The Last Thing Thursdays

I've been slacking on linking up for The Last Thing Thursdays! I started blogging almost 3 years ago. My first few posts were really easy, I blogged about my wedding and honeymoon. After that, I had writers block and felt like I had nothing to say or nothing exciting to talk about. I blogged off and on until March of this year, that's when I found Jenna and The Last Thing Thursdays. Having a weekly link-up helped me keep on track with blogging and it actually made it easier to blog regularly. Thanks Jenna!

The Last Thing I...

Said that made my husband laugh: I've been having a terrible time with allergies this week, so I decided to take some Benadryl yesterday. That stuff makes me LOOPY!!! And sleepy, I pretty much slept all day yesterday. Last night, we were watching SYTYCD and there was a girl on there who said she felt like a powerful force had taken over her body and made her dance. So, Jeremy asks me if I want a powerful force to take over my body and I said, "A powerful force has taken over my body and it's called Benadryl!!!" He cracked up! I love making him laugh. 

Got excited about: Getting my hair done this weekend! I'm going in for a trim and a little more ombre highlights. My stylist said she learned a new technique with fun colors like purple and asked if she could try it on me. So I think I'm gonna go all Katy Perry and have some fun colored streaks for summer. 

Created on Polyvore that I really want: I created a favorite summer outfit for something that Natalie at He, Me & Them is doing. I want this outfit in my closet right now!

Made for dessert: Fresh strawberries and pie crust. Growing up, this was my grandma's version of strawberry shortcake. I've had many versions of strawberry shortcake and this is my favorite. I decided to try to make it myself and not to toot my own horn, but I did a pretty good job! I had it for dessert one night and then for breakfast the next day. I think I might have to hit up the fresh strawberry stand today and make some more. 

Bought and can't wait to get: These lovely earrings from Morgan's etsy shop Adie's Lovelies. 

Head on over to The Life of the Wife and link-up!

 

 

Happy Thursday!!! 

Last Thing Thursdays

It's Thursday!!! Which means it's almost the weekend and it also means it's time to link up with Jenna at The Life of the Wife for Last Thing Thursdays.

The Last Thing I...

Ate: Cheese pizza from Z Pizza for dinner last night. If you have a Z Pizza in your area and haven't been yet, I highly recommend it. As Sheldon Cooper would say, it has the perfect cheese to sauce to crust ratio. 

Listened to:  Joshua Radin I'd Rather Be With You

Bought: An adorable lace skirt from Ooh La Loft. Now I just need to find the perfect top to wear with it. 

Got Upset About: A really rude customer on live chat. 

3:11:21 PM [Lindsay] Unfortunately, there are no size 18 in stock in any color. The next ship date from the manufacturer is approximately July 31.
3:21:25 PM [sabrina] well F u i really liked that dress !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only they didn't really just say "F", I edited out the real four letter word they used! Seriously, how rude is that?! Like it's MY fault the dress isn't in stock! 

Really Laughed At: Erica being so excited that there were free cookies in our hotel lobby. "IS THAT A COOKIE?!?" I'm pretty sure the front desk clerk thought she was crazy!!! 

Picture I Took of Myself: The picture below swinging on the beach. 

Got Excited About: The fact that I now have 50 followers. I was seriously so excited when I logged in this morning and saw the number 50! I love this little blog world and all the wonderful people I've met! 

Now head on over and link up! 

Last Thing Thursdays

It's Thursday and that means it's time to link up with Jenna at The Life of the Wife for Last Thing Thursdays.

The Last Thing I...

Drank: Coffee! It's pretty much my morning ritual. Since I hate taking the time to make a whole pot of coffee for myself and since we have this amazing water cooler that dispenses hot water, I have been using the instant coffee packets. I started out using Starbucks Via, which is great but expensive. So, I switched to Nescafe, which is delicious and at least half the price. 

Got excited for: Finding out Randy & Christina (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) are coming to visit next month! They live in AZ and we usually only see them 3-4 times a year. When the four of us get together, you better watch out! It scares me a little to think of how much fun we would have if we lived closer than 12 hours away from each other. I've told y'all before that I have the best sister-in-law in the world. I seriously love that girl and couldn't ask for a better sister. Randy isn't so bad either. :) Just kidding, I obviously love him too!

I text this to Christina last night

Silly Picture I took: Our friends Ashley and Daniel came over Saturday night for a fun night of cupcakes, adult beverages, Mexican Train and Rock Band. Yes, we are 30 and 35 and still play rock band. We are that cool.

  We're a little awkward

Pinned: This wonderful saying. Sometimes we just need to remember to enjoy every single moment.

Absolutely Loved: Phillip Phillip's version of You Got it Bad on American Idol last night. Holy hotness right there!!! I could listen to it over and over! 

Now head on over to The Life of the Wife and link-up.

The Last Thing Thursdays

I'm linking up with Jenna at The Life of the Wife again for her last thing Thursdays. I've missed the last two Thursdays, but I'm back on track now! I really love this link-up! I've found new blogs that I love and made new friends thanks to Jenna (who is amazing by the way)!

The Last Thing I...

Ate: A bowl of Special K. I rarely eat breakfast, but was starving this morning. I am out of almond milk and it's the one thing Jeremy forgot to get at the store last night, so I had to use regular milk. Blech! Almond milk is soooo much better and lower in calories. 

Drank: Water!!! I had a little bit too much wine last night, so I am in need of hydration! 

Laughed At: This video I saw on Ashley's blog yesterday. Taylor Swift cracks me up!!!

Cried At: The last thing I remember crying about was Rue dying in the Hunger Games movie. I was disappointed that they downplayed Katniss and Rue's friendship in the movie, but I still cried when she died. 

