I'm full of GLEE!

Why you may ask?  Because in one short day, I will be attending the GLEE concert! 

I'm not sure if you can tell but I'm a little excited!  Any TV show that combines a good storyline with AWESOME music (including songs from musicals) is a perfect fit for me!  I'm curious to see what songs they'll go with for the live show.  Here's what I'm hoping for:

1.  Loser Like Me

2.  Don't Stop Believing

3.  Empire State of Mind

4.  I Want to Hold Your Hand

5.  Born this Way

6.  Start Me Up/Living on a Prayer Mashup

7.  I Feel Pretty/Unpretty Mashup

8.  Somebody to Love

9.  For Good

10.  Don't Rain on My Parade

11.  Firework

12.  River Deep/Moutain High

13.  Lucky

14.  Marry You

15.  Teenage Dream

Really, if they even did just a few of these I'd be a happy girl! 

Who'd a thought I'd turn out to be such a GLEEK! :)

Trend-setting?

I have a problem.......or so I thought!

While doing a little closet spring cleaning, I came to a realization that I have a ton of striped shirts.  Horizontal striped shirts to be specific.  Thick stripes, skinny stripes, different colors....you name it, I've probably got it!  The funny thing is that I never realized my tendency to wear stripes!  Anyway, after getting rid of about 8-9 striped shirts (don't worry, I kept a few), I felt as though I had this little addiction under control. 

HOWEVER......

I was watching a daytime talk show today (yay for holidays that allow me to have a day off!) and the stylist said that stripes are totally in for this season!  So what I originally thought of as a problem, I'm now realizing is just me being trend-savvy! 

Have a great Memorial Day everyone!  Enjoy your day off and remember to thank any soldiers you may run into!

And remember, go forth ladies and embrace the STRIPES! :)

MIA

Sorry I have been MIA lately.  It's been a busy few weeks and between working three jobs and applying for teaching jobs, I just haven't had much time for blogging!  Which is not to say that I haven't wanted to blog!  I have!  Promise!  I'm hoping to have more time soon!

Anyway, today I pulled up Yahoo's homepage to check my e-mail and saw some of the coolest pictures in their little news section.  You have got to see these because they are ah-maz-ing! If I had even a tiny smidgen of this artist's talent, well.....I'd be set for life! (The artist is Edgar Mueller) Check out these 3D street paintings he did:

How COOL are these? 

The Resurrection Story....

......as told by a third grader:

"Jesus sufficated himself for us 'cause we're bad people...well not always....but sometimes we do bad stuff.  So Jesus sufficated himself.  And then the Dementors came and Jesus' best friend Peter pretended he didn't know Jesus.  Then it got even worse because Judas told on Jesus and then Jesus had to die on a cross.  That's like a little 't'.  They put nails in his hands and then he died.  But he came back to life on Easter, not like a ghost though.  He wasn't a ghost.  He was a real person and the Dementors were happy and so was this lady named Mary.  It's a good story!"

Kids have such a way don't they?  I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

What I'm Loving Wednesday.....

I haven't linked up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday in awhile.  Time to get back on the wagon I'd say! :)

{ I'm Loving }

That my Victoria's Secret swimsuit came last week and I. LOVE. IT!!!  Now, if only I could convince myself to work out a little bit more so I'd have a dancer's body in it!

{ I'm Loving }

That this weekend is EASTER and I'm heading to my parent's house in Wisconsin.  I'm really looking forward to spending the holiday with my new little cousin, aunt/uncle, grandma and immediate family!  It should be a lot of fun!

{I'm Loving}

Modern Family and Better With You!  Seriously, after a crazy day there is nothing better than sitting down with a glass of wine to some AWESOME comedy! 

{ I'm Loving }

That after I finish this post, I'm GOING TO BED!!!  I have had far too many late nights lately and it's starting to catch up with me.  I can hear my bed calling my name!

As Always.... { I'm Loving }

My favorite little feline, Chloe! :)

(yes, she really jumped into the washer...what can I say, the cat likes to be clean! ;)

{ I'm NOT Loving }

The fact that it is April 20th and it SNOWED today!  Seriously?!?!  I'm SO ready for SPRING/SUMMER!!!!

What are you loving today?  Go link up!

Dear World,

I completely understand that today is Monday and Monday's traditionally tend to be a bit slower of a day.  (trust me, I'm rockin' a totally crappy hairstyle today because I was moving a bit slower than usual this morning.)  However, despite this, do you think we could attempt to speed things up just a little bit?  I mean really, Ms. Cashier, do you have to bag groceries at a snail's pace?  And Mr. Blue Sedan:  it's called a stop sign, not a stop and wait for ten minutes sign.  I've got an insanely busy week with a lot to get done.  If you could just help me out a little by speeding yourself up or staying out of my way, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks so much! :)

Happy Birthday Chloe!

Guess who graduated from their terrible two's into their terriffic three's today?!

Ms. Chloe-Cat!

(we're calling that her birthday crown!)

We obviously celebrated this milestone today with lots of snuggling, playing, a yummy dinner (fancy feast appetizers-WET FOOD!) and a brand-new CATNIP hedgehog toy!  Can you say spoiled?!  She absolutely loves her new hedgehog though....in fact, when I teasingly try to take it away from her, she smacks my hands away with her paws! 

Happy Birthday to my baby-girl, Chloe! :)
