200th Post!

It's my 200th post! That's exciting! 

Yesterday I got a ton of questions on where I purchased my shoes and top. The shoes I found at Target and the top I found at Charlotte Russe. Each item was under $30.00, which was great!

Tomorrow and Friday, I will be posting as normal but Saturday-Wednesday are going to be pre-scheduled post. I'll be out of town and I'm not 100% sure that I'll have internet access or time to post from the road. Make sure you check back because I've got a good topic theme I'm debating on writing about!

Happy Veterans Day! Don't forget Applebees is feeding veterans for FREE today!

Shopping & Excitement

The other day I talked about going shopping. I'm glad to say that I found everything I was looking for and just in time for my upcoming trip! 

My new top...

My new shoes...

And I got some really cute jeans but sadly I can't find a picture of them on the internet. 

Currently, I'm in full countdown mode. This week cannot go by fast enough! I have SO many great things coming up. Friday, one of my very best friends is coming into town. We're gonna have dinner together because sadly I'll be leaving town afterwards and won't get to see her for the rest of her trip. Then I'll be going out of town to see other fabulous people and then when I come back mid week, it's the Gary Allan concert! Where I have fabulous front row, floor seats. Oh yes! A really good friend of mine is coming into town for the concert so it's going to be twice the fun, getting to see her and being on the front row!

Also..if you haven't heard this little movie is coming out next week...

Give Away Winner & Kim Z.

The winner of my blog anniversary giveaway was chosen by random.org, so without further ado Chi Chi,  send me your e-mail and the snowmen will be in the mail! Congrats! 

Don't be sad if you didn't win. I think I'll be doing another holiday theme giveaway before Christmas gets here. 

So, let's talk about a woman named Kim Zolciak.

Don't know who this woman is? Let me tell you who she is...she's one of the featured housewives on Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta. Since the Atlanta version of the show aired, Kim has received a lot of flack for various things. Examples: The fact that she's not married, Is sleeping with a married man(who's separated from his wife), constantly wears a wig, drinks to much wine and won't quit smoking (I really wish you would Kim). 

Now, if you've seen the show then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't there's a few things you may not know about her: She has two daughters. She's created her own wig line. Put out a hit song called, Tardy For the Party and is now traveling doing club appearances for singing. Why am I talking about her? Because through it all she's never listened to one negative thing said about her. She lets it roll off her back. I think it's amazing! The fact that she's getting her name out there and using it to promote her business ventures! I mean hello free PR! People laugh at her but plain and simple she's raking in the cash and having a good time. Do you watch the show? What do you think?

I Fly Above

I’m so comfortable in the skin I’m in, I’m secure about who I am, so you go ahead and talk all you wanna, I built up a shell and it’s hard and it’s armored. It seems like every step I take up, drama comes along with the bread I cake up. But you aint doing nothin if you don’t have haters, so I welcome you to do what’s in your nature. 

I’m like a jet airplane, way too high to hear you throwing salt on my name. I know I’m not the only one if people love to hate you go and throw your hands up go ahead and spread your wings cuz you gotta fly above. 

I fly above all the drama, I I fly above, I I fly above, I I fly above, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me. So I fly above all the haters, I I fly above, I I fly above, I I fly above, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me 

If everybody hatin’ cuz you fly-i-i, then gon throw yo hands in the sky-i-i, if people jealous cuz you live yo li-i-ife, then gon throw yo hands in the sky-i-i, see I aint even worried bout you and your insecurities, the only thing that matters is my family and G.O.D. I’m a shooting star but my feet still on the ground and when you flying high people wanna shoot you down 

I’m like a jet airplane, I’m way too high to hear you throwing salt on my name. I know I’m not the only one if people love to hate you go and throw your hands up go ahead and spread your wings cuz you gotta fly above. 

I fly above all the drama, I I fly above, I I fly above, I I fly above, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me. So I fly above all the haters, I I fly above, I I fly above, I I fly above, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me, it’s beneath me 

All you haters (haters), you’re the wind beneath my wings (wind beneath my wings), you just make me fly higher (higher), higher (higher), higher, ooh you just make me fly higher, make me fly higher, make me fly higher

Planting A Seed

Today is the LAST day to enter my giveaway, if you haven't done so already do it here. 

