Fill it in and Make it Up!

Wow this weekend was super busy!  We celebrated my hubby's 31st birthday on Friday and the weekend was non-stop from there. Friday I spent the day prepping the house and food for the party (I will post pictures soon) but this meant I didn't have time for my Friday fill in the blanks post.  

this was the party invite.

So as usual I am playing catch up and going with Make it Up Monday :)


The last thing I ate was TLC breakfast bar, that's pretty much what I eat on the way to work everyday.
The last song I listened to was Norah Jones Come Away with Me
Using the letters in my name I can spell strangest question ever... but let's go with it.  {Constance}... stance, ace, cent, not, case, one, none, cant, case,cast, once, con,... I don't know probably more but I don't have time for this heehee
If I had to dress in one color for the rest of my life I would pick black.  Maybe boring but you can dress up or down in black, it is slimming, it can have an "artistic" feel.
If you were to look in my bag right now you'd find my Kindle, ear buds, sales tax payment to mail out today, wallet, receipts, lotion, makeup bag, sunglasses, lip gloss, comb/pick, (I'm actually traveling pretty light today).
When I finish filling in the blanks I'm going to  work. ;)
My all time favorite song to dance to is I'm not really sure of an exact song but I know it would be a country song and it would probably be a fairly fast one.  I love two-stepping with my honey.... even though we haven't gone it forever.




Hope you all had a good weekend.

A four letter word!

We have been having a lot of fun posts the last couple of months so much fun I have hardly spent any time with you "being real", not ever faking who I am, is my desire is in this blog  - to keep it real. But I truly have been enjoying the fun moments and sharing my hopes for the future and then this week all of the sudden I have been hit, almost felt blindsided, by my own selfish heart.

Envy... a four letter word figuratively and literally ...

Filling it In {Friday} Free Time

It's interesting to me that today's blanks all have to do with "free time".  As I read the questions I realized that I first better define what I believe free time is. 

I think free time is when I don't have a specific task or responsibillity that needs to be accomplished at that time.

New Stockings!

I finally finished our new stockings.  I meant to do these before Christmas of course but life happens and I never got around to actually cutting out the fabric to make them.  But I really wanted them made before I put up the Christmas decor so I could pull them out next year ready to go.

So without further ado.... here is the finished products.

now for a tree skirt...

Late night Fillin' It In {Friday}! Happy New Year!

I took the day off work to be home with my hubby while he is on his 2 week school break.  Last night we went with some friends to see a movie and then hung out until way too late catching up which was so wonderful since they live in Arizona and we rarely get to see them.

This is our friends wedding last year in AZ.  My hubby was officiating.

My Kindle Case

Earlier this year Phil surprised me with a Kindle which was such a wonderful surprise and I have loved reading on it ever since!  After I was using it for a few weeks I began to worry about scratching the face of it and thinking about what sort of case/cover I should get for it.  Then I I began to price the cases I was completely annoyed at the expense of these cases.

It's Christmas Adam {Friday}!!!!

You know like tomorrow is Christmas Eve!

I have realized that not too many people are familiar with the song I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, I think it is a pretty funny Christmas song and Shirley Temple singing just makes it so cute.  But this year I have made up my own lyrics to the same tune.

ORIGINAL LYRICS                                     MY LYRICS
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas                       I hate being sick on Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do                                       Being sick just really won't do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy                        Don't want a fever, no stinky runny nose
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy          I want to be well to play and enjoy.

So anyway that is silly but it was what I was singing this morning as I made coffee so I thought I would share.
