It's Kinda Like The Energizer Bunny

via

Since the middle of last week some not so good things have happened to me.

Incidences at work, a flat tire, replaced two of my tires, set up payment arrangements on my hospital bills leaving me short of cash and what seems like a never ending feeling of depression.

If you haven't noticed, I am the queen of run on sentences. Kinda like the energizer bunny, they just keep going and going.




Most of the time I could write these blog posts without ever taking a breath, who needs periods right? I mean in real life and on paper :) Seriously!

This isn't to sound like I am whining or complaining. This blog is usually pretty positive and happy and to get off track from that wouldn't help.
I know, I can hear you saying it now "Thank God."
So to cheer myself up, add some positivity to my day and to hopefully make you smile over the things I am loving I am linking up with Jamie!

I'm Loving...strawberries, shortcake and white chocolate! The sister in law made these for a birthday party and I couldn't stop eating them! Yum!
 

 

I'm Loving...play dates with the kiddos! Madison having time with her bff Cash was the cutest! I remember being so excited to spend time with friends so seeing her experience it is priceless.

 

I'm Loving...my best friend, Stacy. She is a remarkable, patient and loving school teacher who would do anything for anyone. She is someone I can count on at any given moment and someone who I love and trust. Every time we get together it is a blast! I love having play dates with my bff :)

I'm Loving...Baskin Robbins! I get a scoop of Daiquiri Ice and Jamoca Almond Fudge and Madison gets Cotton Candy. My sister also works there so the discount isn't too shabby either!


And now for my Pinterest loves!

It Begins Within

In the last year or so I have come to realize that happiness begins within. No one can make you feel the joy and love that life has to offer. Life is what you make it. You either wake up in the morning and live with the cards you were dealt and maneuver them in a way that fits you or you shuffle the deck and take another approach. Either way, it is up to you to figure out what you love and what fulfills your heart and soul.

So since we are looking for the positivity in all situations and finding the loves within our lives why not link up with Jamie to share "What I'm Loving Wednesday".

I'm loving...Pedicures with the bestie! Seriously there is nothing better than a date with the bff, having our feet and legs soaked and rubbed and topping it off with a cute pedi on our toes. Hellloooo spring and summer!

I'm loving...Panera Bread! A location near me just opened a drive thru. I might just be there everyday. There is something about broccoli cheese soup, a greek salad and sweet tea with lemon! SCORE!

I'm loving...The love and gratitude expressed for the victims of 4/15/13. This will again be a day we will never forget. We must keep our heads high and spirits higher.

I'm loving...Twitter.

Yes I never thought I would say this but I am starting to like it. I didn't use it before this blog but I am now. For the most part, it seems rather upbeat and positive. I haven't been under a rock. I've heard the negativity also but I tend to stay away from the scene and avoid the drama. What do you like best about Twitter? Speaking of Twitter have you read Whitney's post regarding the spectators of Twitter drama? OMG I died laughing. She's a genius!

Are you on Twitter?

Now for what I'm loving....

I'm Loving....that Madison's aunt Skylar painted her a rocking chair intended for Christmas but finally finished it for Easter. Isn't it the cutest thing? What a keepsake to treasure!

I'm Loving...Coffee and dessert! I could live off the two until the end of time! One bite or drink of each and this girl is happy!

I'm Loving... that Madison received three dollars from the Easter bunny and had a blast spending it at the dollar store. She gave the cashier her three dollars and her quarter, took her bag of toys and got her change. She walked out of the store saying "I just love this place! I give the man money, he give me toys and I get change back!" She also added "I'm totally eating dinner tonight!" Oh the little things that make my day!

I'm Loving...that our vacation is only one month away!!! Myrtle Beach here we come!

I'm Loving...that I received all of my pictures back for Madison's upcoming birthday and they are absolutely breathtaking!

And now for my Pinterest loves....
