Proud to be an American

Wake Up America!!! While you may not believe in the war, believe in those who are sacrificing themselves for your freedom! Support our Troops and honor them whenever you can. We would like to thank our Active Military, Veterans, our Fallen Soldiers and their families for their dedication, courage and sacrifice. Thank You. We remember now, and we will never forget.


Sara and I love America, and celebrating everything that is great about America. And even in these sometimes troubling times, we still need to remember there are a LOT of great things about getting to live in this country. We are so lucky.

So especially today, but every day we are SO grateful for everyone both active military and our veterans as well as their loved ones who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. So thank you! Show our military there are still plenty of people who appreciate their service and sacrifice.







Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Bags

I finally made my own bags game. Well by me, I really mean my boyfriend! My job is to decide what to paint on them. Any ideas?!?
I was thinking maybe something with the American flag. Or the standard team logo. Just can't decide!!

“We made a deal ages ago. Men, babies, it doesn't matter. We're soulmates.” - Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Sex and the City 2

LOVE this quote by Samantha from the new Sex and the City! Isn't this the kind of friendship that we would all love to have and keep for our whole lives?! As you can probably tell, I have a huge focus on my husband and family, but I also try really hard to keep my girlfriends a major priority because they are such an important relationship and support system to maintain.

Going to see this movie this weekend with one of my bridesmaids who is coming in to town and staying with us for the weekend, and we are pumped!

Hope all of you lovelies are having a great week!

I try not to be a Debbie Downer...but mabye just for .5

Have you felt lately that the dark circles under your eyes now have their own dark circles? Or that exhausted and stressed out is just the hot new look for 2010? I don't sleep, feel like I am going to vomit all the time, and am now scratching my legs so hard that the skin is coming off and scabbing everywhere (stress enduced exima the doc says). It's bad, and I am just waiting for a break!

So in honor of trying to relax and enjoy, here are some of my go-to fav's that always seem to help:


I know I am a total nerd for saying this, but I love the Sim's (have for years)! I love decorating their houses and running their lives! So much fun :)


Chuck! Such a great show, hope they don't cancel!


Punta Cana All Inclusive Resorts= Heaven on Earth!!!


Anyone see NCIS this week?! Obsessed and can't wait for the next one. Not so much into L.A., but love the normal one!!!


So a combo of some of these things (and others) and of course my wonderful family and friends are what makes all of the crazy worthwhile :)

What are your go-to fav's?

Barefoot in Summer

My current favorite wine...




Barefoot Sauvignon is full of the flavors of ripe summer fruit. Sweet notes of honeydew melon, juicy nectarine and white pear. Perfect for summer! But really I love a good white wine (try any of the 6 different choices of whites from Barefoot.) Oh and it always comes with an amazing price tag!!

Today's Annoying Story

Today while I was driving back to work I saw a "homeless" man doing something behind his cardboard sign. I crept up and low and behold, he was typing on his touch screen cell phone. I am a social worker in the Twin Cities and want to express my frustration about beggars. DON'T give them money, food, ect. I have clients who beg on street corners who make more than I do in a year. Follow a beggar home one night and see where they go... to their car parked a couple streets down! When you see someone begging, drop them off an application for MaDonald's (or a local place you know is hiring.)

Now I know there are some unfortunate situations, especially with the economy how it is today. But for the most part, the beggars you see don't need your money. To keep them off the corners, roll your windows up and keep them up.



If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cellphone?
And if he is homeless, where do they send the cellphone bills?

I'm so in love...

My foster dog:



I still have Steve, my Italian Grey Hound. He is awesome...
2 months ago he was afraid of EVERYTHING, I mean leaves, wind, noise, ect. But now he is great. He is only really afraid of new people. He is warming up to dogs and loves to wrestle and play. He is 95% potty trained which just shows how smart he is! He is a little diva and I love it. I keep contiplating adoption... I just don't think I can do the committment. Ask Kel, I fear committment! But he will make a great pet. They had some interested people but I didn't think they were quite right (and no I wasn't sabbatoging them haha) but we'll find his perfect forever home soon!
