Sunday Social

1. What is your biggest driving pet peeve? 
When people get in front of you and SLOW DOWN. Are you kidding me? What is the point of that? Or even worse, they cut you off, slam on their brakes and turn. At that point I am hoping they are looking in their rear view mirror to see me telling them that they are number one.

2. What is your biggest blogging pet peeve? 
Too many ads on a page. I get it, you want to make money off your blog. But, when I have to navigate through your page carefully so I don't press on an ad, I'll just click off your blog entirely.

3. What is your biggest shopping pet peeve?
People who go snail speed and you have no room to go around them. Really grinds my gears.

4. What is your biggest general pet peeve? 
I have two that I can't decide between. When people tell me how to do my job, especially complete strangers. Yeah, I have my job because I know how to do it, thanks though. And second, people who don't say thank you, please, etc. Especially when I sneeze. You better bless me or you will get dagger eyes. Ask my husband.

5. What is your most irrational fear?
Opening the front door. Seriously. I don't open it for anyone. If I'm home alone you can guarantee if I hear a knock on the door I will mute my tv and not move in fear of somebody looking through the window to see shadow movement. It's bad to the point where when I was younger I would literally drop to the floor when I heard somebody at the door and crawl to the nearest hiding spot. Helllllo, it could be an ax murderer and I've seen far too many horror movies to know what happens. So if you're coming over, let me know so I don't peg you as a killer.

I'm sorry for the lack of posts lately. For some reason this week was just not inspiring at all. But, I've missed bloggerville and will be returning. Hope everybody's Sunday is just as fabulous as you are!

I absolutely love holidays. Anytime I get together with my family is a happy day. I love seeing my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, everybody. We get together, eat, have a wonderful time. This year was no different. My grandma's apple tree was in full bloom and I'm absolutely in love with how it looks. I definitely may or may not have cut off branches and now have them in a vase on my kitchen table. (I do) I love fresh flowers! Me love spring.

Five On Friday

I debated whether or not to write my Five on Friday post, and decided that I would regret it if I didn't. Technically it's Saturday, but shh. It's not the next day until you fall asleep and wake up.

(one) Easter is probably one of my favorite holidays. I love holidays in general, but any holiday that my whole family gets together at my grandparents are always my favorites. My grandma makes the best strawberry cake that I wait for the entire year. It's probably the most amazing thing ever. For reals. I'm excited for Sunday. This picture was on Easter a couple years ago, it's of me, my cute grandpa in bunny ears, and my sister.

(two) I got my nails done even though I swore I was going to give them a break. Especially since my nail lady is across town, and the drive was just getting to be too much with the cost of getting them done. So in order to save money I was going to give up my addiction. Then I caved and went to a girl I went to high school with. She's cheaper and like five minutes away from my house, so I'm okay with it. Really, really okay with it. How cute are these for Spring? Amiright?

 

(three) I am so excited for my first little garden. My work is a garden center/lawn and animal supply/feed store so I get crazy discounts on things. Which if I didn't start my own garden, that would just be plain stupid of me. It's my first year so I'm not expecting anything too crazy, but I know quite a bit about gardening now that I have had loads of training classes on it. Maybe a gardening tips post is in the near future? Featured in the garden this year is Sungold Tomatoes, Celebrity Tomatoes, Garden Salsa Peppers, Candy Onions, Buttercrunch Lettuce, and I also have strawberries in a blue pot that aren't pictured.

(four) I have been having this horrible pain in my foot for the passed three days now. Every time I walk and take a step a pain just shoots through my foot, and it throbs in pain randomly too. It's really annoying, and I hobble everywhere. It's sad. I am not okay with it, really. It's like consistently stepping on a Lego. We've all been there. It hurts. Has this happened to anyone? My mom's forcing me to go to the doctor.

(five) I can't wait for two days off. I will have worked for a week and a half straight since my new position called for new days off. But, I'm actually kind of happy about having Sunday and Monday off. I actually feel like a somewhat normal human being. Speaking of new job, I got in some 5 week old Holland Lops. They are the cutest little things ever. I don't have a picture of them, but here's one that is close. Yep. I get to hold those things all day.

What are five things from this week that are on your mind?

Sunday Social

Ahh, yes. Sundays. One of my favorite days of the week. It's a short work day, andddd I work with what we call the "A-Team" at work because we are so awesome. I'm sure going to miss them since next Sunday I'll be at a completely new store without my "A-Team". (tear)

Today I'm again, linking up for the Sunday Social. 

