31 Days and My 16th Year Wedding Anniversary

Happy Tuesday guys and gals!  Hope you're having a great week so far.  How was your weekend?  Ours was busy to say the least (aren't they always - hee hee hee).  Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick post and wish the love of my life a very happy and wonderful 16th year anniversary.  

Hard to believe we only knew each other a little over 2 months before we decided to run off to the courthouse one day at lunch and elope! (No, I was NOT pregnant- LOL).  A year later we actually had a real church wedding because it was very important to his mom since she wanted to be at the wedding too.  :) We had both had horrible first marriages and we just knew it was right and what we wanted and were looking for.  He had a son from his previous marriage who was 3 yo old, and I had a daughter from mine who was also 3 years old.  My daughter is 3 months older than his son.  It was like having twins all of these years! :)  See..... aren't they cute! :)  

Anyway, Happy anniversary my darling groom.  You are and always will be the Love of my Life and I love you more than anything in this world.  I look forward to another 16+ years with you and can't wait to see what the future holds.

Lots of love and hugs,

31 days - 1000th Post and a Giveaway!!

Happy Saturday my peeps!  How is your weekend going so far?  Great, I hope!  I am super excited!  Today was a GREAT and FUN mail day so I thought I would share my new stash with you:

Yes, ALL of these came in the mail today and I was SUPER excited! :)

 I'm LURVING this new tassel necklace and can't WAIT to wear it! :)

 I thought this was such a pretty black necklace.  

 And as you can tell from the pictures above, I ordered this in almost every color they had! :)

So... for the Giveaway - I was thinking about giving away a really cute necklace similar to one of these and maybe a scarf.  Something in Fall colors perhaps?  There are only TWO requirements:

1.  Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite thing about Fall is; and

2. Share this giveaway on your blogs (with a link back to my blog), twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram accounts then come back here and post with your blog names, user names, etc. and your email address so I can send you a note letting you know if you win.

Each place you share counts as an extra entry.  I will hold it open until next Friday, November 1st.  That will give you plenty of time to share and post on your blogs and get the word out.  Good luck!!! 

Have a great rest of the weekend and thanks for stopping by! :)

Lots of Love and Hugs,

31 days - Mug Swap!

Happy TGIF peeps!  I don't know about you but I am SO happy today is finally Friday!  This week has been completely exhausting to me.  How has your week been?  Great, I hope!  I know I'm behind a week in the 31 day series but I just haven't had time to blog at all due to work. Anyway, I joined in with the a few other girls in The Java Mama's Fall Mug Swap and it was really fun!  I had 2 swap partners because there weren't an even number of swappers, so I swapped with Becky, the host too.  Here is the one from Becky and I LURV it!  Whatcha think?! 

Isn't it CCCUUUTTEEEE??!! :)  And she also sent along a $5 gift card and a cute tag to Starbucks for a cup of coffee to go with it!  I wish I had thought of doing that same thing - usually I'm really thoughtful that way as well.  I told you it was a rough week. *sigh*

Here is the one from my other partner, Miranda:  It has sharks and surf boards all around it.  It is SO SO CUTE and I LUV it!  She also sent me a cute note and some coffee smelling scentsy bars that made my son want to eat them (he's 19 and a coffeaholic like me) - LOL  Again, a big fat FAIL from me on the extra gift thing, though I did through a small something in each of their mugs.

So what's on your agenda for the weekend?  Anything fun?  We aren't going to do too much because my husband has to work overnight for inventory on Saturday night.  We are planning to go to dinner tonight, but that's about it.  Also, I'm not sure what I've done to my back but it's been bothering me terribly all of this week so I will probably spend a lot of time laying around relaxing and trying to get it to heal up.  

Also,  be sure to stop by tomorrow.  It is my 1000th post and I've decided to give something away if I get enough of a response.  :)  I haven't decided what it will be yet, but it will probably be Holiday related since we are getting ready to go into the best time of the year! :)

Well, have a wonderful weekend lovies and thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to let me know you were here!  

Lots of love and hugs,

31 Days - Gifts from Work

Happy Thursday everyone.  Just a quick note to show off my gifts from my bosses who went out of the country.  One of my bosses went to Taiwan and Bali and she brought me back this WONDERFUL smelling lotion.  It is called Jasmine Lime and has a very clean smell to it and is NOT greasy at all, which is always a nice bonus.  I've not found hardly any type of lotion that isn't greasy - have you?  If you have any favorite lotions that smell nice and aren't greasy that you'd like to share, please do so! :)

The other item I was given was from another boss who went to China.  She brought me and some of the other girls in the office back these GORGEOUS and OH SO SOFT black 100% Cashmere Pashmina scarves.  For some reason my picture won't upload at all.  I've tried it 3 or 4 times. So here is a stock photo from yahoo.  It looks like this but in a deep dark beautiful Black color:

It is finally starting to cool down here and I'm SO happy!  It's beginning to feel like Fall and the perfect temperatures to start wearing this scarf among my other ones.  On another note, do you have any big or exciting weekend plans?  My poor hubby has to work this weekend so we won't be doing much.  I will probably play around with some Christmas Cards to find an idea for my cards this year.  

Well, thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a great weekend!

Lots of love and hugs,

31 Days - Boss' Day

Happy Thursdays guys and dolls. Hope you've been having a great week. I know I've missed a few days in the 31 day series, but needless to say, work has been CRAZY lately!  Blah.  Anyway, yesterday was National Boss's Day so the other secretary in my department and I pitched in together and gave our bosses a nice breakfast. They seemed to really enjoy it. Here are a few of the pictures from the morning, although, I'm not really sure why I can't get my cookie picture to turn right side up, but you get the idea:  :)

This was only part of our bosses - we were still missing 3 more!  We have 10 between the 2 of us (5 each). They are a great Finance group thankfully and are great to work for.  They really appreciated the breakfast and cookie cake too!  We also bought them 3 different kinds of breakfast tacos too that were really yummy! HA!

Did you celebrate Boss' Day yesterday?  If so, what did you do for your bosses or what were you given (if you were the boss?)  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  Please be sure to let me know you were here!

Lots of love and hugs,
