I'm LOVING these two songs this week. On repeat. Both of them.

"Can't Believe It" by Flo Rida feat. Pitbull [Official Music Video]



I love everything Flo Rida and Pitbull put out. So this is perfect. And once again, I first heard it in my Zumba class and had to do some investigating.

"Wake Me Up" by Avicii (Official Video)



DJ Avicii's real name is Tim. He is from Sweden and best known for his house music. He is the one that is mixing the music. The vocals on this song are Aloe Blacc and there is work on this song from Incubus' Mike Einziger. I loved Incubus back in the day. Avicii's new album, True, is set to be released in September and I'm so excited!



Happy Monday y'all!

Linking up with Darci again for Five on Friday.



Not too much going on in my life other than my stupid ankle. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that last Saturday was NOT a fun day. More on that one later. It's been inhibiting me in all aspects of my life, including getting anything done on this blog, much less in real life. I hate it. It pretty much sucks, but what can you do. Nothing. I just gotta roll with punches.





Yay for new Britney! Today is actually 24 days, but because I did this post yesterday, it says 25.





I love these new royal family pictures. I love how they are just chillin outside with their babe and their pups and it's not so formal. They look like actual real people.





Did you hear the other great news? The Obama's got another new pup? Bo and Sunny. I can't stand the cuteness.





And lastly cause I can't do a post lately with-out mentioning it, the MN State Fair is in full swing as of yesterday. I found their instagram and love seeing all the pictures.



Peace out! And happy weekend to all!

It's all ladies this week.

I'm actually really loving Lady Gaga's new song. I know I am probably in the minority with this one, but I have liked all her music so far that she's put out. This is the "Official Lyric Video."

Applause by Lady Gaga



Another one of my favorite artists came out with her latest this last week, too, but I'm actually quite disappointed in it. I LOVED LOVED LOVED "Wide Awake," so I'm hoping the rest of her album to follow is A LOT better than this song.

Roar by Katy Perry



Another favorite lady of mine has this new one out and it's starting to really grow on me the more I listen to it. She is probably one of the best people I've seen live and in my eyes can really do no wrong. I'm so happy that she is happy and thriving.

Tie It Up by Kelly Clarkson



What do you think of these musical ladies?

Linking up with Darci today! Just a few tidbits for this week.



I'm so excited that Wayne and I are FINALLY meeting with United Credit Consultants on Monday morning. We've been thinking about this for awhile now and just have been putting it off, but we are getting really serious about trying to buy a house within the next year and we desperately need help with getting our credit cleaned up and back on track. I haven't talked about this all too much. Mostly because it's just plain embarrassing, but hey that's life, right? We were so not responsible with money and credit in our 20's and have made a commitment to do better in our 30's. We want to try for baby #2 sooner, rather than later, but I want to get our credit cleaned up and be farther along in the house buying process. So yay for taking first steps.



I finally got the Magic Bullet today in the mail I ordered last week. It was like Christmas at work when it arrived this morning. I've heard NOTHING but GREAT things about it and am excited to start using it.





I got my nails done and am loving this "Rose Bud" by CND Shellac. I have been keeping french on my toes. I only get a pedi about once a month cause I do gel polish and it seems to stay great for that long. I get my nails done though usually twice a month and that way whatever color I get on my nails will just mesh with my toes.





I am so excited for this weekend!



 It's going to be busy, but fun. Tonight, after work, I am heading to an ex-co-workers baby shower with a few other ex-coworkers and one current one. It's a Baby -Q. I always love seeing and catching up with these ladies and a gent.

Saturday AM, I plan on going to work out. My sisters are spending the weekend at our house, so I have built in babysitters! Yay!! I plan on having an afternoon date with the Hubby. We're thinking Crave and maybe a movie. We have a GC that we need to use to Crave. Then I might be going to Babe's tomorrow night with friends again...for the 2nd Saturday in a row.

Sunday AM, we are heading to the MOA to meet Karmin and then headed to the MN Zoo to see The Wanted and Carly Rae Jepsen. Let's hear it for great music and cute boy bands!







Lastly, I've been eyeing this watch from Kate Spade. My silver one broke, so I am in the hunt for a replacment, although with how expensive it is, it might have to wait until our Anniversary in November. I need a reason to actually spend that much moola. Gah!

ONE

I was SO shocked yesterday via twitter to see this:

"Gia Allemand dead at 29: Former 'Bachelor' contestant dies of apparent suicide by hanging"

If you watched Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, you know who I am talking about. If you don't then you can just skip is one. I loved her and thought she seemed so sweet and put together. Just goes to show you that even the most put together people, have their own struggles. RIP Gia



TWO

I used to DVR The View everyday and if I liked the guest I would watch it, if I didn't then I would delete it. I currently do this with Ellen and Jimmy Fallon everyday (must be a comedy thing). Somewhere along the line I stopped recording it. I must have not liked the hosts or something. But now, with the addition of Jenny McCarthy, I think I'm going to have to start again. While I don't agree with her views on vaccinations, I do respect her opinion and still love her to pieces and I think she is just so real and honest. It will be interesting to see her more serious side and what she brings to the show.



THREE

And since the first 2 were TV related, I just decided to go continue with it. Yesterday, Kate, so graciously tweeted out this Fall TV Premier schedule for 2013 with premiere dates of not only existing shows, but in bold are brand NEW shows. It's for September and October and did I mention it is PRINTABLE?! Woohoo!! I love me some TV! Thanks Kate!