1. What was your best birthday?

Is it sad I can't really remember any birthdays or none really come to mind? Not in a "I was too drunk to remember" kind of way, but a "I'm really lame and don't care to celebrate my birthday much." kind of way. Which is completely different from my husband who thinks that his birthday should be a national freakin holidayweek. So I'll just say my surprise 18th birthday. Yippee, I hate surprises. (I sound so grumpy)

2. What was your best vacation?

Definitely Tennessee, hands down. Greatest. I loved every minute of that mini-vacay. All of the old buildings and history. Plus we went to Dollywood which has like, thee best roller coasters. I even contemplated packing my bags and moving there after graduating by myself. I loved it there, and still want to go back. That's my favorite picture I got from there. An old saloon in old downtown Knoxville.

This was a picture from last year's McCall trip. We're the coolest of cats.

3. What is the best date you've ever been on?

I'm not sure if you consider this a date, but going to McCall with my husband (then almost boyfriend). McCall is seriously my favorite place to go and that's where we started dating. We go every year for a family vacation. We went jet-skiing, camping, and fishing. It was seriously the greatest weekend. 

4. What is the best movie(quality) you've seen?

Ooh, this is a toughy. I'm going to say Harry Potter. Because I'm a potterhead for life.

5. What is the best TV show ending of all time?

None. Shows should go on forever. At least the good ones. It's taken me almost four months to get the courage to actually finish Dexter because I've heard that the ending is just horrible. 

And that's all folks. Have a happy Sunday!

Five On Friday!

It's that time again, Friday. But, sadly for me, Monday. That's boo-worthy right there. Consider yourself lucky if you have a Mon-Fri 9-5 job. I'll gladly switch you shifts any day. And I'll give you a free bunny to go with it. Tempting, I know.

(one) Next February, yes, it's like a year away, we are going to go to Las Vegas with Tom's best friend and his wife. It's going to be a couple's trip, and I'm real excited! I'll be 21 by then (I'm still a baby), and I've never been to Las Vegas. I've never even been to Nevada and my dad even works there, and it's right below Idaho. Pathetic. I promise you, I'm not sheltered.

(two) Yesterday I cleaned my little heart away, and the house is twinkling. I love days off where I can clean. It makes my heart happy to have a clean house. I get real grumpy when it's not. Although, I do wish I would have gone out and got the grocery shopping done with Tom and other things we need to do. Tomorrow will have to do.

(three) I have the cutest little window gazing lover mutts on planet earth. How are they not on the cover of Modern Dog Magazine? I don't know, but sign my boys up. They wanna be famous.

(four) After doing hours work of homework last night I found a crazy article about how men may be the cause of menopause in women. Basically, it goes against natural selection because it's stopping reproduction instead of the opposite. Men prefer to reproduce with younger women, simple as that. And, if women were to start seeking younger guys to reproduce with the adverse affect would happen and men would become infertile in old age. Read for yourself here! Just thought I'd share my geeky biology news with you. You're welcome.

(five) Sorry for the terrible quality ahead of time, my house has the lighting issues of a highway gas station bathroom. This is my new little area of the house that is all mine. My corner of what I call 'the lady cave', not really though cause I just now made it up. Anyway, this is my blogging/homework area. I like it, but it needs a little somethin-sometin on the wall, I think. Take note of my planner obsession. I. Need. Help.


Happy Friday!

Sunday Social

I love link ups, so I'm linking up yet again with Neely and Ashley this time with Sunday Social!

What is your ideal way to relax? Laying on the couch watching television, reading a book, going fishing, or taking a nice drive.

Where is your favorite place to be? Well, realistically my house. I also love being in the mountains though.

Who do you consider your biggest role model? By far, hands down, my mom. She got diagnosed with cancer January 31st of this year and I am so proud of how fast she accepted it, and is fighting it with a smile on her face most of the time. She is so brave and strong. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her.

What does your life look like in 3 years? Hopefully by then I have my career choice on track (I'm still trying to figure that one out), maybe a baby or one on the way, and definitely both my husband and I have a good, solid work place.

If you could go back and change one decision what would it be? Not a thing. I am one of those cliche people that think everything happens for a reason. Whether or not we see the purpose, or our purpose now, it will come with time. You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

What is your biggest accomplishment in life thus far? I think having a job that I'm good at, like, and actually have the opportunity to move up in the company is the best I can come up with right now.
