1. I finally found a wine that I like!  I don’t like the bitter, dry ones so I was on a quest for a sweet wine.  The wine I like?  Moscato Puglia.  It’s sweet and doesn’t give me a headache the next morning!  Loveeee it!
2. The battery in my scale died this week, so that’s why you didn’t see a Weigh-In Wednesday post.  I hope to resolve this issue this weekend!
3. The next few weeks I’m going to be in Survival Mode.  Midterms, papers, presentations, and more yucky homework stuff.  Thus, the reason why I was searching for a good wine!  Usually I run/exercise as a stress relief, but my time has been seriously diminished.  I know everyone says they don’t have time, but seriously – I have no time!    I have a 5k coming up next Saturday, too!

Best.Movie.Ever.

It was such a good movie – I got sad, happy, mad, almost cried…all while looking at this hunk:

Overall, a great weekend!

So, I can’t help but notice that nobody commented on my new love – Scentsy! I’m just going to pretend that my feelings aren’t hurt and that y’all still love me and will buy tons of scents from me… Okay?

I used to be a candles and plug-ins type of girl…until I left a candle burning over night on accident and woke up the next morning to find it still going and LUCKILY the house still standing.  And those plug-in things, well when you buy as many as I do, it starts to add up!  LOL  So, I switched to Scentsy and here I am today! 

So, if y’all want to know more about their products or want to order something, then email me or visit my website.  Who wants to be my first customer?!?!

Beginning Weight:  148 pounds
Week 1:  146.4 pounds
Week 2:  145 pounds
Week 3:  145 pounds

Honestly, I’m just happy that I maintained this past week.  It’s no secret that I’m a stress eater and that I’m in grad school.  Which is, to say the least, very stressful.  Plus, because of school, I don’t have a whole lot of free time to go to the gym.  So to be totally honest, I’ve been going to the gym maybe twice or three times a week at the most.  And, although I’ve been trying to eat right, there are days where I go into a binge on everything bad because I’m overwhelmed with school.  So, yes, I’m VERY happy with maintaining this week. LOL

Now, I will say that this next week should be better because I’ve got some time carved out to do homework already and time carved out to go to the gym.  So hopefully that will help with my stress eating and gym going!  I really, really want to be at my  happy weight before short and swim suit season.  Plus, I just feel better at my happy weight!

The last few months Hank’s Furniture has been calling my husband – I didn’t know this – and telling him that our end table is at the store and ready for us.  Well, we already have our end tables, so hubs would either not call them back or would tell them that they were wrong.  Yesterday they called again.  This was the first time I had heard about it.  So when he told me what was going on, I looked at him and said, “Wait, did we order 2 or 3 end tables?”  We couldn’t remember.  We had went back and forth at the store on how many we wanted, but that was so long ago that we couldn’t remember what our final answer was.

So, I started looking for the receipt, which I couldn’t find.  So he called Hank’s back and asked them to look at our receipt and tell us if we ordered 2 or 3. 

They just called back.  Apparently, we ordered 3!  How in the world did we go all this time and not know that we were missing an end table?!  LOL  I know that week was very hectic, when we were ordering furniture and appliances, but I mean really…how did we spend so much money and not get everything we bought?! HA! 

So, I’ll be going to Hank’s this week and getting our long lost end table!  Now knowing that we have another end table, I’m kind of excited to use it!

Marathon Medal. This is not me.

Wow, right?  I’ll be running the 5k with my neice.   It gets a medal, too…just not that big!

It’s snowing here right now.  We never ever get snow.  Yippie!  Too bad I’m working today…and it probably wont stick.

We went to the Razorback Basketball game this weekend.  We beat S.Carolina.  It was SO much fun!  We even got to see the ”40 Minutes of Hell” that ESPN produced.  Nolan Richardson, Scotty Thurman, and a lot of other former players were there.  It was really cool.

Yesterday we took our dogs on a 3 mile walk around the neighborhood. We found a lot of new paths to go on and I think the dogs really enjoyed it, too!

11 Random Facts About Me:

• When I don’t get enough sleep I become a cranky and hungry monster.  I’d like to think this is normal, but my husband disagrees. 
• I don’t wear heels, ever.  I don’t even own heels actually.  I own one pair of wedges and it’s a struggle to walk in those (and they’re low!).  I would actually love to be one of those girls who could pull off heels, from time to time.
• Speaking of fashion, I’m a jeans and tshirt kind of girl.  Seriously.  Although I’d love to look cute, it’s just not in me to put an actual outfit together. 
• I have a rubber ducky and a bobble-head turtle sitting on my desk.  They’ve been taking up residence here for about 3 years.  They remind me of our trip to Branson a few years back.
• I hate making appointments for things.  I’m not sure why, but it just bothers me.  Make an appointment for a haircut?  Ugh. 
• When I’m stressed, I turn to food.  Chocolate, mexican food, Chickfila…mmmm.
• I love writing with stolen hotel ink pens.  Yep, I’m the girl who takes the ink pens!  They write the best for me and I like looking down and seeing a reminder of a trip we took.
• I love to pin recipes on Pinterest.  I’ve made two of them so far and although I haven’t been over-the-moon impressed, they’ve been good.
• Post-it Notes make me happy.  When the hubs goes to Staples, I ask for cute post-it notes. 
• I had a ton of pen pals growing up.  Dozens.  I loved having pen pals.  Now?  I guess kids just stalk people on FB.
• I drink Diet V8 Splash in the mornings and before class.  I’ve tricked myself into thinking it gives me more energy because of the 8% fruit juice.  LOL  I know better; I just like the taste.

11 Questions from ChicRunner

• What’s your favorite article of clothing?  Hands down: jeans and a long sleeve tshirt. 
• Morning person or night owl?  I’m more of a morning person than night owl.  I was the exact opposite in college.  But now I can’t make it past 10pm and by that time I’m cranky.
• How many glasses of water do you drink a day?  Usually around 40-60 ounces.  Not enough, I know.
• What is your biggest fear?  That I’ll end up divorced for a 2nd time OR that hubs or I will lose our jobs.  How’s that for being real?!
• Starbucks or Coffee Bean?  Starbucks, because I have no idea what Coffee Bean is!
• What was the best gift you’ve ever gotten?  Hmm.  This might sound bad, but my iPad.  It’s given both myself and hubs hours of enjoyment and it’s so much easier/quicker getting online with that than bootin’ up the laptop at home.
• What is your favorite color?  Blue.  Always has been.
• Would you rather get a phone call every hour  from a stranger or not have a cell phone for a year?  If the phone call from a stranger for every hour only lasts 24 hours, then definitely the stranger.
• MLB or NBA?  NBA.  I don’t understand the rules of Baseball.
• Do you use a daily planner?  Heck yeah!  The old school paper kind too.  No electronic planner for this girl.
• What’s one thing on your ‘bucket list?’  Donate to Locks of Love. I’m working on that one right now.

Not too bad considering I ate a few billion chocolate chip cookies and brownies! Otherwise, I did really well. I’m gonna blame “that time” for all the chocolate.

Now I need to really focus!!!  No excuses!
