Time for a new Watch!

Help! I am looking for a new watch and have it narrowed down to a few. I received from Mr. Bliss the pink blinged out Toy Watch (see below) two years ago. I love it, but I need a more sensible watch that I can wear without getting unusual looks from people who do not appreciate a little pink sparkle.. HA HA..

Here is what I have:


Which one of these do you like? Or do you have a suggestion for me?? I wear more silver, but I do wear gold sometimes. That is why I am looking at the two-tone..





These are so similar it is hard to choose.. What watch are you wearing?

TGIF...

Thank Goodness Its Friday pretty much sums up my day! The sun is shining here for the first time in weeks!!



And I woke up to day #1 of using Advocare MNS Max 3 from Channa at Life As A Coahes Wife! I will keep everyone posted on how it goes.. I weighed myself this morning so I know exactly where I am starting.



Plus I am finally going to be able to catch up on all the Olympic events that I missed during the day! I love the Olympics!!!

Also, I am almost to my 100th post!! YAY! What should I do?

Snowy Monday!

What a great weekend! Mr. Bliss and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Mr. Bliss cooked a lovely meal, bought me a beautiful orchid and we went to see Robert Earl Keen!!! Made me feel like I was home!

Today, I am off! I love three day weekends! Just started snowing, so I think I am going to have a great day inside..

Plus, I won the Advocare giveaway over at Life as a Coaches Wife! I will keep you posted on how it works!!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday! Hope you are off too!!

Spanx Bathing Suits, So Excited!!

I am almost excited for bathing suit weather!!

Kicking Myself Down Lilly Lane

So, when the Jubilee Collection came out, Mr. Bliss wasnt done with law school and I was quitting my horrific job. So, dropping $498 on this beauty was out of the question. BUT I HAVE TO HAVE IT... If anyone sees it as they Lilly Shop or anyone wants to get rid of theirs, let me know!!!!!

The Final Countdown

I am nerd, I know. But I am so excited about the Final Season of Lost. Anyone else watch?? Mr. Bliss and I are totally addicted. I will totally freak out on ABC if they do not give us some explanations and a good solid ending, WE DESERVE IT!

Time to Decorate!

I love Valentine's Day! Everything is pink, red and pretty! I would like to decorate our new house for the prettiest holiday.

Any decorating ideas?

How do you decorate?

Engaged...

No, not me! I have been happily married for almost 4 years! WOW, how time flies!

But, my best friend is about to be engaged and I would really like to get her something special as soon as she says YES! Paper? Jewelry? I just don't know.

Any ideas, I know some of you preppy and wonderful gift givers might have some great suggestions. Please send them my way!

Let's Go Mass!

Well, today is election day in Massachusetts! Everyone get out and vote, our country needs you! Hopefully, Mr. Brown will have a great election night!!! Thanks to everyone on the ground and working in Mass!!

A Weekend of Wonderful!

This weekend Mr. Bliss and I are going to The Greenbrier! I am so excited for all of the wonderful pink and green fabrics, wallpaper and decor. It is the mecca for all things preppy!

I haven't been since they have a new owner. There are new restaurant's and a casino. I am just hoping the wonderful old charm is still in tact. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

A few things from Santa...

A little something everyone needs.. Some awesome Riding Boots. Thanks Mom!


And something beautiful for the house (in my china pattern)




I would say it was a great Christmas!!

The Thrill is Gone!

Being a native Texan ,one of the biggest excitements of life on the East Coast was experiencing actual seasons. Well, I am telling you.. I have experienced Winter and the 24 inches of snow that have fallen since December and I am DONE! It was pretty and white, but then the power was out for 2 days and Saturday Mr. Bliss and I bought a new furnace. A new furnace = a LOT of new shoes!!! I woke up warm this morning, but the snow has started again.. I have to say I am over it and dreaming of Spring! I am sure many of you out there are feeling the same way! So here is a little something warm to start your day!

New Year... New Job... New Me

Daffodil Means new Beginnings

Hello Ladies!

I can not believe that I have been gone from the blogging world since July. So much has happened and I felt that it was time for a come back (hopefully it won't be a Britney comeback and get cancelled)!!! I needed to focus on making my life what I want it to be and now I feel like I am up and running. Here is the five second update for 2010!

I have a new job and I feel like it was made for me. I am happy and thriving, plus it is something I believe in! Don’t worry Mitt Romney- you are still my first priority, just not on a full time basis!

Mr. Bliss and I bought a house and it is wonderful! It is exactly what I would have wanted if I could have chosen any home. Now, it is so much fun decorating and making our home.

Mr. Bliss passed the bar, WOHOO!!!

