Aunt Flow, Cheetos & Box Wine

Hey Y'all! 

I have so missed this link-up...about as much as I miss fatty foods while dieting! And just so were clear that's ALOT! I always know I can get a damn good laugh on Wednesdays with all you funny ladies!

I confess...that I opened a bottle of wine at 3:00 on Monday and it was gone by 5:30 when Michael was just getting home from work. And I don't regret it one damn bit...

I confess...I’ve contemplated becoming an full-time alcoholic to lose weight. My Aunts live on box wine and never gain a pound but if I eat celery I gain 3. 

I confess...that I could eat Flamin' Cheetos every. damn. day. They are like a spicy drug for me. 

I confess...that since Aunt Flow is here for the week....I have been a RAGING BITCH! My whole body hurts, I'm hot, and I need these ninjas removed from my ovaries.  

I confess...with Michael and I trying to eat healthier I told him he better not lose more weight than me, but if he were to ever tell me I better not get too fat, I would throat punch him in his fucking sleep! 

With my 1 year blog anniversary coming up next week, I hope all y'all join my $25 Visa gift card giveaway that went live TODAY! :)

ABC's of Me

Good Morning Darlings!

A-Age, 28 years young. No Joke, I just had to think about this because I was not sure. #oldpeopleproblems

B-Bitchy, I can admit that I am not the most pleasant person to be around those 2 weeks out of the month.   

C-Calm is something I am not. EVER. I am a self-diagnosed crazy person.

D-I loved dodge ball in elementary school. Nowadays, I daydream about playing it with some of my least favorite people. :)

E-Entertaining is one of my favorite things to do, I could have a get-together with friends and family every weekend for whatever reason.

F-Fuentes is my last name, just an FYI if any of you are planning on stealing my identity….find someone else. It’s not worth it to take mine, I promise. Ha!

G-Google is my go-to problem solver. The hubs and I make bets quite often and since everything you read on the internet is true, we really rely on Goggle.

H-Is it weird I thought dirty when I came to the letter “H”? I'll skip this one to save on making things uncomfortable around here.

I-I might need a intervention for my addiction to reality TV.

J-I have juggled with doing the right thing or actually slapping the shit out of Michael’s ex-wife many of times.

K-Kind people don’t slap their husband’s ex-wife….so I am kind. :)

L-Laughing is my favorite medicine

M- I have NEVER played Monopoly.

N-I use to write for my high school’s newspaper. Nerd Alert.

O-The ozone is probably damaged because of the amount of hairspray I’m known for using.

P- My dream job has always been to be a photographer.

Q-My husband was the quarterback in high school.

R-After wrecking our 4 wheeler, I had a broke a rib.

S-Shopping for me is therapy and cardio.

T-My teenage years gave my parents a lot of grey hairs…makes me rethink reproducing quite often!

U-Unicorns are REAL.

V-I want a wine vineyard in my backyard instead of a garden.

W-Whiskey is probably the only liquor I can’t drink,  the smell makes me want to vomit on your shoes.

X-X-Rays in my mind are very similar to the little memory erasers that Will Smith used in Men in Black. So, I have always tested my memory after a X-Ray. Don’t Judge Me.

Y-Not all Texans say “Yee-Haw”…actually I don’t know any that do.”Ya’ll” is whole other story though.

Z-The zombie trend does not entertain me. What-so-ever.

What I'm Thankful For...

I'm thankful for...

My contact lenses, without them I would seriously be in public looking like a circus freak with coke bottles for glasses.

I'm thankful for...

being able to go 28 whole years without ever breaking a bone.

I'm thankful for...

My pillows, don't they just make the whole sleeping experience that much cozier? 

I'm thankful for...

 the “we will make anything you like into a vodka flavor” trend right now. 

I'm thankful for...

Reality shows like Extreme Cheapskates and Hoarders, they make me realize just how good I’ve really got it.

I'm thankful for...

The invention of heated car seats.

I'm thankful for...

Hot water, how miserable would showers be if the water was 40 degrees!

I'm thankful for...

Bras, even though some woman in Walmart choose not to wear them.

I'm thankful for...

My hair products that tame my wild lion's mane when I need to be seen in public.

I'm thankful for...

Braces, y'all should have seen my chops before getting them in 5th grade. Believe me when I say I’m grateful for the metal-mouth experience.

Hope all you fabulous people have a great Thanksgiving! 

No Longer MIA

Hey Hey!

Longtime no chat. 

I have been completely tied up lately and not in a good way.  I feel as though I should apologize but like a fellow blogger told me last week "Life Happens." and she was SO right. So I'm not gonna apologize for my blog being on the back burner the last couple weeks.  I love my blog but my family comes wayyy before anything else. I do feel as though I should explain myself a little because I don't want to come across as a phony and act though my life is all unicorns and rainbows. 

A couple weeks ago my small family unit and marriage were tested in a way that makes me even more thankful for the few awesome people I have in my life. My marriage will always be something I consider a accomplishment so I'm definitely not one of those people who think marriage is easy or something that doesn't take love, hard work, patiences, compromise and forgiveness. My family and I are moving forward from the last couple weeks and look forward to our futures. But in the meantime I'm looking forward to catching up with the followers of my blog! 

Thanks for being AWESOME! :) 

Sunday Social

      1. What is currently on your wish list?  

Isn't she absolutely beautiful!?  I would give a left arm, finger of your choice, right leg,and fat from my ass for this sexy beast.    

I informed the Hubs that I want a Can-Am Commander JUST. LIKE. THIS. He laughed.   -A house cleaner and chef for a year or forever. -Super Bowl tickets -A pallet full of my favorite wine -Rescue all the orphan dogs (And then load them all in my Escalade for rides with the windows down.) -A unlimited gift card to Starbucks     I wish BIG. So what!?    
2. Share a new iPhone, droid, iPad app that you have recently discovered that we all need.

