The Nail Files
I'm a little late on this, but, I wanted to link up with Tara and her 'Nail Files' post!
So, I LOVED the way it looked and how easy it was to apply. I mean, no drying time?? Perfect!
And then, about an hour or so later, when the stickers started peeling up and wouldn't stick anymore? Yeah. That. Not a fan.
I'm hoping it was just a bad batch or something, because I really do love how easy this 'polish' is. But, for $10...I don't know if it's worth it. I'll be sticking with my regular old 'wait-three-hours-for-it-to-dry' polish from now on. :-/

*Our Love Story*
I'm posting today on behalf of Becky @ From Mrs. to Mama for her latest link-up! Such a cute idea!
Our Love Story
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Our 7 year dating anniversary (holy crap! 7 years already!) is on February 19th. And, our 3 year wedding anniversary will be on September 6th of this year.
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
Ha, not very exciting at all, but...he was my manager when I was working at Chili's as a server/bartender. We were the 'forbidden couple', I guess you can call it, since managers aren't supposed to date their employees. Something about favortism or whatever. Which, actually, is crap, seeing that Hubs was harder on me than anyone else we worked with. Ha! The nerve. ;)

3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
We've been married almost 2 1/2 years now. September 6th is our wedding anniversary.
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We got married at one of my favorite venues in our state, outside, over-looking a lake, and had about 130 guests at our reception. So, a pretty decent size wedding, if you ask me. Now, if it were up to me? I would've had a destination wedding, somewhere tropical, with just our closest friends and family. But, unfortunately, we had to make everyone happy. And, all in all, it was the most perfect day. :)
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
Our one and only nickname (that we actually call each other more than our actual names)...Babe.
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
He's the best daddy to Isabella that I could've ever asked for. He loves me for ME, and still gives me compliments, even after 7 years! (Hey, it's nice to know he's still attracted to me, even when I'm feeling like a frumpy, old mama these days. ;) ) He's pretty damn funny, and knows how to make me laugh...a lot.
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He actually proposed to me at one of my favorite places on Earth (2nd to Disney World, of course)...Fenway Park...home of the Boston Red Sox! It wasn't cheesy or anything, like on the jumbo screen...but, it after the game was over, while we were taking pictures, with just us and his brother/SIL there--to document the whole thing, of course. :)
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
Hm, I'd probably say neither. He's brought me home flowers on random occasions, that's for sure...but, more often than not, we're usually just relaxing together at home, with a movie and a few beers/glasses of wine. :)
Our 1st anniversary
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
Haha, see answer above. If we were on a romantic vacation (aka - our honeymoon), I'm definitely a sunset dinner on the beach gal. But, not for everyday romantics.

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
Travel. Most definitely. I've been dying to go to many places together, and hopefully we will one day once our babies are a little bit older. Hawaii, Mediterranean Cruise, Aruba...and the list goes on and on.

11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
Nothing too fancy, I'm sure. I think we're actually going to get a babysitter and go to a nice dinner, and maybe a movie. Exciting stuff, I know.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
I wasn't going to, actually, but, this mama just informed me of a great sale on Lightroom 3 on Amazon! I may or may not have to beg ask nicely for this. ;)
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Open communication, laughter, and affection. Ok, that's three things, but I couldn't choose just one. Now, when I say affection, I don't mean sexy time...holding hands, a good hug at the end of a long day, a nice kiss. It's the little things that keep that spark. :)
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.

Random-ish
It's been forever since I've babbled on about random crap stuff. Wait, don't I do that every day??
Anyways...who doesn't love a little mid-week randomness?? I know I do. ;)
~ The Hubs bought a new car!! And? I loooove it! He had a Jeep Wrangler 4-door before, which was fine, but not super safe with a baby. His new ride? Total family mobile! Big, roomy, 3rd row seating....all the amenities! Here she is:
It's a Hyundai Veracruz, and he got it in white. It's so pretty! :) I can't wait to take family roadtrips in this bad boy!
~ So, remember when I quit Diet Coke a few weeks ago?? It's been over three weeks since I've had any soda! I think that's honestly the longest I've ever gone in my life without it. Go me. :)
~ How am I doing with my blogging lately? I think I've been doing pretty good, compared to last year, at least! My new thing to help me blog more/better...as soon as I think of something I want to blog about, I log on to my Blogger app and start the post right away. Even if it's just one sentence, I put it in there so I don't forget about it, and then I add the rest of the post later. It's been working, so far!
~ During my long blogging hiatus back in December, I totally missed my two year blog-a-versary! December 5, 2009 was my first blog post ever. I honestly can't believe it's been over two years now since I started this fun little chapter...but, at the same time, I feel like I just started yesterday! Thank you to all my awesome readers, and for all of you who stuck around through all my ups and downs of blogging. I appreciate each and every one of you so much. :)
~ Totally random, but, does anyone else hate showering as much as I do?? No? Just me? Let me clarify, I love the feeling of being clean and fresh after I'm all showered, but, I just hate the process of actually getting in the shower and all that jazz. It's just so annoying to me. I don't know. Ha. I swear I'm not a dirty, smelly girl.
~ For the first time in almost all the seasons of The Bachelor/Bachelorette (I didn't watch Season 1), I'm not watching. I'm sorry, Ben just does NOT do it for me. He just seems so...boring? Blah? Just not into it. And, for the first time ever, I read the spoilers on Reality Steve and know who he picks. It's kind of fun, too....listening to everyone rant/rave about episodes each week, all while knowing exactly what's going to happen. I kind of like it.
~ I'm watching the finale of Tori & Dean right now, and watching the birth of baby Hattie is totally making me bawl my eyes out like a baby. It reminds me so much of Isabella's birth, and I still cannot believe my baby girl is going to be one already. And, it makes me want another baby just a little bit more. ;)
And, with that, Little Miss is waking up from her nap now. Time to play!
Only one more day and then it's Friday!
Oh, AND, it's the Superbowl this weekend! I hope you're all rooting for my Patriots!! ;)
