Where's Me Gold?

I was really hoping that St. Patrick's Day was going to be tomorrow instead of today. Why you might ask?

Well the Mega Millions jackpot is at a whopping 400 million and if all the stars were aligned maybe just maybe I would get lucky and strike it rich!

Who am I kidding! I'm just lucky the bills are paid and I have everything I need. It would be nice to find that pot of gold though.

So while everyone that is really lucky will be celebrating the holiday, I'll be behind a desk staring out the window wishing that someday I too will be able to take a day off and enjoy life like the rest of the world. Until then, I will reminisce on the weekend that I chose to make the best of.

We took Madison downtown for a walk where the Comic Con, the Big Ten tournament and the St. Patrick's festivities were going on so you could say it was a little busy. There were tons of people dressed up in costumes which made it very interesting. I can say I have never been around so many people dressed as Batman and Spiderman.

While soaking in the one day of warmth and sunshine I did get to take some really good pictures. Every holiday I try to take some family photos and snap updated ones of Madison capturing growth and change.

Are you one of the lucky ones who are off work today? What have you done to celebrate or plan on doing to celebrate?

Dropping A Hint Won't Hurt...Right?!?!?

With Valentine’s Day only ten days away, I thought it was the perfect time to post my Valentine’s Day wish list.

 

 

Maybe you can add the items to your list, give me suggestions of other V-day-worthy goodies, and maybe if I'm lucky, the close people in my life will feel so inclined to check my blog for “research” and order me all a few of the following items. 

If not, I can always send you their emails and you can pass on the hint? Sound like a plan?

A girl can dream, right?

  You know you’re growing up when you want a book and clothing more than anything else on the annual day of love.

Not any particular order....



Body By Victoria-Victoria's Secret-This scent is soft and subtle and a winner in my book.



Bath and Body Works-(any scent, I am grateful for anything that comes from this store)



Sephora gift card-All beauty products in the best brands, need I say more?

 


A girl has to have her chocolate, Dove just happens to be my favorite. Any flavor and I will wear a smile!

Ellen DeGeneres book, I have heard rave reviews and I am eager to start reading!

Hello Merch-Green, medium, absolutely adore this. Looks so comfy. I want.

 


Keurig cups! You can NEVER have too many! Especially with it being absolutely frigid outside!

 


The Dedication Company. Etsy. Go Now. Cutest thing ever! Personalized means even more!

 


OPI nail polish. What girl doesn't love OPI? Or nail polish? I am obsessed. Okay my mother and sister are a little more obsessed but it crossed my path as well.

 


The Orchid is my favorite flower. They smell wonderful and seem to live for awhile. I wouldn't mind seeing a vase full of these in my future.

 


Starbucks gift card. If you haven't noticed my daily battle with spending money at the local coffee shop then you haven't been reading long enough. Carmel Brulee Latte is my weakness, if you would like to contribute to my addiction I will be happy to send you my mailing address :)

VS London Perfume-I picked this bottle up, sprayed it one time and fell in love. It has to be one of my all times faves!