Credit Karma

I love checking my credit score every so often (nerd alert) and this app let's me do it for free...Yes.

F-R-E-E.

Plus, it's pretty darn accurate.

3. What is a new fall TV show that you have added to your dvr? Trophy Wife I'm a sucker (That's what she said) for good 'ol comedies, plus I think Malin Akerman is so gorgeous!

4. Share your social media links so we can follow you. (Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, etc) Tell us which is your favorite and why.

I heart Instagram more so than any other social media sites.

 My thought is if I'm going to be passing the time with social media, I want to just completely shut my brian off while doing that and Instagram lets me acheive that task, by only sharing pictures and a limited amount of words.

Pinterest

Instagram

Google +

5. What is a tv show, movie, or song that you could watch or listen to over and over and never get tired of?

Friends

During the week, I watch at least 1 rerun every night. The Mr. can't understand why I can watch the episodes over and over again but once I watch a movie, I don't want to see it again for another 5 years.

Hope everyone had a awesome weekend, it rained all week here in my little town but this weekend turned out to be BEAUTIFUL!

Someday I Will...

This afternoon I decided to link-up with Taylor for a much needed reminder of things I want to do.

Someday I will...learn to dance like Beyonce instead of Miley Cyrus.

Someday I will...pay off all our debt, we may only be debt free for 24 hours, but by gosh we did it.

Someday I will...go to a Super Bowl and wear a different teams jersey.

Someday I will...build our dream home in the country on a huge wooded piece of property with a pool, outdoor kitchen and master bathroom the size of Texas!

Someday I will...adopt even more rescue dogs.

Someday I will...accept my flaws and stop picking myself apart for the smallest of things.

Someday I will...learn to cook without worrying that I'm poisoning my family.

Someday I will...run at least a 5K.

Someday I will...bump into Angelina and Brad and they will adore me so much that they ask me to become their nanny.

Someday I will...hopefully become pregnant, I know this one isn't up to me but I can still hope for the best. :)
Someday I will...meet Gordon Ramsey and use every cuss word I know. Just because I can.

Someday I will...weight what I did in high school. I know it can be done, I just have to actually workout more than once a week.

Someday I will...own a Birkin bag. Psssh! Fat chance!

Someday I will...get a reality show.

When no one is looking...

Good Morning Lovebugs! 

With the Hubs working some crazy hours lately and giving baseball lessons when he is actually off work, I have found myself at home more often then I use to. So, I got to thinking about the things I do when I'm by myself and decided to share a few with you guys.

 I really hope we can all still be friends after this this. :)

When no one is looking…

-I talk to myself in the bath room mirror to see how my face looks while I’m talking.

-I google how to spell….ALOT.

-I put on my favorite pants and check out my ass.

-I have very long and deep conversations with my dog.

-I watch Honey Boo Boo...

-I also smell my dog's paws, because they smell weird! 

-I dance like Beyonce while I’m checking out what is in the fridge.

-I have ate PB & J sandwiches for breakfast.

-I practice accents, if I can’t look like Sofia Vergara I will just try to sound like her.

-I will make faces or mouth words when my husband turns around.

-I have drank wine out of the bottle.

Happy Tuesday!

Make Today Great! :)

Happy Hump Day!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far...if not, I hope this video will help!

Is That Weird?!?

-I like the smell of dried spray tan on my skin....

-I will not watch a movie unless it is from the beginning, even if I have seen it already...

-I love hot sauce/salsa but hate tomatoes....

-When I'm in a bad mood, I go through my "Funnies" board on Pinterest to make me feel better...

-I make up name combinations for my unborn children... 

-I don't like awkward silence, so I'm that girl just rambling so there is not silence...

-I can name all the Real Housewives...

-As some of you already know....I don't like beef. It just feels weird in my mouth...That is what she said.

-I no longer think Taylor Swift is sincere in her acceptance speeches...no one is surprised after the 67th award. Geez!

-I really like the smell of new tires...If someone could bottle the smell in Discount Tire stores, I would be all over that shit!

-While visiting New Orleans, I was more interested in the cemeteries than anything else...

What do you do/say/think that is weird?!

Five on Friday

Mornin' Lovebugs! 

Glad you decided to grace us with your presence.

Do I seem extra chipper this morning?!? It's all because I got my mind on my wine and my wine on my mind. Yes. I knowww it's early but no reason to judge a girl, I'm just thinking for this even when I get home from work. (I'm gonna pretend you believed that.) 

Its Friday, so you know what time it is, kids?!?

Five on Friday with the lovely Darci at The Good Life. 

                                           

-ONE- Wednesday night I watched Lady Gaga on Watch What Happens Live with my wanna-be BFF Andy Cohen and I think I came to the conclusion I like Lady Gaga. But strictly in a she says whatever the hell she wants and doesn't care what people think kinda-way, and I love that!

-TWO- Today I would like to give thanks to my Sigma Kabuki brush, it doesn't get credit where credit is do. But for real, who ever saids Sigma brushes are not as good as MAC brushes needs to be handcuffed to Miley Cyrus for talking crazy like that! I promise on my wine glass they truly are better than MAC brushes.

-THREE- I miss hog huntin' when it's cold! We always have such a good time! 

-FOUR-I'm really looking forward to the State Fair of Texas, which will start at the end of this month! Yay for, FRIED EVERYTHING. Lets be clear that's one of the main reasons we go! 

-FIVE- My awesome new throw pillows because there just so darn cute....can I ask why they are called throw pillows!? Anyone? 

Hope all you beauties have a GREAT day and weekend!
