Neutrogena Wave Sonic

Earlier this month, I got to spend some serious time with my friends. My girl friends. And we talked about all sorts of beauty products. Lots of them are still curious about the Clarisonic. But it's tough to dish out a few hundred dollars, on just one product. No matter how amazing it is.

We got to talking. And they asked my honest opinion. Being that I've had one for a few years now. Honestly, it's a life changing product. But, there are now other products, on the market. Good products. And with the price difference, there are some that are really worth trying out. Like Neutrogena's Wave Sonic.



I've seen it at various stores, for under $15. And with some coupons that are floating around, you can get this little beauty, for about $5. I'm not lying! I picked up one for me, and one for a friend. And it works amazingly well! in my opinion, pretty comparable to the Clarisonic. And the refill pads are just under $5 for a package.

In many ways, the Wave Sonic, works just like the Clarisonic. You can use it in the shower. Or just to wash your face. Your skin looks, and feels, amazing after you use it. And after about 2 weeks, the results are amazing! Softer, cleaner, fresh feeling skin.

After trying both products, I'd recommend the Wave Sonic, for anyone whose been on the fence about the Clarisonic. It's worth all those pennies! Without breaking the bank, for the Clarisonic. In my opinion, everyone should have the opportunity to take care of themselves. Regardless of their budget. And the Wave Sonic, is definitely budget friendly!

Deflated...

That's just how I'm feeling today. I was supposed to meet my friend yesterday. For lunch. It's been about a year and a half, since we've last seen each other. And I don't know what happened. This week just hasn't been going well for me. What's new? Right?

My cell phone literally fried. I don't know what happened. But that was on Sunday. During the Graduation party. And my computer, well it wasn't working. I'm just not having luck with my electronics. So I wasn't too diligent about checking my e-mail. I just figured that we'd meet. I didn't question it. Because in the past, we haven't had a good track record. I was just hoping for the best.

So yesterday, I made it my home. I got ready. Got all of her presents. All of which I had re-wrapped. And was quite happy. I decided to head to the mall, near the restaurant where we were meeting, a little early. I got there with plenty of time to spare. Did a little shopping, and then headed to the restaurant.

There are 2 things that I didn't figure into the mix. I wasn't in my car. I was in a rental. Because I was having some car issues. And she had gotten a new car. A car that I'd never seen before. I sat there and waited. I got a table by that window, you know, so I'd see her when she got there. Nothing. I waited. 90 minutes! I was reading a book, and enjoying an appetizer and a yummy tea. But still, it felt like forever. Then I went to the front, and asked to use a phone. I don't have her number memorized. That is my fault. Thanks to my cell phone.

But I called a neighboring restaurant, and had her paged. Maybe I was at the wrong place. No answer. I looked around the restaurant that I was at. No sign of her. So I broke down, and called another friend of mine. He lives down the road. And was more than happy to join me for dinner. With my Goddaughter!

So it wasn't all bad. But I was still so disappointed. I had counted on this. For a while now, I've tried desperately to get in touch with my friend. To set up a day to meet for lunch. Or dinner. Or just to drop off all of these gifts. With no luck. And rarely, if ever, does she call me. I'm starting to wonder about our friendship...

I called D. A little sad, frustrated, but most of all drained. This month has been exhausting! And all I could think about was seeing him again. How much I've missed him. And just being near him. Is that nuts? I'm not sure. But I do know, he is the only one that makes me feel good after a month like this. I don't know, maybe I'll try calling my friend later this week. Or maybe I'll wait to see if she calls. I just don't know.

Graduation Party...

Yesterday was my niece's graduation party. You know the one. I've been halfway embracing it, halfway having anxiety because of it. My parents offered their home, and before we knew it, they were throwing the party. Ya, I know. To really add insult to injury, my niece didn't invite anyone. OK, my niece invited a friend from school, and that was it.

So I showed up to my parents' house a little early. To get ready for the party. I spent a solid 4 days running around town. Buying everything that we needed. Costco, the Meat Market, I don't know how many Grocery Stores, the Dollar Tree, and Party City. I was exhausted even before the party.

The day before, we had been invited to a birthday party. And literally, my parents and I, went to eat. OK, so we dropped off a few presents too. But it was quick. And we were on our way. We had already spent most of the day shopping, cleaning, and getting things ready. But we weren't done. Oh no!

