SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I have an obsession with meal planning....I literally get a high from having dinner written down in my planner like 2-3 weeks out.
• I'm sitting in the dark, TV paused writing this right now while hubs puts Chloe down to bed....and I'm really enjoying just listening to the keyboard keys clicking.
• I can't wait to place my Scentsy order at the end of the month so I can try the new Spring/Summer scents! Who wants some?!
• I'm never actually hungry after I eat dinner, but nights when I know I can't eat....like tonight, because I have a physical tomorrow and I have to fast, yea...I'm starving right now. WHY?!?!
• We have an orange bathroom, and I love it.
• Chloe's room will be pink and white with black trim! I cannot wait! Next on the list to buy for her room will be a zebra lamp, and a name decal for her wall.
• I always say that I'm going to use coupons when I go grocery shopping...but I still haven't.
• Hubs kept Chloe home from school on Monday because she had a really bad diaper rash and cried to him that she didn't want to go to school because her butt hurt...lol! What a good daddy!
• We're going to try potty training cold turkey at school next week.....jumping right in, head first! Teachers said that they have had good luck with it doing it this way, so we're going to try it! Most of the kids in Chloe's class are wearing undies to school now, so it's time!
• Chloe stays dry when she's in a diaper and knows that she needs to potty, but when we put undies on her, she pees AND poops....I think she does it on purpose. Just to mess with me.
• I'm starting to think about what I can get Chloe to wear on her birthday! Must be something good with tulle from Etsy, I think! Yep!

Alright, that's all for me! Head over to Shannon's page and tell us what you're saying SO WHAT! to this week....

And wish me luck that I make it without coffee till my Physical is done today. Appt is at 8:30 :-( I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get a Venti from Starbucks on my way back into work :-/

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I wish I had the whole week off work for my birthday.
• The next 3 weeks can really not go by fast enough for me....
• I ate cake.....and lots of it. Damnit, it was my birthday, and it only comes around once a year....
• Now that I ate cake, I need to be VERY GOOD this week and try to be under my calories so that I don't gain weight.
• I have gotten a whole new wardrobe for summer, meaning I have a whole new wardrobe to take with me to Florida.
• Since I got my Scentsy order from all the discontinued scents that I got, I no longer have enough room in the drawer that I stored all my other scents. Now, I think I'm going to have to get a storage tub of some sort to keep them all in.....admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
• Hubs and I haven't drank alcohol in over 2 weeks.....And NO! I'm not pregnant.
• I'm in love with my new Ashbury Scentsy warmer....so much so, that I'm not sure I'll want to change it when a new holiday comes around. LOL!

Fab Friday

It's been a few weeks since I've linked up with the Always Fabulous Laura from The Everyday Joys! She's amazing in every single way a blogger can be, and to top it all off, she's on my Scentsy team....(or shall I say, I'm on hers....lol) Anyways, here is my list of Fab things that are....well....Fab for me:

• Our Day Care Tuition goes down starting today! We prepay for the 2 weeks ahead, and Chloe starts room 6 on Monday, so today's Tuition payment is $470 instead of $570! Sucks that we have to start supplying them with diapers, but that's only until she is potty trained! Thank the dear lord!
• The scale has been fabulous for me this week...it actually hasn't moved up or down, and for me, that's a win! I don't care that I don't see it moving, as long as it's not going up, that works for me. I've been VERY VERY consistent with my tracking calories and I've been under, or over by very little for the past month! So that, for me is awesome!
• Only 5 more weeks until we go to Florida and I have pretty much everything Chloe and I need as far as warmer weather clothing goes! I am sooooo stoked! She's got a few new pairs of shorts, some summer dresses, and some amazingly cute pink canvas TOMS that I ordered from Zulily yesterday! I cannot wait to get them! I just hope they make it here before we leave.....
• My work girls are amazingly sweet in that they are all helping me meet my goals for Scentsy this month.....AND because they are ordering from me, I will be able to get some stock for my parties and order some of the scents that are being discontinued! I am Soooooo excited!
• And last but not least, and maybe possibly one of the best things, because it's the one happening the soonest.....tomorrow me and my girl Mallory are getting matching tattoos! Just little outlines of hearts on out ankles. I cannot wait! 
• Oh, and to top that off....My birthday is March 5th! YAY!

So WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• I felt so bad and I wanted to link up with the fabulous Laura for her Say Hello link up on Monday, that I wrote the post and still posted it! I'm sure nobody cared, but hey, it made me feel better!
• We have skipped a few days of working out. Including yesterday and last Friday....and the weekend. Oh well. At least we get right back into it. 
• Chloe didn't get to sleep Monday night until WELL after 9:00 due to Momma getting her hair done.
• I'm addicted to a new game......Damn Candy Crush!
• It's taking us going to FL at the end of March to finally get our asses into gear and eat right and work out.
• We only do laundry on the weekends, and it usually sits in baskets until the following laundry day.
• I'm looking forward to getting a new computer at work this week.....can you say 2 22" monitors?!
• Unfortunately, I really don't have anything else to say SO WHAT! to this week.....Boring, I know!

Head over to Shannon's blog and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

• I worry about my cat when she does weird stuff. Lets face it. She's my first "born".
• I've become addicted to Kiki La Rue....in a bad bad way.
• Catfish might be my favorite show right now.....until Vampire Diaries comes back on....
• I just ordered a Piko top from Kiki La Rue....Ahhhh!!!!!
• I almost didn't have anything to write about for SWW
• We bought Chloe a Full size bed and it's being delivered tomorrow!
• I bought an $18 Tervis Tumbler to help me drink more water....and by Golly, it WORKED! Best $18 I've ever spent!
• I'm looking forward to getting back to my skinny 120 lb body! I know right now I'm only about 4 lbs above that, but I really can feel a difference.
• I'm going to wake up at 5am every morning even after my work sched changes to 8-4:30 just so that I can work out! And Hubs is going to do it with me!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• We put our faith in the Dream Lite Unicorn to get Chloe to fall asleep in her bed.....AND....it worked!!!!
• I have 11 days off work after Friday! WHOOP WHOOP!!
• I'll be lucky if I blog 5 of those 11 days.....so sorry if I go MIA.
• I've been a bottomless pit lately, and it's been nothing but cookies, candy, chocolate, caramel.....SHIT! Ugh, after the holidays, I'll get back on track!
• I freakin' LOVE the show Whitney!
• It's been very hard for me to not spend all my money on clothes right now since I told Andy that I wanted clothes for Christmas.
• I got a really nice bonus check at my work meeting on Saturday, and I really don't want to spend any of the money in my bank account because I like seeing that BIG number...lol!

SO WHAT! Wednesday

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• Seeing everyone posting pregnancy announcements really makes my uterus ache....but I know deep down I don't want that right now. So I just need to breath deep and wait for my friend to have her baby in Feb!
• I'm happy for Janelle that she came to terms with her Mom and decided to come back and take care of Jace....but lets face it, she will leave again. 
• I'd like to watch the news or something in the morning, but the toddler kind of takes the TV over....with MMCH.
• I woke up late this morning so I'm writing this at 6:45 am...trying to get it done before I have to leave for work at 7!
• I was trying to type too fast and almost deleted everything I had to this point on the last bullet....I almost cried.
• I'm wearing Jeans to work today because it's jeans day.....and because I want to save my good jeans for this weekend, I'm wearing a pair of size 9's....no that's not what size I wear....yes, they are WAY too big. But they are skinnies, so they only FEEL big!
• My phone is SO smart that it runs all kinds of updates at night and runs the battery out to the point that my alarm doesn't go off in the morning....gah!
• Pretty sure it's going to be Pizza and Wings for dinner tonight. Andy's cousin from Chicago is coming into town....boys....yea!

Now, go link up with Shannon and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to today!

Fab Friday

Linking up with Laura over at Between the Lines Blog for Fab Friday! This is where we talk about everything that is Fab in our lives!

