Midweek Confessions

Today is The Mister and my's (I's, me...???) first official dating anniversary. Our first date was on leap day 4 years ago, so this is the first time we can officially celebrate it. I know that now that we are married it is kind of silly to celebrate the our first date, but it's kind of a fun day. We are headed to dinner at the same place we went four years ago. He even called a few days ago to reserve the same table. He's so cute!

Enough of that :) Its time for some confessin'!

Why yes, I did polyvore my lazy clothes. However, somehow I picked out $90 sweatpants. Feel free to pin it. Ha!

This is pretty much what my husband sees my wearing 85% of the time. After work I go to the gym and then after that I shower and put on a pair of sweats or jammie pants and an oversized t-shirt. Then the Mister comes home from work. I feel bad. BUT not bad enough to put on "real" clothes after my shower to lounge around the house in.

I knew I was going to have the Mister take this picture, so I put on my "nice" sweats. They're nice because they're black, and don't have spaghetti sauce stains on them.

I can't help but pop zits on my face. I know every reason why I shouldn't, but I can't help myself.

Sometimes I day dream about what I would do if I wasn't a teacher. I settle on waitress or working in a library. I know that those jobs seem some what lackluster for day dreams, but I waitressed for a summer and it was some of the most fun that I have had at a job. And I like books. And the smell of libraries.

Have you ever seen the "trending now" sections on websites like yahoo or msn? Sometimes I don't believe them. I mean, how can Jaleel White be the most searched for term?

I just went back to yahoo and clicked on it and apparently he is going to be on Dancing With the Stars.

What are you confessing this week friends? Head on over to me,myself and I and link up!

High Freaking Five

Time to look back (and link up) at the things that made this week great!
one

I decided to take today off work as a personal day.

BEST DECISION EVER!

So far I have worked out, taken the dog to play and treated myself to a breakfast Subway.

Just look at the gorgeous blue sky!

The weather guy says it is supposed to get icky later so I am glad that I took the time this morning to enjoy it.

Natural Bliss Coffee Creamer

I love me some coffee creamer, but I was feeling really weird about the amount of ingredients I couldn't pronounce on my usual creamer. This stuff is made with milk, cream, sugar and one or two other natural ingredients. AND it is super tasty!

Yesterday I had the best class with my leadership kids.

We played a game outside then we just chatted.

And laughed.

I love my job.

Girl Scout Cookies

I finally found me some Girl Scouts. And I bought my usual order:
2 boxes of Thin Mints and a box of Samoas.
I did find out that the troop only gets like 50 cents from each box. That doesn't sound like it's sending too many girls to camp. #Girl Scout Fail
(Did I do the hash tag thing right? I just always wanted to hash tag)

new babies
I met my friends new baby this week! So much hair!!!

What made your week great!

Cake. Yum.

The Mister and I were married June 26, 2010. I love to share things about our wedding, but since it was over a year and a half ago, I feel weird writing about it now. But Brittany over at The Magnolia Pair is doing a fun wedding cake link up today. So I thought it would be a good excuse to share a few details. First off, we only had one cake. I hadn't really heard about grooms cakes except for in the blog world, and the Mister isn't a huge fan of cake, so he didn't care about the idea of a second cake.

Our cake was a simple 3 tier cake. When I was looking at cakes the only thing I knew was that I didn't want and fondant, and I liked ribbon on it. I actually had really wanted a fun cake topper but I never found anything that I was in love with when I was looking. The day before the wedding the girls at the cake shop called me and asked if I found a topper. I hadn't so they said, don't worry about it, we will use flowers.

The cake was displayed in a metal gazebo that was hand made by my father-in-laws best friend. He also made several of the plant stands that held potted plants around the reception. (For each of his daughters weddings he had made different items and I just got to use them all!) He also drove us in his 1950ish Cadillac limo that day.

The most important part to me was the taste. The bottom layer was a white cake with chocolate cream center (the mister's choice). The middle layer was red velvet with cream cheese (my choice) and the top was white with a Marion berry filling. The farm has a crop of Marion berries so it was in honor of that. That, and the Marion berry is the most superior of all the berries.

Do you see the fan? It was unseasonably warm
 and they worried about the cake melting.

I really wish the fan wasn't in these pictures.

You are seeing my only bite of red velvet cake. I actually didn't get another piece until the next day and only the white/chocolate cream was left. I was told the Marion berry was amazing.

We didn't save the top layer for a couple reasons: 1) The Mister doesn't really like cake 2) The Mister (and I) are weirded out by year-old cake and 3) We wouldn't have had enough cake for our guests if we had saved the top layer.

I know that this isn't a picture of cake, but I wanted to show a pic of the super cool limo :)
Did you eat year old wedding cake? How did it turn out?

Mid Week Confessions: Take 7

Wednesday! Who has some confessin' to do??? Head on over to e,myself and I and check it out!

The Mister totally beat me at Valentine's this year: tulips, a milk chocolate lady bug, a card and a super cute bird necklace from this etsy shop. I got him some Hershey Kisses and some chore coupons. I didn't even get him a card.

I bought this settee last weekend for $5 at a garage sale with the intent of recovering it. I am realizing now this will be harder than I had originally thought.
Actually, I wasn't thinking. I saw it was $5 and thought "ooh! I like projects."

I am terrible at keeping secrets. So much so that I won't hang out with people until I don't have to keep the secret any more.

I teared up during Jennifer Hudson's Grammy performance of I Will Always Love You.

I really want to know if Jennifer Aniston is pregnant or not. My secret pal at work got me a Star magazine and the cover story was about Jennifer's twins that she is expecting. But hasn't she been pregnant for the last 2 or 3 years?

School was closed the last two Mondays (furlough day and Presidents Day). I decided to take a personal day on Friday just because I can. The Mister asked if I ever work. I do, I just don't want to this week.
