iHeartRadio. The station doesn't come in so well on my regular radio. I still listen to my hubs though at night from 6-Midnight on KDWB no matter what.

Currently Watching: Bachelorette just finished up this week so that leaves a bit of a void, but I am loving Mistresses, So You Think You Can Dance, Guiliana & Bill, True Blood, Keeping up with the Kardashians and The Challenge on MTV. These shows will keep me going through the rest of summer and then I can gear up for fall TV!



Currently on my Nails: French. Boring I know, but sometimes you just need a break from color.

Currently Excited: that today is Friday and we don't have a super busy weekend ahead! I'd like to get to the gym tomorrow if I feel good enough. I plan on going out with friends tomorrow night and then a birthday brunch on Sunday at my MIL's. Not too shabby.

Currently Wearing: Jeans and a tank top...casual Friday, which we don't get to do very often.

Currently Nervous: About how I've been feeling lately. Being sick and not sure what's going on with my body. And no, I am not pregnant. As my MIL asked me..."Have you peed on a stick lately?" Yes, I have and no I am not.

Currently Wanting: A tropical vacation.



Currently Looking ahead to: The MN State Fair...one of my favorite times of the year. Less than 2 weeks people!!

Currently Enjoying: My easy days at work. It's been a nice balance lately.

Currently Crossing my Fingers: That we will be able to get approved for a home loan sometime in the near future.

Currently Feeling: Content with life.

Currently Loving This Quote:



Currently Crushing on: Jimmy Fallon. Anyone else? No? Just me. OK then.



Happy Friday!

1. Anyone else as excited as I was that Desiree picked Chris and didn't end up with Brooks? Holla! Just goes to show me that I can't believe everything I read (Reality Steve). I LOVED everything about the finale, the proposal AND After the Rose show.

I picked him early on and am so happy she picked him and they are still together. Now will it last, is the real question? Only time will tell.



2. I am so excited for football season to start, specifically the NFL. I'm not much of a college football gal. Also, my Husband is joining the KFAN team for Vikings post-game coverage!! Yay!



He has been down at training camp in Mankato a few days this week with Paul Allen.

Also, have you seen this commercial on TV?



Just another reason why I love the Manning brothers.

3. I needed a new eye lash curler badly last week. Wayne was stopping at Walgreens to pick up some milk, so I asked him if he would pick me up one. He said yes, of course, cause he's sweet like that. The only guideline I gave him was Revlon, cause I've always had good luck with those and I didn't want to be too specific. Well, he said he splurged and got me the more expensive one.



At first I was like, what? Is this thing really going to work, or does it just look pretty? It's pink and has rhinestones. But you guys?! It's so fantastic!!I think this is the best one I've ever had!!! Absolutely love it!

Anything new with you this week?
