Life Lately...

Craig and Me aka Toots & Dill - Memorial Day Weekend - 2018

~ I can't believe Craig and I met eight years ago. It seems like yesterday we got married and the day before that we moved in together and in a blink of an eye we were together. I'm so happy I waved at a friend and Craig saw me instead. ~

~ I've been breast fibroid free for 8 years! It's so important to do self breast examinations and to say something to your doctor if you feel something off! ~

Randomness: A Little Corner of Music Nostaglia

Something you might not know about me is that I'm a 100% complete and utter fan girl. 

Earlier this week I took part in a Twitter chat from #TheGirlGang formed by Jenna @Dorkface and it hit home in a lil place in my fan girl heart. It was about 90's nostalgia and oh how I long for my emo/boy band days! It was so much fun to chat with these ladies of all ages and places in the world who like same things I did!!! It's funny how similar we all really are out there!

Appropriately I somehow caught "She's All That" over the weekend on TV! That's a movie I always stop and watch if I catch it. Then I heard that there is some form of "Cruel Intentions" spin-off TV series coming?!? Sarah Michele Gellar even dyed her hair dark again for her role!! Oh and apparently Fall Out Boy parodied N'SYNC for their new music video "Irresistible" AND Joey Fatone & Chris Fitspatrick are in the video!!!! Yeah I can't contain the fan girl happiness...

About Me: 10 Reasons Why I'm Excited For Spring

This weekend gave me a peek at Spring and I want more!! I've been packing all day for my Florida trip and it's really gotten me thinking of the warmer weather and all the fun things I love to do in the Spring!! 

What's Hap "Pinning" Wednesday! Hello March!

Through the last few years March has become the most special month of the year for me!!

Why you ask?

Well in 2014 Craig proposed to me on the first day of Spring March 20th and in 2015 I got married to my garage band king on March 27th. This March in 2016 I will be celebrating my first wedding anniversary!! On Easter too! =P 

Move over chocolate bunny - I have my wedding cake to eat!  I just hope the top of my wedding cake is still good! Yup, it's still in my freezer hopefully chilling away! =) 

Is this wedding tradition still alive??

Do people still save the top of their Wedding Cakes??

Thursday Confessions...

Weekly Lady of Inspiration: Tina Fey

I've been going through a little bit of a rough patch of time so I thought today would be a perfect time to join in on the Confessions Time!! I think that's why I wanted to share with you a simple DIY that wouldn't stress you out and celebrate my lil progress in finishing the wife conversion process this week. I'm stressed, but I'm a big fan of the phrase "This too shall pass" and eventually I know everything will even out. =)

Happy Wednesday! Well here's hoping it's a happy Wednesday...I have to go to the car place this morning because a little light turned on in my car - this can't be good. Work is crazy this week and there just isn't strong enough coffee to keep my focus up. So today I thought I would join Jenn & Jessi for the fun that is "What's Hap "Pinning" Wednesday to lighten the airs a bit!

"We Could Steal Time Just For One Day"

There is another part of this lil blog besides what I've shown you so far that needs to come to the table more often. Dill aka Craig aka my husband. He plays the bass, the guitar, and a mean harmonica. One of the artists responsible for his love, passion, drive, and commitment was David Bowie. Countless times Craig chooses one of Bowie's songs over all the rest to play in the car, he hums/whistles his songs more than he can count, and Bowie was a true inspiration for him. Yesterday the world lost a great artist and he will be deeply missed.

Winter has finally decided to rear it's pretty head around Southern New York! Thankfully, no snow just yet! We've pulled out the heavy blankets, cranked the heat up, and tried hard to get our kitties to sleep with us under the covers with us so they'd be warm too! I'm really missing the 60's & 70's temps we've been having, especially Christmas day where you barely needed a coat! Deep down I know it's supposed to be this cold and it's a good thing I guess for winter to be showing up! 

Now that the big resolutions, hopefuls, and goals are set for the new aspiring year I thought I would share some of the little fun things I was grateful to receive this Christmas season!
