Day 4

A habit you wish you didn't have

How about addiciton?

Ugh....downfall of mine. I have a habit of grabbing handfuls of M&M's, small size peanut butter cups, a package of fruit snacks, chocolate in general, and gummie bears. It is not something I am proud of. This is a habit I would love to break. I just sometimes crave 1 piece of candy a day. Someone end it, please. My worst habit aka candy of choice:

These are the worst for me. You can keep popping them in your mouth and never know how many you have consumed. BAD HABIT!

Day 3

A picture of the cast from your favorite TV show

This was a hard one (that's what she said) mainly because I don't watch that much TV and there are 3 that I am always keeping up on. Glee, Grey's, and The Office. Now, I own all the seasons for all 3 shows but I will have to go with The Office on this one. No matter what I have memorized, how many times I watch it, it is just as funny, if not more funny, then the first time. I love Dwight. I really do. He makes me laugh out loud every week. Jim, come on, it's Jim. I heart that man. Anything Jim and Pam gets to me too. Of course, Michael. He is so awkward and there are times I have to shut my eyes but he makes the show. Andy is a complete insane little man, but anytime he sings, you know it will be epic. Kevin....oh my word. Everyting Kevin does or says is a gut buster! I just love everything about that show. I am really nervous about Steve leaving the show. A) I know I will bawl my eyes out. B) I hope the dynamic stays somewhat the same. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Day 2

A photo of a you and a person you have been close with for a long time.

I selected my parents for this day. I could have picked quite a few friends, co-workers, animals (lol), but I decided to pick them. No matter what, they love me. No matter what I go through, they are there. They always have my back and support me in everything I do. It is amazing how your relationship with your parents does change over the years. I am still shocked that 28 years later, my parents are my friends. I wouldn't have it any other way. I look forward to the times when I get to hang out with them. What is up with that? I enjoy every moment and love to call them friends.

30 days of Photos

I have a couple of friends doing this on their blogs and I finally agreed to do it.

15) I love white cake! Especially white wedding cake!

Weekend

Short and simple.

Weekend sucked.

Highlight: Making Valentines with Jake and my parents catered Jethro's!

Being replaced sucks at times.

Elmo is now in dog heaven and I think I am still in shock.

I would like to just sleep for the next week.

I am now 28 and don't feel anything different.

I have some special gifts for friends tomorrow and can't wait to give them out/drop them off.

Weekend was pretty much an epic failure.

Epic Downfall

I am not naming names on who is to blame for the probably 5lbs that are about to appear on my thighs. I will however tell you what I have consumed to cause this....Tootsie Rolls. Talk about my Epic Downfall in life. This chocolate flavored treat is a weakness. Small, Midgee, Long...I love Tootsie Rolls. It is not a pleasant thing. Some of my friends know this weakness and leave them in random places. My hubby leaves them on my pillow, in the car, and in my purse. Friends always give them to me for Christmas, Birthdays, Valentines Day, or just to get on my bad side of a day (I swear!). It is especially bad at work. Again, someone that will remain nameless, is going to get set up on an Epic Downfall of their own soon enough. Revenge is 'sweet' and it's coming. If I am sitting at my desk, I will just eat them all. This is in reference to someone giving me a GIANT thing of them on Thursday. It is now Friday evening and I can say only 1/4 of them remain. I have no eaten them all myself. My trash can is/was full of about 500 wrappers due to people constantly stopping by both days. I also think the night crew grabbed a few because there were wrappers in my trash can AFTER they dumped it. Tisk Tisk. I honestly should just tell them to take them. I do not need them attaching to my thighs. Ugh, they taste so good though. I will ban them after Monday. I have to prepare myself for lent. Giving up candy again...this is not going to be a good 40 days. March 9th - April 23...look out for me! Kidding!

Thank you to a certain someone for filling me up with Tootsie Rolls for the past few days. The chocolaty little logs honestly are delish!

The lovely holiday that makes you sweat is coming up......Valentines Day. Don't get me wrong, I think it is great to celerate love, whether if it's in a significant other, children, friends, family, etc, but we should be doing it year round. I love them all everyday so why should one day be different? I love spur of the moment things rather then a day advertising you to do something. For instance, I enjoy those days when Michael comes home with flowers 'just because' or there is a card laying in my car or on my pillow to just tell me he loves me. I love enjoy the spontenaity of that. If you celebrate Valentines Day, it's perfectly fine. I enjoy seeing others get gifts and have their men/woman gush all over them. I maybe spoiled and just get that all the time. I will however, spoil my friends. Your friends are your friends no matter what. They are always there for you and I think those are usually the people I tend to not thank enough. I did send out/going to give out, some friendly valentines to some special people in my life. Jake got into it too and is sending valentines in the mail to some of his friends. Most of course are girls, but I can't help it that my children are severly out numbered in the sex category. Apparently we are one of the rare ones that have only boys! =) I love it though! My one I guess major let down about Valentines Day is when I see others not get what they want. I feel like there are some men out there that need to take full advantage of Valentines Day and don't. My heart aches for those people because they deserve it more then most. That is why my agenda this year is to make those who are single (even if by choice) or that sometimes don't get enough recognition, to give them a special day! I am so very fortunate to have some of the most amazing people in my life and I am very grateful for how they have blessed me and made me a better person! God always puts people in your life that complete you. I feel like every where I go, I have people that always complete me and make me better. I try to be that for others as well.

I hope everyone shows a little extra love on Monday to show people in your life that you care. Even if it's just a silly card or a piece of candy. I guess you can never really hear "I love you" enough.
