Wow, this month has been a roller coaster!  Work has been more stressful than ever before, so by the time I get home I am soooo done.  At least the weekends have been nice and relaxing for the most part.

So here’s what I’ve been up to this month.

Currently Watching

Dancing with the Stars.  Nyle Dimarco, one of the contestanst who happens to be deaf, has completely amazed me.  Although I haven’t watched every week from the beginning, it’s been a pretty good season over all.

We are also watching Arrow and The Flash, although, I’m not into these shows too much anymore. I typically scan Facebook and browse the internet while half paying attention.

As far as Alias goes – we had to stop.  It was just too painful.  I hate not finishing something, but there was just so much to pick apart in that show.  I felt the only reason why it stayed on for so long was because in every episode someone took their clothes off.  If someone can tell me the show gets better in seasons 4 & 5 we might reconsider – otherwise it’s just not worth it.

Currently Reading

“Life Management for Busy Women: Living Out God’s Plan with Passion & Purpose” by Elizabeth George.  Done!!!  I give it 3 stars.  Nothing too amazing, but I don’t regret reading it.  I will probably write a short post on it.

Now to finish Harry Potter…

Currently Making/Baking

Ummm….unfortunately I have nothing exciting this month that I’ve made or baked.  Just the typical weeknight recipes.  Hopefully next month I’ll have something worth posting about. :)

Current Obsession

Ipsy!  You can check it out here!  I had been hearing a lot about it lately and since I came down with a recent makeup obsession I decided to give it a try.  After having an incredibly stressful work week, coming home to find a bright pink package sitting in my mail box couldn’t have been a better welcome-home gift on Friday night.  Inside was a cute little makeup bag (which is included in every month’s subscription package) and 5 little (some not so little!) products.  For $10, I felt it was totally worth it.  I plan to write a post on this as well. :)

So that’s that!   This weekend is totally drizzly and stormy and I am loving it!  It’s the perfect weather to get stuff done around the house…or to just sit and read. ;)

Oh yeah!  And we might go couch shopping later.  We currently have a black leather couch (not my favorite), but it’s been kinda falling apart and becoming uncomfortable to sit in.  So we’ll see what we can find, with Memorial weekend coming up we’re really hoping to find some awesome deals!

Anyway…Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!  Have a happy Saturday!

Have you ever smelled something that completely took you to another place in time?  Or tasted something that instantly brought a memory to life?

I just had that happen.  It was random and not at all something I expected from a watermelon Jolly Rancher.

The instant it touched my tongue I suddenly flashed back to when I was little running around outside in the sunshine.  Apparently watermelon Jolly Ranchers take me back to summer and laughter.  Just like homemade lemonade takes me to swimming in the backyard of a friends house and laying out on my little mermaid beach towel.

I wonder if different flavors would bring up different memories?

I think I might just have to buy a bag and test it out.  : )

Something has been on my mind lately…

~ First – what is up with these sayings that “Real woman have this” or “REAL women look like that”??

ALL WOMEN ARE REAL WOMEN!!!

Whether you are tall, short, skinny, curvy, have short hair, long hair, are buff, are weak, shy, outgoing, confident, you name it…if you are a woman then you are a REAL woman and YOU matter.

~ Second – stop the judging and the gossip.  Seriously, just stop.  Life is hard enough on its own without everyone’s negativity.  There is nothing good that comes out of it, no matter which side you are on.

Let’s start celebrating each others differences and encourage each other instead.

Ok?  Ok.
