I apologize profusely for my lack of posts lately, but I am still here. Work has been terribly insane which is great at making the week days fly by, but the weekends are just twice as busy. I feel like my life is a blur and promise to get back to you all next week. I have 2 posts started and for one I need your help, but more about that next week.
We are off for a long weekend trip with all of my immediate family (my parents, 2 sisters and brother and their families) to a cottage for the weekend. Should be interesting and loads of fun.
Have a great weekend!

1. Mango Salsa with Blue Corn Chips

Music Questions and Would You Rather?
Andrea over at Life In Dawleywood tagged everyone in this fun 'beauty' quiz that she completed and why not. As you might be able to tell, I love random facts and all of sorts of quizzes/questionnaires. Hope you will all play along.
1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and no make-up?
- I would have to choose the nice hair with no make-up. If my hair isn't styled it is limp and stringy and has a million fly aways (not that it's even close to perfect when done), I'd rather go a day sans make-up. I can always pinch my cheeks and wear a cute lip gloss (that doesn't count as make-up I hope?!)
2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
- I have to 100% agree with Andrea - Definitely my lashes falling out. I could always wear fake lashes, but drawn on eyebrows look awful!
3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
- As per many of my previous posts, I wouldn't mind being forced to shop only at MAC for the rest of my life...I'm a MAC addict.
4.Would you rather wear lip gloss/lip liner look or 80's perm?
- I would rather lip gloss/lip liner look than an 80's perm...the 80's were not good to me. Haha!
5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
- Definitely the overdone blush, I can't stand the line...frig!
6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
- Bike shorts HANDS.DOWN.
7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
- Weird tan lines, I have them now...ha!
8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
- Bad hair color...haven't we all had a bad haircut?! It takes forever to grow out and just looks terrible.
9.Would you rather have YouTube or twitter taken away forever?
- YouTube, I'm not really much of a fan
10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
- Makeup brushes for sure, you can always find something else to do the trick.
Join the fun and fill me in on what you would rather...
Just updating my iPod and am looking for any song suggestions you might have. Songs that will get me motivated to get my ass back in gear and shape. What's your favorite work out song?

Damn the Man
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!
I am a pretty random blogger, that, I am aware of. I think the reason being that some days I just have nothing to write about. While I could chat the ear off of a brass monkey, I cannot for the life of me find something interesting to write about. Am I really that dull?!
I don't have anything overly exciting going on right now. The wedding and honeymoon have come and gone and I am happy to be married and happy to relax for the summer. You see, last summer we had a total of 10 weddings/receptions to go to. Yes, you read that right - 10, ten, 1-0, dix. That means that there were showers, stags, bachelor/bachelorette parties (R was in one wedding and I was in another) dress fittings, rehearsals, etc. Needless to say, last summer was unbelievably busy. We were booked solid from mid-April to the last weekend in October with the exception of one weekend. One weekend that we were at home and were able to get things done around our house. We have a list of things that we would like to get done around the house, however, we have not yet set dates and organized anything we might need to get said things accomplished. I was talking to my sisters today about a baby shower that we are planning for a cousin of ours and when trying to decide on a date I realized that we are slowly but surely getting all booked up. We have 1 free weekend in August, the month of September is gone and we are starting to book into October. It is pure craziness! I don't know if or when we will get the work done to the house that we want to do. For the most part what we want to do is purely cosmetic but it's high time that it is started as we have been living in our house for 3 years and have done very little to it.
I guess it's time to make the list in order of things to get done, set dates for each project, buy supplies and get to it. Any suggestions on where to start?
Plans for this weekend include supper at my in-laws this evening, relaxing and doing small things around the house tomorrow and then up for a visit with my parents. There is a golf tournament up home to raise money for Heart and Stroke and some of my friends are playing. While I was asked to participate, I knew it would be ANOTHER day away from home. I will be meeting the girls in the evening tomorrow night I hope so that way I can get stuff done around the house and get my girl time too.
What are your plans for this weekend?
Ohhh, also...our wedding pictures are available. Here is a sneak peak at a few...
Have a great weekend!