Bought & Loved: Barielle Gel Top Coat. I hate painting my nails because the polish chips off after one day and I can't stand having chipped polish. This stuff is amazing! My nail polish didn't chip for 3 days and then when it did start chipping, it just peeled right off without nail polish remover! 

Read: The lovely B at B in the Bay "lent" me A Charmed Place. It was a great book filled with love, hatred, mystery and murder. Next on the reading list is 50 Shades of Grey. If any of you have read it, let me know what you think. 

Blog I started following: Lauren Rebecca. I came across her blog while browsing blogs this morning and was drawn in by her post today. If you aren't already following her, you should go check out her blog. 

Enough about me for today, head on over to The Life of the Wife and link-up! Come on, you know you want to! 

The Last Thing Thursdays #3

I'm linking up again with Jenna at The Life of the Wife. Thanks again Jenna for making me blog at least once a week for three consecutive weeks!

The Last Thing I....

Took a Picture of:

My cute little fur baby, Peanut. Doesn't he look so sweet?

 

Bought:

The perfect pair of mint skinny jeans! And the best thing about them, they were $18 at Ross!!! 

Food I pinned on Pinterest: 

Raw cookie dough bites. They sound pretty delicious and are healthy! I might be making these to put in the cooler for the 9 hour drive to Vegas next week.

Cried At:

Not gonna lie, the last thing I cried at was One Tree Hill last night. I started watching OTH about 5 years ago after a friend told me I looked like Sophia Bush. I watched one episode just to see who she was and was hooked. I made Jeremy buy me Seasons 1-4 (the ones I hadn't seen) so I could catch up. I am so sad this is the last season. 

Drooled Over:

Anything lace! I am in LOVE with anything lace. Shirts, shorts, dresses... you name it, I love it! 

Felt Like a Nerd For:

Being so ridiculously excited every time a preview for The Hunger Games comes on. I wish I was going to the midnight premiere, but I think I am going to have to wait until Saturday afternoon. I really hope the movie is as good as the book! 

Crafted:
A picture frame for my friend, Lacey. I love making these frames and have thought about trying to sell them, but then I think that would take the fun out of making them as gifts for friends.

The Last Thing Thursdays #2

For the second week in a row I am linking up with Jenna @ The Life of the Wife. Two weeks in a row... That means I have blogged at least twice in this last week. Go me!

The Last Thing I....

Sang: 

Probably some silly song I made up about my dogs and cats. But the last actual song I remember singing is Salt N' Pepa's "Let's Talk About Sex". No lie! I have no idea where it even came from since I probably haven't heard that song in a good 10 years. I was cleaning out my coffee cup and realized I was white girl rapping, "But she was mad and sad and feeling bad... thinking about the things that she never had... no love, just sex followed next with a check and a note that last night was dope, dope, dope..." So then I proceeded to white girl rap and dance all over my kitchen. It was a great start to my morning. 

Ate:

 I've been sickly most of this week, so I haven't been eating much. I did just chug down some TheraFlu though. 

Pinned: 

 I have been slacking on Pinterest this week. I never thought I would be sick enough to not want to Pin. Something is really wrong with me! 

Watched on TV:

 Will & Grace re-runs. No matter how many times I've seen the episode, I still watch and laugh. How can you not love Will, Grace, Karen and Jack? 

Bought & Loved: 

My birthday dress from Ooh La Loft. I can't wait to wear it in Vegas!!! 

Wished I Had the Money to Buy: 
The Georgina Bed set from Anthropologie. Actually, any bed set from Anthropologie would do!

Laughed At: 
My friend Trish and I's gchat conversation. There's nothing better than an inside joke with a friend. :) 

Now that I've done my at least once a week blogging, I think I will take my sick self back to bed. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday! 

Link up with Jenna and all of the other lovely bloggers who link up here: 

 

 

The Last Thing Thursdays

Since I am so terrible at blogging, I decided maybe doing a weekly link up might make me blog a little more regularly. Well, at least once a week. :) Thanks to Jenna at The Life of the Wife for helping me blog at least once a week.

The Last Thing I.....

Read:
I purchased The Hungers Games on my Ipad about 4 months ago and FINALLY started it last night.   

Pinned:
Mexican Chicken Casserole. It looks super yummy and is pretty healthy! That's a win, win in my book! I am seriously loving all the recipes on Pinterest.

Blog Post I Read:

Sydney's (The Daybook) Awkward and Awesome Thursday! Her blog is one of the first blogs I started reading religiously. If you haven't read her blog, be sure to check it out! 

 TV Show I Watched: 

American Idol! I admit that I am highly addicted to reality tv competitions. The Bachelor, The Voice, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance... It's a sad addiction, but my husband and I are very entertained by them. 

Candy I Ate:

I'm not actually sure what the last candy I ate was. I've been exercising and dieting and haven't been having much candy lately. Gotta look good for the big 3-0 this month! Since I can't remember the last candy I ate, I will just go with my favorite: gummy bears!!! 

Did For Someone Else: 
I sent my mom a Valentine's box full of goodies. My mom doesn't really have the money to buy cookies and candy, so my mother-in-law and I baked some cookies and filled a box with cookies and candy. 

Baked:
Peanut butter cookies with reese's cups in the middle. They were sooooo good! I used my grandma's peanut butter cookie recipe and added the reese's cup. 

Bought & Loved: 
TOMS ballet flats!!! They were a belated Valentine's present. I have been looking all over for them, but every store was sold out in my size and they are back ordered online. I was out shopping with my mother-in-law this weekend and one store actually had them in my size. I was so excited!!! 

 Have a great Thursday! It's almost the weekend, YAY!!!
