Long Week!

This week has been soo LONG! Is it just me, or is everyone else's week long too? I have registered for classes and payed tuition. I have worked long days at work being busy as a bee rearranching the store and giving it a new look. Also, TONS of jewelry and accessories have come in. What do you girls think?

Look at all the green, brown, and gold!! Gold jewelry is in for Spring 2010!!
The following is our classy and chic black and white shelf!
Statement necklaces are in for Spring 2010 as well!!!

These adorable girls dresses come in 2t-6t! The red zebra is adorable to monogram black and use for Valentine's Day, Alabama football, or Christmas!

Last night I went to dinner with a friend of mine, Josh. He goes to school about 4 hours away and we've known each other for about 2 1/2 years, we met my senior year of high school. We try to see each other during the different holiday breaks whenever he comes home. We went and got some sushi...I tried the RAW kind...it was DELICIOUS!! I am now a sushi lover! I tend to like the spicy ones :)

Brrrrr!!!!

It has been very chilly here the past few days here in south Alabama! Of course it's been freezing cold everywhere else too, but I'm sorry...it's NOT SUPPOSED to be this cold here!!!

I am ready for swimsuit season :) My sweet little baby Chloe is ready for swimsuit season too! Chloe loves getting dressed up! Well...sometimes! I always put the cutest outfits on her, if I do say so myself. She had the CUTEST outfit for her 3rd birthday party. (yes, i have had a doggy birthday party for my sweet Chloe each year, please don't hate :)...appreciate)

Yesterday, she was wearing her sweet little pink sweater with pink scarf that my future sister-in-law gave her last year. She was on my bed and in a very playful mood and I took her picture...she hardly ever poses when I want her too! Please excuse the static in her ears.

This morning I was getting ready for work and put on a different sweater on my cute little Chloe. She is usually fluffy, but recently got groomed...so we have to have a sweater on her at all times now :) We took a picture...she decided not too be so phoogenic on this one.

I think she was just sad that I was about to go to work :(....so I gave her some kisses to make her feel better!

I went to work and had a fabulous day with Amie and Jenn! I saw some of my favorite customers today. Hey Aimee and Heather :) Today we rearranged the entire store, finished inventory, and put out NEW merchandise...which will be finished in the next 2 days!!!

When I got home I was SO excited to recieve a package!! I just love fun mail! I won a giveaway that the O-SO-FABULOUS Gwen had, and I love it. I just love all my Baekgaard goodies! Thanks again Gwen!

I recieved a sweet note in a cute damask print card, a super fun plaid notepad that is now in my purse, a cute handbag keychain, and an adorable wristlet :)

So, after looking at my fun new goodies, I starting checking blogs and reading about how everyone's day has been and I've been given some awards!!!

New Award!

Happy Sunday Everyone!


How has everyone's weekend been? I am eating a fresh and warm, just out of the oven brownie :) And boy, is it scrumptious! I haven't eaten a brownie in a long time!


Thanks everyone for your shopping sites from the last post! I have been looking at them and finding some unique things.

Amber at The Survival Guide for the Young, Fabulous, and Newlywed has nominated me for an award! It is a very FABULOUS award because she created it once she got 75 followers! She just awarded it for the FIRST time and I am honored to be one of the first ones to recieve this award.

The "Simply Fabulous" Award!

I just love the word 'fabulous'! It's one of my most often used words. Here's the rules on what I have to do:

- Post this award on your blog.
- Blog about a woman (real life, celebrity or fictional) that you think is *fabulous* and explain why you think she rocks.
- Pass the award on to 5 other bloggers that you think are deserving.

There are many celebrities who look fabulous, do fabulous things for charities, and I'm sure they are fabulous in real life too..but I haven't met a celebrity, maybe one day I can meet Reese Witherspoon or a 'fab' singer or something. The Fabulous people I know are every day heroes and role models that I get to see each and everyday.The most Fabulous woman I know is my momma. She has always lived each day to the fullest. She is always there for me. We always do fun things together and enjoy spending time together! We may sometimes have our moments, but what mother and daughter doesnt? :)

The 5 FABULOUS bloggers that I am giving this award too are:

Teresa at Blooming on Bainbridge

Cora at Heartfelt and Homemade

Kassie at Raindrops on Roses

Juliana at A Blonde Walks into a Blog

Risley at Adventures of the Wilkinson's

Have a FABULOUS week everyone!

-Lindsay

There's nothing better than...

Girl Time and Shopping!!

Mom and I spent the day together this past weekend in Florida. She works nights at the hospital and every other weekend and I work and go to school during the day, so we don't always see each other. We always enjoy our 'Girl Time'!

The first place we went to was lunch in Panama City Beach at Margaritaville. Mom had never been and I have, so I told her we would go.

