Thanks a ton.

All i can say after what happened yesterday is really America.......Really?????? 

we have a major issue on our hands

November election please hurry. 

These are a few of my favorite things... for right now

Since my life has been oh so interesting lately.

 i have been spending a lot of time with my Nook and Netflix, so those are pretty much on my list of favorite things as of right now, besides the banana cream pie milkshake from Chick-fil-a, but that is a whole different topic. 

I have been addicted to the Fifty Shades of Grey series, I finally finished the third and final book the other day. 

They are definitely worth your time.

 If you have not bought them then you should pronto and go ahead and buy all 3 because i promise you will not be able to stop at just the first book. i am waiting for the fourth book and i wish it would hurry before baby J since i have plenty of down time at the moment.  

just be prepared they are straight up mommy porn, but the story is pretty amazing. 

My other favorite reads at the moment are the Jenny McCarthy pregnancy and baby books. 

they are a must read for anyone prego or planning on getting prego.

she gives the the best advice as far as what to really expect with out sugar coating it and leading you to believe that pregnancy is just some walk in the park. 

not to mention she is hilarious. 

i read them when i first got pregnant so i am currently re reading them because they were just that good. 

my final favorite is a Netflix find. 

the Workaholics series.

 the boy and i started watching them the other night and we pretty much watch like a billion episodes a night and die laughing the entire time. 

like laughing so hard you almost pee your pants. 

it's a smart ass type of humor, which is my favorite so if you like that stuff you should definitely watch.  

So if you are not prego you should read Fifty Shades, if you are read the the Jenny McCarthy books and Fifty Shades.

and everyone should watch Workaholics, i promise you will fall in love.

Little Monthly Gift.

No not that monthly gift... that one has not been around our house in awhile. 

this monthly gift. 

My Birchbox is the little monthly gift I am referring to. 

if you have not signed up for one you need to seriously do it it is my favorite 10 dollars that I spend during the month. ... well maybe not always but pretty close.

You can get your own here. 

 Birchbox is a little box that comes once a month filled with high end beauty samples.

you can go to their website fill out your info and give them your money also fill out a profile about what products you are most interested in and they send you a random assortment of these samples once a month. super easy. 

I literally have a basket full of all kinds of goodies in my bathroom.

This month came with these super adorable band-aids, they were by far my favorite item in this months box.

they also sent me stretch mark cream... how random its like they knew i was prego or something btw the cream is amazing. 

pretty much everything that comes in this little brown box is amazing.

they also have ones for men now, not sure how well that would fly with the boy, but i am still trying to convince him.

so go and get you one, you wont regret it. PROMISE

One big hot waddling emotional mess.

This has literally been my summer since class let out a month ago.

Lying on the couch, floor or bed or any other surface that is remotely comfortable at the time.

i am convinced that there are things that no one tells you about pregnancy because if that were the case i have a feeling we would never reproduce. besides those few weirdos who insist that they just loooove being pregnant. clearly there is something wrong with them. dont get me wrong i love my little nugget and i am excited for him to get here and all his MMA skills he practices in there will eventually be put to good use one day. 

 but all this mess of hot flashes, peeing every 30 minutes, starving constantly, boob leakages, no sleeping , waddling, crying over everything, having the boy think im nuts, clothes not fitting just isnt for me.

i would have to say the boy has been quite a trooper these last 8 and a half months and brushed off all my mean comments and irrational behavior and for that i am thankful otherwise our house would have been WWIII.

i would love baby j to be a fully cooked little nugget and as healthy as a race horse but these next 6 weeks need to fly by and hopefully his grand entrance will come sooner rather than later.  

not to mention i am dying for a margarita.

A few tidbits

now that the whole awkward first post is over i figured i would make a list of just a few aspects of my life, here it goes.

i really hate writing the grammatically correct way and considering this is my blog (and not a college paper) i plan on writing it in any way i see fit. Plus lower case i’s are much cuter than uppercase ones.

i love the boy, he is my favorite. we have done things a little backwards but that is ok since he has been around almost a decade.

My pom dolce is my baby (as of right now) and I probably rant and rave on him entirely too much, but that is ok because he loves it. we also have a sloppy english bulldog who has been banished to the outside because of his disgusting habits.

i lost a huge chunk of my life, known as my brother on December 29, 2010 and that has forever changed my outlook on everything.

i'm such a book nerd it is not even funny.

traveling is my passion, i would never be at home if i didnt have to be. the dominican republic is by far my most favorite place. i love the people, culture and the food. minus the creepy security guard at the resort who blew me kisses on the daily.

i enjoy running and have missed it for the past 7 almost 8 months.

shopping is one thing i can say i have been 100% successful at.

i am obsessed with the mafia and mob and love reading/watching/learning about it.

i have some of the best parents in the world and a bestie that has been around too long to count.

motocross is a big deal in this household. the boy has since given it up, but im sure baby J will be on one before he can walk.  this past year i finally was able to meet my favorite rider James Stewart.

no one can prepare you for what life throws at you, you just have to take it and run with it.

The Beginning

 
I have always wanted to start a blog and since the boy and I are about to start a whole new adventure in less than 2 months I figured now would be the perfect time to start one. Within the past year the boy and I have bought our first home, are having a baby, planning a wedding and I will be graduating college with my BA in Criminology. At the moment we have two crazy pooches and one psycho cat residing with us and in July we will add a baby boy to the mix.
I enjoy shopping, crafting with the bff and traveling.Since those are a few of my favorite things I plan on blogging about that and everything else that falls in between. Facebook is slowly becoming a pet peeve of mine so I am trying out something new and improved and hoping it works out for me.
Blogging is sort of a timeline a way to look back and see how much things have changed or improved and I hope my blog will successfully serve it's purpose
