Fist Pump Friday

Happy Friday my pretties!!

Hope you all have had a stellar week...I know I have!

So this Fist Pump Friday is all about the good things in my life right now, like....

*Going to see the Shriner's about Lincoln's legs yesterday, and them giving us hope that his bones are working really hard to correct themselves, so we may not need surgery! YAY! It was so cool to see the xrays that actually showed the new bone forming, and to be reassured that, in time, my little man will be able to run and play sports and do what ever else he feels like doing...with out being held back by physical problems.

*Being a week closer to starting my new big girl job! I just have next week left at the job from hell, then I'm off to bigger and better things! And new professional clothes....which means I better get shopping. i have worn nothing but jeans to work for the past 3.5 years, and the new gig says helltotheno to the dungarees. Upside? I love a perfectly indisputable reason to go shopping. Downside? My town has a serious lack of good shopping spots....

*But STL doesn't! Which is exactly where I'll be this weekend. Me and the boys are heading back to St. Louis tomorrow to catch the Rangers vs. Blues hockey game, and I'm just thinking I might be able to put on my best puppy dog eyes to say "but Richard, I HAVE to have new work clothes! puh-puh-puh-PLEASE take me shopping??" Works like a charm! 

Have a freakin fantastic weekend!!

Fist Pump Friday Christmas List Edition

Holy moly, Christmas will be here in no time! Do you have all your shopping done? I only have my mom left, and she's frickin' impossible! If you need some help, here are a few things that I am giving this year!





*Alphacritter Mousepad

This is the cutest gift idea! Of course Anthropology always has the best stuff, and at $12 these are a steal. Mine would be a tiger, and I want it. Hint Hint.

*Aurora World plush toys

Lincoln has been obsessed with these YooHoo and Friends stuffed animals for the longest time! He calls them his "friends", and carries them around and sets them up places. They are cute, and they make different little noises when you squeeze them. They came out with these cute "Retro" YooHoo's, and I knew I had to have them. I got him the "60's British Rocker" who is clearly modeled after a Beatle, and the super cute "Love" YooHoo, who makes little kissing sounds! I also got the "Paws Puppets" for my nephew, and the"Fancy Pals" pet carrier for my niece. All of these are under $20, and if you order before Dec. 18th, your guaranteed delivery by Christmas!

*Rhino Toys Oballs

Oballs are amazing (Sounded dirty didn't it?? Well you need to get your mind outta the gutter.) They are these jelly-plastic balls full of holes that make them great for kids to catch and throw. Plus, they are impossible to tear-up and are soft enough to not hurt anyone with! I got the Bat & Oball set and Oball footballs for Lincoln and every other boy on my Christmas list. Bat sets are $14.00 and footballs $8.99, and as long as you order by the 18th, your guaranteed to have them before Christmas!

Good luck getting your shopping done, and have an awesome weekend!

Fist Pump Friday

Happy Friday folks!!

I have had a fantastic week, and here are some of the things keeping me in a happy place!

seriously tried to get this picture to rotate for like an hour. It wasn't having it.

Cupcakes at work. (Don't you just wish you were my co-worker?!) Seriously, cupcakes can make the worst job SO much better!

It has been the perfect fall weather here this week, and I can't wait for it to get colder so I can rock some cozy sweaters! I'm loving this one from ModCloth.

e-mealz is my new best friend. Its a super inexpensive meal planning service, that for just $5 a month makes me weekly meal plans with grocery list included. Not only is it a huge time saver, but its budget friendly, since they strive to keep every weeks grocery budget around $75. So do yourself a favor and click the link, its amazing.

I'm in love♥

And lastly, what I know your waiting for....

the winner of the $45 gift certificate to CSN Stores is...

Rachel from The Dalai Mama!!

Congrats girl, and thanks to everyone for entering!

Have an awesome weekend, see ya on the flip side!

Fist Pump Friday-Fall Festival Edition

This week, this first week of October, is kinda a big deal here in Evansville, IN. Who am I kidding, its a HUGE deal. Its the annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival, and if you live in a 100 mile radius of here, your crazy not to come. People show up from all over to partake in the delicious, fatty, fried foods. Seriously, it's a  heart attack waiting to happen, but SO worth it.

All the fried and overly sugared goods you could want!! And then plenty of rides to make you puke it right back up:)

Can't miss the talent show full of little baby hookers!

And the piece de resisitance this year:

Deep fried turkey testicles. I have yet to try them, but I hear they taste like chicken:)

Check out this link for more info on turkey balls, and have a great weekend!!

Fist Pump Friday

This might have been the longest week of my life...but woot woot!! Its FRIDAY!!!! And just in the nick of time, I was about to lose my shit if this week didn't end soon. And now I get to relax and enjoy the weekend, and then HOORAY! Next week is premier week!! All my favs are back to occupy the hours in between working!
So here it is, Fist Pump Friday, the TV edition.

Watching some of the returning shows will be like catching up with old friends, and oh how I've missed them!

*First and foremost, GLEE is back!!! I can't wait to see these kids rock some more of my favorite jams, and I'm pretty stoked to see Brittney's cameo as well.

*Speaking of awesome Glee cameos, I'm super pumped for the new season of How I Met Your Mother! Neal Patrick Harris rocks my socks off.

* If you haven't watched Rules of Engagement before, you need to start. It is seriously one of the funniest shows on!! I ♥ it.

* The funniest show of all has got to be Modern Family. Hands down. I rarely get done watching without a little tinkle in the pants.

*Nothing else could keep me on my Modern Family high quite the way Cougar Town does. Seriously, does anyone else agree that Penny Can is an amazing came???

I definitely do NOT want to make the new kids feel like ugly step children, so I'm going to give several of the newbies the chance to make me giggle.

*This looks hilarious! Hope it doesn't let me down...

*I love watching shows about trashy people, it's like seeing a monkey in it's natural habitat.

*Will Arnett's creepy voice, Felicity and lots of money?? Sounds like a winner.

*Sexy spies?? Count me in. 

What shows are your must watches for the new season??
