Attention readers.

This is one of those post that introduces a new blogger to the blog world. I have another personal friend that has created a blog. She is a new friend, a girlfriend of another military guy stationed here with us, and a college student. She is turning to the blog world to express her feelings with everyone while her man is going through his first deployment. So with that said im sure she will enjoy all the advice we can give her, while she is not only living a long distance relationship while finishing school, but constantly worrying about her man while he is deployed. Everyone should go check her blog out. - CLICK HERE-


Also guys it is finally FRIDAY!! Yay, however I do have to work and I am babysitting tonight till like midnight. Other than that it is a free weekend. : ) have a great friday!

My day with Pictures!!

So I have tons of pictures to post today. As I mentioned yesterday, I am making a cup for my secret Santa at work and I have finished it today! I am so excited about it and it turned out so well. If you would like to make one for yourself or as a gag gift for someone it is really easy!

Materials

- Plastic cup: any size, shape, color.

- Spray paint of any color

- Acrylic Jewels 

- super glue

- finally an imagination

All this coast me maybe 15 dollars! 

Once you gather all your things together, the first thing you want to do is spray paint your cup. You want to do this outside in the grass, if possible, or on newspaper. Make sure to put something on top of the cup to cover the inside, so paint will not get inside it. Let it sit for a few hours. After that check to see if it is wet. If not you can begin. At this point it is all about you, and what you would like to put on it. Use your imagination and go crazy. make sure not to use to much super glue. just a little will do.  Since mine is being used as a gag gift for secret santa I went crazy with it and put tons of Jewels on it. So enjoy. 

Obviously her name is TJ

Then I added star to the bottom

bedazzled the whole bottom, which took me forever!

The Front

The back

Who knew crafting was so messy

Also today, as been amazing. I was sitting at home, on my lunch break, and I was working on finishing the cup. I then hear the door bell and when I open it I find a package!! You will never guess what finally came in!!!

 That is right... My Christmas cards came in and just in time too!! I was so excited when I received these. I have been waiting on them for a week and I really need to get them out by Friday!!

Okay I know that this post is really short and I have been doing that alot lately!!! BUT tomorrow I have this really neat post to share. As you all know we are doing secret snata and my job. Well i am making a 'pimp' cup, if that is what they are called, for my person. HA. I will be sharing pictures of my project and so far it as turned out pretty good. : ) today, I gave her, her favorite candy, gummy bears, and fabric softeners. : ) her favorite smell is fresh linen so I decided to be unique with it.


Also I started shopping today for the hubs!! YAYY! about time. so now we have three gifts under the tree and of course they would  be all for him. However I am not done yet..

I love christmas :)

I WON!

You all know how I have been telling you all to go and enter Abbey's giveaway?? Well it ended yesterday and I am proud to say that I WON!! I am so excited. It is the first blog giveaway I have ever attempted, because I have the worse luck, and I won. How cool huh?

Besides that, It was just a normal boring Monday. I am about to finish my last exam of the semester after I blog. I am pretty stoked about it. Also this week at work we are doing secret santa. We are doing it all week to where we bring a gift each day for our person and it will add up to 25 bucks all together. Well, I drew my managers name, and I forgot to get her something today. oopss. I will have to make up for it tomorrow. However I am going to have fun with it. I also think she has me too. How funny would that be. But today I got some candy and a basketball hoop thing that hangs on the door hahaha.. BUT are any of you playing secret santa at work and if so what do you guys get them? Ideas are welcomed. : )

Hope every one had a good Monday to start off there week.

The perfect day off

Since today was my only day off this week, it has consisted of..... Cleaning, studying, blogging (which is now), and in the next hour another exam! Sounds like the perfect day off right?? Alright I am being a little sarcastic. I would much rather be just laying on the couch watching a movie with the hubs, and stuffing our faces with all types of junk food ( which by the way neither of use need to do). But there are so many things keeping me from doing that. Not only do i have millions 6 exams total to take, my husband as been on his high horse lately. And by high horse, I mean he has been real paranoid about everything. You see, since he is deploying soon he had to go get all his shots up to date. One of those shots was small pox. I do not know if you all are informed on the information about this shot. It isn't just one shot that they inject you with fluid. they take a needle and stick you 15 times in the same area. They then tell you to keep it bandaged for a month, wash your clothing separate from your spouse, do not get it wet, do not scratch it, and always where a shirt over it. Before getting this shot, just like all others they ask you the question "have you ever!" Well they asked the hubs all kinds of questions and one was if he has ever had eczema? He of course forgot that he had it when he was a kid, until he got home, and told them no. So a week later, which is now, he has been so cautious about everything, even the cats. he though Fluffy was infected one day. Well today, after we had a shower we noticed that he has developed these small bumps all over his back and stomach. They did tell us that it could spread, and it is possible that it could become really bad. So needless to say I went around this whole house and bleached everything. My house now smell like bleach everywhere. I guess it is better to be safe than sorry and I know that if the house is kept clean the hubs cant fuss about that being the problem. :) He is going to the doctor tomorrow to get everything checked out. I really hope that it is nothing serious.
Now as he sits on the Xbox playing his video games, I cook dinner, and gather up as much time as I can to blog and share with you guys about my relaxing day off. I am now going to take another exam and hope I do well. tomorrow is my last day of exams.. WOOT!

Be on the look out.

So me and a couple of my friends have decided to start a blog while our husbands, Boyfriends are deployed. They are all going to be gone around the same time and we thought that it would be a good idea to start something that many of our followers could relate to. We should have it up and running real soon, we are currently working on a design. So when it is a go you guys will for sure be the first to know. So far the suthors of this blog consists of Erin @ More To Love and Kelsey @ Home is Where the Heart Is.

Also guys do not forget to enter abbey's giveaway. It ends tomorrow and you do not want to miss out on it.. Click HERE to check it out.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I had to work today so last night I passed out watching a movie with the hubs and like 9.. I swear I feel like a hold woman some times. So since I do not have to work tomorrow the hubs is taking me out to apple bees. We are trying to squeeze in as many dates that we have time for, and can afford while he is still home. : / But for now I should be taking my exam that I got on the computer to do in the first place but started to blog instead. : ) So I will leave you all with a picture of fluffy. We had to give her a bath the other night and i could not resist.

AWWWW.. Have a great SUNDAY!

Another Friday

It's FRIDAY people!!! Don't we all just love the weekends? I know i do, but not this weekend. I have to go to work tomorrow afternoon for a bit. BLAH! But I do still get to sleep in a little so that is good. But as we all know every Friday is Milspouse day!! so here are mine : )


1. What do you see your life like in 10 years?
In ten years I would like to see us moved from here closer to the south. I would really like FL. Also I would like for us to already have kids and to be debt free. I know I ask a lot but it is all possible and I sure hope it happens. sooner the better. : )

2. What do you like most about your job?

The fact that I work with kids. They are just the cutest things ever, and they say the darnest things so they keep a smile on my face. : )  

3. What are three things you do every day, no matter what day it is?

Clean, I feel like I am always cleaning no matter what day it is. Get on the computer, face book or blog! I am addicted. And play with my kitties. They are too cute not to play with. 

4. What would you do with an extra five hours in the day today?
Cuddle with the hubs. I feel like we do not get enough time to do that anymore because we are both so busy.

5. What is your favorite Christmas (or whichever holiday  you celebrate) cookie recipe (please share!)?

I do not have one yet! But I am hoping I can find some good ones by reading everyone's post..
