I just LOVE Friend Makin' Mondays! It's so fun getting to know everyone, and meeting wonderful new bloggy friends! If you want to join the fun go visit Kasey to read the rules and link up!

This week's task is Daydreamin'


If you had $1000 dollars, and a baby sitter for a period of 24 hours what would you do?

Well, my 24 hours would start in the early evening. Hubby and I would head Downtown and have a scrumptious early dinner. Then we would go on a horse drawn carriage ride through the city. Then, depending on the season we would go to one of the city's entertainment offerings. It could be a play, or the ballet. Maybe a concert or an NBA game - I love them all!

We would then check into a nice hotel and order room service dessert, OR if nothing on the room service menu appealed, Hubby would be a dear and go get us some Cheesecake Factory to go! Okay, he'd only get it for me, because he hates cheesecake (I know, I know. Believe me - I would totally have run the other way if I knew this BEFORE we tied the knot!!). He'd have to get something from the hotel.

We'd have the place all to ourselves - the entire night - not something we're used to! We would totally sleep in, because we both love to sleep late, but never get the chance! We'd go to a lovely late breakfast at...hold your breath - Village Inn. Okay not the swankiest place in town but I LOVE their eggs benedict, and Hubby loves the country skillet.

Oh, BTW, bright and early on this morning, there would be a couple of these guys showing up at our house:

I know, this is supposed to be our fantasy, but believe me - it is my ultimate DREAM to have new carpet. Seriously girls, THISis the color of my carpet. I'm sorry to anyone who has carpet this color and actually likes it - but I have hated it since the day we bought the place! There just always seems to be something more important to spend our money on.

Okay, back to us. After breakfast I want to go shoe shopping. Upon hearing this Hubby quickly comes up with a reason that he must depart. So I call one of my many trusty girlfriends. Okay, I only have 2 that actually hang out with me - so maybe I call them both. Thankfully both Kimberlee and Tanielle love shoes as much as I do! We have a blissful afternoon of shoe shopping, and I snag these:
As the day winds down I decide I can't have had all this fun without spreadin' the love, so I make time in my blissful 24 hours to pick up some thoughtful gifts for my 4 kiddos! Then, just before my time is up, I go home to my beautiful new carpet and peacefully empty house (my kids are being babysat AWAY from home - and Hubby is still off doing whatever he did to get out of shopping), and have just the right amount of time left to do some quiet, uninterrupted blogging!!


Pictures of Me!

So everyone has been asking "Why don't you have a picture of yourself on your blog? We want to see what you look like."

Okay, no one has asked me that. I like to pretend you're all really interested though. So here I am:


What's that you say? You think I just photoshopped my chubby face onto Jessica Alba's rockin' body? What. Ever. You're just jealous that they've asked me to be her body double in Into The Blue 2.


Here's a picture of me talking on the phone:



Who am I talking to? Well of course it's my yummy boyfriend - Michael Weatherly.



Don't we make a SWEET couple?


Okay, confession time...who else is waiting to put their own picture on their blog until they've dropped a few pounds?
