A Few of my Favorite Things

I was reading through some of my favorite blogs and decided I would share with yall a few of my FAVORITE things! I love reading about things others enjoy bc you never know....I may enjoy them as well or maybe its something I dont know about but something that I should! :)

Here are some of my Favorite things...........in no specific order!!

I love makeup which may surprise some people that know me personally. I'm the kind of girl that will go with it or without it. I'm such a product girl though...I love makeup and different brands.................

I love my Foundation

Makeup Forever is seriously the best foundation I have ever found. Its not heavy, greasy or smelly. Its perfect coverage and flawless.

My favorite lip gloss

One of my favorite lip glosses would be Orgasm by Nars. (sorry for the name) Love the blush as well!!

I like to wear a different perfume everyday. I'm constantly switching my fragrances up but I have a new fave just of last week

I love my Iphone--I seriously can do EVERYTHING on it

Moroccan Oil--great for your hair and WILL NOT make it oily. Adds great shine

Lastly, My new favorite CD

David Nail...GREAT CD. If you haven't heard him you don't know what you are missing. ;) I know ladies he's a hottie but he's happily married to one of my best friends! Go grab his CD you wont be disappointed!

Now that I have shared a few of my favorites........you should share yours!

Rebel

I know this is two posts in one day but for a very good reason. The precious kitten in my last post....now has a home!! A few people have asked me about this kitten so to answer you all....yes Kitten has a new home-- I kept him and his name is Rebel.

A few weeks ago I posted about Rebel and his hard life for a four week old kitten. I also asked if anyone wanted a kitten. Well needles to say I fell in love. Im not even a cat person. I have two dogs who are totally spoiled rotten and I mean ROTTEN! This kitten though pulled on one of my heartstrings and he now has a home. My vet told me he wouldnt even live. For you that do not know this kitten's story, let me catch you up. My mom found a kitten on the interstate (yes you read correctly ON the interstate) in 100 degree temperatures. She flew by him at 75 mph and quickly turned around. She traveled 3 hours with this kitten to get home. He did not have teeth so we had to bottle feed him and carry him bc he could barely walk. The following day we took him to the doctor only to find out this little thing was deathly sick. He had a respiratory and intestinal infection. We purchased meds to try and save him but we were sent home with very little hope. Let me tell you for an entire week we nursed this kitten and he had a will to fight. He pulled through.

So that brings us to today!! We tried really hard to find Rebel (not for Ole Miss--my mom's boyfriend named him and his name says it all) a home and we found several but............whenever someone would say "yeah we want a kitten" well they were never good enough. ha! We have all grown so attached to Rebel that we just couldnt give him up. We were so worried. We didnt want him to be an outdoors cat bc he has been with us since day one pretty much. He is so personable. He is not afraid of anything. He LOVES his belly rubbed and sleeps on his back. (If you know cats, you know this is not common). Rebel is very secure and content with us. He loves the dogs and they love him. I joke around and tell everyone he will be barking soon-- Im afraid that he my think he is a dog. haha!! So YES I kept him....he has a home (a good one) and his name is Rebel.

Wordless Wednsday....Life's tough

H1N1..aka...Swine Flu

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL weekend!
I sure did. It doesnt get much better than spending time with Friends and Loved ones plus plenty of "vegg" time. "Vegg" yeah like veggie but without the IE. People make fun of me for that word but I use it often...haha.

On to the point of this post........hence the title! I know everyone has heard of the Swine Flu--we live in America and its being discussed EVERYWHERE. This has not really been a huge concern in my everyday life but I must admit...im gettign a bit concerned. I know of several people who have been sick with this and I keep hearing of more. I tend to be OCD when it comes to germs. Im a huge baby when Im sick and I mean huge! I hate being sick! This past weekend a child died in my hometown from this H1N1 virus. The news keeps talking about how healthy the child was. (Scary) Then to top it off....half of Ole Miss seems to be catching this virus...which is not far from where I live. aahhh...so I have been washing my hands like crazy (they are dry and even hurt) When Im not washing, im using my Purell. I find myself holding my breath in public places....crazy I know. ha!! I just pray that I do not catch this virus nor anyone in my family. My prayers go out to everyone who catches it and I pray for a healthy fast recovery!!

Now dont get me wrong. I have total FAITH in the lord and I know he is in control. I also know that people can be in a car wreck or get cancer just as easily as one could come down with H1N1. I guess when it starts to get close to home though you really start thinking. So please Swine Flu...........STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!

So everyone....do not forget to wash your hands and cover your mouths. Oh and pick up some Purell while your at the store. :) Lets help keep these germs away!

Finally Friday

Wow it has been a long week..................AND im so ready for this 4 day weekend!!

Its a SAD day in the Big Brother house!! I hate seeing Jeff (America's favorite) leave the house. Dont even correct me if he happens to not be your favorite!! :) Im just kidding but seriously.....not only is he cute, sweet, funny, did I mention good looking and completely adorable.......he makes this season worth watching! I love him with Jordan and now she is missing her Best Friend in the house. I dont even want to watch anymore but as long as Jordan remains, I will watch. Just maybe....somehow.....someway....Jeff will come back...just maybe. hah!

Im sure gonna miss him........

And Im gonna miss Jorff

Does everyone have big plans for this weekend? I dont have BIG plans but its sure to be fun. Who doesnt enjoy time off of work spent with the ones you love! I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL and SAFE weekend!! Im loving the weather here...perfect time for Football season. I have seen a lot of football talk around here so it appears that Im not the only one super excited for the games to begin!!

HAPPY FRIDAY

Have you ever seen such a mess.......

I wish I had a better picture but this is as good as it gets! So this past weekend one of my girlfriends said I have to show you this yard sale. Considering the fact that I'm a crafty person, I love finding junk and old stuff that I can re-vamp. But........I could not even get out of the car to dig through this junk. The picture does not do justice to this scene. I took the picture from the curb at the side of the house. Heather would not pull around front bc the people were sitting in the driveway and she was embarrassed. I told her she shouldn't be embarrassed....if anyone should be, it should be the owner of that YARD. :)

They had JUNK from the drive way to the curb on all sides of the yard. You could not see the grass for all the junk. I want to know how you collect that much junk over time and where in the world they stored all that stuff. I'm talking "random" out dated junk. Now I know every ones junk is someone elses treasure but good gracious they had a ton of stuff. I took this picture on Saturday.........the yard sale had been set up since Thursday........now can you picture all the junk that was out there!

I was in total shock over this yard sale. I'm in no way making fun of this sale because like I said earlier, I LOVE a good garage/yard sale. My concern is........where did all this stuff come from bc I know it was not stored in the house that sits on that yard!!!

Precious Brooks

It has been a few days since I posted anything but I have a very good reason for the lack of my blogging. Im an aunt again. :) A proud one at that. Brooks is here and healthy!!! One of my bestest friends had her baby boy last Tues and I am completely in LOVE with him. It has been so much fun just watching him change and grow over the past few days.....I cant imagine what the next few years will be like. He is one spoiled (not rotten) but spoiled baby boy. He is the first baby to be born within our girlfriend group. We just cant get enough of him. Keep in mind that as of today he is one week old....his Mimi has already printed out 500 something pictures of him. haha! He will not be camera shy...thats for sure. He has his Pop wrapped around his finger. His daddy jumps up at the chance to do anything for him....feed, change, burp, rock him...you name it. His mama (Jamie) is getting plenty of rest time bc everyone WANTS to help her and really we just want to spend quality time with Brooks. I am really happy for Jamie and Corey and cant wait to watch Brooks grow.
