It’s Tuesday y’all! Woo hoo! One last day of work and it’s my weekend. Thank you Lord! This week’s T2T is: Two Random Facts about You! Wanna get in on the fun? Click the image above. 

1. I sucked my thumb until I was fourteen! Now, don’t go judging. There are a ton of you that still sleep with your blankies or that special plush bear with missing arms and legs but my comfort blanket was sucking my thumb. I had to stop when I got my braces and my bite plate, as there was no room for my teenage sized thumb! ha ha. There are only a handful of peeps that know this fact, so there ya go! Now, when I get tired I play with my left ear. I did this along with sucking my thumb but since I finally consider myself a grown-up I only play with my ear when I am dead.beat.tired! Whew! I feel so much better airing that. 😉 My shrink would be so happy. 

2. I am obsessed with Cardigans. It’s sick. I probably own every single shade of BP’s quarter and full-length cardi’s. They are my fav. I am also a sucker for any cardigan that has an embellishment of any sort: ruffles, a cute flower, cute buttons, etc. 

and a third for good measure: I have to speak to my Mother at least two times a day. I usually call her on my way to work and if she doesn’t answer or call me back before I step foot in the door I start to shake, okay, maybe not really but I have to let her know what I have been doing and to know what she and my Dad have been doing. I also have to call her as soon as I am leaving work. Y’all are probably thinking I am ridiculous, I am after all three short months away from turning twenty-nine, but it’s just one of those things. I am a mama’s girl, always have and always will be. I love her and love talking to her. I just wish we lived closer.  

What are two random facts about yourself?

I am now going to hide from embarrassment. 

This post couldn’t have come at a better time! Thanks Tay! I have learned a lot about friendship lately, especially once I had Payton. I became closer with my sister, who has three children and started surrounding myself with ladies who share the same lifestyle. I found that I no longer had anything in common with other friends and started new positive friendships. The two major things I have learned about friendships is that there are two types: sincere and superficial. I have had a new friend come into my life and honestly, I thank my lucky stars that she is my friend. She is a friend that comes over wearing pj’s, where we drink a margarita and drive fifteen minutes to the best donut shop EVER. I can be me, we do not judge eachother, we embrace eachother’s positive and negative sides like real friends should. She has taught me how to be the real me, again. Two things I have learned are that there are: 

2. Snacking: I prefer to call it grazing because I would rather do this all day instead of sit down for a meal. I always have hummus in our fridge. Our fav is TJ’s roasted red pepper or their white bean and pesto hummus. We will pair this with some crudites or some lightly salted pita chips. For lunch or dinner I  add hummus to a sandwich or wrap with a ton of veggies. 

 and a third . . . 

3. Trail Mix – I love TJ’s “simply the best trek mix”. Any trail mix has to have the right balance of fruit to nut ratio.

Have a great week y’all! 

I love Spring even though it is more like Summer here at the moment. I cannot wait for Spring, especially for clothing. . . that is as long as I burn off these last few pounds for some super adorable looks. My ever revolving electric sign is moving across my forehead as a constant reminder – 

I really hope that Spring brings me a much needed vacay, or even in Summer for that matter. We have a couple on our mind but as always there are minor details like money that take into account. 🙂 

Here are my picks for cute Spring looks:

Love Taylor’s pick so I am stealing it! I have to own this dress. A simple Barbeque with friends, errands or to lounge. Oversized sunglasses, flip flops and an oversized hat.  Love this! 

Top 2 Strange Addictions 

Sadly, I have way more than two addictions. Most are daily addictions like checking FB right away (totally trying to stop that), checking my daily blog list or that I start twitching if I don’t have my venti iced Starbucks double shot. . .okay, maybe not literally but, you get it! My strangest addictions are:

1. Putting chapstick (preferably carmex original or chapstick original) on right after I do my make-up, before I get in bed and probably fifteen other times throughout the day. If I know I don’t have one of my eight tubes on me I will lick my lips until they bleed (okay, maybe not that far). I am totally addicted to wearing chapstick. Even when I put on lipgloss I prep my lips with some petroleum before lustering them up. I know many others share this same “addiction”.

2. Snickers. This is more of a guilty pleasure and I usually will only have one every other month. Since I was a kid I have always eaten around each layer. I love to savor each layer of yumminess, weird?  I do the same with Reese’s too! I will eat the chocolate off and then I go for the caramel and peanut layer and then enjoy the last sinful layer of nougat. So good! Everytime I enjoy a piece of candy Jim always looks at me and laughs. He always assumes after the eleven years of knowing him that I would change my ways. . .I don’t think so babe! It just doesn’t taste the same when you throw the whole thing in your mouth. Damn! I wish I had a mini Snickers on me now. Luckily, I have my daily espresso intake to curb my craving. . . gulp!
