{Sunday Social}

Hello ladies and Happy Sunday!! It's my hope that you all are doing well! During December I was totally slacking on my posts due to my surgery. I'm getting back into full swing now! If you're not familiar with the Sunday Social link-up -- get with it!!!



This weeks questions
1. Do you plan to change any of your eating habits in the new year? No. I changed my eating habits drastically back in 2011 and I've done pretty well sticking to those good habits. In 2013 I simply want to improve the healthy path I am currently on; after all it wont hurt to add more/new fruits and veggies to my diet!

2. Any workout tips to get us back in shape after the Holidays? Oh gosh, I haven't worked out in months! I definitely want to get back into walking more and take a few yoga or zumba classes this year. Zumba is super fun and doubles as a great workout!!

3. Favorite thing you did over the Holidays? Didn't get depressed?.... In years past I would always get so sad and emotional during December, and more so now that my mom has passed. However,  this year I was okay. Although I'm away from all my family and I stay inside on Christmas Say [watched the Lakers game though!] i was really content with how things were. That's all due to God's grace!

4. What is something you hope that you accomplish in 2013 that you did not in 2012?
See more of what Seattle has to offer. Become more social with co-workers and church friends. I feel like after 5 months I'm getting much more adjusted with living in Seattle and now is the perfect time to  mingle with people and see all that I can!

5. Name 3 things happening this year you are excited about and why:
I don't have too many any plans for the rest of the year mapped out  yet, but here are some things I'd like to do this year.

1. Spend a weekend with my Aunt in Mississippi
2. Visit my cousin and her soon-to-be-born baby girl in Atlanta
3. Do a Breast Cancer walk/run!


if you join the link-up, let me know and I'll check out your post!!

Until next time....

New Blog Hop/ Link-Ups

Hello ladies! As usual I've been discovering a lot of new blogs and even more link-up! Here are two tat I have recently found. Check them out!!

   

 

10 Day You Challenge - 3 Movies

As you ladies know I've been doing the 10 Day You Challenge for the last few weeks. This weeks challenge is 3 movies. If you know me, then you know I LOVE movies! Below are 3 of the many movies that I absolutely adore!!!

1. Saw series - I love horror movies and this series! I have all 7 films on dvd. Put all the guts gore aside, the message of the movies is a good one. Cherish the life you are given, don't take it for granted.

2. Princess & The Frog- When this movie came out on dvd my mom and I watched it together and loved it. Ultimately I convinced my sister-in-law to get it for my-then- 2 year old niece. Now at 4, my niece LOVEEEES it still!

apparently I make this same faceat people unknowingly... *shrug*

3. The Hangover - can we say HILARIOUS??? Just thinking about it makes me want to burst out laughing! lol

So There's This New Link-up....

     

As usual, I was scouring the web and came across a new blog and thus a new link-up. Dalayna at Pointing Up has started a link-up for those of us who are not married and don't have children. By no means is this at bash at the wonderful bloggers who are married and/or have children- we love y'all!!

 

One cool thing about this link up is each week you connect with other via different social networks [GFC, Twitter, Facebook, etc] Sooo check it out =)

How Pinteresting

  I know, I know! I haven't done the pinterest link-up in weeks; but I'm back at it again today!! I'm going to go with a "funny" theme for the pins because well, its the middle of the week and I don't know about y'all but my Monday was CRAZY but my Tuesday was 10x better! So here's to hoping the rest of the week goes smoothly! *crosses fingers*

10 Day You Challenge - 4 Books

So this weeks challenge is about 4 books. I decided to list 4 books that I started to read but never finished. That is a HUGE problem for me. I'll start reading a book, get halfway through it just to stop reading due to lack of interest or some form of distraction. I REALLY need to work on that! So with that being said, the books below are books that I have started reading and one day hope to finish. =)

1. The Help by Christine Hassler
2. 50 shades of Grey[+ books 2 and 3] by E.L. James
3. 20 Something, 20 Everything by Christine Hassler
4. If I Stay by Gayle Forman




* Initially I was going to list 4 books that I really enjoyed but the only thing that popped into my head was the Twilight series... and I figured I'd spare you all that as I will be posting about the final movie installment of the movie in the upcoming days =) You can thank me later lol

10 Day You Challenge - 8 Fears

Continuing on with the 10 Day You Challenge, today's post will be about my 8 fears.. If you're checking out my blog for the first time you can read my 9 Loves and 10 Secrets as well. Also be sure to head over to Blog Love Therapy to join in on the link-up.


1. Cockroaches! - Living in Texas I saw my fair share of this disgusting little critters and they freak me the fuck out! There's just no way around it! *cringe*
2. Not falling in love -- I'm dated a hand full of guys I my time... None of which I loved. All were very short lived; either the guy cheated or the relationship wasn't what I wanted/needed. Either way they all ended within months. ,
3. Becoming "over weight" again. After loosing 40 pounds last year and then gaining 10, I sometimes worry that I'll fall back into my old eating habits and continue to gain weight. Which will ultimately effect my health for the worst
4. Being stuck in a dead-end job. You know the jobs that only pay minimum wage and you are never able to move up in?? Now I'm not complaining about the job I currently have. I hope to either move up to a higher position or get a job with another company that I can turn into a career.
5. Failing. Throughout my college years I sometimes got so overwhelmed that I would freak out and start thinking I was a failure because of small setbacks. Basically I don't want to leave this world and the people I know think I failed at something
6. Heights - I can ride in an airplane no problem, Sit in a train car as it elevates above the ground..... But roller coasters, bundee jumping. hot air balloons? HECK NO! Can't do it! I freak out tooo bad
7. Talking in front of a large crowd - I've given more group project/individual presentations since middle school yet it still rattles my darn nerves!!! I get butterflies and think everyone is going to laugh at me. God forbid if I start stuttering.... it'll be a wrap
8.Not having children - this one kinda connects with #2. Granted a serious relationship is necessary to produce a baby however, that how I'd like my story to play out... fall in love, get married, have a baby. I'm just old school like that.

How Pinteresting..... Pretty in Pink

So its hump day and you all know what that means right??? Yep a Pinterest fiesta/link-up is upon us once again. My theme last week was very random so this time around I figured a pink theme was in order! Nothing like a bright pink anything to get me through a Wednesday! Be sure to check out Michelle's page The Vintage Apple, as the link-up is her creation and join in on the fun =) Have a good day.

I've always secretly wanted pink streaks in my hair...
I should probably do something about it before I hit 30.

A Little Mid-Week Pinterest Fest!

  As I've been following a TON of new blogs lately I've noticed that link-ups are the hot thing! Its a great way to meet new bloggers and get new readers to your blog. One particular link-up I'm kinda psyched about it the "Oh How Pinteresting" post that Michelle at The Vintage Apple does weekly. I love this link-up idea because frankly I'm addicted to Pinterest! There's always something funny to see, a cute outfit and a delicious cupcake pin that I seem to find every time I log on. So here are just a few pins I've repinned recently. Enjoy!