Costco told us to pick the cake after 6PM. But Costco closes at 5PM on Saturdays. We didn't know that. And the man at the door was incredibly rude. But we got things taken care of. I just told him, if we didn't get the cake that night, they could keep it. I was too tired to deal with him. And Costco isn't exactly close to my parents' house...

Someone went to get the cake for us. And we paid up front. The cashier was really nice to us. And as it turns out, the hours had recently been changed. But no one could figure out why that bakery would have us pick up the cake after hours. I don't know.

We went home. My Mom was trying to get some last minute things done in the yard. By this time, it was already getting dark. I was trying to tackle things inside. ie Cooking. My Dad was trying to fight off sleep. We were a real mess!

My parents called it a night sometime after 10PM. I stayed up cooking. And chopping. And making platters. Believe it or not, but I had planned on going back to my hotel room. Sometime during the night. It never happened. My brother got home sometime after 2AM, never offered to help. I was knee deep in chicken. And pasta salad. I wanted to cry.

Hysterical as it was, I had a little bit of a system in place. After all the fruit and veggies were cut, the platters were put together, and I had boiled the pasta and potatoes, I tackled the chicken. We had pounds and pounds of it. So I seasoned all of it. And baked 4 pans at a time, for 90 minutes, while I took a nap. Or wrapped silverware. Then I'd switch them out. No lie. This went on for a while. I had 16 pans to cook!

By 7AM, I decided that I wasn't going to be baking any cupcakes. And I hoped that I'd get the decorations up on time. Oh, and I never got to Party City, to pick up my balloon order. It was just that kind of a day. I sent my parents to go eat breakfast. I knew my Dad needed to eat. And by noon a friend, and another one of my brothers came to help out. It was a good thing too. I barely managed to take a shower and get halfway presentable. Tables were being set up, we were still trying to figure out how to put together this hamburger grill thing, and my Mom was trying to buy ice.

By 2PM, we hadn't heard from my niece, or her mom. And we were starting to panic. My brother's little girl, she was also having a meltdown. A serious one. The poor little thing was tired, but didn't want to take a nap. And my brother, was trying to not go nuts! When my Dad called my niece, well she didn't sound like she was coming. It was so weird.

She had called earlier in the day. Wanting to know what kind of food we were having. How big was the cake? Where was it from? Did we have decorations? How many people were coming? The questions went on and on. Um, we were trying to get things together. We didn't have time to talk. Then, she just didn't sound like she was going to come. Until Grandpa talked to her.

In so many words, my Dad told her to get to the house. Right now. People were already there! And she was nowhere to be seen. I was ready to kill! Our friend K, and I got stuck at the grills. Which honestly was no shock. We had been working on this party for hours. Poor K, had literally been there since 9AM! I ended up not eating. I think I had half a bowl of fruit. All day long! But everyone seemed to be having a nice time. The temperatures fell, and it was cloudy. Which was a HUGE relief! Earlier in the day, it had been so hot!

The kids enjoyed it the most. My parents have an incredible back yard. Full playground! Surrounded by grass, trees, and so many flowers. They played in the sprinklers. Had a blast with the toys I had bought. Dollar Tree is amazing! And they definitely enjoyed their ice cream treats. :)

Late in party, we brought out the cake. My niece remarked how it was small. Why didn't we get a bigger one. I almost slapped her. No lie! I was so frustrated with her. But I didn't say anything. We bought a full sheet cake. How big did she want it? Then we started the game, what piece do you want? She wanted her name. Which was a big piece. But I said OK. I skillfully cut it out, and handed it to her. Um, it was overflowing on a full sized plate.

I went on to cut cake for everyone else. We handed it out. With ice cream. We also had banana pudding, another pink dessert from my cousin, and fresh fruit. She about had a heart attack when I gave a rose to someone. What? Are we going to save the whole cake? And then when I decided to have a piece, there was only a small corner left. I took about a 1/4 of it. It was like a baby sized piece. And the diploma, came along with it. To my happy surprise, it was made of chocolate. Again, another fit. You would have thought she was 3, instead of 17.

With all that said, everyone had a good time. Lots of people were invited last minute. And they came. Did I mention? Most didn't even know my niece. But they came, and with a card and money, or a gift. And she acted like a spoiled brat. I'm not sure what was up with that. But I was highly annoyed by her.

We had plenty of food. And sent most people home with a few plates. Kids took home the funny toys I had bought. I'm sure my Mom was happy about that. What was she going to do with 10 kid sized plastic bats and balls. Or all those sand toys and buckets. Or even all the water toys. My niece was crying about that. And about the coloring books and crayons that they took. She sat in the house crying. Literally. What was going on with her?

