Sunday Social....I'm Back!

I'm back to link up with Ashley & Neely for another Sunday Social.  

I have fallen off the blogging wagon and I've really missed it. I find myself writing blog posts in my head, but by the time I get home, I'm just so exhausted.

1. What is one movie you are terrified to watch?

I hate anything scary. I don't do it.  And I also stay away from "end of the world", "it could happen type movies". Nope, I don't even go there.

2. What is one TV show you have always wanted to get into but haven't yet?

I want to watch Girls, Big Bang Theory, and Pretty Little Liars.  I didn't even get into Biggest Loser this season and normally I'm addicted.

3. What is one daring activity on your bucket list?

Oh tons, skydiving and flying to Australia.  Both freak me out a little, but I still want to do it!

4. Would you ever travel alone?

I travel alone for work a lot.  I really don't mind it. I don't mind doing airports by myself. Traveling in airports with my parents stress me out a little.

5. What activities do you like to do alone?    

Watch TV & craft.  I also shop a lot by myself, but should probably have a friend to talk me out of ridiculous purchases.

Pits & Peaks!

I'm so excited to be back and linking up with Allie & Brin for Pits and Peaks.

I'm happy to be back in the blog swing of things!

Valentine Swap

I was so excited to participate in Meg's Valentine's swap.  Since there was an odd number....Nancy sent something to me, while I sent things to Stephanie!  Nancy is awesome.  She is a breast cancer survivor and generally just kicks ass (I'm allowed to swear on my blog...booyah!).  I was so excited to get my package when I got home last night!!  We were able to get to know each other through a few little comments about ourselves.

Nancy sent the greatest little gifts.  I really needed this little pick me up.  Who doesn't love getting something in the mail.

Fuzzy socks, Swedish Fish, lotions, gummy bears.  AND a present for my precious BUSY!!!

Can you tell the Sassy Sister loved her treat? She was so tired from being at the vet that she just fell asleep in the chair with her new toy!

I absolutely LOVE blog swaps and can't wait till I'm blog savvy enough to host one of my own--I'm thinking an animal swap?  Any interest?  Send treats to other bloggers pups

Book swap with Ashlea!

I was so excited to be paired up with Ashlea for the book swap with Kimberly.  I LOVE to read, but lately haven't been reading as much as I want.  It's on my list of 101 in 1001 (to read a book using every letter of the alphabet).  After emailing back and forth, I knew Ashlea and I were going to make great partners.  She has the cutest girls and is planning her wedding now. 

I had originally planned to read the book while I was out on leave, but I'm so glad I saved it for my plane trip to Vegas (more on that later).  I must've looked like an idiot because I boo-hooed through the entire thing.  If you are looking for a good fast read...I highly recommend anything by Kristin Hannah.  I even sent Ashlea a Kristin Hannah book (Firefly Lane).

Love, War, Life, Death!

The beautiful view on the way to Vegas!

Farewell Big Bad Pop Up

My parents and I ventured to the last Big Bad Pop Ups from City Grocery. I'm so sad to see it go and hope they will continue in some sort of fashion in the future!

The great menu!

I started with the Gumbo..it was great!

Mom got the Johnny's snack

My Midnight Snack-----it was great!

 

 

 

 

Dad's catfish that Matty made!

Mingle Monday

Hey Everyone,

Linking up again with Meg for Mingle Monday!  Hello to any new followers that come my way.  

A little recap of me---I'm a twenty-something former Chicago Suburbanite, that came to college in Mississippi and never left!  I work for my beloved Alma Mater (Ole Miss--HOTTY TODDY).  You can find me blogging random events of Mississippi such as football games, basketball games and eating out!  I also am obsessed with my lab puppy Busy. Also, I seem to be on the wedding circuit these days. 

Basically you can say, Illinois raised me, Mississippi made me.
