talented tuesday!

hello bloggies! hello snow.
yep.
about 4 more inches this morning.
and
the
part that really pissed me off.....

i let the boy park both his regular car and work car in the garage last night,
so, when i went to leave this morning and opened the gargage and realized i
had to literally shovel mounds
of snow off the car, i was not a happy camper.

i still am mad. do you ever have a morning when you feel disheveled.
like your day
starts
out

before
it
even
really starts?

OYE!

thursday!!

happy february 3!

can you believe that it is feb already?? i can NOT!

wheewww. time flies. which is a good thing. we are one day closer to lavender, butterflies and daisies!


 
and these......oh how i adore my gerbera daisies!

i love the change of seasons, i really do. i do LOVE summer time best.
i love the beach.

or the inflatible slide....lol...(honestly, i have never been down it...it's at the ex's house)



i love the HOT SUN!
i love being able to run outside.
i love dining al fresco.
i love grilling.
i love sitting outside reading a good book!

(i just bought this at the thrift store last week...cant wait to start it!)
what do you look forward to doing in the summer time?

( i know it's months away.....but cant we just get a little excited about it?)

soooo,  day 8 of our blog land challenge:

a moment you felt most satisfied with your life.

well, you read about my personality yesterday. soooooo, you know that i am always
searching, always looking, always making something.....
us geminis are busy creatures......
soooo, when asking about life satisfaction it is very difficult to pin point.

i have had a lot of emotional upset this past year.
i moved out.
sort of moved back in.
lost my dear, sweet loving sister.
started a second job.
all the while trying to maintain my first job, be a good parent and just function without losing it.

literally.

the point i am trying to make is that i have NEVER felt completely satisfied with my life.
i always feel that there is more out there. more to discover. more things to do.
more. more. more.

however here are the things that make me happy:

my children.
"the boy" i hope to marry one day........SOON.
cooking.
baking.
crafting.
working out.
eating healthy.
pleasing others.

all of these things together bring me mucho satisfaction. i love when they all tie in together.
that's when i smile the biggest and when i am most satisfied with my life!

i am going to link up with these lovelies for buzz on by thursday!!




Emmy's Closet





stop over and visit the blog hop! they even have a giveaway! yay!!
happy thursday!
love you.
bye.

gemini....candy hearts..... & another blog challenge!

hi! happy white snow!

well, we got slammed yet again.
is it spring yet?
not.
kidding.

i am hating winter.

again: PUHHHLEEZE mr. winter:
you.
can.
stop.
anytime.
NOW!

thank you.

kk, onto goodies:
blog challenge day 7: 
my zodiac sign and do i think it fits my personality!

GEMINI.
yes.

when i have read the 'description' it totally fits me.
however, i just heard somewhere that the 'earth' is mis-aligned and all zodiac signs are changing???
um, really?
so now it states i am a taurus.
sorry~not buying that.
what happens when the earth/sun/moon realign??
do we have to go back to the original sign?

negative. i am a gemini. always will be.

GEMINI:
Geminis are active in the extreme. They love a joke and enjoy silliness. Ordinarily, Geminis want to be smack in the center of all the folly there is to be had. Geminis are always at home performing skits or dancing on the tables or recounting their latest monologue. Born actors and actresses, Geminis may not always invent their own stories, but they sure know how to tell them.
i love being the center of attention. just sayin.....
we are honest here, right?!?

What every Gemini needs is a strong-minded parent or mate to literally force him to complete projects before going on to other ones.


i tend to tackle 379 projects at once.....um, yeah....
sometimes finishing.....like 3!


As the Gemini is usually attractive and exudes a special form of magnetism, he is not infrequently drawn to politics. Emotionally, too, Gemini is a performer. On certain mornings he is a moody Hamlet and by afternoon he's an optimist. Whatever he does, he's bound to be the star of the show..

i once ran for class president in 6th grade. i lost.
i guess,  i learned early that i HATE politics......


Because they are so adaptable, Geminis are extremely versatile. They can excel at almost any career as long as it offers a chance to perform- anything from a top drawer brain surgeon to an operatic garbage man.
this is what i love most.....i CAN adapt to any situation
and people for that matter.
i chose nursing as my career, which has truly
allowed me a lot of different opportunities!


want to know more fun stuff about me??? just ask! my life is an open book!
 
i found this amazing challenge over at
which originally started here,
 
do you have what it takes to do this? i was thinking about it......but because i am in between
homes, i dont have full access to my closet right now.....
 
so on that note, i leave you with this fun pic:
 

doesnt it scream LOVE?

are you celebrating v-day?
what are your thoughts?
hallmark holiday? cupids extra special day?
dumb?
fun?

just wonderin....