She took all the decorations. Which I was glad. All the signs, table toppers, everything that was red, white, and blue. I had to stop her when she tried to take the baskets, bowls, and platters. Hello. Those were mine way before this party. And my Mom stopped her with the dish towels. I'm not sure where this was coming from.

It was weird. We never got a Thank You. Not once from her. Her mom thanked us multiple times. She's not even related to us! Her dad is the one that's related. But that is a long story. For another day! And her grandma, was so happy that we had done this. Lots of people seemed to enjoy this. But not my niece. It was odd.

After she took everything, and her cards, I was a little shocked. She just wanted the money. Never read the card, or looked at the note. Was rather made at the gifts she received. All she wanted was money. I'm positive that she has no clue who gave her what. Even though we all told her she has to write Thank You notes, I'm pretty sure she won't. And that's just sad.

I know that they pushed for this party to get money. Because my niece's mom, is taking her and her younger sister to Disneyland soon. And she wanted spending money. But honestly, they don't see much of our family. They didn't invite any friends. So I wasn't surprised when she only made $115. I know she was expecting a few thousand. Like I had gotten years before. But I know a lot more people. I invited a bunch of friends. And honestly, our family is not very wealthy. Most will give $10-15. I got most of my money from friends. My mentors, people who were closer than family. People who knew I would use the money for college. And had been a HUGE part of my life!

And after the way my niece acted, well, she should be happy to have gotten that much. I'm not lying. I hate to feel this way. But she acted like a spoiled brat. Literally! All she was concerned with all day long, was taking food to her Nana, and making money. Um, like 5 people took food to her Nana. I honestly didn't care. But she should have maybe, been more attentive to her Grandpa. The person who paid for most of this. But whatever.

Worst of all, we found out that she didn't receive an actual diploma! It was a Certificate of Completion. She lied to everyone. Including her mom. But we got to the bottom of it. Because she was in Special Ed, she needs to go to the local university for a year. Then she will have completed everything. And will receive a diploma. But if they couldn't afford to throw a party, and are still scraping money together for the trip to Disneyland, I'm almost positive that they're not going to have the money for the university. We'll just have to wait and see...

I so wanted to be happy. What a HUGE milestone this is! A time to celebrate. But something has changed. My niece is completely different. Ungrateful. And it was so hard to get into this. After buying her dress, shoes, and paying for a big chunk of this party...I just couldn't bring myself to giving her a card with money. Not after the way she treated my parents.

If you've made it thus far, bless your soul! You are a dedicated reader! And I appreciate that. I'm just hoping that my niece changes. Does better for her future. It's only for her own good. I'm glad that I did everything that I did. I have no regrets, on my part. I just wish that she would appreciate what people do for her. But what can we do? Now she is an adult, and will have to pull her weight in the world.

XOXO

Thursday Thunks

Miss ♥D happens to be out of town. I have nothing else to do. But I did notice that Thursday Thunks was up today. Sounds good to me. D

1. If you could be a Muppet, which would you be? Animal

2. Why is a chicken crossing the road in the first place? Shit, I don't know. For a hot hen? Maybe some beer.

3. What's your favorite muscle? Gluteus Maximus

4. Cheerios or Rice Krispies? Cheerios

5. Is summer ever going to get here? What are you talking about. Hot as hell out here. Summer is definitely here.

And now my additions:

6. Have you ever had a utility turned off by mistake or some other reason besides weather or nonpayment? Nah

7. What was your "last day" of something? My last day to drink, was Tuesday. My last day with ♥D for a while was this week too. My last day at home was yesterday.

8. Casey Anthony - do you know who I'm talking about and, if you do, are you following the trial? That crazy woman that killed her daughter. Then she lied about it, made up stories, and is blaming everyone else. How can you not follow the trial. It's on every channel.

9. Back to Bud's high school questions last week - did you have any type of class trip, band trip, etc? Where did you go, what did you do? Some crazy camping stuff. Military type. Not too wild. But had some fun, causing chaos, with my buddies.

