Sunday Social

Happy Sunday Y'all!!


I'm linking up today with Neely and Ashley for:

What is your ideal way to relax?
With a glass of wine! Wine makes everything Fine.

Where is your favorite place to be?
Charleston SC.  It's my happy place.  Or in my bed.. because lets face it.. being in bed is awesome.

Who do you consider your biggest role model?
 In terms of real people that I know: My friend Cate. She has seen me through some really tough times, and she always gives me the best advice.  Even when it's just "You're being ridiculous" I love her blunt honesty and her constant support. Also, Scarlett O'Hara.  She's the best. She's fearless and tenacious.

What does your life look like in 3 years?
 Ideally, I'll have finished school and be an EC teacher, be in a normal healthy stable happy relationship that's headed down the aisle, and I'll still be just as Sassy.

If you could go back and change one decision what would it be?
I would have high tailed it in the opposite direction after the first big fight with my now ex-husband.   Although, I probably wouldn't be the same person I am now.  I know it was a mistake I had to make, but I could have saved myself and others from a whole lot of hurt and sadness.

What is your biggest accomplishment in life thus far?
Getting myself out of my abusive marriage.   Don't forget to enter our Giveaway!!

Man Repellent

Apparently, I am Man Repellent.  
It has recently been brought to my attention that I send out this weird "Commit to me" vibe. I have narrowed it down to several factors that seem to make guys think that I want more than I do, even when I say that I'm fine with something more casual!.   The Reasons why guys think that I want a more serious relationship &/or why I am Man Repellent: 1. I'm happy and perky. 2. I put time and effort into my appearance. 3. I use a lot of emoticons in my texts (that probably comes off as flirty.. Right?). 4. I use terms of endearment for everyone. 5. I cook and bake, and enjoy it. 6. I'm incredibly thoughtful. 7. I try very hard to make people feel at ease (also comes off as flirty) 8. I know that I am in fact a kick ass girlfriend. 9. I seem way too good to be true (come on.. I drink beer annnndddd love football?!) 10. I'm a Southern Belle, and thus bred to be an excellent girlfriend, fiance and wife. 11. I'm obsessed with my cat (but seriously.. he's adorable) 12. I really like wine, but I can shoot whiskey like a man. 13. Let's face it, I can drink anything like a man. 14. I like to give cards, and will not ever give someone so much as a muffin without a card (probably my personalized postcards). 15. I'm a nurturer.   16. I'm incredibly focused and won't let a guy get in my way. 17. I have some serious emotional baggage. 18. I may have the Tiffany Ring finder app on my phone... Shut up! I like shiny!! 19. For all my southern charm, I can be incredibly blunt 20. I do eventually want to settle down, but I unsettled myself barely a year ago so I'm not looking to resettle quite yet!

Official Launch!! H54F!!!

Yay!! Today is the day!! We are officially launching the giveaway!! a Rafflecopter giveaway

Y'all!!! We had another Snow Day, but it's more of an Ice Day.  I was TERRIFIED while driving home.

I have a tiny two seater car that does not drive well in the snow.  I also live on a "mountain" so lots of curves and hills.  It took me 34 minutes to get home today. It takes me less than 10 minutes to get to work so.. yeah.  I was super stressed out about it.

But now on to the fun!!

1. We officially launched our giveaway today!!! Yayyyyyyyy!!!! Hurry!! Run!! Go Enter!!
2. I had a much needed W(h)ine evening with one of my girlfriend's here in town. We dished and gossiped and down two bottles of wine in less than an hour.  I Loved it.
3. We originally had an early dismissal scheduled for 10:30 am, well it actually started snowing/sleeting at 9:15, so at 9:30 they bumped it up to 10, which was a huge clusterfudge.  Buses were late because the weather started, my students freaked out.  It was chaos.  Then leaving the school my car was not pleased about the ice on the road, and I swerved like three times.  It was terrifying.
4. I finished my first (rather short) week of school with my new job.  I am one tired girl, but y'all I love my job, and my students so much.  It is just ridiculous.  They are so sweet and I find it so rewarding to work with them. Because I only have one student that's verbal, so my weekend will be filled with learning basic signs like "Please", "Thank you", "More", "Help" all the things my students need to say, but can't.  I'm being really disciplined, and using my signs while I'm talking.  New favorite hobby.. I think yes!
5. One of my sweet classmates (yes, I am still in school!) gave me four of his landscapes last night during our class.  He is super talented and I Love them! The one in my collage is my favorite though, it's so gorgeous it almost looks fake!! My favorite part was that he signed the back of them with quotes and sweet sayings. What a doll!!

H54F: Snow Day edition!!

Linking up with Lauren for H54F!!   So I was supposed to start my new job today, but here in the South, we're having a snow day y'all!!
Never mind the fact that we got like 3 inches of snow last night and it's gone now, but we had a snow day none the less.

1. My New Job.  I have a feeling that this will top my list for the next month. 2. Snow Day. I've showered, napped (twice), and mostly watched 3. Classic Movie Marathon. Chelsee knows that I frequently have my own personal movie marathons, 90's movies, Chick Flicks, last night I started with the 1948 version of "Anna Karenina" it has been classic movie perfection all day. 4. My New makeup.  After my second interview earlier this week I was feeling fairly confident but still really nervous so shopping seemed like the logical stress reliever.  I also decided that my makeup routine could use some sprucing up.  I decided that I needed to suck it up and start wearing big girl makeup.  That meant foundation.  I hate foundation. HATE it.  I'll post more about that tomorrow. 5. Kitty BooBoo.  My sweet precious baby loves when we have Mommy and Me Movie Days.  He has very sophisticated taste in cinema.
Katelyn, Chelsee & I will launch our fabulous giveaway next Friday!! Happy Weekend!!

Things I don't Love Thursday

Linking up with Melissa from Lulu & Sweet Pea for some things I don't love Thursday!!

I'm currently loving, but also not really loving the fact that I have to basically get an entirely new wardrobe.. like today.   I went from a job where I wore sweat pants every day, to a job where I have to look nice!  I'm really excited about this, but my bank account is not.  Yay for Loft loving Teachers and giving an extra 15% off discount!!!
The panic about some snow has begun. I have been at work for a little over an hour and I have already had no less than 12 conversations about the snow. Kids are bummed out because they are calling for snow on a day that they don't have school anyway.  People have stocked up on enough milk and bread to survive Snowpacolypse 2013.  I could in all honesty care less.     The fact that Snowpacolypse 2013 could possibly interrupt my date plans and dating in general.  I feel like dating now a days is like playing high stakes monopoly.  Going to jail is a very real possibility because lets be honest girls be crazy, You have to get dressed up, leave the house, be interesting and charming when sometimes all you want to do is stay home with your cat (but then you'll be "that" person..), we all want to be the shoe, but sometimes you end up being the top hat (take from that whatever you'd like, it can even be a little bit dirty)    My Flirty Faces.

Here I thought I was being subtle... Apparently not.  
So now I'm off to go practice flirty faces in the mirror, perhaps I'll try a more smoldering temptress look?
Happy Thursday!
