Stuff & Things 2/5

by | Feb 5, 2015 | Throwback | 24 comments

++ I woke up like this…flawless.  I know, I know.  We shouldn’t let the furkids in the bed.  But we do.   And it’s not unlikely for me to wake up to some variation of this.  Also?  Bailey isn’t giving me kisses…she’s sound asleep.  Hashtag: this is my life.  And yes, my face is always that swollen when I wake up.  Whatever.  Real life.

++ Swag. I won Meghan’s birthday giveaway a few weeks ago!  What’s even better is she was able to hand deliver my goodies during our blogger date a couple weeks ago at The Aviator with the sweet Kirstina.  I got to pick out and design the MayBook, and I’m in love!  It arrived so fast considering it was a custom item!  I went with the meal planner book, and I highly recommend it.  Thanks for the goods, Meghan!

++ Happy Feet…Kushyfoot.  I know.  Sneaking in sponsored content. But when Lipton Publicity contacted me about trying out these samples, I was suffering so bad from leg cramps from running.  I said sure, send em over.  I’ll say this, I’m a fan.  The compression socks really feel good and keep just enough pressure on my calves that it prevents the constant cramping I was feeling.  And the fleeced lined (oooooh my favorite as you know) were the perfect thing to wear with my heels for church since it was a particularly freezing day.  And if you’ve hung around long enough…you know my nights out in Charlotte ended with me walking through downtown Charlotte shoeless…those flats would have been perfect back then! Lipton Publicity/KushyFoot sent me these products.  All opinions are my own.




++ Joey. Joey. Joey. JOEY! JOEY! I go to sleep every. single. night. with FRIENDS on.  Yes, long before it was ever on netflix or cool.  Because of that, every few months (Tuesday night included) that episode when Joey Snores plays when I’m already asleep.  In that scene (if you can’t watch the video), Chandler enters Joey’s room and tries to wake him up by calling out his name over and over.  Never Ever fails. That scene wakes me up.

++ Suicidal Carbs.  J is back on his low/no carb diet.  He’s been doing pretty well.  Well, Wednesday night he was getting something out of the cabinet and I heard this big crash.  “What was that?” I yelled from the couch.  “Pasta.  Lots of pasta.”  I walked in to find spaghetti ALL over the floor!  I just laughed.  “Carbs are literally throwing themselves at you!”

Alright friends!  It’s your turn!