• First and foremost, I want to call out Voxor! I absolutely love this app even better then HeyTell! First, it's awesome because HeyTell just plain sucked....it always froze on me, and you could only talk for a certain amount of time before you had to send another message to finish your throught. And....on top of those amazing things, it's pretty much like talking on a phone because you can literally listen to the person talking WHILE they are talking and they can listen to you right back. You don't have to wait until they are done talking, and the message is sent. How great is that?!
• Second Fab thing is actually a really amazing person. She is not a blogger, but I'm pretty sure she reads every once in awhile. So, her name is Jane, and she's an amazing person inside and out! I love her with all my heart, as she is one of my very best girlfriends! We worked together up until a few weeks ago when she was let go....sad sad day! Work isn't the same without her, but we still talk and keep in touch and hang out when we can. Just last night she came over for some girl talk and wine, and she also cut Chloe's hair! How amazing is that?! Not only is she a GREAT friend, but she cuts mine and Chloe's hair and she also colors mine when I need it too!! Best friend who is also a hairdresser?? Can't go wrong with that!

• And one last Fab thing is the Holidays! I seriously cannot get over this time of year right now! It's the best thing that I've ever seen, seeing my little girl look at the Christmas tree and see the presents under it. And in the morning when we try to find Peach the Elf in her new spot. She just loves it and her eyes just light up! I cannot wait until Christmas morning! She's going to love it!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I have a new addiction....it's phone cases for my Galaxy S3!
• We now have a new thing at night for bedtime...it's laying on the couch until Chloe falls asleep. She will NOT fall asleep in her bed anymore.
• I'm thinking I'm going to take a break over Thanksgiving from blogging....so if you don't see me for a few days, it's because I'm collecting my thoughts to come back with some good stuff for you!
• I'm secretly really happy that Teen Mom 2 is back on!
• I haven't seen Breaking Dawn Part 2 yet....so I don't want any spoilers!!!
• This is my last day of the work week! I took Friday off! Yay!

Go Link up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" for her SWW post!!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• I have not been on a diet for the past like 2 weeks....and honestly, I really don't care.
• We're not going to start working out again until next week, and that's fine with me!
• I'm a little nervous to have to get on stage in front of HUNDREDS of people at the ACS walk in Downtown Detroit this weekend....eeeeek!
• I'm a cheerleader for my work. Yep, I am!
• I got $100 Nailco Dollars for my 5 year review yesterday (moneys that I can use at work for product, or Friday off) and I fully intend to use it on a day off and NOT for more product that I really don't need!
• I had no intentions of buying the Pumpkin warmer from Scentsy, but the last minute LITERALLY of September, I decided to order it and I can't wait to get home today to unpack it and use it!!! Yay!!!
• Andy's Dad bought us all new brushed nickle hardware for our house! Door knobs and hinges! Eeeek! So happy about this! Now Andy is getting all the light switch plates switched. It looks SO MUCH better then brass!!

Well, that's all for me! Go link up with Shannon and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

Work Event

Every year we have this event in October. In the past it's been the Tiffany Awards, which if you are a hair dresser you know, that's the Hairdresser of the year Awards. Not sure if this is just a Michigan thing or what.  But my work hosts it. So it's pretty fun! So, anyways....this year, it's a bit different. It's being held at Sound Board at Motor City Casino and it's called Beauty Buzz! So....with that being said, it's a dressy event, and I need a new dress...We went to Macy's yesterday and I got this!!

I love this sooooo much! Now I just need a pair of heels!

American Cancer Society

Ladies and Gents! It's that time again! It's time to raise awareness of this awful disease! It's time to raise money to help create more birthdays! Here at my work we do everything we possibly can to help raise as much money as we possible can! This year, our goal as a company is $100k!!! I know we can do it! I know we can beat that!

I love Mail

Everybody loves getting mail, right? Like seriously...specially when it's things like this!!

This is my ThirtyOne Gifts order! I ordered these from my girl Mallory! She just started selling it, and she'd be more then happy to take your order if you are interested!! Hit her up if you want! She's such a sweetheart! This wasn't in my mail, but it was on my desk at work when I got there Monday morning! I got the over the shoulder organizer and the large utility tote!! I can't wait because I'm probably just going to pack all Chloe's essentials for our Maine trip in the utility tote!! And I'm already using my over the shoulder organizer as my purse! I LOVE it!!!

This, my lovely friends, is Chloe's Ah-Mazing 2nd birthday shirt!!!! It's from the lovely Deana from Isabella Inspired! Her Etsy shop is to die for, and I had a hard time picking just one thing! I cannot WAIT for her to wear this beauty! I showed it to her and her eyes LIT up!! Girl LOVES Minnie, and I can't wait to get all the decor figured out!

