Divorce / Happiness / Challenge

It is so weird to constantly hear talk about all these people who have been married for short periods of time getting divorced. And yes mostly by people I mean celebrities. BUT I do know some real life people too.

Did you know that Russel Brand filed for the big DEE-vorc-ay from Katy Perry??
Dont ask me why I'm so shocked. 

However if you were asking in your head, I'll answer.. I'm shocked because they seemed kinda like they were good for each other. Too bad. 

The celeb couple I'd be SUPER duper shocked if divorced is this cute little couple.

Maybe its cause I follow them on facebook and they are always so cute.

Today was just straight up Happiness.
Work was great. Helping people made my day. And after work I went to Michaels to get stuff for my challenge thing a majigg and then to Chic-Fil A for din-din. ANND the Lady at the drive up window said:

"you're like really pretty"

Whether or not it was a joke, it made my day x 2!
The reason I feel it was a joke is cause I came home, looked in the mirror, expecting to see a golden goddess, and I saw this...

Also, I put up shelves my step mom got me for Christmas and I freakin love it!
Adds a little spunk to my walls.

Of course I'm also happy that its the weekend.

Another 3 day weekend! HOLLAA!!!

Challenge Update.. I dont think I'll complete this. SAD face!

If not finish, I know I'll get close.

Today I cross off number 9!

1. Sand/Paint side table.

2. Take 200 pictures in one day.

3. Try one work out pin from pinterest.

4. Try one new recipe from pinterest.

5. Make someone's day.

6. Buy something online.

7. Print pictures for album/finalize pages for wedding scrapbook.

8. Have a date night with myself.

9. Make something cool and crafty.

10. Write about something important to me.

So I just got some supplies from Michaels:

 Rings the size I wanted my dream catcher to be.

Suade string in the color of my liking.

Everything else I found just lying around. 

I started by putting a dab of hot glue on the ring and placed the string over it.

Then started to wrap it around so no ring shows.

After it was all covered I took some twine and tied a knot.

Then went to another side of the ring and tied a knot. 

I proceeded around the ring till I got back to where I started.

Then I just started to go at random angles to make it like a web.

There were more specific dircetions to make it look more like a star

but I just went crazy.

Turned out Okay if you're not too particular!

I then just added some charms and feathers I had laying around.

And put a chain on it for a necklace look. I may take the chain off and just hang it in my car

or by my bed to catch the bad dreams :)

Over all this was a pretty fun project.

Simple too. Cost: $9!!

 

Have a great last couple days of 2011!

Today I like to think that I made somebodies day. Or at least I put the effort into this thought that I had intended when I set it as a goal for myself.

I had such a humbling situation today. Takin call after call at work when I got a very kind lady who described the most upsetting situation. I cannot go into too much detail for HIPAA reasons. But she had a miscarriage and felt completely alone with it. Both professionaly from physicians and emotionally from her family. With it being the holidays definitely did not make the situation any lighter. My heart went out to this lady. I almost teared up while on the phone with her. She was so kind and I could hear the sadness in her tone. I am so grateful at our work for having the opportunity to send flowers for these types of situations. I wrote up a request and thats the least I can do to try to make someones day after events as she's had.

I almost feel guilty crossing this off my list, because it came so naturally to sympathize with her.

1. Sand/Paint side table.

2. Take 200 pictures in one day.

3. Try one work out pin from pinterest.

4. Try one new recipe from pinterest.

5. Make someone's day.

I'm embarrassed to even post these.

I was told just to do everything but leave out the eggs.

Cosmo 2012 / Check List Update

Paging thru the January edition of Cosmo, I found some great hightlights.

Baby Lips by Maybeline, my lips constantly struggle.

So I have already gone out and bought this!

Supposed to restore your lips completely like baby new in one month.

Oh and girls must be excited, cause I got the last one from my local Target!

Also, Cosmo stated that men who are snuggled at night are 3x happier than the men who are not.

Not sure how accurate the statistic is but I love snuggling my hubbie at night.

Even if its just for a minute before we fall asleep.

AND..They said that these were in.

Don't know how I feel about them yet.
