High Five Friday!!!

Hello, Friday!!  And, another addition of......



Photobucket





Number ONE:

Ask and you shall receive.  On Monday I was having a terrible time finding a parking spot on campus.  Almost as soon as I prayed for one..TADA! Rockstar parking!  Then, while waiting for my Medical Terminology Professor, I prayed that she wouldn't give us the weekly quiz.  The chapter was so big and I think I was just overloaded with information.  Once class started she informed us that she wrote the quiz for next week by accident.  NO QUIZ. Thanks for the awesome Monday, Lord!!!



Number TWO:

My followers have DOUBLED in the last week!  WOO HOO!  You guys are awesome!  I'm contemplating a give away....we'll see ;)




Number Three:

The lovely Jami from Somewhat Domesticated  awarded me the Liebster Blog Award.  THANKS A BUNCH.  It really means a lot to me!! 




Number FOUR:

My writing Prof informed me that proof reading/grading my papers was easy (because I use complete sentences and such)  AWESOME!  Because, I hate writing them!  HAHA!

this really has nothing to do with number four...i just thought it was hilarious!


Number FIVE:

Today is Lailah's 2nd Birthday!  So that means a spoiling is about to occur from Aunt Trish and Uncle Buddy!!  Spoiling = tons of fun for me!!



I hope ya'll have an awesome weekend!

This week has been chuck full of nothing but studying and going to classes.  Forgive me if it seems like I'm pulling strings to make it to five things!  (that rhymed! haha)





1. Hubby got a new job!  YAY!  It's not the one he wanted, but it is a foot in the door and money coming in.  That's all that matters!



2.  I received my loan disclosures this week that told me when my student loans should be disbursed.  New computer coming soon!  HOLLA!



3. Hubby talked with his old boss and got things squared away with his w2.  Taxes will be (hopefully) filed this week.  Double HOLLA!



4. I talked with my Mama. I miss her so much!



5.  Our niece Lailah is here this weekend.  She kept asking for me and didn't want me to stop playing with her so I could study.  Melts my heart :)

High Five Friday!

Holy Moley!  It's Friday!  I'm linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk Blog for another edition of....

1- Taking Dayton and Ella to the Snow Fest.  Even though it was super cold and we didn't stay long, I loved spending time with them!  Check it out here.



2- I passed all three tests I took this week!  Thank you, Jesus!!



3- I made it through all 31 days of January without taking even one sip of pop!  I did get a small fountain pop between my lecture and lab on Wednesday....and it didn't taste as awesome as I thought it would.  I blame it on Hubby and his delicious bubbles!  Read about it here.



4- While I was avoiding homework checking out some other awesome bloggers pins, I came across this pin and about died laughing.  That always makes for a good day!



5- Hubby found his wedding ring!  He lost it at a friends garage on Wednesday and found it on the ground there last night.  Turns out that orange goop removes more than just grease from hands!


I would love to get these for one of our landmark anniversaries!

High Five Friday!

It's time for....

WOOT! 




My MIL is hosting her work Bunco game tonight.   I get to be a substitute:)  If  you're not familiar with Bunco, here is a description that I found that really sums it up!


Bunco is a social event. It's a party. It's a blast! Twelve of us get together once a month, leaving the cares and worries behind, and leaving the kids with their fathers or baby-sitters. We fall off our diets, snacking on M&Ms, Chex-Mix, or anything else we can get our hands on.  We have appetizers, a (usually) delicious dinner, and seconds on dessert. We drink our favorite spritzer, Chardonnay, or Drink-of-the-night, and we talk. We talk about our kids. About the neighbors. About anyone who didn't show up. About our husbands, our jobs, their jobs, the builder in our community, TV shows, current events, and anything else that might tickle our fancy. Oh yeah, and we play a silly, mindless dice game with wild abandon!






I woke up on time, did both my hair and make-up, and arrived to all my classes before they started.  That's a HUGE accomplishment in my life.  I am always running just a minute late, I prefer to just pull my hair back in a pony, and don't usually put on make-up (because Hubby says I'm beautiful without it-so sweet).  High Five!

Not me.  I freakin' wish!


This pretty much made my week:


If you can't read it, go here.
I discovered that I truly enjoy old black and whites. I watched The Thin Man this week and LOVED it!





I got my button to stick! Then I tried to make another one and somehow messed up the first one. I'm back to square one. But, I did get it to stick for a while!

High Five Friday!

This week also had 5 super, fantastic things in it!  AWESOME!



I have officially started school!  Read about it here.

I got a note in the mail from my cousin, Angela.  She lives in Washington and I miss her so much!  We were so close growing up.  We had almost everything the same.  As a matter of fact our wedding anniversary's are two days apart!  I'm pretty sure that the last time I saw her was at my wedding almost 4 years ago!

It's been so long that I couldn't find a picture of the two of us together :(
I FINALLY changed my blog setup.  I've been wanting to do it for quite some time and decided yesterday was the day!  It's not so busy now and I like it! 

