What I do and don't love right now

Things I love at the moment:
  • Glitter! It's unavoidable with the new job and I absolutely love it on all of our Christmas stems.  We have poinsettia's in every color with touches of glitter to completely covered - I cannot get enough of them
  • Candy corn pumpkins
  • The length of my hair - yes, it's long(ish) and I actually like it.  It's finally beyond that awkward length where it just sits on your shoulders.  It can't quite say love, but like is a big step for me!
  • Being called "wifey" by not only Ryan, but his classmates, too.
  • Being called "beautiful" by Ryan every day.
  • Couponing! Okay, maybe this one isn't quite a love either, but it's getting better and I do love seeing the total drop as they scan each coupon.  That is really exciting and I do love that part!!
  • Getting to design a friend's graduation announcement and another's Christmas card.
  • The Ellen Degeneres Show 
  • Cathy, the floral designer at work.  I said that I would love to learn how to do floral and she trusted me enough to throw me right in and with a little guidance eventually gave me free reign of a few wreaths and Christmas trees which are now on sale at A.C. Moore.
  • Ryan's "manly moment" as he successfully replaced a broken hose in his motorcycle and changed the oil.
  • My gummy daily vitamins.  My adorable husband leaves them on the counter for me every morning.
  • Working part-time.  If only I could get a full-time income working part-time! It's the perfect balance of time at work and time for myself.
  • Coming home for the holidays!! Ryan and I bought out plane tickets last week and will be in Nebraska from December 14-25.  We cannot WAIT to see everyone!
Things I'm not loving at the moment:

  • Blackout dates.  Our flights would have been free if not for stupid blackout dates.
  • Southwest Airlines new ridiculous taxes? Has anyone else seen these?? The prices they advertise now do NOT include taxes.  Not cool, Southwest.  Not cool.
  • Getting idea after idea after at work but not having the money right now to do them!
  • Local commercials. Enough said.
  • Our cell phone service.  Towers have been down for a month and we have to make each phone call at least twice.
  • Being scatterbrained. Once again, life happened all at once and I'm having trouble keeping up.  Besides starting the new job, I got a new (and big) responsibility at church.  I'm now the secretary for our woman's organization, the Relief Society.  Thankfully Ryan has had a few extra hours off of school and has picked up where I have slacked off.
  • North Carolina Drivers.  I can't even start or I won't stop! :)

  1. I totally agree about all of the last 4 things about what you are not loving right now. Especially local commercials. The one with the bird makes me want to go shoot the next bird I see. Also, I take a Flintstone's vitamin every morning and it always makes my day :) Love this and love you!

  3. I've been couponing and I'm getting decent at it! I'm still learning restraint to not use every coupon I have. LOL

  4. Congrats on your new calling at church. It is a big responsibility, but you'll be super great. I just got a new one too. I'm the Activities Leader (think Enrichment). I'm excited to begin, but glad that I don't really have to begin planning until January. Our musical is NEXT WEEK! CAn you believe it??? Wish you were here for the awesome cheesiness. I think it will bring the spirit though too. LOVE YOU!
