Day Twenty
Meaning behind your blog name.

Note: I already did a post like this on the last blog challenge I participated in.
So I just copied and pasted from the old posting to this posting. Sorry for being lazy.

Blogg5-4

Sadly, there is really no special meaning behind
 my blog name - but here is where I go the idea...

You remember that time a few years ago when Facebook
"Pieces of Flair" was cool? Ok, maybe not cool but a fun
way to pass the time when you were seriously bored??
Anyone? No? Just me?
Oh.

Anyway, here is a piece of flair that was my favorite:

ha ha. wait. what?

This made me laugh.

Anyway, that is where I came up with my blog name.

30DBC: Day 17


30dbc

So I know I have mentioned before that I don't have recent family pictures. 
My family isn't really into group pictures. So here is one from August 1995. 


PS. Please don't judge me for my high-waist
jeans and my tucked in shirt. It was the mid-90's!!!


Oh, to be that skinny again!!  [sigh]

Wee Bit Wednesday's





 
 
{one}
what's your guilty
pleasure tv show?
Dexter.
I'm ashamed to admit I love that show.
Please don't judge me.
 
 
{two}
ear piercings on men: yes or no?
Not so much a fan.

No. I don't even know what comcast is.
I have Time Warner Cable.
 
 
{four}
what's your favorite
current fashion trend?
Uh, I sadly do not keep up with fashion trends.
 
 
{five}
if you could learn to do
anything, money not being
an issue, what would it be?
I don't think I could narrow it down to just one thing.
I would love to learn how to play the guitar, learn how to
sew, learn how to shoot pictures in manual mode on my
fancy-schmancy camera, learn how to train my dog, learn
how to speak french & take horseback riding lessons.
 
 
{six}
red or white wine?
Neither.
 
 
{seven}
what type of food

Italian, but Mexican is a close second!
 
 
{eight}
hp or mac?
I currently have a HP but I
desperately want to upgrade to a Mac.
 
 
{nine}
what color is your bedroom?
Unfortunately, a light brown.
I am currently renting a house and I don't want to waste
money on painting my bedroom a different color when
I will just have to paint it back before I move out.
 
 
{ten}
what's your favorite
form of exercise?
Hiking.

I confess...
That yesterday was my first time
to try a Gyro and I love love loved it!!

30DBC: Day 11


30DBC: Day 11

As you can see, I don't spend a lot of money on makeup.
80% of the items above were given to me by my cousin who
worked in the makeup department at our local grocery store.

I actually just recently stopped wearing makeup every day to work.
The only time I wear makeup is when I am going out on the weekends.

The end.

Friday Confessional




Photobucket
 
 
I confess...
That it has been a rough past couple of days due to my blasted
allergies, which I'm pretty sure has turned into a sinus infection.
(We won't go into the coloring of my snot. You're welcome.)
 
 
I confess...
That I am super excited to see The Help tonight!!
I read the book last year and was so excited to hear that
a movie was being made. I was even more excited to hear
that Emma Stone was playing the main character. I adore her!!
 
 
I confess...
That I get super addicted to TV. Seriously addicted.
Just started watching Rookie Blue two weeks ago and now I
have watched the entire first and second season. It is so good!
 
 
I confess...
That I have had zero energy and no desire to workout
all week. Could be due to the blasted allergies I
mentioned before. I feel so run down... Bleh.
 
 
I confess...
That I am super excited to sleep in my own
bed tonight and snuggle with Romey.
(I've been petsitting the past two weeks.)
 
 
I confess...
That I'm finding it hard to stay awake at my desk right now.
 
 
I confess...
That I am sad I still have three hours left of work.
 
 
I confess...
That I'm so glad it's Friday!!
 
 
The end.

Oh, Happy Day!


Pictures2-3

I am so happy this weeks is finally over!!

I am so happy that I get to go to dinner and a
movie with six of my amazing friends!! We are
going to see The Help and I'm so excited!!!

I am so happy that we finally get to have our huge
family garage sale tomorrow. I'm putting the money
I make in savings for my cruise trip in October.

I am so happy that the person I have been petsitting
for has just added another week in September. This
will now give me a total of $500 in two months.

I am so happy that I finally got all of my filing done today 
at work. I do my filing once a month but the past two
months I had procrastinated so it gave me double the
amount of filing. But now it's over with and I don't
have to do it again until the first week of September.

I am so happy that Rookie Blue is coming back next
summer for a third season. I recently just got into this
show and watched the first and second season. I was
a little worried that the show got cancelled because it only
had 8 episodes in the second season but I just googled it
and saw that it was picked up for a third season. Yay!!

I am so happy today is Friday!!

Hope you guys have a blessed weekend!!

What are you happy about today?