And, this...yes. These are samples from the Body by Vi! I saw her ad on Shannon's blog, and instantly had to contact her! I have been wanting to try the Body By Vi shakes for some time now...and I'm thinking that I might try the 90 day challenge! So, as soon as I try these shakes, I'll be sure to let you know what I think of them! I'm super excited!

So that was my exciting mail day!!! Hope everyone has a great week!!!

TNG Moving Day

Not only did I just move to a new home, but now my company is moving our building. We're moving into our warehouse, which is about 20 minutes from where we are.Yesterday we packed up our desks, and today they are breaking down all the furniture and taking it to the other building. So I'm working from a conference room. Which is fun. lol!!Starting Monday I'll be working in a whole new building. Kinda crazy. So we shall see.I'm excited.I have to go to the warehouse on Sunday to make sure my desk is set up. Not really looking forward to that, so hoping that doesn't take too long.Wish me luck!

Friday Letter's

Linking up with Ashley over at Adventures of Newlyweds for Friday Letters!!

Dear Work, Thank you for the very generous gift that you gave us at the meeting last weekend, and also. I'm going to miss you building....it's been a great 4.5 years. But moving to the warehouse is going to be a great new start!! I can't wait! Dear Chloe, I really hope that this move isn't going to ruin your sleep....you are SUCH a great sleeper and we're going to try and make it as easy and painless for you as possible. Dear New house, I cannot wait until we are settled into you. You are the perfect home for us, and it's going to be an amazing rest of our lives living in you! So, please be good to us! Dear Renters,I just ask one thing of you. Please take care of our house. It's been a great home for us to live in the past 7 years. We brought our baby home to this house and we have loved every minute of living here. But starting next week she is yours to take care of. So, please do so and keep her nice and clean. Thank you! Dear Vacation, Please hurry up and get here. I feel like I can't wait one more minute for you. And I know that after moving homes and moving buildings at work, I'm going to need every single second of vacation that I can get.Dear Belongings, Would it be possible for you to move yourself? Like, pack and somehow make it to the new house on your own without me having to lift a finger? That would be amazing!Dear Husband,Thank you for being you!! Thank you for being the best Husband and the best Daddy to our little princess!! She loves you more then life and I love you so much that you will never ever know!! You have made me the person that I am today and you are my rock! I love you!

So What! Wednesday

This week I'm saying So WHAT! If:

• I'm looking forward to NOT having to do ANYTHING to our new house when we move in.
• The only thing I want to do is redo Chloe's room at the new house.
• I wish that I could live in Maine, Wisconsin and Ohio AND Michigan. All at once. I love blog friends!
• I got a HUGE bottle of Skinny Margarita from my work meeting on Saturday, and I have yet to crack it open. I'm saving it for our first night in our new house....
• For the second night in the new house, I got a HUGE bottle of wine. Yep, I'm set for the first few nights. LOL!!!
• I bought about 5 Mickey Mouse DVD's for the trip to Maine...I think that should keep Chloe occupied for 16 hours. What do you think? 
• I want to go clothes shopping....Like, I'm DYING!
• I just want July 13th to get here like NOW! I cannot WAIT to meet my blog BFF Stepha!!!
• I need to leave you now because I want to go look at new living room furniture.

Go and link up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew"!!

