Back to my regularly scheduled life

First of all, I hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day yesterday! && Second of all, good luck to all the kiddos starting school today! 

(Around here, it's the first day of school. I know some started a couple weeks ago though.)

One of these days it will be me posting pictures of my children going off to school and crying my eyes out, but until that day, I'll just keep posting pictures of my dogs. I'm definitely not rushing on the kids thing.

Well, today marks the first day back to work with no countdowns to the next vacation. The past few weeks have been a little crazy for me. My boyfriend and I took a vacation to see his parents and then we headed off for the mountains for a little getaway, just the two of us. I'll have to make a whole separate post for that vacation though, so be sure to check back this week. 

This past weekend was spent at the beach house with my family. Our beach house pretty much stays rented out, so it's only a couple times a year that we all get to go down there together to spend some time together. Unfortunately it wasn't much of a beach weekend due to it being super windy, but we still had a lot of fun and got a lot of relaxing in! 

Although I'm sad that I don't have any other vacations to start counting down to, I do have lots of other countdowns now... Here's a few I have going at this time:

Eagles Regular Season Football Starts- 6 Days

Flyers Regular Season Hockey Starts- 30 Days

Admirals Regular Season Hockey Starts - 38 Days

My Birthday- 49 Days

Halloween - 53 Days

Thanksgiving - 79 Days

Black Friday - 80 Days

MY GRADUATION!!!! - 102 Days

Christmas - 108 Days

New Years - 115 Days

I have a lot to look forward to, especially my long awaited graduation! Another thing I'm looking forward to is fall and colder weather! I can't wait for jeans and hoodie weather, crock pot meals, and pumpkin patches. 

By the way, when is it too early to decorate for Halloween???

Time to get some homework done and get through this work day. Check back for my post on my mountain adventure!!! :) 

The hockey planning has commenced.

Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone's weekend went really well! 

All of the NHL Hockey schedules were released Friday, and for me it began a frenzy. I was taking a look at all the teams I liked and started figuring out games that I wanted to go see! If you haven't figured out by now, I'm a huge hockey fanatic. My #1 goal is to make it to Anaheim to see a game in the near future. Whether that will happen or not, who knows. It's always good to have goals, right?

Here are the games in which I'd love to be able to make it to:

Sunday, October 6, 2013 - Carolina Hurricanes vs Philadelphia Flyers

Sunday, October 13, 2013 - Anaheim Ducks vs Ottawa Senators

Friday, November 15, 2013 - Carolina Hurricanes vs Anaheim Ducks

Monday, December 23, 2013 - Washington Capitals vs Anaheim Ducks

Saturday, January 25, 2014 - Philadelphia Flyers vs Boston Bruins

Sunday, March 2, 2014 - Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers

Now I definitely will not make it to all of these games! But if I at least make it to 2 of the 6, I'll be extremely happy. :) 

While I'm on the lines of talking about hockey, I'd like to wish Mr. Shawn Thornton a very happy 36th birthday. You're getting old poptart! But I still love you! :) 

Quite a few years younger, but Shawners none the less!

Hope you all have a fantastic day and thanks for reading my blog!

...Until Next Time...

Kiss of Death

First off, Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. As well as I hope you all have quite the awesome weekend!

I'm beginning to think that I'm the kiss of death. Things at work are still picking up since we relocated, but they aren't back to normal quite yet. Since we've been here, I've been doing a lot of traveling or being away from the office. Normally you think that would be a bad thing... but evidently it works wonders for the business. Whenever I am out of town or take the day off, they get really busy. I'm starting to think that I should just get paid to go do estate sales and yard sales with my Mom on Fridays! Seems pretty reasonable right?

My Mom has started finding things and reselling them on Ebay and making good profits. Well, she's been out of town this week so guess who had to take over shipping everything for her!? You got it, this girl! She has been selling stuff constantly this week. I think I get the unfair side to this deal though. She gets to hear the money sound go off on her phone and get the money in her account... I get the task of packaging, doing postage, and shipping it all out. I think I'm going to have to rethink this arrangement. :) Totally kidding of course! I certainly benefit when we are out and I find something I like. See I don't have the eye for things that can sell. I'm glad one of us does though.

Well it's time to try to get some stuff finished up at work so I won't have loads of paperwork to do next week! And then of course it's time to continue reading City of Ashes which is part of  The Mortal Instruments series. :) 

Hoping to have a pretty good blog to put up next week! Seeing as how Jonas' birthday was Wednesday, I'm celebrating it this weekend! He is officially 5 years old. I'll be making a cake for him and everything! Did I mention Jonas is my dog!?!?!

...Until Next Time...
