Bloggers Been MIA Say Whaaaa?

Hi Lovelies!

 I have been MIA for weeks, life has been cray cray in the best way.

Don't act like you don't say "cray cray".

No? Just me? Whatevssss. :)

 

 Let me update y'all, how 'bout it?

It's been be-eeee-yuti-ful outside lately.

 

 So I have been soaking in my Southern roots and doing a lot of this. Front porch swingin', with some sweet tea. I love it in the best way.

 

I've been soaking up life, one puppy at a time.

Hey I mean who is not a sucker for some good puppy lovin', even if you have to give him back.

Wahhhhhhh. I hate givin' 'em back!!

 



 Back in my younger, much cooler days, I used to be a baton twirler.

Every year before State & National Competitions begin we did a recital and all of our family and friends came out of the wood work to see us perform. It's safe to say June has been and always will be my favorite time of year. I had back surgery in 2006 and had to give it up, but that is neither here nor there, and is a much longer story for another time.

So my cousin still Twirls and she had her senior performance so of course I was in attendance, as always to bawl my eyes out. No big deal.

BONUS: my niece came. As an auntie, I would love NOTHING more than if my babygirl became a baton twirler. Sadly, as much as she loved it, I don't think it will happen.

 

You see her mama is a horse back rider, barn owner, lesson teacher, trainer, etc. The child is destined to ride/show horses. Hey, it's her cup of tea. I support her no matter what, but it's also a sure bet my heart still pangs at the thought of her in pretty costumes, twirling a baton.

A girl can dream. Sigh............

 

Then I decided that couponing, yea it was my thangggg. So I snipped, clipped, printed, and headed off to the best place on earth........Tarjay (Target).

Sighhhhhh.

Moment of silence for the greatness, please.

 

Well I have $178 worth of merchandise here in this photo, however I only paid $52.

Go me! Not bad for a rookie, eh!? :)

 

And ladies, we all know that makeup and hair products......yea that jank is expensive.

Oh, the price to pay to be a woman.

 

Speaking of women. I'll leave you with this tid bit for the night.

.........Because it makes me laugh.

 

Signing out sweet people.

Love & hugs.

xoxo.