Ok...I have so much I want to say right now, that I can't even make coherent sentences. I'm going to really try so please bare with me. 

See this little, teeny, tiny seed? 

Well it can grow into this...fast

What do those seeds represent? Doubt. When it comes to me trusting people, once a seed of doubt is planted it can't be erased. The doubt will always be there and the trust will never be as strong as it once was, therefore the one seed sprouts little friends. Before I know it little seeds of doubt have been planted in every direction and all trust is lost. 

Right now all I can see is seeds. 

Can you trust someone once you've been given reason not to?

Theater Thursday

Theater Thursday Christmas Edition is BACK! We took a 1 week hiatus last week for Halloween. Now we're back in Christmas business! This week we'll be taking a look at the movie Love Actually. 

Love Actually takes place in London, England (one of my favorite places btw) during the holiday season. The movie follows the story lines of 7 different romance stories. The theme: "love is all around". There's a politician, a writer, an entertainer, a hopeless romantic, a married couple, grieving father & an overworked single. 

The movie also has some very big name stars in it: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley & Emma Thompson just to name a few. 

If you're a hopeless romantic like me, then you'll definitely love watching this movie. It gives off a great holiday feel. Watch it!

New things

I'm pretty excited. Today I'm having my custom made dvd shelf delivered. Yes, that's right I said custom made dvd shelf. If you haven't heard, I'm a big fan of movies (Theater Thursdays) and buying dvds. I never rent...I buy. I don't do Netflix because my mail always gets sent to the wrong addresses, so I just end up buying them. After years of this, I have about 800+ dvds. And yes I know that's a lot. About 2 months ago I decided I needed a better shelf to hold them all so I called up a fabulous carpenter/woodmaker and told him what I wanted. Well, today he will be bringing it over. The only sad part? Writing him a check that includes one too many zero's. 

In other news, I watched the new show V last night. Um...fabulous! I've now added it to my weekly watch list. If you missed it go to abc.com or hulu and catch up. It was goooood. 

Apart from the new shelf being delivered I'm tackling some Christmas shopping. I have a pretty large family when it comes to the uncle department. In recent years they've all acquired wives which means another gift. So I'm on a mission to get all of those gifts bought today. And I may or may not be looking to score some fabulous skinny jeans and black heels for myself along the way....

Flying By

I don't know if it's just me but I really feel like time is flying! There's not enough time in the day to get everything done. The days feel shorter with the time change and the darkness coming earlier. I know this post is gonna seem so scattered but that's how my brain is right now! I've been super busy. Here's just a few things I've been doing... I'm knitting like no tomorrow for the Etsy shop I'm trying to start. I've bought my Christmas exchange ornaments for my exchange partner. AND the thing running across my brain the most...a few short days till I see the boo!!!

Speaking of time running out, have you entered my giveaway which ends on Friday? If not, go here!

Tonight is the new show V, I'm gonna give it a try. Anyone else?

Etsy Mania & November excitement

I have become obsessed with Etsy. I love that site. You can find anything and everything on there. I'm loving some of the jewelry that I've found on there, among other things. Do you Etsy? If so what do you look for on there?

I'm thinking about opening up an Etsy store. I'm a pretty good knitter so I've been working on some knitwear. Once I get a few pieces done maybe I'll add them to the site. 

So November is here and I'm super excited! Apart from December, the month of November is one of my favorites! With it comes some of my favorite things! Like...

Thanksgiving Turkey

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and....

Black Friday Shopping! 

What activities are you looking forward to this month?

Halloween...Goodbye!

Hello! I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween last night!

My costume! A 60/70's gal!

I enjoyed Halloween but move over October, because I'm so glad it's November! I can't believe there's only 2 months left in this year?!? Where has the time gone? Wow. I'm under the 2 week mark for seeing the boo! So excited! 

Alright guys and gals it's time for me to catch up on reading blogs. If you haven't noticed the lack of commenting, it's because I'm 2 days behind!
