What I'm Loving Wednesday

I am loving a lot of things right now and if you want to participate too go to Jaime's blog and play the blog hopping game!

1.  The weather. 

I've posted about this quite a few times lately.  The dogs love it too.  They just lay in the yard all day with their legs up in the air dreaming of maybe chasing a cat or burying a bone.  Sitting outside with them in the afternoons and reading a good book is great.

This is Mason about 2 years ago.  As you can see, he is thrilled to be sporting his Halloween costume from Target.  He did good to get the cape on.  No way was he going to cooperate and let me put the horns on.  Halloween is getting closer and he doesn't have a costume this year.  Maybe this year I can put his horns on him.  He is too sweet to be the devil though :)


This was taken last week of Bella.  I had just bought the toy and even though Bella hates to fetch she didn't want her brother to have it so she takes it and plops down.  And there's no getting the toy from her either.  As soon as you come within a foot of her she will take off.  Notice Mason is a lot skinnier than Bella.  Bella is a girl and is lazy.



2.  McDonalds Caramel Frappe and Monopoly game

These are so yummy and are much cheaper than Starbucks!



Like I'm going to win big but hey it's fun.  The hubs brought me lunch from McDs today.  Who could want more than a Caramel Frappe and fries.  We each one something.  Lee won fries and I won a breakfast sandwich.  We'll start somewhere!  Maybe we'll win big this year!  Oh well it's still fun to play.


3.  A Dog's Purpose
I am currently reading this book right now.  It's a little sad but such a sweet book.  The dog is the narrator.  It's fun to think of what Mason or Bella might be thinking.

4.  Hobby Lobby
I love this store and can spend hours in here.  I love making crafts and this place is awesome.  I am really into decopage now and their scrapbook paper isle is like heaven. 



5.  Auburn Football

The weather is perfect for football!

6.  VO5 Green Tea Shampoo
This makes my hair smell soooo good!

Whatcha Say Wednesday



I found this from Candice at Stash Mama. You can check out her website and link your post too and be a blog hopper!

1. Do you have any pets, or do you want any? (Of course I love hearing pet names!)

Yes we have 2 dogs, Mason and Bella.  Aren't they cute?  They are like our children and yes I talk to them like they understand me:)

2. Are you a collector of any kind, what do you collect?

Not really.  I do have an abundance of candles though.

3. What would be your ideal place to get proposed to at...or where and how did your hubby propose to you????

The hubs proposed to me in front of my apartment after dinner.  It was sweet and I had no clue. I think somewhere outdoors (which was his original plan but fell through bless his heart) is nice...maybe at a park or a beach.  Any proposal though is romantic I think.


Bonus!
What is another word for "thesaurus"?

Day 3-Favorite Television Program



I have been a faithful watcher since Kelly Clarkson won in 2002. I loooove this show and even though Simon is gone I'm sure I'll still watch it. I'm not quite sure how the show will do with Steven Tyler and JoLo as judges though. Randy's the only original judge left. I love when January comes and the weeks of auditions. They are hilarious and I admit I record them on my DVR and watch them when I need a good laugh:)

And Grey's Anatomy runs right up there as well. I have seen every episode. Thank goodness for DVR b/c that's when Lee's shows come on on Thursday.

Tuesday Top 2



I found this neat idea at The Undomestic Momma. So please feel free to participate and leave me a comment.

Top 2 Favorite Places in Your Home
1. The Kitchen
Our kitchen is very "comfy." It is very quaint and I love the cabinets. The hubs and I love to cook (him more than me) especially on Sunday nights and we love the crockpot. Tonight we made chicken tacos and the house smiled quite nicely during the day.

2. My couch in our living room
This couch is so comfy especially on a rainy day to watch Lifetime movies
or read a good book. It's so easy to fall asleep on.

What are your favorite rooms?

Day 2- Favorite Movie



"The Hills are alive with the sound of music...." I love the Sound of Music. I have the 40th Anniversary edition on DVD. I had it on VHS when I was younger and I know all the words to every song. I love all the songs on the movie but I think my favorites are The Goodnight Song and My Favorite Things. I do love Do Re Mi also...heck I love all of them:) Christopher Plummer was quite the looker in his day and I just love Julie Andrews. The 45th edition comes out soon and I believe they are re-releasing it participating theatres. Why can't they come to Auburn?

Okay so since this is MY blog I have another favorite movie:



When I watch this movie it makes me want to move to New York and open up a little bookstore. I love Tom Hanks and I cried at the ending. What can I say I love romantic movies. It made me want Meg Ryan's hair back then but I could never pull it off.

Day 1- Favorite Song

Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright- Bob Marley
This song helps to cheer me up if I'm having a bad day. The lyrics are simple but just listening to it helps me to know that everything will be okay.