10. Do your feet smell? Nah. Ask me after work on Sunday, I might have a different answer.

Thursday Thunks

And they're back. Yes, Thursday Thunks are back. Which means I don't have to use my brain, to blog. Well, not much of it. So here goes. Thursdays are back to normal! D

1. Charlie Sheen is an idiot and will probably end up with his own stupid reality show that will get 40 million viewers the first day and then people will fall asleep and quit watching. What person, celebrity or not, would you watch every eppy of a reality show if they were the center of it all? Dang, that's tough. Probably athletes or musicians. No one in particular.

2. We all pay bills and wish we didn't have to. We all work and wish we could just lay around all day doing nothing. We all have those grown up responsibilities that we wish we could give to an African Elephant. Besides all the things the African Elephant got from you for the day, what is something from your high school years that you miss most of all? Just hanging out with my buddies. Being a "normal" guy. Not having to worry about everything I do, and everything I say. My career really has changed so much of my life.

3. Sometimes we want to grow wings and fly. Whats the farthest you've fallen? Off of a house. Not fun. Shit, now that I think of it, it hurt like hell! I've also jumped off of a cliff, into a lake. That wasn't so bad.

4. There is square bread, wheat bread, circle shaped bread, bread with nuts in it, funny named bread. When you open a bread bag, do you twist it when you are done or put the metal tie thingie back on? (And did you know that if you look at that metal tie thingie, it has a day of the week printed on it?) Do I admit it? I don't twist. I don't put the twist tie back on. I just sorta tuck the open end under the loaf. Miss ♥D usually has to close up the bread. I don't know why I'm lazy like that. Hell, I didn't know that the day of the week was on the twist tie. I'm going to go check that out when I'm done here.

5. Some spoiled little brat (hey.. my opinion) called 911 on her teacher because he shook his own desk to get the students attention in the class. (I know, right?) Think back... what clever ways did a teacher of yours use to get the attention of the class or a particular student? Dang, remember that I went to a Military School. Our teachers would slam the desk with a board. Hell, if they were pissed, they'd throw the whole damn desk!

6. Artwork, pictures, notes, appointments. How many magnets are on your refrigerator? Dang, we don't have a damn thing on the fridge! Miss ♥D prefers a clear and clean fridge.

7. Cats are fluffy, dogs are soft, snakes are leathery, fish are wet. What is an animal that you have held or petted that you don't think many people have had the chance? A buffalo.

8. I'm coming to your house to paint your kitchen. I'm bringing the paint. What color should I not have with me? Pink, purple, or those weird blue-green colors.

9. Snow falls down, sometimes sideways. It still ends up on the ground. If snowflakes came in all different colors, which color snowflake would fall the fastest? Black, I think the darkness would be heavier.

10. We caved...well at least I did. Are you glad Thursday Thunks is back? Heck ya. Damn, I hope you stay around. Because I can't come up with topics on Thursdays.

Stand By Your Man

I'm almost positive, when I say this, we're both happy to see D's "Professional Year," come to an end. Well, pretty much, come to an end. It's been a tough year. In so many ways! He's taken it personally. Like if all the failures, were directly his fault. I've told him over and over, it's a team effort. And when something breaks down, or fails, the entire team needs to take responsibility.

With that said, I'm very proud of D. And all that he's accomplished. Like I said, it was a tough year. But he's had some outstanding days. Days that he should be very proud of. Because not many people, ever get the opportunity, to accomplish those same things.

As the traveling slows, and the "other" work begins, I'm pretty sure, we're both happy. Yes, we both enjoy D's job. And the traveling. But by this time of year, we're just happy to go home, get in our pjs, and crawl into bed. Yes, it's been an amazing year! But we're looking forward to some downtime. Through it all, I'll be right here, next to D. Standing proud. D, I'm so PROUD of you, and I LOVE YOU!

XOXO

♥D

Sunday Stealing...My Life According to

To begin with, I am super, duper proud of D! He is kicking butt at work. His swagger is back. And I am very proud of this man and all of his hard work. If people only knew how hard he works. Right now, we are on our way to some tropical paradise. I still don't know where we are going. D is very good at keeping secrets. To pass a little time on the airplane, here is this week's addition of Sunday Stealing.

XOXO

♥D


-Are you a male or female? Female

-Describe yourself. If you see me, I am short. Just 5'0" tall. And normal is shape and size. I have long brown hair and brown eyes. My skin is also very light. As a person, I am pretty easy going in general. I like lists and organization. So much so, that our closets resemble stores. I am also a creative person. I thrive when I craft. In general, I am a loving, caring, and thoughtful person. I like to really treat every person and detail with as much love and respect as I can.

