Hubs In The Hot Seat

So today is going to be a mish mash of soo many things all combined into one post!! But I am going to start off with the new link up Ashlee is hosting called:


Ashlee posts some questions for the hubs on Fridays and then you post the answers on Tuesdays!! A great way to learn more about the man behind the blog... M did laugh at me when I said that!!

So here we go:

1. If I had to pick one food to live on for a month, what would it be?
M said Subs - because I need to be able to change it up a bit. I need options...
- he is right about the options.

2. What would you choose for yourself?
M said Subs as well... not because of the options but because the man could seriously live off of them!!

3. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Going to Disney World when I was 7.

4. What is your favorite physical feature of mine?
This is how the answer to this one went down:

he laughed hysterically - tried to decide how
PG the question is... then went on to giggling... and laughing out loud... would like to say my chest, but figured he would get in trouble for that one, but if any of you know my husband, you would know his answer, but then I reminded him that I had a really small chest when he met me and he said it was my eyes - because they change color. This blog is sometimes a little too honest...

5. What is your favorite personality trait of mine?
Your generosity and thoughtfulness towards others, as well as you take no BS attitude.
- his answer surprised me with how sincere he became after the previous question.

6. If you had to pick a cartoon character that reminded you of me, which one would it be?
Shera
I can honestly say I didn't know who this was and after reading about it I was a bit insulted... lol she was evil... M backed it up with the fact that she didn't choose to be evil, it wasn't her fault, but it was her strength that caused the resemblance.... and she was a princess! He then threw in the line "What girl doesn't want to be a Princess of Power?"

7. What movie has made you laugh like no other?
Home Alone

8. What is your favorite quote/scene from that movie?
The Paint Can scene he said laughing hysterically:

9. Describe me in one word.
Awesome

Okay so remember yesterday I said I went shopping? I had to go get one more box of flooring because M decided he wanted to cover the pink ceramic tile in the foyer with the same flooring we just laid. We only needed one more box... except they don't carry them anymore, but have been replaced with another name... same floor.. same company, same color, same everything - different name! Retarded... but we got one box!! So the foyer will be done this week I hope!!  But I also managed to get my hooks from Urban Barn:

Looks like wall art, until they need to be used, where 5 pieces of wood pop down!!! You can see the one.

I also bought new running shoes which are a necessity... I have not bought a new pair in ages...

Love them!!

I had to buy a shirt to match!!! I also got 2 new Roxy bikini bottoms for only $3 each!!! I can just wear a black tankini top with them!!
Score!!

Now on to the Bachelor... All I will say "Winning".... and they deserve each other... Ben you picked Courtney to make your bed and now you two can lie in it!! There was one really awesome thing about last night though... it was this:

I hosted girls night last night and we indulged in these red velvet cupcakes!!! YUM!!!

My windows are open, it is a beautiful day!!! I hope everyone else has a great Tuesday!!!

Oh and enter my give away!!! Low number of entries, which means great chances of winning!!!

Manic Monday

What a busy, yet productive weekend, accompanied by some beautiful weather!!! M and I managed to get a lot done around the house!!

Saturday we went and visited my sister and Baby Brandon at home!! I managed to sneak in a mini photo session too!! Oh how sweet babies are!!! He is my first newborn to actually use my newly found hobby on and it was amazing!!! Here are some of the shots:







Sunday we went to home depot to try to find something to temporarily fix my leaking bath tub faucet - I think we ended up with the ugliest generic ones out there... no choice in the matter unless we wanted to overhaul bathroom, which we do, just not yet... so temporary ugly ones it was!!

We have also decided to lay laminate flooring in the foyer, on top of some pink ceramic tile!! More on this story to come!!

I decided to paint a bit more on the railing while the paint was out and silly Binx decided to run through the wet railing...


Excuse the photo - it was taken with my phone quickly... Black kitties and white paint don't mix... it was bath time for this kitty and all the rest, including the dogs!!

I'm running short on time today, so I will touch base about my shopping adventure from today in tomorrows entry!

I am hosting girls night tonight for the season finale of The Bachelor... we all know he ends up picking Courtney... I still hope its wrong!

Don't forget to enter my GIVE AWAY!! You can win some awesome Wall Vinyls!!!

Wonderful Wednesday

Today is fantastic for soo many reasons!!! I am about to rap off all the things I am loving and I will warn you - it's a lot today!!

- I am loving the weather!!! It is 12 degrees outside - that is Celsius of course! That is spring-like weather in Ontario friends on March 7... we are still usually getting snow! And it is supposed to stay above 5 for the next 2 weeks!!! Spoiled!!

- I am loving that as of 5 PM today I am off work for 12 days!!! 12 glorious days!! Our office shuts down for March break. Unfortunately M and I will not be traveling, as M is swamped with work still. I could blame the weather, but I'm not going to complain about the weather!

- I am loving that it is a sweet little G's 3rd birthday!!! Can't wait to give her a little gift soon!!

- I am still loving the new look of my great room! I cannot get over the change!! Even if we still have some work to do, just seeing it put together is awesome!!

- I am loving my sweet Lily... she has started on her weight loss meds! She is a champ and cracks me up because I'm guessing she doesn't love the flavored liquid by the constant licking and look of dislike on her face! But it will pay off soon I hope!! 

- I am loving my sweet hubby as usual. After fighting a fire yesterday afternoon, he texted me to say he loved me and then called me after to tell me how I could make dinner - as it was his cooking night. He didn't end up eatting with me as they fed him during debriefing, but I managed to make something new last night!! 

- I love that my nephew will hopefully be going home tomorrow!!! It has been a long time coming and I couldn't be happier to see them all together! I'm hoping it is a smooth transition!!


- I am excited to finally host a give away tomorrow!!! Stay tuned!! It's here and you are going to LOVE IT!!

- I am loving my sponsors that you can find on my left side!! I'm hoping to do a post to introduce them!!

Don't these potatoes look delicious?
