Christmas Wish List! 2013

Hello, Happy Friday!

Real quick, before i get started, please say a little prayer for Storm she is having surgery today, getting fixed. Will be a weekend at home with her hoping she recovers FAST!

So I know i have not been the best blogger so i know i need to get a post in!

I wanna share my 2013 Christmas Wish List with ya! :) I know Christmas should not be all about gifts, but hey we all like to open gifts Christmas morning right?

I'll keep this short and sweet, promise! :)

1. Breaking Dawn Part 2- I have seen the movie twice in theaters when it came out! :) I am a huge fan of the twilight saga. Do NOT CARE what anyone says. I am bad, i don't have this movie yet. Kept waiting for the boyfriend, now fiance to surprise me with it sometime, so guess i'll wait for Christmas, FINGERS crossed! 

2. Princess cut diamond Earrings- I need a new pair of pretty bling bling for my ears! Tevis bought me my first pair of diamond earrings for my birthday years ago it seems like. TIME FOR SOME NEW BLING BABY!

3. Ninja- So my girl Alicia, got her ninja on black Friday! I Sure hope my little hints and giving tevis a bed bath and beyond catalog with a 20% off code was enough for me to get this or something VERY similar LOL

4. Treadmill, Elliptical - I want either a treadmill, elliptical or one that does both. I think it would be cheaper in the long run for me to get one of these. I have been wanting one for years. I opt'ed for a stationary bike. I know its giving me exercise but i wont feel it like i would on a treadmill.

5. iMac 27- OH YEAH. I of course have this on my wishlist but it will most likely be a graduation present. The screen is huge and I just think I need to update electronics :) How awesome would this computer be?

6. iTunes gift cards- Can't go wrong with an iTunes gift card, i could have fun with buying things in the apple store or buying amazing workout music! 

I Hope everyone has a great Weekend and keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we are having a yucky winter storm and Storm is having surgery!

Crazy we were just have terrible thunderstorms and tornadoes and now we are having a winter storm! Mother nature ROCKS! (rolls eyes)

We Can!

My short term goal is to get under 200lb and STAY under that.

I started at 220

My long term goal, i wanna be anywhere between 145-165 not 100% sure what my true goal is... or where i should be at for my age and height .

IT IS TUESDAY!!!
 Which mean I am Linking up with some awesome girls for a THIS or that link up.
Candra, Jodi, Kristine, and Katie

Questions this week are? 

Screened in porch, wrap around deck? - Well this one is tough! I dont think we need a screen porch, just a bigger deck. Not necessarily a wrap around, just bigger :)

Big luxurious bathtub, huge walk in closet?- I love my relaxing bubble baths. So i must said i need a big luxurious bathtub, with jets to be exact!

Kitchen with an island, kitchen with a breakfast bar?- My kitchen is SOO SMALL. So i want a more open kitchen with an island :)


Big front yard, big back yard?- Big backyard, which we basically have already. I have two dogs now and Delaney, we need all the space we can get :)

Bountiful garden, nearby grocery store? - near a grocery store, which everything is surrounding us. Its so nice :) I love living in greenwood and in town in a great neighborhood!

Next week’s topic is WINTER!! We don’t get a ton, if any, snow here really before Jan/Feb but the temperature has sure started to drop! Next week’s questions are:

Fashionable snow boots, practical snow boots?
Hat, ear muffs?
Snowed in, playing out in the snow?
Sledding, snow tubing?
Almost winter, Winter’s almost over?



Thanks ladies for doing this Link Up and letting me have something to post about. I am busy cleaning, laundry and going to start painting the spare bedroom. :) So i am a little busy today!

Hello Cyber Monday

I have a shopping problem! 

With that being said, I did not go out to the stores and Black Friday shop! Is it bad i felt some anxiety knowing all these amazing sales are going on and i was not participating in them? Tevis was floored when i said that to him, haha, oops! 

I did some online Black Friday shopping and little bit today for Cyber Monday.

Delaney is seriously OFFICIALLY done, she is going to be one lucky girl on Christmas! 

I bought her NO CLOTHES. I think taking her shopping is more fun anyways :) She is wearing some Medium 7/8 but slowly getting into the large sizes. She needs to stop growing. 

Her biggest gift is a desk for her room, Her favorite gift will be her Journey Girl doll (like american girl just WAY CHEAPER). We got a lot of what she circled in the Toys r Us and Target catalogs. A lot of the gifts are interactive and will keep her busy and challenged. The good thing about this year is MOST of them will stay here at our house so we are slowly getting her a collection of her own toys and things here at Daddy's house :) 

My biggest and best purchase from black Friday and cyber Monday was a new COACH purse! 

this is my purse I picked out Mom is getting me for christmas!

$298 marked down to $99 and she got another 10% off 

I picked this out for my mom :) 

$148 purse marked down to $49.50 + 10% off made it $44.55. WINNING! 

I hope everyone had fun shopping. What were some of your good deals you got? TELL ME! TELL ME!

Update on my Eating better and exercising. Been going strong for almost 3 weeks.

I started at 220lbs. Been eating better(cheat meals here and there) exercise almost daily, tracking my calories. 

As of last Thursday i was down to 216. I hope i continue to see the lbs come off. I planned out over 10+ meals yesterday and went grocery shopping. I love that tevis is so supportive of it and will eat whatever i make for dinner. :)
