5QF - 6/3

As with every Friday...I must start by sharing this week's weight loss!

I lost 2.4 pounds this week! I am officially down a total of 39.6 pounds! Woohoo! Everyday gets me one step closer to where I wanna be. :)

Without further ado...it's Five Question Friday!


- - -

1. If you had to choose, how would you prefer to spend money...on landscaping or a pool?

This is a NO BRAINER for me! I have wanted a pool for as long as I can remember. *sigh* Who needs landscaping...that just creates more work! ha I'm all about swimming.


2. Death penalty, yay or nay?

I say yes. I'm all for an 'eye for an eye' philosophy. I think people do stupid things and should receive a just punishment to fit the crime. If people were more worried about the punishment, they might think twice about committing a crime.


3. What's the worst thing your kid has gotten into when you turned your back/blogged/showered/blinked?

Since I have no kids, I will share a story about something I did as a kid when my Grandma had her back turned. haha My sister and I always used to play beauty shop. We'd wrap a towel around each other like a salon cape and sit in this kiddie chair we had. The chair would be in the middle of the living room facing the large mirror that hung over the couch. We'd use baby lotion as face masks...haha...oh my, we were tools. Anyway, on this particular day, I convinced my younger sister that Grandma said it was okay to cut her hair. bahahaha I had the lovely dull kiddie scissors and was literally a second away from attempting to cut her bangs when Grandma realized it was TOO quiet and came to find us. I don't think I got spanked, but I definitely heard a few words about my behavior, even though I tried to convince Grandma that Jen WANTED me to cut her hair. ;) I love being a big sis!


4. How often do you REALLY go to the dentist?

To be honest, I went for several years without going because I didn't have any insurance and just couldn't afford it. Now that I have a wonderful benefits package at work, I go every 6 months for my cleaning...and as needed for other issues.


5. What is your favorite animal (doesn't have to be a pet-type animal)?

My all-time favorite animal is a polar bear. I've always loved them. Maybe because I was addicted to Coca Cola until about 3 weeks ago? ha Seriously, I think they are gorgeous and our Great Pyrenees dogs always reminded me of polar bears.

Day 63

I enjoyed every...and I do mean EVERY bite of dinner tonight. I had to get my nails done & I knew it would be late when I got done, so offered to pick up dinner while in town. Mom wanted Frisch's so that's what she got. I wanted Taco Bell because I love it & have only had it twice in the past few months since WW....I had plenty of points today, so I indulged & had a Chicken Fiesta Taco Salad. Mmmmmmmmmm so good! :)

Blogger Award!

I got a Blogger Award!!


Thanks to Heather at Diaries of a Fat Girl! And now since I got the award, I must follow suit and list 7 things about myself and then nominate a few other Stylish Bloggers! :)

1. I recently started selling Scentsy Wickless Candles and I LOVE it! Great way to earn some extra cash. (pst...let me know if you want to buy some or sell some! ha)

2. I have been doing Weight Watchers for 19 weeks and after weigh-in tomorrow morning, will hopefully be down 40 pounds from my starting weight!

3. I love love love my treadmill. I used to have an elliptical and thought it was the "bee's knees" but alas, I have fallen in love with the treadmill instead.

4. As of next month, I will have been selling Mary Kay cosmetics for 8 years! Where does the time go? I have learned so much from fabulous world renowned makeup artists in that time...and have loved the sisterhood. I've only ever worn MK and probably never will wear anything else!

5. I would travel every day of every year of my life if I could afford to do it. I really enjoy seeing new places (and some old, familiar ones).

6. I am a text-aholic. Yes, I said it. And no, there is no hope for me. hahaha

7. I waver daily about going back to school and getting my Master's degree. In the end, the expense always ends up with me saying no. One of these days, I may actually cash in on a graduate degree acceptance letter! Maybe.


And now...on to some new blogs I love to read...

1. Rebecca @ Southern Charm

2. Sarah Kate @ Dixie Creek Farm

3. Jen @ From A to Z...My Life as a D


I hope you'll visit the bloggers I've passed the Blogger Award to! Have fun!

Thankful Thursday

Join Rebecca's brand new link up...

I'm thankful for sun lit mornings! Although a morning person, it's so much easier to get up and get moving EARLY in the morning, when it's not dark.

I'm thankful for morning exercise routines. I always feel so much more energized throughout the day when I get an ab routine or something quick in before getting ready for work. Thanks to Slim in 6! :)

I'm thankful for a new healthier lifestyle that involves exercise, yummy food, and weight LOSS!

I'm thankful for living in the country so I can enjoy quiet evenings on the deck...listening to the frogs croak back at the pond.

I'm thankful for my family. Especially a cousin who is like a brother and let's me come to spend the weekend. :) Looking forward to spending this weekend with mom, sis, and cousin at his house in Georgetown, KY.


What are you thankful for??

Day 62

There is an empty spot in our home tonight...today mom had her dog, a toy rat terrier, Midget put down. Poor Midgie has been suffering from blindness & multiple wolf teeth. Her health has slowly deteriorated & we couldn't stand to see her suffer any more. She was a great pet for the past 12 years.

Mom said she held it together until she had to take Midgie in to the vet. *sigh*

What I'm Loving Wednesday

My second time linking up with Jamie over at This Kind of Love...hope you'll play along!

- - -

I'm loving a fresh start to a new month! I can't believe it's already JUNE!

I'm loving the summer weather. I really don't like 90+ degrees, but I always enjoy the sunshine and pretty blue skies!


I'm loving my Scentsy business! In my first 15 days, I became a Certified Consultant! Woohoo! One promotion down with plenty more to go. :)

I'm loving the Scentsy Scent of the Month for June...Peach a la mode! I LOVE peaches. This month's scent is light and summery, while retaining just enough of the peach scent to remind me of peach rings (ya know the sugary gummy snack? yum!). I have a feeling I'll be burning this scent ALL month. ha

I'm loving that my Cozumel vacation is only 4 weeks away! Hallelujah! :)



Looking forward to finding out what YOU are loving on this gorgeous Wednesday!

Day 61

Trains, trains, and more trains.

So my hometown has a railroad that runs right through the center of the town. You didn't grow up here and not learn at least 1 route to bypass the train and 1 to try to beat the train. (For you law-abiding citizens, sorry, but sometimes you can't wait on a 20 minute train!)

My workplace is right beside the railroad tracks. I hear the train go by 2-3 times a day. We have jokes about who we'd like to tie to the tracks before the next train. Ha

Today the 2nd train just stopped. STOPPED. Like it didn't move for 20-30 minutes. Weird. Not sure why, but thought you'd all enjoy a picture of train cars today!
