Dreary Sunday

Vagar, Faroe Islands

Today has been a dreary Sunday as it has rained all day but it was nice and relaxing!

Iceland

found this picture surfing Bing

I need to lock myself away in one of these little houses in Iceland and MAYBE, just maybe I would get all my laundry, homework, and the dishes that are piled in the sink done! 

This week I have been procrastinating really bad. 

Lincoln is working nights and I've been lacking the much needed motivation I need to accomplish all the tings that I need to get done this week. 

School is kicking my butt big time! 

THIS post that I did the first day of school is sure making me eat my words.

Between working 40 hours a week, taking a full load at school, focusing on my man, and trying to maintain a household I'm wound stretched pretty tight. 

I'm not the most pleasant person to be around these days but I just can't shut my mind off. 

When I'm at work I'm thinking about all the things I have at home to do and when I'm at home I'm thinking about the list of things that are waiting for me the next day at work...

Oy Vey

or as they say in Iceland

Crisp Mornings

Fall in Texas is coming!

Beginning Saturday our mornings have been noticeably cooler and I love it.

Nontraditional

This ring is nontraditional but stunning! I would love an engagment/wedding set that was similar and not the traditional type of ring.  Seems like everyone has the same sort of ring these days and my ring, like my love is different! ;)

disclaimer**I'm not engaged or planning on it anytime soon, so chill

Eyebrow Waxing = Belly Laugh

 I found this video that was taken February 2011 right when I got back from Iraq.  Colby and Lara had come over to spend the night and apparently I wanted to take care of Colby's uni brow with some wax strips I had.  He was uncooperative until he fell asleep that was...LOL  I have no clue why I got so tickled but I smile and begin to laugh while watching myself have a good belly laugh. :)

 

Upcoming Weekend

I hope you all have survived the week. 

I barely have with school and a hectic week at work but with me finishing up the majority of my homework tonight and heading out for a little trip with my Mom in the morning it's bound to get better. 

I am taking the computer along for the ride because I will still have to do a few things for school while we are gone but hopefully I can alleviate some that stress tonight with getting it done.

So I can have a care free time in.....

 

Lincoln is working nights so this morning was the last time I will see him until I get home sometime Monday and that's IF I get home in time before he heads out for another shift. 

We said our goodbyes this morning but I had a little surprise waiting for me when I opened the computer tonight when I got home. 

He changed the background!

Isn't he sweet, creative, and pretty handy with the paint program. :)

 

Want List

I have a couple family members that have already mentioned Christmas so I figured I would go ahead and post a wanted list.

Now for all your readers this isn’t necessarily a Christmas list but also a birthday list and just a general because I want it list just in case you wanted to run out and get me any of these awesome things that I NEED!

 

I read so many books on my Kindle the new Kindle Prime membership would save me so much money and I really want one of these along with Kindle gift cards of course.

 

Work clothes and new flats are two things I'm in much need of.  I have worn my flats I have now just about out and new work clothes are always something I need since I don't do much shopping for that type of thing.

With a new year comes a new PLANNER and I'm loving the new designs at Erin Condren.  I'm also loving the tweeks they made to make the planners even better like having the monthly tabs laminated for durability.  LOVING this MOM ;)



 

I maybe a little late for this trend but I love these Sperry top siders.

The next few things are the flowers and gutters I want to put on and around my house.  For this I need a bunch of Lowe's gift cards.  After I put gutters all around and the rain won't tear up my flower beds I plan on putting azaleas and caladiums along the back of the house by our bedroom window.  On the East side of the house where we get full sun I would like to put two white knock out rose bushes on either side of the AC unit. The front needs several things done and I want to use a rose of sharon bush for the front.

I have so many shirts that I can't wear to work because they are sleeveless and if I can wear them I sometimes don't just because it's so cold in the bank.  A cardigan like this one from J. Crew in EVERY color would do me GREAT!

 Like I've mentioned before I really want to trade in my rubber food storage for glass and I found this that would definitely do the trick.

 Besides upgrading my tupperware I also need some new spatulas.

 I have been writing more handwritten notes lately and I think I would keep it up if I had some nice stationary....found these two at Etsy.
