What I'm Loving Wednesday (3/27)



I have seen this on a few blogs and thought I would start doing a little 'What I'm Loving Wednesday' for my blog! :)

First off, there are 2 songs I am really loving right now.  Of course I am loving Justin's whole CD, ha, but I really love his new single, Mirrors.  It is probably one of my favorites on the CD.  If you haven't heard it.. take a listen!  I am also loving Pink's new song, Just Give Me a Reason.  I am an even bigger fan now after seeing her in concert, and I really love the sound of this song. She was AMAZING in concert, and luckily I got to hear this one live.






Another thing I am loving this week is... The Voice!  I have always been an American Idol girl, but I am not liking these new judges at all.  I also feel like this season they let people through just for TV and aren't really interested in the best singer.  I HATE how the judges don't seem to care about helping the singers anymore and are just there to be on TV and get their paycheck.  I have heard a lot of buzz about The Voice so since it started this week, I thought I would jump right in.. well I am LOVING it.  Can't wait to see how the whole season works and plays out!


Of course I am loving that it is Wednesday, which means we are halfway to another weekend...




And last, but certainly not least.. I am loving my amazing husband who as of today, have had 5 wonderful months of marriage with!



Happy Wednesday! :)

Hello, Friday!

TGIF!

Whew, it seems lately I have been looking forward to the weekends more and more! I hate to wish away time, but I sure do enjoy my time off. The next few months are going to be busy, busy and I am SO excited. This weekend we don't have much planned, hopefully getting to go visit our friends' sweet little twins that were born on St. Patrick's Day and maybe squeeze in some painting.  Next weekend we are going to Lance's hometown to visit some family, the next weekend is Lance's birthday get together, then we will have a free space before heading back home to MS April 25th! After that we will be going to VA to see his mom and that side of the family Memorial weekend, and then the next weekend leave for FL to meet my family for a week.. sheesh! It sure does get busy with both of our families spread out all over the place!!  I love having countdowns and things to look forward to, so bring it on! :)


I hope everyone has a fab weekend!!

 Happy 70th Birthday to my Grandma Sharon!

The 20/20 Experience



I. love. it. 


Yes, March 19 finally arrived and JT's MUCH anticipated album was finally released.  I was lucky enough to win this amazing album on the radio the day before.  I didn't have to do much, just be caller 10, but still.. I WON! ha  I got my email yesterday for the digital download and was so excited to get home and listen.  Of course when I logged on my laptop, I was informed of all the updates iTunes and my iPhone needed.. so about 2 HOURS later, I finally had the album downloaded and uploaded.  Since I have a nice 40-45 minute work commute, I used this morning to be my review time.  I didn't have time to listen to every song all the way through since most are close to 10 minutes long, but I did get a nice sample of each.  I must say, job well done Justin!

He definitely has an amazing PR/marketing/etc group, because Mr. Justin Timberlake is everywhere right now.. commercials, radio, TV, you name it.  And yes, I am LOVING it all. I think Lance is about Justin'ed out.. but that's ok! :)  I would highly recommend this CD and I can not wait for the second half to come out later this year!



PLEASE COME TO CHARLOTTE!!!!!

Keurig Love

Good Morning from "snowy" Concord, NC! I know everyone loves to complain about the weather- "It's too hot, It's too cold, I hate snow, I miss summer, I miss winter, blah blah blah".  Well I happen to enjoy all the seasons and LOVE to look outside and see snow, even if it is just big flakes that aren't really sticking.  As I was sitting drinking my yummy cup of coffee watching the snow, I thought I would write a blog about my new love, my Keurig machine.

Now yes, I know I am behind on the times and these came out well over a year ago. At first I had no interest in one because I was only the occasional coffee drinker, but since living with Mr. Coffee himself and going back to work, I have become a cup, maybe 2, a day type of girl.  As more and more people I knew got one and raved about it, I became more interested, especially since it does just make the one cup I need. Somewhere along the past 2 years of being with Lance I must admit, his "cheap" ways have rubbed off on me.  As he would tell me "We have a coffee maker that works perfectly fine", I started to believe maybe that was enough. (shocking, I know).  I would always go stare at them in the store every time we went, and look at all the wonderful sounding coffee "cups" you could get.  Lance would always make fun of me and tell me just to buy it if I wanted it THAT bad.  But then my brain turned into "Lance mode"- why do I need a $120+ coffee maker???  Oh, the decisions!! So fast forward to this week. Monday was our "dating" anniversary and we decided we wouldn't do presents or anything really big, just go to the same little sushi place we did every year. For me, and knowing him, that was all I thought we were doing.  Little did I know he used this day as a little excuse to go ahead and buy me my lovely Keurig machine!! (Which I would like to throw in the first thing he said was, "Don't expect a gift next year or anything" haha, gotta love him!)  I was SO excited, yes- nerd alert!  I thought it was so sweet of him, because I know how much it seriously PAINED him to spend that much on a coffee maker when we had a "perfectly fine one" already. I am starting to think maybe I am rubbing off on HIM some too! :)   I MUST acknowledge that Mr. Lance has used my new fancy pants machine EVERY SINGLE DAY since we have had it.  Looks like someone might be neglecting his perfect little $20 pot! :)  Now that we are on day 5 1/2, we have already used the whole variety pack box that came with it and I am SO excited to go stock up on some yummy coffees and teas! I know Lance will gripe the whole time about how much they cost, but deep down he loves it just as much as I do. :)

Happy Saturday to everyone and feel free to pass on your favorite "cups"! :)  xoxo
