My Top Ten

I had some free time on my hands this weekend and it was fabulous! :)  I watched an amazing movie marathon on TNT that included Mystic River, A Perfect Murder, and Double Jeopardy.  As I was watching I started thinking about my favorite things because a movie marathon is one of my favorite things!  And then I took it a step further and started thinking about my top ten favorite things.

So for your reading pleasure here is my top ten (part one)!

10.  Diet Coke

I love, love diet coke so much.  I know that anything I can put on my car battery that eats of corrosion should probably not go in my body but whatevs!  It's my thing and I love it.  Everyone tells me to stop drinking it but I can't!  By the way I'm sipping on a diet coke as a write this, ha!


9.  Mani/Pedi

One thing I cannot live without is a mani/pedi.  The hubs always laughs because he says the world could be coming to an end and I would be running out the door to get a manicure/pedicure.  :)  I just feel so much more pulled together when my nails and toes look good.  It makes me happy to have brightly painted nails!


8.  High Heels

I love a great pair of heels!  I just feel better in heels, the higher the better.  I can feel dumpy or tired but give me some killer heels and I feel like I've lost 10 lbs :)  The only time I wear flats is when my poor little feet can't take the pain anymore!  High heels are one of my fav, fav favorite things.


7.  Facials

I get facials often but not as often as I would like.  My favorite kind of facials is a microderm abrasion facial.  I feel so much better when it's done and my skin literally glows.  I love how I feel when the facial is over and how tight and smooth my skin is.  If you've never had a microderm abrasion facial run do not walk to the nearest spa and get one!


6.  Stationary

I have to admit that I'm addicted to stationary and pretty paper in general.  I don't write on normal post it notes but instead have this really pretty paper I use and then staple it to whatever I'm working on.  It makes me happy to open my desk drawer and see a new pack of stationary I get to use.  For my wedding I used an amazing gal, Callie Burnette, (her site is http://www.calliespondence.com/) for thank you notes and I loved them.  I still have a few and use them sparingly. 


Stay tuned tomorrow for the rest of my top ten!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started creeping up I thought it was working mother's gu

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurrent of sadness tha
