~First things first! I FINALLY decided it was time to get a new macbook yesterday! The (little) boys and I went to pick it up after school and I’m in love. I had (well have) a MacBook Pro and I decided to get a MacBook Air this time. It’s SO light! OMG. Amazing. I’m still working on getting everything switched over, but so far so good!
~I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but B joined the National Guard this week. No real reason other than he wanted to. Everyone asks. I wasn’t there but someone (a recruiter maybe) sent B a few pictures of him taking his oath of enlistment (I think that’s what it’s called). I blurred out the other guy because I have zero clue who he is, but B said he looked like Jesse Pinkman ;). Oh and I am super annoyed that he hasn’t gotten a uniform yet. I’ve asked him half dozen times when that’s going down and he’s like I don’t know? But there will be pictures (*) when it happens for sure!!
~Oh and speaking of B, that marathon he was training for? Yeah, well he stopped training and is still planning on running. Oh and it’s this Saturday. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous for him. And then next weekend he’s running the Urbanathlon (which is why we are going to Chicago). It should be an interesting few weeks that’s for sure!
~I’m still expecting a few boxes this week including PopSugar, Fabletics, Mama’s Got Mail and Appleseed Lane. And I should have reviews up for The Fantasy Box, Carefree Crafts and FAIRtreasure up soon! And eek, I need to get Crafter’s Crate (I want to do all the projects this time so you get a better idea of what you get in their boxes) and PixieBar completed as well! And I am thinking about trying a few new boxes this month / next month and wanted to get some input. Anything you want to try but just aren’t sure about?? Blush Mystery Beauty Box? A Quarterly Co. Box? I’m open to suggestions!
~Umm, did anyone see Kanye on Kimmel last night? W.T.F.? I don’t think Kimmel knew what to do with him. What I got out of it is that he thinks Kim Kardashian should get a star on the Walk of Fame, people are STILL stealing his leather jogging pants idea and that “it’s not safe for you in this zoo”. Well then. Okay. But the best part of Kimmel was his Mean Tweets bit. OMG does he do that often? Hysterical. I was dying.
~Does this seem like the longest week ever to anyone else? Seriously how is it not Friday yet?? B got home (from school) super late last night and we were like no seriously, it’s only Wednesday??
~And finally, my Tigers are playing tonight!!! If they don’t win, it’s the end of the season, so yeah, they NEED to win. I can already feel my stress levels increasing and the game isn’t for like 12 hours! GO TIGERS!
That’s it for now! What’s on your mind today?
Adding uniform to my new man wishlist!
What is the National Guard?
Oh, and you mistyped Kanye as Kayne but I kinda like it cos that would probably make him mad 😉 Kim and Kanye is still one of the weirdest couples ever to me.
I just signed up for the Nina Garcia Quarterly Co. box. The price is hefty ($100), but I think it would be a great box. You should try it 🙂
I couldn’t stand to watch the last Tigers game – I could only look at the twitter updates and hope they would hold on. I am going to try to watch tonight 🙂
Take $10 Julep orders of 25+…offer expires in 17 hours 😛
PROMO: TENTEN
Blush Mystery Beauty is my favorite subscription box. Really, it spoils me. It makes the others look not so good. You should really give it a try!
So glad I’m not the only one who thinks this has been the worlds longest week, I mean seriously?!?!?
Congrats to B for joining the National Guard… I cannot wait to see uniform pictures… there is nothing I like more than a good looking man in a military uniform!!!
Oh and good luck to B on his upcoming races!
BTW, cute picture of the boys… they really have their mean mugging down!
I get my Popsugar box today, I’m excited!
Oh and Go Tigers!
Just a warning…when he gets his uniform on you may immediately jump his bones =) My boyfriend/children’s dad is in the Air Force and OMG there is nothing sexier than seeing him in that thing. He is leaving for Afghanistan next month, so I have taken lots and lots of uniform pics. My boys think he’s a superhero when they see it on him. He’s stationed in TX and we are in GA, so we don’t get to see it as often as we’d like though.
That pic of the boys is so funny! They are just so disgusted with life at that moment.
Way to go B. That must be so exciting for you guys. Since I was gone a couple days this week is just weird all around but last week was like that I kept thinking I was a day ahead of what it really was.
The picture of the boys is TO DIE FOR! They are just too cute all serious! LOVE IT!! Oh and I saw Kanye too, not sure WTH I think about it all though. Kimmel is hilarious I need to watch him more.
I think it is great that he decided to join the National Guard! Jared thought really hard about it for awhile until he got the job he has now. With us living in Alabama and him working in Chicago for 5 months out of the year he wouldn’t be able to do it. I agree though that this week is dragging by. I have been exhausted every day this week.
Have to comment on this one…GO TIGERS!!! Love the pix of the boys in the Verlander shirts…I have the same one. In children’s large. That I may be wearing to work today, classy, I know. Bring it JV!
I am so curious about the Pairings Box. I have a younger musician friend who is also a wiz in the kitchen, and I owe hime a thank you gift (younger brother’s friend who helped us out with a project). The Pairings box looked oddly perfect–but then also maybe a little wierd? I’d like to get him a three month subscription–its between Pairings and Taste Trunk.
Congrats on the enlistment! Am I remembering correctly — Isn’t B prior service, too?
Yay for B! That’s so awesome he decided to do that.
B should be fine, I ran my first half without any training and left my friend’s who’ve run multiple times w/ training in the dust. I’m also running the Nike half next week with a respiratory infection and no training. How is his 30 races in his 30th year going? I may run the Long Beach one this Sunday just because it would be cool to have a medal with my birthday on it but not sure yet. Congratulations to him on his National Guard enlistment.
I want to see the blush box as if I need another beauty box. I may just order because I love them. I have to say go A’s sorry its the hubbys team. Congrats on the enlistment I spent 8 yrs in the Army Guard.
ooh I am getting the macbook air hopefully for xmas/boxing day, looks like it fits perfect in the bag 😀 the first apple product I will ever buy!
btw, you haven’t shown us the furries for a long time now! 😛
I agree this week is taking forever.. I mean come on Friday needs to get here!!. It’s pay day and Im off for two days in my crazy work 15 days of the next 18(Although I’m the one that made my schedule that way, but I NEEDED the whole week of Halloween off).
I LOVE Blush Mystery Boxes!
Did you ever get to try out Datelivery? I’m still really interested in that box; on my wish list.
