Music Monday

Yes, there is only a little bit of Monday left but I wanted to use this time to talk about music.

What is in my cd player right now? The Civil Wars

The duo is made up of Joy Williams and John Paul White of Nashville. Their cd, Barton Hallow, came out on February 1st. I preordered it on Amazon and have been listening non stop. The harmonies and lyrics are mesmorzing and haunting to say the least! Have a listen....



Poison & Wine has been out for a while now.... it was even on Grey's Anatomy.



Barton Hallow is their newest single and I looooove it!

And guess who has two tickets to see them on April 2nd at The Ark in Ann Arbor? ME! Yayyyy.

Well, I hope you guys like their music as much as I do. :)

Super Bowl Sunday!

 Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

     I don't know about you but it is a big day in my house. My Husband is a football nut and well... I just like the commercials. :) Oh and the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.

      Last weekend, my Husband told me we were having a party. Oh, nice to make sure I don't have any exciting plans (yeah right). So, today we are cooking the yummiest smelling pulled pork for sandwiches, spinach artichoke dip, potato skins and some other goodies.

  Who are you rooting for? Me? PACKERS!!!! Mostly because I hate Ben Roethlisberger.

Who am I rooting for in the Puppy Bowl?

Hope everyone has a great night and stays safe. Off to work I go :)

See Where I Blog!

 Lauren at Modern Day Wife had a neat post a couple of days ago! She posted where she actually blogs. She has such a cute little nook. I decided I'd play too and show you my blogging area......

Haha, it is the couch in my family room. It is comfy and right in front of the tv. Also, I always put my feet on the coffee table (Rude, I know). Oh and I always have some type of blanket or snuggie because I'm not a fan of leather and I hate to be cold when I sit on it. 

Ta-da!

Sorry it took me so long to play, Lauren. It has been a crazy couple of days and I was feeling kinda lazy.

Thankful Thursday

Guess what?

                                                  It's Thankful Thursday, ya'll!!!!!!!

It was rough day and you know what I am very thankful for?


 MARGARITAS!!!!!! On the rocks with salt on the rim, please and thank you!

I'm also thankful for American Idol & Grey's Anatomy for making my Thursday even better!

I see a red door.

And I want to paint it black.

So, I posted on my facebook that I painted my front door red and that is the response I got. Haha!

Someone asked me why I painted it red and I told them I have always wanted a red door. I am not sure why.... there wasn't any special house that I loved with a red door. I just like how it looks. In fact, my Husband is so wonderful that when we bought our house, we were talking about things we wanted to change and he says "Oh and we'll have to paint the front door red". It hadn't even crossed my mind yet!

I googled the meaning of red doors and in Feng Shui it creates a welcoming energy. It also means protection and the blood of Christ. I like all of those meanings!

We went to Home Depot and I picked out "Red Velvet" from Behr. It already has the primer mixed in which is nice!

And then the hard part started. I thought it would be so easy to paint a door. Uhh, not so much. First of all, it is winter so it's cold. Secondly, the door is dark green. When I first applied the paint, it looked sooo bad and I thought "what did I get myself into?". After 3 to 4 coats, the door looks fab!!!

Oh and what happened to the office? Still working on it! I'll update about that soon :)

Blast from the Past and Snowmageddon update.

         Just to let everyone know, I am safe and sound. The county I live in is under a level 2 snow emergency which means only drive if you have to because the roads are very dangerous. However, the county I work in which is 10 minutes away from me, is under a level 3 which means it is ILLEGAL to drive. And guess what?

 MY WORK IS OPEN!!! GRRR. ARGGGH.
          **Edit** I can't believe it but they just called & said the store is closed!


     This is my deck and backyard. I had a little path for my dog to walk but it got covered again. Yuck.

My nestie friend, Lauren, of Modern Day Wife tagged me on her blog. She did a blast from the past post. According to her post, I list 7 facts about my childhood and post some pics. Sounds fun! Thanks Lauren!!!

Blast from the Past

1. My Parents and I lived in Georgia for the first few years of my life.

2. I loved Christmas and all holidays, even as a little one!

3. I don't remember my Grandpa very well but I like to think I have his spirit and love of music inside of me. His Mom, my great grandma, was and is my favorite person ever. 

4. I went to Disney for the first time when I was 5 and remember it vividly. It was so exciting!!

5. In HS (I graduated in 2003), I had plugs in my ears. It is so trendy now... then, not so much.

6. I had/have a great group of friends from middle and high school.

7. I went to a performing arts high school and sang in the choir and did madrigal dinners. So fun!

I'm tagging Marisa from  Tablet of the Heart and Kaitlyn from Til the Kai Sleeps in case they want to play too!

Snowmageddon

See Ohio? I'm in the Northwest section of the state. We are currently in a winter storm warning and can get up to 14 inches. And last night we got 4 inches. Yikes! We are lucky enough to have power and cable/internet right now but the winds are pretty bad. Hopefully we'll be ok!

 Do you think my work will be closed tomorrow? I highly doubt it. :-/
