Saturday Sensationals

It's Saturday!! Woot Woot!!
And guess what!? I'm posting my Saturday Sensationals on the correct day! Look at me, being all on time and productive!
OK, let's get down to it, shall we?
I love Megan's Ten Rules to Live By
Did you believe anything silly when you were a kid?
Who needs new loves when you have old loves?
I am completely, utterly, totally, head over heels in love with this blog
This is freaking adorable.
And this is just weird.
Look, I found Popeye!
Why don't you brush up on your knowledge of bar glasses?
Then teach yourself how to properly drink wine?
And finish the day off with a delicious Grapefruit Margarita!
I hope your Saturday is downright magnificent, even if your plans are to lay around all day! Cheers to the weekend, my dears!

TGIF, y'all! How has your week been? Hopefully wonderful!

I'm so flattered that the always lovely Kourt tagged me in her eleven questions post yesterday! (BTW, if you aren't following Kourt's blog, you should be. She's also on twitter. Holler atcha girl.

So, here are the rules:

•You must post the rules.
•Answer the 11 questions that the tagger posted for you; then create 11 questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
•Tag 11 people and link them in your post.
•Let them know you have tagged them

And these are my questions:

1. What is your favorite song and why?

Hmmm, favorite song. Currently I'm digging "Boys from the South" by Pistol Annies.

2. Favorite past time?

Definitely a tie between spending time with my family and spending time with my horse.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?

I've always said I'd love to live in New York or Paris, but truth be told, I wouldn't leave Texas. Texas is home, it's in my blood, and nowhere else would feel right.

4. How many children do you want to have [if none already]? If you have children, how many and do you plan for more?

I'm sure y'all already know that I have a daughter, M, right? Ok, just checking. Anyway, we only have one *human* child, and that's pretty much all I want. The Hubs would like to have another child, but I like just having M. I can spoil her as much as I want and give her all of my love and attention. So, I'm pretty much betting that we're finished!



5. Name 2 of your favorite movies.

8 Seconds and Steel Magnolias

6. Have you ever done anything crazy to your hair? A weird color, bad cut?

I've never intentionally done anything crazy with my hair, but I have had my share of bad cuts! Many that have resulted in me ugly crying all the way home from the salon.

7. What is your favorite restaurant?

Honestly, there are too many to list. It all depends on what type of food we're talking about, and whether we're talking about a small town restaurant, or a big city joint. But, I will say that I loooove this little whole in the wall place called The Texas Star Cafe in New Ulm, Texas. That would probably be my last meal if I could choose!

8. Embarrassing moment?

Oh my, I've had many of those! I tend to be pretty clumsy, so I fall down a lot. Making a fool of myself is something I do well. Need proof? Here ya go.

9. Are you a morning person, or an afternoon/evening person?

I love mornings, as long as I can relax and not be rushed, but, if I had to choose, I would pick evenings over mornings any day. Evenings are my time. My time with the tv, my time with the internets, my time to do whatever I want. Evenings are where it's at.

10. Favorite scent?

Leather and the scent of a horse. Yes, I'm totally serious.

11. Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

I'm an all-over-the-place, stretch-out-as-much-as-possible, wrapped-around-the-dogs sleeper. The Hubs works nights, so most of the time it's me and our doxie, Corona, and our Blue Heeler, Dixie, in our king size bed. Now, listen, a kind size bed sounds like it's enough for all of us, but it's really not. Mainly because they have to be as close to you as physically possible. Almost on top of you. We may as well be sleeping in a twin bed.

Alright, here are the girls that I'm tagging,

Holly at A Cajun Belle

Brittany at Less Britt & More Life

Vicki at My Vickilicious Life

Amber at glitter and dirt

Celia at ...just trying to find my way

Holly at Precisely Holly

And here are my questions:

1.) If you could have any career, what would it be?

2.) What is your idea of the perfect weekend?

3.) What's your favorite holiday, and why?

4.) What is your favorite thing about the town you live in?

5.) What did you want to be when you grew up?

6.) Who was your junior high crush?

7.) What actress would play you if your life was made into a movie?

8.) Where is the one place you must visit before you die?

9.) Toilet paper: over or under? Plead your case.

10.)  What's better, a quiet night in, or a wild night out?

11.) What is one thing you cannot go a day without?

I think I'm supposed to answer my questions, but this post is far too long as it is. If you're curious about any of my answers, just holler at me!

Hope y'all have fabulous weekends! Happy Friday, my darlings!

 

What Should I Do?

We all have those friends. The ones who we're stuck like glue with in grade school, and high school, but once you're both out in the real world, you grow apart.
You try to keep in touch via emails, phone calls, texting, sometimes even snail mail. But eventually you fall victim to your new adult life, and time goes by and you don't speak anymore. Then, one day you run into your old friend somewhere, and you catch up for a minute, and then part ways promising to "get together soon". And most of the time, that "soon" never comes.
 The reason for this post is that I have a dilemma. I have a one of these "friends", someone who I was so close with growing up, but we have since parted ways. Now, here's my dilemma. She is recently engaged, and has not only invited The Hubs and I to the engagement party, the bridal shower, and wedding, but she has asked if M can be a flower girl. And I'm torn. I mean, I'm so very, very happy for her, and I wish her a very long and happy life, but I'm just not sure I want to attend the wedding, and I'm definitely not sure about M being in the bridal party.
Here's the thing, if we go for years without talking, aside from the occasional facebook comment here and there, why do you suddenly want me to attend every wedding related party, and have my child be a part of the ceremony? 
Now, listen, I'm really not trying to be rude. I'm just saying that it's almost like inviting a very distant cousin to your wedding, because we no longer know anything about each other. We've both grown, and changed. And I know that some could argue that she would like to be friends again, but, if that were the case, wouldn't she have reached out sooner? Wouldn't she have come to M's first birthday party? She was invited, after all!

Anyway, I just don't know what to do. We received the invitation to the engagement party, and I'm supposed to RSVP soon, but I just don't know what to say. So obviously the right thing to do is to ask you, my darling readers! What would you do if you were in my shoes? Suck it up and attend all of the festivities? Just attend the wedding? Let M be their flower girl? Tell me what to do!! Because obviously y'all should be the ones to make all of my life decisions, right?

Monday's Mantra

I hope all of you are absolutely ridiculous today. Happy Monday, my loves!

Satur,...Err, Sunday Sensationals

A day late and a dollar short. Story of my life.
Anytardy, I haven't written a Saturday Sensationals post in a couple of weeks, and I've hated myself for it. So, here's my Saturday Sensationals, on Sunday.
M looooves play-doh, so I'm certain we'll be making this Rainbow Glitter Play-Doh very soon.
I need this card for The Hubs. Cause he's foxy.
Fabulous fireflies, FTW!
Tom Hussey's Reflection series breaks my heart.
I love this relationship tip from A Cup of Jo. (And the When a Man Loves a Woman clip at the end!)
Hey, F**k Your Noguchi Coffee Table
Which is better, Paris or New York?
And lastly, a cabin in a Brooklyn loft.
Happy Sunday, my darlings, I hope your weekend has been magnificent!
