Day 10: Favorite Girls Night Out Event

Day 10: Favorite Girls Night Out Event

I'm a fan of going to dinner or to someone's house and catching up.  It seems like we're all always so busy, so it's nice to just get to hang out and talk.  We did recently decorate Christmas cookies and that was fun, and it still involved lots of talking!

Day 9: Favorite thing to do on a cold winter day

If I had my choice, I would go snowboarding. When it gets close to that cold in Florida, in my mind we might as well have snow that day. But, that's not usually how it works.

I love to bake during cold weather. They go hand in hand for me. Maybe subconsciously, my body thinks I need more fluff to stay warm :-)

I also like to sit in front of a fire, hanging out with friends & family

A good movie snuggled under a blanket.

Oh, and running is always a joy when it's cold & dry over the darn humidity we usually have.

Day 8: Favorite Healthy Snack

Day 8: Favorite Healthy Snack

I love almost all fruits. Sometimes I add peanut butter to make it extra yummy + protein.

Popcorn is another good snack. Not too many calories, but it's a light happy snack.

Five Question Friday!

1. What is your current favorite book, and why?

My current favorite book... I really don't know.  I don't have a book that's my favorite to read.  I usually never re-read books.  I'm reading 'Decision Points' by George W. Bush right now...it's pretty good so far.  I'm enjoying seeing his perspective on why he chose to go certain directions. 

2. Do you go to the dentist regularly?

Every 6 months without fail.  My granddaddy was a dentist, my mom is a dental hygentist, so I've always been right on top of that.  I rather enjoy going...I love the way my teeth feel aftewards.  Plus, I have a thing about teeth...I NEVER miss the dentist.

3. What is your worst memory from High School?

My worst high school memory involved "friends" and how mean girls could be.  It wasn't really just one time, but in high school, I think at one point, every girl is stabbed in the back by someone.  It was a good lesson learned I suppose, that you can't trust everyone, but at the same time, it tainted my view of female relationships for a long time.  I held onto one of two close girls, but the rest, I kept at arms length.  I've since gotten over that after finding non-drama seeking friends, but it took a while.  Now, I'm just smarter when it comes to picking those I let in close.

4. What do you hope to be remembered for in your life?

I want to be remembered for being awesome.  Ha.  No, no.  Seriously, I want to be remembered for being a kind person, who was loving to those she came in contact with.  I hope to grow a business one day to be a successful one.  I want to be known for giving back and investing in people.  I want to be known for being a wonderful wife.  Oh, and I'd like to be remembered for being fun and laughing a lot!

5. Are you superstitious or do you have any superstitions?

Only during Gator games.  If anyone "predicts" anything for the Gators, I make them knock on wood.  That's pretty much all I've got in the superstitions area :)

Day 6: Best Organization Tip

Day 6: Best Organization Tip

Get rid of things you don't use!  

You know that sweater you've had since 12th grade?  You're 26, you haven't worn it since 12th grade...it's time to throw it away!  If you really do think you'll wear it again, then by all means keep it.  But, be honest with yourself.  This goes for anything in the house, from knick knacks to decorations that have been in a closet since you moved in 10 years ago, to shoes, workout equipment, cleaners...ect.  You get the picture.  You might even get lucky and be able to sell it and get some $$ from it!  If it hasn't been used in a long time (or is expired) it's probably time to part with it.  That's my biggest problem, but I feel so much better when things are organized and not cluttered!  Good luck!!!

Wedding Wednesday

Hair.  Oh hair.  I'm in a bit of an indecisive place right now about my hair on the big day.  We are getting married on the beach...which means lots of wind.  Ideally, I'd want my hair to look something like one of these styles:

But...there's the wind!  So I'm sort of thinking of wearing it back...at least a little so the whole time I'm trying to focus while committing to spend the rest of my life with John, I'm not laughing because my hair is flying everywhere.  So, I look at styles like these:

My dress is strapless, so I want some type of flowy hair, but do you think the wind would be too much?  Should I wear it up, or should I chance it and go with the down, beachy curls??

What would (or did) you do?