It was NOT busy at all, so we were able to get quick service on our food. I was hoping the atmosphere would be the same as is it in the summer, but it was DEFINATELY not! O well! I told Momma I would take her back on a summer night :)

In the picture above, you can see the DJ area, and the 'Tiki' room up top. It would be fun to sit and eat up there with a bunch of friends.We sat on the side wall near the stage. You can see my pretty Momma and all the empty tables.I ordered the Chicken and Broccoli Pasta and it was yummy! Mom ordered the grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich on wheat. She said hers "was soo good".After we ate our lunch we strolled through Pier Park which is where Margaritaville is located. Pier Park has a lot of specialty shops and boutiques as well as a movie theatre, restaurants, and candy shops

We went to some cute shops. I bought a dress at DeJa-Vu for $20. It was regular $69. It's super cute with a navy turtleneck and Uggs :) I plan on wearing it tomorrow to work. I promise it's cuter in person!After shopping some more, we decided to stop for some energy :) White chocolate mocha's at the one and only...STARBUCKS!!! :)

We then saw a glimpse of Elvis..he was dancing at Tootsie's Lounge :)

We then did tons of shopping at the outlets in Destin. We went to Saks 5th Ave., Polo, Lacoste, and Coach..where I thought of Gwen :)

While we were shopping at the outlets, my mom and I look at each other and we are in desperate need of a Diet Coke! We are Diet-Coke-aholics! Major addiction to the wonderful Diet Coke! I've had 2 DC's while typing this :) Told you I'm addicted! Well, we spotted a Coke machine. We got together our $1.25 and fed it to the machine...when all of a sudden, not 1..BUT 2 DIET COKES came out!!! You would have thought I won the lottery or something, I quickly grabbed those Diet Coke's like they were gold! I didn't want anyone taking them away from me! Here I am proudly showing my 2 DC's :) Sorry I look so bad, I wasn't feeling great and had no make-up on!

We THEN went shopping at another outside mall, where I managed to find some other super cute clothes and jewelry. I can't find any pics of them. Sorry :(

I also bought Momma some earrings for her birthday coming up on the 23rd. She has to wear clip because she has sensitive ears. It is SO hard to find cute clip earrings these days! I wear regular pierced, so I don't have a problem :) Earrings are my favorite! They are so fun and girly! I keep telling momma to go and get her ears re-pierced. Maybe she will listen and go one day soon.

********************************************************************************

Here's a question for you girls? I am looking for some new online stores to shop at, do you know of any cute online boutiques? Stores with cute clothing and accessories? I'm always looking for something different. This is also a chance for other bloggers to get ideas on some new sites as well!

Have a FABULOUS day!!

-Lindsay

HERE'S THE YUCK!

I woke up yesterday morning feeling like crud! Today is worse!

I had to call in sick, (sorry Amie!) Amie only knows if I call in sick, then I'm REALLY sick! I hate calling in sick!

Speaking of Amie, go visit HISSYFITS BOUTIQUE. This is where I work! Check out the new Mahlon Grace Jewelry :)

My eyes are bloodshot and watery and itchy. I have like the worst allergies and sinus crud I've ever had! I have been taking tons and tons of Dayquil and Nyquil, and eye drops too! I will post some pics of my weekend shopping trip with mom later this week. Right now, I am going to try and take a LONG nap and get to feeling better. I HAVE to go to work tomorrow! :) and I plan on being 100% better! Have a lovely afternoon!

-Lindsay

I love surprises!!

Happy Monday everyone!

Not much has happened around here since yesterday. I did make some chocolate chip cookies :) Right as I took them out of the oven I realized I didn't take any pictures! So, you will just have to imagine how yummy and pretty my chocolate chip cookies were! I also went to Wal-Mart to get some stuff for Mom. I love Velveeta and Rotel dip! I bought those two things and some Tostito's Scoops and snacked on it instead of eating lunch and dinner...oops!

This pic is from foodnetwork.com. However, I don't use hamburger meat and celery like they have in the picture. I'm not that much of a hamburger meat eater anyways.

So, I checked my e-mail this morning, and Tales of a Short Southern Momma said she had a surprise for me over at her blog! GO SEE HER!! She is fabulous! I quickly checked to see what it was. I just LOVE surprises! I won an award!!! The You've Got It! Blog Award.
Here are the bloggers whom I nominate!! Enjoy your award girls! Everyone should go visit these girls!

Thanks again Tales of a Short Southern Momma!!

As most of you know I started the Devotional Book called "Lady In Waiting", and I just wanted to leave you girls with 2 quotes that I read from it.

"A woman is not born a woman. Nor does she become one when she marries a man, bears a child and does their dirt linen, not even when she joins a womens liberation movement. A woman becomes a woman when she becomes what GOD wants her to be."

"Happy indeed are those people, married or single, who have discovered that happiness is not found in marriage but in a right relationship with GOD" -Gary Chapman

Have a Fantastic Monday!!