Tuesday Tidbits

• Part of me is really excited to move, but the other part...I'm like weird about it. It will be a bittersweet day for me.
• I'm really worried about moving the cat. I know she's going to freak out and probably hide for about 2 days. I just hope that she gets used to the new house quick and loves it just as much as we do!
• Next week my work is moving to a new building. It's our warehouse that we're moving to, so it's not like we don't know the building, but it's still going to be weird to be in a new place at work AND at home.
• I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with all the room that we're going to have at the new house. 
• I'm pretty excited for Chloe's 2nd birthday theme. It's going to be Minnie Mouse. And I'm looking at a few things on Etsy that I'm really thinking about! I just have to wait until Friday before I order it because I want to wait until we sign on the dotted line for the house to make sure of the address for the invites.
• I think I'm most excited to furniture shop then anything else. We get new living room furniture AND new bedroom furniture!! Hell to the YEA!
• Oh, and can you say NEW, BIGGER closet?!?! Eeeek!
• I'm addicted to the Chobani Greek Yogurt! The Apple Cinnamon is my fave and it's only 140 calories for the whole 6 oz container! Can't beat that with a stick people!!
• I also need to thank the makers of Naked Fruit drinks for my recent weight loss. 3 weeks ago I was down 1.8 lbs, 2 weeks ago it was 1.2 lbs, and then last week it was 1 lbs exactly. If I keep drinking those things for breakfast I'm thinking I can drop another lb and then I'll be AT my goal!! So, look for a goal MET post next week if I do it!
• Got some pretty exciting things coming soon for my blog! I can't wait to share! Stay tuned!

Thanks for reading ladies! Hope you are all having a great week. I know I am, and I can't wait until Friday!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was pretty for me! Saturday morning my company had our Semi Annual meeting. We get together and go over the past 6 months and hope that we get some kind of bonus. And the one thing that we always look forward to at the summer meeting is the summer survival kit. My company is always so generous!! This meeting we got the usual bag of tortillas chips and salsa, popcorn, trail mix, bottle of wine, box of red wine, bottle of Skinny Margarita, $25 Olgas gift card, movie tickets and ice pops. AND I got $600. We have a rating system and if you are a 4.0 player then you get a little more then if you are say 3.5-3.75....so that made me HAPPY! I was 4.0!!!So, we had a flash mob planned to surprise the CEO! His wife planned it and picked all the people. That turned out SOOO good! We were so nervous, but it turned out awesome!Then after the meeting a few of my fave work girls went to On The Border for lunch! That was fun. Just a bunch of us having some mexican and some drinks and talking about whatever. So much fun! We laughed A LOT!!!!Afterwards, I went and got Husband his Fathers Day gift. 2 games of 18 holes of golf with a cart! He's going to love it! Saturday night he was talking about how he really wants to golf a lot this summer. Well, there ya go!! That will get you at least 2 games!Oh, and then we went to look at furniture for the new house. Since we're closing on Friday we need to get some stuff ordered. But we're going to open a credit card to get the financing so we can't order until Friday after we sign the papers.And then Sunday being Fathers Day, you would think it would be a relaxing day...doing a little bit of this and a whole lot of that. Well, we did a whole lot of packing and took 2 trips to the storage unit. Went grocery shopping and.....that's about it. We were both exhausted by the end of the day. But it was a good day. Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Less then a month, Ya'll!!!

I redid my dry erase board last Saturday for June. Once I got to the 29th I realized that we only have less then a month left in our house!! I'm sad about this. But at the same time I'm excited. We just need to hear something on our new house so we can hopefully start moving into it!! The appraisal was done last week. So, we're hoping that maybe this week, we hear that everything is good and we can set a closing date.
Like I've told you girls before, the renters are moving in on June 29th. So we have to be moved out by then. We're planning on like a week before that so that we have the time to clean, paint and all that good stuff. It's going to be really hard though. Husbands sister's graduation party is this weekend. Then on the 16th I have a work meeting that is going to last most of the day. And then Father's Day is the 17th....Aaaah! So, we're going to be REALLY REALLY busy this month. Like, busier then I think we may have ever been, ever in our 8 years together. Parties, Toddler, moving...aahhh!!!! It's going to be really hectic. But, nothing that a few alcoholic beverages won't be able to ease, I'm sure.
What I'm hoping for, I think is that my MIL won't mind maybe watching Chloe for a few hours a few days so that we can get shit moved and maybe paint if we need to. And then on moving day, I'm really hoping that she will take her. I can't imagine trying to juggle a toddler while moving. That would just be hell. And since we don't trust Chloe staying at their house, due to their dog that wants to maul Chloe every chance she gets, they will have to hang out in an empty house while we go back and forth moving. But that's ok! I'm sure they wont mind a bit.
Well, ladies. I wrote this up on Saturday night. I had a good bloggin' mojo going on and got most of my posts written up or at least drafted for the week. So, lets hope that by the time this goes live, that we will have already heard on the house and will know when we are closing.
Pray for us!
Thank you!
