I think I was spoiled this year... Dont you?  P.s Lindley it is snowing... Get me out of Idaho SOON! 

I'm The Kinda Girl who.....

Everyone I follow has been posting this topic this week, and well I figured it would be fun to jump in on! So.... bring on the randomness. 

• I'm the kind of girl who can talk and talk and talk all day at work, but when she gets home can go hours with out talking.... (Yes its true) 
• I'm the kinda girl that loves to sit in fat pants(yoga pants) and watch movies on a Friday night and be completely content. We did this on my birthday after eating Grilled Cheese samwhich's! More on this tomorrow! 
• I am the girl who loves who she is and rarely wears make up. I maybe can count on one hand the amount of times I wore it last year. I have some, I just don't think women need it. Women are pretty the way they are, embrace yourself! 
• I am the girl who loves to say that this following picture is my FUR CHILD!!!

• I'm the girl that loves her friends and family and loves them so much! 
• I am the girl who is afraid to die... Just because of the physical unknowns after... 
• I am the girl who loves to go shooting and hunting with my man! 
• I am a young woman who has Interstitial Cystitis
• I'm the girl that has the best Furchild, and boyfriend a girl could ask for... 

24....

Well in-case you didn't catch on, TODAY is MY Birthday.... Yep! 

Happy Valentine's day to the world, and happy Birthday to me! 

May all of you have a fabulous weekend and a good Valentines day! 

Today I will be loving on these two handsome men... 

 

HAM and... 

My Fur child... 

I hope even if you are single that you find time to spend with those you love and showing yourself some love! 

Have a good weekend! 

Let's talk about it...

Let's talk about Valentines day... 

Well since it is tomorrow, and everyone always has an opinion on the day... I figured we should talk about it. 

Most people either hate the day because they are single and feel alone and left out, or they love it because society has told men that they need to spoil women on this day. 

Me... Well it is my Birthday... So I am kind of biased, and have to love it. Although, I really don't. 

I have never really enjoyed my birthday being on Valentines day. When I was younger, My friends never could celebrate because they had to baby sit their siblings, or because their parents had plans.  

In Junior High school, this got worse, Every girlfriend of mine made it a day about them... I am sorry but your birthday is the one GOD given day of the year that you should be spoiled, and it should be about you! 

When I turned 21, It was a group of my 6 guy friends, and my sister and her hubby. That's it. All the gal's decided that their Boo's were more important. Great I get that But SERIOUSLY?  I think it is worse when your friends call and say happy B-day and then turn around and do nothing but talk about how it's the best day of their lives because their boyfriend did .... etc such as propose or spoil them. It would be different If I had a female to share this with... but nope. 

Now as adult, I am over all of that. Except if you want to go to dinner, Good luck,  You better plan it for a different day. It makes it hard to really make you feel it being your day. 

I have always been a good girlfriend and gotten my boyfriend, and ex's(when dating at the time) a gift. It is always weird when you have to buy gifts for other people for your brithday/Holiday. Most people either go Awww a love child, or the think that its awsome because you get spoiled, Or the guys love it because they think they can get away with only one gift. Most of the time you get cheated and they only do one... 

So I mean I love Valentine's day due to my Birthday...However, 

I HATE having it on Valentines day. 

What are your opinion's? Do you Love or hate Valentine's Day?

Heaven In A CUP..............

This stuff has to be the most yummy, smelling, addictive tea that I have ever come across! 

I love it. 

I normally can get a 24 bag box for about $8-9. They also carry it in loose leaf to where you need a tea ball. 

However, whatever way you want it... It's heaven! 

It has ginger and really good things for you! 

:) I just figured I would show and share my love for a local-ish yummy Tea! 

Menu... & Spill the Beans, Tidbit Tuesday

Why Hello There... 

It has been a few days. I am sorry for that. I have been going through some major life decisions for health reasons. They have been kind of rough. I have six weeks to make up my mind, that will change my life forever... 

However Friday IS my BIRTHDAY!!!! Yay! 

I have also Picked up a second job again, so I am working 7 days a week. I work 45 hours a week at my corporate job, and I am working 16-20 hours on the weekends, Plus attending school online for at least 5 hours each week!   Not to mention having a life, spending time with the man, and the Furchild! 

So If I am Missing in Action from time to time, I am sorry. I will try to not be but don't hold me to it! 

So Since I am making up for lost time...