-How do you feel right now? Extremely excited!

-If you could go anywhere, where would you go? I would go to Italy. I want to see the beautiful place where my grandma is from.

-Your favorite form of transportation. Generally, I just fly and travel in cars. But I think there is some sort of romantic notion about trains floating around in my head. It might have something to do with my love of things past.

-Describe Your Morning Routine. Every morning is unique and different. Just depending on the day, where I am working, and what I have to get done. But usually it includes me hiding from the sun and the alarm. Then stumbling about in a very organized fashion, until I somehow make it out the door!

-Your best friend is. That is hard. I have a few. But my very best friend is D.

-What's the weather like? It rained off and on all night. Now, all I see is clouds.

-Pet Peeve? A disorganized closet. Or a dirty refrigerator. I know I am strange.

-If your life was a TV show, what would it be called. Organized Chaos. Need I say more? My life is in constant chaos...on a strict schedule!

-Your relationship. I'm assuming you mean my relationship status. Happily taken and very much in love!

-Your Fear. I fear failure. And being alone in life.

-What is the best advice you have to give? Everything in life is hard. You learn from your struggles, hardships, and failures. In the end, your hard work pays off.

-If you could change your name, you would change it to? Sophia. I have always liked that name. And it is much more ethnic than mine!

-What do you say when you are frustrated? Mother of God! I don't know why. But I do. Then I ask God to give me wisdom and patience to get through whatever I am frustrated at.

-Thought for the day. God is great. Life is good. And my family really is slightly crazy!

-How you would like to die? Peacefully while I sleep.

-Your soul's present condition. Very good actually. But God has a way of making that happen when you need it most. You just need to believe.

-Your motto. "If you are going through hell, keep going." ~Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Missing My Family

There are days when I really miss my family. Today is one of them. Not so much because I am missing my niece's 1st birthday party. But because I miss these family get-togethers. When I was younger and had to go to 2-3 family parties a week, I hated it. But I didn't appreciate them for what they were. Time with family.

I am not particularly close to my little niece. In reality, I have seen her twice in 1 year. And I am not particularly close to my brother. We are almost 30 years apart in age. And he just wasn't around a whole lot when I was growing up. When I was under 5, yeah. But I don't remember spending much time with him since I was 5.

But I miss just being home sometimes. Seeing my family. Enjoying laughs and good times. I miss the silliness of the kids. The amazing food. And all the familiar faces. We are not your normal or typical family by any means. We are not the closest and most loving. But we are family. And there are just certain days that I miss them.

XOXO

♥D

Lucky Man...I Am

This morning, I would have preferred pulling ♥D just that much closer and going back to sleep. Instead, she in her own magical way, got me to wake up. As I lay there dying, and trying to sleep just a few more minutes, ♥D was happily making me breakfast. I am a lucky man. She even managed to get me out the door on time. A task that is too much for 5 of my employees.

♥D loves me whole heartily for me. Not the name, fame, or money. But for the man I am at the end of the day. She takes amazing care of me. No matter what. She can have a god awful day, and when I walk in the door, she is there with a big smile. Waiting to kiss me.

In my life, I have never felt lucky. I have felt burdened and alone most of the time. Until I met ♥D. She adds to my life all the things that were missing. Things that I never knew I wanted in life. Until she filled those empty spaces. Today I was even surprised with homemade brownies and lemonade for a snack. No reason at all, just because ♥D is ♥D. I thank God every single day for sending her to me. D

Thursday Thunks

Is it already Thursday? Here is my Thursday Thunks. D

1. Your thoughts on hunting? What kind of thoughts do you want me to have? I like to hunt. Go every damn year with my buddies and family. Just a damn good time.

2. Swine Flu vaccine... will you get it? Who the hell knows. Just live life and don't be a damn freak about it. Besides, if I get it, ♥D will take care of me.

3. What is one job/profession that you think there are just too many of? You don't want me to answer this. I'm going to go with Tabloid Reporters or Wall Street Thieves.

4. I want to go on a diet, what advice will you offer me? Throw everything away at home. Only bring in the stuff you are supposed to eat. Throw away all the take-out menus, erase the numbers from your phone, and take a new route home/work/wherever you go.

5. You are going out on a date with someone for the very first time. When you get into their car, you see a box of condoms on the floor. What do you do? Why would I be in HER car? I'd think she is prepared for anything. I wonder if they teach that in the Girl Scouts. What do I do? What do I do with ♥D? Smile and lean in for a kiss.

