Day of Silence

Catching up!

So it has been a little quiet around here, incase you haven't noticed. I decided I would put the blog on hold until my finals were over. And as of yesterday at 11:20 I was done with the semester! Now I just have to wait on grades to be posted, which professors always take their precious time doing. Thanks guys.

Anyway, last week wasn't too eventful so you didn't miss much. We had my Christmas party for work, Ben's Christmas party, my finals, and today is mine and Ben's birthday! 

Nothing too exciting for the birthdays, we decorated our gingerbread house, Brody was not interested in anything other than eating the candy so technically I decorated it, and went to see Santa. Which by the way, when it was his turn homeboy literally ran up to Santa and jumped in his lap.  

We also finished up our Christmas shopping other than a couple of gift cards that we have left to get. The stores were CRAZY today while we were out, so I really want to get all of it done like as soon as possible. 

And now we are waiting on wings from Buffalo's Reef, a local favorite! If you are ever in the Fort Walton Beach area and want some good wings, stop by there! 

Anyway, this week should be really really good. I'm working three more days this year, yes this year people 2013, is right around the corner! And I have lots of goodies to make for friends and family, so expect some yummy recipes soon! I know I have been slacking in that department but its super hard to make yummy foods when you are trying to lose a few pounds and you know all you really need is some lettuce. Which speaking of that, hubs Ben said he can see a difference, which means all of my running/walking/extreme shedding and shredding is paying off! Woohoo! 

So that's all I have for now, I hope everyone has had a great weekend! 

Have all of you finished your Christmas shopping yet?

Just a few thoughts...

I hadn't planned on writing about this topic. I actually don't want this to turn into one of those blogs where people put every single opinion of theirs on every single controversial topic out there, just because they can. I have actually had a post sitting there with "Draft" next to it for months now because I don't want to offend people or spark a debate and make people hate me. 

Anyway, I'm sure you know what has happened in CT by now, unless you are living under some kind of rock. 

As I was going through my newsfeed on Facebook last night I couldn't help but be disgusted. Every other post was something about "well looks like we are going to have a new gun law, better stock up now!" Are you people seriously more worried about gun control right now? 

20 innocent kids were killed. 

Little boys and girls who were probably very much looking forward to getting that new bike or easy bake oven for Christmas. Kids who were probably planning sleepovers with their friends for that very night. 

And you are worried about your gun rights being taken away.

If someone wants to kill someone, with a gun, they will obviously find a way to get it. Stricter laws are not going to fix anything, period. How many people do illegal drugs every day? The laws are not going to fix these kind of problems. 

Another thing, can we please stop exploiting these other kids? Is it necessary to interview 7 year olds who have just gone through the most traumatizing thing a kid could go through? These kids are probably not even old enough to fully understand what has just happened. 

All I ask is that you show some respect for the families who will never get to see the excitement on their child's face Christmas morning, or see them graduate high school, or even get married. And for the other kids who lost their friends and classmates, who now have to worry about their safety every day they go to school. And for all of the parents, I can't even imagine all of the questions that they will have to answer.

That is all for now.

Friday Funnies (finals week edition)

I don't have much for today. I have my two finals next weekend and I am trying to get my assignments finished up so that I can just work on studying next week before my tests. 

Then... I'm FREE! Well, of school that is, for a while! Yay!

I mean, do I really need to know how many oxygen atoms are in 7.98 moles of Sulfur Trioxide? 

Is this real life?

It's December!

So I had intended to do this post yesterday but we had my niece's birthday party then the Alabama game (SEC champs!) and cooking dinner kind of distracted me. Oops. Let's talk about how it is now December. WHAT?! Oh my goodness. There are so many exciting things going on it is kind of crazy. So let me tell you what all I am excited about for this wonderful month.

~Birthday! Mine and Ben's birthday is on the 16th! This year I will be 23, Ben will be 31. I am getting old.

~Being finished with this semester! I am already done with one class, I just have to take the final in a couple of weeks and I have quite a few quizzes left in the other class. I'm pretty sure I am going to take next semester off, since the classes I need are only offered at an inconvenient time. 

~All of those crazy Christmas lifetime movies. Lifetime movies are already addicting, so add some Christmas lights and a dysfunctional family and there goes your whole day.

~Shopping! It is just so much fun this time of year!

~Continuing my couch to 5k program! Week 4 HOLLA!

~Practically living in the kitchen. Which is fine because thats where us women belong, right? KIDDING. 

~Lots of family time!

~Yummy candies and cookies that will completely ruin my diet. 

And finally...

~SANTA!!! SANTA'S COMING!
