Stylish Home Types

I took the quiz at stylishhome.com to see what type of home/lifestyle I most resemble...I totally agree with the findings...I have always lusted after a house just like the one above (but painted white with black shutters and a white picket fence!) :)

What style type are you??

Results: You most resemble a "Colonial Renaissance".




Details...

Center hall, formal dining, stately living. Your kitchen is your prize. Decorative, finished… elegant. The subtle refinements of your sleeping nest reflect a desire for order. As with a technical dance, your style has it's own vocabulary. Thematic table accessories set the mood. A lithe and agreeable cab - no meal required. Like all good times start with a divine entry! Meeting all the requirements for a stylish home, commencement begins. .

Doritos Pug

How ADORABLE is this pug commercial that might be in with the other Super Bowl commercials?!  It is beyond funny and so true to my pug's eating habits...He probably would try to knock that door down for a tasty Dorito!! :)

TGIF!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Oh goodness....What I'm loving Wednesday...

• The fact that I messed up the linky thing on the super cute blog over at "This Kind of Love", but that's the kind of day/week I'm having, so I'm going to love and embrace it. :)
• The fact that week 1 of my student teaching is almost done and we have another long weekend ahead...I REALLY need it!
• My sweet, wonderful, and incredibly supportive husband...I literally couldn't make it without him!!
• Our sweet pug that I get puppy kisses from when I get home everyday :)

There are so many other things that I love, but that's all I can think of tonight...I have had a super stressful week that has been filled with readjustments and new things, and I really hope I can live up to it all and do a great job as a student teacher.  I feel guilty b/c my teacher has sooooo much going on that I feel like a bit of a burden to her...Praying that this changes and that everything falls into place.

Happy Hump Day!!

2010 & 2011

We had such an amazing and blessed Christmas and New Years!  Christmas was spent having the annual party at our house (the hubby just LOVES that and all the planning/work that goes into it - sarcasm here, folks!)...a fantastic and relaxing Christmas breakfast in Gray with the IL's where we got hubby's grandparent's secretary which is now residing in our dining room holding wedding china...Not what most would use it for, but I think it looks neat!  We got monogrammed sheets from Neimans from my parents and I got not one, but TWO North Face fleece from the hubby this year :)

Christmas at parents w/ Porter-Pug and Granddaddy :)

We spent the weekend eating WAY too much (as my docs appt and trip to the scales showed me this morning) and going to see "Little Fockers" with my family...SO funny in my opinion!

New Years was spent at the beach in Destin...I went with thoughts of ohhh...sunshine and prettiness!  NOT...rain and COLD was what we got....but it was still fabulous if I do say so myself...Food was fantastic, shopping was divine, and nightlife was fun as ever!  John Weiner's Village Door is the coolest club and was definitely the place to be on NYE...we watched an hour long fireworks display from the deck and then went home to hit the hay like the old folks our bodies seem to think we are!  My feet ached from those high heels all night long! :)

Now we are back on routine and eating healthy...Organic all the way (Thank you, Fresh Market)...

I have a hair appt for tomorrow to get a cut and color (never had it colored before and am so nervous...my hair is DARK...like almost black!) and then orientation friday, taking the gace Saturday, and on to student teaching on monday!!!!!!! EKKKK...I'm SOOOOOO nervous.  Praying everything goes well and that time flies! :)

I need to make a "supplies" list of beauty essentials to get at Ulta tomorrow, b/c  I fear I may not have time to go by there for a while. 

Happy Hump Day!

Holidays and All It's Surprises!

I am DONE with finals and FREE for a whole MONTH!!! 

I am beyond excited!  Imagine my surprise yesterday on my very first day off of nothingness when I am cleaning the house and walk into the dining room to look up at our light fixture and see.....A BAT!!!

There he was the tiny brown bat, just napping away hanging from my cord cover on the chandelier...My shrieks of fear and running around the house like a mad woman grabbing shoes, keys, and the dog and evacuating did not phase him...

Once the health department arrived, there he still was "hanging around" on the cord cover sound asleep.  They removed him, are testing him for rabies (he's been euthanized), and then will inform me if we have to go through rabies vaccinations or not (oh, joy!).  Fingers crossed he was negative!!!

Then it was on to the "how the heck did he get in?" question.  This company came out (b/c our sucky bug guys don't handle bat issues) and said it would cost $1500 to "bat proof" the house?!?!?!  Do I look stupid or like I was born yesterday...DON'T THINK SO, HON!  I sent him packing and called who else, my daddy!

Hubby understood that this was an issue only daddy can handle!  Up he went to the roof to the chimney area, where low and behold, we had a hole which little bat went into and down the chimney, into the living room, and to his roost on the dining room chandelier. 

Whew...bat crisis averted thus far...Thanks of course to my Best-Super-Dad-Ever...Love you Superman Dad!

"Black Wednesday" Shopping

So mom and I decided that we were in no way venturing out on "Black Friday" this year, but that instead we would be having our own "Black Wednesday".  Well, it worked out great!  NO lines at Target and a pretty short one at Honey Baked Ham today!  I also got my Starbucks Caramel Brulee Latte (my current obsession!) with NO other cars in line!  SCORE!!

Target has the cutest satin pajamas that I am obsessed with as well....I have three of the four prints, and let me tell you, nothing sleeps better than slippery soft satin PJs! ;)  The prints are super cute...blue polka dot, black and white cheetah leopard print, red, and purple. 

I also got successful finding hubby's Christmas present early this year!!  He is of course getting a special ornament, which he gets from me every year now.  The tradition started when that was all we could afford one Christmas, a special ornament from me to him that signified something important to us...Last year was a glass concrete mixer truck ornament (we have a concrete company, Oconee Concrete), and this year is pretty cute if I may say so myself...will post pics after Christmas!!

AND...they have electric razors on sale now at Target...so I snapped one of those up as well for hubby! :)

Happy Shopping and Happy Thanksgiving!