6. Name something in your bathroom that shouldn't be there. A book. A radio. My OJ glass. I need to clean up after myself more.

7. What was your Kindergarten teacher like? Caring and excited about everything. Always wanting to teach us about the color of the sky, some letter, or a new way to play. Crazy damn kids we were!

8. What kind of oil do you use when you cook? Whatever is there. ♥D buys olive oil and grape seed oil. Sometimes we have vegetable oil. WTF is grape seed oil?

9. If someone takes an unflattering picture of you and posts it online, do you beg them to take it down or do you laugh at yourself with everyone else? I usually don't see it. I don't really care. But I will laugh if it is funny. I got a sense of humor people.

10. What brand of dish washing soap do you use? Again, ♥D does the shopping. I think we have Dawn. It is blue. And cleans. That's all I know.

Crazy Day!

This is one of those days that I just wonder about. I am in Baltimore, MD working. Wanting desperately to be at home. Oh, and I am eating a Lean Cuisine 4 Cheese Pizza for lunch. Because it is already lunchtime. Does that tell you that I have been at work forever already?

D is going to be in DC today. I am going to meet him. Hopefully on time...depending on the airport. You can never really estimate the things that happen at the airport. Fingers crossed, we will get it all done though. Then we will go back home this evening...all just to get ready to travel again tomorrow.

I am also very grateful that I work with amazing people. Miss A sent me a gift today. A crochet bag, hooks, and cotton yarn. She never has to do things for me. But she always does. So in the midst of my crazy day...when I started at 1AM, taking a total of 6 flights...I have a bit of whimsy to help me relax.

XOXO

♥D

Dirty Dancing

♥D generally makes me laugh. She just has her own way of doing things. And I should never be too surprised when it comes to her. ♥D just moves to the beat of her own drum. All the time!

Our cleaning lady has this week off. She is traveling to visit her family. I am not worried like I normally would be. ♥D does a good job of keeping everything together. She is a little OCD and I think that she actually does a better job than our cleaning lady. No, really she does.

Today when I got home, I just had to pull up a chair and watch what was going on. ♥D had the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing blasting in the background. She was singing and dancing around the house. All while cleaning. Did I mention....♥D was in one of my T-shirts, panties, and socks. Can you say I hit the jackpot? And she hadn't realized I had gotten home.

I found out later, it was also laundry day. Seems like ♥D ran out of clothes. But in reality, that is how ♥D cleans. She usually has a pair of shorts on . But she dances around the house. All I can really say is, Thank goodness the girls were with my mom. Because there is something irresistible about a woman dancing to Dirty Dancing in my t-shirt. I am a lucky man! D

6 Days

It is almost time for our vacation. And I honestly cannot wait! So much so, that I packed today. I never pack early. Ever! I am usually the one that is packing minutes before we leave for the airport. Trying desperately to get everything into my suitcase. And trying to remember what exactly I need while I am gone.

But today, I packed our bags. And we are all set to go. Bags, clothes, some stuff to keep us entertained, anything that we might need, and all that good stuff. I just need to relax and wait until Sunday morning. It seems like a million days away...instead of just 6 short days. Maybe I am overly excited because I don't know where we are going.

D is in need of this vacation. Probably more than myself. He just needs some time away from this pressure cooker we call life. Away from his work and all of this. I on the other hand, need this vacay to just keep my sanity. But we are both looking forward to it. After we get back, we will be all work and business until the middle of November. But we are not thinking about that right now. We are 6 days away from the sun and sand. That is all that is on our minds!

XOXO

♥D

A Good Day at Work

It has been a long time since I have been able to say that. But today, I had a really good day at work. One that I am very proud of. My guys came through. I worked my ass off. And we reaped some of those benefits today. It is nice to get something back for all the hard work. A little taste of the high life. Next week, I am looking for more of the same. D

Sunday Stealing...Because I Don't Know What to Blog About

This has been one of those crazy weeks. One that I have no real explanation for. Other than I really thought that I would go crazy on Friday. But things are somewhat going better. And all I can do, is continue to hope for the best.

On a better note, D is excited about today. And his excitement is rubbing off. I think things are going to go well today. He deserves all the best. And I am definitely his biggest cheerleader. Fingers crossed, things are going to be positive today.

And without further ado, here are this week's Sunday Stealing. Enjoy! And don't forget to link your answers here so I can read them!

XOXO