I made a button!  Doesn't sound like much but it's success in my book.  I just can't get it to stick right.  Maybe it'll be on next week's HFF??  We'll see!


I've been asked to be a guest blogger!  AND I get to talk about coupons.  How awesome is that??!! I'll keep you posted for my big debut. HAHA

Check her out!

High Five Friday!

It's that time, again!  Here are my top five from this past week!

Cleaning out Mini.  I know cleaning out a mini van doesn't sound exciting but, Hubby has been driving it and TRASHED it.  It was nice to get all that crap out of there!

Spending the day with Hubby.  I love when have that time :) 

My first coupon "haul" of the year.  I don't think I did too bad. Hopefully I will have made a nice little stock by the time Hubby and I FINALLY move.

3 Tuna pouches, 9 pudding snack packs
10 Old Spice Deodorant, 5 Herbal Essence items, 5 Gilette body washes, 5 Old Spice body washes, 2 Head and Shoulders

Saved $95




We have snow!  I will only be excited about this today because it's the first REAL snow we've experienced since winter 2007.  After this I will be counting down the days till spring!

High Five Friday

High Five it's FRIDAY!!!  Here are my 5 awesome things that I loved about this last week:


1. Staying up with my niece, Dayton, to watch "the gum drop."   She was so dang proud of herself for staying up that late.  I think that the can Mt. Dew and foot long candy necklace I gave her might have helped!
I let her paint my finger nails.  Bad idea?  HAHA

2.  The bookstore FINALLY received my loan information and I was able to buy all of my supplies and some of my books.  I'm going to rent the rest from chegg.com. My price went from $850 to less than $400 because of that site.  AWESOME!!

SCHOOL!  I'm so excited!
3.  Two of my sisters had birthdays this week.  How awesome is that?!  I love them so much. I can't believe how much they've grown!


Lita and I.  She turned 24 on the 1st.
Jess and I.  She turned 23 on the 5th.

4.  Coupons are circulating again.  YAY!  There were a few weeks in December that coupon circulars were not put in papers.  But they're back and I'm ready to stock up!
My coupon binder.  LOVE!

5. I made Biscuits.  From scratch.  They were delicious.  More on that in another post.


So yummy!

Thanks again to Lauren at From My Grey Desk Blog for your linky party!

High Five Friday!!

 It's the last Friday of 2011! HIGH FIVE!  I'm linking up with From My Grey Desk blog again.  I love her blog!

1.Spending time with my family for Christmas.  Hubby and I were living in Louisiana and this is the first year in over 3 years that we've been able to see everybody!

2. Getting a new blow dryer!  Mine blew up the first year we were in Louisiana and I never bought another one.  I have no idea how I survived that long!

3.  OUR JACKETS CAME IN!  I didn't think that our coats would be in before Christmas.  Huge surprise when we opened them at Dad's house on Sunday.  LOVE IT!


4.  Playing with my niece Dayton.  She is so much fun!

5. Watching CJ and Ella open the toothbrush gifts we got them and needing to IMMEDIATELY brush their teeth.  Priceless!

High Five Friday!!

In the spirit of Christmas, I've decided to mix it up a tad and also include things that I'm grateful for this week :)


#1. My Pinterest invite!  WOOP!  Thanks to a good pal I didn't have to wait it out on their waiting list.   I've spent only a few hours browsing so my boards are still a little bare but I'm sure that won't last long!


#2. Getting to play with one of my nieces. I absolutely LOVE when I get to see my siblings kids.  Makes my day!




#3. It's Hubby's payday!  And two days before Christmas!  Coincidence?  I think not!

#4. Being able to spend the Holidays with family.  Hubby and I had been living in Louisiana so this will be the first Christmas in 3 years that we get to be with family!

#5. I'm grateful for Hubby.  He is an amazing man!  I'm so glad that he came into my life and has made me feel complete.  I can't imagine a world without him. 

That's Hubby and I.  We'd only been dating about a month in this pic :)


Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves. ~Eric Sevareid


The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis


One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly. ~Andy Rooney


Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836


There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries. ~W.J. Cameron

High Five Friday!!

My top 5 super, fantastic things that happened this week!  YAY!!

Here we go..



#1.  My Momma's birthday was on Sunday and I got to spend the morning with her!


#2.  Hubby took me out to dinner on Wednesday night.  Nothing fancy but we got to spend some time together and did a bit of Christmas shopping!  I love shopping for other people!


#3. Hubby and I love the show "How I Met Your Mother".  He got me hooked on it a couple of Valentines Day's ago and now we only watch it a season at a time. It's so much better without commercials!



#4. MY FINANCIAL AID CAME IN!!!!  I am officially going back to school to finish my degree starting Jan. 14!  WOO HOO!

#5.  This hasn't happened yet but, tomorrow Hubby and I are going to order our jackets.  My dad runs a small farm and every couple of years he buys us Carhartt jackets with the farm name embroidered on the back.  This will be Hubby's first jacket!  So excited!!
