Weekend Shenanigans

Kept seeing a few blogs I follow link up to http://www.samisshenanigans.com/ so today is my first time =).


Still can't believe it's Monday. I wanted this weekend to drag but instead, it flew by. So this morning I said good-bye to Will...for I'm not sure how long. So hopefully more summer cleaning and this blog will keep me occupied. And when it doesn't, wine and Netflix always work.




Friday night I made a dinner of spaghetti, garlic butter crescent rolls and fudge walnut brownies.

 We watched some Netflix and played NCAA 14 on the PS3. As usual, he was the FSU Seminoles and I was the Florida Gators (I won but I'm still not entirely sure he doesn't do that on purpose).


Saturday we got up early (huge shocker) and got dressed to go out on a day date. We're pretty fortunate  financially  to be able to do this on a normal routine. Helps keep the romance alive, doing new things, surprises, dressing up, etc. Will is generally a huge romantic so that works in his favor ;). I've been wanting BJ's Brewhouse, specifically their orange cream soda and their bruschetta. Sad day. They were out of the cream soda so we both got root beer. I ordered the grilled chicken club with a side salad and Will got the fish & chips, which was incredible!! I've slowly been trying to try new foods. I'm typically the person who orders the same thing every time we go somewhere but I'm trying =). After our yummy lunch, we finally went and watched Despicable Me 2. Oh my goodness, it was so adorable. I want a minion. Badly. After the movie ended, we both had a sweet tooth so we grabbed some doughnuts from Krispy Kreme and went grocery shopping at Target. Target is my weakness. I always end up leaving with more than I went for, and me having the debit card doesn't help matters. I console myself with: " I save 5% and every purchase helps a local school." Except my impulse grabs end up costing me more than my savings lol.  On the way home, we decided to swing by our RedBox location. Ended up getting Spring Breakers. We both 'wtf'ed the entire movie. Thankfully it was a free rental.

Sunday, I helped Will pack. And I made him some snacks to take with him. Afterwards, we just kinda lounged around. Will watched sports and I read last month's Cosmo. Went to RedBox to return Spring Breakers and ended up getting The Call. Good movie, made me cry and the ending was weird prettty much sums it up, lol. The day went by much faster than I had anticipated. We went to sleep early since he had to be up at his company at the break of dawn for formation.

Not too pleased about being up at 2:45 lol.

Have a great Monday!!

Lots of jumbled thoughts

It's finally Friday. The hubs worked late so I planned a date night in. Sketti, slightly homemade garlic butter crescent rolls and fudge walnut brownies. Needless to say, our apartment smelled amazing and Will was ecstatic about the special meal.


My best friend arrived home safely after her trip visiting family and I'm so thankful for that =).

I made a decision tonight I'm slightly uneasy about. I let two people sorta back in my life and I'm hoping it works out. I don't need any added unnecessary stress right now. But the circumstances are difficult to say the least.


I have a new friend- Brittany from http://brittscozycorner.blogspot.ca/. Thanks again for the follow- looking forward to many more blog readings =).

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who constantly cancel plans without a reason. In the past two weeks we've wasted time, money and effort that could've been used elsewhere. So no more of that.

It's almost midnight and cuddles with Will and LuLu are calling my name. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

I really hate the 'D' word

Last night....didn't exactly go the way I planned. See, Will comes home with the news instead of moving to Georgia soon, we may be going through deployment number 2 soon. Lets just say my world stopped. At first, I just asked the usual questions,'When and where.' I was in extreme shock. You can try to prepare yourself all you want, but once you get the news, it sucks. And I know with Will being an active duty soldier, this was gonna happen. But still, ugh.  As soon as Will went to bed, the news broadcasted and confirmed my fears. It's really happening. And that's when I lost it. =(

All I can do is pray. I know Will has the want to serve his country. I'm so proud of him for that. But I need my husband to grow old with me. But I know God has His hand in all of this. I take great comfort in that. And until he gets official orders, whether they're PCS or deployment, I'm going to make every second I have with him count. ❤

Pasta Salad and Philip Wesley

My musical taste is quite like my blogging style, it goes from one extreme to the other. My favorite Pandora channels are : Christian contemporary, traditional country, 90's Pop, Glee cast, Puddle of Mudd and Faded(rap). Typically just listen to it for the music, especially during one of my cleaning fits lol. And I love cooking to the classical new age station. Which is what I'm doing now. Blogging in between dinner prep and listening to Philip Wesley. 

His music is so hauntingly beautiful. I cannot get enough. 

I'm making a prepare ahead dinner tonight, since my scheduled maintenance hasn't arrived and I don't want to wait all day and dinner not be ready. So, shrimp pasta salad it is. I love this meal. I add black olives and tomatoes to ours. =).

I also randomly decided I want Jell-O so we're trying the fruit punch tonight. Hopefully it's good =).

My Life in Pictures

This is my husband, William Michael. I adore him. We've been together for 5 years now ❤. He's a soldier in the US Army and one of the best things to ever happen to me. 

These three girls pictured are among my best friends. We're not as close as we once was, but I still love them with all of my heart. ❤

This is my Momma and Gamma. I adore them. They gave me anything I could've wanted or needed while teaching me valuable life lessons. ❤

Our fur baby LuLu. . She's a pampered pooch. 

Our nephew Hunter. He never fails to put a smile on my face.

My gorgeous rings.

Top 10 Tuesday

I haven't done a weekday themed post in a long time, so I sincerely apologize if someone else does this. If you do, let me know in a comment and I'll link up to you =)).


Products is my topic of choice for this Tuesday =). If you have any suggestions on things to try, let me know. I love trying new things =).

• Essie nail polish. My favorites right now are Watermelon, In the Cab-Ana and Mint Candy Apple. They're just perfect colors for summer =).
• Suave Kids Sun & Surf shampoo. If I could live in our pool, I would. When Will was on vacation, we spent four days straight in the water. We did a day at the pool, a day in the river/lake thing and two days at the water park nearby. And I'm still a kid at heart.
• Hawaiian Tropic's after sun moisturizer in the lime coolada fragrance. No matter how often I apply sunscreen I still manage to burn. This feels and smells amazing for those times.
• Olay's Fresh Effects powered contour cleansing system. It makes my face feel super soft and I don't have as many PMS inspired break outs as I use to.
• Maybelline's new cat eye mascara. And the tube is so cute too!
• Calvin Klein's One Summer perfume for her. It reminds me of home (the great Sunshine state)
• Smashbox's primer. I use the color correction since I was blessed with always flushed cheeks, but it helps tone down the redness.
• Pantene Pro-V hair masques. Summer always tends to be brutal to my hair.
• On a different note- Lysol's new hydrogen peroxide cleaner. It gets the job done without the harsh smell. And it works on everything.
• Downy Unstopables. I use the fresh for the mister's laundry and a mix of the spring and shimmer for mine. And the scent lasts. =)
