Aww

Can I tell you guys how amazingly sweet my husband is?

Last night, after a LONG day at work, and an hour long drive back home, I came home to a surprise.

Not only did he make me dinner, but he also bought me some fried green tomatoes! [they're my favorite!]

It really is the little things that count.

You dirty little hamster.

I've been trying to think of things ALL day to blog about. How pathetic is that?
Here is what I came up with.......NOTHING.

So here is a bunch of random stuff, instead.

After months of searching for a job, I finally gave up and got my old job back. Which means I'll be spending half of my week in my home town [an hour away], and the other half of my week here, with my husband. It isn't the most desirable situation, but I'm thankful.

Fall is finally here. I can actually feel it. I played frisbee outside with Kami and DIDN'T break a sweat. I wish it would stay this way forever.

I have been really productive lately--in a crafty kind of way. You guys will get to see it here first. But not quite yet.

Go to Sara's blog and vote on the worst car ever! Trust me, there are some funny ones on there.
While you're there enter her giveaway.

P.S. I miss hearing from all you bloggers who have fallen off the radar.

He's going to kill me

If you've been around here for long enough, you know that my BFF in real life also has a blog.

A lot of you also read and follow his life. I've been thinking about doing this post for a long time, but I could never find the evidence.

Until today.

For those of you who know Mr. O,
meet Ms. O...



Don't worry, he's not a cross dresser. Our high school used to have "Foxy Lady" pageants. I'm not really sure why, but a lot of guys participated.

& No, he did not win.


ANYWAYS..
Today is the last day to sign up for the blogger mail swap. YOU know you wannnnt to.

Tell them that she's not scared

Remember last week when I said that I was going to make myself read at least 30 minutes a day?

Well, it worked. Some days I even got sucked in and read for an hour or two. I actually finished one book and am about 80 pages into another one already.

My new goal is to exercise at least 30 minutes a day. It sounds good, in theory...but don't hold your breath, okay? haha

So far we have 6 people signed up for the Blogger Mail Swap. That's a good start, but it would be more fun with more people. Tell all your friends!

And today, I'll leave you with lyrics that are touching my heart this week:

& I'm twenty three & invincible
Got the world figured out
& the bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gonna be all right
When is everything gonna be all right?

You've got mail

For a while now, I've been trying to come up with something fun to bring all of us blogger friends together.


One day, I checked the mail, and I had NOTHING. I was honestly a little sad about it. It's not that I was expecting anything, and thankfully there weren't any bills in there. But I realized just how excited I get when I have personal mail.
So, it came to me. What if I started a little Blogger Mail Swap?

Once a month you can receive a package from a fellow blogger, and you can send a package, too!
Here are the guidelines:

1. You have to send a package to get a package.
2. You can put anything that you want in the package, but please let the value be less than $10.
3. You don't have to buy anything for this. You can totally make things if you want!
4. Send package by the posted date. [I will send this in an email]
5. You won't know who you are getting a package from until it arrives. That being said, please don't tell the person you are sending a package to.
6. Please read the blog of the person who you're sending the package to. That's kind of the whole point of this, right? Show each other love.
7. For now, this BMS is limited to U.S. only [sorry, ya'll]
8. Have fun with it! I mean, who doesn't LOVE to get mail?!

If you are interested in participating, please send me an email to jaksart[at!]rocketmail.com.
In the email, please include the following:

First&Last Name
Address [so we can send the packages!]
link to your blog
Favorite Colors

Favorite kind of music
Anything else interesting about yourself


Sign up for OCTOBER'S Blogger Mail Swap by September 26th.

That Saturday, I will go through all the emails, and begin pairing bloggers.
I will send everyone who signed up an email with the info listed above of the blogger they are to send a package to that month. Each month you can choose to participate or opt out. If you want to participate, just make sure to sign up by the deadline. If you don't sign up, no worries, you can participate next month. Spread the word! The more the merrier!

Bright Sun Shiny Day

I should be studying for my exit exam, but instead, I am facebooking and blogging.
I just can't help it.
I was working on the study guide for a while on Thursday, and I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack. Seriously, this thing is really stressing me out.

So here I am for a much needed break. I know you're probably ready for me to tell you who the winner is, right? Right.

Here we go..........
The winner issssssssss
Congratulations, Krysten!
I'll be sending you an email this afternoon with some details.

Thanks to everyone who entered my give away! I have some cool things in the works, so keep an eye out for those. Hope you all have a great weekend!!

1. What is the first nightmare you remember?

I always used to have nightmares of people breaking into our house.

Football, I guess. I don't really find sports very interesting, though.

Probably what I call high waisted skirts w/belts.
