All of a sudden, I feel the need to share what I am loving with you all...
+TWO awesome Skype dates!
The first was with Desiree from All At Once (previously Mama And Her Boys)
Yep, we talked for over TWO hours, and it felt like five minutes.
It's astounding that you can meet through blogging, and feel like you have known each other forever.
And after too many days, I finally heard from my soldier.
It's like I could breathe again.
Speaking of Desiree and the love of my life....
I am proud to say that we practice all of these, pretty well ;)
+After not having an appetite since Will left, I'm loving FOOD.
I was seriously getting tired of just making myself eat, but not enjoying it.
My three faves, right now:
Sweet Potato Chips and good ol' Ketchup.
Sweet Potato Chips and good ol' Ketchup.
Parmesan Crusted Green Beans, and I throw in Mesquite Seasoning and bacon.
This stuff is Bomb-Diggity. I can't even
explain the hold this glorious product has
on me. I typically eat it with grapes or
Granny smith apples, but it's also good
in a peanut butter & Jelly sammich.
I definitely want to try it in
smoothies. I'm pretty sure it will
taste like a Caribbean adventure.
I'm thinking:
Coconut PB
Vanilla protein powder
Pineapple
Coconut Water
Greek Yogurt or Avocado.
(Don't knock the Avocado)
+Discovering new Photo Editing Sites!
Picmonkey is my new go-to for simple editing.
iPiccy has COLLAGES and general editing.
Pixlr is my go-to for creating images from scratch, and editing blog buttons!
Between the three, I have all the tools I need!
+My impromptu shopping spree!
I went into the store looking for a surprise for my girlfriends birthday and came out with all of this:
(Totally didn't know what to do with my hands. Haha)
Did I:
A) Splurge because I damn well deserve it?
OR
B) Get some to good to be true deals?
How bout you guess how much I spent...
Oh, and apparently, Tabitha is up to something on her blog about me today, but she won't tell me what. That makes me scared.

I'm currently having a giveaway on my blog if you're interested!
That's great you had two awesome skype dates!
ReplyDeleteIt's also fantastic that you heard from your soldier!
I am now starving and am about to raid my cupboards for a midnight snack that I really don't need ;)
Super cute outfits!
Glad you heard from your soldier =). The green beans looks awesome. I dont like peanut butter or ketchup! Ek. lol. but as always you look great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got some great pieces, even if you DID splurge (which I have a feeling you didn't really). But, either way, they are cute, so who cares?? :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE LVOE LOVE the sweet potatoe chips, my man and I make them ALL THE TIME!!!
ReplyDeleteYour close are amazing and I KNOW you didn't splurge cause that's sooo not you!
um missy, we need a skype date too!
xoxo
Thanks for sharing those pic editing sites! Can't wait to try them out!
ReplyDeleteAw, so glad you got to hear from your hubby!! And you got some great things! I bet you got some great deals but I also think you deserved it! :-)
ReplyDeleteJayme @ Her Late Night Cravings
Love all the things on your list! Yay for talking to your hubby. And of course loving the impromptu shopping items!
ReplyDeleteThe Sweet Potato Chips and the Green Beans look terrific!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe need to have a Skype date :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED our skype date and literally almost called you yesterday just to say hi and ramble!! Lol. Thanks for the shout out gorgeous:) even of NY is not a go, can we please schedule a time for be to come to CO or vis versa?! Loving you bargain shopping, lover! This mama needs new clothes. Let's go!
ReplyDeleteWow! Can you believe I am a Skype Virgin?? I'm gonna say you got some too good to be true deals but they sure do look like splurges... where??
ReplyDeleteYay for liking food again! I was the same way when I was living alone and doing long distance. I just didn't have the motivation to cook for one. It wasn't as tasty... Glad you've got your appetite back!
ReplyDeleteI used to live for Skype dates with the hubs when he was away. Hope you get to do another one soon. Retail therapy is the best. Ok...I'm guessing about $200 bucks spent!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting you got to talk to your soldier - yay!!
ReplyDeleteI am so so so happy you heard from your man. :) Love. All your splurge items are beautiful! Nice work and well deserved, I say you got a good deal - you LOVE deals!! Do tell! And where from? :)
ReplyDeleteThat coconut peanutbutter spread looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou got good deals, I say B.
ReplyDeleteMy blog post is so worth stealing your pic you'll love it, swear.
Picky-palate.com has a cookies'n'cream peanut butter recipe, with oreo, chocolate and pb. I die. I will be making it once I'm moved because I fear that if I make it sooner then I'll never leave the kitchen.

That Earth Balance sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteMmmm all of the food looks delicious! I love sweet potato chips. Love that leopard dress you picked up and the fun necklace!
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love your "about me" description... It's pretty much the story of my life! I'm closer to 30 than people think, but they still think I'm 16 years old! and I should definitely have found a "career" by now as well!
ReplyDeleteOh, and glad you got to hear from your man!
Skype dates are always so fun!!!! I love the outfits, super cute!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the website to make collages. Ever since Picnik shut down I've been struggling to make collages. I hope you splurged on some wonderful items for yourself!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHHAHA! OMG the pic was not popping up before! thanks a lot! I will get you back! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am glad you finally go to hear from your soldier my ex fiance use to be a soldier & I def know where you are coming from by being glad to hear from them! I just started following you & I cannot wait to see more & read more :)
ReplyDeletesweet potatoes are my favorite.
ReplyDeletei like all of the 15 ways to stay married for 15 years... except #13- to bitch to your mil instead of your mother... while i do think it depends on your mil and momma, i do not see this going well. i think it would cause hostility in my relationships... while my momma could never think less of my hubs. she may like him more than me!
i'm guessing you spend in the $200 range?
lol. i love the "totally didnt know what to do with my hands"...that is soooo me! again, im so uncool..
ReplyDeleteOk so if you got good deals, take me shopping next time! Great eye!
ReplyDeleteOoh skyping is too fun isn't it. Glad
ReplyDeleteYou had a great time
With her!
So glad you got to skype with your man!! And I'm extra glad eating isn't such a chore anymore. I totally understand that feeling and it's the worst! That peanut butter stuff? I MUST try that!
ReplyDeleteYAY for blog skype chats - so perfect! love your blog!
ReplyDeleteThose sweet potato things look so delish! I want to skype!
