Will Declared Himself Alpha And Omega

Now, I just want to make it through this day. Only a few hours stand between myself and a REAL weekend. Will is going to be training both days, but I will gladly take some relaxation and have dinner waiting for him ;) I might even bake if I can work up the motivation. I want to make these:

I also hope to see your faces linking up on Monday for:

<div align="center"> <a href="http://perceptioniseverything.blogspot.com/2013/03/march-madness.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Perception Is Everything" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg592/PerceptionIsEverything/PIE3/MarchMadness_zps5a29feb3.jpg"/></a></div>

We don't want to add to your stress, so keep it simple. You can outline your goals, share what you've already accomplished, cry about how overwhelming this month is, or just spread the word! Whatever works for you, and I have two ladies that are going to get us motivated.

Come back Monday to see who they are, and have a productive awesome weekend!

I've Got A Crush...

I am not gonna lie, I almost didn't participate today.

Obviously, if I had just quietly ignored this link up, no one would be the wiser. I could say I didn't see it, I forgot, or something came up. No harm, no foul.

And yet...I would have known.

I stressed about it for days, and just ignoring it wouldn't have eased my mind.

 Who would I say? Can I list ALL the blogs that I love? What if I leave someone out? What if I lost contact with them? Will they even notice?

Then last night, I came to a conclusion.
I will first tell you that I love EVERY blog on my sidebar, and my blogroll is straight gold. Each of those ladies have touched me in an important way, and I am honored to call them friends.

Secondly, I will share the blogger that has helped me the most and been a constant in my life for about a year now. The one that I text on the regular, that I go to for fashion advice, and my GF...

Kelly!




I read her blog for her passion for life...



She's going to be a teacher, which means that she and le beau are perfect for each other.
{I am thankful for both selfless careers.}



And like I said, she is my fashion guru.
I solicit her advice, and she NEVER steers me wrong.



You may know her as the creator of the Messy Project, and I can brag and say that I was part of it for the inaugural event. #ballerstatus

But seriously...

Kelly, you are my blogging soulmate, and I am so incredibly thankful to have you in my life. In case you didn't already know, YOU are my blog crush!

Who's your blog crush? Link up with Living In Yellow. Right meow.

Currently...Not Much Has Changed In A Year

On a whim, I looked up the last "Currently" post that I did, and surprisingly, I feel like not much has changed. I know that sounds boring, but I find consistency awesome. Especially consistent happiness. {PS. We totally got rid of the mouse problem}

Currently I'm....

Reading...Blogs. Lots and lots of blogs. Still trying to catch up after last week.

And say hi to new faces...HI!

Ordering...YesTo Products.

Did you know that Aunie is the new Yes To Girl?
She reintroduced me to the line, and I am loving it again!

Since I ordered something, YOU now get 35% off (plus better online deals) by using this link. The products are pretty pricey, so I definitely recommend checking out the site. Plus if three of you order something then I get a $15 gift card. Holla!

Drinking...Coconut tea from Republic Of Teas

You know me and coconut.

Recovering From...Running three miles after not running for a week.
Jillian Michaels is great, but no match for straight up running.

Hitting My Head For...Overloading the disposal. Who knew potatoes would do that?

Avoiding...Going into to work on my days off. 

I am supposed to be working four days, but it's been 5-6 every week!
Playing...With my new camera that Will made me get got me!

He wins husband of the YEAR in my eyes. He knows that I wouldn't shell out the money for this, so he traded our old camera for an iPad, sold the iPad, cashed in reward points, and he's selling one of his TWO laptops {long story}. He said that I was long overdue for a special present, and this was just the one. I guess the hints on the blog really did work ;) I kid, I kid. Kind of.

By the way, the camera is just as amazing as I thought and more. It's as easy to use as a point and shoot, but more bells and whistles than I could have imagined. The fun has JUST begun.

Planning...Dinner.

Debating...what time to get up to go to the gym.

Crushing On...My supa'dupa' sexy husband.

Obviously he was on break when this was taken, hence the beard. It also happened to be his Birthday {January 22nd}, and he is making 28 look good!
Yes, I am that far behind on posting pictures.

So yeah...Life is good :)

March Madness!

Y'all know what time of year it is.
I am personally counting down the days until SPRING, which happens to be my favorite season. Only 16 days, my dears. Don't ask me how winter passed so quickly, but I am not complaining.

However, with the new season upon us, I have realized that I have a LOT of crap to get done. I also figured that while the hubby is busy playing Army, I might as well put my nose to the grind to make the time pass faster.

The problem, is that I am a bit ADD with my to-do lists.
I tend to do everything that comes up BUT the things that I want or need to accomplish. Anyone else suffer from this? I'm hoping so, and then we can all tackle March together.

Here is what my list is shaping up to so far:
Learn to use my NEW camera {Tell ya 'bout it soon}
Read two books that hubby gave me, including ProBlogger
Update my iPhone
Spring clean
Make Exercise goals

Optional:
Figure out our Kindle

Begin Freelance Writing OR Start another blog
Plan our trip to Virginia and Ohio for June

What would be on your to-do list? 
It could be similar to this, could be creatively motivated, a blogging to-do list, fashion challenge, budgeting challenge, etc. All that matters is that you tackle something you need or want to accomplish, and we will help you be accountable.

I have one co-host that is interested, but am open to more so just lemme know!

<div align="center"> <a href="http://perceptioniseverything.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Perception Is Everything" src="http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg592/PerceptionIsEverything/PIE3/MarchMadness_zps5a29feb3.jpg"/></a></div>

My first order of business, is to solicit some information/thoughts from y'all. I created a little survey that I would love your response on. Part of my "Spring Cleaning" involves making sure the blog is operating at tip-top shape, and your opinions will mean the world to me. To be honest, I have never asked anyone's opinions because I want to make sure that I maintain the authenticity of "myself", but I also value all of your opinions! If you love me, take the short little survey...if you hate me, eh.

Thanks for taking part, and I hope that I see your faces and to-do lists starting next Monday. I'm going to need to be held accountable ;)
