Getting To Know Me…

well, there is a linky party over at The Idea Room that I decided to take part in. So here are some fun little facts about moi.

• I’m super scared of the dark. so scared, in fact, that when taylor turns out all of the lights, he has to hold my hand as we walk back to the bedroom, or else I freeze in place.
  
• I never went through a girly phase when I was a kid. most of my friends growing up were boys, and it wasn’t until I had my baby 4 months ago that I actually started to like pink, ruffly things.
  
• I never wanted to be a mom. now, I can’t imagine not having my little bear.
  
• same with being a military wife. I always swore that I would rather be single than be a military wife. now, I’m so much more than that: I’m a marine wife, and I could not be more proud.
  
• my husband and I were set up on a blind date. sort of. I had a class with his roommate davie, and davie invited me over one night (to meet taylor, but it wasn’t a “date”). Best thing that ever happened to me.

 

• I have a little boy, but I love making things for little girls. I have a problem.
  
• I love reading. I just have next to no time to do so.
  
• I love looking at clothes online and imagining what I would wear with them. it’s a problem.
  
• I spoil my husband. I buy him everything he wants, but when he spends money on me, I get mad.
  
• before I met my father-in-law, I knew absolutely nothing about football. in fact, it bored me. now, I can be found during the college football season rocking my south carolina gamecocks gear and screaming at the t.v. that garcia needs to not be so stupid.
  
• I love harry potter. nuff said.
  
• I love making lists. to-do lists, goal lists, menus, shopping lists, etc. too bad I have to have eighty four red bulls in me to complete these lists.
  
• I have seen every episode of “gilmore girls”.
  
• I love coffee. my preferred coffee of choice is a soy caramel Frappuccino with no whipped cream. extra extra caramel.
  
• I pronounce caramel “care-uh-mel.”. 

ciao for now!

Someone Is Spoiled...

And that someone is the husband. Basically, anything he wants, I let him get. I'm too nice.

For Christmas, he got a Halo Reach edition Xbox 360, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Dead Space, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, two new books, a new hat, some stickers for his car, and about $500 dollars worth of new clothes. Yup. He is spoiled. :D

But I guess I'm spoiled, too. He got me the first four Ultimate Editions of the Harry Potter movies, and a new necklace.

See? It's absolutely the one I wanted, too. Apparently, he got it for me before I even showed him it. That's how well he knows me. My man sure is amazing. :D

We have already done the Christmas gift exchange, since we are not sure if he will be home (his C.O. is trying to extend his R.A.), and it wasn't even a traditional "sit down as a family and pass the gifts around" type thing. Basically, when we decided to give them, we gave them. So it's been spread out over the last three weeks.

Little Bear even has most of his presents, but there are some that I won't let him have till Christmas, cuz I do want him to be able to open something (yeah, he is only 4 months, but I don't care. Ha).

Taylor and Matheson sure have bonded. I'm so happy. I was honestly worried, but I don't know why. They are so adorable together:

I love my Devil Dogs....

I'm such a sap. Lol.

Well, I'm off.

Ciao for now!!

Blah Blah Blah...I Suck...

So I think I may be the only person in the world who is not at the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tonight. Because I told Taylor that I would wait for him to come home next week. Because I'm such an amazing wife.

Why did I tell him that??????????

I am contemplating convincing my father-in-law to go with me, then go again when Taylor gets home. Is that bad? I don't think it's bad, and I'm sure Taylor would understand. I'm OBSESSED with Harry Potter. And, I think Taylor would prefer it if I went and pointed out all the things that are wrong with the movie without him there.

Anywho...

My list has shrunk again. :]

   1. Finish putting Matheson's clothes away.
   2. Clean the room and vacuum.
   3. Finish washing/drying the laundry.
   4. Fold aforementioned laundry.
   5. Finish 5 4 3 tutus for my nieces and 3 stuffed owls name boards for my nephews.
   6. Make 4 family gifts for my brothers/sisters.    
   7. Make a name plaque each for my 2 little sisters.
   8. Make 3 stuffed fishies each for my little brothers. (I made name canvases instead. So much easier.)
   9. Wash my bedding and then make my bed.
  10. Call in refills for my prescriptions.
  11. Find some good recipes for Thanksgiving (it's my first time co-chairing the cooking committee; my father-in-law is the other co.).
  12. Talk my step-mom into giving me her fudge recipe.
  13. Decide what stuff Tay gets to have when he comes home; hide the rest of the stuff for Christmas.
  14. Clean the bathroom.

Yay for motivation. :]

Taylor started The Crucible today. He will be finished on Saturday morning/afternoon. Then he gets to call me on Sunday. I'm so excited. I have missed hearing him talk so much. I'm not even going to go to Church (I know, shame on me) just so I don't miss the call.

So...

Jennifer over at Tatertots and Jello is doing a giveaway of an absolutely amazing homemade puffy quilt.

 Amazing, right?? I love the colors, and the pattern. It would look AWESOME in Little Bear's room. Cuz he totally needs another blanket. Lol.

Well, I'm out. 

Ciao for now!!!