Mr. Bliss and I are the proud parents of a little Westie named Sidney. She is the cutest puppy and has a darling personality.

I started Atkins today and have decided to go to a Personal Trainer every Monday to keep myself motivated and start my week off right! Hopefully, this will be my last New Year to worry about losing those stubborn LBS!

And let’s just say a few other things have clicked into place and I can put old goals to rest, they have been achieved!!

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful and merry holiday season and a safe and happy New Year. Here is to 2010 being a wonderful year and a fresh beginning to achieve your goals!

Unemployed Chic

This is how I am referring to myself.. Since this is Day 1 with NO JOB!! YAY! I do have some exciting news... Lots has been happening (I guess that is what happens when you don't blog...)

• I am a finalist for my job!! Not only is it the job that I applied for, they bumped me up to run the entire association. I am so excited, this is exactly what I want. Hard, challenging and fun work!!!! Here is the odd glitch--- I have my interview with the board next week and then dinner afterwards.. Except, I am pretty sure it is both of us having dinner. Any advice? Anyone been through this?
• I sold my first cupcake order last week! One of my friend's moms was having a party and found out it was a guests birthday, so she ordered 30 cupcakes from me!!
• I am in Texas for 10 days!! MY best friend is getting married on Saturday and since I am Unemployed Chic.. I thought why not an extended visit!!
• I am an Aunt again!!! I have a new 3 week old niece. She is adorable...

Today is Best Friends Day! So reach out to the people closest to you and let them know how much they mean to you!!

New Layout Is Here!

Hello Friends, I know I have been more than MIA, but I hope my cute new look makes up for it!

How does everyone like my new design?? Thank you to the Blog Fairy for her talented design and Sweet Tea Diaries for hosting the giveaway!!

I hope everyone is having a happy Wednesday!! The end has finally come, Friday is my last day at work!

Updates to follow.................

Did I say One Interview... I meant Two!!

Hi Ladies!!! Well, week one of my 4 weeks is almost over! Last night I received a call from the other company I applied to and had an impromptu interview over the phone. I was less than prepared for this, but managed to b.s. my way through, ahhh how I love political jobs. But, I guess I was ok, they are having me come in on Friday at 4pm, yes TOMORROW!! So, now I have a Friday interview and a Wednesday interview!!

This weekend is a big one! Mr. Bliss is graduating from lawschool on saturday afternoon. After three long years, I feel like our life can begin (granted he passes the bar)..

I just have to rant about Danny Gokey not making the final two. What is going?? He is so much better than Kris, ugh.... Guess I will be cheering for Adam Lambert.

With a Sigh of Relief...

Happy Saturday! Other than maybe having to start building an Ark here on the East Coast, I closed a horrible chapter in my life yesterday and opened a new one today!

Well, after months of being unhappy, this week grew substantially worse at work. So, I gave notice yesterday. I gave 4 weeks notice, I know this is alot, but I do have substantial responsibilites and do not want to leave with enemies. I do not have a job yet (which is stressful), but I have a great interview on the 20th and I have a wonderful Mother who is supporting my decision. After getting over the nauseous feeling, haha, I woke up feeling refreshed.

Hopefully, my blogging will be more stable (since I am currently getting an F) and my life will be happy!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Cinco De Mayo!

Hello All! I am sorry for my lack of posting. It has been crazy. So much has been going!

Mr. Bliss is HOME! He took his last final on Saturday!!! I am so excited!

I was in Dallas for a 4-day weekend. I was a bridesmaid in one of my sorority sisters’ wedding. It was so great to go home and see my friends, I live TOO far away! We ate great food, drank too much champagne and had a wonderful weekend.

On the job front.. I have an interview May 20th!! Send me good thoughts, as I start to prepare. I am so excited. I really hope this all works out.

Since, so many people commented on the dress.. I did buy it and I should have listened. Very cute for a pool dress, but has NO shape. I returned it!

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday. I will be catching up on everyone’s blogs, I promise!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Job Update

I was contacted by one of the companies that I applied for today!! They had me take an online personality test. when I competed the test, I replied to his email. He responded very quickly thanking me for my promptness and that he already received my results, which were quite impressive (his words).. YAY!! Hopefully, I will get tot he next step!

Well, it was a weird day weather wise. I was opening my garage door and ice pellets flew in. Yes, people ICE... This Texan does not appreciate ice in April. haha, oh well!

Anyone else watching Idol? All I have to say is what the heck are these ladies wearing???

Product Review Needed!!

Has anyone tried this dress on from Jcrew? It is really cute, but sometimes the lack of structure can be unflattering. It is the Pique Pavilion Dress. Let me know! Thanks!!
