Friday Randoms

It's FINALLY Friday, ya'll!! Can I please stop right here and express how much it stresses me out that spell check says "ya'll" is not a word...I BEG TO DIFFER!!!

Moving on. This has been a VERY long week for me. I've been experiencing this mixture of fatigue and boredom. It's like I'm too tired to do anything, but bored when I don't...weird! Anyway, that's why I love this poster's motivation.

I have been running hard core lately and I love it!! I like this new perspective on sweat too.

One time when I was in a pageant, the motivational speaker said we weren't sweating we were glistening...yeah right!

Oh, before we continue in our Friday randoms, all of the pictures on here today are courtesy of pinterest.



I thought this pearl ornament was a cute gift idea. It's perfect for the Southern Belle in your life.

I mean it encompasses pearls, bows, and pink. I can't think of a better example of true Southern artistry.



Speaking of Southern Belles, I thought this saying should become my new life motto...haha!



It would come in handy on days when my two year old breaks Christmas ornaments and knocks over crystal bowls...just sayin'!



This next pictures is completely random and so totally NOT my style....but it's crazy. I mean I literally get a headache looking at it. Sorry if you have the same results.



I know in my mind that it's fishing wire, but my eyes just can't believe it. It's sorta like an adult version of Santa. Real or not real? Hmmm....




While we are talking about Christmas, check out this dress. I ADORE it!! My company Christmas party is this weekend, and if I could find something like this to wear it would bless my heart so much.



Speaking of a "company" party, it reminds me that I'm still at work, and need to actually work...haha! Happy Friday!!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
