I Won!

My friend Ashley has this great blog Between West and Main. 

She had a giveaway that I entered and I WON! 

I am so excited about it. 

Guess what it is?

It's Mindy Gledhill's new Christmas album!!

I got it in the mail a few days ago and we have listened to it non-stop.

It has really put us in the Christmas spirit.

And when it stops, we just want it to keep going, forever.

We highly recommend Mindy Gledhill's Winter Moon CD. It will forever be in our Christmas music collection.

p.s. winning something on a blog is like winning something on the radio so this totally counts towards my list! 

I love it when I get to cross things off a list.

The List

I have always been a huge list maker.

I like to see everything in front of me all at once. It also helps because I am really good at getting distracted and forgetting things so lists help me to remember my really good ideas.

If you will notice... on the left hand side of my blog I have added a new list, called "The List." By reading it you should be able to figure out what kind of list it is.... others like to call it a Bucket List or Things to do Before I Die etc., etc. I have made a ton of these lists over the years. They are in the back of journals, on sticky notes, inside my jewelry box, on my phone, seriously they are everywhere.

I really like this list because it reminds me of things I have to do...in life. I decided it would be a good idea to post "The List" because that way not only am I sharing all my really good ideas with everyone BUT it is now out there and I have to be held accountable for actually accomplishing and completing said list!

The list is not in any particular order of priority in fact I will probably add to it because I am always coming up with really good ideas....

Let me know if I am missing anything really great on "The List"

Hey Cowboy Nice Shiner

I have always been all about the story, therefore I enjoy "battle wounds" (bruises, cuts, scrapes etc.) because of their potential for conversation starters. For as long as I can remember I have wanted a black eye if not for any other reason then as an experience, plus I think they look pretty cool. But alas I have never had one.....until now!

Yes it is true it's not a great black eye, looks more like makeup then anything, but hey I'll take it! Trevor gave it to me, we have been engaged for a week now so it's about time that the beatings begin, right? He says he's really sorry and that he only does it because he loves me...

Here's Trev recreating the moment.

Actually what happened is that I was trying to tickle Trevor on his  neck. He threw his head back as I lunged forward and we collided. The funny part about it is that it hurt his head way more then mine but I ended up getting the black eye....awesome!
